Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175: Releasing the Monster

Du Huai stared at Tan Yaozong, carefully discerning the truth from the lies in his words.

This kid was all smooth talk; hardly half of what he said could be true.

With a gloomy threat, he said, "Fine, if you have no connection with Long Fei, then you’re no use to me. If I eat you, consider it bad luck."

Tan Yaozong quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, how can you not distinguish between right and wrong? You want to eat me because I know him, and you still want to eat me because I don’t know him; either way, I’m doomed, aren’t I?"

Du Huai sneered, "Give me one reason not to kill you?"

Tan Yaozong raised his neck and said, "Listen well, my father is the well-known Ninth Master Tan of Binhai City. Our family controls the entire fishing market in Binhai. Killing me brings you no benefits. On the contrary, by cooperating with us, our family would definitely provide you with many good things. Money if you want money, people if you want people, benefits way more than what you’d get from eating me."

"Is that so?"

Du Huai hesitated, considering that their Yin Ghost Sect had suffered significant losses in strength and indeed needed to ally with other powers.

Seeing him interested, Tan Yaozong pressed on, "Master, with your high cultivation level, you don’t even have a disciple of high talent. Why not take me as your disciple? I assure you, I’ll bring glory to your sect."

Du Huai saw his slick demeanor and changed his tone at once, "Audacious, behave yourself. I almost fell for your trick, you’re deliberately trying to get close to me, and then wait for me to let you go. Are you going to seek out Long Fei after that, to come back and destroy me?"

And to be honest, Tan Yaozong did have this plan.

He had no regard for this gloomy old man; if he were to take a master, he could use his relationship with Sixth Master Tan and become a disciple under Long Fei.

Once the old man trusted him and let him out, he could notify Long Fei to come here and kill the old man for a great achievement.

Unexpectedly, the old man had seen through it.

"It seems I guessed right."

Du Huai’s eyes grew dark, and he slapped Tan Yaozong’s face with his hand.

Tan Yaozong tumbled, his head crashing hard against the ground, crying out as he begged for mercy, "Master, I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?"

Du Huai coldly snorted, "Enough, your little tricks can’t fool me. My sect specializes in capturing human souls. I can sense your true thoughts even with my eyes closed."

"What?"

Tan Yaozong was stunned, not expecting the old man to have this skill.

He yelled out in tears, "Heavens, why am I so unlucky. If you want revenge against Long Fei, go grab his dad, grab his mom, why grab me? Even if you kill me, it won’t affect him in the slightest!"

Du Huai cursed fiercely, "Shut up, you spineless fool. With that cowardly behavior, you still dare to think about cultivating with me? Keeping you is useless, I might as well kill you and save the food."

He harbored killing intent, deciding there was no way he could let Tan Yaozong go.

If this kid shared even the slightest connection with Long Fei, he would surely be a pitfall to him, leading to a loss greater than the gain.

He called his disciples and had them hang Tan Yaozong up with ropes, suspending him over Cold Pond like a butchered pig.

The icy coldness of Cold Pond, the mere chill was enough to make Tan Yaozong shiver with fear, screaming out, "Old man, aren’t you being too excessive? When have I ever begged others like this? You’re senselessly killing people without distinguishing right from wrong, sooner or later you’ll get your retribution."

The old man coldly huffed, "It’s your bad luck, shouting louder does you no good. Beneath Cold Pond, lives our sect’s Sect Guardian Beast, which needs to eat a young boy every day. When midnight comes, it will come out to hunt. Then, when you become the meal in its belly, let’s see how you call out."

"Damn you, I’m not a young boy!"

Tan Yaozong was almost in tears, staring at the human-shaped bones around Cold Pond, understanding now their origin.

This old man was indeed too malicious.

At this moment, a thunderous boom suddenly came from the valley, causing the ground here to tremble along with it.

Disciples outside ran over anxiously, shouting to Du Huai, "Elder, it’s bad, someone has broken in."

The perimeter of Yin Ghost Sect was protected by a Formation.

The moment the person arrived and stepped down, the Formation was broken, nearly scaring the disciple witless.

Du Huai raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that kid has chased us here?"

He glanced at Tan Yaozong with a sidelong eye and roared, "And you said you have nothing to do with him?"

"Long Fei has come?"

"Is he here to save me?"

"Heavens, am I so important in his heart?"

Tan Yaozong was self-indulgently delighted, glaring at the infuriated old man while hurling back insults, "You old thing, my big brother has come to save me. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll release me right now. Speak a few good words on your behalf, and my big brother might even spare your dog life."

At this moment, he had turned into a tough guy.

"Thief, I will kill you now, let’s see how he can save you."

Du Huai, driven mad with fury, held a black Long Banner in one hand and unfurled it, and with whimpers inside, out came the shapes of Skull Heads, rushing to engulf Tan Yaozong.

Tan Yaozong struggled frantically against the ropes, cursing, "You old thing, you’re utterly dishonorable. Didn’t you say you were going to feed me to the Divine Beast?"

Before he finished speaking, the black Skull Heads opened their huge mouths, ready to bite down on him.

But suddenly, with a booming sound, a burst of fire shot into the sky before their eyes.

Long Fei and his party appeared, and two disciples, frightened, yelled, "Who are you, daring to trespass the Yin Ghost Sect!"

They were holding a porcelain jar, inside of which housed the little ghosts they raised.

Without a word, the two pulled off the red cloth on top and released a black fog at Long Fei and his companions.

Long Fei raised his hand, and a red light spiraled out.

With a ’puff’, the black fog scattered, giving rise to a white vapor.

The two disciples burst like watermelons, turning into misty blood, less significant than ants.

Long Fei snorted lightly, "Devious creatures, how many people have you harmed here?"

Walking all this way, even their old neighbors, masters from the Tai Chi Sect, followed with trepidation.

Bones were scattered all over the valley, men and women, as well as children.

Without having to think, one could see that it was these people from deviant sects who had done the killing.

Zhang Xuan’er, too, was angry and without waiting for Long Fei’s command, charged at the other disciples.

Du Huai, holding the black banner in one arm, fell back in retreat, yelling, "You brat, you’ve gone too far. To sever my arm and storm into my front hall, do you really think the Yin Ghost Sect is easy to bully?"

Long Fei stared at him, coldly saying, "You’ve harmed too many people, this is your karma, no one else to blame. Even if you die today, you cannot atone for your sins."

"Good, very good. Since you press me so desperately, let us perish together then!"

Du Huai took a deep breath, conjured a knife with one hand, and slashed his wrist, letting his fresh blood drip into the Cold Pond.

At the same time, muttering under his breath, he shouted loudly, "Sect Guardian Beast, drink my fresh blood, kill these intruders!"

Suddenly, a whirlpool stirred within the tranquil Cold Pond.

A muffled roar came from within, sounding as if a monster were about to emerge.

Tan Yaozong, terrified, screamed, "Ghosts, ghosts are coming out. Brother Long, Elder Long, please hurry and save me!"

Sixth Master Tan also called out anxiously, "Brother Long, quickly save my nephew."

Cold winds came sweeping in, Du Huai’s hair flying wildly, he flailed his single arm, bellowing like a man possessed, "Divine Beast, come forth, kill these mortals who despise you, make them kneel and crawl before your mouth..."
