Chapitre 152: They Are Waiting For Us
"Guards, guards, where are you? There's an intruder here. Cough, cough… cough, come to my room hurriedly cough, cough."
The village leader shouted with all his might. He started to cough while shouting because of his old age. He was already old, and shouting like this was definitely difficult for him.
He was on the ground and looked at Yang Zhai. Yang Zhai was standing in front of him, and behind him were Si Yu and Li Na.
"I already killed all your servants and the guards. Now, there is nobody left to protect you: therefore, tell me who your master is?" Yang Zhai looked down at the village leader, who was on the ground.
The old man tried to pull his upper body off the ground. Then, he moved his elbows behind him to touch the floor with his. This way he could look at Yang Zhai more easily. He balanced himself with the help of the elbows on the floor.
"I will never tell you, hahaha. And you two, how dare you to betray me. I took you in, but you betrayed me, you are nothing more than dogs who bit the hands which fed you." The village leader first said to Yang Zhai and then looked at Si Yu and Li Na who were behind Yang Zhai.
Si Yu and Li Na tilted their heads downwards out of shame. They knew what they were doing now was what they hated. However, even though they did not want this, they still could not do anything. The courage they had before could not be summoned by them anymore. Maybe, it was the fear of losing each other that Si Yu and Li Na held themselves back.
"I heard that you have a daughter, am I right?" Yang Zhai said slowly, intensifying every one of his words.
His face had splashes of blood on it and his hands were fully covered in blood. When Yang Zhai said this, the village leader's expression changed. He knew that even though Yang Zhai seemed to be a kid, he was not someone who would hesitate to kill someone. His appearance was proof of it.
It seemed like he had played with blood before coming here.
"Haha, even if you killed my daughter, I won't tell you anything, I won't betray my master." However, the village leader was still obstinate and refused to reveal anything.
Yang Zhai did not say anything and looked at the old man for a while.
"You two, hold him." Yang Zhai left the room after saying this.
"What do you think he is going to do?" Li Na didn't understand and asked Si Yu.
Si Yu trembled after thinking of something after Li Na asked him a question. He was covered in sweat in no time. It was a cold night, but Si Yu was sweating. It could be seen how terrified he was.
"Screams…," Si Yu uttered only a single word as an answer.
"What?" Li Na did not understand what Si Yu meant, and she asked again.
"Back at the tunnel, when brother Fen attacked the seven cultivators, he left me behind. However, I heard screams filled with agony. I could feel the pain just from the screams. I can't even imagine hearing those screams again. But…if the village leader doesn't reveal anything, I think…I will hear those screams again." Si Yu said with a trembling voice.
Li Na still did not understand anything. But she could still remember the scene from a while ago.
She was standing at the entrance of the turn of the underground tunnel when Yang Zhai arrived before her, covered in blood. That scene was terrifying to her. She fell on her backside when she saw Yang Zhai and wanted to run. But she calmed down a little after seeing Si Yu with Yang Zhai.
She was still a kid and had not seen someone covered in blood like this before.
Even when she and Si Yu were beaten by the murderer of her mother, they were not covered in blood like this.
However, the old man understood what Si Yu was trying to say. He wanted to stand up and go after Yang Zhai, but Si Yu punched the old man in the face and shouted,
"You scoundr*l, don't you care for your daughter? Is your master that important to you? Is hiding his identity more than your own daughter? It's just a name, tell him already."
Li Na was surprised after seeing Si Yu's reaction. This was the first time she had seen Si Yu like this. This was the reason she did not stop him. If he reacted this way for the first time, then there must be a crucial reason behind this.
"Look who's talking, you betrayed us and let him attack our group, and you still have the guts to say this."
"Hey, old man, I don't care what you are saying, but let me give you a warning, you will definitely reveal everything yourself after seeing your daughter's condition: so, isn't it best if you reveal everything without letting big sis Xin Yan suffer? Did you not see brother Fen clearly? His appearance is the evidence that is evident."
The old man fell silent after hearing Si Yu. He could also tell what was going to happen now. The kid(Yang Zhai) he had seen before was clearly no ordinary human. Even though he had the experience of age, he could not read the kid(Yang Zhai).
Eventually, the door opened and Yang Zhai entered the room with Xin Yan.
Xin Yan wore white a Ghaghra with a beautiful white wreath on her head. Her eyes were also white and had black hair. She looked breathtakingly graceful. She seemed to be a white fairy from the heavens.
"Father!!" Xin Yan shouted after seeing her father and was about to run to him, but Yang Zhai grabbed her right wrist and stopped her.
"You are not going anywhere. If you move, I will kill him."
Xin Yan hesitantly stopped after hearing Yang Zhai.
"Why are you doing this to my father? What did we do to you?" Xin Yan asked Yang Zhai with a scared expression.
"Be quiet." Yang Zhai spoke to Xin Yan before turning around and saying to the village leader,
"So, old man, I will ask you one last time, will you tell me everything?"
The old man was silent for a while, then he looked at Xin Yan's anxious expression and said,
"I will tell you what you want to know, just spare my daughter."
"Oh, then tell me, who is behind all this?" Yang Zhai was impressed that the old man understood the situation.
"It is the third elder of the Bai clan, he is the one who is behind the creation of this group."
Yang Zhai was not surprised to hear that. After all, he knew that the third elder was a traitor from the very beginning. He had heard Jun Nie speaking with the enemy about the third elder being a traitor in the forest when they were attacked on their way to Ma clan. However,
"Old man, let me tell you, I will be taking your daughter with me, I will make sure that she suffers every day if I find out that you lied, remember this." Yang Zhai moved forward and said with a calm smile to the old man.
But, his smile did not seem nice with the splashes of blood on his face.
"No, no, I did not lie to you, everything that I said is true." The old man hurriedly shook his head and spoke. He did not want to consider what would Yang Zhai do to his daughter.
"Also, tell me, where do you keep the cultivation resources?"
"Behind that curtain is an extra room. I keep the things that I collect there."
Yang Zhai entered the room that the old man pointed at. However, Yang Zhai only found essence stones and a few rank 1 useless materials. Yang Zhai stored these and came out of the room.
"Why are there only essence stones and a few useless rank 1 materials?" He looked at the old man with narrowed eyes.
"It's because I had sent all of the resources collected in the previous year to the third elder two months ago. Now, I have only these left, and nothing else."
Yang Zhai knew that the old man would not lie to him, his daughter was still in his hands. The old man was aware that even a little of his lie could put his daughter to suffer: thus, he would not dare to lie.
Yang Zhai moved forward and killed the old man. Now, he had no use left for the old man.
"Father!!!!" Xin Yan shouted after seeing Yang Zhai kill her father. Tears fell down from her eyes. She fell to her knees and began to cry.
Yang Zhai moved toward Xin Yan, but saw Si Yu and Li Na move in front of Xin Yan.
"Brother Fen, please don't do anything to her. She is nice to us and is not like them. She also never killed anyone before."
"Uh, do you want her to suffer her father's death? Also, what will you do if she comes back in the future and kills one of you, will you be able to endure each other's death?" Yang Zhai did not stop and moved forward.
Thereafter, he slashed his knife on Xin Yan's neck. Li Na and Si Yu were in daze and did not understand what had happened.
Both of them had not stopped Yang Zhai after listening to what he said: in fact, it could be said that both of them stopped after listening to Yang Zhai.
He had to make Si Yu and Li Na get adapted to these things; thus, he gave them a reason that they were willing to give themselves as an excuse. The killing was a killing, whether for good or bad, it did not matter.
The blood move downward smoothly and rapidly from the neck of Xin Yan and tainted her white clothes with red. Now, she seemed to be a red faerie from the heavens. Her clothes were slowly turning red, like magic. It seemed like she was transforming.
Her untainted appearance had a color in it now. She seemed to have come out of a beautiful painting.
Yang Zhai did not want to leave any evidence behind.
"You two, let's go to the Bai clan. They are waiting for us."
