“Who is she to my senior, that she’s crying even harder than me?”
Li Yanqing thought to himself.
“No, I can’t cry anymore. Only children cry. My brother-in-law wouldn’t want to see me like this.’
Pei Xiangyun wiped tears from the corner of her eyes and sniffed, determinedly saying, “I have to tell my sister about this news so she can find someone from Limitless Immortal Sect to avenge my brother-in-law!”
Only someone from the Immortal Sect could deal with this devil, who was an incredibly terrifying power.
“Brother-in-law, take care, and wait for my return.”
Before leaving, Pei Xiangyun softly spoke to Zhao Huai, who lay on the ground with his eyes closed.
She then said to Li Yanqing next to her:
“Hey, Mister Li, I’m leaving my brother-in-law in your care. No mistakes allowed.”
Li Yanqing was taken aback when he heard her call out to him.
How did she know his family name?
Pei Xiangyun had thoroughly investigated her brother-in-law, even about the people he had contact with and what he usually did.
After giving her instructions, Pei Xiangyun quickly ran out without looking back.
However, just as Pei Xiangyun left, Li Yanqing suddenly discovered a piece of paper in Zhao Huai’s collar.
Upon a closer look, it turned out to be a black talisman covered in strange symbols.
“What is this?”
Li Yanqing picked up the talisman, curious.
Within an ordinary mansion in Jinzhou City.
A man in white lay motionless on a bed.
A black talisman was affixed to his chest.
The next moment, something unexpected happened.
Spiritual qi from all around gathered and contracted onto the man in white, causing the black talisman to shatter. A pair of sharp eyes suddenly opened.
He sat up.
His handsome face was quite eye-catching.
This man was none other than Zhao Huai, who, to everyone else, was already dead.
“I’m alive.”
After waking up, Zhao Huai still felt somewhat dazed.
He wasn’t dead!
However, the realistic immersion brought about by the talisman had left him disoriented.
He laughed, his laughter containing three parts self-mockery and seven parts anger.
“Old devil, I, Zhao Huai, will remember this enmity.” Zhao Huai said indifferently.
“Your Highness, it seems to have been a success.”
A crisp voice sounded by the room door.
Yin Nanyu stood at the door, her face wearing a faint smile.
“Indeed, it’s all thanks to your talisman and the fake body. Otherwise, I would have been dead.”
Zhao Huai said with great emotion.
If he had been the one subjected to the spiritual pressure from the old devil, his mind would have been invaded, and he would have become the old devil’s vessel.
However, that was not him; it was merely a stand-in.
Earlier in the day, he had asked Yin Nanyu how to avoid this disaster.
Her answer was to create a stand-in, a fake body that could fool everyone.
The old devil had only used his flowing qi to lock onto Zhao Huai, not knowing who he really was.
As long as they created a stand-in carrying Zhao Huai’s qi, they could lure out whoever was behind this and find out who was trying to kill him.
As for Zhao Huai himself, he was disguised by a fox demon’s life-bound magical skill, the thousand-faced human skin.
It was hard to see any flaws unless one looked closely.
“I’ve never heard of your Birdy Sect’s concealing technique being able to hide one’s fate as well.”
Zhao Huai thought about it and couldn’t help but feel relieved.
This concealment technique, which hid one’s flowing qi, was a sect secret that Yin Nanyu had taught him.
“Alas, it’s because of these secret techniques that my Birdy Sect has been destroyed.”
Yin Nanyu’s eyes were filled with sorrow.
This qi hiding technique was a divine skill passed down to her by the Crow Immortal.
The people of the Immortal Sect would always hunt down the demonic and crooked sects in the Immortal Cultivation World based on the residual qi to prevent them from seizing the perpetuation.
If it weren’t for this divine skill, the Raven Sect wouldn’t have survived until today.
When it came to hiding and manipulating fate, consuming and taking a part of it, she was very proficient.
“Your Highness, what does the person trying to kill you want?”
Yin Nanyu couldn’t help but ask, looking at Zhao Huai’s side profile.
“It seems to be for the Ancestral Weapon.”
Zhao Huai pondered for a moment and said hesitantly.
“The Ancestral Weapon?”
Hearing this news, Yin Nanyu’s face was also somewhat surprised.
“Do you know about the Ancestral Weapon?”
Zhao Huai looked at her, his eyes full of questions.
Yin Nanyu nodded, “A hundred years ago, its existence began to spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World. The Ancestral Weapon is Ancestor Yan Zu’s life-bound magical treasure, and it’s said to have been refined into an immortal tool. It contains the secrets to becoming an immortal. The one who obtains it can become a Taoist Immortal.”
“I see.”
Zhao Huai held his chin, muttering to himself.
But why would they come looking for him?
He didn’t know where the Ancestral Weapon was either.
Yet, the old devil couldn’t have found him for no reason.
There must be more to it than meets the eye.
After contemplating, Zhao Huai freed himself from the shadow of the old devil and sighed:
“The pawnshop owner is dead…”
“But the Crown Prince of Yan is still alive.”
