“What?”
“My grandpa didn’t die?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang felt joy in his heart: “That’s right, my grandpa was a Daoist cultivator; his powerfulness could be seen from the genuine evil-breaking talisman he made. He couldn’t have died so easily…”
The old man supposedly died from a sudden illness.
At that time, Xu Yang was still in school, and when he received the news and rushed to the hospital, his grandpa was already on his deathbed.
“But…”
“1 saw him take his last breath on the hospital bed, and I personally helped him with the funeral, putting him in the coffin and burying him!”
At this moment, Xu Yang’s mind was in chaos!
Was it a fake death?
If it was indeed a fake death, why didn’t he tell me?
Didn’t he fear that 1 would send him to the crematorium to be burned after the funeral?
He slapped him once again.
“Wang Wei, are you fucking trying to fool me?”
“I personally put the old man’s body into the coffin, and I nailed each and every nail into the coffin lid myself!”
Xu Yang grabbed Wang Wei’s collar angrily and said, “I witnessed my grandpa’s coffin being buried, and I was the one who shoveled the first mound of dirt… You dug up my grandpa’s bones and now you want to deceive me?”
These words were said on purpose.
Xu Yang’s knowledge about his grandpa’s background was all speculation.
Wang Wei clearly knew something.
Perhaps he could deceive something useful out of him.
“Lady Ghost, collect his master’s soul for me. When we go back, refine it into a minor demon and suppress it under a vinegar jar so that he can never be reincarnated!”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Wei became even more anxious, shouting: “Xu Yang, don’t! My master had no choice but to work for the Lu Shan Sect… 1 don’t know the specifics of the situation!”
“I only heard Master Chen say that your grandpa’s name is Xu Zhiyuan, and he was the sect leader of Jingming Sect twenty years ago, controlling Xishan Wanshou Palace. He was a rare master in the Daoist world, with a cultivation level reaching the Divine Realm, and having a much longer lifespan than ordinary people. He couldn’t possibly die so easily!”
“Such high-level masters wouldn’t rot so easily even after death!”
“As for that set of bones… It’s at my home now. As long as you release my master, 1’11 fetch them for you immediately!”
“Oh?”
Xu Yang’s eyes flickered.
So the old man’s name was Xu Zhiyuan.
It seemed that his guess was correct. Xu Guanghui was just a false name used to hide his real identity.
Jingming Sect leader, Divine Realm master, controller of Xishan Wanshou Palace…
Any single one of these titles would qualify him as a “boss” in the martial world, let alone when all three were combined in one person?
“Xu Yang!”
“Perhaps your grandpa really isn’t dead!”
Lady Ghost’s voice reached Xu Yang’s ears: “Being able to cultivate Dao skills to the Divine Realm means they are almost immune to all illnesses, can live for two to three hundred years without any problem, and will not die so easily.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yang motioned for Lady Ghost to release Wang Wei’s bindings.
Wang Wei landed on the ground, coughing up blood.
He looked at his master, who was being toyed with like a ball by Lady Ghost, before entering the room and taking out a black suitcase.
He placed it on the floor.
Unzipping the suitcase.
The first thing that came into view was a white skull.
Xu Yang wanted to throw himself over and yell “Grandpa!”, but considering that the old man might not be dead… and also that a pile of white bones was rather creepy, he quickly zipped up the suitcase.
“Can you release my master now?”
He looked at Lady Ghost.
But Lady Ghost looked at Xu Yang.
Xu Yang took the suitcase and said with a smile, “Don’t worry… 1 still have a few questions to ask you. Who exactly are Master Chen and Mr. Lin? Why do they want to snatch the Supreme Purification Seal?!”
“Mr. Lin and my master are elders of the Lu Shan Sect. They’re looking for you to steal the Supreme Purification Seal… This matter involves the power struggle between your Jingming Sect and the Lu Shan Sect. You should know more about it than 1 do, right?”
Wang Wei glanced at Xu Yang, his face full of doubt.
Who in the martial world didn’t know that the Lu Shan Sect and Jingming Sect originally shared the same origin?
You’re asking me, an outsider who has just joined the Lu Shan Sect for less than 24 hours, about your own family’s affairs?
Xu Yang:”.. ”
1 know nothing about it!
I only learned about Jingming Sect and Lu Shan Sect from Baidu Encyclopedia!
“How many people are in the Lu Shan Sect?”
“What are their plans?”
“And what’s going on with the power struggle?”
Wang Wei shook his head and said, “Our northwestern martial arts world doesn’t have much contact with the southern martial arts world… The power struggle between the Lu Shan Sect and Jingming Sect happened 20 years ago, and 1 only heard my master mention it once.”
He knew nothing about it.
So, why bother asking?!
Xu Yang looked at Wang Wei, a flame flickering at his fingertip.
Wang Wei’s face changed drastically, and he retreated several steps in disbelief: “Are you going to kill me?”
“Even if those bones aren’t my grandpa’s, you digging up my grandpa’s grave is a fact… You and your master are working for the Lu Shan Sect, stealing the relics left by my grandpa. If it weren’t for the Ghost King in my house, you would’ve succeeded, and I might’ve been dead too!”
“Besides, you followed a Lu Shan Sect Daoist as your master, and your master died because of me. Shouldn’t 1 kill you instead of letting you live past the New Year?”
“By now, do you still want to live?”
Xu Yang coldly said: “Although I’m a novice Daoist cultivator, 1 still understand the concept of cutting weeds without removing the roots will only lead to them growing back under the spring breeze!”
With a wave of his hand, the fireball in his hand flew out towards Wang Wei!
Whoosh!
As soon as the fireball was thrown, it suddenly grew in size, turning into a gigantic fireball the size of a washbasin!
Ni Ma Bi, a newbie Daoist cultivator!
Is this sort of fire control skill something a newbie Daoist cultivator can do?!
Wang Wei cursed silently, turning around to try and escape.
Unfortunately.
It was too late!
Lady Ghost pointed her jade hand in the air, immobilizing Wang Wei right on the spot.
Bang!
The fireball hit him, detonating instantly and igniting his clothes and flesh.
“Ahhhhhh!!!”
“Xu Yang!”
“I’ll never let you go even if I become a ghost!”
“I swear… I swear I’ll turn into a vicious ghost and crawl out of the ground to take revenge on you!”
Wang Wei let out a bone-chilling scream in pain.
But the courtyard was already enveloped by Lady Ghost’s Yin energy, and his screams couldn’t get out. Xu Yang didn’t take any of this low-level threat seriously!
Considering that this guy held such a grudge and had such strong evil energy.
It was very probable that he would turn into a vicious ghost after death.
So, he said lightly: “Wang Wei, oh Wang Wei, you actually dare say such words in front of a Daoist cultivator like me… Rest assured, I will hold a ceremony for you to help you pass on and ensure that your soul goes to the Underworld Palace without any chance of coming back for revenge.”
Meanwhile.
Wu City.
Funerary shop.
On Xu Yang’s bed, Ma Long slowly opened his eyes.
He was woken up by the ringing of his phone.
“Who am I?”
“Where am I?”
He was still dazed and seemingly forgot about the previous “encounter with a ghost”. He answered the phone, and after listening to the voice on the other end, he abruptly sat up from the bed.
“What?”
“I was in a car accident?”
