Chapter 315: Chapter 202 Wuzuo Hall Master_3At this moment, Zhou Xuan, through the windshield, spotted the eerie woman Liu Qingguang had mentioned. The woman resembled the obsessive spirits Zhou Xuan had seen before. Her face was divided into many color patches, pieced together like a mosaic. Yet, despite the distortion, Zhou Xuan instantly recognized her. "Sister Xia?!" He was unwilling to believe that the woman ahead was Lin Xia, but his eyes couldn’t deceive him. "Knock, knock, knock." Liu Qingguang, who had been waiting for some time, lightly tapped on Zhou Xuan’s car window. Zhou Xuan didn’t hear the knocking—his eyes were blankly fixed on Lin Xia. "How could this be? She was fine just yesterday." Just yesterday, Lin Xia made an agreement with Zhou Xuan: the Liao Ghost Hall would operate under his control, and Zhou Xuan would teach them the Teeth Cultivation Technique. In just one day, had they truly become separated by life and death? "Junior Brother..." Lv Mingkun noticed Zhou Xuan’s strange behavior and gently patted his shoulder. "Fifth Senior Brother, you and Liu Qingguang head to a café nearby. I need some time to take care of something alone." Zhou Xuan only wanted to stay in the car and calm down. Lv Mingkun nodded, got out of the car, and walked toward a street-side café with Liu Qingguang’s arm over his shoulder. Zhou Xuan bowed his head, rubbing his face with both hands as he sighed heavily. "Fate is so unpredictable, so deeply unpredictable." The Wash Away Injustice Talisman was trembling, indicating that Lin Xia bore a great injustice. From Zhou Xuan’s prior experiences, obsessive spirits capable of summoning the talisman likely suffered gruesome deaths in life. This meant that during the process of washing away the injustice, Zhou Xuan would relive Lin Xia’s death scene. Seeing a familiar person transition from life to death—this emotional torment was unbearably heavy. While rubbing his face, Zhou Xuan mentally prepared himself. Finally, when he felt ready, he lifted his head and found Lin Xia’s lips moving. Judging from the shape of her lips, she was saying, "Benefactor, redress my injustice." "Wash away injustice." Gritting his teeth, Zhou Xuan focused his thoughts, and four words appeared on the Wash Away Injustice Talisman—"Extract Bones, Wash Away Injustice." "Sister Xia’s obsession is titled ’Extract Bones’..." Seeing the title, Zhou Xuan immediately guessed the cause of her death. Sensing that Zhou Xuan was about to help redress her injustice, Lin Xia walked toward One Mansion. Zhou Xuan got out of the car and followed Lin Xia to the mansion’s entrance. Lin Xia passed through the door and entered the house, while Zhou Xuan reached out to twist the doorknob. He couldn’t turn it; the door was locked. Based on his past experiences, Zhou Xuan could wait for Lin Xia to "extend" a hand through the door. As long as he grasped her hand, he would be "pulled" inside the house. But Zhou Xuan was in an awful mood and didn’t want to wait; he kicked the doorlock with two heavy blows. The door flew open, catching the attention of two or three nearby pedestrians, who looked at Zhou Xuan like he was a "thief." "What are you staring at? Mind your own business." Zhou Xuan glared fiercely at the pedestrians, then entered the house, slamming the door shut behind him to block out all noise. Walking inside, he saw Lin Xia standing beside the telephone stand, the cord connecting the receiver and the base had been severed. No need to ask—this was where Lin Xia had died. Zhou Xuan pulled out the Wash Away Injustice Talisman, opened it, unscrewed his pen, and, together with Lin Xia, gripped the pen to write: One Mansion, Mingjiang Prefecture, September 7. A flash of white light enveloped him, and Zhou Xuan entered the time-space rift, witnessing Lin Xia’s brutal death at the hands of the Suffering Scholar—her tusks extracted, her throat torn apart. Every sentence spoken by the Suffering Scholar echoed clearly in his ears. "The one who killed Sister Xia is also a Bone Elder; he even taunted her with her daughter. Truly a beast." Through the severed telephone cord Bone Token, Zhou Xuan recognized the killer was a Bone Elder. But he didn’t know the specific identity of this Bone Elder. He didn’t recognize the Suffering Scholar either. The only time Zhou Xuan had seen the Suffering Scholar was at a Bone Elder Gathering, and even then, the scholar had worn the Divine Office Mask. "Bone Elder, you won’t survive today." Zhou Xuan smashed through the time-space rift with a punch, returning to reality. Lin Xia’s obsession, like others, knelt before Zhou Xuan, then fifteen figures emerged from her body. Among them, Zhou Xuan recognized Feng Xigui, the Liao Ghost Hall Master... "The Liao Ghosts were all slaughtered by that Bone Elder." Anger roiled inside Zhou Xuan. "This Bone Elder isn’t ordinary. Slaughtering so many Liao Ghosts—he must have been fixated on their tusks, likely intending to use them to help his godson ascend the ’Seven Incenses.’ A Bone Elder with a ’Seven Incenses’ godson... who could it be?" Zhou Xuan decided to first uncover the Bone Elder’s identity. He sat cross-legged and entered the Secret Realm Feiyue. "Old Li, I need to descend." "High Priest, everything is ready. You may descend." A flash of brilliance later, Zhou Xuan entered Li Chengfeng’s body. "Old Li, the design on the Bone Token depicts a scholar whose body is covered in rotting sores. Whose token is this?" "The Suffering Scholar." "Does the Suffering Scholar have a godson?" "Never heard of a godson, but I’ve heard he’s closely associated with the City God Temple’s Hall Master." "Where is the Hall Master now? And where is the Suffering Scholar?" "The Hall Master is at the City God Main Hall. During the day, the Suffering Scholar is usually at home." "Where is his home?" Zhou Xuan asked. "The Scholar’s Manor at Nineteen Shop," Li Chengfeng replied. Zhou Xuan quickly ran through his options in his mind, then said, "Old Li, can you summon the City God’s Qing Feng?" "I couldn’t before, but I can now." Li Chengfeng was now a Heavenly God Scholar, his status and power within the Bone Elder Association significantly enhanced. "Send Qing Feng and the night watchman to monitor the Hall Master. Once this is done, come to the Scholar’s Manor so we can kill the Suffering Scholar together." Zhou Xuan’s plan shocked Li Chengfeng. "High Priest, why kill him?" "He slaughtered all the Liao Ghosts last night. I will give him a taste of revenge—an eye for an eye." Zhou Xuan declared.
