Chapter 154

Late at night, Hongfu Huayuan.

Zhang Fan returned home and subconsciously looked at the clock hanging on the wall. The time had just reached eleven o'clock.

Usually at this time, Li Yishan had basically returned home and stayed behind closed doors.

This was a good habit he had developed over many years. It must be said that the family style was strict, almost becoming an eccentricity.

"【Elimination Fun Funeral Home】!?"

Zhang Fan's peripheral vision swept over, and a business card on the table came into view.

"Liu Xingyu!"

Zhang Fan picked up the business card. This was the business card brought back from the Elimination Fun Funeral Home with Sui Chunsheng and others last time.

Hearing Zhan Xinyue say that this "corpse burner" was quite popular on the Little Yellow Book. Compared to 【Millennium Old Demon】, he was better at marketing and building a persona.

A fresh meat who is proficient in Daoist spells, burning corpses and collecting ashes in the funeral home in the middle of the night, encountering all kinds of bizarre events...

Such a persona and posts could indeed attract a lot of traffic and attract a large number of fans.

In fact, this Liu Xingyu did have extraordinary points.

Later, Zhang Fan heard Bai Buran say that what he practiced was one of the fire methods of Zhenwu Mountain, named 【Jiang Palace Separation Fire】. Although it relied on heart fire to help, it was suspected of being opportunistic, but it was extremely powerful.

Last time, Zhang Fan had seen it at Elimination Fun.

Bai Buran also said that Liu Xingyu was also a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain and would return to the mountain for quiet cultivation every year.

Of course, their quiet cultivation was free of charge.

Besides that, Liu Xingyu also had an older brother named Liu Xingchui, whose cultivation was even more unfathomable. Both of them worked at Elimination Fun.

In fact, various Daoist sects all have industries in the secular world. Disciples under their names are sent to experience, mix for three or five years of qualifications, and return to the mountain to be cultivated.

Of course, there are also many people who enter the red dust, their desires confuse their hearts, and they are polluted. In terms of Daoist cultivation, they make no further progress. It counts as not having withstood the test, and from then on, they are exclusively in charge of the sect's industries, which counts as making the best use of everything and everyone.

Among these people, if they pass the red dust heart-refining, in the rolling sea of desires, their Dao heart is firm, and their soul-aspect is like true gold fire-refined, returning to the mountain for bitter cultivation, most will have no small achievements.

Among them, the most famous is the youngest one among the three great celestial masters of Zhenwu Mountain, 【Liu Liu Nan Xu】.

He once stayed in Yujing City for nearly twenty years.

Twenty years of red dust heart-refining did not pollute his heart of seeking the Dao. His cultivation improved, his divine abilities were vast, and he was one of the few great masters in the Daoist sect in the world.

"How did I get a relationship with the crematorium?" Zhang Fan's expression was strange.

Li Yishan's cheap mother returned to Yujing City and could actually have a connection with the Elimination Fun Funeral Home.

It must be said that Zhang Fan really had a relationship with this crematorium.

"I don't want this kind of relationship."

Zhang Fan curled his lips, returned to his room, took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, adjusted his breathing, and sat cross-legged in meditation.

His epiphany at the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance benefited him a lot, especially Li Linglong's heart-transmission method, which gave Zhang Fan hope of breaking through the 【Gao Gong】 rank.

"Killing turns into life, planting lotuses in the fire."

Zhang Fan's soul-aspect left his body, comprehending the mystery.

Clang... clang... clang...

Suddenly, in the inner scene of Zhang Fan's soul-aspect, a sound of chains colliding rang out, heavy and mysterious.

Immediately after, a picture seemed to be projected from the air, light and shadow condensed, and it was actually a building like a coffin.

"【Elimination Fun Funeral Home】!?"

Zhang Fan's heart jumped. His soul-aspect felt a strange fluctuation, which was transmitted from the light and shadow.

Especially in a room on the top floor of that building, mist permeated, revealing mystery in the blur, and hiding terror in the chaos.

Zhang Fan's soul-aspect saw that in the strange mist, a figure seemed to be sitting cross-legged, with a shadow pressing horizontally behind him. With a slight perception, the sound of heavy chains colliding in the inner scene of the soul-aspect became more intense.

Whoosh...

Just then, Zhang Fan opened his eyes suddenly, his soul-aspect returned to his body, waking up from the strange state just now.

"What's going on!?"

Zhang Fan's expression was solemn. Since he left Zhenwu Mountain and entered the Dao to practice, he had never encountered such a situation.

The soul-aspect was restless, as if warning, as if feeling unprecedented danger.

"Elimination Fun? That place really has a problem, but why do I feel uneasy?"

Zhang Fan's brow furrowed into a "chuan" shape. He walked to the window and looked in the direction of Elimination Fun.

He heard Bai Buran say that the director of Elimination Fun was named 【Meng Qingtong】, who practiced bitterly at Zhenwu Mountain in his early years and came to Yujing City ten years ago to take over the Elimination Fun Funeral Home.

Although he and Bai Buran were from the same sect, the two didn't have much intersection.

This Meng Qingtong was a loner, looking like an old man living alone, almost never dealing with the Daoist circle in Yujing City.

Besides that, the funeral home had nothing special, after all, it was an industry under Zhenwu Mountain.

"Clang... clang... clang..."

Even after the soul-aspect returned to the body, the mysterious and void sound of chains colliding still echoed in Zhang Fan's mind, making him feel a bit upset.

"There must be a demon if things are abnormal."

Zhang Fan muttered softly, picked up a coat, and walked out the door.

Suburbs of Yujing City.

The moon tonight was exceptionally round. The cold crow on the branch looked at the moon and made a strange cooing sound.

When Zhang Fan drove the Five-Spirit Rainbow Light to the Elimination Fun Funeral Home, a cordon had already been set up around it, and the size of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance was written on the warning strip.

"There really is a problem, has it been sealed?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. Before his car stopped, four or five staff members surrounded him, each with a bright talisman in their hands, true yang surging, as if they would sacrifice the talisman in their hands at any time.

"Who is it? Hands on your head, get out of the car quickly!"

The leading man held the talisman, pointed at Zhang Fan, and warned sternly.

"This... damn, they wouldn't take me for a criminal, would they?"

Zhang Fan curled his lips, but still very cooperatively opened the car door.

"Let you put your hands on your head, get out of the car quickly, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, the leading man seemed to react, true yang rolling, actually injecting it into the talisman in his hand, a red burning fire slowly rising, slowly forming like an arrow.

"How can I get out of the car with my hands on my head?" Zhang Fan's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but curse.

"Pull it out?"

"Still dare to argue?" The leading man's expression was sharp, and he was about to take action.

"Alright."

Just then, a stern voice came from the dark night. Immediately after, a large hand landed on the man's wrist, extinguishing the talisman that was about to be sacrificed.

"Team Leader Chunsheng."

The leading man saw the person coming, hurriedly straightened his body, and said respectfully.

"Our own people."

Sui Chunsheng looked at Zhang Fan, signaled with his hand, and then drank everyone back.

"It's okay."

Sui Chunsheng looked at Zhang Fan, although surprised, he still greeted him.

"No, your law enforcement is too rigid, without any scale, without any temperature?"

Zhang Fan raised his brow and glared at the man who was just fierce and cowardly.

"You're right. Some of us now only pay attention to form, not method."

Sui Chunsheng nodded, his sharp gaze swept over those who had just surrounded him, and said in a deep voice.

"Don't forget, we are the people's Daoist priests!"

Once these words were spoken, Zhang Fan couldn't help but look at Sui Chunsheng twice more. Putting aside cultivation, just this tone, Sui Chunsheng's future in the Dao Alliance can be said to be bright.

"Why are you here?"

Sui Chunsheng turned around, looked at Zhang Fan, and his words were filled with suspicion.

Their Dao Alliance had an extremely important mission tonight. Although Sui Chunsheng had greeted Zhang Fan before, saying that if there were actions in the future, he might have to ask him for help.

But this action was extremely secret. Half an hour before departure, the people participating in the action were notified.

Therefore, meeting Zhang Fan here, even Sui Chunsheng had to ask two more questions.

"I was practicing at home, and I felt that the aura here was a bit abnormal, so I came over to see." Zhang Fan said casually.

What he said could also be considered the truth.

"Your perception is quite sharp." Sui Chunsheng looked at him with deep meaning, then said: "Since you're here, just stay and help."

Regardless of whether what Zhang Fan said was true, since he was involved, he naturally couldn't let him leave. Otherwise, if there was a slip-up, Sui Chunsheng would have to take the blame. "What's the situation here?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask.

"You are a disciple of Zhenwu Mountain, just stay and be a witness, so as not to be unclear in the future."

Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice: "Our mission tonight is to capture Meng Qingtong."

"The director of Elimination Fun? Did he commit a crime?"

Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment. He faintly felt that his abnormality just now should also be related to this person. The soul-aspect warned, showing how dangerous it was.

"Remember I told you that Ma Buting's senior sister came to Yujing City?" Sui Chunsheng changed the subject and said suddenly.

"Remember." Zhang Fan nodded.

Ma Buting's 【True-Descending Incense】 was brought by his senior sister, which allowed him to break through to the 【Gao Gong】 rank.

"That senior sister of his came to Yujing City with clues and a mission, in order to investigate a treasure lost by the Dao Alliance." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

"Treasure? What treasure?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"That thing was discovered in a village under Mount Zhongnan in Qinxi Province..." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice:

The livestock and poultry in the villagers' homes disappeared one after another. At first, they thought it was the poisonous hand of a fierce beast in the mountains. Later, they found that an old cow in a villager's home had a problem.

That old cow suddenly became incredibly powerful. Especially at night, someone saw it with their own eyes swallow a small horse alive.

This incident alarmed the Daoist priests of Mount Zhongnan. At first, they thought the old cow had become a monster. After beheading it, they found that the reason it suddenly mutated was because it swallowed a piece of tile.

"Tile piece!?" Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment.

"Although that thing is a dead object, Mount Zhongnan is one of the top ten Daoist sects in the world after all. After research by masters in the sect, it was determined that the thing is..." Sui Chunsheng paused, and a solemn expression rose in his eyes.

"What?"

"Three-Corpse Yuan Pill!"

"Hmm? That tile piece is the Three-Corpse Yuan Pill?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but show a strange expression.

The Three-Corpse Yuan Pill is a special object refined by the 【Three-Corpse Daoist】 with the 【Small Soul-Splitting Method】. It hides the soul-aspect backup of this former number one master in the world. It has no consciousness itself, like a dead object.

Zhang Fan thought that thing was like a pill.

"The Three-Corpse Yuan Pill can be anything, without a specific form." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

"That thing is a dead object if it hasn't been activated. Only when it meets a soul-aspect can it possibly be activated."

The initially activated 【Three-Corpse Yuan Pill】 also has no consciousness, but the person who possesses it can obtain special power, especially since it contains the Three-Corpse Daoist's memory and experience. Even if only one ten-thousandth is obtained, it is a huge wealth.

"Theoretically speaking, once that thing wakes up, it has the opportunity to grow and transform into a new soul-aspect." Sui Chunsheng said.

"And, if it can sense other backup 【Three-Corpse Yuan Pills】 and swallow and merge them, it can greatly shorten the process of transformation."

Sui Chunsheng's face was ugly.

Normally, the Three-Corpse Yuan Pill is just a soul-aspect backup. Once the original soul-aspect is extinguished, even if this thing is activated and revived under specific conditions, it wants to slowly transform into a new soul-aspect, at least in centuries.

This is the drawback of the Small Soul-Splitting Method.

But if the Three-Corpse Daoist left behind more than one 【Three-Corpse Yuan Pill】, then the 【Three-Corpse Yuan Pill】 with a high degree of revival can absorb others as nutrients, greatly shortening this process.

"Are you saying Meng Qingtong robbed the Three-Corpse Yuan Pill!?" Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

"I'm afraid so. Now I only hope that the Three-Corpse Daoist only left behind this one Yuan Pill. If it is controlled, the situation is not too bad." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice.

For the Daoist sect in the world, the Three-Corpse Yuan Pill is a taboo. After searching for so many years, there are finally fish that slipped through the net.

"No wonder such a big battle." Zhang Fan looked at the deployment around Elimination Fun. There were more than twenty masters in the periphery, all of whom were masters carefully selected by the Dao Alliance.

"Even if he grows wings, he can't run."

Sui Chunsheng shook out a photo. It was a man, looking like he was fifty or sixty years old, his figure a bit hunched, his hair messy, and his eyes a bit turbid.

"This is Meng Qingtong!?"

In Yujing City, anyone who practices the Dao has a file in the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance, and Zhang Fan, a new face, is no exception.

"Let's go, Ma Buting and his senior sister have already gone in." Sui Chunsheng greeted.

"Do you have evidence?"

Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask one more question. After all, this place is also considered an industry of Zhenwu Mountain.

"On the way here, I happened to meet a teenager who escaped from here..." Sui Chunsheng said coldly.

"It's truly heaven's sin, you can't live. It's deserved that his sins are exposed to the public."

Meng Qingtong obtained the 【Three-Corpse Yuan Pill】, comprehended the secrets within, and actually used the soul-aspect of living people to practice Daoist techniques. The funeral home was the best cover. He even cast evil methods to urge people to fake death, move them over, and then ingest their soul-aspect.

That teenager was a fresh meat ticket, escaping while he was practicing.

"Scared to the point of not being able to speak. He Ningyan has already taken the victim to identify him."

As he spoke, Sui Chunsheng led Zhang Fan into the building.

In the empty hall, it was still piercingly cold, especially at night, it was like a morgue.

Rumble...

Just then, a loud noise suddenly rose, echoing in the hall.

Zhang Fan was still far away, but he saw Ma Buting and He Ningyan standing side by side. The ones confronting them were two young men, one of whom was Liu Xingyu, whom he had seen last time.

As for the other one, his appearance was somewhat similar to him, so it should be Liu Xingyu's older brother, Liu Xingchui.

Beside them, there was also a teenager, about seventeen or eighteen years old, huddled behind Ma Buting. His tattered clothes were full of blood stains, his skin was as white as paper, as if he had not been exposed to the sun for many years, his body shivering like a frightened little beast.

"He is that victim?" Zhang Fan's gaze narrowed, scanning up and down.

"Hmm!?"

Sui Chunsheng brought Zhang Fan over, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Ma Buting glanced at him, but was a bit surprised, but didn't care too much. After all, he was now at the 【Gao Gong】 rank, and his strength was not what it used to be, so naturally, he didn't put Zhang Fan in his eyes like before.

The violent sound pulled everyone's thoughts back. Meng Qingtong's left arm exploded, shattered dust scattered, and the huge power bounced him out, pulling away from Zhang Fan.

Instead, Liu Xingyu couldn't help but look at Zhang Fan twice more. He didn't expect that he would actually come too.

"You have searched up and down here, and we don't know where Director Meng went."

Just then, Liu Xingchui's voice rang out in the cold hall.

"We don't know about the crimes of Director Meng you mentioned."

"Whether you know or not, you have to wait until you go back and cooperate with the investigation to count." Ma Buting said coldly.

Ever since he promoted to 【Gao Gong】, he had restored his previous calm and confidence, and his shelf was big enough to fill heaven and earth.

"【Gao Gong】!?" Liu Xingchui's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Ma Buting and sneering.

"The Dao is one inch high, like a world apart. Do you want to see where your merit is high?"

"So, you want to take action?"

He Ningyan raised her jade hand. She was calm, but the indifferent voice revealed an irresistible majesty.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will eat the penalty toast."

Ma Buting sneered, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Run!"

Just then, Zhang Fan suddenly roared, attracting everyone's attention.

"Are you crazy?" Ma Buting was stunned for a moment, then his expression became strange.

Today was the Dao Alliance's action. He Ningyan hadn't spoken yet, and he hadn't expressed his position. Zhang Fan's sudden move made him very unhappy.

"He has a problem..."

Zhang Fan gritted his teeth and pulled Sui Chunsheng back violently.

Pfft...

Before the words fell, everyone hadn't even reacted yet. A blood light splashed, staining ten steps, and a thick palm had already pierced through Ma Buting's chest...

"Tsk tsk... Didn't he tell you to leave? You couldn't stay even if you had a life..."

Just then, a cold laugh rang in everyone's ears. Inconceivable gazes were cast over. The teenager who was still shivering just now had a indifferent smile on his face, revealing a bit of pleasure.

His palm was like a sharp blade, slowly withdrawing from Ma Buting's chest, but his deep and cold gaze fell on Zhang Fan.

"Truly the younger generation is to be feared. So many people didn't notice, but you saw the catty."

"Younger generation, your name is Zhang Fan!?" The teenager said in a deep voice.

"You are..." Zhang Fan's expression was solemn, as if he had guessed something.

"I am Meng Qingtong!"

As he spoke, the teenager tore off his tattered clothes, revealing a clean and strong body. His right arm, which was loose and wrinkled, was now growing and filling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Daoist divine ability, returning to youth!?" He Ningyan's expression changed suddenly.
