Chapter 98 Dead...They are all dead
Seeing her curiosity, Meng Po explained, "This Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts doesn't mean there are 10,000 ghosts inside. It means that even if 10,000 ghosts go there, not even a complete ghost can come back. If this is the case for ghosts, then even a human soul cannot be left behind."
Qin Yunieyan's eyes widened in shock. She gasped and looked at Meng Po in disbelief, stammering, "Is this Ten Thousand Ghosts Cliff... so terrifying?"
Meng Po looked at her with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes, and said slowly: "It is rumored that Taotie is imprisoned in there. Anyone who goes down from the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts will be eaten. However, this is just a rumor, and no one has seen it with their own eyes."
Hearing this, a huge and ferocious figure emerged in Qin Yunie's mind, and a chill surged in his heart.
“Taotaotie?” She stammered as she repeated the name, her eyes filled with shock and fear.
The Taotie, one of the four ferocious beasts in mythology?
Qin Yunie felt like her brain was almost unable to function.
Is Wangui Cliff related to Taotie?
If so...
It seems that if I were thrown down, there wouldn't be any trace of my body left...
Meng Po nodded, confirming her guess, "It's the Taotie you were thinking of."
Qin Yunie widened his eyes and asked the question in his mind, "But why is Taotie imprisoned here?"
Meng Po smiled and explained, "Because Taotie can devour everything, including gods. And there is miasma under the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Imprisoning it under the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts can prevent it from causing greater harm to the world."
The more Qin Yunie listened, the more he felt that it was just a theft, was it necessary to send it to Wangui Cliff?
However, Meng Po was not a person who acted recklessly. Since Meng Po said so, she must have her reasons, so she remained silent.
When the thief heard that there was an ancient ferocious beast Taotie hidden under the Cliff of Wangui, he became even more panicked. He quickly raised his eyes to look at Qin Yunie, and when he saw that Qin Yunie didn't say anything, he thought she agreed to send him to the Cliff of Wangui, and this time he was really scared and cried.
He kowtowed to Qin Yunie and Meng Po repeatedly, his tone was filled with extreme fear, and was much more sincere than before, "My Lord, please don't send me to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts. As long as you don't let me go to the Cliff of Ten Thousand Ghosts, I will do anything for you."
Meng Po raised her eyelids and looked at him tz.B, "Don't want to go? You'll do anything I ask you to do? Then tell me everything you know."
The thief stiffened when he heard this, "Sir, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Meng Po reminded impatiently: "My time is limited, and I don't have that much time to accompany you to make trouble. Since you don't understand, then go to Wangui Cliff and figure it out first."
After all, he still has a great fear of Wangui Cliff. He is torn between telling the truth that he might die and not telling the truth that he will definitely die if he throws himself off the Wangui Cliff.
So he said quickly: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
The thief closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "It's Master Li Changqing."
A hint of doubt flashed across Meng Po's beautiful eyes, "Who is Li Changqing? What is his purpose?"
He looked embarrassed and hesitated for a moment before answering, "He is the new leader of the Quanqing Sect. He asked me to find a young girl with a pure body like this sir to improve his skills."
Meng Po asked thoughtfully: "Where did he ask you to take them? Do you know his exact location?"
The thief shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "He only asked us to lead the people to a pavilion, and he would handle the rest."
Qin Yunie felt a chill all over her body. She originally thought it was just an ordinary theft, but she didn't expect that there was such a thing hidden behind it!
She couldn't imagine what would happen if she had chased after him just now and Meng Po was not there, and the newly bought talisman was also stolen. What would happen if it fell into the hands of that "adult"?
Meng Po continued to ask: "How many have you brought with you? Are they all girls like her?"
"More than a dozen." He paused, looking at Qin Yunie's expression, hesitant to speak, "This lord is the purest among them. That lord wants girls who have just taken the marrow cleansing pill and have pure bodies but no spiritual power."
"Just now, when I saw you two entering the Liuyin Inn, I actually hesitated whether to lead this master over, because there is an aura about her that scares me, and she is not traveling alone, so I am worried that something might go wrong. But she is too pure, and she is the one who can 100% meet the requirements of the master Xuanshi. If I take her over, the master will definitely be very happy, so I am waiting at the door for you to come out."
He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect..."
Meng Po frowned and asked, "Where are they now?"
He opened his mouth, his voice trembling, as if something was stuck in his throat, and uttered a few words with difficulty: "Dead... They are all dead."
Meng Po asked: "How do you know?"
He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but he still couldn't hide the fear in his heart.
His lips trembled as he recounted, "Once, out of curiosity, I did not leave after being led there. Instead, I quietly followed the adult to an underground storeroom. He had placed the bodies of the women in various strange positions and displayed them like exhibits. They were surrounded in a circle with a bright lamp in the middle. Each of them had a red string in their hands. The whole scene looked weird and mysterious, as if some kind of ritual was being held. But by then I was so frightened that I didn't dare to continue watching."
At the end of his speech, his face was as pale as paper and his whole body was shaking.
After hearing his words, Qin Yunie couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.
If she didn't have the self-defense amulet given by Meng Po and the jade pendant of the King of Hell, would she end up like those girls?
Thinking of this, Qin Yunie felt a little scared.
Meng Po did not notice her abnormality. Instead, she stared at the thief with sharp eyes and asked a few pointed questions at this time, "Since you said you went there once, how come you don't know the exact location? How did you follow a mysterious master to his secret base without being discovered?"
He opened his mouth, his voice a little hoarse, as if he was trying to restrain something, and slowly said: "It was because I happened to have an invisibility talisman in my hand at the time. The gentleman had set up a Bagua formation in that area. Perhaps he was extremely confident in himself and no one could break his formation, so he didn't notice that I followed him in. Afterwards, I also looked for it based on my memory, but to no avail."
Meng Po frowned when she heard this, with a hint of doubt and suspicion in her eyes, but she continued to ask: "Since you know that he did this kind of thing, why did you still help him?"
He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head with a trace of pain in his eyes, "Because, I have no choice. He put a drug in my body. If I don't take the antidote on time, my whole body will fester and the pain will be unbearable until my life is gone."
