"Then we will kill each one of them," Lin Fan said coldly, leaving MingYue speechless.
She wanted to ask Lin Fan where she got her confidence to face the entire Yang Clan even though she didn't know their real power.
MingYue suspected they had a cultivator at the Mystic Integration stage. But before she could say anything, Rook's laughter rang out, drawing their attention.
"KAKaka, I like your confidence, Lin, but you shouldn't underestimate our enemy so much. I should have told you the truth about our clan."
Rook then raised his bony finger, touching it toward Lin Fan's forehead.
A glow then came out from the finger as he started pouring his energy into Lin Fan.
Feeling many pieces of information entering her mind, Lin Fan closed her eyes. She felt it was just a normal transfer, but MingYue could see more.
With puzzled eyes, she asked, "Why are you sending her everything?"
"Everything?" Rook asked as he started to look at MingYue.
His eyes flickered once more, and then loud laughter came from him again. "To think we have a vampire with us. Young lady, you should think more before you speak."
MingYue's brow furrowed together. "How could you know?"
"As far as I know, your race is the only one that can see the life force. Everyone else other than you would think this is just a normal transfer of knowledge."
"I see... so can you tell me why you decided to do this? You should still have a lot of time left in life."
"A lot? Kakaka, young lady, I am already dead," Rook said with a chuckle but then turned serious.
"Well, joke aside, there are many reasons, for one, your appearance here. It's been so long since I heard anything related to other planets and Progenitors; this means it's just a matter of time until we are found.
There's also Lin Fan's situation, and finally, the clan's current predicament."
"I could understand the current predicament, but what do you mean by Lin Fan's situation?"
"That, young lady, is for her to tell; after all, it's a problem for the living, Kakaka." His glowing finger stopped, and Lin Fan's body fell to the ground as she became unconscious.
He then stood up, turning his gaze some distance away. "I could feel they were coming. As I thought, we cannot believe her. Young lady, how about we make a deal?"
"What deal?" MingYue asked.
Meanwhile, near the village, a giant frog with green skin was leaping on the ground, creating an earthquake every time it landed; it was the celestial beast's real form.
Yang Fei was flying beside her. Despite his newfound power, he didn't feel excited at all. He had found the sword on one of his adventures and quickly knew what it was, as Greed started enticing him to use its power.
The temptation was big, but he held himself.
The reason was not that he didn't want it; he knew there would be no going back. After this, he would need to become a pure demonic cultivator, walking a path of even more carnage, as his own family would disown him when they found out.
Despite how he acted, Yang Fei loved his clan. People that he wanted to protect no matter what.
"Why are you still so gloomy, Yang Fei? You are the chosen one. Not anyone can gain my power. You should feel happy instead."
"Happy? My goal was to subdue these people and gain their treasure, but now I cannot do it because of you." Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Subdue these people? Kekeke, with my power recovering, we are unbeatable. Kill all of them, take their power, then take their treasure.
That is the real way of the cultivation world. Survival of the fittest. What is a gathering of ants? They have no use at all."
"You know why."
"Kekeke. Don't worry; your sister will be even safer as you become stronger. I won't make the same mistake as what happened in the past. And it's not like you have any other choice; it's better to erase all of them so we have no witness at all."
It's not a witness of him being a demonic cultivator, but all the witnesses of the incident.
Yang Fei still didn't know what made-up reason he could make for what happened, how two Golden Core cultivators died, but he survived. But no matter what it is, for now, he has already decided that taking out this village and its treasure would be the first step.
The ground kept vibrating as people in Blue Cloud Village started seeing a big silhouette coming toward them.
Feeling the presence of the celestial beast, the elder started giving out orders to evacuate those who could not fight or were too weak.
Feeling many teleportations happening made Greed complain, "So this is why you decided to use your real form. You don't even cast your mystical fog to disturb them."
"What you need are the strong ones. Just let those weaklings run away."
Yang Fei frowned because this was not what he had planned. He didn't want anyone to survive in the area. He then sprinted toward the village, starting his massacre.
The array protecting the wall started doing its effect, creating illusions. But it was useless; even if it was able to trap Yang Fei, it could not trap Greed.
Greed directly sent his senses toward Yang Fei, allowing him to destroy part of the wall.
Bam! The sword pierced through the wall like cutting through butter.
Many cultivators fell down, along with their puppets. But as veterans, they didn't falter; they moved their puppets to surround Yang Fei.
The puppet bodies were modified, with many mechanisms; some were focused on long-distance attacks while others were on melee combat.
They started moving in formation, creating many attacks toward Yang Fei.
Swosh! Swosh!
Barrages of needles and daggers started coming toward him, some targeting the surrounding area, creating a mess of sharp wires to limit his movement.
Some of the puppets also started throwing punches and kicks at Yang Fei. Each hit was executing their secret techniques, infusing them with Qi.
