CH 17

"Who!! Who is it!!!" A violent roar echoed throughout the cave. It was Danyang Zi's voice, and it was the first time he had been so enraged.

When someone had escaped earlier, Danyang Zi had not been angry. When Li Huowang had unintentionally offended him with his words, he had not been angry either. But he was angry now.

The atmosphere in the entire Qingfeng Temple became extremely oppressive, and even the oil lamps hanging on the walls felt much dimmer than usual.

Under Danyang Zi's orders, everyone gradually arrived at the main hall for morning class.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and the messy corpses on the ground proved that Danyang Zi had poured his pent-up anger onto some innocent people.

Killing could make him feel a little better, but it was not enough. Not nearly enough.

"A thud~" A mass of bloody flesh and brain matter suddenly fell in front of everyone.

It was the vase that Li Huowang had previously broken with his head. Death had made her blush irrelevant and her lifeless eyes showed deep fear.

"Who did this? Who snuck into my room while I was refining pills?" Danyang Zi's voice was now low and suppressed, like a lion on the verge of eruption. "Come out now and I'll give you a quick death. If I catch you later, hmph! I'll make you kneel and beg me to kill you!"

The entire cave was silent, and no one dared to move, whether they were medicine boys, disciples, or novices.

"Fine! No one's talking? Then I'll ask one by one! Changming, Changren, what were you two doing when I was refining pills earlier?"

The two disciples with swords on their backs immediately saluted Danyang Zi. "Reporting to Master, we followed your orders and guarded the gate of Qingfeng Temple without any delay!"

Danyang Zi walked up to them expressionlessly and scrutinized their expressions. After staring at them until they were about to break out in cold sweat, he finally turned to the side. "Xuan Yuan! What about you?"

Li Huowang, who was standing next to Xuan Yuan at the time, felt a sudden tightness in his chest. He knew it was his turn next and quickly encouraged himself in his mind to hold on! As long as he didn't reveal any flaws, he would win!

"Xuan Yang! It's your turn now. Where did you go after you finished delivering the medicine today?"

At the moment he heard these words, Li Huowang blurted out, "I was in the ingredient room, preparing the ingredients Master needs for the next time."

"Is that so?" Danyang Zi walked over, and his nauseating stench and suffocating pressure made Li Huowang's body tense to the extreme. He finally understood why the other senior brothers had sweated so much earlier.

Time passed by second by second, and under the intense pressure, the sweat on Li Huowang's forehead grew more and more.

Suddenly, his body lightened. Just when he thought he had escaped, Danyang Zi's voice rang out again. "Did you all really see Xuan Yang in the ingredient room? Think carefully before you answer. Whoever can help me find out who did this, I'll not only send them home, but also give them a reward."As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining dozen or so disabled people in the room widened their eyes. They wanted to go home, and even in their dreams, they wanted to leave this haunted place.

"Master... Li Shixiong was indeed with us at the time..." Bai Lingmiao, who felt the people's hearts were shaking, spoke up first.

Danyang Zi deeply looked at her face, "Oh? What about the others?"

At this moment, Gou Dan took a deep breath, struggled with his expression, and finally stood up with a gritted teeth. "Um, Immortal Grandpa, I'll say it! Xuan Yang, that guy, I didn't come to the pantry at all today! It must be him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Yin, who was scared and pale in the crowd, had a slight smile on his face and almost laughed out loud. He had saved his own life.

Danyang Zi turned his head to look at Li Huowang and slowly walked to Gou Dan's side. With a slap of his right hand, he directly slapped him on the face. "Nonsense! Xuan Yang personally delivered the medicine this morning! Where else did he get the medicine from the pantry? Do you want to die?"

Gou Dan was frightened and knelt on the ground, tears and snot streaming down his face as he kept kowtowing. "Immortal Grandpa, I was wrong. I was temporarily blinded by greed. I lied."

Danyang Zi looked expressionlessly at Gou Dan on the ground, and then suddenly turned to Xuan Yin. "What are you laughing at? Are you happy that Xuan Yang was falsely accused?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Yin was so scared that his body trembled, and the strong pressure from Danyang Zi made him almost unable to breathe.

As Danyang Zi slowly walked towards him, Xuan Yin's expression became more and more panicked. He was so panicked that even those who didn't know the truth beside him could tell that something was wrong.

Just as Danyang Zi walked in front of him, Xuan Yin couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed on the ground. Yellow urine slowly seeped out from under his robe. "Master! I didn't want to do this! It was Zheng Kun who forced me to do it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zheng Kun's expression twisted, and he dashed towards the entrance like a cheetah, leaving behind an afterimage.

"It was you after all!" Danyang Zi coldly snorted. With a wave of his robe, a copper coin with a green patina rolled and fell to the ground, spinning like a top.

Just as Zheng Kun was about to escape from the entrance, Danyang Zi lifted his right foot, kicked up a cloud of dust, and with a "crack," the entire copper coin instantly shattered into five pieces, splattering Zheng Kun.

His limbs were torn apart as if he had been quartered, but the bloodied Zheng Kun was still alive, wriggling towards the door like a maggot.

"Kid, you've been with me the longest. Why did it have to be you? I should have thought of it earlier. The prohibition in my room can also be broken by you." Danyang Zi's grim foot stepped on Zheng Kun's head, stopping him from moving.

"Master... I was wrong. I'm already a useless person now. Please spare me this time!"

"Master, when those monks from the Zhengde Temple were chasing us, it was my two younger brothers who sacrificed their lives to let us escape! Master!"Danyang Zi's foot moved slightly, pressing Zheng Kun's purple face directly onto the ground, making him completely unable to speak.

"Child, do you know? Whatever you're thinking, this Dao Master knows it all. You and your two brothers are all ungrateful wretches!!" Danyang Zi said each word deliberately, increasing the pressure with his foot.

"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud explosion, a drop of viscous blood splashed onto Li Huowang's face.
