Shang Xingyan almost burst into tears, "The list you gave me last time involved many high-ranking civil officials. If Grand Marshal Wuchang hadn't personally intervened, I wouldn't have been able to arrest those people without solid evidence."

"I haven't even finished interrogating those people, and some are already clamoring to take Zhu Ziyan back for questioning. Later, the Grand Marshal stepped in again to suppress the matter."

"The people you've named now, even the Grand Marshal can't suppress! You're going to tear the sky apart!"

I said helplessly, "Old Shang, why can't you understand?"

"Why don't you hurry back and torture those people, use coercion and enticement to dig out the inside story? Wouldn't you be done with the evidence in hand?"

Shang Xingyan trembled, "My young master! Why can't you understand?"

"You've fallen for a trick within a trick!"

Shang Xingyan pointed at Zhu Ziyan and said, "Didn't you promise to protect her? And made a sorcerer's contract?"

"Yes! That's right!" I just said one sentence, and Shang Xingyan scolded, "Isn't that falling for a trick?"

"Let me tell you, right now, it doesn't matter whether you take out this list or not."

"The people on the list know they will be implicated sooner or later. So, they must silence her. If they can't find Zhu Zining, they'll have to find Zhu Ziyan to silence."

"You have a contract, giving up Zhu Ziyan will be punished by heaven, earth, and the gods! If you don't, then the civil officials have a hundred reasons to kill you. Don't think there aren't experts among the ghost messengers. The ghost messengers under the Four Judges are comparable to Yin Division Ghost Generals. If a real fight breaks out, you are no match."

I couldn't help but frown, "How did I not think of this!"

Zhu Ziyan waved her hands in fright, "I didn't know it would be like this, I didn't mean to harm you."

I smiled faintly, "Old Shang, go back, do whatever you need to do, don't worry about me, I can handle things here myself."

Before Shang Xingyan could speak, Zhu Ziyan couldn't stand it, "Why aren't you afraid? Have you counted how many people are chasing you? There are only three of you, can you handle it? You quickly mobilize experts from Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall) to protect you!"

"Shut up!" I unceremoniously put the knife on Zhu Ziyan's neck, "Old Shang, go back! With you here, I can't act freely. Go!"

Shang Xingyan hesitated for a long time before cupping his fist and saying, "Young Master, be careful. I'll prepare an elite force for you, you can mobilize them at any time if you need them. Although our Embroidered Uniform Guard (Xiu Yi Wei) isn't confident enough to face top-level civil officials, we won't be cowed into doing nothing when something happens to the Young Master."

I smiled and took Shang Xingyan's token, "I thank you in advance, but I may not need this."

After I sent Shang Xingyan away, I asked Su Su to rent another car and headed to Jinsheng Company.

Zhu Ziyan couldn't help but ask on the way, "Li Po, what method do you have to deal with the ghost messengers? Do you need my help?"

"I really need your help!" I turned to look at Zhu Ziyan and said, "The fake Jiu Gui (Nine Ghosts) are enough to deal with the ghost messengers."

"Jiu Gui said: Only we can kill our disciples. They will never allow anyone else to interfere, even if it's beneficial to them! That Mr. Jing copied ninety-nine percent of Jiu Gui, he will definitely copy this characteristic as well."

Zhu Ziyan said, "But the fake Jiu Gui are being controlled!"

I turned my head and smiled, "That's why! You have to find that person."

"We'll each fight our own battles!"

Just as Zhu Ziyan was about to speak, I added, "Don't tell me you haven't done anything to Wu! Even if you really haven't, can't you contact Yu Qingzhu?"

Zhu Ziyan gritted her teeth, "I can find Wu, but if you find him, can you kill him?"

"That's my business, when the time comes, you can choose to run!" I left a sentence and leaned back in the seat.

Zhu Ziyan said, "Then you guys drive slower, I need to think of a way!"

Zhu Ziyan told me: Wu has a characteristic, which is that every time he goes to a place, he chooses to use the local legends to hide his identity. So, if you want to find Wu, you have to start with the nearby legends.

Back then, the reason why Wu was mistaken by my dad as a mountain spirit and suppressed was because he happened to be hiding in a dragon king legend in our village.

I've heard that legend too, but I don't remember it very well. It seems to say that there is a sin dragon suppressed under our village.

Therefore, the waterways under our village are so well-connected, because the dragon will swim under the village.

According to Zhu Ziyan, my dad wanted to introduce the dragon soul into my body, to form a complementary and mutually restraining pattern with the Tianlang (Heavenly Wolf) soul. To save my life!

He discovered the coffin used to suppress the dragon under the mountain stone in the backyard of my house, and also explored the dragon soul inside.

As a result, what he suppressed was Wu!

Wu also had a ruthless streak. After being suppressed by my dad, he not only didn't move or explain, but also pretended to be a demon dragon and sucked rooster blood. It wasn't until the night of the blood moon that he revealed his true form.

My dad suffered a loss because of this.

But I don't understand, why did Wu pretend to be a local monster to hide? He is a ghost god, is it necessary?
