Chapter 54: Set Apart for Ten Years, By The Living And The Dead! (44)

The police rushed to the graveyard site upon receiving the information, immediately sealing the crime scene.

The Forensic examination reported that the victim died from excessive blood loss. There were forty-eight wounds on the victim’s body, and they were strange in that any sharp objects did not cause them, but they seemed… to be caused by scratches from a beast’s sharp claws.

The next day, the film crew went to identify the bodies with the police. Now, the unconscious Qin Su, who had been in a coma for the past few days, slowly woke up after drinking rune water given by Bai Yunzi.

“Little Yan! Little Yan!”

Qin Su shouted Zhang Yan’s name the moment he woke up, looked very panicked.

“Brother Qin! Are you alright, Brother Qin?”

Qin Su’s assistant hurried up to him with a concerned expression.

By then, Qin Su slowly started regaining his consciousness and senses. He realized he was back in Siheyuan, and a group of people now surrounded him, including his assistant, others from the film crew, and even…

“Senior Bai Yunzi!”

When he saw Bai Yunzi, his eyes lit up before he struggled to get off the bed. Suddenly, he kneeled on the ground and begged, “Senior, please save Little Yan! Please save her! A female ghost caught her! A female ghost caught her!”

Female ghost…

When everyone heard Qin Su’s words, their faces waned.

Bai Yunzi subconsciously stroked his white beard and looked at Qin Su with complex emotions. “Mr. Qin, please get up. I’ll naturally settle the matter of the female ghost. As a Taoist cultivator, exorcism is a part of my job.”

After he finished speaking, Bai Yunzi immediately waved his hand, signaling the assistant on the side to hold Qin Su up.

Bai Yunzi quietly walked out of the room with his disciple.

The weather in the fall was cold and fresh. Standing in the courtyard, one could see the blue sky.

The weather was obviously good, with bright sunlight and no clouds. But what Bai Yunzi saw was a different sight altogether—

He saw faint bloody red color, formed by demonic energy, engulfing the entire Zhang Clan Town. It looked like this cover had existed and developed over twenty-odd years.

But Zhang Clan Town had been fine until now because of the presence of another power in the sky.

There was a faint bright radiance in the sky, surrounding the entire Zhang Clan Town. It was also continuously absorbing the red demonic energy in the atmosphere.

The source of the bright radiance should be from…

Bai Yunzi could not help but look at the east-most side of the town before subconsciously stepping toward the source of the bright radiance.

Seeing Bai Yunzi leaving Siheyuan with Yang Ah Nuan, Ning Huanxin hastened her steps and followed them.

“Ning Huanxin.”

She did not know when Jiang Lixing had caught up with her. “What are you going to do? It’s dangerous to act alone now.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be following the Taoist Master and his disciple.”

Ning Huanxin could not help but rush towards Jiang Lixing with a smile. “Also, I know kung-fu, so what can happen to me? Why are you so concerned about me? Have you fallen for me?”

Jiang Lixing, “…”

Hearing Ning Huanxin’s words, Jiang Lixing lowered his eyelids subconsciously. “We are… friends. So I should care for you.”

“Yup, noted.”

Something flashed across Ning Huanxin’s eyes, and she suddenly grabbed Jiang Lixing’s hand, briskly walking forward. “Where do you think Taoist Master is heading? What’s there in that direction of the town?”

Seeing the Taoist Master’s expression as he headed eastward, Ning Huanxin was sure there must be some purpose behind his serious actions.
