Chapter 663: Chapter 663: Shrine Ghost God!

He saw the members of the Caozhi Family kneeling on the ground, not daring to utter a word of nonsense, hurriedly nodding their heads.

"We’ll tell you everything, we won’t conceal anything at all!"

With the Family Head dead, they no longer had the courage to talk tough to the person in front of them.

Tang Zhong looked at them coldly and asked, "Where is Inoue Kazuo?"

This was what Tang Zhong most wanted to know. Even though his grandfather’s death had a connection with the whole Bei Country, the biggest criminal was still Inoue Kazuo.

When the people heard this, they exchanged glances and hastily said, "We don’t know!"

"How can you not know? Didn’t you say that Inoue Kazuo would come for this Shrine’s ritual?" Tang Zhong said.

It was precisely because he learned that Inoue Kazuo would return here that Tang Zhong came to the Two Waters Mountain.

"No, reporting to the Master, that Master Inoue... Inoue Kazuo will not come!" someone kneeling on the ground said.

"Then what is this Shrine ritual for?" Tang Zhong asked coldly.

"We don’t know either!" someone said anxiously.

"You don’t know?" Tang Zhong narrowed his eyes.

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

"Is that so?" Tang Zhong’s eyes narrowed.

Now that he had completed the Soul Transformation, he was extremely sensitive to people’s perceptions. He could clearly feel that these people’s heartbeats were accelerating, and a person’s heartbeat only speeds up when they speak. This indicated that all of them were lying.

And if there was one reason that could make these people lie, it would be because the matter they were about to discuss was extremely important.

The members of the Caozhi Family were stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded, "Everything we’ve said is the truth!"

The lead was a middle-aged man, the eldest son of the Caozhi Family. He said, "We’re absolutely telling the truth, otherwise we wouldn’t die well!"

"That’s right!"

The others went on to say.

But at this moment, Tang Zhong directly picked up his Tang Sword and swung it at the Caozhi Family’s eldest son who was speaking, slashing at him with the blade.

The human body is extremely fragile under a blade, just like a bubble.

A Sword Slash passed, and there was a crackling sound.

Under the Tang Sword, the man was directly split in two, blood spraying out, his body collapsing to the ground like sludge.

This scene terrified the others, making them tremble with fear.

Then they saw Tang Zhong sheathing his Tang Sword, which had not been stained with any blood, and said coldly, "Now, I’ll ask again, what is this Shrine ritual for?"

Thump-thump, thump-thump, everywhere were members of the Caozhi Family kneeling on the ground. They were truly frightened. The man before them was like the God of Slaughter himself.

"We’ll tell, we’ve told you everything!"

"We’ll tell you everything!"

Now not a single person dared to talk nonsense.

Tang Zhong looked on indifferently. Indeed, in this world, violence could solve everything. When others did not submit, one would draw the sword!

"Then... speak!" Tang Zhong said.

The many Martial Artists from Bei Country, wielding weapons and coming to the Two Waters Mountain to participate in the Shrine ritual, certainly indicated something was amiss with the Shrine ritual.

"The item we are supposed to offer at this ritual, we truly do not know. However, we know that everything comes from Master Inoue. We heard they are undertaking a very big plan!" someone from the Caozhi Family said.

"What plan?" Tang Zhong inquired.

"A plan targeting the Martial Arts of Xuan Country. If this plan is successful, the Martial Arts of Xuan Country will be forever trampled under the feet of the Martial Arts of Bei Country. They also said that this plan is related to the item being offered at the ritual. We heard they are planning to melt down all the weapons and then fuse them with the item being offered at the ritual!"

"Fuse?" Tang Zhong furrowed his brows. He suddenly remembered that the Tang Sword had always been in the hands of Inoue Kazuo, but now that it appeared here, it was destined to be melted down. Then Tang Zhong’s gaze turned toward the distant Shrine. He wanted to see what they were worshiping. He just had to go in and look.

Immediately, he moved through the air toward it, curious to see what it could be.

Walking into the shrine, I saw something shrouded in red cloth and offered on an incense burner ahead, unclear what was inside.

Tang Zhong walked forward.

His eyes narrowed in an instant, and he fiercely slashed down with his sword.

The powerful Sword Qi immediately lifted the red cloth.

Beneath the red cloth, there lay a segment of a dark, seemingly charred arm.

But what mattered wasn’t the arm itself, it was the burnt clothing on the arm that Tang Zhong saw—it was the uniform of the Imperial Army, traceable back to a long time ago...

Was this the deity to be worshipped?

As Tang Zhong stared in astonishment, he suddenly saw that the arm that was being worshipped began to twitch.

"This..."

The palm was sharp like a dagger.

It lunged at Tang Zhong.

"Who dares intrude upon the territory of this General!"

Without thinking, Tang Zhong directly executed a Sword Slash.

The sword struck with a boom, and the flying palm was forcefully split open.

Landing on the ground, it turned directly into a pool of black liquid.

"You... you dare to slash my hand, you are dead!"

A voice as if belonging to the Demon King echoed out.

Tang Zhong kept his gaze fixed ahead, knowing that the voice must have emanated from that very arm.

How powerful could a talking arm be in and of its own?

Was this the divine spirit of the shrine that the people of Bei Country wanted to worship?

This was nothing but a ghost god, wasn’t it?

Tang Zhong might have been somewhat ignorant about ghostly beings before, but now he had a fairly good understanding.

Soul equals perception, and as perception grows stronger, so does the soul.

When a person’s soul becomes powerful, even with just a single soul, one can continue to live.

The soul can attach itself to its own body.

For instance, should Tang Zhong die now, his soul would have grown strong due to Soul Transformation cultivation.

What is called ’soul departure’ should indeed exist.

Currently, Tang Zhong only had a superficial understanding of these things, but he knew that what he understood had a significant relationship with the term ’life’.

And now, on this charred hand, there must be a soul, right?

No matter whose soul it belonged to, he had to destroy it!

Now, with the Caozhi Family annihilated, what welcomed Tang Zhong was Inoue Kazuo, along with the entire Martial Arts of Bei Country.

Since the ones who had killed his grandfather included the entire Martial Arts of Bei Country, now he was going to make Bei Country pay, to let them know the cruelty that the Martial Arts of Xuan Country could inflict.

Immediately Tang Zhong gripped the Tang Sword tightly in his hand, to avenge his grandfather with the sword he held, and to ensure the entire Bei Country would remember what the people of Xuan Country were made of.

Right then, he leaped into the air and flew straight out of the shrine.

After his Soul Transformation cultivation, Tang Zhong’s jumping ability had become exceedingly formidable, almost as if he had learned Qinggong.

Soaring into the air, he looked back over half of Liangshui Mountain, immediately grasping the Tang Sword in his hand.

The massacre of Bei Country’s journey would start from here; if he did not turn Bei Country upside down, then the name ’Tang Zhong’ would henceforth be spelled backwards.
