ectedly."Oh... seeing you like this, why don't I just randomly collect it, but the price..."Upon hearing this, the other party's eyes lit up and they said, "The price is negotiable! This number works...Da Bao continued, "Master Huijing is back from traveling after hearing the news. He met with Elder Brother yesterday for a while and I don't know how things stand now."

I touched my chin. The Gu mother was burned to ashes by Luohu's celestial fire, and the person who controlled the Gu mother was also thrown into Xiwu Mountain. I don't know what devoured them. The two little demons were there, eating until in the end, there was probably only one left, and its fate was also a complete annihilation.

This situation is basically a dead end, what else do they want to do

He actually dared to challenge the XuanHui directly Does he really think the XuanHui is just a place for catching demons, offering rewards and whatnot

Compared to before, the Tongxuan Hui has indeed become much weaker. Who were the bigwigs of the Tongxuan Hui at the beginning —Ling Xuzi Laodao, Yuanhui Master, and Ma Old Lady, renowned figures from the three realms of Buddhism, Taoism, and the mundane world.

Now, Lingxuzi Lao Dao is in seclusion for cultivation, and his health seems to be deteriorating. Master Yuanhui has passed away, and Mrs. Ma is gone without a trace. Her disciples are now vying for power and treasures. Zhao Jie is extremely hostile towards Xi Linzhou, making Xi Linzhou's life miserable under her control.

Three elders have passed away, two of them. The remaining one is no longer involved in worldly affairs. The current acting headmaster is a young monk named Huicong. Even though Huicong is the high disciple of Master Yuanhui, he can still work hard to gain respect internally, but externally he has little deterrence.

As I was speaking, my brother brought Lin Yanqin back.

When he got out of the car, he was still on the phone. He stood in the shop and didn't go to the backyard. Lin Yanqin, with sharp eyes, saw me sitting in the yard.

"Huh Xiao Qiao is back!" She rushed over in three big steps and two small ones.

My brother covered his phone and shouted, "Ancestors, don't run! Take your time!"

Lin Yanqin nodded with a sweet smile. It was obvious she was happy and well-cared for, her face rounder and her smile radiating joy. She looked every bit the contented expectant mother.

To talk about my brother's work on the surface, she is a great help. She can assist him in every aspect and they have a great understanding of each other, knowing how to cooperate well.

My brother just came home and loosened his tie, lying sprawled out on the floor, shouting that wearing a suit and tie is too tiring.

"But...Little Qiao, how did you come back I thought you were so engrossed in cultivating immortality that you'd forgotten about us." My brother came over and put his arm around my shoulders, looking like a close-knit pair of brothers.

"I'm just coming back to check in, Da Bao is giving me an update." I replied.

"Where is the report"

"It's said that Huiqing Monk came to see you for a private conversation."

My brother nodded. "That's right, Huicqing is in a mess right now. I don't know what those people who suddenly appeared are up to. They ransacked the headquarters of Tongxuan Hui and took something from the warehouse."

"What have you lost" I asked.

My brother shook his head and said, "We can't take inventory. The Tong Xuan Hui's warehouse is full of things with unknown origins, nameless items, and purposes. Most of them are kept there waiting for the bigwigs to decide their value before being auctioned off at the Ghost Market."

These items were of unknown origin. They were mostly obtained by members of the Xuan Association while earning bounties. Because their origins and uses were unknown, they were turned over to the Xuan Association in exchange for a portion of the bounty.

Some people in the circle, although they are greedy for wealth and treasures, also understand that life is important. They know whether or not a magic weapon can be controlled by themselves, otherwise, no matter how much money they earn, it would be useless if they lost their lives.

I also said that we should take some time to go see them, after all, Master Huicqing is considered one of our own. When he’s in trouble, we should lend a hand. My brother said with a sneer.

The Tong Xuan Hui purchased a defunct resort in the suburbs and renovated it into an ancient, heavy-looking building. A sign reading "XX Folk Research Institute" hung above the door with a notice: "Keep Out."

But my brother's car has a pass for here. After swiping the card, he drove directly into the courtyard parking lot. The monitoring staff immediately reported it, and Master Huqing walked out with a few people.

"Oh, thank goodness you're here." He let out a sigh of relief when he saw me.

His scalp was sprouting bluish-gray hairs, and I couldn't help but tease, "Master Huqing is going to become a lay Buddhist"

"What's so worldly about it! I almost burned myself out with work! I didn't even have time to chant scriptures and pay respects to Buddha!" He patted his shiny head and ushered me and my brother inside.

This is a Chinese classical-style architectural complex. The entire resort has ten or so houses of various sizes. The main courtyard is the office of the Tongxuan Society. There are stains on the screen wall in front of the gate, and two workers are trying their best to clean them up.

"What's going on" I imagined blood splattering everywhere.

Hu Qing shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's hard to explain. Come in, I'll let you see the monitor."

He took us to the chairman's office and turned on the computer to show us the day's surveillance.

That night, looking at the time on the screen, it was five days ago. A car stopped outside the gate. The security personnel came out of the guardhouse and went forward to inquire.

The car opened its doors, all four doors were opened, and four people got out. The person who got out from the co-pilot seat seemed to be a woman wearing a red tight miniskirt.

The on-duty personnel cautiously retreated, not venturing beyond the retractable safety gate.

Without knowing what was said, the night shift personnel suddenly grabbed their own necks and fell to the ground, then rolled around in pain.

The woman in red had the driver turn the car around and wait outside. She, accompanied by two others, scaled the security fence. The night guard rushed to the security booth to sound the alarm, but was knocked unconscious by the woman in red and dragged into the bushes by the roadside.

These three people were acting recklessly, running straight towards the courtyard. They knocked everyone they encountered to the ground, and no one knew what method they used. Those who fell seemed to be in a lot of pain.

They acted swiftly, encountering a man at the doorstep. The woman in red suddenly raised her hand, and from several meters away, the man was startled and retreated. Then, the image just happened to be in a blind spot under the eaves next to the door frame, obscuring the scene. For just a few seconds, there was a sudden burst of blood splattering onto the shadow wall, and the man fell to the ground.

"Dead" my brother asked.

Master Huisqing sighed and said, "Still in the ICU."

"No one was killed, right"

"Not yet, but several have been hospitalized from poisoning. They've used countless vials of serum, almost to the point of needing a blood transfusion. It took a lot of effort to keep the news under wraps." Hu Qing sighed, "I'm about to turn gray with worry~~"

"You don't even have three thousand worries, you might as well be a white-haired man." My brother smiled and pointed at the computer: "Go back and look again."

He's much better at using a computer than Hu Qing, after all, he was once the king of online games. While Hu Qing was practicing Buddhism in the monastery, he couldn't compete with my brother when it came to gaming.

When we zoomed in, the image became very blurry. I had to step back several paces to make out the general outlines, but my brother immediately noticed something peculiar.

"Look, at the shadow on the ground."

" ... Only you can see clearly, I only see a bunch of blocks."

"This is not difficult, Lao Lu and his team have professionals in criminal investigation who can tell... You see here, doesn't it look like a snake coiling its neck when it strikes"

Snake

This woman's natal Gu must be a snake.head frantically, "No, no! Zhang Daochang has gone out and hasn't returned. He told me to hide well! You look like an outsider too! Don't go and cause trouble for Zhang Daochang!"I... alright, I'm an...
