ile and arrogant animal before. I wanted to see what Xiaonie was going to do, so I told the Yinli: "You guys go rest first, I'll finish covering these up and call you when I'm done."The subordinate of...I took a deep breath and calmed myself down. I had never seen this man before. Wasn't he Lin Yanqin's "old classmate"

How did I become your enemy

However, Lin Yanqin's old classmates definitely don't have the ability to make such a fuss.

Perhaps Cheng Yi is just a shell A normal person couldn't suddenly turn into a demon.

If there were no Cheng Yi in this world, why would Lin Yanqin call out that name

The situation quickly flashed through my mind.

Lin Yanqin wouldn't hide anything from us. Her relationship with my brother has stood the test of time. Besides, harming us wouldn't benefit her or the Lin family.

Besides, the Mu family has been cleared now, and I've also become a special advisor. If they harm us, the Lin family won't be able to escape responsibility either.

At that time…

It seemed Lin Yanqin had thought for ages but still couldn't figure out who Cheng Yi was. It wasn't until the bodyguard she'd bought water from called out "Master Cheng" that she finally knew.

Could the problem be with this bodyguard

Lin Yanqin was still puzzled by two things at the time: first, how did Cheng Yi know her whereabouts and perfectly avoid everyone else in her family.

Second, how could Cheng Yi, whom she hadn't seen in years, suddenly appear in the south Was he really trying to curry favor with her by climbing the social ladder But they weren't really close friends before.

Engagement is a major life event for Lin Yanqin and my brother, and she doesn't have much energy to investigate Cheng Yi's "coincidence".

Ke Chengyi's true purpose was actually me

"Do we have any grudges I don't remember ever meeting you," I asked in a low voice.

He grinned wickedly at me, his mouth stretched wide: “I’ve already shifted the space here. You can’t waste time, nobody can save you.”

Space transformation When

He smiled smugly: “This time, I can finally just sit back and wait for them to come to me.”

"What do you mean" I asked, frowning.

He smiled, his voice a low growl. "You, you're always surrounded by people, rarely alone... It's hard to wait for you to come crawling to me, I missed several chances... Now you've grown stronger, no longer afraid, others trust you to act alone. Finally, I thought of a way to lure you here..."

"Mu Xiaqiao, you have a peaceful and unassuming nature. Intimidation or temptation, even creating misunderstandings, wouldn't make your blood rush to your head. But I discovered your weakness... You are incredibly devoted to your father and siblings. Using them will be twice as effective... And your brother's weakness lies with Lin Yanqin!"

"This body of Cheng Yi is one I received overseas many years ago. Hehehe…I never expected it would come in handy…”

Body!

How could I not feel even a trace of something amiss

"Surprising Hahaha, because there's only one layer of skin left! Do you think that idiot learned the human-skin straw magic from someone" Cheng Yi's laughter was wild, his face looking like it was about to split apart.

"Silly boy Are you talking about Situ Lin"

Cheng Yi's face twisted into a mocking smile: "It's him... yet it's not him..."

"Who exactly are you" I couldn't help but ask, "Mrs. Situ Not just that The core members of the Situ family are all products of soul refining, all their evil intentions and efforts have been poured into the Situ family! Which one of them are you!"

Cheng Yi smiled and raised an eyebrow: "All things have a beginning and an end... The evil you speak of couldn't have just popped out of a stone... Separating souls, refining them, the Ghost Marsh path, transforming corpses into demons... These skills weren't something he was born with!"

What does this mean Could it be that the thing inside Cheng Yi's body was bred by an old, evil Daoist and taught him many evil arts Is it the mother and master of the old, evil Daoist

"You think the master he refers to is his master A joke! I am the true master of the corpse refiners, that village was founded by me! It's a shame these disciples are so incompetent, they need me to help them from behind the scenes..." He said in a tone of exasperation.

"During that year's famine, I was secretly concocting zombie demons and needed a lot of corpses. So I sent him and his disciples out to find those who had died from starvation or lured starving disaster victims to fill the zombie demon's body! But one of his disciples turned out to be a cowardly traitor! Otherwise, how could he have died in Huangdao Village! And was even used to make meat soup, hahaha... He deserved it!"

"You're all too naive! Didn't you ever think about why he could still have an undying spirit after being eaten If I hadn't protected him beforehand, both he and his disciples would have been taken away!" Madam Situ roared.

I rubbed my temples, yes, the soul-extraction refinement technique. It's impossible that the old evildoer would refine his own soul, right

Because he still had apprentices who became ghosts at the time, the understanding at the time was: his disciples performed a ritual for him.

I never expected that "Mrs. Situ," who had always been low-key and hidden behind the scenes, would turn out to be such a remarkable person.

No wonder Lin Yanhuan and Jiang Qiyun couldn't find her in both the yin and yang realms.

She was literally a monster that didn't belong in the normal world.

Perhaps the reason why the zombie cultivator's master ancestor could become a figure of faith is because of her mystery.

Now that the Corpse Refining village is destroyed, even if she kills me, she won't be able to make a comeback.

"You kidnapped me to bargain with Jiang Qiyun and Lin Yanhuan" I shook my head. "Those two men are not easy to deal with, they won't succumb to threats or inducements. Using me as leverage is unwise."

"Humph, how is that possible Even the most skilled man will submit to a woman's wiles. This talent of yours is surely innate..."

"Heh... then you've miscalculated. Compared to Lin Yanhuan's peaceful world and Jiang Qiyun's destined path, I am insignificant. And I won't give you the opportunity to threaten them—"

As I spoke, I dashed towards the man with the gun.

Although guns are terrifying, there's always a glimmer of hope, and not everyone has the exceptional marksmanship of the Lin siblings.

Looking at his shooting stance just now, it's not up to Lin Yanqin's standard yet.

Bang!

Another tiny gunshot.

A bullet hit the partition door behind me, and the casing fell to the ground with a sharp click.

At this moment, I uttered the incantation to shatter the boundary—

If a barrier is impacted by a force field, or if the person who set up the barrier has wavering thoughts, the barrier will tremble slightly. This is the opportune moment to break it!

A sudden gunshot made "Mrs. Situ" startle slightly, an opportunity!

I still remember my uncle single-handedly firing a gun and using hand gestures to break the boundary with such swagger. Thinking back now, his purpose in wielding the gun wasn't to harm anyone, but to shake the barrier's energy field and then forcefully dispel it... Thanks to him, he taught me this technique.

Mrs. Situ was still hiding behind the door, using Cheng Yi's body, she revealed a ferocious expression and growled: "Hmph... That fool with a hundred years of cultivation was destroyed by your hands... I thought he was incredibly stupid before! I didn't expect you to have some courage!"

Before I could even speak, I felt the familiar chill. Jiang Qiyun had been waiting for me to break through for so long that he was getting impatient —

Jiang Qiyun glared at me with displeasure, and said coldly: "What's a hundred years of cultivation This old man has thousands of years of cultivation, didn't he also fall into her hands——"his indescribable emotion.I could feel his muscles tense, my body seeming to be trapped in a cage.The cage tightened, a wave of pressure surging through it, making it hard to breathe."... Yin Luo." Hi...
