"Heh heh heh, you dumb idiot Bai Muyu, did you think we were really going to risk our lives! Brother Yan, your Golden Cicada Shedding Skin trick was too awesome!"
In the backyard of the Bai family, the true bodies of Yan Shouyi and the other two emerged from an inconspicuous corner.
The Golden Cicada Shedding Skin technique was prepared by Yan Shouyi in advance through A Gong. It was a supreme skill of paper figures, and it was perfectly used to toy with Bai Muyu.
If they had bravely barged in from the front, Bai Muyu and the other Bai family members would have done everything they could to stop them.
By the time they reached the backyard, it would have been too late.
Yan Shouyi reminded them, "Don't get happy too soon. Bai Muyu is just a puppet. The more terrifying enemy is still behind."
"You mean Tong Jingcheng?" Long Feicheng thought for a moment and said, "What's there to fear about Tong Jingcheng? In the end, he's a living person. How scary can a living person be compared to a ghost? I only regret not having a gun, otherwise I would just blast him!"
Hearing Long Feicheng's words, Yan Shouyi and Xue Kai actually felt there was some truth to it.
No matter how powerful a living person was, they were afraid of bullets, right?
If Tong Jingcheng could really be taken down with a single shot, things would be much easier...
There were almost no people in the backyard of the Bai family, but that didn't mean there was no defense.
Before the three had taken more than a few steps, a patrol of Four Symbols Sect disciples appeared ahead.
Before Yan Shouyi could speak, Xue Kai, like a shadow, easily infiltrated the group of disciples.
Then, he drew two daggers from his sleeve.
With a flash of cold light, the Four Symbols Sect disciples all fell to the ground, their throats slit, unable to even let out a sound.
Seeing this, Yan Shouyi frowned and sighed.
His father had arranged for Xue Kai to be his shadow, and Xue Kai had also embraced his identity, so he killed without batting an eye.
Killing was not Yan Shouyi's style, but given the current circumstances, there was no other way.
He and Long Feicheng went forward together, dragging the bodies into a hidden corner to be concealed, to prevent them from being discovered.
Long Feicheng said, "Where will Big Sister-in-law be hidden? What if we can't find her?"
"Don't worry, I can find her."
Yan Shouyi remembered the wooden watch he had given to Lin Zitong. It contained Yan Shouyi's aura, which was as accurate as a GPS positioning system.
So, Yan Shouyi whistled, and the San Yuan circling in the air immediately responded.
San Yuan was very sensitive to the aura and quickly located Lin Zitong's position, transmitting the information to Yan Shouyi.
"Follow me,"
Yan Shouyi said in a deep voice.
...
Bai Family Ancestral Hall.
Cold candlelight flickered from the red candles.
Tong Jingcheng, dressed in wedding attire, handed a piece of red cloth to Lin Zitong.
He held one end, and Lin Zitong was to hold the other, symbolizing a union in marriage.
After receiving the red cloth, it was time to pay respects to heaven and earth. Lin Zitong gritted her teeth and did not reach out to take it.
Tong Jingcheng was silent for a moment and said, "Are you stalling for time?"
Lin Zitong did not answer.
Tong Jingcheng said coldly, "Yan Shouyi will not come. Even if he does, he will only add another corpse to this ancestral hall."
Seeing that Lin Zitong still did not respond, Tong Jingcheng winked at his subordinate beside him.
Two burly men immediately stepped forward, forced Lin Zitong to her feet, and prepared to make her bow to Tong Jingcheng!
"Let go of me!"
Lin Zitong struggled violently. Although she was just a woman, her strength was not small, and the two burly men found it somewhat difficult to restrain her.
Tong Jingcheng's expression gradually darkened.
He raised his hand, and on his wrist, he wore a soul-calling bell very similar to the one on Lin Zitong's hand.
The soul-calling bell was a unique magical artifact of the Lu Shan Sect. As long as one wore it, they could control ghosts more easily.
With three rings of the bell, two shadowy figures possessed the two burly men. The men's faces suddenly turned green, their eyes showing only whites, making them look much fiercer than before.
Even more frightening was that their heels were raised off the ground.
These were clear signs of demonic possession!
After being possessed, the two burly men's strength increased several times, and Lin Zitong could no longer resist.
At the same time, Tong Jingcheng called out, and the musicians beside them began to play a strange wedding tune.
The melody was ethereal and lingering, lacking the joy and merriment of a wedding, but instead carrying a faint sadness.
Upon closer listening, this was not a wedding tune at all, but clearly funeral music!
A gust of Yin wind blew, turning all the red cloths into white cloths and the red candles into white candles. Above the ancestral hall, the white "囍" character appeared particularly jarring.
In an instant, the Bai family's ancestral hall looked incredibly eerie.
This was a ghostly wedding!!
"First bow to heaven and earth!"
Lin Zitong struggled with all her might, but she was no match for the two possessed burly men. Her head was forcibly pressed down.
A trace of a smile gradually appeared on Tong Jingcheng's face.
At the same time, above the three formation eyes of the Refining Evil Rebirth Array, dark clouds suddenly gathered!!
The demons and monsters sealed at the formation eyes, like snakes, insects, rats, and ants anticipating an earthquake, became restless and scurried about in a panic!
"Second bow to the elders!!"
Boom!!!
Heavy rain poured from the sky, and a strong wind raged across the land. The students of Shanghang Art School seemed to sense the impending misfortune and hurried back to their dormitories, looking worriedly out the window.
In Ping'an Building, ghosts wailed and attacked each other in a frenzy.
Lu Jingsheng, the Sect Master of the Lu Shan Sect, stood on the rooftop of Ping'an Building at this moment.
He glanced at the surrounding situation and said with a gloomy expression, "Act quickly! Tong Jingcheng has already activated the Refining Evil Rebirth Array!!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!!!"
Tong Jingcheng turned around, facing Lin Zitong, his face full of tenderness. "Yi Rou, wait a moment longer, we will meet soon."
Lin Zitong used all her strength. She did not want to bow, did not want to make this last bow!!
However, the strength of the two burly men was too great. Her waist slowly bent, and her head gradually lowered...
But at this moment!
Clang!!!
A black long saber suddenly flew in from outside the door, like an arrow, and embedded itself between Lin Zitong and Tong Jingcheng!
From the gap in the veil, Lin Zitong clearly saw the appearance of the long saber, and her face instantly lit up with joy!
This was the Zanpakuto!
Yan Shouyi had arrived!!
"Stinky girl, I'm here!!"
A familiar voice sounded, and Lin Zitong finally felt relieved, slumping directly to the ground.
She had almost broken her spine resisting the two possessed burly men just now.
Now, relieved, she had no strength left.
Tong Jingcheng's eyes turned cold as he looked towards the door.
His plan was clearly just one step away from completion!
At this moment, he would not allow anyone to disrupt it!!
Outside the ancestral hall door, Yan Shouyi, Long Feicheng, and Xue Kai had already subdued all the Four Symbols Sect disciples.
Yan Shouyi adjusted his tie and met Tong Jingcheng's gaze.
Long Feicheng, who was beside him, was stunned. "Brother Yan, this guy doesn't seem to be Bai Yusheng. Did we come to the wrong place?"
"He is indeed not Bai Yusheng, he is Tong Jingcheng," Yan Shouyi said calmly.
