Facing the sixty-something "Miss Liu," Long Feicheng immediately cowered and hurriedly said:
"Miss Liu... ah no, Grandma Liu, we were ignorant just now and have offended you. Please don't take it to heart!"
Liu Ying, who was driving, chuckled, as if she could already see the embarrassment on Long Feicheng's face.
Who would have thought that Han San would grit his teeth and say, "It's not impossible..."
"Holy crap!"
Everyone in the car was shocked. Yan Shouyi looked at Han San in disbelief, "Han San, I won't call you Han San anymore, nor will I call you Han Gou Wang. Can I call you Third Brother? You're too hard on yourself!"
Long Feicheng was also full of admiration, "Third Brother, you're simply a wolf with an extra three points and a horizontal stroke more than a fierce person!"
Liu Zhiqiao probably didn't expect Han San to be so desperate, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to tease Han San casually anymore.
"Then the problem arises," Long Feicheng showed a rare thoughtful expression, "A female ghost with the appearance of an eighteen-year-old girl but with a psychological age of sixty-something, is she considered a young girl or a grandmother?"
"Xiao Long!" Yan Shouyi said angrily, "That's very impolite of you."
Liu Zhiqiao waved her hand and said, "I don't mind discussing this. In fact, I also want to clarify it."
Seeing that Liu Zhiqiao did not object, Long Feicheng discussed it more seriously. Han San, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say:
"This question reminds me of another question I heard before: if your wife's soul switches with her best friend's, and you must do intimate things to restore it, would you choose your wife's soul in your best friend's body, or your wife's body with your best friend's soul?"
"This..." Yan Shouyi fell into a dilemma.
It seemed that no matter how he chose, it felt somewhat wrong.
Liu Zhiqiao said, "A body is just a vessel, the soul is the most important thing, so one should choose the wife's soul in the best friend's body."
Liu Ying couldn't accept it, "But if the body is defiled, it's also unforgivable... I'd rather choose the wife's body with the best friend's soul... Ah, this is also wrong!"
"Hahahaha!"
Long Feicheng laughed heartily, squinting his eyes and saying, "Only children make choices, adults naturally want them all. I choose all three."
"Lewd!" The women in the car couldn't stand it any longer and almost threw Long Feicheng out of the car.
As they were fooling around, they reached the mountain and arrived at the crematorium.
Shen Shuzhen, Xu Qian, and others were still sad and distressed about Yan Shouyi's matter. Suddenly, seeing a car drive in, they became vigilant.
But they soon recognized the car belonged to Liu Ying. Shen Shuzhen ordered:
"The visitor is Liu Ying, a disciple of Yin Tang. Let her in!"
The gatekeepers let them pass, and the car drove directly to the square. Everyone was confused about why Liu Ying had come at this time.
Didn't storytellers like them always stay out of such matters?
After Liu Ying got out of the car, she greeted Shen Shuzhen, "Hello, Grandma Shen!"
Shen Shuzhen frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Look what you're saying. We are all descendants of folk sects, can't I come?" Liu Ying blinked her eyes. "Moreover, I was the one who told Yan Shouyi and the others the truth about the tragic case of the Shen family."
Xu Qian, lying on a stretcher, quickly spoke up for Liu Ying, "Grandma Shen, it's true. Miss Liu has been a great help to us."
Ying Jiu questioned, "Didn't Yin Tang announce to the public long ago that they would not interfere with the affairs of the five great Ghost King families?"
"Master is Master, I am me," Liu Ying said calmly. "I didn't speak before because I thought you were incapable of changing the situation. Later, when Yan Shouyi arrived, I spoke."
Hearing Liu Ying mention Yan Shouyi, Shen Shuzhen felt another pang of pain in her heart.
Just then, Liu Ying patted the car door and shouted, "Stop hiding, get out of the car."
Long Feicheng and Han San couldn't hold it in anymore and jumped out of the trunk. Xu Qian's expression turned very grim and guilty when he saw them.
He was about to apologize when he saw the rear door of the car being pushed open, and Yan Shouyi walked out, unharmed!
"Brother Yan?!"
Xu Qian thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes. Then he struggled to turn his body to look, but no matter how he looked, Yan Shouyi was standing alive and well before them!
"Sorry for making everyone worry, I'm not dead," Yan Shouyi said with a smile.
"This..."
Everyone forgot their joy, feeling only astonishment. They stared at each other, not understanding what had happened.
Cui Yu couldn't help but slap himself, to confirm if he was dreaming.
Duan Mu couldn't help but say, "When we left, I clearly saw you being attacked by that Ghost King from the Zhou family..."
"That Zhou family Ghost King had only recently advanced and his strength was unstable. Although I was at a disadvantage, I managed to win narrowly," Yan Shouyi explained.
Shen Shuzhen shook her head and stepped forward to grasp Yan Shouyi's hand, "Good child! It's good that you're alive! It's good that you're alive!!"
Seeing Shen Shuzhen's concern, Yan Shouyi felt a warmth in his heart. They were all descendants of folk sects, and in the end, they were all family.
Long Feicheng said proudly, "I told you, how could Brother Yan possibly die! I didn't believe it at the time!"
Han San teased, "Yes, yes, yes, then who was crying their eyes out by the roadside just now? A dog?"
"Well said, you're not allowed to say that next time," Long Feicheng glared at Han San.
Yan Shouyi was not dead, and tonight's battle was a great victory.
The biggest loss was that Xu Qian had a few ribs broken.
But even though Xu Qian was injured, the Zhou family was destroyed!
Compared to that, this minor injury was not worth mentioning!
Everyone's sorrow was swept away, and smiles adorned everyone's faces.
Yan Shouyi asked, "Grandma Shen, what was the outcome tonight?"
"Come, come, let's talk inside!"
Shen Shuzhen had just recovered from her illness, but her complexion was better than ever. She led everyone into the house and began to detail the battle's achievements tonight.
Tonight, Zhou Yuhu and his newly cultivated Ghost King had vanished into thin air. Moreover, Yan Shouyi had led everyone to rescue the souls of the Shen family women. Tomorrow, Shen Shuzhen could take these souls back to win over the Shen family. And because of Han San, the Yao family had explicitly stated their willingness to help.
In just three days, these five great Ghost King families had fallen apart. The Yu family, which had dominated Qiantang for many years, had lost its left and right arms, leaving only the Wei family!
With Shen Shuzhen's people, plus the help of the Shen family Ghost King and the Yao family Ghost King, they now had the confidence and opportunity to fight against the Yu and Wei families!
Speaking of this, Shen Shuzhen was extremely excited. She had been in Qiantang for so many years and had never imagined such a day would come.
And all of this was because of Yan Shouyi, an outsider.
At this moment, everyone looked at Yan Shouyi with indescribable respect!
Even Liu Ying praised, "Yan Shouyi, from what I know of you, your arrival could change the situation in Qiantang, which is why I told you the news. But I didn't expect your actions to be so swift!"
Yan Shouyi cupped his fists and said, "It's also thanks to Miss Liu's well-informed news, otherwise, even if I stayed in Qiantang for three months, I might not have found the weakness of the five great Ghost King families. And I also have to thank Miss Liu for her help, otherwise, if I were still lying in the Yin mansion in Xiaoshan, I would have been in mortal danger if the Zhou family or the Yu family's Ghost Kings came."
Liu Zhiqiao, who was standing by, smiled faintly.
Because of Liu Zhiqiao's tattoo, the malevolent energy within Yan Shouyi now had a double layer of protection.
The first layer was naturally the method of controlling malevolent energy taught by General Qing Jiang, and the second layer was Liu Zhiqiao's demon-suppressing tattoo.
With this double layer of protection, Yan Shouyi's control over the malevolent energy within him greatly increased.
He was even certain that the next time he fought a Ghost King, he could directly use the malevolent energy within him to greatly enhance his strength, and there would be no serious after-effects or side effects!
Without the help of this malevolent energy, Yan Shouyi guessed that he would need at least five more years of cultivation to be able to confront a Ghost King head-on!
And Liu Zhiqiao's tattoo had allowed him to skip these five years of cultivation...
Duan Mu said at this time, "Now only the Yu and Wei families remain. Let's strike while the iron is hot. I'll go gather our brothers and kill our way directly to the Yu and Wei families!"
"Senior Duan, please remain calm!" Yan Shouyi quickly stopped Duan Mu.
Duan Mu asked doubtfully, "Mr. Yan, is there something wrong with what I said?"
Yan Shouyi shook his head and explained:
"The Zhou family incident will inevitably be discovered by the Yu family Ghost King sooner or later. When they realize they have been tricked, they will certainly be furious. So, the ones who should be anxious are not us, but the Yu family Ghost King."
Shen Shuzhen asked, "Shouyi, do you already have a plan?"
"Since the initiative is in our hands, we should naturally maximize our advantage!" Yan Shouyi said confidently. "We don't need to make a move against the Yu and Wei families at all. We just need to stay here at the crematorium, and they will come to us themselves!"
"You mean..." Liu Ying asked curiously, "You want to use this place as the final battlefield and lure the Yu and Wei families up the mountain?"
Yan Shouyi nodded, "This is our advantage, why should we give up home turf and run to the unfathomable Yu and Wei families?"
"That makes sense!" Shen Shuzhen smiled. "You people with the surname Yan are indeed cunning old foxes!"
"Ahem, Grandma Shen, you flatter me."
Yan Shouyi smiled humbly, then said seriously, "I plan to set up various feng shui formations around the crematorium. When the Yu and Wei families kill their way up, we'll wear them down a few times, which will minimize our losses."
As the saying goes, a fall into a pit makes one wiser. Tonight, encountering an unexpected Ghost King in the Zhou family's Yin mansion in Xiaoshan resulted in Xu Qian being seriously injured, which made Yan Shouyi feel extremely guilty.
That's why he had this plan.
And he was a descendant of Lu Ban. Perhaps in terms of dragon veins and feng shui in mountains and rivers, his skills were inferior to the Yan family of Kunlun Mountain, but in terms of small feng shui in houses and courtyards, no one in the world could compare! If Yan Shouyi set it up meticulously, by the time the Yu and Wei families charged up the mountain, the crematorium would no longer be a crematorium, but an impregnable iron barrel full of thorns!
If the Yu and Wei families wanted to break in, they would have to shed a layer of skin!
