There was a muffled thud as Zhou Ji's palm struck Zhou Kang's chest.
Zhou Kang hadn't managed to pinch his throat yet.
Instantly, the few people around him rushed forward, quickly and effortlessly pinning Zhou Kang to the ground.
Zhou Kang was frantically struggling, but his two fists were no match for four hands, and he was soon securely bound.
The few people who had subdued Zhou Kang were friends of Zhou Kang.
They used different methods—some used talismans, others used copper tools, and one even drew bloodstains directly on Zhou Kang's face.
But...
Zhou Kang was still in the same ghostly appearance, cursing non-stop and never shutting up!
Zhou Ji's face was livid, and beside him, Hu Changzai's complexion was no better.
"This Luo Xiansheng must have used some unconventional methods. It seems like he is possessed by a ghost, but we can't tell what kind of ghost it is. Earlier, we were all very careful, and nothing seemed to be approaching him!"
The speaker was one of the five who had subdued Zhou Kang.
Moreover, what he said was clearly pointing the finger at me.
"Zhou Kang is no longer fit to move. We need to arrange for someone to send him down the mountain and keep an eye on him carefully to prevent any mishaps. By the time dawn breaks, with the sun shining, any ghostly entity will retreat." Another voice spoke in a deep tone.
"Who should go?" Zhou Ji's voice trembled slightly, clearly containing a hint of anger.
In the next second, Zhou Kang suddenly tightened his face, and the cursing in his mouth suddenly stopped.
Then, his head sunk forward heavily...
This heavy sinking...
It's as if someone has died and their head is helplessly drooping down...
Instantly, everyone fell silent and stared fixedly at Zhou Kang.
"Qiang'er?" Zhou Ji's tone changed again, reaching out to touch Zhou Kang's breath.
"No!"
A scream of panic erupted from his mouth!
He violently grabbed Zhou Kang's shoulder and shook it violently!
"Save him! Hurry and save him!" The rest of the people hurriedly began to untie Zhou Kang.
Lv Kan quietly emerged from Zhou Kang's body.
I noticed that the gray-black robe he was wearing had vanished.
And the gray-black purple robe I was wearing disappeared without a trace.
Zhou Kang is dead...
Mysteriously, he was killed by Lv Kan.
Once a person dies, the strange technique naturally vanishes...
"So eerie... How could it be so eerie... He didn't even control Zhou Kang to commit suicide..." Hu Changzai's hand squeezed my finger even tighter, becoming increasingly uneasy.
I also felt a bit uneasy, with an inexplicable sense of restlessness...
Zhou Kang's suffering did indeed relieve my tension.
Especially since Hu Changzai and Zhou Ji both got slapped, which further helped me let off steam.
However, Zhou Kang's death was indeed too strange.
I couldn't see how Lv Kan killed him.
If... being possessed by Lv Kan would result in such a mysterious and inexplicable death.
What if Lv Kan possessed me?
Previously, I thought Lv Kan wasn't very fierce, and I reduced my vigilance towards him...
In reality, Lv Kan may not look fierce, but he is indeed diabolical. Diabolical to the extreme.
The Zhou family members in front had their faces turn extremely bad.
Even someone with a blind eye could see that Zhou Kang was dead beyond redemption, and their methods of saving him were completely ineffective...
Previously, Zhou Ji was still very imposing, but now he looked like he had aged several decades. His lips couldn't stop quivering, and he wept tears instantly.
He removed the crown hat on Zhou Kang's head and placed it on his own.
"Zuo Xiansheng's methods are vicious. He has harmed my grandson. I will kill him!" Zhou Ji's voice was loud and full of hatred!
On the other side, no one else could see, but Lv Kan excitedly clapped his hands. His sickly face was extremely twisted.
Later, Lv Kan turned his head and directly looked at where we and Hu Changzai were standing.
Before, Lv Kan gave the impression of being extremely pitiful and shifty.
Now, he remains pitiful and shifty, but with an added air of diabolicalness that makes one feel chilled to the bone.
No one could see Lv Kan.
Except for him, no one else noticed me and Hu Changzai.
Hu Changzai shivered, and she gripped my hand even tighter...
"He... is looking at me... Husband..."
I stepped forward slightly, blocking Hu Changzai.
Lv Kan disappeared quietly without a sound.
I couldn't see it, and Hu Changzai's eyes were blank as well. Clearly, she didn't see his ghostly shadow either.
Because Lv Kan's gaze distracted our focus.
In front, it was empty and desolate.
Besides Zhou Kang's corpse, leaning against a tree trunk at an angle, the rest of the Zhou family members were walking away further.
It was obvious that Zhou Kang's death did not disrupt their formation.
They still have the purpose of saving him, but I'm afraid that every single one of them now would like to kill me more than anything else!
Inadvertently, I had brought misfortune upon Lv Kan.
Lv Kan, however, had directly made the Zhou family members hate me to the bone.
"Brother-in-law... Will he come to find me?" Hu Changzai's unease grew.
"You're not easy to catch once you see him, but you still need to be careful." I warned Hu Changzai.
"Understood, brother-in-law..." Hu Changzai whispered.
She loosened her grip on my hand.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat, and I took off the waist bell and handed it to Hu Changzai.
"This... brother-in-law..." Hu Changzai was startled and shook her head repeatedly, saying she didn't need it, as it was my protective item.
"You don't need it. If you're targeted by Lv Kan, it will bring you a lot of trouble. Moreover, his killing methods are not clear. If you get into trouble, I can't explain it to your sister." I answered truthfully.
I then hurriedly urged Hu Changzai, saying that at this speed, the Zhou family members would soon reach the back of the cliff, and we needed to catch up as soon as possible.
Hu Changzai then took the bell and carefully hung it around her waist.
I walked on the normal path without hiding my figure anymore.
The Zhou family had already walked away far away, and naturally, they couldn't see us.
Moving forward, we soon passed by Zhou Kang's corpse. Hu Changzai glanced at it for a moment before speeding up her pace.
I scanned the surroundings and could roughly determine that this place was once shrouded in green mist, which was within the activity range of the Corpse Immortal.
However, everything seemed the same as before, and there were no changes here.
As we walked further, following the direction I remembered with the chaotic footprints as a guide, we quickly arrived at a place where we could see the cliff.
The ground covered with broken stones and rubble appeared smooth at first glance but was actually full of pits and bumps.
I and Hu Changzai didn't walk out; instead, we crouched and hid behind.
The Zhou family members had reached the bottom of the cliff, in front of the bamboo house shed.
The distance is too far, and we can't hear what they are saying or see their expressions and demeanor.
Hu Changzai appeared extremely nervous and looked at me with a questioning expression.
I made a shushing gesture, indicating that she should remain calm.
My gaze swept to the other side of the bamboo shed, and I saw Lao Qin's coffin at a glance.
Only after all the people from the Zhou family, including Hu Changzai, squeezed into the bamboo shed did I see the big red coffin in front of me.
Bright red, a trace of green flashed suddenly, and white mist surged up instantly, enveloping the entire bamboo shed.
"They went in!"
In an instant, my heart raced to an extreme!
"Brother-in-law... seems like something is not right..." Hu Changzai looked even more unnatural.
"What's not right?" I frowned and asked.
"I can't put my finger on it... It's just a feeling, like someone is calling my name..."
