Hurriedly looking down, he discovered that the special talisman in his hand was actually bursting into flames!
It!
Caught fire!
Hu Dafu knew he should throw the talisman away, doing so would keep it from burning his palm... but he was even clearer on the fact that if he threw this talisman away, he would be doomed.
He had seen, clear as day, the vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts, staring at him with covetous eyes!
Once the golden light surrounding him vanished,
he would undoubtedly be torn to shreds!
He panicked!
He wimped out!
Hu Dafu could no longer hold it together and began to shout hysterically, "Wrong! I was wrong! I was so wrong! Taoist Priest! Sir Taoist Priest! Grandfather Taoist Priest! I was wrong! I beg you, please don’t mess around!!"
Snot and tears flowed from him in fear as he pleaded, "I’m a beast! When I was young, I was inhumane! I... I was blinded by greed! No! That’s not it! I was led astray!"
"I... I once went grave-robbing with others and came across a strange tomb. There were no bones inside the coffin, only several scriptures and some talismans!"
"The others and I split the scriptures and talismans between us... among them... the scripture I got was called the ’Cultivating People Manual’!"
"It was full of techniques for harvesting and cutting life, and that scripture even clearly stated that ordinary people without any mana could use the methods recorded within to harvest and cut life!"
"But... the subjects for harvesting and cutting must be people with a certain familial relationship to oneself. I was born in Guyue Village, and the villagers there more or less had some kinship with me."
"So... I began to scheme how to use them. I had people cut off the village’s water source. They suffered famine, and then I lured them with food and money."
"In the end, I caused the deaths of all of them..."
"It’s my fault!"
"I’m a beast!"
"I was wrong! I was really wrong! Grandfather Taoist Priest, my fellow villagers! I was wrong! Grandfather Taoist Priest... spirits, spare me! I have old parents and young children at home!"
Watching helplessly as the talisman in his hand had already burned more than half, watching the golden light emanating from the talisman growing dimmer, seeing more and more cracks appearing on the golden light.
With snot and tears, he said, "I can even turn in my fellow grave robbers!"
"One of them acquired a Mystical Face-Changing Technique, and we worked together to kill a magistrate and let him take the magistrate’s place."
"Another learnt some techniques for cultivating the Tao and established a Taoist Temple in the county town. He once asked me and another who had replaced the magistrate to help him bring down another Taoist Temple!"
"The last one... The last one was insatiable and wanted more; he was killed by the three of us working together ten years ago."
In extreme fear and hysteria, Hu Dafu ended up spilling all his darkest secrets.
Yun Jiuqing’s eyes grew wider and wider as she listened.
She thought that only great families like the Fu Clan of the Prefecture would be eligible to commit acts so dark as to be nauseating.
She never imagined that a few mere tomb raiders, because they got their hands on several scriptures and some talismans, could also do such atrocious deeds.
It was indescribably abominable!
Shared by both gods and men!
"Oh?" Initially, Fan Wu had not been very interested in what Hu Dafu was saying, but as soon as he mentioned he had a few accomplices, including one who seemed to be a cultivator,
Fan Wu became a little intrigued, "That cultivator who practiced Taoist magic, roughly how capable is he?"
Hu Dafu swallowed nervously, "He’s... he’s very... very powerful! He can extract the soul from someone on the brink of death and then turn that soul into an evil ghost! We once gathered, and he openly admitted that he has obtained an additional life span of one hundred fifty years through that scripture of Taoist magic!"
"He’s fifty years old this year, which means if nothing unexpected occurs, he can definitely live past two hundred years!"
"Oh," Fan Wu instantly lost interest.
This thing, just by listening...
is not as good as a single Underworld evil ghost.
He grew bored.
Looking at the faltering golden light, Fan Wu, with a mischievous sense of glee and a hideous smile on his face, clenched an empty fist, and under Hu Dafu’s horrified gaze, Fan Wu gently tapped once more.
Bang!!!
The golden light.
Shattered!
The talisman in Hu Dafu’s hand also burned up at that moment, turning into ashes that he couldn’t even clutch onto.
He was stunned.
As he saw the talisman that kept the spirits of Guyue Village at bay finally vanish, hundreds of vengeful spirits from the village surged towards the utterly terrified Hu Dafu.
"Don’t! Don’t come over here! Aghhhhh!!"
The terrified screams of Hu Dafu made all the Escort Masters and drivers feel a chill to their bones, and they couldn’t help but shudder.
Watching the overwhelming and surging spirits, they were scared to keep backing away several steps.
Not daring to come within ten steps of Hu Dafu.
To avoid getting caught in the aftermath.
And the scene before them was truly too brutal; they could see just how intense the resentment of these vengeful spirits was.
