Chapter 191: Rage, Resentment, and Human Sacrifice
"Tell me, where did Yu'er die, and how did he die? Tell me everything clearly, otherwise, I will make all of you go down and be buried with Yu'er!"
In the hall of Zheng's mansion, the old woman exuded a suffocating cold aura as she stared at the kneeling guards.
His lips, as hard as old tree bark, uttered words one by one.
Although the guards felt a chill in their hearts, they still trembled and told what they knew.
“The body of the Second Young Master was found in a village outside the city called Yuanyang Village.
Yesterday, we followed the Second Young Master out of the city. Before we arrived at a mountain stronghold, the Second Young Master found an excuse to send us away and asked us to wait for him at the foot of the mountain.
He only brought Commander Yang with him into the mountain stronghold.
That mountain stronghold is called Yuanyang Stronghold, and it is a place where people can have fun and have fun..."
When the guard said this, the old woman suddenly shouted, "Nonsense! Yu'er is usually so well-behaved and sensible, how could she go to such a dirty place!"
The guard was so frightened that he fell silent. He dared not say anything more, and he lowered himself to the ground, shaking even more violently.
"Mother." The head of the Zheng family said softly.
The old woman snorted coldly: "Keep talking!"
"Yes, ancestor."
The guard was startled and could only choose his words more carefully.
"Not long after the Second Young Master entered the mountain stronghold, we heard a chaotic noise coming from the mountain, and many people fled from the mountain stronghold in panic.
Feeling something was wrong, he rushed to the mountain stronghold, only to find that it was littered with corpses. Many people had died, and they were all martial arts masters.
Even the Second Young Master and Commander Yang were unfortunately killed.
Commander Yang's fine iron shield was smashed by a palm strike, his bones were broken, and his forehead was pierced, and he died. "
At this point, the guard's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Commander Yang is a very powerful person. He is a martial arts expert who has achieved a small level of success in the inner realm. He is extremely skilled in the use of swords and shields.
Even an ordinary martial artist who has reached the peak of the internal organs realm may not be able to do anything to him.
But even such a powerful Commander Yang ended up with his shield broken and his life killed. It is hard to imagine how terrible the person who did it was.
"In other words, as Yu'er's guards, you didn't even see the murderer who killed Yu'er?" the old woman said lightly.
The guard was shocked and said quickly, "Reporting to the ancestor, although we failed to catch the murderer, after we found the young master's body, we immediately arrested a group of people who wanted to escape from the village and interrogated them.
From them, we learned that the person who killed the second young master was a man in black wearing a nightgown.
This man was extremely powerful and looked like a ghost. He killed all the people in Yuanyang Village by himself.
More importantly, we learned from some guests that the man in black kept saying that Yuanyang Village was actually a stronghold of Qisha Tower.
He came to kill people this time just to avenge the Seven Killings Tower, so he didn't kill those guests!"
"What did you say, Qishalou, are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?!"
The head of the Zheng family was shocked and asked quickly.
Even the old woman's expression became serious, with a gleam in her eyes.
"I swear I did not hear it wrong. We interrogated more than ten people in a row, and they all said the same thing!" the guard said anxiously.
"Has the Seven Killings Building already set up a base here?"
The head of the Zheng family looked solemn.
This terrifying sect that controls most of the power in the killer world, hasn't its influence always been in Zhongzhou? When did it become interested in their remote small state like Cangzhou?
What surprised him even more was that there were actually people who dared to touch the Seven Killings Tower and destroy this stronghold in such a high-profile manner.
What is this person's background and what is his purpose?
For a moment, the head of the Zheng family keenly smelled something unusual.
The old woman also had many thoughts in her mind.
But all this still cannot compare to the pain of losing her grandson.
"Since you said that the man's target was the Seven Killings Tower, then why did he want to kill my Yu'er?"
The old woman's eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and she stared at the guard closely: "Tell me, what is going on? Are you lying?"
"It's unfair, ancestor. Everything I said is true. I don't dare to lie to you." The guard immediately cried out in injustice.
"Then tell me, why did the man in black want to kill Yu'er? Isn't Yu'er a guest?"
"That's because, because..."
The guard hesitated and didn't dare to say anything.
"Why? Tell me, or I'll kill you with one blow!" the old woman said sternly.
“I also learned this from a guest. The guest said that when the Second Young Master and Commander Yang were killed, he was hiding in a corner of the building.
He heard with his own ears that the man in black said that the reason for killing the Second Young Master was to seek justice for the prostitutes in the brothels who were abused and tortured to death by the Second Young Master..."
“Asshole!!!”
Before the guard could finish his words, the old woman could no longer bear it and the steel dragon-headed cane in her hand suddenly rose up and slammed into the guard's chest.
The guard had no power to defend himself after being hit so hard. With the sound of broken bones, his body flew backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.
His chest was sunken and it looked as if he was dying.
"How can a mere whore in a brothel compare to my Yu'er? Even if there were a thousand or ten thousand of them, they would not be as good as even a hair of my Yu'er!
You shameless thief, how dare you humiliate Yu'er and our Zheng family like this? No matter who you are, I will find you, torture you to death, and cut you into pieces!"
After blasting a guard away, the old woman's anger did not subside at all. Her face was full of hostility and she spoke word by word with great resentment.
The terrifying aura emanating from his body not only made it difficult for everyone in the hall to breathe, but also caused them to rush out of the mansion, alarming those outside.
Seeing that the old ancestor was getting angry, several kneeling guards trembled even more, their legs and feet became weak, they could hardly stand and collapsed to the ground.
However, even so, the old woman still had no intention of sparing them.
"And you, I told you to protect Yu'er, but you deserted your posts. Not only do you deserve to die, but even your families will be buried with Yu'er!"
The guards were shocked when they heard this and were about to beg for mercy, but they saw the old woman's dragon-headed cane tapping on their heart meridians one after another.
Suddenly, several kneeling guards trembled, their eyes became unfocused, and they collapsed to the ground, completely dead.
There was still a look of fear on his face as he was about to die.
The smell of blood filled the air, and for a moment, everyone in the hall turned pale and bloodless.
After a long time, the head of the Zheng family came forward and supported the old woman.
"Mother, the dead cannot be resurrected. You are not in good health, so you should take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I'm not going to die yet." The old woman said coldly, "Please have someone prepare the best coffin. I want to keep Yu'er's body well. Also, these deposed officials didn't protect Yu'er well. It would be a good thing for them to die now.
Go and bring their families here. I want them all to be buried with Yu'er!"
"Mother!" The head of the Zheng family was shocked. "Sacrificing a living person is a taboo. It is strictly prohibited in the capital and the Holy Mountain!"
"Humph, who said I want to sacrifice myself? As long as a person dies and is buried, it doesn't count as a living sacrifice, right? Yu'er died such a miserable death, he lost his father when he was young, and he doesn't know how to survive in the underworld, alone and helpless. Isn't it right for me to send more people down to serve him?"
"But mother..."
Patriarch Zheng was still waiting to say something.
But the old woman was already staring at him: "Why, do you think that since your elder brother died early, there is no one to make decisions for Yu'er, and you even want to disobey my orders?"
Looking at his mother's eyes, the head of the Zheng family felt a chill in his heart.
I can only say: "I don't dare, I will go and arrange it for you, mother."
