He Yao looked at me with a smile and asked, "What do you think?"

I replied, "I heard that Zhang Huasheng once sought out a master to predict the Greedy Wolf Coffin. What that person said is roughly the same as what you said. However, for the Zhang family, it remains ambiguous."

"The master Zhang Huasheng sought out was you, wasn't it?"

Yao Ba Chi nodded without any hesitation and said, "That's right, that person was me!"

"The person to control the Greedy Wolf Coffin, for whom our sect has spent countless efforts and waited bitterly, was cleverly taken away by a group of people blinded by greed. I won't have to face my ancestors now."

Yao Ba Chi was ruthless towards the Zhang family, deceiving them to the point of ruin with just a few words.

However, I didn't think Yao Ba Chi was hateful! I would have done the same to the Zhang family.

I looked at Yao Ba Chi and said, "Can the shopkeeper not leave this coffin shop?"

Yao Ba Chi said, "I can only leave if someone invites me, otherwise, I can only stay here, waiting for a few old friends to come and chat with me."

I didn't dwell on this matter and asked again, "You said the Greedy Wolf star fate is on the Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren (Yang Jian Life Borrower)?"

"Yes!" Yao Ba Chi nodded and said, "The Greedy Wolf fate is divided into nine, which means that the Greedy Wolf Star's three souls and seven spirits, except for the celestial soul, are all separated and reincarnated as people."

"Among those nine people's souls, there must be one that doesn't belong to them. In other words, the Greedy Wolf soul forcibly swallowed the soul that person should have had and replaced it. Such a person won't live long."

"If a person with the Greedy Wolf fate wants to survive, borrowing life is the only way. Therefore, that person must be among the life borrowers."

I retorted, "What if the person with the Greedy Wolf fate is not a Taoist, let alone a life borrower, but died long ago?"

"Impossible!" Yao Ba Chi waved his hand. "Every Greedy Wolf in history has been exceptionally talented. How could they return to the underworld before showing their potential?"

I asked that question casually because I was considering other things in my mind.

The underworld suddenly changed the rules for life borrowers, probably not because "Wu Sheng" among the life borrowers was seizing life to become an immortal. When the underworld established the rules for borrowing life, they wouldn't have failed to guard against someone achieving immortality.

The underworld is fueling the "battle for the Greedy Wolf fate."

The infighting among life borrowers and the attacks by Taoists on life borrowers will force out the true Greedy Wolf Star General in a very short time.

Does the underworld also want the Greedy Wolf Star?

I subconsciously asked, "Are the three great coffin handlers gathering together to deal with some great calamity?"

Yao Ba Chi shook his head and said, "This is not something you should ask, nor is it something I can know. I'm just a disciple of the Coffin Sect! I'm not worthy to know some things!"

Yao Ba Chi wasn't telling the truth. He was a disciple of the Coffin Sect, but definitely not an ordinary one.

He just didn't want to reveal the secrets of the Coffin Sect.

Yao Ba Chi changed the subject and said, "This coffin should be equivalent to a marker. The nine bronze figures on it should be able to sense the Greedy Wolf soul!"

Yao Ba Chi said, "If one of the nine people with the Greedy Wolf fate dies, a bronze statue will fall, and the bronze statue representing the person who took his fate will move forward one step. The person who reaches the end is the complete Greedy Wolf fate."

I pointed to the person at the entrance of the main hall and asked, "Who is this?"

"Greedy Wolf Star!" Yao Ba Chi said, "If I'm not mistaken, this person is the Greedy Wolf's celestial soul. Only those who are recognized by him and walk up the steps can enter the hall."

Yao Ba Chi moved the compass a couple of times. "Look, can this compass be moved?"

Ye Yang had already tried the compass. The iron compass couldn't be turned.

Yao Ba Chi said, "It's not that the compass can't be turned, but that you can't turn it. Only the bronze statue that finally walks into the hall can move the compass."

"The bronze statue ascends the compass from the hall door, just like a person ascends the Altar of Heaven. Finally, under the induction of heaven, the compass is turned, opening the secret box."

"I estimate that the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches on the compass probably have two possibilities."

"One is the winner's own birth date and time. The other is the induction given to him by the Greedy Wolf celestial soul."

I asked doubtfully, "According to you, shouldn't these nine people have the same birth date and time? Only people born in the same year, month, day, and hour can have the same fate!"

"No! Absolutely not!" Yao Ba Chi said, "You shouldn't be a numerologist, otherwise, you wouldn't ask such a question."

"Even people with the same birth date and time cannot follow the same destiny trajectory. It's like the fate of an emperor. It's impossible for no one in the world to be born at the same time as the emperor, but why is there only one ruler in the world?"

"Because achieving an emperor requires appearance, aura, luck, and feng shui. Even if the birth dates are the same, the fates are different, and it's only logical that the destinies are even more different. Moreover..."

Yao Ba Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "I have another guess. The Greedy Wolf fate is not just concentrated on people who are twenty-three years old. If that were the case, it would be easy to find out who the Greedy Wolf is."

"The Greedy Wolf soul is very likely scattered among people of different ages. It's impossible to find the Greedy Wolf by just calculating the birth date and time!"

I subconsciously said, "Is the Greedy Wolf hiding from something?"
