Chapter 665 Kill as Many as You Can
In the village, while listening to Song Yuan interpreting for him nonstop, Gao Ge gradually understands the ins and outs of the incident. What the villagers say is actually more or less the same as the information Song Yuan told Gao Ge before.
What truly intrigues Gao Ge is where the master is, who told them the thing in the lake was Water Dragon King.
That is likely to be a member of the Ghost Sect.
However, to Gao Ge’s surprise, neither do the villagers know the so-called master’s whereabouts.
According to them, the master rarely shows up. He only appeared twice. The first time he showed up to save the people from being eaten by Water Dragon King and the other time he did only to tell them how to placate Water Dragon King.
From then on, he has never appeared in the village anymore.
“It seems that that guy is not silly! He saved the villagers first to make them trust him. Then, he brainwashed them into believing the idea of sacrificing young girls to Water Dragon King without doubt,” Song Yuan figures out the so-called master’s intent soon and then says with a complicated look.
Gao Ge laughs and then says, “Is it a good move?”
Song Yuan thinks about it and shakes his head. “Actually, it is a little trick. He is not very smart, but compared with the villagers of Zhaojiagou, I have to say that he is smart indeed.”
Luckily, the villagers of Zhaojiagou can hardly understand mandarin so they don’t know what Song Yuan and Gao Ge are talking about.
“Since they don’t know the Ghost Sect’s whereabouts, we don’t need to continue sitting here anymore. Let’s go and have a look,” Gao Ge says and stands up.
“In such a hurry?” Song Yuan is taken aback.
“Do you think I’m idle…” Gao Ge can’t help roasting him.
Song Yuan grins.
“Besides, I felt a wave of energy fluctuation from the lake,” Gao Ge says.
Song Yuan is a bit surprised. “They’ve known we are here?”
“Tell me about it! Wasn’t the sword light a signal just now?”
Song Yuan takes a tumble and feels a bit regretful. “Did we overact just now?”
Gao Ge shrugs. “Anyway, he is not going to escape.”
Song Yuan says with a frown, “It seems that he is quite confident!”
“It is more likely that he is simply slow-witted,” Gao Ge says smilingly.
In fact, Gao Ge is not an arrogant man but faced with the people of the Ghost Sect, he just can’t help but scorn them. Of course, when he really gets into a fight with them, Gao Ge will be very cautious. After all, a lion will exert full strength when it fights with a rabbit. Surely he will be careful while fighting with the sinister and cunny people of the Ghost Sect.
Arriving at the entrance to the village, the village head suddenly asks, “Immortal, do you think we need to continue sacrificing in the future?”
Gao Ge sneers, “You tell me.”
The village head hesitates for a long while and then drags Gao Ge and Song Yuan forward for a distance before saying in a low voice, “If we still need to, please take my daughter away with you… It doesn’t matter to make her your slave or maid, as long as she can live. Besides, please tell Water Dragon King not to hate me for this…”
Before the village head finishes talking, Gao Ge can’t help interrupting him with a wave.
“Only your daughter’s life matters but the lives of the others don’t?”
The village head puts on a guilty look.
After all, he is the village head of Zhaojiagou, though he hasn’t been in this position for long.
When it is time to sacrifice a girl to Water Dragon King, he will mobilize the villagers and persuade them by iterating some motivational principles. However, as he does it too many times, he will find what he says is too hypocritical. If his daughter is to be sacrificed, he won’t listen at all. Now, there are not many young girls in the village. It may not be long before his daughter is sacrificed. Hence, he can’t refrain from taking measures.
Gao Ge pays no heed to the village head and walks in the direction of the lake with Song Yuan.
While walking forward, Song Yuan says to Gao Ge, “Actually, I don’t understand why he needs so many young girls?”
“I guess it is to elevate the cultivation level?” Gao Ge asks. “The people of the Ghost Sect have a lot of such means.”
With a sigh, Song Yuan thinks about it and says seriously, “If I become the sovereign of the Shadow School one day, I must set against the Ghost Sect.”
After saying that, Song Yuan hedges and shakes his head. “Actually, to be precise, the Shadow School is not on good terms with the Ghost Sect now. Very few cultivation schools or ancient martial arts families in the field of immortal cultivation like the Ghost Sect but generally, very few cultivators would like to mess with them. As a saying goes, the good must stay away from the evil! The people of the Ghost Sect are just rubbish. We can’t do anything about them but they just have more and more disgusting means.”
Gao Ge laughs.
Gao Ge agrees with Song Yuan very much.
He holds the same opinion about the Ghost Sect.
“If I really become the sovereign of the Shadow School, I must find a chance to make trouble for them,” Song Yuan says seriously. His words are uttered from the bottom of his heart but not to fawn on Gao Ge.
If he really wants to fawn on Gao Ge, he won’t adopt such a low move. Gao Ge is not a fool.
“If you want to become the sovereign of the Shadow School, I guess you will need quite some years?” Gao Ge asks.
Song Yuan grins with embarrassment, “That’s true. My dad is quite healthy now.”
“So, when you become the sovereign of the Shadow School, maybe the Ghost Sect will be exterminated by then.”
Although he doesn’t understand why Gao Ge is so confident, Song Yuan is not doubtful at all.
…
In the cave.
Zhang Ning scurries back.
“We are in trouble now!”
“What? Was our master captured by the monster?” It can tell that the junior fellow disciple seems to be in a good mood. He tells a joke with Zhang Ning.
Upon seeing Zhang Ning’s stern face and his eyes full of deep fear, the junior fellow disciple frowns.
“Tell me. Who has come to Zhaojiagou?”
“One of them is Gao Ge…” Zhang Ning says.
Gao Ge has a deep grudge against the Ghost Sect so as a disciple of the Ghost Sect, he can immediately recognize this opponent only by a glance from the distance.
Zhang Ning finds that when he mentions Gao Ge, the junior fellow disciple’s killing intent just gets richer.
“It’s him? How come he is here? Crap! Why does he come to Zhaojiagou?” Evidently, the junior fellow disciple is very angry and anxious, just like the creature in the lake.
“How about avoiding him for now?” Zhang Ning ventures to ask.
The junior fellow disciple suddenly raises his head and says with a sinister grin, “Run? This is the moment I’m waiting for! Humph! This had nothing to do with him actually but he interferes recklessly. In this case, I may as well let him die here then!”
After saying that, he trots out of the cave. With a complicated look, Zhang Ning still follows him.
“Take a detour to Zhaojiagou and kill as many people as you can,” the junior fellow disciple says sinisterly.
“Kill the villagers of Zhaojiagou?” Zhang Ning is taken aback.
“Yeah. Doesn’t he like doing justice for people? Just let the villagers die for him then,” the junior fellow disciple says with a malicious look.
Zhang Ning is a bit hesitant.
“Do you want to court death?”
“No, I’m on it right now…” Zhang Ning stops hesitating immediately.
