Chapter 327

Evening, Guangming Hotel.

Zhang Fan sat in the hotel lobby, taking a stack of materials out of a kraft paper file bag.

These materials were all obtained by Fang Changle and the Qi brothers from their respective mountain gates, more or less related to Zi Shu among the Thirteen Zodiacs.

"Where are Old Fang and the Qi brothers? Why didn't they give it to me personally?" Zhang Fan looked at Li Miaoyin sitting opposite and couldn't help but ask.

"They only let me pass it to you, saying..." Li Miaoyin paused, then said: "Not to hinder you."

"Not to hinder me? Not to hinder me from what?" Zhang Fan was stunned, then his expression became strange.

"I also want to ask you, what did you secretly tell them?" Li Miaoyin sized up Zhang Fan.

"What could I tell them?" Zhang Fan curled his lips, seemingly guessing what Li Miaoyin was referring to, and couldn't help but shake his head: "People's words are fearful."

As he spoke, Zhang Fan lowered his head and looked at the materials in his hand.

"You are very interested in Zi Shu among the Thirteen Zodiacs." Li Miaoyin looked at that stack of materials, changing the subject.

"Have you read them?" Zhang Fan didn't raise his head.

"Those materials can't be considered top secret; Maoshan and Mount Laojun wouldn't shake out the real bottom-of-the-box things." Li Miaoyin said solemnly.

The Wu Wei Gate has been passed down for thousands of years, and its relationship with the Daoist gate is intricate, with many secrets that are really not enough to be told to outsiders.

"This position of Zi Shu is extremely mysterious..."

"In the history of the Thirteen Zodiacs, other positions might have appeared vacant, but this position has always had someone." Li Miaoyin said lightly.

"It is indeed a bit suspicious." Zhang Fan frowned.

Thirteen Zodiacs, with humans as the head.

In the long years, the position of the Human Zodiac appeared vacant every once in a while.

When Li Linglong was attacked under Long Hu Mountain, the position of the Human Zodiac was vacant for ten years, but the position of Zi Shu had never been vacant.

"Not only that..." Zhang Fan looked at the materials, his suspicion even greater.

"Sixty years ago, the Jiazi Demon-Sweeping, the Wu Wei Gate was almost wiped out, and the Thirteen Zodiacs were killed and injured; at that time, only Zi Shu stayed out of it and was not in the calamity."

After that great calamity, the Wu Wei Gate disappeared and never appeared in front of people again.

That was also the time when the Thirteen Zodiacs were almost wiped out; Jin Maori, who inherited the You Chicken position, became the most senior existence among the Thirteen Zodiacs today.

But Zi Shu at that time was not affected.

"Is the Zi Shu of sixty years ago the same person as the Zi Shu of today?" Zhang Fan was thoughtful.

If so, then Zi Shu is a figure of the same era as the Three Corpse Daoist and Chu Chaoran; among the Thirteen Zodiacs, his seniority is older than Jin Maori's.

"Zi Shu is very mysterious and never appears in front of people."

Li Miaoyin paused, looking at Zhang Fan with deep meaning.

"Ten years ago, the Great Lingzong King was ambushed under Long Hu Mountain, and the Thirteen Zodiacs almost all came out, only Zi Shu avoided the disaster and traveled far."

"Really shrewd, he is always able to stay away from such right and wrong." Zhang Fan looked at the materials in his hand.

"Only such people can live long."

"Sense danger and avoid it, see calamity and hide." Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

"As expected of Zi Shu."

"Such people are very difficult to deal with, why do you want to deal with him?" Li Miaoyin asked.

"You know a little bit about our family's affairs." Zhang Fan pondered.

At this very moment, he opened his heart, subconsciously treating Li Miaoyin as one of his own.

"Given Chen Long!?" Li Miaoyin guessed something.

"Zhang Nanfeng, he is a person of the Zhang family, refined the Five Elements Wrong King, and obtained the True Dragon Treasure Horn; my father is currently hiding in Mount Ailao, unable to take care of himself; wanting to deal with such a person, I can only seek external reinforcements." Zhang Fan said in a deep voice.

Currently, Zi Shu is the best choice.

"The gap between you and him is too big; to be honest, with such a disparity, the value you have in Zi Shu's eyes is imaginable; he has no need to cooperate with you." Li Miaoyin saw it clearly.

"What you said is not wrong." Zhang Fan nodded.

Although he successfully merged the spirits and escaped the calamity of the Great Night Not Bright, he only has the Great Being Sixth Realm cultivation after all.

But Given Chen Long is already a Celestial Master class.

With such a disparity, Zhang Fan indeed doesn't have the capital to cooperate with Zi Shu.

"What Zi Shu values is naturally not me, or rather, not just me." Zhang Fan said lightly.

"You are the last blood descendant of the Southern Zhang lineage, and behind you is a Great Lingzong King, which is an existence enough to make Given Chen Long wary." Li Miaoyin analyzed.

"Not bad, he cooperates with me to form a good relationship, and I am pulling in an ally." Zhang Fan said solemnly.

"Plan ahead; in the distant future, this ally might become a nail embedded in the enemy's heart."

Beep, beep, beep...

Just then, Zhang Fan's phone rang; he opened it and saw an encrypted text message from Meng Qiwu.

Zhang Fan clicked on the content of the text message, which had only one sentence.

"11:00 tonight, Yujing City, Hongri Building!"

"Finally here." Zhang Fan let out a long sigh of relief.

11:00, that is the Zi hour!

Yujing City, Hongri Building.

There were no pedestrians on the cold street, and the street lights on the side of the road "hissed," flickering on and off.

The 【Hongri Building】 under the eerie moonlight looked desolate and strange.

This was originally an abandoned building, very famous in Yujing City, ranking among the top ten fierce buildings in Yujing City along with the 【Taoyuan Square】 where Zhang Fan was before.

Hongri Building was built fifteen years ago; originally, the downstairs was a commercial complex, and the upstairs was residential apartments.

Later, a murder case occurred; a man kept a mistress, and they lived on the 13th floor. The wife found the door, and in the noise, the man accidentally killed the wife, so he and the mistress dismembered her, put her in woven bags, and threw them in various places in Yujing City.

Later, the mistress had nightmares every night, always dreaming of someone knocking on the door, asking her to find something together; opening the door, there were only red and blue woven bags.

The mistress's spirit became more and more trance-like, starting to talk nonsense, and even wanted to report herself to the police.

The man was afraid, so he dismembered the mistress too, put her in a suitcase, but before he could throw it away, he was discovered.

Since then, this building became gloomy and strange, and people always saw a suitcase or a woven bag in the corridor or elevator entrance in the middle of the night, with blood seeping out, and strange sounds echoing in the empty building.

"If you love her, buy a suitcase; if you don't, buy a woven bag."

"Throw it far away, bury it nearby, never find anyone to carry it."

"Hee hee..."

The business of Hongri Building became worse and worse, tenants and merchants moved away one after another, and after a long time, it was abandoned, and no one has taken it over to this day.

Drip... drip...

At the end of the cold corridor, the sound of dripping water came, echoing in the cold night.

"If you love her, buy a suitcase; if you don't, buy a woven bag."

"Throw it far away, bury it nearby, never find anyone to carry it."

Waves of whispers seemed to pour into the water pipe like cold wind, with sobbing sounds; under the flickering lights, one could vaguely see a red and blue woven bag hidden in the corner of the stairs, and there seemed to be a shadow beside it.

"I thought it was some fierce ghost in a fierce building, turns out someone is refining yin pills."

13th floor, in a red room.

Ge Zhenyan sat on the sofa, staring at the surveillance screen in front of him, and couldn't help but sneer.

In the Daoist gate, there is a method that uses a special feng shui pattern to create the illusion of a fierce house and yin land, attracting all the wandering souls and fierce ghosts around, like a furnace, refining yin pills.

Once this pill is formed, it is like taking the Kan and filling the Li, which can transform yin and change yang, refine the yin dregs of the Yuanshen, and peek into the wonderful realm of the Pure Yang Dao.

"Young Master, should we..." Beside him, the man with graying temples whispered solemnly.

"No, a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake." Ge Zhenyan waved his hand and said.

The Ge family is powerful, but this is Yujing City after all; being able to refine yin pills with such a large hand, no one has asked about it for many years, clearly it is not an ordinary person.

At the very least, the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance must know, but they turn a blind eye; the background of the other party can be imagined.

"It has nothing to do with us, don't cause extra trouble; the only mission tonight is to catch Zi Shu's spokesperson and the person meeting him." Ge Zhenyan stared at the surveillance screen, which showed the scene of the shopping mall on the first floor.

Tonight, whoever appears here is Zi Shu's accomplice, a Wu Wei monster.

"Ge Shuangxiu, the things I asked you to prepare, are they ready?"

Ge Zhenyan asked with majesty, and Ge Shuangxiu immediately walked out from the side.

Waves of gazes fell on him, but they revealed a trace of indifference.

Among the thirteen experts under Ge Zhenyan, only Ge Shuangxiu has the surname Ge.

Although they are of the same clan and tribe, their situations are worlds apart; in front of Ge Zhenyan, he seems like a slave bowing and scraping, where is there any demeanor of the Pure Yang Ge family?

Precisely because of this, these people around Ge Zhenyan look down on him.

"By my side, you have done a good job with your errands." Ge Zhenyan nodded.

In the Ge family, Ge Shuangxiu is a completely marginal figure because he is an orphan without father or mother, lost and chaotic since childhood, and even had a period of drifting outside, like a wild dog.

Such a person, without any foundation or background, being able to be kept by Ge Zhenyan by his side and find a job is already a great grace.

Of course, the reason Ge Zhenyan uses him is also an important reason, which is that he is indeed much more comfortable and smooth to use than others.

For such a slave, Ge Zhenyan naturally wouldn't be stingy about giving opportunities.

"Zhixia, don't be nervous, wait a while, you just stay here and watch the show."

Ge Shuangxiu looked at Xu Zhixia, who was sitting beside him, staring at the surveillance screen meticulously, and couldn't help but reveal a doting look.

"Hmm, you be careful too." Xu Zhixia nodded.

She had also lurked in the Wu Wei Gate and knew the power of these people.

"Zhixia, I heard you went to university in Yujing City and had a boyfriend?"

Just then, Ge Zhenyan changed the subject and suddenly said.

"Hmm? You investigated me?" Xu Zhixia frowned slightly, revealing displeasure.

"I am caring about you."

Ge Zhenyan whispered solemnly: "I heard Auntie mention it once last year; it just happened that when I went to the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance today, President Lou mentioned a name to me, which sounded familiar..."

The names of ordinary people naturally don't deserve to be remembered by this disciple of the Pure Yang family, but Zhang Fan...

He had heard this name from Wei Qingshuang's mouth, saying it was Xu Zhixia's boyfriend during university.

"What did President Lou tell you?"

"Said this is a good young man, and if there is a chance, let me promote him." Ge Zhenyan said lightly.

This rat-catching operation involved not only experts from the Ge family but also joint actions from the Qiu family and the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance.

Originally, Lou Hechuan recommended Zhang Fan to participate in this operation, but Ge Zhenyan didn't take it to heart at all.

"That's all in the past." Xu Zhixia turned her head and looked at the surveillance screen.

"That's true..."

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

Just then, the surveillance screen jumped, and a human figure actually walked into the dark shopping mall hall; the light was dim, and the appearance couldn't be seen, only the vague outline could be seen.

"Here!"

Ge Zhenyan's eyes lit up abruptly, like an old cat seeing a mouse.

"Let's go."

He stood up abruptly, like a strange peak rising, his momentum absolute, heading straight for the shopping mall hall.

First floor.

Shopping mall hall.

Zhang Fan walked into the desolate and abandoned building and felt that the atmosphere of this place was extraordinary, like a furnace.

It's just that an ordinary furnace has true fire boiling, but here yin evil gathers, and there seems to be a dragon eye in the mysterious place, just refining great pills, like creating profound arts.

"Yujing City is worthy of being the capital of Jiangnan Province, there are still experts." Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh.

This building, being able to be abandoned for more than ten years without anyone asking, forming such a pattern today, is clearly not the work of an ordinary person.

No wonder Zi Shu's spokesperson would make an appointment to meet here.

"Zi Shu's people are so careless? It seems I overestimated them."

Just then, an indifferent voice sounded in the empty and abandoned shopping mall.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw a group of people walk out; the leader was none other than Ge Zhenyan, and the rest of the people, just high merit, had as many as four.

"It's you?" Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, remembering seeing the other party at the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance during the day.

"You..."

Ge Zhenyan's gaze narrowed, sizing up Zhang Fan, and the file data Lou Hechuan gave him appeared in his mind.

"Zhang Fan... you are Zhang Fan?"

"You know me?"

"Tsk tsk, didn't expect, originally thought you were a little white face wanting to climb a high branch, who would have thought you are a monster of the Wu Wei Gate, belonging to the Zi Shu lineage." A cold light flashed in Ge Zhenyan's eyes.

Originally, he wanted to find an opportunity to clean up Xu Zhixia's so-called ex-boyfriend, but never expected that this opportunity would be delivered to his door automatically, and it was a crime of great death, a crime that must be punished.

"I..." Zhang Fan's gaze sank.

"No need to explain, in this kind of situation today, whoever appears here is Zi Shu's person; even if not, they are of great importance to him."

Ge Zhenyan sized up Zhang Fan, like an old cat playing with a mouse.

"To tell you the truth, the experts of the Jiangnan Province Dao Alliance, as well as my Ge family's people, and the Qiu family's people, have already surrounded this street area; even if you have great ability, you can't escape."

Tonight is a net of heaven and earth; as long as someone steps into this shopping mall, they can't escape even with wings.

"You can run now, I want to see how much ability you have."

Ge Zhenyan put his hands in his pockets, looking at Zhang Fan playfully, without any intention of blocking.

"There are too many things to say in an instant, but unfortunately they are about to be in different places, so I have to stare at this moment deeply..."

Just then, a pleasant and inspiring music came from the dim and dilapidated depths of the shopping mall.

Everyone was stunned, subconsciously looking up, and heard the music getting closer and closer; at the same time, a human figure slowly walked out from the shadows.

Hum...

Suddenly, Ge Zhenyan's head was thrown high, blood light like a pillar, rushing into the sky for three feet.

That high-flying head had wide-open eyes, facing this sudden change, his eyes were also filled with shock; he stared fixedly at the figure walking from the shadows, his face ferocious, simply unable to believe!!!

That figure was too familiar!

"Even if thousands of late stars shine brighter than tonight's moon, they can't compare to the beauty of tonight."

The music stopped abruptly, a figure walked out, the bright moonlight sprinkled, reflecting on his face, reflecting on that ferocious scar.

Ge Shuangxiu!

"If a problem can be solved by killing, then it's not a problem." The person coming lightened, grinning, looking at Zhang Fan.

"How did that sentence Zhou Yi always keep on his lips go?"

"Great Yuanshen always meet unexpectedly."

Zhang Fan saw the person coming, was stunned at first, then the two looked at each other and smiled, saying in unison.
