Chapter 28 The Mystery of the Sophora Tree, Strange Species

In this dark room, the old Taoist priest couldn't even scream, because he was completely confused by Shen Bai's words.

"You cut off my hands and legs, and you said they were just two legs?"

He felt that a normal person would not say such chilling words.

Even if the two sides are enemies, they cannot be humiliated in this way.

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated.

"If you have the guts, just kill me with one sword!" the old Taoist said gritting his teeth.

Shen Bai looked indifferent, raised his right foot and stepped on the old Taoist priest's face, crushing it hard.

The old Taoist's teeth were crushed by the foot, and he spoke incoherently and could not be heard clearly.

Shen Bai loosened his foot and said calmly, "You are the fish and I am the knife. Do you want to talk? Do you agree with me?"

The old Taoist priest opened his leaky mouth and said, "What do you think of me? I'm going to speak, I'm going to shout loudly, I'm going to alert all the detectives, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Shen Bai didn't say anything and turned the sword in his hand.

A cold light flashed.

The next moment, the old Taoist priest felt a gust of wind passing by his cheeks.

When he came to his senses, he felt a sharp pain and found that his ears had been separated from his cheeks and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.

"These days, living is easy, but dying is a luxury."

Shen Bai's voice came like a devil, making the old Taoist priest feel cold all over, as if he was suddenly thrown into ice and snow in the hot summer.

"If you cooperate, go and die happily. If you don't, after you've been tortured, I'll find a place to bury you, pour honey on you, and let snakes, insects, rats and ants lick you clean. You can imagine how that feels."

"I'll give you three breaths."

The old Taoist priest felt his hair stand on end and all the pores on his body shrank.

"one."

Shen Bai's voice came slowly, calm as water.

"two."

At this moment, the old Taoist priest felt Shen Bai's gaze, and the fear in his heart continued to grow.

Before Shen Bai could utter the third word, the last line of defense in the old Taoist's heart was completely broken.

"I was wrong, Master. Please give me a quick death later. I will cooperate with whatever you want!"

Shen Bai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, grabbed the old Taoist priest's collar, and disappeared into the Qian family's yard in a few steps.

……

The sky was already dark along the way.

Shen Bai didn't want to care about what happened to the Sun family afterwards, nor could he care.

Because Shen Bai now has a new goal.

Only the torso and head were left of the old Taoist priest. When Shen Bai dragged him by the collar, he looked like a slightly larger bag.

Throughout the night, the old Taoist priest didn't dare to say a word and kept his mouth tightly shut.

The reason was that Shen Baiqian had said that if he dared to say anything careless, he would be subjected to horrific torture.

The old Taoist priest felt severe pain in the wound, but he still gritted his teeth and endured it.

Shen Bai dragged along like this and finally came to a relatively remote street.

He dragged the old Taoist priest's body into the alley, found a quiet and dark corner, and then let go.

Under the influence of inertia, the old Taoist rolled several times on the ground, his face facing the ground, unable to move.

"Okay, now let's talk about it. What does it mean to borrow the longevity from the locust tree?"

Shen Bai's voice came from behind the old Taoist priest.

As soon as the old Taoist priest opened his mouth, he felt a handful of yellow soil pouring into his mouth.

He struggled to turn over, but was completely powerless. Then, the old Taoist felt a pain in his lower abdomen.

He was kicked over by Shen Bai and looked at Shen Bai with pitiful eyes.

Because the old Taoist priest is old, and coupled with his miserable appearance, he really looks pitiful and frail.

But when Shen Bai thought of the old Taoist priest who had just untied his robe and wanted to molest the young lady of the Sun family who was sleeping in the coffin, he felt nauseous.

"If you don't tell me, I'll cut off your nose again."

Shen Bai approached gradually with a long sword shining with cold light.

The old Taoist priest shuddered and spoke quickly.

"Master, it's weird, it's weird, the locust tree is weird! It's a towering locust tree, it's already weird, but the situation is special and I can't move it. I got greedy and grabbed a branch."

"When the strange branch is weak, use it to harm others and gain lifespan."

"Weird, can't move?"

Shen Bai touched his chin and became curious: "Why can't it move?"

The old Taoist priest felt a little strange.

He didn't know why a master like him in the Three Treasures realm didn't know such simple knowledge, but his life was at stake at this moment, so he had to answer quickly.

"Strange beings aren't just any one person. Everything in the world can become strange. However, certain special strange beings, such as mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, plants, and so on, will only affect one direction after they become strange."

"For example, the locust tree is only within the area around it, but after cutting the branches, it can be carried far away."

"The locust tree is yin, and can use the illusion of yin energy to kill people. I just use the yin properties of the locust tree to obtain the mortal's qi and blood for cultivation."

"The world is in turmoil right now. Everyone wants to live a better life. I have no other options."

Shen Bai sneered, "I told you not to act pitiful."

The sword flashed, and the old Taoist priest felt pain in his nose.

Blood splattered everywhere, and the nose was cut into a bloody mess by the sword.

"what!"

The old Taoist priest couldn't bear it anymore and struggled and screamed.

But the screams stopped abruptly.

Shen Bai raised his foot and stepped hard on the old Taoist's face.

The sound of bones breaking became more and more frequent, and the old Taoist priest's entire face was broken and fractured by Shen Bai's steps.

"Master, I won't scream anymore, I won't scream anymore." The old Taoist priest quickly begged for mercy.

"Where is the locust tree now?" Shen Bai continued to ask.

After listening to what the old Taoist priest said just now, Shen Bai suddenly had a good idea. As for whether it is feasible, he plans to give it a try later.

After experiencing the pain just now, the old Taoist priest no longer dared to hesitate at this moment.

He answered quickly without even waiting for Shen Bai's gaze to sweep over him.

"In Liuyun Lake, west of Shengyun County, there is an island in the center of the lake, and the locust tree stands there."

Shen Bai nodded and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, I like people who give straightforward answers. You are very good."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest smiled and nodded repeatedly.

At this moment, coupled with that miserable appearance, it makes people feel creepy when looking at it.

Especially since there is no nose and only two holes, it looks even more terrifying.

Shen Bai touched his chin: "Let me ask you one last question."

The old Taoist priest hurriedly asked, "Master, if you have any other questions, I will tell you everything I know."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "If we keep the locust tree and take its branches every day, won't it produce strange things continuously?"
