Chapter 132: Chapter 0132: True Freedom

"Although revealing the secret could lead to ’consequences worse than death,’ in the face of the great fear of life and death, Xiao Zhao couldn’t endure and chose to come clean, to exchange for a momentary chance to live."

"Right." Chu Ge nodded slightly, showing a trace of a smile. He picked up the teacup on the table and placed it into Xiao Zhao’s mouth. "Have a sip of tea, take your time. I’m not in a hurry."

Looking at the teacup in his hands, Xiao Zhao had a desire to cry but no tears would come.

What was he doing drinking tea at a time like this? However, in the end, he still gulped down all the tea in the cup and then tremblingly said: "We... we are all disciples of the Ghost Poison Sect!"

The middle-aged man next to him seemed to shudder slightly but upon meeting Chu Ge’s icy gaze, he eventually let out a sigh and bowed his head, not daring to utter another word.

"Continue." Chu Ge instructed Xiao Zhao and simultaneously pondered to himself.

It seemed that the information Zheng Lihong mentioned that day was indeed true, the Ghost Poison Sect had already arrived in Shanghai, and they even sought him out. By this account, the Vajra Sect’s people might have also come to Shanghai, it’s just uncertain if Huo Tianqian has encountered any issues.

"Why are you looking for me?" Just then, Chu Ge suddenly asked.

Chu Ge’s question made Xiao Zhao shiver, but he quickly responded: "One of the Four Great Families of Modu, the Duan Family, has some dealings with our Ghost Poison Sect, so after we arrived in Shanghai, we went to the Duan Family first to understand the situation. We concluded that the statue was eventually auctioned off to you."

"Is it for the statue?" Chu Ge muttered to himself.

"Not just for the statue." Xiao Zhao swallowed and cautiously said: "The Sect Leader sent Ghost Face on a mission, and he died in Shanghai. Although the killer cleaned up the traces very well, the eldest disciple brought a Bloodthirsty Dog this time, which easily picked up the scent of Ghost Face’s blood. Then using a special method, it was roughly discerned that Ghost Face had been killed by someone!"

"Bloodthirsty Dog?" Chu Ge heard this term for the first time, asking with some curiosity.

"Yes!" Xiao Zhao nodded, not daring to hide anything, and explained thoroughly: "It is something specially raised by our sect. We select high-quality puppies from a young age and then continuously feed them living human flesh and blood, along with special training methods. When they reach adulthood, they become extremely sensitive to the smell of human blood, even able to distinguish the origin of the blood scent within a ten-mile radius clearly."

"Feeding them the flesh and blood of living people?" Chu Ge’s gaze turned piercingly cold, he could imagine that utterly brutal scene.

What Xiao Zhao went on to describe was almost what Chu Ge had anticipated.

The Ghost Poison Sect sent people to snatch the statue on one hand, and on the other hand, it was to avenge Ghost Face... to say so wasn’t exactly accurate, the main reason was to establish their might!

According to Xiao Zhao, it seemed that the Duan Family’s circumstances were not like before, so the Ghost Poison Sect also took advantage of this opportunity to fully showcase their strength.

"Heh, killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, so I’m considered the chicken in this scenario?" Chu Ge sneered and suddenly asked: "This time, how many people did the Ghost Poison Sect send out? What are their strengths, and do you have some information about the Vajra Sect?"

Xiao Zhao dared not conceal anything, and replied one by one: "This time we came out with ten people, six at the Postnatal Early Stage, two at the Postnatal Middle Stage, one at Postnatal Perfection, the team is led by our eldest disciple who has already half-stepped into the Innate Grandmaster realm!"

This matched with what Zheng Lihong had mentioned. It seemed that this half-step Innate eldest disciple was one of the top three disciples of the Ghost Poison Sect according to Zheng Lihong.

"What about the Vajra Sect?"

"Vajra Sect... We are not very clear about it," Xiao Zhao shook his head and said: "But I heard that the opponent seemed to have sent out only one person, who is extremely powerful. Eldest senior brother was very cautious when he mentioned this person."

Under Chu Ge’s coercion, Xiao Zhao told him everything he knew, and at that moment, Chu Ge had taken out two pieces of paper and two pens.

"The last request, draw the map of the Ghost Poison Sect for me."

The harmless smile on Chu Ge’s face, in the eyes of the two at this moment, looked no different from the smile of a demon.

"This is absolutely impossible!" The previously silent middle-aged man raised his head, his eyes wide with panic shining in his pupils.

The things that Xiao Zhao had mentioned before could be considered leaking intelligence, but if the map was drawn, it would be considered a complete betrayal of the Sect. At that time, even the Ghost Poison Sect might go to any lengths to eliminate the two of them!

Not just the middle-aged man, Xiao Zhao also fell silent, making no move to take the paper and pen.

"Oh? Such stubbornness?" Chu Ge’s face was smiling, but his pupils were already chillingly cold: "Think carefully. If you draw the map, you might not necessarily die in the future, considering I won’t publicize today’s affairs everywhere. With a good enough excuse, you might be able to muddle through. If you don’t draw it, now, you’re certain to die."

This time, Chu Ge gave them time to consider, but his fingers were already curling slightly, with searing Inner Strength flowing over them.

Finally, Xiao Zhao gritted his teeth and grabbed the paper and pen.

"Xiao Zhao, you..." The middle-aged man stared wide-eyed at Xiao Zhao’s actions, seemingly unable to believe that he would make such a choice.

With a bitter smile, Xiao Zhao shook his head and said: "Drawing it gives us a slim chance of survival, not drawing it means certain death. I don’t want to die!"

After speaking, he picked up the paper and pen and went aside to start drawing. Chu Ge had previously said that the two had to draw separately, no less than five meters apart. If the two maps were different, both would die.

After struggling visibly, the middle-aged man finally let out a sigh and also picked up the paper and pen to begin drawing.

Chu Ge watched their actions, nodded with a smile, but a mysterious gleam flashed in his eyes.

Eventually, after a few minutes, two nearly identical maps were laid out in front of Chu Ge. After carefully comparing them, he nodded satisfactorily.

The middle-aged man cautiously said: "We have told everything that should be said, and we have given you the maps, now you..."

"Yes, now I’m giving you your freedom," Chu Ge nodded and said.

A flicker of ecstasy showed in the middle-aged man’s eyes; however, before he could make a move, that ecstasy was eternally fixed within his pupils... A strand of True Qi pierced through his skull, blossoming into a gruesome blood-colored flower at the back of his head.

Watching the middle-aged man’s body slowly fall, Xiao Zhao seemed to be in shock for a moment, uttering dumbly, "Didn’t you say..."

His words would never be completed, as the second strand of True Qi had also pierced through his skull.

Looking at Xiao Zhao who lay dead on the ground with his eyes still open, Chu Ge smiled and said softly: "I never made any promises. Besides, aren’t you now truly free? The ultimate freedom."
