Chapter 082: Dust Settles

  Just after the death of Gui Gu's twin evils, the man in black looked at the transparent sky color, then looked at Liu Wuyan and Qing She who were not far away, and said to Lü Kuang who had already eaten a meal: "Let's go, we should leave here!"

  Lü Kai had just come out, and after devouring two Rakshasa ghosts, he was in a good mood. However, when he heard the black-clad man's words, his mood sank again, indicating that he would have to return to the Black Seal Bracelet. He occasionally let out low growls, expressing his discontent. Nevertheless, upon hearing the black-clad man's cold snort, he obediently entered the Black Seal Bracelet.

  The man in black came to Yi Tian's side, took a few glances, and quickly left without saying much.

  On the other hand, Liu Wuyan's face looked increasingly ugly. No matter how they walked, they would always return to their original place. After such a long time, they still hadn't seen Yi Tian's figure, and she couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.

  At this moment, she took advantage of the brightening sky and looked around, only to find that the environment in front of her had changed abruptly!

  "Sister, look quickly, there are people over there!" Qing She exclaimed, pointing at the few people lying not far away.

  "Not good, go take a look!" Yu Wuyan felt that something was wrong when he saw the state of those people and quickly ran over.

  They first saw two unfamiliar guys, Ghost Valley Twin Evils. The two had pale faces, their mouths agape, and their eyes bulging in terror, looking as if they were dead in a rather strange way.

  Then there was Hong Tao, whose death looked much better than that of the Ghost Valley Duo, but his expression also showed a full ten points of fear.

  Under a big tree lay another person with clothes torn all over and covered in blood.

  When Liu Wuyan fixed his eyes and took a closer look, he exclaimed: "Yi Tian!"

  She quickly came closer, stretched out her hand to try Ye Tian's nose tip, and felt relieved when she found his breathing was normal. Then she checked Ye Tian's whole body again and found that they were all superficial wounds, without hurting any muscles or bones.

  "Big... big sister, is Yitian okay?" Qing She saw the blood-stained Yitian and furrowed her brow. The previously spirited him, how did he end up like this? After a moment's thought, Qing She recalled that there had been an extremely brutal battle here before.

  "He's fine, let's deal with those corpses first and then get out of here quickly!"

  Half an hour later, after finishing the aftermath, Liu Wuyan and the other two hastily left with Yi Tian.

  Time flies, two days later.

  In a two-story building in the suburbs, Yi Tian was lying on the bed with his whole body wrapped in gauze, still not waking up from his coma.

  Around them, apart from Liu Yuxuan and Qing She, there was no one else. The two of them were lying on the sofa, dozing off from time to time.

  Suddenly hearing voices, they were startled awake from their drowsiness.

  "Old man... old man..." Yi Tian woke up from his nightmare, with tears streaming down one side of his face and still calling out to Old Man Xu.

  "Yi Tian, you're awake. How do you feel? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?" Liu Wuyan asked with concern as she stepped forward, Qing She also leaned in to look at Yi Tian.

  Yi Tian had just woken up and saw the unfamiliar environment, without thinking much, with tears in his eyes, he hastily opened his mouth: "Quickly, quickly take me home, I want to go home, I want to summon the old man's soul, I want to find his remains! Quickly..."

  With one last cry, he used all his strength to shout it out. Seeing how urgent he was, Liu Wuyan and the others quickly helped him put on his clothes. After the few of them went downstairs, Liu Wuyan supported Yi Tian as they made their way to the back seat of the car, which Qing She drove straight to Kao Shan Village.

  In less than an hour, the car stopped in front of the house. Yi Tian looked at the familiar door and thought of Old Man Xu who was no longer there. Tears suddenly flowed down his face.

  Before Liu Wuyan could support him, he stumbled and ran towards the gate of his home, crying out as he ran: "Old master, I...I'm late coming back...it's all my fault, and I've dragged you down with me..."

  "Wooo... old master..."

  Just as he was about to say something, a loud shout came out, "You little brat, what are you yelling about, calling out for souls?"

  The front door of the main house opened, and Old Man Xu walked out from inside, staring at Yi Tian with his eyes wide open. However, after seeing Yi Tian's injuries, he changed his expression and hastily rushed forward to anxiously ask: "Where did you go and cause trouble again? How did you end up like this?"

  At this time, Yi Tian was completely stunned. The crying also stopped abruptly. With a face that didn't dare to believe, he looked at Old Man Xu and said, "Old man, you... aren't you dead?"

  His words didn't seem to have any effect, but Old Xu's face turned iron-green with rage. He glared and puffed out his mustache, saying: "You little brat, are you looking for a fight? I'm living well, how dare you curse me? If it weren't for the injuries on your body, just see how I'd deal with you!"

  The two of them talking made Liu Wuyan and Qing She stare blankly for half a day, after making a big fuss, this Old Master Xu didn't die after all...

  Thinking again of those who were killed by Yi Tian's madness and died miserably, they had some grievances in their hearts for the dead.

  Of course, these people got what they deserved, but dying was a bit miserable, especially Wang Jun, who was beaten to the point where he was no longer human.

  Yi Tian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Old Man Xu with a wooden expression, and suddenly burst into loud wailing. He rushed forward and hugged Old Man Xu tightly, "You scared me to death! You're not dead, that's good, you'll definitely live to be a hundred!"

  Seeing his sad look, Old Xu pursed his lips and his eyes also became moist. He patted Yi Tian's back and said: "You little scamp, always causing trouble outside."

  Suddenly, he found Yi Tian wiping his nose and tears on his clothes, "You little rascal, that's my clothes, not a rag, let go quickly..."

  Yi Tianxi was overjoyed to the point of tears, and he became somewhat oblivious to his surroundings. He didn't even know what he had done himself. When he let go of Old Man Xu, he discovered that a patch on Old Man Xu's shoulder was already wet.

  He wiped away tears and said apologetically: "Hehe, it's just a piece of clothing, no big deal. When I have time, I'll buy you several more. If you want to wear dragon robes, I'll even buy those for you!"

  At this point, both Liu Wuyan and Qing She couldn't stop laughing.

  Several people then entered the room together, and Old Xu helped Yi Tian onto the warm kang and covered him with a quilt. After a brief introduction and some small talk, Yi Tian asked: "Old man, did our house have an unexpected visitor the night before last, and was stuff smashed up? Where were you at that time?"

  "Oh, that day I went to a family's house for a Buddhist ritual, it was too late and I didn't come back. The next day when I came back, seeing the scene at home, I thought we had been robbed! But after looking around, nothing was missing, so I didn't report it to the police."

  Immediately, Old Xu's face changed, and he interrogated: "What are you asking this for? Won't you have caused trouble outside and brought someone back home?"

  Upon hearing this, Yi Tian was taken aback for a moment before responding quickly: "Hehe, no way, it must be that a thief came and found nothing to steal in our house. In anger and frustration, they smashed things up. Why did they have to come to our house to steal? They're really unlucky!"

  Even Yitian and Liu Wuyan, who were standing by, were speechless at the skill of telling lies. Such a big thing was actually made into a small theft, fortunately this lie was relatively smooth and easy to believe.

  Xu old man nodded, staring at the gauze on Yi Tian's body and said: "Then what's with all these injuries? You weren't beaten up by someone, were you? No way, you've always been a guy who doesn't take losses."

  "Of course!" Yi Tian responded, "However, this time was an accident. While walking on the road at night, I accidentally fell into an uncovered manhole. These are just superficial wounds and will heal in a couple of days. By the way, I'm hungry, would you mind getting me something to eat?"

  Xu old man shook his head and smiled, and didn't continue to ask questions. "Alright, you wait for a while, I'll go out and buy some things, then cook some food for you." Turning around, he smiled at Liu Wuyan and the others: "This child Tian is just naughty, thanks to both of you for sending him back this time. Today at noon, I'll make some delicious food, why don't you two stay and have lunch together? Is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?"

  Liu Wuyan responded politely: "It's nothing, we and Yi Tian are good friends, just helping out a bit, whatever you eat is fine, please go ahead."

  "Right, uncle, just do something casual." Qing She echoed.

  "Heh heh, okay, you all chat first, I'll go out for a bit and come back soon." With that, Old Xu headed outside.

  It wasn't until he walked out the door that Yi Tian finally let out a long sigh, as if all the suppressed emotions in his body had been released, and then he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

  As soon as he saw him, he knew that he was happy to see Xu Lao still alive. It turned out that Wang Jun and his gang had deceived him into going to Wutuo Ridge.

  After a moment, he turned around and said with gratitude: "Thanks to you guys, otherwise I would have been dead for sure. By the way, how did you kill those two people?"

  "Which two people?" asked Liu Wuyan and Qing She in unison.

  "Except for Hong Tao, there are two others, I almost forgot, and there are also two high-level oni. How did you guys do it?" Thinking of the Rakshasa, Yi Tian felt a great deal of doubt, not expecting Liu Wuyan to be so formidable, able to safely resolve all these guys.

  But Liu Wuyan and Qing She were a bit bewildered, "Weren't those killed by you? They were already dead when we passed by!"

  "Yes, they died in a terrifying way."

  "What?!" Yi Tian's eyes widened and he took a sharp breath, "Impossible, I didn't kill them! After I killed Hong Tao, I was exhausted and passed out!"

  "Ah?" Liu Wuyan and Qing She felt a chill run down their spines, never expecting to encounter such a bizarre event. Since Yi Tian didn't kill them, who exactly did?

  Seeing the astonished expressions of Liu and Wu, Yi Tian felt that it wasn't their doing after all. Thinking carefully, they really didn't have the ability to deal with high-level ghosts, which made him think endlessly.

  The scene suddenly fell silent, everyone was thinking about something with a worried look. After a while, Yi Tian still couldn't think of anything, but the most likely possibility was... Master had come, killed someone, and left!

  This is a result that allows him to think through, and after a little more deliberation, he confirmed this possibility.

  Then he asked again: "What about the evidence? Is it still there?"

  "Don't worry, while you were unconscious for the past two days, I've already handed those materials over to my friend, and Sun Hui also helped get them passed on. This morning, I made a phone call to inquire, and just last night, Deputy County Head Wang Xikun has been taken into custody, the specific outcome will have to wait for a while!"

  Yi Tian nodded his head in approval of the result, this was his two-handed preparation, if Wang Xikun couldn't be convicted and sentenced, then he would also die from the Feng Shui Bureau at home.

  Suddenly, he thought of another person and frowned, asking: "That day at Wutong Ridge, Dong Wenchang left alone first, did you kill him?"

  "What? Dong Wenchang is also here? We didn't notice him at the time, otherwise he would have definitely not left alive!" Liu Wuyan's expression was serious as she said: "Do we directly..."

  Before she finished speaking, Yi Tian let out a somewhat entangled long sigh, "Don't take action against him for now, find out his exact location first. I want to have a talk with him, the price that should be paid will be paid sooner or later!"
