"What... what do you want to do?"
"Duan... Duan family's business has nothing to do with us."
The Snow Mountain Sect disciples, including Senior Brother Liu, were all frightened. The old woman's strength was not something they could compete with. Since this matter was related to the Duan family, it was a private matter. They were just Snow Mountain Sect disciples, not Duan family members. They did not want to die with the old woman.
"Hahaha... do you really think that you can get away after attacking me?"
The old woman stabbed the snake-headed walking stick into the ground. The expected situation of the bluestone ground cracking did not appear. Instead, it directly stabbed into the ground. It was silent, as if it had drilled into a quagmire.
"Snakes... so many snakes!"
It was unknown who spoke first, but all the Snow Mountain Sect disciples began to snake out from under their feet. There were all kinds of snakes, the most typical of which was a rope snake with a thick front and back and a pointless tail. This snake moved extremely fast, and its front and back looked the same. It was hard to tell which side was the head and which was the tail. As long as one was bitten, the snake venom would travel up the blood vessels to the brain.
This kind of nerve snake venom had a strong hallucinogenic effect. The poisoned person would not die immediately, but would experience all kinds of hallucinations. In the end, they would kill themselves, or a few people would kill each other.
"Liu Zhanyuan, die!"
After a junior brother was bitten by a rope snake, he seemed to have thought of something and stabbed his sword at Senior Brother Liu.
"Junior Brother Lin, stop."
Senior Brother Liu was tired enough dealing with the snakes, but he also had to be careful of his junior brother. He was accidentally bitten in the leg.
"I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I was the one who did it three years ago, I am worse than a beast... "
A Snow Mountain Sect disciple suddenly knelt on the ground, crying and slapping himself, recounting an unsolved case from three years ago. The steward of the handyman office had a granddaughter who was only ten years old at the time. She was very cute, and all the disciples liked to play with her. But one day, she was found dead in the forest behind the mountain. Her clothes were torn, and she was violated inhumanely before she died.
This kind of inhumane behavior was not only unacceptable to the steward of the handyman office, but also to the upper echelons of the Snow Mountain Sect. They thought that some evil cultivator had broken into the sect. But after investigating for three years, there was no clue. They could never have imagined that this was the doing of an outstanding inner court disciple of their sect.
"I see. See if I don't bite you to death."
Another disciple of the Snow Mountain Sect was barking on all fours, as if he was a dog. However, he still had a conscience. When he heard his fellow disciple confess, he fiercely bit down on him, biting off his ear and chewing it.
"Ugh … so disgusting."
"Cousin, if you were poisoned by that poison, would you say anything?"
Murong Mansha followed Du Feng and slowly retreated. In such a tense atmosphere, she did not forget to tease him. It was hard to tell what was in a person's heart. No one knew what kind of person was behind another. Take the Snow Mountain Sect disciple who had just confessed, for example. He was dressed in a refined manner, making him look very honest. Who would have thought that he would do such a thing that was worse than a beast.
"Don't mess around. Listen to my commands later."
Du Feng meticulously guarded against the old woman. At this moment, he was not in the mood to joke with Murong Mansha. As he retreated forward into the corridor, his hands were busy with something. Those spreading poisonous snakes were crawling more and more. They all came to this side, but every time they reached the corridor, they would crawl back.
"Bang, bang …"
Unknowingly, the snake-headed cane had returned to the old woman's hand. As for the Snow Mountain Sect disciples, they were all dead. Some committed suicide, some were stabbed to death by fellow disciples, and the most tragic was the one who confessed, Rang You. He was bitten to the point that his face was beyond recognition. His nose and ears were gone, and the flesh on his face was bitten off, revealing the tooth sockets inside.
With every step the old woman took, the snake-headed cane would hit the ground. Step by step, she approached the corridor where Du Feng and the others were hiding. From time to time, she would let out an unpleasant laugh.
"Little boy, why are you hiding? I don't kill innocent people."
The old woman opened her mouth, revealing ugly yellow teeth. The wrinkles on her face squeezed together, making people feel nauseous. The Adjudicator adheres to the principle that guilty must be punished and innocent must not be killed. Just now, except for Duan Qingwu, everyone else seemed to be guilty. After being poisoned, they confessed all the crimes they had committed over the years.
"Miss Liu, you don't have to pretend."
Having retreated to the deepest part of the corridor, Du Feng stopped and suddenly said such an inexplicable sentence. Even Murong Mansha and Zheng Xiaohui were stunned. They looked at Du Feng, not knowing what he meant. What Miss Liu? Did he know this old woman? Even if he knew her, he couldn't call her Miss at such an old age.
When the old woman heard this address, her body trembled slightly. Only Du Feng noticed this detail, which meant that his guess was correct.
"You don't want to deny the unique movement technique of the Liu Family, the Floating Willow Catkin."
Du Feng stared at the old woman's eyes and continued.
"Quack, quack, quack …"
The old woman seemed to have heard a big joke. Her laughter was uglier than a crow's cry. She stabbed the walking stick in her hand downwards and disappeared into thin air. Seeing this scene, Murong Mansha was scared half to death. She pointed her sword at the ground, afraid that a snake would crawl out.
"The method of hiding with the cane can deceive others, but not me."
Du Feng was calm, not worried at all about being bitten by a poisonous snake. As he retreated, he had already done something to the ground. No matter how poisonous those snakes were, it was useless because they couldn't break the formation buried deep below. They could only circle around in place.
"Who are you? How do you know the secret of my Liu Family?"
The old woman's voice was no longer dry and unpleasant, but as crisp as a lark. It was obvious that it was the voice of a young woman.
"I don't want to pry into the secrets of your Liu Family, but that's it for today. If you leave immediately, we will live in peace."
When Du Feng said this, he put away the Silver Dragon Sword, as if he was very confident. Murong Mansha and Zheng Xiaohui were confused. Anyway, they couldn't get involved, so they just continued to watch.
"Can we really live in peace? Then tell me where the Ghost King is."
The old woman waved her hand and tore off the mask she was wearing, revealing the young face inside. A lock of long hair poured down like a waterfall, and a pair of bright eyes like autumn water were shining. Even a beauty like Murong Mansha would feel ashamed when she looked at her. Her skin was as delicate as snow, and she had an innate noble temperament. It was not something that could be achieved just by dressing up. Even if she was still wearing the old woman's tattered clothes, it couldn't hide her outstanding beauty.
