"Second Uncle!"
Lin Shuainan exclaimed in surprise and turned to look.
Indeed!
Uncle Lin Er stood at the doorway, shaking his head and walking in with great flair.
Moreover, Uncle Lin Er bore no injuries, only a slight pallor to his complexion!
Lin Shuainan immediately lunged forward, crying out like a child!
"Uncle, I thought you were dead! You don't have a son yet! If you have no descendants, no one will even visit your grave in the future! Wuwu..."
Uncle Lin Er was initially touched by Lin Shuainan's concern.
However, upon hearing the words of Lin Shuainan's wailing, he simply slapped Lin Shuainan away!
"Get lost! You brat!"
Just as Lin Shuainan was about to be flung out of the doorway!
A young man walked forward, caught Lin Shuainan by the chest, and with a Tai Chi move, the Wild Horse Parts Its Mane, he placed Lin Shuainan steadily on the ground!
"Big Brother, after a few days, you've gotten even handsomer!"
The young man's face was full of smiles.
Lin Shuainan was startled. Upon seeing the young man's appearance, he immediately hugged him with joy!
"Guan Ya! My little brother, so it was you who saved my Second Uncle!"
The newcomer was Guan Ya. Lin Shuainan hugged him tightly, spinning around several times, making his head dizzy!
"Heh, Big Brother, put me down. How could I have saved anyone? There's also someone..."
Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze turned towards the outside!
A woman with an exceptionally beautiful and cold demeanor walked in, exuding an aura of nobility!
The Saintess of the Witch God Hall, Ji Yunyue!
"Saintess, it's you! Thank you..."
Lin Shuainan was about to rush forward and hug Ji Yunyue; they had spent so much time together before.
But Ji Yunyue clearly looked disgusted with Lin Shuainan. However, she did not dodge, as if she was not afraid of being hugged by Lin Shuainan at all!
"Kid, you dare to take advantage of my disciple in front of me, are you tired of living?"
A hand blocked Lin Shuainan's path, and a stern voice emerged simultaneously.
Lin Shuainan's entire body tensed. He looked closely and then retreated repeatedly!
Ling Feng also clearly heard the voice of the person entering from outside, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hall Master of the Witch God Hall!"
Ling Feng uttered softly.
Bai Yunyan and the others beside him widened their eyes in shock!
"The Hall Master... of the Witch God Hall?!"
They could not believe that they would encounter the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall in such a place!
Their eyes widened to the extreme, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets at any moment.
And the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall then strolled out!
He was entirely wrapped in a black robe, his face completely obscured, as if to tell everyone that they were not qualified to see his true face!
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall, clad in a black robe, then flashed and landed before Ling Feng.
"Mr. Ling, I trust you've been well!"
As he spoke, the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall removed his hood, revealing his true face!
*Hiss!*
A collective gasp of surprise erupted from the surroundings. It was the first time they had seen the true face of the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall.
What surprised them even more was that the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall actually addressed Ling Feng as "Mister"!
This was utterly astonishing!
Only Ling Feng knew that the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall held an extraordinary status and was crucial to stabilizing the forces in Nanyun. It was possible that during his absence, the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall had learned of Ling Feng's identity!
However, even if his identity was known, Ling Feng had nothing to be wary of.
He smiled faintly.
"I've been well."
"The Hall Master has personally come out this time, so the situation must have developed to a very critical stage!"
Ling Feng said calmly, waving his hand to invite the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall to sit down!
The other individuals, who had been gathered around Uncle Lin Er, now all turned their attention to Ling Feng and the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall as they took their seats!
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall's expression was extremely solemn!
"Indeed, the situation has become very grave! I have learned that remnants of the Zu family have appeared and have obtained the inheritance of the Underworld King's Eye from the Underworld King!"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up. The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall surely had more information than he did!
"It seems the Hall Master is also very familiar with the Underworld King, the master of the Corpse Snatching Gathering!"
"Heh, I've been tracking him for decades. If I didn't have the confidence to kill him in one blow, how could I have let him live until now!"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall laughed heartily.
But his face quickly turned grim.
"Originally, a year ago, I personally dealt him a heavy blow. He hasn't shown himself for this past year. To lure him out, I allowed the Corpse Snatching Gathering to continue to exist!"
"However, I did not expect this! The Underworld King has found an heir! A remnant of the Zu family! Zu Shen!"
Ling Feng's pupils contracted, and killing intent flickered in his eyes!
"Zu Shen? Is he that young master?"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall nodded. "That's right. He is hailed as the young master by a group of followers. These are people who were controlled by the Zu family back then. The Zu family's Corpse Gu techniques are not only adept at controlling corpses but also at controlling the living!"
"Originally, they were all integrated into various factions, including the Shi family!"
The Hall Master turned to look at Shi Mengran, clearly recognizing her.
Shi Mengran nodded fearfully, "So, my family members like Shi Kun were controlled by the Zu family long ago!"
"That's right. That should be Zu Shen's grandfather, the former patriarch of the Zu family. Some of your Shi family members were controlled unknowingly even from birth!"
"This method has been passed down to Zu Shen, which is why Zu Shen can recruit so many people to his side!"
Bai Yunyan's face turned pale. He looked at the Hall Master with reverence and said in a deep voice, "Since the Hall Master has personally intervened this time, it seems that what Zu Shen is doing has endangered our entire Nanyun Witch Gu realm."
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall nodded.
"Medicine King, the Supreme Treasure of the Witch Sect is in your hands!"
Bai Yunyan was startled but nodded without denial.
"Yes, the Supreme Treasure of the Witch Sect itself is a treasure that counters the Zu family's soul-controlling Corpse Gu techniques. You must preserve it well. Those who were forced might only be able to preserve their lives with the Supreme Treasure of the Witch Sect!"
The Hall Master of the Witch God Hall revealed a secret that no one knew!
Everyone believed the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall to be a ferocious, mysterious, and supreme being, capable of taking lives with a wave of his hand!
But, in reality, the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall was a benevolent figure who cared for all practitioners of Witch Gu!
Even those practitioners of Witch Gu who were controlled by the young master of the Zu family, the Hall Master of the Witch God Hall still hoped they would have a chance to survive.
