Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Qin Tie quickly found the switch. It was an inconspicuous protruding stone. Qin Tie pressed it, and soon, he heard a cracking sound. A basket that could stand five to six people fell from the cliff.
Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu looked at each other. This design was advanced enough.
“Did you design this too?”
Su Qing asked Qin Tie. If it was true, it proved that Qin Tie had some skills.
There was a high chance of him making the mold.
The three of them got on the basket. Qin Tie pressed the switch, and they successfully rose.
The ghost child guarding the cliff heard the sound of the activated mechanism and looked down. When he saw that it was an outsider, he began to shoot arrows down. The arrows were all poisoned. If they hit someone, they would not live.
“It’s over, it’s over.”
Qin Tie clutched his head as he squatted on the ground and shouted.
No matter how skilled they were, they could not dodge these poisonous arrows. He regretted bringing them to the basket. Wasn’t this bringing them to their deaths?
just when Qin Tie thought they would die, Su Qing waved his flexible sword to form a barrier to block all the poisonous arrows. Xiao Zeyu, under Su Qing’s cover, nocked her bow and shot arrows at the cliff, causing the ghosts on the cliff not to dare to show their heads.
Qin Tie’s basket was a little slow. Seeing that the poisoned arrows could not stop them, the ghost cubs on the cliff began to cut the rope. Now that the basket was in midair, they would die if it fell dozens of meters from the ground.
“I’ll go up first.”
Su Qing didn’t wait for them to cut the rope. She grabbed the rope and flew up like an eagle, spreading its wings. She was very close to the top of the cliff after a few steps.
Qin Tie also forgot to be afraid. He raised his head and looked in a daze at Su Qing’s figure. Wasn’t this too powerful? The cliff was as flat as the ground under her feet.
This time, he believed that she was the one who killed the Fifth Ghost because she had the ability.
Xiao Zeyu wanted to stop Su Qing and go up himself, but he was too late. He was so angry that he glared at Qin Tie and asked sternly,
“You did it on purpose?”
“Of course not. This is the only way up.”
Qin Tie hurriedly waved his hands. Sensing Xiao Zeyu’s killing intent, he was so frightened that he panicked.
“Don’t play any tricks.”
Xiao Zeyu coldly snorted and raised his head to look worriedly at Su Qing. In the time it took to speak, she had already reached the top of the cliff. Her speed was so fast that even Xiao Zeyu was surprised.
His Qing’er was omnipotent! He could climb such a cliff but couldn’t reach her speed.
Su Qing jumped off the cliff. Those ghosts were all scared silly. She, she…She flew up?
Even their Ghost King couldn’t fly up; this woman could be an immortal, right? Su Qing didn’t give them a chance to figure it out. The Five Ghosts Sect weren’t spared, not one of them. She killed all the ghosts in mourning clothes and kicked them off the cliff.
Ghost child had already cut off three of the ropes of the basket, and the last one was broken in half. As the basket rose, this half of the rope also broke. Su Qing grabbed the rope, and the basket below shook. Qin Tie was so scared that he covered his eyes with both hands, waiting to see the King of Hell. However, he felt the basket slowly rise.
Xiao Zeyu had already used the Luan Dao to stab the cliff wall when the basket fell Even if the basket fell, he would be fine. Seeing Su Qing pulling the rope, he was afraid that Su Qing would not be able to hold on, so he did not stay in the basket and used the strength of the Luan Dao to climb up the cliff wall.
He didn’t fly up the cliff as quickly as Su Qing, but his speed wasn’t slow. He quickly climbed to the top of the cliff and pulled the basket up with Su Qing. Qin Tie was so scared that he couldn’t walk. He squatted in the basket and trembled. Xiao Zeyu reached out and pulled him out. He squatted on the ground and trembled.
“Don’t you want to avenge your daughter?”
Su Qing picked up the sword on the ground and threw it to Qin Tie. Qin Tie stopped trembling when he heard he could avenge his daughter successfully. Qin Tie grabbed the sword and got up. The fear in his eyes was replaced by hatred.
“I want to avenge Yuer.”
The three of them went through the main gate and killed their way to the headquarters of the Five Ghosts. The layout was eerie, making people feel as if they had entered the palace of the King of Hell. White mourning clothes were hung everywhere, and human heads hung on the walls. Some had just been chopped off and were still dripping blood, while some had turned into skulls to be used as lamps. Even the chair of the Ghost King was made of skeletons and bones. If a living person stayed in this terrifying place for too long, they would go crazy.
When those ghost kids saw someone rushing in, they didn’t even make a human sound. They were like ghosts from hell. Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu killed without leaving a single one.
The captured girls were all locked up in the dungeon full of poisonous insects. Those bitten by the poisonous insects and could not die could enter the Five Ghosts Sect. Most could not survive and were dragged into the Five Poison Valley as corpses to feed the poisonous insects.
Qin Tie raised his torch and walked into the dungeon. He still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that his daughter was not dead.
Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu stood at the entrance of the dungeon. Those beautiful girls who had once been as beautiful as flowers were tortured until they were like soulless corpses. Those who had not died were all sitting there in a daze. Those scorpions and poisonous insects crawled on their bodies without any reaction.
“Yuer? Yuer?”
Qin Tie raised his torch and shouted his daughter’s name. When those girls heard someone shouting, they raised their heads and looked at him. Their dull eyes flashed with fear. It was better to be bitten to death by poisonous insects than to be dragged out.
Qin Tie looked for his daughter one by one, but he could not find her. Tears could not help but flow down, and he had to accept the cruel reality that his daughter was already dead.
The few girls who had escaped death were rescued from the dungeon. They feared the light after staying in the dark dungeon for a long time. Su Qing did not let them go out. They had to adapt to the light in the room before going out. Otherwise, their eyes would be blinded by the intense light.
There was no need to leave this ghost stronghold behind. Xiao Zeyu burned the place to the ground.
After dealing with the headquarters of the Five Ghosts, Qin Tie knelt in front of Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu.
“What are you doing?”
Xiao Zeyu hurriedly pulled him up. Qin Tie’s eyes were filled with tears, “You helped me take revenge, so Qin Tie’s life belongs to my benefactor. I’m willing to go through fire and water for you.”
“Alright, you’ll follow me from now on.”
It was easy to get. He had initially wanted to ask Qin Tie to help make the mold. It was even better now that he was willing to pledge his loyalty.
Xiao Zeyu used a basket to send the rescued girls down the cliff. They sent them down the mountain with Su Qing and then went into the city to buy ten horse carriages.
They would first take back ten carts of treasures and seal the rest in the treasure cave. Zhou Bo and Qin Tie designed a new mechanism to prevent the Five Ghosts Sect from coming.
They brought ten carriages of treasures and spent ten days before returning to Luo City. They could rest well in their territory and live in the Luo City government office.
Song Fu and Zhang Jinglin visited Xiao Zeyu and Su Qing to report an essential military situation.
“Young master, the Northern Barbarians attacked Mo City and used a great killing weapon.”
Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu looked at each other. Was Qiu Yongkang still alive? He did not die and even led the Northern Barbarians to attack Mo City..
