Successor Goddess of Death (Series 2)
91. Elder Zhong
They flew to the cold and desolate mountain peak, a sinister aura enveloping this place but Lin Cong Zi looked ordinary.
"Don't be afraid, this is just because of one of my teacher's habits. He did not like many people so he made this illusion of aura so that people would not approach this place unless there was some important business. " Kta Lin Cong Zi explained.
He nodded in understanding, it was indeed very troublesome if there were some people who had come to seek attention.
So, it was no wonder that Elder Zhong put up something of this kind. He walked in, following Lin Cong Zi's footsteps.
Tok Tok Tok
Lin Cong Zi slowly knocked on the door of a very simple wooden house.
"Lake in." Answer the hoarse voice from within.
"Teacher, this disciple saluted the teacher and disciple not alone this time, but rather together with Xue Fenghuang. " Said Lin Cong Zi kneeling behind the skinny old man's back once and leaving only the skin-clad bones in addition to the unkempt long black hair.
"Greetings to Elder Zhong, I am Xue Fenghuang and hearing that the Elder invited me here, it is a great honor for me to be here. " His speech went along kneeling next to Lin Cong Zi.
"Xue Fenghuang huh ? I've heard so many things about you, you really managed to attract my attention. " Elder Zhong said before turning around.
He remained calm despite seeing Elder Zhong's hideous face, large eye bags, dry lips and crooked nose.
It was no wonder that said Lin Cong Zi another disciple disciple would scream and cry when he saw Elder Zhong's face.
"It's nice to be able to attract Elder Zhong's attention. " Talk her while smiling thinly as if not disturbed by the old man's face.
"You're not the same as everyone else, you have an incredible calm. I have heard that you refused to enter the Poison Faction because you wanted to return the favor to Ouyang Si Niang. I won't mind that, just that this old me really can't see your talent in the field of poison lying dormant in vain just because you're in the wrong Faction. Therefore, I want you to come here and exchange ideas with you. You two stand up. " said Elder Zhong.
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to brainstorm with the Elder. " His voice cupped his hands in front of his chest.
They also discussed various kinds of poison discovery within a few hours, 3 people had managed to find one poison that was very deadly.
"I think it's a good thing to fight someone stronger, it's better to be a secret weapon and that way we'll probably win the game this time. " His words with enthusiasm are not aware that he is being talked about by others.
On the other hand, the place was very dark and only used a torch as its light source. Two men, one young and one middle-aged.
"What about his development ?" Ask the middle-aged man.
"He ? Good. His strength increased very quickly, only he had such a merciless nature as 'that man' predicted" said the young man.
"Huft, I'll have to tell her anything later. I hope he doesn't hate me like An Liu. " Said the middle-aged man with a sigh.
"Aren't you going to tell her the truth ?" The young man asked in surprise.
"Whatever he must know that the source of his suffering all along comes from my doubts about him, I will not refuse if he will go and die for me. It's just, relieved his sense if he can say what has been buried for dozens of years. " Said the middle-aged man sighing.
He lost his wife and two children. No one knew what the middle-aged man meant except for his younger brother.
Once this secret was revealed then it would be the worst day for Xue Fenghuang, where blood would flow and her nightmares became a reality.
The words of the woman behind the snowstorm would come true, Xue Fenghuang would lose herself and become a killing tool.
It was a terrible day but it was also the most awaited and unavoidable day.
Xue Fenghuang who did not know all that continued her poison making event with her two others.
Somehow he felt his feelings turn out to be unpleasant, as if his heart was broken and something stifling was approaching him.
He felt uncomfortable and saw that it was late in the afternoon outside.
"Chairman Zhong, Sister Lin, it's already afternoon. I have to practice cultivation, I will come here again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. "His speech stood up and saluted before flying away.
He got to the courtyard of his residence just in time before sitting on the grass while clutching his chest that felt tight.
He could not breathe, as if the oxygen in this world had all disappeared. She had experienced this once when she was about to die before her.
The day before she was shot, she smashed around her because she couldn't breathe. He felt his entire body almost crushed, his hands still shrinking his chest firmly.
In a moment of hurt like this, her tears could not drip at all. He didn't have the impingement to feel the same pain.
The view back to a place filled with snow and blizzards.
"This is just the beginning, you will feel that this is the worst life that makes you regret having killed so many people. " Said the woman's voice.
"Your body will turn out to be very bad and nightmares will come true, hell creatures crawl out to pull you along with them. " Said the voice behind the snowstorm.
"I now understand what you mean, you must want to punish me because I kill people a lot, right ? Then I'll show you what it means to kill. " Speak it with breath gasping for breath.
"I waited for that moment, you can do it if you deserve it. " Say the woman behind the snow indifferently.
He clenched his hands tightly and even made them bleed. His blood soaked the snow white, clean and beautiful.
His black blood seemed to be a huge stain on that white snow.
