Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 52 - Murder to Vengeance

Hunshan Hall, a force supported by the Xiang family, specializes in purchasing wild game from hunters and sometimes organizes hunting expeditions into the mountains.

Based on recent information and past impressions, Lin Le was certain that this family was no good either.

They monopolized the pricing power of prey, offering prices 20% lower than those in surrounding counties, and forcing hunters to sell only to them.

If they discover hunters selling their wares at the market or directly to merchants, they will be beaten or kicked at best, and may even disappear into the wild at worst.

Recently, they've gone even further. Because the imperial aura hasn't gathered, some demons and monsters have started loitering around the deep mountains, so hunters dare not go into the mountains to hunt.

But for profit, they forced hunters to go hunting in groups in the mountains. To put it nicely, it was called an autumn hunt; to put it bluntly, it was trading lives for money, except that these lives weren't theirs.

Under the bright silver moonlight, in a large courtyard with three courtyards, Gao Shanyu, the leader of Hunshan Hall, was on the bed, abusing a woman. The woman was quite pretty, but her face was flushed from the assault.

Beside the bed, two men were holding down a man who was bound by ropes. The man's mouth was wide open, and he was whimpering wildly, because the woman on the bed was his newlywed wife.

Gao Shanyu grabbed the woman's neck with both hands, and the woman's face began to turn blue and purple. After a low growl, he snapped the woman's neck with a crack.

After venting his anger, Gao Shanyu sat on the bed with a relaxed expression, looking down at the man: "You know, when a woman knows she's going to die, that part of her is incredibly tight."

"Aaaaah!" The man on the ground roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot, wishing he could devour Gao Shanyu's flesh and drink his blood.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing the man's angry expression, Gao Shanyu couldn't help but burst into laughter. He really loved this feeling; the sense of control that allowed others to live or die was simply wonderful.

He kicked the woman's corpse off the ground and waved his hand: "Bury these two."

"Yes." Just as the two trusted men were about to lift the body, they suddenly heard a cold voice.

"no need."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure carrying a long spear walked in.

Gao Shanyu also rose through the ranks from the bottom, and knowing that the newcomer was not friendly, he reached under his pillow and pulled out a short knife.

Gao Shanyu looked at Lin Le, who was approaching, with a wary expression: "Who are you?"

"Yama."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Le thrust his spear forward, the spear moving like lightning, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Break through the sky!

Even Gao Shanyu, a cultivator at the second level of cultivation, was caught off guard and was stabbed in the arm by a spear.

"Ah!" Gao Shanyu cried out in pain, his hand involuntarily loosening its grip on the short knife.

With his fingers forming claws, like an eagle swooping down on its prey, Lin Le grabbed Gao Shanyu directly and then exerted force again.

The cracking sound continued, and Gao Shanyu's limbs were twisted into a pretzel shape.

The Hun Tian Ling flew out, slapping the two guards who wanted to rescue Gao Shanyu to death, and then flew to Gao Shanyu, binding him tightly.

Ignoring Gao Shanyu's wailing cries, Lin Le picked up the short knife from the ground, first cutting the ropes binding the man on the ground, then handing the knife to him: "Go, let him die a horrible death."

The man looked at the dagger in his hand, then glanced at Lin Le, and nodded emphatically.

Then, without even getting up, he rushed towards Takayama Yu on all fours, sliced ​​off Takayama Yu's ear, and put it in his mouth right in front of him.

The scene began to turn bloody.

Lin Le walked out of the house and continued to kill the others. Anyway, Hun Tian Ling was of one mind with him and would end Gao Shan Yu's life at the crucial moment.

After Lin Le had killed everyone in the courtyard, he returned to his room and found that the man and Gao Shanyu were both dead.

Gao Shanyu was strangled by the Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon), while the man took his own life.

"What a tragic couple." Lin Le picked up the short knife beside him and put it into his storage bag. He threw a punch, and a wave of heat rolled in, igniting the wooden furniture. Lin Le carried the man and woman's corpses away.

As the fire spread, many people were alarmed and rushed over to check, only to find that the Gao residence had become a sea of ​​flames.

"Was this a premeditated arson attempt to cover up the crime?" A man dressed in black stood on the roof, frowning slightly. When he saw the burning door plaque in the firelight, his frown deepened.

Takayama Iku's mansion? Was it the other side that made the move?
Elsewhere, a man in a green robe leaped onto a large tree, looking at the rising fire with surprise in his eyes. This street was the residence of the county's wealthy and powerful.

However, after seeing whose house it was, the man frowned. It was the Gaoshan Yu family. They didn't have any plans to target Gaoshan Yu recently.

They can't possibly orchestrate this whole thing themselves, can they?

Outside the city, there are mass graves.

Lin Le punched a large crater, burying the two corpses on his body.

"By imperial decree, your lonely soul is released."

Lin Le's body shone with golden light as he chanted the Rebirth Mantra.

Before he could finish reciting, a cloud of black energy rushed towards him.

Lin Le didn't even lift his eyelids. A ball of golden light flew out from his body and directly trapped the black energy.

The black aura manifested into a human form, but its appearance was unpredictable; one second it was a woman's face, and the next it was an old man's face.

Lin Le continued chanting the Rebirth Mantra. As he chanted, the ghost became increasingly agitated, roaring silently, its black aura spreading outwards, seemingly both angry and dissipating.

"May all beings be saved and reborn quickly."

Lin Le recited it three times, and the ghost completely lost its form, turning into smoke and dissipating.

A total of twenty-six points of merit from the Earthly Path were entered into the inner realm of supernatural powers.

Ten o'clock comes from the purification of the mass grave, and sixteen o'clock comes from that ghost.

Lin Le hadn't expected that the ghost was actually equivalent to a second-level cultivator; he had thought it was only a first-level cultivator.

'Perhaps I'm too strong.' Lin Le put away the Qiankun Ring and felt the vast true qi within his body.

He was already at the peak of the realm, and his true qi far surpassed that of other cultivators at the same level. After reaching the Great Perfection of Dao Guidance, although the quantity of his qi did not increase much because it was already at its limit, the quality of his qi underwent a leap forward.

Although he didn't know the exact level of this quality, Lin Le felt that it at least surpassed that of a cultivator who possessed all five elements.

'At least by this time tomorrow, an ordinary fifth-level cultivator will be no match for me,' Lin Le thought to himself.

He could suppress a third-level cultivator when he was at the first level, but now that he's at the second level, he still can't beat a fifth-level cultivator. Isn't his Dao Guiding skill at its peak?

Instead of returning to the city immediately, Lin Le headed in one direction.

Now that his eyes can see clearly even in the dark, and with the moon still bright tonight, Lin Le quickly found a target.

But after spotting his target, Lin Le slowed down even more, as if afraid of alerting something.

But even the longest road eventually comes to an end, let alone a short road of just a few dozen meters.

Upon reaching their destination, Lin Le knelt down and respectfully kowtowed, saying, "Forgive your unfilial son for only now coming to show his filial piety to you two."

Looking ahead, there was a burial mound with a stone tablet in front of it. The names Lin Chang'an, Huang Qinyu, and Lin Le were clearly written in the middle of the tablet.

Judging from the rest of the characters, this is a cenotaph, a cenotaph erected for Lin Le's family.

After bowing and kowtowing three times to the tomb, Lin Le placed his hand on the tombstone, wiped it with his finger, and stone powder fell down, erasing the two characters "Lin Le".

He is not dead yet, so this feud will not end until death!
