Man-eating Demon

The matter was resolved?

Ling Han glanced at Hu An, confusion flashing through his mind.

‘Aren’t you the slightest bit curious why he poisoned you?’

“Sigh!” Hu An sighed. “These servants are all people with blood on their hands. I took them down and let them cultivate their moral character here. I didn’t expect this person to bear a grudge.”

Ling Han smiled and said, “Brother Hu is truly benevolent. I’m impressed.”

“You flatter me,” Hu An said with a shake of his head. “By the looks of it, these people still lack discipline. I’ll definitely be more strict in the future.”

After the incident with the poisoned wine, they were naturally in no mood for any more food and drink. Thus, Hu An escorted them to the guest room. “Father, do you really believe the words of that bearded uncle?” Sixth Baby asked.

Ling Han shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Then why didn’t you expose him?” Eldest Baby also asked.

“Do we have any proof?” Ling Han said with a smile. “Furthermore, I’m only suspicious now. If it’s really as he said, wouldn’t that be awkward?”

“Oh.” The seven babies all nodded.

“If he really has malicious intentions, there will definitely be a second plan if this plan does not succeed. Just wait and see how he shows his true colours,” Ling Han said. In truth, he too did not want Hu An to be a bad person. After all, there were really too few good people in this era.

They rested, but Ling Han couldn’t sleep. He lay on the bed and studied formations. This path was really wide and profound, making him feel like he couldn’t comprehend it even if he poured his heart and soul into it.

Ling Han felt that he still hadn’t grasped the basics yet. Otherwise, even though formations were ever-changing, they wouldn’t be so difficult to grasp. At the very least, he would be able to get started.

‘Hmm? He’s here.’

Ling Han sighed. He sincerely hoped that he had only misunderstood Hu An. The latter was not the evil person he had imagined, but in truth, he was disappointed.

He saw a secret compartment open, and soundlessly, a thin pipe stretched out. It was currently spewing out smoke.

If he and the kids were already asleep, then it was extremely likely that they wouldn’t have noticed. After all, Foundation Building Tier cultivators weren’t omnipotent gods, but Ling Han was already suspicious, so how could he possibly be unguarded?

He did not attack at the first instant, but rather closed his eyes, and acted as if he had already been hit.

After a while, the doors opened, and a person walked in. He was tall and slender, and under the moonlight, he cast a long shadow.

Hu An walked in. His face was slightly flushed, as if he was under extreme excitement.

“You know how much I hope that the person who comes in isn’t you,” Ling Han suddenly said, sitting up straight.

Hu An couldn’t help but feel surprised. He immediately went into a defensive stance, but in the blink of an eye, he relaxed, and asked, “You were already on guard against me?”

“Do you think that, since I almost drank a cup of poisonous wine, I should sleep so carelessly and foolishly?” Ling Han countered with a question of his own.

“You shouldn’t,” Hu An said with a shake of his head. There was a smile on his face, and he continued, “However, I’m a little confused. Why didn’t you act out earlier? Why did you deliberately pretend that you had been affected by the medicinal effects? Why did you lure me out?”

“Because I hope that this person isn’t you,” Ling Han said calmly.

Hu An was silent for a moment, then broke into a grin, though it was incredibly malevolent. “Unfortunately, I have disappointed you!”

“Why?” Ling Han asked, “Previously, you were still speaking up for justice, and now you want to harm me. This is very contradictory.”

“Does everything have to be logical?” Hu An asked slowly.

“Give me a reasonable explanation. When I make my move, I can be more efficient and give you a quick death,” Ling Han said.

“Hahaha!” Hu An laughed loudly, “You have only built the foundation of human Dao, while I have built the foundation of Heavenly Dao. Young man, do you think that you are a god just because you have passed through the nine-storey tower?”

He had built the Heavenly Dao Foundation, and his level of being had surpassed Ling Han’s. With a single glance, he could determine that Ling Han’s cultivation level was weaker than his. Then, since he was building the foundations of Heavenly Dao, and Ling Han would only be building the foundations of human Dao.

Ling Han merely looked at him, and did not speak.

“Alright, there’s no harm in telling you.” Hu An found a chair and sat down. “I’m only standing up for you because I’m taking this opportunity to have a reasonable chance of getting close to you and those seven children.”

He paused, then continued, “Let me tell you a secret. Previously, when I was still a mortal, I had once been trapped on the snowy mountain with my companion. The strong winds could forcibly tear one’s skin. When we were trapped until the ninth day, we were really unable to bear the hunger.”

“Thus, we began fighting, both wanting to kill the other.”

“Because… that’s precious food!”

“There’s naturally no need for me to explain the outcome, right?”

“Since that time, I have been captivated by human flesh, and feel that it is the most delicious thing in the world. Even if I have advanced into Celestial Path, and merely by absorbing the power of heaven and earth, I would not starve to death or die of thirst, I still want to eat human flesh.”

“Thus, I settled down here, and when I became hungry, I went to the Shadow Demon Mountain. I always managed to bring a few idiots back.”

“Let me tell you, the meat of a cultivator is more fragrant than the meat of a mortal, and after stepping onto Celestial Path, there is another active factor in the meat. Not only does it taste better, it can also help one’s cultivation level.”

“A small part of the reason why I was able to build the foundations of Heavenly Dao so quickly is because of this.”

“Oh, that’s right. The meat of a child is more fragrant. That’s why I’ve set my eyes on you.”

After Hu An finished speaking, he looked at Ling Han, as if he was anticipating him to show an expression of fear.

—Dying in a state of intense fear, one’s muscles would have a unique smell.

But to his disappointment, Ling Han’s expression was calm, and there was not the slightest bit of fluctuation.

This had far exceeded his expectations. Ling Han’s reaction was too illogical.

Ling Han tapped his finger on the table, “You deserve to die.”

“Many people said something similar before I killed them.” Hu An shrugged, “But in the end, I ate them all.”

Ling Han snapped his fingers, and xiu, a powerful force shot towards Hu An.

“A mere Human Dao Foundation!” Juan smirked coldly. “Brat, you’ve just entered Celestial Path, and all your knowledge is still stuck at the mortal level, right? Let me tell you, even a one-star genius can only be invincible at the level of Human Dao Foundation. A two-star genius can just barely match the early stage of Heavenly Dao Foundation, a three-star genius can battle the peak stage of Heavenly Dao Foundation.”

“And I am at the peak stage of Heavenly Dao Foundation!”

He casually sent out a palm strike towards the gust of energy, “Could you possibly be a three-star genius?”

Of course not. If it really was a three-star geniu, the Holy Land would have long since treated him like a treasure and taken him in as a personal disciple.

Pa, the two forces collided, and Hu An’s power instantly crumbled. Meanwhile, Ling Han’s finger was still aimed at Hu An, leaving a trail of blood on his left shoulder.

“What!” Hu An paled in shock.

Even a three-star genius could only fight him to a tie, but Ling Han actually wounded him with a single strike. What the hell was this?

Could it be… it was a four-star genius? That could be invincible even with a gap of one level!

Ling Han stood up, “Do you have any last words?”

Hu An’s eyes darted around, and he suddenly turned around and fled. A battle hammer had already appeared beneath his feet, bringing him away through the air..
