I waved my hand and said, "Don't call me godfather. I'm not joking with you, nor am I testing you."

"I'm used to seeing people of the martial world, but I haven't seen many officials."

"I just feel that the world needs the Shang Lin Hermit who died at his post back then."

"It is my fault that I took away a Shang Xingyan and returned an unworthy official."

"Go!"

I looked at Shang Xingyan and said, "If you're worried, everyone in Liangjie Tang can swear a blood oath to Heaven, never to reveal our intersection."

"As for that Pei Haohong, I can make his soul fly away and scatter."

Shang Xingyan looked at me for a long time, unable to say a word.

I waved to Ye Yang and said, "Leng Gou, Huan Zi, you two help me send Lord Shang back to the underworld."

Shang Xingyan left without saying a word, bowing deeply to me before leaving.

When Shang Xingyan straightened his back and stepped into the void, the aura of righteousness around him began to rise.

Wang Butcher walked up behind me and said, "You went to so much trouble to bring him under your command, but now you say you don't want him anymore. Don't you regret it?"

I laughed, "It's a pity, a bit of a pity. After all, he might have become a major chess piece under the Ancestral Master."

"But, come to think of it, there's nothing to regret."

"The human world needs good officials, and the underworld needs gentlemen."

"If the human world and the underworld are both in chaos, it's a tragedy to be a human or a ghost!"

I laughed, "I can't be a righteous gentleman in this life, but I can't destroy one, can I?"

I turned to look at Pei Haohong lying on the ground and said, "Do it! Destroy his soul, and we should go too."

"Wait a minute!" Pei Haohong sat up by himself, "I have something to say."

I said in a deep voice, "I don't want to waste any more words with you..."

Before I could finish, Xia Mengying stopped me, "Give him a chance to speak, okay?"

I really intended to destroy Pei Haohong's soul.

My conversation with Shang Xingyan just now was intended to use Shang Xingyan's words to shatter all of Pei Haohong's beliefs.

No matter who it is, after a mental breakdown, there is nothing left to hold on to. You ask him anything, and he will say anything.

It's a pity that I softened at the last moment and let Shang Xingyan go.

In this way, Shang Xingyan has become the idol of this old geezer, Pei Haohong, again. His belief has not collapsed, but has become stronger.

There's no reasoning with this kind of person who only has one track mind.

Instead of arguing with him, it's better to kill him quickly so we can go back and support Lao Liu.

However, Xia Mengying had spoken, so I couldn't say much. I just waved my hand to signal Pei Haohong to continue.

Pei Haohong said, "I know what you're here to do."

"Now, the only thing that can save the Confucian school is the coffin that was buried in Shanglin Village."

"That's the Soul Gathering Coffin of the Coffin Gate (Guan Cai Men)!"

I was slightly shocked and said, "What did you say?"

"How could the treasure of the Coffin Gate (Guan Cai Men) end up in Shanglin Village and be suppressed under the memorial arch?"

Pei Haohong said, "The Soul Gathering Coffin is the core of the Zhenmo Stele Forest in Banxian Village!"

"The forty-nine Zhenmo steles in the stele forest are all assisting the Soul Gathering Coffin. Adding one more or taking one away doesn't make much difference to the stele forest."

"That's why the Reincarnation Division was able to borrow the Zhenmo stele from Banxian Village."

"Originally, there were five major families in Banxian Village, and the Pei family was one of them."

"There is a rule in Banxian Village that each family must send a great Confucian scholar to take turns guarding the stele forest academy, for ten years at a time."

"During these ten years, the family that sends the great Confucian scholar is the head of Banxian Village."

When I heard this, I turned to look at Xia Mengying. The latter nodded to me.

In that case, there are at least four Confucian cultivators in Banxian Village who can rival the Tiangang realm experts.

I casually asked, "What realm have you reached?"

"Close to a great Confucian scholar!" Pei Haohong's words made me gasp in cold air.

Pei Haohong is only close to a great Confucian scholar, but he can fight four opponents and suppress us all. If a real great Confucian scholar takes action, wouldn't we have no chance of winning?

This is the true strength of a sect.

I was really lucky to have taken down Aoxue Sect earlier.

Pei Haohong didn't know that I was secretly shocked and continued, "The fifteenth generation great Confucian scholar of the Pei family, who was also the family's younger brother, was ordered to enter the stele forest. But it turned the entire Pei family into traitors of Banxian Village."

"The great Confucian scholar should have been the existence to suppress demons. No one expected that the fifteenth generation great Confucian scholar, Pei Yu, would secretly kill all the disciples of the stele forest academy and betray Banxian Village with the Soul Gathering Coffin."

"Such a serious crime would involve even nine generations of relatives in the Confucian school. The Pei family also became Confucian rebels, their cultivation was abolished, and they were expelled from Banxian Village."

"At that time, the Pei family was unable to gain a foothold in this area and had to move north as a clan."

"However, the Pei family has never forgotten that we are still Confucian disciples. The disciples we cultivated are also looking for Pei Yu everywhere, in order to retrieve the Soul Gathering Coffin and return to Banxian Village."
