495: Chapter 0495: Elder Ancestor Gao 495: Chapter 0495: Elder Ancestor Gao Long Fei and his companions had barely taken a few steps when a barrage of gunfire erupted ahead; they guessed it was a shootout with the zongzis.
Fat Wang exclaid, “Shooting zongzis with a machine gun, this scene, if captured, would surely be hotter than ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’!”
The others laughed for a mont, quickening their pace.
After about a hundred ters, the cave suddenly opened up.
Inside the cavern, torches were lit.
It seed to have been carved out by hand, about the size of a basketball court.
A creature in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair, stood in the middle, holding two strong n in the air.
Four people were already lying on the ground, while Li Cangfeng and five or six n stood trembling in place, bewildered.
Long Fei, standing outside the cavern, watched for a while; it was his first ti seeing the legendary zongzis, and his eyes shone brightly.
Suddenly, the creature let out a muffled roar, “Who are you?
Why do you repeatedly disturb my cultivation?”
This statent not only terrified Li Cangfeng and his group half to death,
but also left Long Fei and the others outside staring at each other in disbelief.
What the hell, isn’t it a zongzi?
How can it talk?
The worldviews of everyone present were slightly shattered, and Li Zhenni was so scared that her face turned pale.
Although she tried to appear composed, her hands were now clutching Long Fei’s arm.
Long Fei felt awkward.
Damn it, Chu Feng was right beside him; what was he supposed to make of being hugged by his ex-sister-in-law?
The creature tightened its grip, directly puncturing the strong n’s necks and creating bloody holes.
Blood gushed down their clothing onto the ground, filling the cave with the sll of blood.
Li Cangfeng and his group had just fired a hail of bullets but could not inflict the slightest injury on the creature.
Clutching the Mystic Iron Sword, Li Cangfeng trembled and called out, “Elder, we ant no offense.
We were simply seeking wealth and had no idea this was your abode!”
The creature scoffed, “Seeking wealth?
Eating a al from the Netherworld, are you?”
It lifted its arms, raising the two strong n’s bodies high, and voraciously drank their blood.
The other strong n trembled with fear, not knowing who shouted, “Damn it, kill him!”
The gun in his hand fired first; the large-caliber grenade launcher bood, shaking the entire cave.
The other strong n followed suit, firing their weapons as sparks and flas shot out chaotically.
Bullets whistled furiously, like a gale sweeping towards the creature.
Clang, clang, a series of tallic sounds as spent casings hit the ground.
The bullets fell one by one, their impact ineffective against the creature’s dry, iron-hard skin, unable to penetrate it.
After the strong n emptied their magazines, they finally sensed danger and turned to run.
The creature roared and blocked the exit with a flip of its body.
With a vicious swipe of its claws, it crushed the necks of the strong n one by one in the blink of an eye.
It bit into the necks of the strong n, and as the parched skin absorbed the blood, it beca as elastic as normal flesh.
After draining the blood, the creature threw aside the dry corpses and approached Li Cangfeng.
Li Cangfeng, terrified, fell to his knees and pleaded, “Elder, spare , please!
Do not be angry; I did not tell them to shoot!”
With him like this, there wasn’t a trace of the imposing presence he once had.
Outside, Du Jun watched with a look of disdain, thinking to himself that he had held this cauldron-bearer in too high regard, practically deifying him.
Now, he saw that he was nothing special after all.
Long Fei was covering Li Zhenni’s mouth, nearly smothering the girl to the point of fainting.
The creature had gotten close just now, and Li Zhenni had caught a glimpse of it, almost screaming in shock.
Its face was akin to that of a mummified corpse, pitch-black and twisted, with two rows of teeth exposed like those of a wild beast.
Long Fei and Chu Feng were also full of surprise, thinking that this was no rice dumpling but clearly a practitioner of the Heterodox Path.
Its clawed hand rested on Li Cangfeng’s head, causing the old man to shiver in terror.
Its voice, as if issuing from the depths of hell, coldly said, “I have cultivated the Immortal True Body, and in one more year it would have been complete.
Three hundred years of Cultivation Level, ruined in an instant by you, thief.
How could I possibly forgive you?”
Li Cangfeng trembled, “Predecessor, you’ve just co into this world and there are many things you don’t understand.
I can serve as your ox or horse, and take care of you by your side!
If you kill , once you leave this place, you’ll be completely in the dark, and you might easily stir up great trouble!”
“That does make so sense!”
The practitioner of the Heterodox Path paused, then, with his hands behind his back, he asked coldly, “Which family’s Emperor is in power now?
Are the Manchu Tartars still on the throne?”
Li Cangfeng shook his head, “They are gone, it has been a republic for a long ti.
There are no Emperors anymore, now it’s the people who call the shots!”
Long Fei and the others standing behind nearly laughed, not expecting this century-old monster to care so much about politics.
He was quite calm, “I had long anticipated this.
The Manchu Tartars oppressed the Han people, lost the hearts of the populace, and were bound to lose their empire sooner or later.
But what does this ‘people’ an?
Does the Emperor now bear the surna Ren (people)?”
Li Cangfeng explained, “The people don’t have the surna Ren, it simply ans the common folk!”
“Nonsense, absolute nonsense!”
The monster shook its head, baffled, “The common folks are just a bunch of ignorant people, how can they rule the land?
Without an Emperor, wouldn’t this world be thrown into utter chaos?”
Li Cangfeng humd in agreent, truly not knowing how to respond.
A person who hadn’t even finished junior high school could hardly comprehend such profound questions.
The monster asked again, “How is our Hong Sect faring now?
Does the Imperial Court still make use of them?”
Li Cangfeng’s head began to sweat, feeling an even stronger desire to die.
He thought to himself, gosh darn it, are you a history teacher or what?
Can’t you ask a normal question for once!
He wiped the beads of sweat away and sycophantically said, “The Hong Sect is doing very well, they hold a place within the imperial court.
Disciples are spread across the world, and they certainly hold significant power.”
The old monster laughed out loud, “That’s good, that’s very good.
I have been hiding here, diligently cultivating for three hundred years, all to strengthen the Hong Sect, to overthrow the Manchu rulers, and to restore the Hann dynasty.
Now that my wish has been fulfilled, it is indeed a cause for celebration!”
Li Cangfeng heaved a sigh of relief, truly grateful for his own wit.
Long Fei and the others exchanged looks, not expecting the old monster to be such a patriot.
Maybe they don’t need to fight, and could even have a conversation instead.
Before they could rejoice, the old monster imdiately asked, “Have you heard of descendants of our Gao Family within the Hong Sect?
How are they faring now?”
“The Gao Family?”
Li Cangfeng widened his eyes, completely clueless.
Long Fei and Chu Feng’s hearts pounded, thinking this old fellow couldn’t possibly be an ancestor of Gao Yan and Gao Chi, could he?
“Predecessor, regarding the matters of the Gao Family in the Hong Sect, I can inquire for you after I leave, and I will surely give you a satisfactory response.
Do you intend to continue cultivating here, or would you like to go out with us?”
Li Cangfeng asked carefully, looking for an excuse to quickly get away.
Being in the presence of this old monster felt as if he were in front of a wild beast, never knowing when he might breathe his last.
