<h4>Chapter 1272: Chapter 1272:</h4>


    Under the moonlight, the surrounding grass and trees swayed gently with the night breeze.


    A dozen or so people had just exited the cave not far when they encountered Little Niu standing there.


    He was grinning foolishly, fiddling with a twig in his hand.


    "1, 2, 3, 4..."


    He kept using the twig to count the number of people.


    "This obviously is the vige’s mentally challenged child, and he’se here in the middle of the night, what do we have to be scared of?"


    "Exactly, that guy was just fear-mongering to scare people, saying that no living person should go in and out, I’m going in today to see for myself."


    "Silly boy, do you know if there’s a graveyard nearby?"


    A dozen people immediately surrounded him, looking at Little Niu with disdain.


    They tried to get information from him about the location of the graveyard.


    "Sixteen of you... wonderful... it’s been so long since I’ve had so many to eat!"


    Unexpectedly, Little Niu was just licking his lips.


    But his smile was now cold and sinister.


    That greedyughter as if seeing a delicious meal made them scoff.


    "We’re only thirteen, how did you count sixteen, with that brain you want to eat me? Come on, do you want me braised or steamed?"


    One of them extended a hand in disdain and tapped Little Niu on the head.


    Unexpectedly, Little Niu suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.


    "Raw!"


    Then he looked up, and his gaze suddenly became incredibly malicious.


    The cold voice seemed toe straight from Hell.


    Just one sound made everyone’s back shiver, rooted to the spot.


    "Let go! Let go!"


    The immense grip made the person’s wrist ache.


    Instinctively wanting to pull back, but it was simply impossible.


    So instinctively, he used his left hand’s dagger to stab toward Little Niu’s chest.


    "ng!"


    Unexpectedly, the sharp dagger, upon touching Little Niu’s skin, sparked fiercely.


    "Ah!"


    Before the other could understand, Little Niu suddenly opened his mouth.


    At that moment, his eyes looked like a beast’s.


    Simultaneously, ck smoke spewed from his mouth, transforming into the head of a ck fox.


    With its gaping maw, it bit off half of that guy’s body.


    "Ghost... ghost..."


    Blood sttered, and the lower halfy on the ground.


    It wasn’t until this moment that the remaining twelve came to their senses.


    Instinctively they turned to flee, but unfortunately, the giant ck fox was faster.


    The closest one hadn’t even moved when his head was bitten off.


    The others desperately tried to run back to the cave.


    But at their speed, the hundred-plus meters distance was an insurmountable gap in their lifetime.


    "Now’s the chance, go quickly!"


    Seeing the evil spirit within the vige guardian on the loose.


    The three figures hidden outside the mountain gate dashed in like lightning.


    While Little Niu was devouring those pawns one by one, they charged inside with all their might.


    Simultaneously, after the three entered, four more figures came in, divided into two groups.


    They were the cultivators hidden outside all along.


    This time, they nned to fish in troubled waters and break through the vige guardian’s defense.


    Just after shaking off the vige guardian, as they thought they were safe, a figure emerged from the tree in front of them.


    "You hid very well."


    Lin Yifan stood with hands in his pockets, coldly looking at the seven before him.


    Despite their ordinary attire, their speed just now proved they were Taoist practitioners.


    And under the moonlight, he recognized they were all from Taoyuan Vige.


    He had seen two of them since childhood, asionally greeting them when they met.


    "How did you get out?"


    The leading old man stared at Lin Yifan with astonishment.


    He was supposed to have been captured by the police and shouldn’t be here.


    "If I didn’te out, how would I know there are still so many hidden experts in the vige? Tell me, who participated in that fierce battle sixteen years ago?"


    Lin Yifan’s eyes were icy, without any emotion.


    Sixteen years ago, his father died in ck Bear Valley.


    Perhaps today this enmity and debt could be settled.


    "Go to Hell and ask your father!"


    The old man didn’t bother with more words, with a wave of his hand, two strong men on either side immediately lunged at him.


    The three of them were father and sons, the moment they attacked, the wind was cold and fierce.


    "As I thought, you are one of the insiders."


    The lethal move arrived, but Lin Yifan didn’t fight back.


    With a push of his feet, he leaped high andnded behind the three.


    Simultaneously turning sideways, he dodged two flying knives thrown by theters.


    "Brothers, there’s no time to waste, once we eliminate the Soul Suppressing Man, the things in ck Bear Valley will be ours forever."


    The old man squinted, his eyes filled with a cold re.


    Since he had been discovered, there was no need to hide anything.


    The only thing left was an all-out battle.


    The four who rushed inter naturally understood this.


    Thus, they all revealed their weapons one by one.


    The seven-on-one battle was about to erupt.


    "If you want the things in ck Bear Valley, you have to ask him first."


    Lin Yifan still had his hands in his pockets, smiling as he looked at the three men in front of him.


    Just as the three hesitated for a moment, a fierce wind blew in.


    Little Niu, who had resolved the fight on the other side, had unknowingly arrived.


    With a mouth full of blood, hended beside Lin Yifan, his blood-red eyes gleaming with excitement.


    "Twenty... so great... so great, I want to eat them all!"


    The grin at the corner of his mouth was no different from a beast’s.


    As he spoke, even the surrounding air seemed to drop a few degrees.


    A foul odor permeated the air.


    "Don’t be afraid, everyone, seven against two is not a loss for us, now is no time to hesitate, we must go all out."


    Once the old man finished speaking, the seven charged together.


    Having endured for decades, they finally did not have to wait any longer.


    "You aren’t qualified to make me act; it’s not seven against two, but five against seven,e out and take some air!"


    Unexpectedly, Lin Yifan, without dodging or evading, pped Little Niu’s back.


    Letting out a long howl, five plumes of ck smoke erupted from his seven orifices.


    The smoke formed into shape in the air.


    In the next moment, five giant ferocious beasts appeared out of nowhere before the seven.


    "The Five Great Immortals... the vige guardian actually sealed the Five Great Immortals!"


    Seeing the fox, weasel, snake, hedgehog, and rat formed by the ck smoke, the seven sucked in a cold breath.


    The fox, weasel, and others were the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast.


    And now, the murderous aura released by the Five Great Immortals made the seven feel the terror of death.


    Unfortunately, at this point, escaping was no longer an option.


    The Five Great Immortals transformed into five shadows and lunged at the seven.


    In the blink of an eye, they were pierced through by the ck smoke, copsing powerlessly to the ground.


    "Tell me, who killed Li Hao?"


    Lin Yifan watched contentedly as the Five Great Immortals returned to Little Niu’s body.


    Now, the unimportant four had been entirely devoured.


    Only the three fathers and sons were left kneeling on the ground, coughing up blood.


    Their strength was slightly higher, likely connected to the events of that year.


    "It was me... it has nothing to do with my two sons... as long as you don’t kill me... I’m willing to tell you... the true culprit of that year!"


    The old man knelt on the ground, his face pale as he looked up.


    But the next second, Lin Yifan already had him pinned to the ground with a foot.
