Chapter 165: Great Sect Law, Appearance Together Spirit Apart! Zhang Fan

In the office of the Laoshan Daoist Hall, the air seemed to freeze, as quiet as falling into a coffin.

The smile on Luo Baozhang's face gradually froze. He looked at Wei Qingsong, his eyes full of strangeness. He didn't remember that this junior brother of his, who had always been arrogant, had such a face.

The waist that had always been as straight as a peak was slightly bent. At this moment, in his eyes, it seemed that only this young man from Night Not Bright remained.

"You... do you know each other?"

Luo Baozhang had seen the world and reacted quickly, opening his mouth to break the deadlock.

"Senior brother, let me introduce you. Fellow Daoist is..." Wei Qingsong hurriedly said.

"My name is Zhang Fan, from Night Not Bright."

Just then, Zhang Fan took the initiative to speak, getting straight to the point: "Coming to disturb Hall Master Luo is for the disappearance of our employee Jiang Lai..."

"Sit down and talk." Luo Baozhang signaled.

Zhang Fan sat opposite Luo Baozhang. He signaled to the side, and the Liu brothers stood behind him.

"Xiao Jiang's matter... these days I have also entrusted some relationships to inquire, but there is no news..." Luo Baozhang was calm, subconsciously looking up at Zhang Fan.

"Could it be that she went to find some friends? Like a boyfriend or something?"

"No, even if she found friends, she wouldn't be unable to contact anyone." Zhang Fan shook his head.

It is not like ancient times now; communication is developed. If a normal person cannot be contacted at all, there are only two possibilities: either he did it intentionally, like Zhang Lingzong, or he had an accident...

"I want to know, a few days before Jiang Lai disappeared, where did she go? Who did she see?" Zhang Fan asked.

"I am not very clear about this. You also know, a woman, how could she tell us Laoshan Daoist Hall her whereabouts?" Luo Baozhang picked up the teacup on the table and took a small sip.

"To speak from the heart, I have already supported Bai Little Brother regarding Xiao Jiang's matter, and I have done as much as I can. A living person, where she wants to go, where she wants to go, is really not something others can control."

Luo Baozhang's meaning was obvious. Such a living person should be responsible for her own behavior. If it was her own reason, even if she disappeared, it had nothing to do with the Laoshan Daoist Hall.

"So, Hall Master Luo has indeed tried his best." Zhang Fan nodded, subconsciously looking at Wei Qingsong beside him.

Before leaving, Bai Buran had instructed him that Luo Baozhang was not very upright. In his early years of practicing in Laoshan, he found it difficult to keep the hardship of the mountain. After going down the mountain, he relied on his wrist and connections to have his current status.

Jiang Lai's disappearance might have nothing to do with him, but if he said he knew nothing, then he had to weigh it again. Otherwise, why would he invite Wei Qingsong to suppress the formation? It was a bit of "there is no silver three hundred taels here."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist. Since Senior Brother Luo has already tried his best, I might be able to help with this matter."

Just then, Wei Qingsong stood up and took it on himself.

After all, he is a member of the Dongshan Province Dao Alliance. Finding someone in the territory of Dongshan Province should not be difficult.

"Zhang Little Brother, don't be anxious. With Junior Brother Wei's help, your colleague should have clues soon." Luo Baozhang grinned.

"But I am very anxious."

Zhang Fan shook his head, his expression slowly sinking: "Does Hall Master Luo really have no information to reveal to me?"

"Hmm!?"

Luo Baozhang heard the coldness in Zhang Fan's words and raised an eyebrow: "Zhang Little Brother, I know you are anxious, but this is Dongshan Province. Sometimes even if you are anxious to death, you have to be patient, otherwise you will suffer a big loss."

"To say something unpleasant, a woman, if she is moved by spring, it is possible to run away with a man... There are always some things you didn't expect in this world."

Once these words were spoken, Zhang Fan slowly stood up.

Wei Qingsong saw this, his expression changed slightly, looking at Zhang Fan nervously, and couldn't help but stand up.

"In that case, I really have to thank Hall Master Luo for the reminder."

Wei Qingsong heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Little Brother, it is said that a strong dragon does not suppress the local snake. If you want to do things in Dongshan, you have to follow the rules here." Luo Baozhang narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

"Is that so? Then I will come to see Hall Master Luo's rules today."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Fan's eyes narrowed, and three feet above his head, a Nascent Soul soared into the sky.

"Nascent Soul leaves the body, fellow Daoist..." Wei Qingsong saw this, his expression trembled violently, and he cried out in shock.

"Young man, do you dare to do it here?"

Luo Baozhang's expression turned horizontal, fierce and evil light flashing in his eyes.

He patted his forehead, and his Nascent Soul also left his body. Just after leaving the body, he opened his mouth and actually spat out a round white bead, resembling a white bone skull, with Yin wind and ghost crying sounds.

"【White Bone Descending Spirit Technique】!?" Wei Qingsong's gaze jumped wildly.

This is a technique from the Laoshan Daoist arts, extreme to the point of being unorthodox. It gathers white bones, tempers the soul-aspect, and condenses Yin into pills. Once mastered, it manifests the external scene of white bones, terrifying the land, generating inner demons, and instantly causing terror in all directions, specifically designed to break cultivation.

This magic technique is huge in power, but the practice is full of passes. If it were in ancient times, it would be necessary to find a mass grave, collect white bones, and repeatedly temper them, which would be difficult to achieve without ten years of work.

Besides this, the practice process also involves being disturbed by heart demons, or seeing white bones piled up like mountains, or seeing ghosts everywhere in the netherworld...

All kinds of things, tempering the Nascent Soul, only then can one produce a white bone view in the gloomy white bone Yin Qi and refine the Descending Spirit Technique.

Rumble...

Sure enough, Luo Baozhang's Nascent Soul had just spat out the bead resembling a white bone skull, and everyone's expression changed. The Liu brothers' hearts were shaken, looking at their own hands, actually flesh and blood falling off, leaving only white bones...

The two looked at each other, and in each other's eyes, there was only a skeleton frame.

"Senior brother actually mastered 【White Bone Descending Spirit Technique】?"

In the Laoshan sect, within a hundred years, only one senior had practiced this magic technique.

It is said that this senior lived in troubled times, saved three thousand ghosts, collected corpse bones, and practiced for thirteen years to master this technique.

In the current era, wanting to find corpse bones is not easy.

But Luo Baozhang could buy 【White Bone Dan】 as a substitute.

Everyone outside said that Luo Baozhang had average talent and relied on his wrist and connections to have his current status, but they didn't know that he practiced in secret, tempered his Nascent Soul, and actually mastered this magic technique.

Wei Qingsong held his heart, but was still affected. The living people in his eyes were only left with white bones.

At this time, he knew the power of this magic technique.

"Young man doesn't know the height of heaven and earth. I will teach you how to be a human on behalf of your boss."

Luo Baozhang's Nascent Soul let out a shocked roar, and the round bead shot over, white bones ferocious, opening its mouth, ready to swallow Zhang Fan'

Such a mystical technique is worthy of the Laoshan lineage.

"Senior Brother, you mustn't..." Wei Qingshuang said hurriedly.

"Rest assured, I will leave him with his life," Luo Baozhang sneered.

"That's not it..." Wei Qingshuang was anxious.

Rumble...

Before the words were finished, Zhang Fan's soul-aspect shook violently, as if it had yawned, and the terrifying fluctuations actually caused cracks to appear on the white bone skeleton.

"This..." Luo Baozhang's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Fan's soul-aspect opened its mouth and inhaled, actually swallowing the white bone skeleton alive.

Rumble... A loud noise erupted from within Zhang Fan's soul-aspect, like Yin wind surging and essence being digested.

"My White Bone Qi!?" Luo Baozhang roared in shock.

His 【White Bone God-Descending Technique】 could only be performed through this mouthful of 【White Bone Qi】. To refine this 【White Bone Qi】, he didn't know how much wealth he had spent, how many heavenly medicines he had purchased, or how many rare treasures of mountain and sea...

The most important of which was the 【White Bone Pill】. Years of effort had all been poured into it to refine this 【White Bone Qi】, and now, it had actually been swallowed in one gulp by the young man before him.

"How could this be?" Luo Baozhang panicked.

Rumble...

Zhang Fan didn't give him any extra time to think. The soul-aspect's giant hand reached out and directly detained Luo Baozhang's soul-aspect.

"Daoist Brother, please show mercy," Wei Qingshuang called out hurriedly.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with terror. Although he had long since witnessed Zhang Fan's methods, feeling the power of Zhang Fan's soul-aspect at such close range made that fear even more intense.

A technique like the White Bone God-Descending Technique was nothing more than a snack in front of Zhang Fan's soul-aspect.

You must know that for an ordinary soul-aspect, even touching a trace of that turbid white bone energy would result in a regression of cultivation, the scattering of True Yang, and weaker soul-aspects would be shattered.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

Luo Baozhang's soul-aspect trembled in Zhang Fan's hand, no longer possessing its previous arrogance. He couldn't understand how someone with such cultivation could be willing to lower himself to be an employee at a small place like Night-Not-Bright!?

"Dao... Daoist Brother, please calm your anger... Senior Brother Luo did not intend to offend you. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Wei Qingshuang stepped forward hurriedly, looking nervously at Luo Baozhang in Zhang Fan's hand.

"No need for apologies. I only want to know the whereabouts of my friend now."

Zhang Fan whispered in a deep voice, his indifferent gaze fixed on the soul-aspect of Luo Baozhang in his hand.

"I'll ask you one more time, do you know or not?"

"I don't know," Luo Baozhang said through gritted teeth.

"Good, I hope your inside and outside are the same."

As the words fell, Zhang Fan pointed a finger, and his soul-aspect drifted forward suddenly, naturally entering Luo Baozhang's soul-aspect.

"This... this is..."

"Great Sect Law, Appearance and Spirit Apart!?"

Wei Qingshuang's eyes widened, unable to believe it.

Rumble...

At this very moment, the inner scene of Luo Baozhang's soul-aspect was bright, with corpses and white bones everywhere. On the withered trees nearby hung incomplete white bone skulls, shining like lanterns with candlelight.

Everyone's soul-aspect is unique; different realms, different techniques, different experiences... the inner scenes of the soul-aspect are also different.

Just like Zhang Fan, his soul-aspect's inner scene was the most terrifying, the trial of the cultivator, the Great Night-Not-Bright.

"Junior Sister, this cup of Autumn Drunkenness was stolen from Master. You try it."

"Senior Brother, you are so good to me."

Zhang Fan's soul-aspect walked through the inner scene and saw a segment of Luo Baozhang's past.

The power of Appearance and Spirit Apart lies in the fact that once you invade the other person's soul-aspect, you can understand their secrets; all kinds of past events are like flipping through a book, presented one by one before your eyes.

"Senior Brother, my body is so hot, what... what did you do?"

"Junior Sister, you will be mine sooner or later. Why not practice the mysterious arts with me early? Once I step into the 【Art Disciple】 rank, I will have the qualifications to go down the mountain."

"You shameless... what are you doing? Get out quickly... wait a moment, wait a moment... my husband... where is my husband?"

The night was hazy, and under the dim yellow light, two figures were entangled like giant snakes, while outside it was raining and thundering.

Zhang Fan watched several times, as if he were there, but he didn't find any clues.

This was Luo Baozhang's memory from when he was in his twenties; naturally, it wouldn't have anything to do with Jiang Lai.

Hum...

Zhang Fan's soul-aspect wandered in the inner scene, the light and shadow around him jumping faster and faster. Finally, he saw the shadow of Jiang Lai...

This should be a recent memory. Jiang Lai had escorted the 【White Bone Pill】 to the Laoshan Daoist Hall, and after making the delivery, she had left.

This memory had nothing special about it.

Zhang Fan fast-forwarded again. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the jumping light and shadow.

He froze immediately and saw in the light and shadow that after Luo Baozhang sent Jiang Lai away, he received a phone call. Following that, he paced back and forth in the office, as if waiting for someone...

A moment later, a figure walked into his office. It seemed to be a woman, tall, wearing black silk stockings, high heels, and a sun hat, appearing sexy and charming.

As soon as the person entered, Luo Baozhang stepped forward to greet her, appearing extremely respectful.

"Jiang Lai, I didn't expect this girl to actually come to Qilu City. Back at Taoyuan Square, she was one of those who ruined my plans..."

Just at this moment, the sexy and charming woman actually emitted a magnetic, deep voice like a man's. She slowly took off her sun hat, revealing her true face.

"Hai Zhu, Wang Tao!"

Zhang Fan's expression changed slightly, his gaze becoming suddenly sharp.

"You have such guts, actually daring to collude with the Thirteen Zodiacs!"

Rumble...

In the office, Zhang Fan's soul-aspect returned to his body. He looked coldly at Luo Baozhang, who was acting like a madman, dancing and shouting: "Hai Zhu... it was Hai Zhu who made me do it, I'll tell you everything..."

"Senior Brother, you..."

Wei Qingshuang heard this, his heart jumping. He looked at Luo Baozhang with some disbelief; from just these few words, he had heard an incredible secret.

His Senior Brother, the dignified master of the Laoshan Daoist Hall, had actually colluded with the demons of the Thirteen Zodiacs!?

"Appearance and Spirit Apart... it really is Appearance and Spirit Apart!!"

At this moment, Wei Qingshuang's expression was solemn. He instinctively looked at Zhang Fan, feeling even more shocked by his methods.

The Bai He View's 【Great Sect Law, Appearance and Spirit Apart】, once mastered, allows one to invade another's soul-aspect and do whatever one pleases.

He never imagined that this employee who claimed to be from Night-Not-Bright not only had an introduction letter from the Jiangnan Province Daoist Alliance but also had a background from the Bai He View.

"What is his background!? So young, and he carries the authentic secret techniques of the Bai He View..." Wei Qingshuang's thoughts raced.

He himself was from Laoshan and had spent many years in the Dongshan Province Daoist Alliance, so he knew a thing or two about the higher-ups.

The Bai He View itself was one of the permanent directors of the Daoist Alliance, and experts from its sect emerged one after another. There were precedents of them being sent to various provincial and municipal Daoist alliances for training. Most of these people were gifted and held high expectations, so their backgrounds, resumes, and even names were new, starting from the grassroots...

But at this age, to have such cultivation, with strength reaching such a terrifying level, they could be counted on one hand...

Just at this moment, a name appeared in Wei Qingshuang's mind, a name unknown to the outside world but secretly cultivated by the Bai He View and regarded as a successor...

"Li Changgeng!?"

Wei Qingshuang's gaze jumped as he looked at Zhang Fan, a bold guess rising in his heart.
