“Burial?”

Yun Mengxi grumbled: “Why bother burying her for these Asura Sect scums? Just let the Spirits Management Bureau people take her away or throw her in the wild to feed the dogs… Why so troublesome?”

“Heaven cherishes all life, death is like the snuffing of a lamp, the past like mist. Since she’s dead, let’s give her a proper resting place.”

Xu Yang spoke in a compassionate tone.

Since he had already decided, the women naturally would not oppose his decision.

He immediately went to the landlord’s room and asked, “Could you lend me a sheet, sir?”

“Alt!”

The landlord was a bit nervous at the sight of Xu Yang, and without saying a word, he pulled the sheet from his bed. It was his wife who had a bit more courage and came out of the kitchen saying, “Thank you for your help last night. If it wasn’t for you, my husband and I might have already been harmed.”

“A simple favor, hardly worth mentioning,”

Xu Yang said: “Besides, they were originally after me, you just got involved. It’s me who should apologize.”

The woman asked again, “Who are you, really?”

The landlord was also puzzled.

He had been running a guesthouse for seven or eight years.

But, the guests during this period were a bit unusual—fighting, killing, and brawling, making him feel that the world was unreal.

Xu Yang smiled and said, “We’re kind of like martial artists… You can think of us as similar to those in martial arts movies. It’s just that nowadays, those not in this circle wouldn’t know about the martial world.”

As he was leaving, he remembered something and said, “By the way, landlord, we accidentally damaged the wall of your room yesterday. Check how much it would cost for repairs and deduct it from the deposit… If it’s not enough, I’ll pay for the rest.”

Back at their room, Xu Yang wrapped the Black Rose’s body in the sheet and carried it to the inn’s parking lot, cramming it directly into the trunk.

At Xu Yang’s insistence, Yun Mengxi, Liu Shishi, Yue Yuluo, and Yang Yin also got in the car.

“What’s the deal?”

As soon as Yun Mengxi got on the car, she began to complain: “Burying a corpse and dragging us all along? You’re a grown man, can’t you bury her yourself?”

Xu Yang didn’t explain.

He was afraid that the “Black Rose” might hear it.

He drove the car to the outskirts and casually chose a spot. After getting out of the car, he took out a shovel he had bought along the way, and soon dug a pit that was one meter wide, two meters long, and two meters deep.

He carried the body from the trunk, kicked it into the pit, and said, “Infinite Heavenly Venerate, Black Rose, I hope you become a good person in your next life.”

After saying that, he began filling the pit with dirt.

In a short time, a mound had been formed.

Xu Yang went through the whole ritual. He cut down a nearby tree, shaped it into a wooden tombstone, inscribed “Tomb of Asura Sect’s Black Rose” on it, and planted it in front of the mound. He then lit three incense sticks and observed three minutes of silence before saying, “Alright, let’s go back for dinner.”

Back in the car,

Yun Mengxi complained, saying, “When did you become so soft-hearted, Harrison? You need to be ruthless… She was an Asura Sect assassin, you killed her, and not only did you not grind her bones to dust, but you also went through the trouble of burying her?”

Even Liu Shishi and Yue Yuluo found it strange.

Xu Yang chuckled and whispered, “Stop complaining for now; we still have something to do later.”

“What’s that?”

The women asked simultaneously.

“Help me catch… a ghost!”

After driving 500 meters, Xu Yang slammed on the brakes and said, “I have seen with the Heavenly Eye Talisman that the Black Rose’s shewolf spirit has turned into a ghost, but she hasn’t shown herself… She’s probably afraid that even after becoming a vengeful ghost, she still won’t escape from our grasp.”

As soon as he said this, Yun Mengxi’s eyes lit up and said, “I understand; you’re even more of a sinister and evil person than her. You want to bury her, pretend to leave, and then secretly come back to catch her off guard, right?”

Yue Yuluo clapped her hands in admiration, and Yang Yin said, “Isn’t this just like guarding a corpse in a game?”

Even the usually calm Liu Shishi couldn’t help laughing, “I’m looking forward to seeing her face when she realizes we haven’t left… Xu Yang, what should we do next?”

“From the fact that she turned into a ghost without showing herself, it’s clear that Black Rose is cautious by nature… In that case, we can’t expose ourselves, or she might detect our presence.”

Xu Yang pondered for a few seconds, then instructed, “You will hide your presence and conceal yourselves around her grave.”

Liu Shishi and Yue Yuluo nodded in agreement, while Yang Yin disappointedly said, “Boss, my cultivation is too weak, and she was a martial arts Grandmaster. Once she becomes a vengeful ghost, she’ll probably be at the level of Red Robe. I’m afraid she might sense me.”

Xu Yang flipped his hand and took out a stone bead from his storage space, saying, “This is a Yin Treasure I got from a ghost during the Ghost Hunting Competition. It can help you conceal your presence.”

“Yin Treasure?”

“Really a Yin Treasure?”

Liu Shishi and Yue Yuluo both looked intrigued, taking turns to check it out. Even Yun Mengxi couldn’t help but say, “You’re really lucky… Participating in a Daoist event, and you actually got a Yin Treasure?”

She reached out and took the Yin Treasure from Xu Yang, examining it closely, and then exclaimed with surprise, “It’s the Soul Condensing Bead! This thing is even more valuable than regular Yin Treasures!”

“Soul Condensing Bead?”

Yue Yuluo opened her cherry mouth slightly in shock and said, “Is this the legendary Soul Condensing Bead? It is said that the Chiyan Ghost King of the Ghost Market has one of these, which is why he was able to cultivate from a vengeful ghost to the Ghost King level in just over a decade!”

Liu Shishi and Yang Yin didn’t seem to know what the “Soul Condensing Bead” was.

That was normal.

Yun Mengxi had lived for nearly a thousand years, and during her life, she practiced esoteric arts, which made her very knowledgeable.

Yue Yuluo’s sister happened to be one of the managers of the Ghost Market, so her knowledge couldn’t be compared to that of ordinary ghosts… As for Liu Shishi and Yang Yin, their knowledge and experience were lacking.

“This Soul Condensing Bead has the function of condensing Yin spirits and nurturing powerful souls.”

“With my current strength, if I were to cultivate within the Soul Condensing Bead, I could reach the Ghost King level in at most two years!”

Yue Yuluo said, “Yinyin is only a step away from Red Robe. If she cultivates with the help of the Soul Condensing Bead, she will probably advance to Red Robe soon.”

“Really?”

Yang Yin was overjoyed and said, “Thankyou, Boss.”

Xu Yang handed the “Soul Condensing Bead” to Yang Yin, and secretly glanced at Liu Shishi and Yue Yuluo with the corner of his eye, and said, “Shishi, Yuluo, Yang Yin’s cultivation is too weak, so let her use this Soul Condensing Bead first. Later, you can discuss how to share it, and I will help you find more Yin treasures later.”

The two women naturally had no objections.

It was Yun Mengxi who, upon hearing Xu Yang say this, snorted a few times and said, “Do you think Yin treasures are just cabbage? Can you find them whenever you want?”

Her expression seemed a bit jealous.

Xu Yang immediately changed the subject and said, “Alright, there’s no time to lose. Let’s go guard the corpse now, so we won’t let that little vixen escape… By the way, Yun Mengxi, can you conceal your figure?”

” Who are you looking down on?”

Yun Mengxi replied, “With my strength, if I conceal my aura, even if I stand right in front of her, she won’t be able to see me.”

One man, three ghosts, and a corpse got out of the car and quietly went towards the tomb.

Liu Shishi and Yue Yuluo completely concealed their figures and auras. Seeing this, Yang Yin also used the Soul Condensing Bead to hide her aura and figure.

Yun Mengxi somehow used some secret technique, and her aura suddenly disappeared.

Xu Yang turned his head to look and found that she was clearly right beside him, but he couldn’t sense her at all. Unless Hei Meigui transformed into a fierce ghost and ran out of the tomb, there was no possibility of discovering Yun Mengxi.

Xu Yang himself retracted his aura and took out an Invisibility Talisman to put on his body.

They came to the front of the tomb and surrounded it.

At the same time.

Inside the tomb.

Inside Hei Meigui’s body.

The weak “Yin spirit” began to gradually grow stronger, and slowly took on the appearance of Hei Meigui… and it wasn’t clear whether it was due to habit or something else, but the Yin spirit even specifically transformed a fox mask on its face.

Her surroundings were pitch black.

Fortunately, at this moment, Hei Meigui was already a ghost… otherwise, with the tomb sealed so tightly, and even Xu Yang jumping and stomping on it earlier, any living person would have suffocated to death.

However, even so, Hei Meigui was still very cautious. Instead of using her own corpse’s blood and flesh to nourish her Yin spirit, she thought: “Xu Yang has already killed one of our Asura Sect’s Silver Badge killers… Furthermore, he is the deputy director of the Xi Xia branch of the Supernatural Affairs Bureau. He must know something about our Asura Sect’s secret techniques.”

“I hid within my corpse and did not reveal myself… It’s not a certainty that I have truly deceived them.”

She heard the sound of the vehicles outside leaving.

But…

She had a habit of first making a “Hypothetical Assumption”.

If… Xu Yang comes back, what should I do’].”

“Wait!”

“I’ve been trained as a killer since I was a child, and I’m used to waiting. I once hid motionless in a cramped closet for 18 hours in order to hunt down a target, and even stayed hidden on the roof of a building for three days and nights!”

“It’s now the afternoon.”

“I’ll wait until evening, and if there’s still no movement, I’ll come out!”

“If there’s movement outside when evening comes… then continue to wait!”

“Our Asura Sect’s secret technique has a seven-day time limit. Within these seven days, absorbing my own blood and flesh can nourish my Yin spirit to the greatest extent… I don’t believe he, Xu Yang, can wait for seven days!”

Hei Meigui’s Yin spirit secretly thought.

Of course.

All of this was based on a hypothetical assumption. If there was no movement outside, she could escape tonight!

She had patience.

She waited, silently calculating the time.

Outside, Xu Yang sat in front of the tomb, extremely bored.

He only cursed himself for not bringing headphones, or else he could have watched some videos to pass the time.

On the side.

Yun Mengxi was bored and wanted to talk, but Xu Yang gestured for her to be quiet, so she could only roll her eyes.

One person, three ghosts, and a corpse waited from the afternoon until the sun set, then until the evening, and even until midnight.

“Damn it!”

“Is this a joke?”

Xu Yang gritted his teeth and thought, “This bastard can really be so patient? At most, I’ll wait another five minutes. If she doesn’t come out, I’ll dig up her grave… Huh?”

Just at that moment.

The air suddenly turned cold.

Underneath the tomb, a sinister and gloomy aura suddenly erupted, growing stronger and rapidly evolving!

Inside the tomb.

Hei Meigui absorbed her own corpse’s blood and flesh, and the Yin energy on her body gradually grew stronger.

“There’s no movement outside the tomb. It seems that Xu Yang didn’t stay to guard the corpse… It makes sense. Someone like him, who is a Daoist practitioner and may have achieved Dao, doesn’t seem like the type to do something like guarding a corpse.”
