Chapter 194 A Matter of Reason

Holding the intelligence sent by both sides, I said with a solemn expression, "Lin Zhao, I have a guess now, and this guess is likely to come true."

"Before my guess is confirmed, I want to ask you a question."

"Do you want to take over the Gui Guan Men (Ghost Coffin Sect) and become the next sect leader?"

Lin Zhao was stunned by my question, "What do you mean?"

I stood up and said, "I'm almost certain that Xue Shaoyuan is already dead. Even if he comes here to negotiate with me, he'll only be a corpse."

"Your Gui Guan Men must have a way to prevent the secrets from being completely lost when the sect leader dies, right?"

"Once Xue Shaoyuan dies, no one will inherit the position of sect leader. The elders of the Gui Guan Men will activate this emergency plan. Everyone in the Gui Guan Men will enter the ancestral land to compete for the right of inheritance."

"Zhu Zining will also get this secret through the spies she has planted in the Gui Guan Men. The Reincarnation Department will inevitably enter the ancestral land of the Gui Guan Men, and the disciples of the Gui Guan Men will fight to the death in the ancestral land."

"This is an inevitable result, so I'm asking if you want the Gui Guan Men?"

Lin Zhao stood up abruptly, "We're going to save the sect leader! It's not too late to go now!"

"It's too late!" Lao Liu shook his head and said, "This is Zhu Zining's way of cutting off the water from under the pot!"

"If Pang Gufang hadn't intervened, perhaps we could have saved Xue Shaoyuan."

"However, once Commander Ling and Commander Tianji left, no one could have predicted that Xue Shaoyuan would be killed."

"Moreover, whether we will start a war with the Gui Guan Men tonight depends on how we operate!"

"Wang Butcher, quickly disguise them, switch the appearances of Commander Ling and Lin Zhao, and be quick!"

"Everyone else, listen to my instructions!"

Lin Zhao allowed Wang Butcher to manipulate him like a fool, asking several times, "Is there really no way to save the sect leader?"

Wang Butcher didn't know how to answer Lin Zhao's question and could only comfort him in a low voice.

Not long after we were ready, we heard knocking on the door outside the guest room.

The sound of the other party's palm knocking on the door was light and weak, and a layer of white frost appeared on the edge of the door.

The other party was deliberately letting us know that there was a dead person standing outside!

If a dead person knocked on a hotel door, it wouldn't make such a sound. Only knocking on the door of a normal person's house would make such a sound.

Because there's nothing on the hotel room door, it's just a bare surface.

But the doors of houses are different. Almost every household has the character *fu* (good fortune) and Spring Festival couplets pasted on their doors. Some particular families even place things to ward off evil spirits directly opposite the door.

Therefore, when ghosts knock on the door, their palms don't dare to make full contact with the door. The sound of knocking makes people feel like the other person wants to knock but doesn't knock, and then knocks again.

In addition, the ghost uses yin energy to counteract the yang energy left by things like the *fu* character and Spring Festival couplets on the door, so white frost will naturally appear on the edge of the door.

The owner of the house might mistake the other person for an acquaintance who is too embarrassed to enter, and call out a few times from inside the house, or simply open the door, only to see not a normal face.

Sorcerers generally wouldn't do something like letting ghosts into the house.

But now, I have to let the other party in.

I walked to the door, gently pulled it inward, and came face to face with Xue Shaoyuan standing outside.

The other party's face was still rosy, and his eyes didn't have any deathly aura. He looked no different from a normal person.

But this is the trap that Zhu Zining set for me. She wants to use the instincts of sorcerers or martial artists to make me bear the crime of murder.

Any martial artist, as long as they feel that there is something wrong with the other person, will try to test them.

As long as I dare to test Xue Shaoyuan now, the other party will die immediately, and the disciples of the Gui Guan Men will inevitably follow.

At that time, without Zhu Zining's action, I would have to fight with the Gui Guan Men first.

I let Xue Shaoyuan into the room, exchanged a few greetings, and after we sat down as host and guest, Xue Shaoyuan called Lin Zhao over, "Lin Zhao! You have always been the child I have the most faith in, and with the support of the Two Realms Hall, you are more than qualified to take over as sect leader."

"I came here today to ask for your opinion."

The fake Lin Zhao shook his head after listening, then nodded, and finally said in a low voice, "I haven't thought about becoming the sect leader. But I don't want the Gui Guan Men to be involved in the conflicts between the Two Realms Hall and the Reincarnation Department, causing casualties."

Lao Liu said with a smile, "Lin Zhao! I once heard someone say a sentence: It's not that I want to take over as the leader of a sect, nor is it that I want to dominate the martial world, but I realize that there is no one more suitable than me."

"So, sometimes, people need to believe in fate!"

The fake Lin Zhao blinked and looked at Lao Liu, "You heard that from Li Po, right?"

Lao Liu's face turned dark, "That prodigal child."

"In short, the position of Gui Guan Men leader, you have to do it whether you want to or not. Otherwise, we'll go find Lin Xian."

"Him?" The fake Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Forget about him!"

The reason why Lao Liu was "joking" with Lin Zhao was that someone was using Lin Zhao's phone to broadcast the current scene to the Gui Guan Men. No matter what, we had to first seize the "reason" of Xue Shaoyuan passing the position to Lin Zhao.
