That person was unwilling, but still had to go through the motions, at least to let the approaching Fang family know that he had paid his respects to Fang Xuan here.

The three leading术士 (shushi) laid Fang Xuan's body horizontally on the snowy ground, piled up a mound of snow next to the corpse as an incense burner, inserted three yellow incense sticks, placed a few bottles of wine, and solemnly stood beside the corpse.

The one surnamed Song took the lead and knelt down, and the three families of术士 (shushi) could only stand neatly behind him, kneeling and bowing.

The one surnamed Song solemnly said, "Brother Fang, rest in peace! If your spirit in heaven..."

Before he could finish, Fang Xuan suddenly sat up from the ground with a strange laugh: "I haven't gone far, I'm still waiting for you brothers."

The three of them were startled at the same time, and just as they were about to get up, they found that they couldn't move.

Not only did the three of them fall back onto the snow, but even the术士 (shushi) behind them fell to the ground.

"Jiangshi San!" the one surnamed Song exclaimed, "Fang Xuan, what do you want?"

Fang Xuan stood up slowly: "Too many people are pursuing Meng Die. More people, more trouble. It's better to have one person left."

As he spoke, Fang Xuan walked past the three young masters, towards the术士 (shushi) behind them, and raised his hand to pinch their necks. His five slightly curved fingers were like five steel hooks, piercing through their throats.

By the time Fang Xuan raised his hand, five streams of blood had spurted out from the术士 (shushi)'s unseeing eyes.

After Fang Xuan killed several people in a row, I walked out of the shadows with my hands behind my back: "Alright, leave the rest to others. Take those three away."

The one surnamed Song screamed, "Fang Xuan, Li Po, do you know what you're doing? Are you trying to make enemies of the術道 (shudao) of Long Province?"

I gave Fang Xuan a look: "Handle it!"

Fang Xuan gritted his teeth and strode forward, grabbing the one surnamed Song by the chin, taking out a medicine bottle and forcibly pouring it into his mouth. Within seconds, the man's face turned black and he fell to the ground, convulsing.

The remaining two were frightened out of their wits by Fang Xuan: "Brother... Brother Fang... For the sake of our usual..."

"For the sake of refining me into a living corpse, I'll add some料 (liao) for you!" Without explanation, Fang Xuan poured the medicine into the mouths of the remaining two, then took out a copper bell and shook it in the air.

Under the urging of the bell, the three people, who were either dead or alive, stood up straight, standing blankly behind Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan held up the copper bell and said, "Brother Li, are you satisfied?"

I reached out and patted him twice on the shoulder: "Not bad, take them to Dead Man's Gulch."

Fang Xuan glanced at the术士 (shushi) lying in the snow: "What about them..."

I smiled in the direction of Meng Die: "Don't worry, someone will help us clean up. Let's go!"

Fang Xuan was a smart man. He knew that I had deliberately made him look like a corpse hanging from a tree, because I wanted his pledge of allegiance.

He had perfectly submitted his answer sheet with the lives of the three young masters.

However, when I asked him to come with me, he hesitated. If he didn't silence the remaining dozens of people, the danger would befall not only him, Fang Xuan, but the entire Fang family.

I smiled faintly: "Don't worry, someone will help us handle things here. If you're really worried, you can do it yourself."

Fang Xuan hesitated for a long time: "Brother Li, who can help us clean up the mess? Can you give me a hint?"

I smiled: "Your sweetheart, the eldest young lady of the Meng family."

Fang Xuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he subconsciously looked back at the mountain, before finally making up his mind: "Let's go!"

After I left the scene with the three corpses, Meng Die in the distance took a deep breath and said, "Go and kill everyone below!"

Five Meng family swordsmen rushed into the crowd without hesitation, and a bloody storm immediately swept through the icy and snowy land.

Meng family maid stomped her feet anxiously: "Miss, you're really killing people! Li Po is obviously setting you up!"

Meng Die smiled bitterly: "I still underestimated Li Po. He used conspiracy to counter Grandpa's open scheme. And he's so ruthless."

"If I don't help Li Po clean up the mess, he'll find a way to make the four families hate the Meng family. Our Meng family can't withstand another strong enemy."

The little maid's eyes widened: "Is that possible? Li Po clearly didn't do anything!"

"The dagger hidden in the sleeve is always more terrifying than the knife that's drawn!" Meng Die stared in the direction I disappeared and said, "Li Po has more than one dagger hidden in his sleeve."

"The moment Li Po left, he released the trapping formation, which means he's confident. I dare say, he must have thought of a way to pin the deaths of the four families'术士 (shushi) on the Meng family. Moreover, his method will also ruin my reputation."

The Meng family maid's face sank: "For the sake of the young lady's reputation, those术士 (shushi) must be eliminated. Otherwise..."

"Don't say what shouldn't be said!" Meng Die reprimanded her. By this time, all the术士 (shushi) were lying dead in the snow, and the five swordsmen wiped the blood off their swords with blood, appearing again behind Meng Die.

Meng Die said in a deep voice: "Release the news, saying that Li Po has found the news of the镇神棺 (Zhen Shen Guan, God-Suppressing Coffin). He is heading towards Dead Man's Gulch to find the镇神棺 (Zhen Shen Guan, God-Suppressing Coffin)."
