Hearing what Wei Fuyuan blurted out when he came through the door, Su Lan was rendered speechless.

For a few seconds, she couldn’t even remember what kind of bracelet she wore at the wedding.

“You, you mean ……”

Su Lan blinked, her tear-stained eyelashes were trembling, “But… Ping Ping lent me that gold bracelet?”

She clutched the hem of her nightdress with trepidation.

“But …… th-that bracelet …… I didn’t bring it …….here…”

As soon as these words left her mouth, a crunching sound suddenly vocalized itself from above her head.

Su Lan heard some movements and reflexively raised her head. She saw, agape in shock, a chandelier was about to smash down on top of her.

“Ahhhh!!!”

She let out a miserable scream.

Jiang Nan’an was close-by to Su Lan, and he immediately responded- Taking the stance of a penalty save and instinctively rushed towards his ex lover.

“Boom!”

“Dang!”

The chandelier fell to the floor with a dramatic smash. A lampshade in the shape of a plum was also damaged, with broken shards of glass dispersing across the floor into hundreds of pieces. It was fairly obvious from the deafening movement alone, that if it had fallen directly onto someone, then it would have killed or seriously hurt them.

Jiang Nan’an and Su Lan fell backwards and landed on the sofa together. With the weight of the two of them and the momentum behind the pounce, the sofa instantly toppled over. Along with unconscious Cai Mingjian, the trio tumbled to the ground.

Jiang Nan’an protected Su Lan from injury, but he was unlucky enough to hit his head against the wall with some force.

As a result of the heavy blow, Jiang Nan’an’s eyes briefly flashed with a hazy golden facade, and he couldn’t see anything clearly..

When he shook his head violently to expel the confused flashes in his retinas, he was shocked to find that there was a black shadow in the room?: the very “thing” that he had thrown his coins at!

“Damn it!”

Comrade Xiao Jiang was simply going crazy.

——Is this the setting where when it rains, it pours!?

——Isn’t this chaotic enough!? How could the shadow that had already escaped, reappear at such a critical moment!?

He immediately took the Great Five Emperor Coins from his pocket, and without saying a word, he raised his hand to throw them at his target.

“Don’t!!!”

Wei Fuyuan hurriedly shouted.

“He is on our side!”

This little lynx was miserable enough. The female statue that he was originally attached to, had been smashed twice before, yet, it was luckily intact. If this time, Jiang Nan’an were to throw the two copper coins at it; its thousand-year cultivation this time might be completely wiped out.

Jiang Nan’an managed to stop himself in time.

He also saw the doorway in the corner of his hazy eyesight.

The black shadow rushed towards the “Will” that hovered within the house.

When facing Wei Fuyuan and Jiang Nan’an, the spirit of the lynx was as weak as a quail. It almost seemed like it was changing into another cat, almost presumably showing off its comparable ability to the ‘dao’.

The utter darkness along with the rustling ultraviolet rays surrounds the spirit. Focusing solely, it aimed for the “Will”, allowing the invisible power to be held onto the palm of its hand. With a tear and a tug, the spirit of the lynx tears the evil into pieces, eventually defeating it.

“Well done!”

Jiang Nan’an shouted from a distance. As he expelled this congratulatory greeting, he unconsciously jolted his injured arm from when he was hit by the fallen table, and immediately grimaced in pain.

After shredding the invisible “Will”, the black shadow landed lightly on the ground.

It then gave a curtsy bow to Wei Fuyuan, with that figure then dissipating.

Wei Fuyuan had seen the memories of the mountain cat spirit, and knew that the poor little feline was truly injured from the damage to the girl’s image from the host body. Her cultivation power had also suffered a lot of harm.

As the black shadow left, it presented its body language and posture as a sign of respect, as if to say “I’ll leave everything in your good hands.”

“All in all, it should be safe for the time being.”

Wei Fuyuan turned to both Jiang Nan’an and Su Lan, saying:

“How are you two now?”

As soon as she heard the words “safe for the time being”, Su Lan immediately let out an exasperated “ah” and turned around to jump to her husband’s side, checking on his current condition.

The back of Cai Mingjian’s head had been smashed by a hard object which left a deep wound. When she touched his head, the tips of her fingers and palm were covered with blood. To make things worse, Cai Mingjian? was still unconscious.

Su Lan became immediately frightened. Tears filled her eyes, and she did not know what to do.

“Call 120 first!”

Wei Fuyuan fished out his cell phone from his pocket, and dialed the emergency number.

“Let’s send Mr. Cai to the hospital, I will explain everything to you on the way!”

———————————

At the same time, in Zhu Hongtao’s villa, four police officers left the premises first with He Qiang’s body. Bei Quan, Qing Zhu, and A’Liu remained inside the secret basement.

They all stood still, looking down at the “thing” that was on the bed- The three were taking this situation very seriously.

No matter what angle they looked at it from, it was apparent that this was not something that could be casually displayed or revealed to the world, This sort of matter could only be handed over to an organization like the “Special Seven Field Service” to be taken care of.

When the police officers were present previously, an officer was curious, and craned his neck to take a look.He immediately was filled with shock and fright, almost to the point of losing consciousness.

In the bed, he saw something long and narrow, the overall size being similar to a porcelain pillow. The outer layer was covered with a dirty gray-yellow fabric, and when looking inside, he saw a lump of dark red meat. At first glance, it looked like a piece of stale pork that had been left outside for too long.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the police officer, the “meat” wrapped inside the cloth suddenly jerked.

The officer frowned and blinked firmly.

His first thought was perhaps there were small animals such as the mice underneath the “meat”.

However, immediately after this, the “meat” moved again.

“Thud!”

This time, the policeman saw clearly.

It was not a small animal. It was like a freshly disembodied heart, contracting and bulging, regularly beating rhythmically.

After realizing this, the police officer immediately turned pale with fear and took two steps backwards. It was difficult to restrain himself and impulsively, he wanted to scream.

“We will handle this, don’t worry.”

Qing Zhu held off the other three officers who wanted to come closer to the bed. “It is very dangerous, you can not handle it.”

The remaining police officers were very curious and wanted to know what this could possibly be.

However, as criminal police officers, their sixth sense silently cautioned them that? anything unprecedented could happen, so they shouldn’t be so bold.

After realizing their correct manner and form, they humbly accepted Qing Zhu’s request, and without saying anything more, they took He Qiang’s body, leaving the villa without curing their curiosity.

Once the police officers had left, Qing Zhu raised his chin towards the thing on the bed:

“Bei Quan, please explain.”

Qing Zhu’s mastery was very powerful- his own strength was also very strong. Otherwise, he would not have achieved his current position in the “Special Seven Field Service,” which was full of talented individuals and specialized people including scholars.

Since everyone had their own speciality, and his own understanding of heretics from unknown origins being limited, he specifically needed Bei Quan’s help and knowledge in this field.

Qing Zhu could only conclude that this piece of flesh may have been the end result of some kind of evil spell. Based on the ingredients used, the individual who produced it, had a heavy and strong intention

As for Miss A’Liu, as a member of the Liu family, she was actually a little afraid of? evil things like this.

She didn’t want to become involved. If it weren’t for the fact that the case was so severe, and? that the “superior” had paid special attention to it, strictly ordering the “Special Seven Field Service” to investigate matters until the very end.

“Have you ever heard of Hui Gui?”

Bei Quan turned to ask Qing Zhu and A’Liu.

The two nodded at the same time.

“Of course, I know.”

Qing Zhu replied.

“The vengeful ghosts have always been sealed in your Zhu Ling Secret Realm. Not too long ago, someone stole the sealed magic weapon from your Zhu Ling Secret Realm, and the vengeful ghosts began to appear in the world again.”

He glanced at Bei Quan.

“Moreover, I heard that you are ‘out of the mountain‘ at this time, in order to seal the raging ghosts that have strayed out one by one, right?”

For the “ability people” such as Bei Quan, their every move was under the surveillance of the “Special Seven Field Service.” Qing Zhu naturally knew when he would come, where he would stay, and what he would do.

Bei Quan nodded and asked another question.

“So, do you know the origin of the Hui Gui?”

Qing Zhu frowned slightly.

“To be honest, I don’t know much.”

He furrowed his brow as he thought seriously.

“I only know that they are ghosts, immortals by nature. What’s more……”

Qing Zhu paused, “It seems to have something to do with the shaman clan.”

“You’re right.”

Bei Quan smiled faintly.

“The Hui Guis were once sentient beings before they became immortal ghosts. It’s just that for some reason, their perceptions of spirit and physical body were different from ours, and went on to a very different destiny: they became vengeful ghosts that fed on negative emotions, while we reincarnated and multiplied from generation to generation.”

As he spoke, Bei Quan raised his chin towards the slightly writhing mass of “meat” on the bed.

“Now, it seems that someone wants to ‘breed’ these new vengeful ghosts using this method, you see.”

“What!?”

Qing Zhu, who was always calm and collected when hearing this answer, instantly changed his face.

“Are you saying that this thing is to raise new Hui Guis!?”

Bei Quan shook his head gently.

“Both yes and no.”

He continued to explain, using more accurate wording.

“I should say that someone tried to transform Xu Lei’s soul into a new raging ghost. It’s just a pity that he failed.”

Qing Zhu pondered deeply, looking down at the mass of “meat”, almost as if it was carrying a weapon.

“What you mean, is that Zhu Hongtao killed Xu Lei and Wang Baotai, and created this undead mass of flesh, just to transform Xu Lei’s three souls and seven spirits into a new raging ghost?”

Bei Quan hummed in response.

He began to carefully explain the origin of this “meat” to Qing Zhu and A’Liu.

The means used by Zhu Hongtao were very complicated, and the material used alone was extremely difficult to find.

Due to the characteristics of the raging ghosts, the “main material” of this technique must be three complete souls and seven souls with very strong spiritual power- any lack of soul or spirit was not allowed.

Then, the practitioner had to give the soul a “physical body”, usually a full term animal fetus, such as a pig, a dog, a cow, or a sheep.

The skin of the “flesh” was peeled off and then wrapped inside human skin.

In addition to all of this, the human skin must be exquisite. It must be a four-pillar pure Yin body, that was born in the overcast day, month and year. A pure iron knife is required when peeling the skin, and there were also requirements for where the knife had cut too.

After the materials were prepared, it was time to “breed”.

Bei Quan didn’t know whether Zhu Hongtao’s method was wrong, or something had gone wrong.But obviously, he had failed with his plan.

This “meat” in front of him, although still “alive”, had lost the possibility of transforming into a Hui Gui.
