Chapter 1236 The Kong Family Compound

I could read Xia Mengying's expression.

Besides doubt, there was fear in her eyes.

Xia Mengying wasn't afraid of death, but she was afraid that her beliefs would collapse at any moment.

I sent a voice transmission to Xia Mengying, saying, "Leave it to me!" Then I turned to Pei Haohong: "Instructor Pei, since this is a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that! Farewell!"

"Let's go!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I turned and walked out without even looking back.

However, Butcher Wang sent a voice transmission from behind: "Aren't you going to ask about it? We haven't gotten what we wanted yet!"

"This person is not to be trusted!"

I responded, "Think about it, when did the Shanglin Community start its renovations? It should have been more than ten years ago, right?"

"Since Pei Haohong is so desperate to return to the Confucian school, why didn't he take the Soul Gathering Coffin to the Banxian Villa after obtaining it? Or simply take the coffin to other great Confucians to seek justice?"

"The people of the Confucian school may be stubborn, but they are not unreasonable."

"Back then, Pei Yu stole the Soul Gathering Coffin, and he died inside the coffin."

"With such a big question mark, wouldn't the people of the Confucian school be suspicious?"

"Why does Pei Haohong have to use the Soul Gathering Coffin to set up a forbidden ghost and god zone here?"

"He said it was to find a successor to clear the Pei family's name, so why didn't he fulfill the Pei family's long-cherished wish during his lifetime? This explanation doesn't make sense!"

I paused and said, "Also, how far is the Shanglin Community from Banxian Villa?"

"Only an hour's drive."

"When Banxian Villa launched a large-scale pursuit of Pei Yu, would they have ignored the Shanglin Community?"

"This also doesn't make sense."

I quickly said the third suspicious point: "There's also the point that he claimed he was assigned to the combat team when he infiltrated Banxian Villa."

"What did he use to deal with the ferocious demons?"

"Talismans? Arrays? Or martial arts and hidden weapons?"

"Do the people of the Confucian school know these things?"

"As soon as he made a move, his identity would be exposed."

"If he managed to muddle through in Banxian Villa for a year without being discovered, it would be even more inexplicable, unless the people of Banxian Villa were all blind."

Butcher Wang said in a low voice: "Then why didn't you take him down just now?"

I shook my head and said, "With so many of us working together, we might not be able to defeat him."

"However, this Shanglin Community is his home field, and we would have to pay a considerable price to take him down. Moreover, I suspect that this Pei Haohong is just a pawn, and taking him down wouldn't mean much."

"If the other party has locked onto us, he will definitely appear again."

As I was speaking, I clearly felt someone approaching us, but they suddenly disappeared without a trace because of Lin Zhao's hurried return.

I looked at Lin Zhao and said, "Why are you running? Are you being chased by a ghost?"

Lin Zhao rolled his eyes and said, "Just now, that ghost and god sent me a voice transmission as he was leaving, telling me to tell you that the Soul Gathering Coffin frequently appears in the nearby Kong family's mansion."

I asked in confusion, "What does that mean?"

Lin Zhao spread his hands and said, "I don't know what it means. That's just what he told me."

Shang Xingyan has something to say to her instead of me?

Does Shang Xingyan mean that Pei Haohong carried the Soul Gathering Coffin out and brought the ghost and god from the Kong family's villa back to the Shanglin Community?

Or is Shang Xingyan's words meant for someone else to hear?

Butcher Wang said knowingly: "Back then, the Pei family used Lao Shang's memorial arch to suppress the Soul Gathering Coffin. The coffin is stained with Lao Shang's aura, and he can sense where the coffin is."

"Lao Shang seems not to care about his memorial arch, but in fact, he cares about it more than anyone else."

"If he didn't come back to check every now and then, how could a single memorial arch suppress the magic tool left by the Nine Coffin Taoist?"

I pondered, "That makes sense! Let's go to the Kong family's villa to take a look. Lin Zhao, you check what's going on with the Kong family's mansion."

As I spoke, I had already gotten into the car.

After Xia Mengying sat down, she asked, "Li Po, why didn't you ask about the Soul Gathering Coffin just now?"

I replied helplessly, "The Soul Gathering Coffin that has fallen into the martial world is actually the same as the Demon Suppressing Tablet we obtained at the beginning. It has long become an unowned object, and whoever gets it can keep it."

"When I had the Demon Suppressing Tablet, Banxian Villa didn't come to ask for it. If I go to ask Old Man Pei for the Soul Gathering Coffin, wouldn't that be slapping myself in the face?"

"We still need to have some face in this matter!"

My words were half true and half false.

According to the rules of the martial world, I indeed have no right to ask for the Soul Gathering Coffin, but I can discuss buying it back from the other party.

The reason I didn't mention the Soul Gathering Coffin was to wait for the other party to speak up first, so I could see what his purpose was.

Since Pei Haohong didn't say anything himself, I could only find a way to force him to speak.

After a while, Lin Zhao said, "Little Orange has found it."

"That Kong family's mansion is the most famous haunted house within a few hundred miles, and even the developers don't dare to touch it."

"The original owner of the Kong family's mansion was also a famous Confucian scholar in the local area. The place where Banxian Villa was first located should be the current Kong family's mansion."
