277 Join the Devil Part VI (1/2)

Human flesh was rubbery to chew on especially for an old monk without teeth. So he concentrated on chewing it with his hollow cheeks moving slowly. Both compassion and greedy were reflected in his indifferent eyes.

As he chewed, swallowed and the flesh was absorbed, his deep sockets and hollow cheeks were refreshed. His face regained vitality.

The girl's little arm was like a piece of lotus root washed away by the lake water, and with that heart-throbbing sound, it was eaten away alive with a piece of flesh. Blood ran down the wound, and her face was pale but strong and tight-lipped, refusing to utter a sound of pain.

The old monk stuck out his black tongue to lick off the blood near his mouth while maintained a compassionate expression on his face. The stark contrast was even more chilling.

Ning Que was stunned when he saw this and he found that things went beyond his expectation. Neither he nor Ye Hongyu saw this coming. They never expected that the venerable Master Lotus would be such a horrible monster. Moreover, the most important thing was that even though he knew there was something wrong with the old monk, he was unwilling to believe it.

After he completely ate that human flesh, even if his face was still covered with the girl's blood, Master Lotus suddenly looked like a venerable and merciful Buddhism Sect Bhadanta.

He looked down at Ye Hongyu who was looking back at him desperately and resentfully. He swept across her young face and said, ”How could I do this to you. You are so cute.”

Ye Hongyu's sense of perception was blocked and she lost her body control. She could feel she was becoming weaker and weaker and the finger on her face was as cold as a snake.

”Why would I do that? Why didn't I resist the temptation of your blood?”

The old monk's eyes became hollow and perplexed. He murmured to himself and laughed, ”I have saved all my Psyche Power for decades and I still have not been able to kill you two. Lotus you were too weak .”

He calmed down and explained to the three young people and himself. ”I had to eat something because I was trapped here for a very long time. I had to.”

He said in such a normal voice that Ning Que and the girls felt grim.

Ning Que was sure that years ago when his Youngest Uncle broke the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine, he trapped Master Lotus with an inhibition and made him suffer for so many years instead of killing him.

Even if the old monk had a high realm of cultivation, he could not take such torment for so many years without breaking down. While he was about to die, the Front Gate of Devil's Doctrine opened and Ning Que and the girls came in. They became his best bet for getting out of there.

So the old monk pretended to be merciful and he used his legacy to let them relax their guard. The Tao Addict then finally opened her spiritual world to him and he was able to control it.

Ning Que frowned and said, ”Although I didn't know you before, they did. They kneeled to you as soon as they saw you. Both Master Lotus and Divine Lord Lotus have a great reputation in cultivation and they trust you. Why didn't you wait for them to help you get out, but instead took such a risk?”

The old man smiled and said, ”Because you can't unlock this array and I am the only one who can break this Confinement if I can get all my power back. I had to eat you up if I want my power back.”

”Even if we couldn't break this Confinement, our sect elders could,” said Ning Que.

The old monk laughed and added, ”There were only a few people who could break Crazy Ke's Confinement, and yes, some of your sect elders could. But unfortunately, they all knew the story of what happened in that year, and they would rather kill me by pulling down half of the world than save me.”

Ning Que paused and said, ”You are not well liked.”

The old monk sighed and continued. ”With the bones for so many years, I had given up for a long time and I never saw hope coming. You, three poor kids, came here when the door opened. I think it's destiny.”

Ning Que became silent and thought, ”I, as the disciple on the Second floor of the Academy and the three addicts, are qualified to do something big in the world of cultivation. But in this former master's eyes, we are just three cute poor kids. It means time really matters for a cultivator.”

”I hadn't stored enough Psyche Power, so after you got in this room, I started my Buddhism Sect Torture Method to make you doubt yourselves. I thought you would be the weakest one, trapped in your delusion and never got out. I didn't expect you are the only one who stayed conscious. How did you do that?”

The old monk smiled at Ning Que. Although he looked so skinny and ugly, he showed his arrogance to the world just like a free young man.
