Late Night Tales Of The Capital

Chapter 123 Meat Grinder
The true name of the man whose arms had been cut off by Ye Que was Yan Se.

He left the Mountain Valley of Pure Blackness and went to the Human World when he was seventeen. He had done numerous evils and killed lots of people since then. The fear he had seen was more than he could remember. Anyway, in his impression, the disciples of the Cultivation World were mostly pure and honest, and few of them were cruel.

Today, however, Yan Se suddenly found out how ridiculous his previous thoughts were. That he had always encountered pure and honest practitioners was because of his good luck. In the Cultivation World, there was also the existence of fierce and cruel, just like Ye Que in front of him. In a short time, Ye Que had let him know what was better to die than live, and what was called purgatory in the Human World. Compared with Ye Que, what he had done before was like a child playing games.

Yan Se could not imagine how a young man that was grown up in the Human World would be so cruel.

He could not even imagine some means that Ye Que used.

Although Ye Que’s smile looked bright, his inside was more horrible than the ghosts. If there had been another chance for Yan Se, he would not have shown up in that small wine shop, and would leave this small road of the Mount Mei far away and would never come back. But things could not change anymore, everything had already happened.

Half an hour later.

Yan Se was dragged back by Ye Que with his leg holding in his hand, like a muddy.

The expression of Ye Que was as usual, but Yan Se’s expression was like seeing a ghost. He was shivering all over. Now, he could not even raise his head anymore, let alone staring at Red Bean. His teeth were trembling.

In fact, this was because of Yan Se’s bad luck. In the Cultivation World nowadays, no talents in any sects could get any useful information from Yan Se when they met a situation like this. Because this generation of young talents were flowers that raised up in the greenhouse. In nearly a hundred years, the Cultivation World had never experienced the slightest wind and rain. These flowers had never seen blood flowing in the river. They had never seen the scene that corpses scattered everywhere like mountains.

How could the younger generation who had grown up like this be the opponents of the monsters?

However, Ye Que was different. In his space, the war between the Demon Race and the Human Race had lasted for decades. It had spread from the Human World to the Three Realms, and the ordinary people were also involved. Everything they could do was to pray for their lives in the morning after they woke up every day.

It was an era in which the air was filled with blood all the time.

Killing or being killed, conspiracy or pitfalls, traps or routines, living or death were all around them all the time. Surviving in such a situation, even if he was an innocent man, he would be forced to learn a lot of things. Ye Que was not a pure innocent man, or not a good man, naturally he would shock Yan Se.

Ye Que was called the ‘Demon-slaying Asura’, would he be an innocent young man?

Even if Yan Se was an innocent man, Ye Que could not be.

Having fought with the Demon Race for decades, he had encountered with all the situations.

Yan Se was just a ‘non-mainstream monster’ that was born in a peaceful era and had infected with human traits. Naturally, he could not compare with such a ‘Demon-slaying Asura’ that came from the blood sea and corpse mountains.

Only after half an hour, Ye Que has warmed up, but Yan Se could not bear anymore. This thin, old man with white hair turned out to cry. The nasal mucus and tears were all on his face. It had also renewed Ye Que’s impression on them.

“Humph, you call yourself a monster with such a look? After a few decades, any spy cultivator from Demon Race would be a hundred times stronger than you.” Ye Que spoke to himself in a somewhat dull way.

He raised his foot, kicked Yan Se, and pouted his lips as a signal toward Red Bean. “Just ask whatever you want. He’s already prepared about confessing. He won’t shut up any more.”

Red Bean’s expression was a little shocked at this time. She had never expected that someone would let a hunter talk, and only in half an hour. Looking down at Yan Se who fell to the ground, Red Bean could not believe her eyes. “Is this still the evil creature recorded in the classics?”

“The evilest existence between the heaven and earth is such an appearance?”

“Have those d*mn old men in the clan lied to me since I was young?”

The more Red Bean thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. But her deep-rooted persistence demanded that she denied it. This idea was dangerous, in the words of the elders in her clan, “It’s an evil idea, and it’s not allowed to exist.”

Red Bean shook her head hard, and she made a punch on her own head. She seemed to want to completely eliminate the idea.

After a quarter of an hour, the little girl took back her attention and looked at Yan Se on the ground with a bad look. “Let me ask you. What does the mowing man you said before mean?”

Yan Se looked up slightly at Ye Que and trembled. He began to explain in a trembling voice. “The mowing man is a metaphor. It was our captain’s idea. He means to compare this action to mowing weeds.”

“Weeds?”

“What are the weeds? Those soldiers who were killed by you?” Red Bean continued to ask.

Yan Se nodded and said, “Yes, those soldiers. Our mission is to kill all the soldiers who escaped from the You Prefecture, and then take away their military soul.”

“I’m responsible for this snowy road north of Mount Mei. There are not many soldiers who can think of taking this road, but they are not less as well.”

After thinking about Yan Se’s answer carefully, Red Bean asked again, “The soldiers who escaped from the You Prefecture? Why did they escape from there?”

At the same time, Ye Que also asked, “Do you know which general are these soldiers belong to?”

Yan Se said without thinking, “In these days, the soldiers who could appear near Mount Mei must belong to the Ye Army or the cavalrymen of the kingdom from the grassland. No one else can they be.”

“As for why they escaped from the You Prefecture, have you not heard of that?” Yan Se said unexpectedly. In his mind, since the two would come to kill him, they must be the genius disciples of the Cultivation World who had heard about the tragedy in the You Prefecture and came to kill him especially.

Before the action began, the captain had already told them that the more time it took, the greater chances of encountering disciples in the Cultivation World there would be. So they must mow the soldier souls as soon as possible to avoid more troubles.

Ye Que did not speak, but snorted coldly. The voice was not very loud, but Yan Se was frightened to confess honestly. “About nine days ago, 150,000 iron riders of the grassland went to the south to attack the prosperous Tang. In order to resist the invasion of grassland barbarians, 200,000 Ye Army troops headed by His Highness Li Chunyu went north to fight the enemy. The first battle took place outside the city of the You Prefecture.”

“The two armies have fought for three days and three nights.”

“The You Prefecture has become a meat grinder.”

“350,000 people have lost their lives.”

“There were only a few soldiers who have escaped.”

“And our task is to mow the lives of these people, whether they are the soldiers of the Ye Army or the barbarians of the grassland.”
