Ka Meng quickly calmed down: "What can you do with just a fan? It only has four ghost-gods inside."

"You'll find out soon enough." Old Liu smiled and poured a cup of wine for each of them. "When watching a show, you either sip tea or drink wine."

"Watching a show about killing, it's better to drink wine."

"The wine can cover up the smell of blood."

"Hall Master, please!"

Just as Ka Meng's expression changed drastically, a head was suddenly thrown down from the room upstairs.

The head, with its face covered by long hair and overflowing with Yin energy, fell to the ground as lightly as a piece of paper, staring at Ka Meng with wide eyes.

The horror in her eyes hadn't faded yet.

"You killed the black-clothed maids?" Ka Meng subconsciously said as heads began to fall from the air one after another.

Before long, the hall of the inn was filled with writhing heads.

Old Liu said calmly, "Without magical artifacts or spiritual talismans, without true energy, we can still kill ghost-gods."

"Come, let's give Hall Master Huo a performance."

As Old Liu raised his eyes, Ka Meng also looked in the direction Old Liu was looking.

A dark figure held a sharp knife in his right hand and covered the mouth and nose of a black-clothed maid with his left. From the black-clothed maid's expression, it could be seen that she had no idea what was grabbing her from behind.

The dark figure holding the knife gently pulled the handle back, cutting off the black-clothed maid's head and casually throwing it on the ground.

The dark figure bowed slightly to Old Liu from several meters away before disappearing into the darkness.

Ka Meng stammered, "Ghost-gods! Do you have other ghost-gods in your Liangjie Tang?"

Old Liu clapped his hands lightly, and Peeler and Boner all stepped forward, each throwing a package on the ground—all of which were filled with bloody fingers.

Peeler sneered grimly, "There wasn't enough time to peel off the skin one by one, so I could only chop off the fingers and bring them to the master."

Old Liu picked up his wine glass and said, "Hall Master Huo, would you like to count them and see if they match your subordinates?"

Old Liu said, "I know Hall Master Huo definitely has a final desperate measure."

"You can also try to see if you can leave half of our Liangjie Tang's forces behind."

"Oh, right, I seem to remember that there's a rule in the Reincarnation Department: those who die in battle with merit will be rewarded; those who die in battle without merit will be punished!"

"I think there must be many people waiting to punish you!"

Ka Meng slumped into the chair. He knew very well that even if he set Phoenix City on fire now, he wouldn't be able to keep Old Liu. In that case, they would have died in vain: "What do you want?"

"No rush, no rush!" Old Liu said, "A good show has only just begun. We have to see the end before we talk about conditions, right?"

Old Liu waved his hand, and a Ghost Guard placed the ghost artifact bronze mirror, which the Embroidered Uniform Guard used specifically for communication, on a table not far away.

The bronze mirror showed the location of the Reincarnation Department's headquarters. However, at this time, the Reincarnation Department was heavily surrounded by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Shang Xingyan, sitting in a sedan carried by eight people, slowly got out of the sedan and walked slowly to the front of the Reincarnation Department, putting his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "This official has already given your Reincarnation Department the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. The master you're asking for should be here by now, right?"

The civil official Nalan Huaide, whom we had met once on the snowy mountain, walked out with a smile on his face: "Lord Shang, why such a commotion?"

Shang Xingyan responded with a smile that was not a smile, "By order of the Guan Zhu, to arrest Huangquan smugglers and investigate officials of the Yin Division who secretly released ghosts. Lord Nalan, you wouldn't want to stop this official, would you?"

Nalan Huaide's expression darkened slightly, and a civil official behind him sternly said, "Li Chunfeng's hand is reaching too far, isn't it?"

Shang Xingyan sneered in response: "This lord wants to stop the Embroidered Uniform Guard from doing their job?"

"Men, take him down and bring him back to the prison for detailed interrogation."

Nalan Huaide didn't expect that Shang Xingyan wouldn't say any extra words and would just take action to arrest people. "Wait a minute."

Shang Xingyan said with amusement, "Lord Nalan also wants to stop the Embroidered Uniform Guard from doing their job?"

Nalan Huaide said sternly: "Shang Xingyan, listen to me clearly."

"No matter how fierce and tyrannical your Embroidered Uniform Guard is, no matter how rampant you are, you must recognize the bottom line. The civil official faction is not someone you can easily handle."

"This matter, this official will immediately report to the judges and ask them to uphold justice!"

Shang Xingyan laughed loudly: "Lord Nalan, I advise you not to get burned. Everything you do now will be recorded by this official, and when we get to Yama, there will be a fair judgment."

Nalan Huaide couldn't help but pause slightly: "Does the Embroidered Uniform Guard want to frame the Four Great Judges?"

"Today, if Lord Shang doesn't give this official a satisfactory answer, I'm afraid Li Chunfeng won't be able to explain himself to Yama."

Shang Xingyan hesitated: "Lord Nalan really wants an answer?"

Nalan Huaide said: "This official has already made it very clear."

Shang Xingyan nodded: "Then please ask the adults to dismiss the people around them, and you and I will talk alone?"

Nalan Huaide's subordinates said anxiously, "Sir, be careful of fraud!"

Nalan Huaide waved his hand: "I believe Lord Shang wouldn't do anything to this official at this time and in this place."

As Nalan Huaide spoke, the scene on the bronze mirror turned pitch black, obviously because Nalan Huaide had blocked the view around the bronze mirror.
