Just as I turned and was about to head out, Li Fu forced his body to move and held my hand and said :
Brother Tian Long, you are injured, allow me to do the cleanup instead .
Turning my head, I saw that in his eyes, the purple light kept flickering and was no more as steady as before, I still don't know what exactly was going on with him, but it was clear to me that even though his body was now fine, it seem that he was still injured .
At least that flickering purple light in his eyes told me enough about his current state, he might be able to fight one or two, but his fighting capabilities might currently be quite lacking, so even though every piece of help was currently counted, it was better for him to stay here and calm these girls down and organize them, so I turned him down and said :
" Don't worry, these are just few superficial injuries, getting some rest after this should be enough to get them all healed up, I have another important task for you, when I finish cleaning these guys outside up, I hope you would have dealt with everything here, okay ? .
He seemed a bit reluctant at first, but the girl who was currently tightly hugging him and pouring her tears on his shoulder made him finally agree to let go, I nodded at him and then got out, but just as I reached the door, I turned my head and scanned the whole room then said :
" You should all focus more on getting out of here alive, I would open a way for you, but we are a bit tight on time that we have on our hands, I hope you all would be ready to leave when I come back, here .
I tossed them a few pieces of clothes that was in the pouch of that team leader before and the girls directly began to try and reach them, those guys were left in tattered clothes that have barely covered anything, so not only they were not ready emotionally but psychological as well .
Now things should have become much better for them, after doing this I finally got out of the room and get to work, the temple had actually two Grand Halls, one that had those cells and the other should be the main one, where the members live and mange this place .
The sound and the voice just now came from the main hall, so there should be a few more people still lurking around, but before I went to check in that other Hall, I inspected the other doors in the one I was currently in .
Thinking that there might be more kidnapped girls in them, but luckily it seem that even though these rooms have cells in them, they were all empty, so there shouldn't be anymore girls detained here other than Liu'er and the others .
Reaching that conclusion, I used Crouching Tiger to dash directly into the other Hall, the moment I stepped in what came into my view made all the hair on my body to stand up and my spine became chilly, in front of me there was a quite big cauldron that had green fire being lit beneath it .
But that wasn't what shocked me, what really shocked me with the sight behind that cauldron, numerous skulls and bones and little pieces of clothes all swarming in a ponds of blood, the air on the room smelled both bloody and sinister .
It didn't even take a second for me to understand that the guys here was doing some sort of a sacrificial ritual, that ritual required the death of more than 40 people at least from what I was able to see .
Who are you ? .
Justas I was thinking of this, I heard the sound of someone who was very close to my position, the other was more focused on fanning the flames or adding more wood under the cauldron, but once his voice sounded loudly in the room, the others also seem to take notice of my existence as well .
Just as he finished asking this, his head fell into the floor, dead, his comrades seeing him falling like this were quite alarmed and quite stunned as well, but after a while one one of them yelled at me loudly saying :
What are you doing, are you ins.... !!! .
I wonder about that too, what exactly am I doing, I heard a ' thud ' and saw that I had already moved from where I was originally and directly appeared behind the guy that was screaming at me just now, not even giving him the chance to continue his sentence, I seem to have struck his neck and another head fall on the floor .
I stammered a little after realizing what was happening to me and what I just did, but that was merely for no more than a second, then without hesitation, I shuttled through the room and strike 7 times with my sword, each strike either cleaved someone's head or cut deeply into his neck, enough to kill all those who were present .
For the first time since I came to this world have I became this angry, not even when I faced Lu Si was I this wrathful, just looking at the pile of bones that were scattered in the room almost made me go berserk, no, I might have already become berserk .
With each passing second, the sound of a body hitting the floor sounded, only after I was certain that everyone was wiped out did I fell down on the floor while looking at the cauldron in front of me .
Whatever was these guys brewing in that cauldron, was most likely the main reason behind all those remains here, I wasn't able to think clearly at the moment, all I was thinking was that I needed to find whoever was responsible for this and beat him to death as a tribute to all those souls that fell here .
Just as this thought appeared on my mind I Instinctively began walking towards the cauldron and turned it over, directly spilling all of its contents on the floor, a more intense pungent and quite nasty smell appeared in the room, the color of whatever was inside the cauldron was actually black as ink and there was even the cries of ghosts appearing to be coming out of it .
I suddenly had a more clear thoughts after I did this, the first thing that came to mind was my need to get out of this place as fast as I could, the reason was because I understood that whoever was responsible for this place, he was most certainly someone who was much stronger than that team leader from before .
So staying here longer might increase the risk of encountering him, if I was alone, I might have considered laying a trap for him or take him by surprise and ambush him, but I wasn't alone in this, there was a bunch of girls that were in need of someone to escort them back to the city without delay .
I for now discarded the thought of seeking revenge on the person responsible for this, on behalf of the all the souls that fell here, I first bowed in the direction where the pile of bones and remains were scattered and began to throw them into fire, I wanted to bury them, but this place wasn't suitable, nor would I be able to take all of their remains back with me, even if I were to empty the two pouches currently on me .
So this what I came up with to make them rest and bid them all a respectful farewell, I wished that their soul can now rest in peace, as for hunting down the mastermind behind this, I already understood that it will be quite the difficult challenge, but I still determined to do it .
Witnessing this disgusting scene in front of me made me become more aware of how Evil was the the Evil Tigers group was, this also made me realize how cruel the humans in this world can be, sighing to myself and trying to remove the depressing atmosphere now circling in the hall around me, I decided that it was better to go and find Li Fu .
I skipped my way toward the other hall and didn't even care whether in that short period of time was he able to appease those girls or not, I directly burst into the door, my actions shocked the girls slightly, but after seeing that it was me who came in they were more at ease, but they were still a bit frightened by the blood currently on my blade and clothes .
Not caring in the slightest about that I told Li Fu that we need to move, he was bewildered at the reason why we were leaving in such a hurry, so he couldn't help but ask :
Didsenior brother encountered something something dangerous just now ? .
Not wanting to waste any time, I said :
" I cleaned the place up from those wretched guys, but the strongest among those that remained was much weaker than the others, but whatever they were trying to do was interrupted by me .
" Now, I believe that someone much stronger than those guys might be coming to check on this place and I don't want to be here when he arrive, so let's get out of here quickly .
Hearing my reasoning, Li Fu couldn't help but agree, nodding his head toward Liu'er, now that I took a closer look on the girl, I was able to see that she had quite the fair face and skin, her green eyes were fierce before, but now they were much tenderer when she looked at Li Fu or me .
After Li Fu gave her what seemed to be a signal, the girl fierceness appeared once again but this time, this fierceness was actually aimed at the other girls in here, then like a little general, she began to order the girls to move .
I don't know how was she able to acquire such an influence over them, looking at the frightened expression on these girls faces, I also understood that whatever that she did, I probably didn't need to know much about .
Asking Li Fu to stay in the back to keep watch, I took the lead in leading those guys out of this place, just as we passed by the entrance of the temple, I saw that the girls had quite the crazed expressions on their faces as they looked at the bodies that were tied in the corner .
Their faces were filled with hatred, they stopped and didn't move an inch further, no matter how Liu'er tried to persuade them, those guys were all fixing their gazes on their assaulters, seeing how tattered their clothes were before, it wasn't difficult for me to guess that these guys tied in front of me dealt with the girls inappropriately .
But now wasn't the time to be stopping, so due to how intense the situation was and how tight the time was, I couldn't help but let quite a crazy thought appear on my mind, one that not only should allow us to move, but it should allow these girls to relieve their hatred as well .
Tossing out a few swords on the ground in front of the girls was enough, the girls were hesitant at first, after all using a sword wasn't a trivial matter, not to mention using it to take revenge, hurting others with it, or even killing them directly .
But as long as the clanging of swords settled down, a girl who had only one part of hair hair still in braid took the initiative in picking one of the swords on the ground, then without any hesitation she sunk the sword directly on the lower body of the person she recognized as her assaulter .
Soon three or 4 more cries sounded in the dimly lit place and the girls seemed to have finally solved their hatred, those who were already dead weren't spared and in their bodies I can see 4 or 5 swords planted in their bodies .
After that all the girls seemed to stare in the void, then they looked at me and then as if they were enchanted they directly began to swarm me and choked me in a deep hug, then they suddenly started to tear up .
Sobbing loudly for some time, I really didn't know what to say or actually do, all that I was able to muster and say was :
" Don't cry, everything is over now, we will soon get out of here and each one of you can go back to her family .
I patted 4 or 5 of them on the head, but they were still not letting me go, I felt hopeless about this situation and just decided to bear with it for a few seconds .
Remembering how these girls dealt with those who had offended them before, I couldn't help but since a cold chill between my legs, it was really quite a scary and painful depiction the one we witnessed just now, one that could leave a person with nightmares for life .
The reason I said we because I also saw Li Fu looking at these guys and then at himself and shudder slightly, seeing him like this I would have almost burst into laughter, if not for realizing how tense our situation was .
After the girls seemed to have finally calmed down I motioned for Li Fu to ask Liu'er for help in managing the girls that were still hanging on me like as if I was a tree or something .
The little general directly took action and I don't know if it was just my imagination, but I saw a swirl of green energy that appeared as the girl moved and directly flickered the foreheads of more than dozen girls in quite the swift manner .
Even I was only able to barely keep up with her movements, seeing her moving like this, I couldn't help but wonder since she was so capable, how was a guy like Bu Fan able to catch her and why didn't she just choose a chance to escape .
The girl would be unmatched if she were to compete with anyone in this temple in terms of movement speed, so that was quite a mystery for me, but after I finally got released from the grasp of the girls and discarding the wolves staring at a prey kind of stares that they kept throwing my way, I directly ascended the stairs and told them to follow me .
Evading one of the more bold ones that directly tried to hang into my arm, I needed both my arms to solve any troubles that might came on our way after all .
Finally reaching the door of that abandoned building and getting hit by the chilly wind and the sound of Beasts moving and yelling around us made all of us tensed, just as reached for the door and opened it, I was enhancing my 3 senses, eyesight, smell and also my hearing .
With them I was able to sense that someone was actually heading at our direction quickly, I began to hear his footsteps drawing more and more nearer, so I couldn't help but turn towards Li Fu in quite a hurry .
Seeing me turning towards him so suddenly made him become quite nervous, just as I was about to tell him anything, the sound of footsteps I was hearing suddenly stopped and with my keen sense of smell, I was able to understand that he had already arrived .
What's that smell, I smell some rats .
