77 Meeting the Murderer!
At that time, he was just angry and said those words out of anger, and now, it was impossible for him to apologize.
Another three jugs were down his stomach.
“Brother Bai, can I sit down and have a drink?”
“Get out!”
Bai Yusheng didn’t even look. However, that person still sat opposite Bai Yusheng.
Bai Yusheng looked up, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes. The other party turned out to be Li Bowu of the Changshan Dojo.
Ever since Sun Yuanshan had been attacked, the two dojos had been enemies. Why was this person trying to talk to him at such a critical time?
“I heard your father bypassed you and gave the secret treasure to Reihom, who has no blood relation with you. In a fit of anger, you want to fight for first place in the grand martial competition?” Li Bowu smiled.
Bai Yusheng’s eyes flashed with killing intent. “You better have something to tell me, or else you can forget about walking out of this restaurant.”
Li Bowu didn’t think much of it. “But looking at Brother Bai’s current situation, it seems you haven’t found a way yet, right?”
Hu!
An arc of lightning streaked across the narrow room. At the same time, the wind whistled, rustling the bead curtains.
The two exchanged a palm across the table and were evenly matched.
“You’ve reached fourth refinement?!” Bai Yusheng’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He remembered that this person was twenty-three years old when he broke through to the third refinement. It took him three years. Now, only two years have passed. How could he have broken through to the fourth refinement?
“So, Brother Bai, are you interested in listening to me now?” Li Bowu’s expression was calm.
“It was I who lost control of myself just now. I’ll take a cup of wine and apologize to Brother Li!” Bai Yusheng’s attitude took a 180-degree turn.
The wine was gone in one gulp.
Li Bowu looked at Bai Yusheng and sighed. “You and I are both in the same boat. Brother Bai is not valued by your father, and I am not valued by my master. That master of mine even completely ignored me, the 19th on the eight martial roll. He didn’t even tell me about the grand martial competition!”
He smashed the table with hatred. “These people look down on us and think that we won’t succeed in the grand martial competition. We’ll prove to them who’s the real genius!”
Li Bowu’s words were intense, which made Bai Yusheng recall the past, and he became angrier.
“Brother Li, please tell me what to do.” Bai Yusheng was already getting impatient.
“There are too many people here, Brother Bai. Let’s meet outside the city.” Li Bowu got up and left first.
After a few moments, Bai Yusheng paid the bill and quietly left the city.
…
It was late autumn and close to winter, and the frost fell like white sorrow.
The mountain forest was becoming more and more deserted and strange. Every few miles they walked, they would encounter a frozen corpse on the side of the road.
“Brother Li, where are you going?” Bai Yusheng followed Li Bowu into the deep mountains, and couldn’t help but be vigilant.
“I’m going to see that otherworldly expert! I was able to break through to the fourth refinement so quickly all because of the guidance of that master.” Li Bowu knew what Bai Yusheng wanted.
Hearing this, Bai Yusheng’s suspicions were instantly thrown to the back of his mind. “I wonder what method Brother Li has in mind? Can you reveal a little to me first?”
“We’re almost there.”
The two of them finally stopped in front of a wooden house in the forest.
An elegant man with shoulder-length hair was sitting by the fire. He stretched out his slender and fair hands to warm the fire elegantly while eating.
That kind of happy and content appearance was the complete opposite of the cold late autumn. And especially that aura, Bai Yusheng had only seen it on his father and the heads.
It was an expert! He was definitely an expert!
Bai Yusheng excitedly walked over to the man. However, when he got closer, the smile on his face froze. He clearly saw the food in the man’s hand… It was not a lamb leg, but a human leg!
The Sacred Heart sect!
This name immediately appeared in Bai Yusheng’s mind.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Young Master Bai.” The man stood up and waved at Bai Yusheng with a smile.
Bai Yusheng subconsciously wanted to run. Eating people? What a joke. Which normal person would do such a thing?
Pa!
Li Bowu’s big hand suddenly landed on Bai Yusheng’s shoulder. “Brother Bai, don’t you want to get the approval of Master Bai? Don’t you want to see your father’s stunned expression and long-awaited appreciation when you pull Reihom down from the top?”
He had accurately grasped Bai Yusheng’s weakness and obsession.
“With your aptitude, if you don’t rely on the Sacred Heart sect, you’re destined to be trampled under Reihom’s feet for the rest of your life!”
A devil-like whisper sounded in his ears. Bai Yusheng’s originally determined heart began to waver.
Creak…
In the end, he took his first step toward the man with a gentle smile.
…
Two days later, in the city lord’s mansion.
Commander Sun Tong accompanied Qin Huai as they stood at the door of the archives room.
“Master Qin, you’ve transferred all the copied scrolls of the Sacred Heart sect from Jiang county over. The city lord is out of the city to patrol the terrain today, so he can’t accompany you. You can take your time to look around.”
“Many thanks, Commander Sun.” Qin Huai nodded and took a silver and copper token. He then walked into the scroll room eagerly.
He walked straight to the side of the Sacred Heart sect. There were only three scrolls.
He pulled out the first scroll.
“Sacred Heart sect. The sect master is unknown. The sect was founded in the second year of Guanghe, Jinxing county…”
They were all trivial matters of the Sacred Heart sect.
Qin Huai took out the second volume.
“The Sacred Heart sect cultivates the blood heart technique and uses ‘blood food’ as a form of cultivation. It’s an evil path to advance rapidly…”
The second volume also described how brutal the blood heart technique was, as well as its battle records in Jinxing county. And this Jinxing county no longer existed.
Qin Huai opened the third volume.
“In the ninth year of Guanghe, a large number of disciples of the ten-thousand-man sect mysteriously disappeared. At the same time, an outer sect disciple of the sect, Han Zun, who had been silent for five years, suddenly rose. In just three short years, he has become a core disciple.”
“His cultivation is a thousand miles a day, and his progress is divine. However, as his status became higher and higher, the number of tragic deaths of his sect disciples increased…”
“In the 17th year of Guanghe, the sect master of Mount Li sect changed to Han Zun, and there were only 173 disciples left…”
“In the 19th year of Guanghe, Han Zun was besieged by the imperial court. He personally admitted that all the disciples in the sect were killed by him and became the nourishment for his mountain splitting mantra…”
The recording came to an abrupt end. At the end of the three volumes, there was a long string of white space, and at the end, the word “God” was written.
It seemed to be a history from decades ago, and it was irrelevant. However, Qin Huai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, especially during the last part of the third volume.
“The disciples of the Mount Li sect became Han Zun’s food, which allowed the originally unknown Han Zun to cultivate the mountain splitting mantra at such a rapid speed? In other words, the Sacred Heart sect’s method of cannibalism is not limited to the blood heart technique!”
At this moment, Li Bowu’s figure immediately popped up in Qin Huai’s mind!
