Chapter 203: West Mount -13
" Essh! " Bai Lung tightened his grip on the woman's hair, causing her to wince in pain.
His cold eyes bore into hers as he spoke with a chilling calmness, " I think you didn't hear what I just said, let me repeat it; Tell me about this Reincarnated Holy Child,"
As he said his lips slightly curved while a strong aura was being emitted from his body pressuring all five of them.
" Hhh! "
The woman hesitated for a moment before responding, trying to maintain her composure despite the fear gnawing at her insides.
" He...he is our leader," she stammered, " His strength knows no bounds, and anyone who dares defy him pays the ultimate price! "
" Oh! " Bai Lung's eyes narrowed as his suspicion started growing.
He knew better not to trust the words of someone in such a desperate position plus what's with that his strength had no bounds.
Yet, there was something intriguing about this Reincarnated Holy Child that piqued his interest.
As for paying the ultimate price, Bai Lung doesn't pay anything.
" Very well, " he said slowly, releasing his hold on her hair.
" But mark my words, if I found out that you lie to me... You will suffer fate so cruel that death will be mercy, "
his voice trailed off ominously as he glanced pointedly at her fallen so-called husbands.
" Go on... Tell me more about him, since he seems so strong you must know about things or two correct? "
Bai Lung's gaze returned to the woman with his expression hardening as he waited for her answer.
Gulp! Explore more at m,v l'e-m|p| y r
She swallowed nervously, sensing the danger lurking beneath his calm and collective face.
Then, with a sudden burst of courage, she blurted out,
" Fine! I'll tell you everything I know about the Reincarnated Holy Child! But first, promise me that you won't harm me or my husbands."
Her eyes pleaded with him as desperation was evident in every inch of her well looking face.
Seeing an opportunity to extract valuable information from this frightened little dumb woman, Bai Lung considered her request carefully.
However, he had no intention of letting any potential threats escape unscathed, he needed answers more urgently than killing them at present.
He wants the location of this so-called holy child or reincarnated child.
Bai Lung watched the woman closely with his sharp eagle like eyes, weighing her sincerity against the potential risks of granting her request. Finally, he relented with a curt nod.
" Very well... I might spare them, " he said gruffly
" I give you my word that neither you nor your husbands will be harmed if you provide me with accurate information about this Reincarnated Holy Child... So, start talking before I change my mind, " he said with his cold tone making her shiver in fear.
His tone left no room for doubt, any attempt to lie would result in swift retribution.
The dumb bitch was visibly relaxed upon hearing Bai Lung's words despite being a little nervous and though traces of fear remained etched onto her face.
She began recounting what little she knew about the mysterious figure known as the Reincarnated Holy Child,
" He appeared among us several years ago, claiming to possess divine powers granted by some ancient deity during his previous life... "
The woman's voice trembled slightly as she continued recalling her first meeting with the Reincarnated Holy Child.
" umm... At first, many were skeptical about his words. But then... strange things started happening around him. People fell ill and died mysteriously, crops failed for no apparent reason, and even the weather seemed to bend to his whims... It felt as if everything was under his control...
Gulp! "
She paused briefly, swallowing hard and looking into Bai Lung's cold eyes that were piercing her soul before continuing.
" It wasn't long before everyone in our village accepted him as their leader, the embodiment of divine power sent to protect us from harm... Not just that, but he even gave us Beast core, so, we could cultivate different paths, "
Her eyes glazed over with a mixture of fear and reverence as she spoke about this mysterious person.
Meanwhile,
Bai Lung listened with great interest, absorbing every detail shared by the woman.
Though he couldn't help but question whether her story was entirely truthful or merely embellished out of terror, there was undoubtedly something unusual surrounding this so-called Reincarnated Holy Child that warranted further investigation.
He couldn't wait to meet him and see the so-called divine power with his own eyes.
Also, the entity? met in a past life? Feel like an Isekai plot and the guy seems dumb to tell everyone about his secret.
Well, he do he.
" Is there anything else you can tell me about this person? "
Bai Lung's voice held a note of curiosity mixed with caution.
He needed more details before deciding on his next course of action.
The woman looked hesitated for a moment, clearly unsure whether she should reveal any additional information or not.
However, seeing how there was no alternative but to cooperate fully with Bai Lung if she hoped to save herself and her husband, she finally spoke in a weak voice.
" umm... I don't know much, but, there are rumors that he possesses powerful artifacts given to him by the very gods themselves.
Some of his close servants says that these items grant him control over life and death, allowing him to resurrect those who had left the world, or kill those who are in front of his eyes, "
" Ooh! " Bai Lung had a creepy grin across his face as he listened to her words.
' Is this true? ' Bai Lung said in his mind.

' Meh! If he isn't as she proclaimed, there is no need to check his profile for 10k points ' Bai Lung said while he glanced back at them.
The next moment he blinked and erased them from existence.
