How could it be you? How could you be Zi Shu?” Zhang Fan raised an eyebrow, his expression strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, the Thirteen Zodiacs rebelled and ambushed his family beneath Longhu Mountain; Zi Shu was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said it was merely his shadow—he never truly participated, nor was he entangled in that turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others claimed it was the real Zi Shu, who suffered grave injuries in that disaster and has never recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Changle also said he had never seen Zi Shu’s true face, yet he could smell the stench of deep, incurable illness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless, how old was An Wuyang ten years ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he possibly be Zi Shu!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Wuyang said nothing; he sat there, and suddenly his third eye trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A night breeze stirred, and behind him, a ripple surged—those who observed with their Yuan Shen could see an ancient, mysterious temple materialize, its incense smoke coiling into a gray, hazy great rat, hidden within the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zi Shu Palace!?” Zhang Fan’s heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew An Wuyang was proving his identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On that day, when his Yuan Shen left his body and entered Tai Sui Village, he had seen Qin Ergou enter the Xu Quan Palace with the same phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Thirteen Zodiacs could take dominion over their own Destiny Temples and ignite incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the most definitive proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really are Zi Shu?” Zhang Fan murmured softly, still struggling to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had heard from Meng Qi that An Wuyang’s origins were extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many years ago, Chu Chaoran wandered the world and adopted many orphans; Xia Weisheng was one of them, brought back to Zhenwu Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Wuyang was another—except that Chu Chaoran had sent him to Zhongnan Mountain instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Precisely because of this connection, when Master Chaoran took disciples, An Wuyang was among those rumored to be chosen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a background, how could he possibly be linked to Zi Shu!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you here to learn my identity, or to find Xiao?” An Wuyang glanced sideways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just curious—you’re the most mysterious of the Thirteen Zodiacs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan smiled lightly, his expression returning to normal, and sat down without invitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If so, the only two Zodiacs I haven’t met are Chou Niu and Wei Yang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wei Yang… you’ve already met him.” An Wuyang suddenly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who?” Zhang Fan froze, a look of confusion on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The newly appointed chairman of the Jiangnan Dao Alliance.” An Wuyang said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wu Qingnang!?” Zhang Fan’s gaze sharpened into a thread, his expression altered as the image of that consumptive wretch flashed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have imagined that the new chairman of the Jiangnan Dao Alliance was Wei Yang among the Thirteen Zodiacs!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… infiltration is too deep.” Zhang Fan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Daoist sects infiltrate Wuwei Gate just as deeply—among the Thirteen Zodiacs alone, some are theirs.” An Wuyang said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, it’s mutual—you in me, me in you. In the end, who can tell who is who?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Wuyang’s expression remained calm and detached; he didn’t even bother distinguishing or sorting out such black and white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You just revealed his identity so casually?” Zhang Fan looked at An Wuyang with hidden meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So what? You’re not clean yourself—can you go shouting it across the world?” An Wuyang said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mutton soup’s here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the owner brought up a bowl of mutton soup and a meat-stuffed bun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan reached to take it, but An Wuyang moved it to his own side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Owner, bring another portion for him.” An Wuyang said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owner called back, turning and walking into the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who isn’t clean?” Zhang Fan picked up the previous thread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve gotten too close to Xiao—how clean are you?” An Wuyang sipped his soup, not looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, you’re the last surviving heir of the Southern Zhang—your identity is even more sensitive than Wuwei Gate’s.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Zhang Fan’s gaze darkened sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course I know. Your identity isn’t a secret among the Thirteen Zodiacs. Besides, on that day on Maoshan, when our Yuan Shen clashed, I recognized it as the Divine-Demon Holy Embryo.” An Wuyang whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master is Ye Beichen—he fought your father countless times and studied the Divine-Demon Holy Embryo deeply.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgot about that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan smirked, giving An Wuyang a long look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Zhongnan Mountain Master Ye Tianshi was Zhang Lingzong’s old rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s get to the point.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Wuyang put down the half-eaten meat-stuffed bun and said calmly: “Xiao has almost certainly entered the Living Dead Tomb.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s entered once before.” Zhang Fan said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know, but this time is different—you’ve read the manuscript. That ancient tomb was originally meant to hold coffins.” An Wuyang said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Eight Kings Carrying the Coffin… this legend is vague and elusive, tied to the Nine Methods; even the founding of the Coffin-Bearers was due to this phantom tale.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know who’s buried in that coffin?” Zhang Fan couldn’t help asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.” An Wuyang shook his head softly: “That’s the truth the Coffin-Bearers seek.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some speculate it holds a true immortal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Immortal!?” Zhang Fan fell silent, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That has nothing to do with the current situation.” An Wuyang’s logic was clear, steering the topic back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To enter the Living Dead Tomb, one must cultivate Jia Sheng Gui Si.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know that—but in all the world, only two people have mastered this method.” Zhang Fan said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao and Luo Sen.” An Wuyang whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You even know Luo Sen?” Zhang Fan began to sense the depth of Zi Shu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accessed his files when I was with the Shangjing Dao Alliance.” An Wuyang said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That must have been top-secret archives.” Zhang Fan gave An Wuyang a meaningful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His mother was originally an experimental subject of the Coffin-Bearers—they used the residual bone and blood of Jia Sheng Gui Si cultivators to modify her, then faked an accident to let her escape. She later mated with a man from the Pure Yang Wang family and gave birth to that aberration named Luo Sen.” An Wuyang whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fan fell silent. From the moment Luo Sen was born, his fate was doomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the first day he appeared in the world, he was regarded as a monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Your Majesty sent him to that orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanqi Orphanage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He awakened Jia Sheng Gui Si—but unlike Xiao, he took a different path.” An Wuyang said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1159,"2026-06-19T21:05:46.332Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2a527140cbc627a13fe5163225adf1447488d38b5f1d7665d1e9f030e132f545","pure-yang-chapter-479","pure-yang-chapter-477",520,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpure-yang-cover.jpg"]
