Chapter 301: Ao Lie! Master Wuse! The Widow Song Ya!
Outside the Merit Grove, the patrolling martial monk, Master Xuming, was behaving differently from usual. Yet deep within his eyes, there was a trace of undisguisable coldness and joy.
“Six hundred years! At last, I, Ao Lie[1], am free again!” His mood was exceedingly cheerful.
In just an instant, he had possessed the body of this young martial monk. It was the very same demon that Shangguan Jin of the Thousand Illusions Sect had tried to release earlier.
Looking at this familiar mortal world, Ao Lie took in a deep breath.
“The disciple of that old bastard, Jinguang, has now been wounded. Truly, this is a heaven-sent opportunity!” Ao Lie sneered viciously.
Crack! He twisted the neck of the monk standing before him.
“Senior Brother Xuming, what are you doing?!” The surrounding martial monks were struck with horror.
Just then, a chilling light flashed in Ao Lie’s eyes. With a single move, he had snapped the neck of another monk! It seemed he had a particular fondness for such violent methods.
The screams had only just begun before vanishing swiftly, as the entire patrol squad of martial monks was slaughtered. When another squad of monks rushed over, they found only their fellow disciples lying dead in misery. And there, a young monk was crouching on the ground while gnawing at something.
At this time, a thick stench of blood spread through the air.
The leader of the squad was broad-faced, big-eared, and powerfully built. At the sight, his brow furrowed. He recognized the back of the young monk.
“Xuming, what are you doing?!” he bellowed in fury, drawing his weapon at once.
