Xu Family, a servant brought over a bowl of dark-colored Chinese medicine.
"Miss, it’s time for your medicine."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiwei’s expression did not change.
Initially, when she started taking this stuff, she felt nauseous. But only by consuming it could she prolong her life, and the blood qi contained within her heart benefited her cultivation.
She stirred the spoon, noticing the mushy pieces of meat in the dark Chinese medicine.
Suddenly, Xu Zhiwei’s phone rang.
"What’s the matter?" she asked unhurriedly while taking her medicine.
"The Ghost King from Xianghe Village is missing."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiwei’s complexion changed.
She put down her medicine bowl, "How can he disappear? What about Ma Bin?"
"Ma Bin is also missing."
After Qin Zhao and the others dealt with Ma Bin, they burned his corpse to ashes.
Those villagers who were supposed to test the medicine had all returned to the village unconscious, hence no one knew about his death.
"Send more people to look for them, they must be found! They can’t just disappear without reason!"
Xu Zhiwei hung up the phone, her face turning exceedingly gloomy.
Could it be that Chu Yan’s people found out about this?
Even if they did discover, the Ghost King wouldn’t fear them, how could he vanish without a trace?
This was a Ghost King who had come from hell; most Heavenly Masters in the Mortal World couldn’t match him.
Xu Zhiwei’s hand holding the spoon unconsciously tightened.
"I didn’t expect you to escape this calamity."
She let out a cold laugh.
If she couldn’t have him, she wouldn’t mind destroying him!
Xu Zhiwei drank the medicine in one go, then she tidied herself up, preparing to leave.
After her health had improved, she planned to take over the Xu Family’s businesses, so she was very busy these days, and later she still needed to visit the headquarters of the Xu Group.
Half an hour later, Xu Zhiwei left in a luxury car.
It was evening at the moment, and the sky was dim.
As the luxury car drove, a fog began to rise on the road, obscuring the nearby vehicles.
Xu Zhiwei looked out at the mist and felt something was off.
"Stop the car! Turn around immediately!"
She had just given the order when a piercing screech of brakes was heard.
Xu Zhiwei looked up only to see the driver’s head slumped over the steering wheel, having passed out.
Someone outside the car called her name.
Xu Zhiwei recognized the voice—it was the person she detested the most.
As she stepped out of the car, Qin Zhao unhesitatingly attacked her.
The moment the car left the Xu family’s property, the driver fell into a spell she had set, driving to a secluded, unpopulated area, making it convenient for her to confront Xu Zhiwei.
Just as the golden attack was about to reach her, a strange black mist emanated from Xu Zhiwei.
The black mist blocked the attack, and a thick Evil Energy spread out.
"So you really have cultivated an Evil Technique!"
Xu Zhiwei looked at Qin Zhao warily.
"The incident with the HIV patient scratching Chu Yan, was that your doing? And you claim to love Chu Yan—is this how you show your love?"
Xu Zhiwei’s hand, hanging by her side, clenched slightly.
She stared bitterly and jealously at Qin Zhao.
"He is the one who’s blind to what’s good for him; I could easily destroy him! What I can’t have, no one else shall have either!"
"You’re insane! A person like you really doesn’t deserve anyone’s affection!"
Qin Zhao hardened her expression and formed a Dharma Seal with her hands, a more powerful aura pressing towards Xu Zhiwei.
Xu Zhiwei simply couldn’t withstand such immense oppressive force, her complexion turned deathly pale, and blood stubbornly trickled from the corners of her mouth, feeling as if her internal organs were shifting out of place.
"For the sake of survival, you allied with the Ghost King and killed so many people, you should go to hell!"
"What right do you have to kill me? If you were me, destined to die young, would you willingly accept it? Wouldn’t you do everything possible to survive?!"
"That’s no justification for harming others!"
Xu Zhiwei’s eyes widened, filled with bloodshot veins.
Reluctantly staring at Qin Zhao in the sky, she strained to form a blood Dharma Seal.
Blood spewed from Xu Zhiwei’s mouth like it cost nothing, her hands feebly dropped down.
But in the last moment, she formed the Dharma Seal for help.
Under the dim, dusky sky, a sinister shadow kept extending from beneath Xu Zhiwei’s feet, gradually expanding to envelop a hundred li radius.
A potent force emerged from the ground, forcibly pulling down Qin Zhao, who was in mid-air practicing Sword Control.
Xu Zhiwei had already collapsed on the ground, surrounded by blood, appearing lifeless.
Seeing the spreading shadow on the ground, Qin Zhao’s expression grew grimmer.
"Tengshe, come out for a moment."
She pulled the little one out.
Both big and small stared at the shadow on the ground, each wearing a wary expression.
The ground suddenly split open, creating a massive fissure.
Scorching and dangerous energy burst forth from the ground, striking Qin Zhao completely.
This immense energy was comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator’s lethal strike, and Qin Zhao had no ability to resist.
Fortunately, Tengshe immediately reverted to his original form at the first sign and curled his tail tip around Qin Zhao.
He wrapped her within his body and soared into the sky.
"What in the world? That scared me to death."
Just as Tengshe uttered a sigh, from the crevice below emerged a giant wielding an axe.
Around the giant’s neck was a bowl-sized bloody hole, headless, his axe heavily swinging toward where Tengshe was.
Truly frightened, before Qin Zhao could see what had emerged from below, Tengshe had already begun to flee with her.
However, they hadn’t flown far when they crashed into a transparent barrier with a clang.
"Damn woman, what do we do?!"
Qin Zhao sat on Tengshe’s back, finally seeing the headless giant below.
With a mere swing of his axe, the giant could cleave a mountain in half.
"How can Xu Zhiwei summon such a thing? It doesn’t feel like her power."
"Forget whether she can or can’t, what are we going to do?"
Tengshe’s flying speed was quite fast, and he was agile, dodging the giant’s axe multiple times. Being struck by it would split him in two!
Tengshe, carrying Qin Zhao, zigzagged through the air, with the howling wind in their ears.
"Something’s not right."
Qin Zhao, seeing the giant’s chopping motion, fell into deep thought. Each chop to the ground broke the earth and collapsed buildings.
Such a commotion, yet there were no human voices or mortals fleeing.
"This is an illusion, not real! We just need to break the Array Eye to escape!"
Qin Zhao quickly spoke, then jumped off Tengshe.
"You distract him; I’ll find the Array Eye."
At this time, Chu Yan also arrived near the Xu Family home.
He wore a duckbill cap and a black mask, driving to find the Xu Family’s luxury car.
Xu Zhiwei, covered in blood, was unconscious next to the car, and Qin Zhao stood nearby, utterly motionless.
Tengshe, in the form of a little milk baby, stood beside her, also unmoving.
They had maintained this stance for half an hour.
Feeling that something was amiss, Chu Yan hurriedly approached, "Zhaozhao."
A warning voice sounded in his mind.
