Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shen Yaowei was waiting for Huo Junhan’s answer when he picked her up.
After exclaiming, she hurriedly reached out and wrapped her arms around Huo Junhan’s neck. She smelled the faint fragrance coming from the man’s body, and her heart beat faster uncontrollably.
Huo Junhan carried Shen Yaowei back to his room.
After being placed on the bed, Shen Yaowei lay down and supported her chin with her small hand. She watched Huo Junhan put on his clothes. “Junhan, I’m going on a long trip next.”
Huo Junhan stopped dressing. He turned to look at Shen Yaowei. “Where are you going?”
“Today, I went to the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, and the people there informed me that something major had occurred in Wanhua City. Overnight, a large number of malevolent forces emerged, causing great turmoil and resulting in injuries and even deaths. The exact cause of it all remains unknown. The Master is currently in seclusion, and as a disciple of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence, I must join Senior Brother Yao and the others to go to Wanhua City and assess the situation,” Shen Yaowei said, her eyes filled with a chilling resolve.
The situation in Wanhua City was very complicated. She vaguely felt that this matter wasn’t simple.
She couldn’t tell where this feeling came from. In any case, she had such a premonition.
“I’ve heard of this too. When the evil spirits were triggered, General Baili was even tortured and dismembered by the evil spirits to protect innocent people.” Huo Junhan narrowed his eyes, and a dark light flashed across them.
Shen Yaowei nodded, her eyes rolling with emotion. “General Baili is already advanced in age. He was born in Wanhua City, so he specially requested to return to his hometown to recuperate. Who knew that such a thing would happen?”
Speaking of General Baili, he was also an acquaintance of her father.
Back then, when her father had just entered the military camp, it was General Baili who single-handedly supported her father to become the new general.
It could be said that General Baili was like her father’s mentor, akin to being half of his master. Over the years, although they haven’t met often, their correspondence has never ceased, and their relationship has remained strong.
Therefore, after she found out about this, she left the Imperial Preceptor’s residence and immediately returned to the General’s Mansion to ask about her father’s situation.
Thinking of Shen Liu’an’s regretful and sad expression, Shen Yaowei also felt upset.
After all, everyone knew that General Baili was impeccable.
In the past, when the enemy’s 300,000-strong army attacked, it was General Baili who led 100,000 people to defend the border for 15 days. When all the supplies were exhausted, he cut off all means of retreat and fought a beautiful battle to turn things around. Only then did he defend the border and defeat the enemy.
Therefore, after General Baili’s accident, the entire country mourned.
At the thought of this, Shen Yaowei’s expression showed a tinge of sorrow. “General Baili was a good person. He was killed by evil spirits, and even before his death, he held onto a lingering attachment and refused to close his eyes. It required the people from our Imperial Preceptor’s residence to perform purification rituals before he could be properly laid to rest.”
Before a person died, if they had some deep obsession, it was very easy for their soul to be in a mess.
This situation was indeed very dangerous. If not handled properly, the body might even undergo putrefaction.
Once the corpse came back to life, the original owner of the corpse would become a zombie, and the situation would become even more complicated.
So far, General Baili’s corpse has been suppressed by a talisman. After the funeral, his family didn’t dare to be buried.
Ordinary warlocks couldn’t resolve this matter either. Therefore, the relatives of the Baili family asked Huo Yuntian for help and asked him to arrange for the Imperial Preceptor’s residence to handle this matter..
