I smiled and said, "I don't have many good points, but when it comes to confidence, I'm pretty confident. I believe in my own judgment. You can be quite cruel when you're being cruel, but when you're serious, you're very serious.

You can kill hundreds of enemies without batting an eye, but you're unwilling to kill even one innocent person, especially if that innocent person has left you with a good impression. In order to help this innocent person escape the dead end you set up, you struggled desperately together. You were saving someone, and you were also saving your own conscience."

"The innocent person you're talking about… is that you?"

"Do you think there's someone else here?"

"I don't know." Ding Kan closed his eyes and covered his face with his hand.

He was very tired, not just physically exhausted, but also mentally drained. He was so tired that he didn't want to think about anything anymore. If I wasn't here, he might have just closed his eyes and lain here, never opening them again, never getting up again.

Actually, I was sure that he was the one who released the ghosts, and there was even more crucial technical evidence, which was the Hanming (Cold Darkness) cultivation technique he practiced, but he didn't ask any more questions, so I didn't say anything.

In this disaster, the truly powerful ones were not the evil ghosts, but the Minghan (Dark Cold) array that shrouded the area within one kilometer of the Tianshi (Celestial Master) Mansion. If this array hadn't frozen all spells and magical artifacts, those evil ghosts wouldn't have lasted even a minute in front of so many cultivators; they would have all been annihilated.

However, with the Minghan array's suppression, the cultivators were all reduced to ordinary people, leaving them at the mercy of the evil ghosts.

The Minghan technique is very evil, and this array is even more terrifying. The most powerful aspect of the Hanming array isn't killing people, but refining ghosts. All the evil ghosts enveloped by the array constantly devour each other. As the number of individuals decreases, the power becomes more concentrated, eventually creating a terrifying monster with amazing combat power.

The array here is the Minghan array, and Ding Kan practices the Minghan technique. Ding Kan's cultivation is also very high, extremely high. Anyone with a brain wouldn't believe that a master like him wouldn't have noticed the Minghan array here.

If I only suspected him of being the mastermind when I saw him escaping alone, then after joining forces with him to set up the barrier, I was completely certain that he was the mastermind.

The mastermind can, of course, break the game. So, Ding Kan wasn't unable to escape this array. As long as he was willing, those evil ghosts could be dispersed in minutes. He just wasn't willing to.

Although these people were all his enemies, there were so many of them. Harvesting so many lives in one day, killing so many living people, still put him under enormous pressure, a pressure so great that he wanted to escape through death.

If we all die together, then no one will owe anyone anything, right? If it wasn't to throw me, an innocent person, out of the array's range, he would have given up struggling long ago.

"So clear about love and hate, unwilling to involve the innocent, and so amazingly talented, able to set up such a mass-killing trap and such a sophisticated array, you are also a talent. I've told you everything you asked. Now, it's time for you to tell your story."

"Tell it? I've always been a very trustworthy person. I said I would kill them all, and I'll do what I said. I said I would tell you a story, so how could I go back on my word? Even if I die, I have to finish telling you the story before I die. It's just a pity that there's no wine here."

Although there was no wine, Ding Kan still told his story.

The incident happened thirteen years ago, and it was considered a major event that shocked the Yin-Yang world. The extermination of the Rakshasa woman in Stone Prison Village made Qin Tianming famous in one battle and became a rising star in the Yin-Yang circle.

Ding Kan was born in Stone Prison Village and lived there for ten whole years. Before Qin Tianming chased the Rakshasa woman to Stone Prison Village, it was just an ordinary small village. Filial sons would cry at graves, and widows would cheat on their husbands, no different from any other poor and backward mountain village. But after the Rakshasa woman fled into it, everything changed.

Stone Prison Village is surrounded by mountains, making transportation inconvenient, and the feng shui qi is also relatively closed off, making it a natural trap. The Rakshasa woman wanted to use this terrain to defend, and Qin Tianming wanted to use this terrain to trap and beat the dog. So, the two sides displayed their talents and began to fight using various feng shui methods. The situation in the small mountain village changed rapidly.

Qin Tianming's feng shui skills were indeed powerful, and he was decisive in his actions. In addition, Qin's family had a large number of people, so they quickly suppressed the Rakshasa woman. The Rakshasa woman was forced into a desperate situation and was about to be captured alive by Qin Tianming.

In order to build momentum for Qin Tianming, the Qin family began to publicize it even before the battle was won, and even prepared a celebration banquet. Some of Qin's licking dog fans also rushed over to help, unable to provide practical help but helping to boost the momentum, standing on the top of the mountain to wave the flag for Qin Tianming.

But who would have thought that the situation would suddenly reverse at this time? The Rakshasa woman found a rare spiritual vein in the trapped cave, not only recovering her strength but also greatly increasing her power. She immediately began to beat Qin Tianming.

Qin Tianming led a group of fans to scurry around with their heads in their hands, hiding in the deep mountains with the help of the fog, using feng shui to set up a large shield to hide their tracks. Hundreds of people huddled in the gully, afraid to breathe loudly.

The Rakshasa woman had been chased by Qin Tianming like a dog before. After turning the tables, she was unwilling to let Qin Tianming go so easily. She howled and cursed in the mountains, forcing Qin Tianming to come out for a decisive battle.

Qin Tianming wasn't a fool. Knowing that going out would mean death, he certainly wasn't willing to go out. His followers also didn't agree with him going out.

With Qin Tianming there, there would be a large shield, and they could hide inside. If Qin Tianming died, they would all be exposed. Who knew what the Rakshasa woman in a state of madness would do? Giving them a quick death would be too good for them; who knows how they would be tortured after being caught? No one agreed to Qin Tianming going out for a decisive battle.

Qin Tianming didn't plan to go out and die in the first place. With the obstruction of that group of people, he stayed in the gully for nine days. The Rakshasa woman finally ran out of patience.

In order to force Qin Tianming out, the Rakshasa woman kidnapped all the villagers of Stone Prison Village, killing people while howling and cursing in the mountains. As long as Qin Tianming didn't come out, she would keep killing people until she killed the entire village.

"I was also among the villagers kidnapped by the Rakshasa woman. Every day, I watched my fellow villagers being tortured to death by the Rakshasa woman using cruel methods, including my family, just because Qin Tianming was like a turtle hiding in its shell. Our entire village was slaughtered. I was entangled by old vines on the mountain and, by a twist of fate, exchanged my life with the old vines. The Rakshasa woman mistook the vines for me, and I escaped.

Later, Qin Tianming finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack, leading people to rush out and destroy the Rakshasa woman. However, none of the people in our village could come back to life. I will never be able to forget their dying screams.

So I hate, I want revenge, even if some people have accumulated virtue and done good deeds all their lives, and only made that one mistake, I will still kill them without mercy.

The disaster in our village was brought by them. They all deserve to die."
