As for that pair of twin sisters, anyway they were unconscious and knew nothing right now; besides, at worst they could just return to secular life on their own once they woke up.

Zhao Yi lifted his head, puffed out his chest, and the Life and Death Door crack on his chest spun.

At this moment, he looked exactly like a pet in the marketplace trying its best to perform in hopes of being taken home.

Li Zhiyuan raised his gaze slightly, glanced once, then looked away.

The rosy light made its choice; a strand first descended and shone in front of Li Zhiyuan.

With a Green Lotus in his body, he naturally drew the rosy light's favor more easily.

Li Zhiyuan didn't move, still standing outside the circle.

Zhao Yi found this understandable—if you're picking, of course you choose the best one first.

If the guy surnamed Li didn't want it, wouldn't he be next?

Sure enough, the rosy light shifted to in front of Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi lifted his foot, about to step into it.

To him, this was a huge stroke of fortune; after this, when he walked the Jianghu, he could do like that Li fellow, having a big shot at his back as endorsement.

However, just as Zhao Yi was about to touch the rosy light, the Tomb Master who was chanting sutras suddenly stopped.

The rosy light before Zhao Yi dissipated, and the rosy light above also became a bit unstable.

Zhao Yi stared in astonishment at the Tomb Master.

He sensed it—it was that guy targeting him!

But the problem was, the look that guy gave him was filled with deep concern.

As if what he was doing was for Zhao Yi's own good.

From the moment the Tomb Master first revealed self-awareness, Zhao Yi had noticed that the other treated him in a special way; clearly he didn't know this person at all, yet the other acted like they were childhood buddies.

The Tomb Master began chanting again, the rosy light in the sky stabilized, and the light circle reappeared before Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi… no longer dared to go in.

That brief pause was enough for his mind to clear; he suddenly realized that if this really were a good thing without major downside, the guy surnamed Li would never deliberately leave it to him.

Zhao Yi's failure to step forward was the same as refusal.

Moments later, the light circle before him vanished.

Among those present, no one else was still standing, so in the end the rosy light could only shine on the Tomb Master, and the light from above also converged into its body together.

The already suppressed red, white, and black three colors were now crushed even more thoroughly.

At this point they could no longer care about any so-called origin; the sharp sense of crisis and the sudden turn in reality made them drop all their little schemes and attempt to flee at any cost.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

Three clusters of light and fire surged violently out of the Tomb Master's body; this was them utterly throwing caution to the wind.

Three rays of rosy light shot out from within the Tomb Master, binding those three clusters of light and fire and locking them into a stalemate.

Zhao Yi tilted his head back, watching the spectacle overhead; it looked just like an aurora, indescribably beautiful.

As one of the people who had personally set off the fireworks, he even felt a faint sense of accomplishment rising in his heart.

Only, that one-sided crushing situation did not appear; the three clusters of light and fire were gradually breaking free, and the other three-colored radiance that had appeared earlier was now in the western direction, responding to them.

At first Zhao Yi suspected the Bodhisattva wasn't up to it, but then gradually realized the problem might be with the vessel.

This kind of long-distance contest of strength depended too much on the quality of the servant.

The Tomb Master shifted its gaze toward Li Zhiyuan.

A double layer of gaze: one was a plea for help, the other a clear signal.

The former came from the Tomb Master itself; the latter was exactly the same as what had been felt back in the True Monarch Temple.

Li Zhiyuan said in a loud voice:

"Humans and ghosts walk different paths, Yin and Yang stand apart; the order of Heaven and earth brooks no violation. Now there are three little ghosts wreaking havoc among the living; may the Bodhisattva descend with compassion and save the people of this world!"

After Li Zhiyuan finished, the Tomb Master imitated and repeated: "Humans and ghosts walk different paths, Yin and Yang stand apart…"

With each recitation, the rosy light did not change, but the force of Western reception on the red, white, and black lights weakened—that is, the Summon from Fengdu Yinsi was withdrawn.

In private, secretly opening the back door was fine; but once it was out in the open, things had to be done according to the rules.

However, the pull from the other three rays of light still remained.

No one knew whether those six really had a close relationship, or if it was simply that they were all in the same boat, and the three who hadn't come yet still refused to give up on the three who had descended.

So far, from the Tomb Master's side, they had only returned to a stalemate again, which was not enough.

Li Zhiyuan spread open his right hand; under condensing blood mist, the blood porcelain–colored array flag reappeared, and the youth grasped it in his hand.

"Crack!"

With a crisp snap, the array flag broke.

The Array originally set up here began to topple. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

In an instant, white light burst forth; the surrounding Feng Shui and weather patterns reversed and poured back, washing away all filth and concealment, lighting this place up as bright as day.

Zhao Yi was forced not only to shut his eyes at once, but also to hurriedly cut off his own senses.

The shock in his heart surged up once more.

If it were just destroying the Array, this phenomenon wouldn't appear; the current scene showed that when the guy surnamed Li designed and arranged this Array, he had hidden this underlying framework in advance.

No wonder the guy surnamed Li had sat there scribbling for so long earlier; the amount of deduction he'd done far exceeded what Zhao Yi had imagined.

Back when this fellow wasn't that strong yet, Zhao Yi really did have a chance to take action and kill him; now, as this guy rose step by step, his methods and intricate scheming had already begun to make Zhao Yi feel fear.

Putting himself in Heavenly Dao's shoes, Zhao Yi felt Heavenly Dao was still too easygoing; if he were Heavenly Dao, he'd have long since sent thunder down to strike this Li fellow dead—and killing him wouldn't be enough. After Li was buried, he'd still have to blast the grave mound a few more times to keep him from turning into a Deadman after death.

In short, for a short time, nothing here would be able to conceal itself from the gaze of Heavenly Dao.
