Chapter 1510 - 1499: The Truth Revealed
"You crazy woman, stop it."Hu Da's face was filled with terror, he could already feel the Gu Insects chewing on his vital parts.
The body of a Martial Artist is tempered by True Qi, making it far more resilient than that of ordinary people.
But these Gu creatures aren't mere vegetarians; they're reputed to have iron teeth and copper jaws.
Hu Da growled uneasily, "Madwoman, what exactly do you want to know?"
Lin Mei said calmly, "No rush. Your body of iron skin and copper bones can hold out a little longer, speak up once you've made up your mind."
Hu Da's psychological defenses had already broken; Lin Mei wasn't eager to uncover the truth to prevent Hu Da from being vague.
"Lin Mei, you take your time playing with him. Remember, I only want the results."
After speaking, Ning Fan turned his head; if he continued watching, he would surely have nightmares.
After a few piercing screams, Hu Da finally started to break down, shouting, "What exactly do you want to know?"
Lin Mei said calmly, "Are you sure you've thought it through?"
"Make them stop, can't I just tell you?"
The stabbing pain reminded him that the venom had already broken through his skin.
"Young Master Ning, please make them stop first."
It was a simple task, Ning Fan, without turning back, transmitted his True Qi to immobilize these poisonous creatures.
"What's your name?"
"Hu Dawei."
"Did you commit the bloodshed at Mo Family Village?"
"Yes!"
...
"Lin Mei is truly talented in the art of inquisition."
Ning Fan secretly nodded in praise.
Lin Mei didn't start with the most important questions but instead took a progressive approach.
She mixed in some true and false questions with trivial matters.
Through the existing speculations, she verified whether Hu Dawei's answers were correct.
Of course, Hu Dawei wasn't that honest, making things clear as day.
Lin Mei indeed noticed that he lied in certain aspects and then unlocked the poison's restraint, allowing the creatures to feast.
As for the psychological trauma these venomous creatures caused Hu Dawei,
Ning Fan once glanced curiously at his howls, then turned his head away with a look of disgust.
The scene was too gruesome, instinctively etched out of his memory.
When Hu Dawei, on his last legs, begged for death, Lin Mei began reporting the intelligence.
Ning Fan's earlier suspicions were correct.
The old ancestor of the Hu Family, who had been closed in life-or-death seclusion for years, had broken through, officially reaching the Heavenly Gang Realm.
It was precisely because the Hu Family had this backing that they hastily launched an attack on the Corpse Herding Sect.
The matter of Lin Batian initiating the Corpse Refining into God was indeed leaked by the Great Elder.
The Great Elder had secretly made a deal with the Hu Family.
After killing Lin Batian, the Hu Family only wanted the Corpse Herding Sect's cultivation techniques, leaving the sect to the Great Elder and also promising him a Golden Armor Gu.
However, at that time, the old ancestor of the Hu Family had not emerged, lacking high-level combat power, the Hu Family could only watch as the grand formation activated, unable to do anything.
Of course, the Hu Family did not let the opportunity slip, still sending experts intending to launch a covert assault.
But when they arrived, they found Zhonghai calm, not even seeing the Great Elder's men.
The reason the Hu Family made intelligence errors, Lin Mei explained.
After Lin Batian shielded heavenly secrets, he was with the four Grand Elders day and night, the Great Elder had no chance to disclose that the formation's timing had changed.
So the Hu Family's ambush was a failure, coupled with an inability to contact the Great Elder.
The Hu Family began to suspect the Great Elder's motives, believing he was sent by Lin Batian on purpose to mislead the Hu Family.
Due to the Great Elder's betrayal, the Hu Family knew about Lin Batian's three Golden Corpses, not a single one left.
Even if the Corpse God emerged, after all, the time was still short, it had not reached its peak period yet.
If the Corpse God was as formidable as the Great Elder described, then delaying longer would be extremely disadvantageous to the Hu Family.
After all, the Corpse God grew stronger by the day, if not eradicated soon, it would become an endless trouble.
As soon as the old ancestor of the Hu Family emerged, the Hu Family couldn't wait to strike.
Because this timing was when the Corpse Herding Sect was at its "weakest".
And then, just like Ning Fan saw, the Hu Family dispatched the Five Great Vajras, blood-washing Mo Family Village.
However, the machinations behind this by the Hu Family differed somewhat from Ning Fan's thoughts.
Initially, Ning Fan believed the Hu Family slaughtered the village to seize the cultivation manual.
But in reality, the Hu Family's objective was to deplete the Corpse Herding Sect's living forces to the greatest extent.
The greatest strength of the Corpse Herding Sect's disciples came from the zombies controlled by their minds.
Therefore, the Hu Family set an ambush in the woods that were a necessary passage.
The ant-like Gu Insects aimed to perish together with the zombies, mitigating with the tactic of ants biting an elephant to death.
Once they eliminated a large number of zombies, the Hu Family could claim victory at the lowest cost.
In the Hu Family's calculations, even if they couldn't completely wipe out the Corpse Herding Sect,
As long as the Hu Family's old ancestor stalled the Corpse God and Lin Batian, creating opportunities for others, as long as high-ranking members of the Corpse Herding Sect were captured alive, it was the greatest victory.
This is why the Hu Family sent out the Five Great Vajras, all cultivated at the Aerial Mastery Realm.
They went through immense effort to summon that sea of Gu Insects to accomplish this goal.
It wasn't as Ning Fan thought, easily found in the deep mountains.
It's safe to say, after today's events, the ecological balance of the nearby mountains was lost.
Apart from controlling the Gu Insects to exhaust the zombies, these Five Great Vajras also would decide whether to capture alive based on the situation on site.
If Lin Batian sent out people whose overall strength wasn't greater than the five of them, they would take action.
It was precisely because they saw the Corpse Herding Sect dispatched only three people, with the highest cultivation at the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery, that the Five Great Vajras began their ambush.
Little did they expect to kick an iron plate, and in an instant, four of the Five Great Vajras died.
Hearing the entire story, Ning Fan could not help but chuckle, "Looks like this Hu Family old ancestor has truly grown arrogant. Haha, Heavenly Gang Realm!"
Before the Hu Family old ancestor advanced to the Heavenly Gang Realm, even if the Hu Family coveted the Corpse Herding Sect's cultivation techniques, they dared not target those ordinary disciples.
Otherwise, Lin Batian would definitely deal with the Hu Family.
With Lin Batian's ruthlessness, he certainly wouldn't have the misgivings that Ning Fan had.
Better to kill a thousand wrong than let one go.
By then, Lin Batian would make sure no chickens or dogs were left in the Hu Family Village.
Because they were outmatched in strength, the Hu Family was always at a disadvantage in dealings with the Corpse Herding Sect.
Therefore, when the Hu Family old ancestor broke through the barrier, the long-repressed Hu Family immediately vented their frustrations by massacring Mo Family Village, using bloodthirsty means to release their long-held grudges.
This was the sequence of events.
Ning Fan said in a deep voice, "It seems the Hu Family is already prepared. Perhaps that Hu Family old ancestor is on his way."
"It's not impossible."
Finished, Lin Mei said coldly, "Hu Dawei has personally said that the Hu Family has already noticed the anomalies of the Secret Realm Ghostly Forest, waiting for the Hu Family old ancestor."
