Chapter 67: Grim Circ.u.mstances
Though Cool Breeze Temple is but a branch of Mystical Sky Yard, not much emphasis was placed upon it due to it being located in the secular realm and having low amounts of spiritual qi. Thus, they only delegated a single cultivator to guard the place. The other Taoist monks were only there to handle the miscellaneous ch.o.r.es. Even if they cultivated some HouTian cultivation methods, they were only slightly stronger than mortals.
It can be said that they were just strong mortals. Normally as a cultivator, as long as they are not evil cultivators, they would not attack mortals. Doing so is tantamount to bullying the weak, which leads to having an ignominious reputation. Of course, if the mortal has done something unforgivable, it would be a different story. For example, Little Fatty killed the imperial tutor and all, because they first unscrupulously harmed the other mortals.
However, these Taoist monks in the Cool Breeze Temple were not like that. They were secluded from the world and did not do anything bad. But yet they were killed so cruelly. Such a despicable action could only have been committed by those evil cultivators.
From the remnant Qi, surprisingly there was not a trace of evil in it. In fact, it has the spiritual Qi of a righteous cultivator. The only plausible explanation was that a righteous cultivator was the one who did this.
After reaching such a conclusion, Little Fatty flew into a rage. He unrestrainedly bellowed, “No matter who you are, I will rip you to shreds!”
Little Fatty’s roar was embedded with his spiritual Qi. It was like a lion in the forest. The roar could be heard from kilometres away, causing the surrounding fire to flicker a moment .
At this moment, a cold laughter echoed from the surroundings. A sharp voice filled with hatred then replied, “Darn fatty, I have not looked for you and you dare to appear! You even dare spout such nonsense? Haha, very good, let’s see who will rip who into shreds!”
As this voice sounded, Little Fatty immediately felt 5 strong presence around him. Subsequently, 5 cultivators surrounded him. These murderers did not leave but stayed around to find Little Fatty. It is just that Little Fatty hid into his Natal Artifact, thus managing to stay undetected. Now that Little Fatty came out with such a roar, they immediately surrounded him. They all stopped in mid air and looked down on Little Fatty from above.
Despite being surrounded, Little Fatty did not feel any regret. Instead, he sized up the people around him with killing intent while taking in a cold breath.
There were 5 cultivators who surrounded him, out of which only one was in the XianTian stage. The other cultivators were in the Foundational stage. Because of his low cultivation, he could not tell what their exact cultivation was. He only knew that they were not to be trifled with.
The only female cultivator was about 30 years old. She was dressed in red, effusing the charisma of a mature lady while disdain suffused her pair of eyes. She seemed to be very weak but was actually very dangerous. It could be judged from the dozen of discs floating around behind her.
This palm sized, black, intricately designed discs were a set of very powerful Mechanical Magical Artifacts which was recorded in the jade strip.
Although it was very small, it could transform into a light disc of at least a few feet when released. Such a light disc was very sharp and could slice through jade and metal. All the mutilated corpses that were sliced into pieces was probably the result of those darts.
