"Where is this place?"
At this moment, Wan Yunting held his mobile phone, illuminating the path with its flashlight mode. Xu Lingwei and her junior disciple Li Zihang followed behind him. The three of them had entered through a hidden door underground and were walking down a dimly lit corridor. The ancient walls of the corridor were made of old bricks from the last century, indicating that this mysterious underground space had been built a long time ago. However, no one knew who built it or for what purpose.
"Over there!"
Xu Lingwei held her compass, pointing towards the winding underground corridor. Following the compass's indication of the location of evil energy, Wan Yunting led the senior and junior disciples forward rapidly. Soon, they saw a brightly lit space ahead. Upon entering, they discovered a basement living room filled with many old artifacts. In the left corner, there were stacks of wine jars emitting a rich aroma of wine.
Next to them, however, stood a large vat about a meter high, covered with a wooden lid. No one knew what was inside!
Could this be a wine cellar for storing wine?
Wan Yunting and the senior and junior disciples Xu Lingwei were filled with doubt.
But the next second, a wooden door opened, and Guan Hongyu, dressed in a black robe, walked out. His eyes narrowed when he saw Wan Yunting, but his entire face turned extremely grim upon seeing Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang. He coldly snorted, "You really are persistent shadows!"
"Lei Li, we've finally found you!"
Li Zihang nodded, casting a disdainful glance at Guan Hongyu. He mocked, "I didn't expect you to be such a runner, actually escaping to the southern city of Huadu. It made my senior sister and me search so hard."
However, Wan Yunting, who had just recovered his senses, immediately frowned, his eyes fixed on Guan Hongyu. He directly asked, "Old Guan, where is Yan Xi? What did you do to her?"
Guan Hongyu withdrew his gaze from Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang and turned it towards Wan Yunting. A smile played on his lips as he said, "Yan Xi is inside, but don't worry, she's fine. I haven't done anything excessive to her!"
Wan Yunting's eyes widened slightly. Although he didn't understand Guan Hongyu's intentions, it was clear he intended to harm Fang Yan Xi. "Old Guan, I don't know what you're doing, but please release Yan Xi."
"Also, I hope you'll surrender willingly. The police will treat you leniently."
"Hey, you're going to hand him over to the police."
Li Zihang, standing beside them, pointed at Guan Hongyu ahead and turned to Wan Yunting, saying, "Someone like him, an evil cultist who kills without batting an eye, in my opinion, we should just kill him."
"Heh heh..."
Guan Hongyu was not angered but found it amusing. He looked at Wan Yunting and said, "Yunting, do you know why I returned to Huadu City?"
Wan Yunting frowned, his gaze fixed on him.
Guan Hongyu smiled and walked to the corner where the wine jars were piled. He said, "For the woman I love, and for revenge!"
A hint of confusion flickered in Wan Yunting's eyes. Regarding his revenge, it was naturally Tian Guofu. But the woman he loved, could it be Fang Yan Xi?
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not referring to Yan Xi."
Guan Hongyu stood beside the large water vat and looked up at Wan Yunting, smiling. "Of course, I also returned to Huadu for Yan Xi. I want to use her to save the woman I love!"
"Hey, Lei Li, you're not talking about the Buddhist Dakini, Luosang Zhuoma, are you?" Li Zihang said.
"Yes, she is the woman I love."
A fierce glint of ruthlessness flashed in Guan Hongyu's eyes. He looked at Li Zihang and Xu Lingwei, saying fiercely, "If it weren't for you back then, Zhuoma wouldn't have died!"
This statement surprised Wan Yunting.
Regarding Luosang Zhuoma's death, the former deputy captain of the Tibet Criminal Police, Jiaxi, had previously stated that Luosang Zhuoma violated Buddhist rules and was therefore given death by a Buddhist master.
But what did this have to do with the senior and junior disciples?
"One a Buddhist Dakini, one an evil cultist from the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. One righteous, one evil, falling in love, do you think there will be any good outcome?" Li Zihang gave Guan Hongyu a disdainful look, then said helplessly, "However, we didn't expect those Buddhist fellows to be so heartless as to sentence the Dakini to death."
At this moment, Guan Hongyu's face darkened, his eyes glaring furiously at Li Zihang and Xu Lingwei, gritting his teeth, "If you hadn't reported us, how would those bald donkeys in Buddhism have known about our affairs?"
Now Wan Yunting understood. It turned out that this senior and junior disciple had informed the Buddhist people about Guan Hongyu's love affair with the Dakini, which ultimately led to Luosang Zhuoma being sentenced to death.
It was no wonder Guan Hongyu gritted his teeth with hatred upon seeing Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang.
However, at the time of their report, Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang believed that Buddhism would at most expel Luosang Zhuoma from the faith as punishment.
But considering how heartless those Buddhist lamas were, actually sentencing Luosang Zhuoma to death.
Later, Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang, upon learning of this matter, felt immense guilt and regret.
"Hongyu, I want to know why you believe Yan Xi can save Luosang Zhuoma. Isn't she already dead?" Wan Yunting asked.
Guan Hongyu's face was grim as he said, "I can make her reborn!"
"Reborn?"
Li Zihang couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "When a lamp is extinguished, it's gone forever. How can someone be resurrected from the dead? You're having a foolish delusion."
Wan Yunting frowned, also not understanding Guan Hongyu's actions.
"Yan Xi and Zhuoma were born in the same year, same month, same day, and even the same time. They are both born in the same year. As long as Yan Xi's soul is transferred to Zhuoma's body, she can be resurrected!" Guan Hongyu said coldly, his eyes filled with a sinister glare.
These words made Wan Yunting's eyes widen, and his heart surged with emotion. "You mean, you want Yan Xi to die to save Luosang Zhuoma?"
"That's right."
Guan Hongyu looked at Wan Yunting and said, "Yunting, I know you and Yan Xi are in love, but for Zhuoma, I have no choice but to do this..."
"You're being foolish."
Wan Yunting pointed at Guan Hongyu and shouted angrily, "To save one person, you don't hesitate to kill so many others, and now you even want to kill Yan Xi. Guan Hongyu, are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy."
Guan Hongyu's eyes were sinister as he said to Wan Yunting, "Yunting, since the day my parents died, I am no longer the Guan Hongyu you knew before. I traveled across the country, trying to find a pure land for myself. In the end, I discovered that this world is filled with all kinds of evil!"
"I have experienced deception, betrayal, and finally the brink of life and death. I understand that this world cannot tolerate me, so I want to resist. I want to resist the unfairness of fate. Why can those wicked people live in this world, enjoying spiritual and material things that others don't have? Tell me, what is evil, and what is justice?"
"And you!"
Guan Hongyu, becoming increasingly agitated, glared furiously at Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang, roaring, "You speak of righteousness and evil at every turn, but if it weren't for you, how could Zhuoma have died?"
These words left Xu Lingwei and Li Zihang speechless, facing each other in dismay.
"Guan Hongyu, don't twist the facts!"
Wan Yunting's eyes blazed, and he stared at Guan Hongyu, his voice firm and serious. "You keep talking about unfair fate, then I ask you, do the people you've brutally murdered these past few days deserve to die?"
"They deserve to die, they all deserve to die..."
Guan Hongyu, completely provoked, had a ferocious expression. He pointed at Wan Yunting, Xu Lingwei, and Li Zihang, roaring, "Why do the relatives around me leave me one by one? Why do you all have things I can't obtain? Damn it, heaven is simply unfair."
Seeing Guan Hongyu's words becoming more and more outrageous, Wan Yunting angrily pointed at him and cursed, "Guan Hongyu, you have a psychological disorder and should be treated in a hospital, not go out and slaughter innocent people to satisfy your inner hatred and world-weariness. Don't you think doing this is very selfish?"
