Chapter 849 Inviting the Honored One

Du Song's voice trembled slightly as he said, "Go up and see if those three are dead or not."

A Reincarnation Division disciple cautiously approached the corpses. Du Song suddenly said, "Be careful to protect yourselves!"

The disciple stopped, stuck several spirit talismans on his arms, put on deerskin gloves, and finally, thinking it still wasn't enough, stuffed some secret medicine to prevent miasma into his mouth and nose. Only then did he cautiously approach the corpses again.

With this set of protections, even if ghosts emerged from the three corpses, or if there were hidden weapons or poison, they wouldn't be fatal immediately, and would at least give his companions time to save him.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that just as he reached out his hand, the corpse that had been motionless suddenly raised its hand and grabbed his wrist. The disciple instinctively pulled back, and the corpse on the ground turned its head, staring with blood-red eyes and grinning strangely, "Leave my hand, and you die!"

The voice coming from the corpse was clearly the old man's!

Du Song's expression changed slightly. He suddenly drew a knife from a disciple's waist and chopped off the corpse's hand with a single blow. "Hold the severed hand yourself! Don't let him let go!"

The disciple who had gone forward to check the corpse frantically pressed the hand on his wrist, his face pale.

No one would feel comfortable with a dead man's hand hanging on them, especially since he couldn't let the hand fall. The disciple could only hold the severed hand, letting it slowly grow cold on his body.

I merely glanced at the disciple before looking at the kang cabinet in the room.

When those people were talking just now, I seemed to hear some movement inside the kang cabinet!

As I walked towards the kang cabinet, Wen Yile also came up and handed me a dagger. I gently pried the cabinet door with the tip of the knife.

As the kang cabinet door slowly opened, the old man's face appeared in the dark cabinet.

He looked like a child playing hide-and-seek with an adult, curling up his body in the cabinet, only showing his face and grinning, "I'll let you go! Don't meddle in things here."

Before I could speak, he disappeared.

At this moment, Cai Wenyan followed up and asked, "What were you looking at?"

I glanced at him, "I didn't see anything!"

Cai Wenyan said grimly, "Li Po, you better be honest. Don't think no one can deal with you."

"Then you can try!" As I spoke, I walked into the west room. According to Northeast customs, the west room was where the ancestors were enshrined, or even if the ancestors weren't enshrined, it would be empty and uninhabited.

As soon as I stood in front of the ancestral statue, I heard Cai Wenyan's voice transmission, "Hall Master Li, I apologize for my behavior earlier. I was forced to."

I looked at Cai Wenyan without changing my expression, but saw him standing there with a frosty face, not even looking at me. But I heard his voice in my ear again, "I am not able to talk to you freely, I hope Hall Master Li understands."

I replied, "I can tell you plainly, the Fate-Ruling Ghost God here can kill you, but can't kill me. I am a person without fate."

Cai Wenyan didn't seem surprised to hear that I was a person without fate, he just replied, "I naturally know Hall Master's abilities. However, I would like to deepen our cooperation. How about I help you keep Du Song here?"

Du Song was my formidable enemy, and should also be Cai Wenyan's formidable enemy.

However, Du Song wanted my life, while Cai Wenyan only wanted Du Song's position.

I pretended to be looking for clues, while responding, "What do you want to do?"

Cai Wenyan said, "Didn't Hall Master Li already have a plan? I can cooperate with you. As long as Du Song dies, I will immediately withdraw my people and never cause you any trouble."

"Deal!" I replied, "If you can get Du Song to cooperate with me, I can find a way to keep Du Song here."

"Li Po! You don't need to act anymore! Get out here!" Cai Wenyan roared, then turned and walked outside, "Elder, Li Po is clearly in league with that ghost god. I just saw the ghost god hiding in the cabinet and talking to him. Hall Master Wen can testify."

When Du Song looked at me, his eyes already carried murderous intent, "Wen Yile, is what Wenyan said true?"

"It's true!" Wen Yile said, "Just now, that ghost god said: Let Li Po leave Qingyan Village and not meddle in things here."

Du Song narrowed his eyes slightly, "Li Po, why would that ghost god let you go?"

I also looked at him coldly, "How would I know? Maybe it's because I'm good-looking."

Just as Du Song was about to lose his temper, Cang Tianji said, "The only one the Fate-Ruling Ghost God can't deal with is Li Po. He is a person without fate. Fate masters can't deduce his fate, and the Fate-Ruling Ghost God naturally can't control his destiny."

"The Fate-Ruling Ghost God let him go because Li Po is a threat to him?"

Du Song smiled sinisterly, "Li Po, do you have a way to deal with that ghost god?"

I raised my eyes and said, "So what if I do? So what if I don't?"

Before Du Song could speak, Cang Tianji spoke first, "If you have a way, you might as well cooperate with the Reincarnation Division. It will be beneficial to both of us."
