Chapter 37: Chapter 37 Xiaowei in Love with His Sister-in-law_1
“Exaggerating a bit, aren’t you? People from the Liudao Division afraid of ghosts?”
Li Xuan glanced around and found that the atmosphere here was indeed quite eerie and chilly, making it an excellent breeding ground for fierce demons.
He shook his head and turned his attention to the diagram that Yue Qianqian had sketched out on the ground with a branch, “Did you deduce this matrix platform from the traces? Do you know its purpose?”
“I just gave it a try.” Yue Qianqian gave a terse reply before looking down, “The progress is very limited, they’ve done a very clean job of destroying the scene, even the ley lines gathered underground have been damaged. I have only managed to restore less than one percent. As for its purpose, I am not sure, it could be for worshipping evil gods, or for making some evil items, or fierce demons, altogether, it’s an evil path.”
Li Xuan felt a hint of disappointment, “So there’s no discovery?”
“There is one thing, the number of deaths this time is over nine hundred, and they were all boys and girls.” Yue Qianqian seemed furious, unable to contain her anger at this moment, “The exact number still needs calculation, but whoever conducted this was inhumane, angering both mankind and the gods!”
A chill ran down Li Xuan’s spine, and at this moment, he saw an old man in purple Daoist robes suddenly descend from the sky. All the members of the Liudao Division present wore sober expressions as they bowed respectfully to him.
Li Xuan was no exception. He recognized that the visitor, although not a member of the Liudao Division, held a greatly revered status within it.
This was the guest Qing invited by the Liudao Division, the Vice Tianshi of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi’s mansion, and Zhang Yingyuan, the master of the Dongxuan Temple, a powerful spell cultivator at the Twelfth Layer Stage, who stood at the threshold of the heavenly level. His mana, identity, and status were equivalent to the Fumo Zongguan of their Zhuque Hall.
“This is a sin—”
Once Zhang Yingyuan settled down and glanced around, he let out a sigh. He then waved his mana, causing everyone to straighten their bodies involuntarily.
“Everyone, retreat a hundred yards from the altar.”
Li Xuan was taken aback. At the same time, he felt a sense of relief.
—— This Twelfth Layer Stage spell cultivator, the ceiling for the cultivators of Nanjing, didn’t notice the presence of the ghost woman behind him?
“He can’t see.” Yue Qianqian lowered her voice, “In this place, your Guardian Spirit will be particularly powerful, with mana probably increasing more than tenfold. And also, don’t do anything foolish. I’m telling you the truth. Possession is a crime. Although the Vice Tianshi is of excellent character, if he learns of this, there’s an 80% chance he will try to seize the spirit and kill. This could be an opportunity to ascend to the heavenly level, and become an immortal.”
Li Xuan shook his head, he certainly wouldn’t make such a foolish mistake and he didn’t think Yue Qianqian would exaggerate the situation either as it gave her no benefit.
Then he saw Zhang Yingyuan sprinkle a great deal of cinnabar in all directions. Li Xuan curiously asked, “What is he doing? Exorcising? Destroying evil?”
“He is using the Summoning Spell!” Yue Qianqian found Li Xuan looking at her in disbelief and immediately glared back, “Don’t you know how to adapt? Using locust wood here, are you afraid that evil ghosts wouldn’t be born? In places of great calamity, as long as evil ghosts are formed, they are of at least the ninth house level, with a deep foundation. Even this Vice Tianshi will find it difficult to eliminate them.”
Li Xuan thought it made sense, so he started to concentrate and observe carefully.
The summoning method used by the spell cultivators was much more refined and powerful than the simplified Summoning Spell used by the Wu cultivators. Besides, the practitioner in this case was a top Daoist Master of the current times.
Li Xuan wanted to observe and learn, to see if he could pick up anything.
However, Zhang Yingyuan’s summoning did not succeed. Li Xuan used the Demon Revealing Mirror to see a large amount of red spiritual light gathering, but Zhang Yingyuan was always unable to form them.
After a long time, Zhang Yingyuan frowned slightly, looked down at the Xiaoweis waiting below, and said, “The executor is extremely cruel. All the deceased’s Shenpo’s have had their souls flown away and scattered.”
He then looked down, raised his hand, and a scroll flew out. The next moment, a picture appeared on the blank scroll that was spreading out.
“I have imprinted the remnants of the matrix here. Dongxuan Temple will attempt to deduce the complete matrix platform. I predict that this formation may be related to the Changes of Heaven and Earth, the shift of stars and galaxies, but the specifics still depend on subsequent deductions. However, since the structure of this formation has been completely destroyed, I cannot assure the time frame and will do my best.”
Yue Qianqian couldn’t help but admire, “As expected of a Twelfth Layer Stage master, he was able to see so much with just one look.”
The Vice Tianshi, Zhang, arrived quickly and left quickly too. After packing up his scroll, he transformed into hundreds of immortal cranes and scattered into the sky.
When Zhang Yingyuan had left, Jiang Hanyun also came down from the huge rock and landed outside the altar.
“Have you found anything?”

“I think we should go to Jiangning County as soon as possible.” Ma Chenggong glanced around with a bit of helplessness. “I don’t see the point in wasting more time here. These people have almost torn this place apart. It might be more efficient to interrogate the Beast Tamer you captured.”
He was well aware of the capabilities of the Guixiu City and the Huoya City, any traces left behind at the crime scene would not be overlooked by them. Moreover, they have a variety of spells to make up for any deficiencies.
“Do you really need to state the obvious?”
Jiang Hanyun sneered. “Over an hour ago, this man was silenced in the prison of Jiangning County. Not just him, but also a dozen hunters near Jiangjun Mountain escaped or died.”
Li Xuan felt a tremor in his heart, and then calmed down.
He was just about to say that there was something wrong with those hunters. How could the Jiangning County, which has organized large-scale mountain searches by hunters several times, fail to discover the abnormality here?
But the Liudao Division is not short of talented people, who would have thought of this problem early on.
Ma Chenggong was taken aback and then asked, “Did you summon his soul?”
“What do you think?”
Jiang Hanyun glared at him, then pointed to the sky, “Just now, it was one of his direct disciples who made the move, his soul flew away and scattered, with no harvest.”
Just as she was saying this, a light laugh came from the side, “The sky is almost bright, why are you all still gathered here?”
Jiang Hanyun turned pale and looked in the direction of the voice, “Mr. Lei, what do you mean?”
Lei Yun, the Zhihuishi of Huoya City, is walking towards them with a smirk, resting his hand on his waist knife, “Of course, I mean it literally. I hear that you people from Mingyou City are exhausted every day. Why waste your time here?”
“But who is to blame?” Jiang Hanyun sneered, her impeccably sweet voice carrying a chill that could freeze the air, “If it weren’t for some self-proclaimed capable people who have been unable to find Xue Wuya and the Evil Corpse for so many days, and haven’t been able to capture the criminals who attacked the Prince, would Mingyou City need to be so busy?”
Upon hearing her words, the people from Guixiu City and Huoya City seemed uneasy. Lei Yun, however, calmly retorted, “You’ve got it the wrong way around. If someone hadn’t startled the snake in the grass, causing Xue Wuya to flee, would we need to search so hard both inside and outside the city? If the case of the wolf pack killings was investigated by us from Huoya City, we wouldn’t have waited until midnight to discover something strange about this valley, giving those evil cultivators time to disrupt the scene. In the end, isn’t this just leaving you, Xiaowei Jiang Hanyun, to clean up the mess?”
He sighed quietly, “As expected of you Mingyou City, everything you do is unreliable.”
“You have the nerve to say that? Wasn’t the Southern City not under our jurisdiction before? With more than ten cases of wolf pack killings in a row, I didn’t see you guys from Huoya City coming up with any explanations?”
Jiang Hanyun looked disdainful, she turned her head away, “Get lost! I don’t like talking to those who are infatuated with their sister-in-law right now.”
Lei Yun’s face instantly turned icy cold, he retorted, barely concealing a smile, “Xiaowei Jiang Chungong, if you weren’t meddling here, I wouldn’t need to waste my time talking to you.”
Li Xuan watched from the sidelines, feeling a cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, he wondered if there was about to be a direct confrontation between these two powerful figures?
“Jiang Chungong?” Jiang Hanyun was overflowing with killing intent, her right hand gripping her waist knife, her face turning dark red, “You surely want to die, don’t you, Xiaowei Lei—the one who peeped at his sister-in-law’s bath—”
“Enough! Both of you, shut up!”
A cold sneer echoed in the void, abruptly cutting off Jiang Hanyun’s words. It was an old voice that came from an unknown source, but it made both Jiang Hanyun and Lei Yun tremble, their faces stern.
“Recently, there have been frequent major cases in South Zhili, we don’t have time for you to argue and cause dissension. Lei Yun, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth to shreds. Hanyun, it’s late, if there’s no new lead in this case, you of Mingyou City should focus on maintaining the security of Nanjing temporarily.”
Jiang Hanyun’s face paled slightly, resentment in her eyes; Lei Yun nodded slightly, a smirk in his eyes, he bowed in respect, “Lei Yun understands his mistake.”
After he finished speaking, he provocatively raised an eyebrow at Jiang Hanyun.
Jiang Hanyun was fuming, she seemed ready to explode with anger at her colleague. She could only turn around, her gaze shifted towards Ma Chenggong for a moment, then landed on Li Xuan, “Did you find anything?”
