Odd Zhuo and Kyumiya Ryoko hid under the altar table in the Taoist temple.
"It's so crowded … who wants to hide in there with a liar like you?!"
Despite her words, Kyumiya Ryoko still obediently crawled in.
The space under the table was relatively small, and Odd Zhuo had no intention of offending the girl. Although he had tried very hard to keep his distance, part of his body still touched hers.
Kyumiya Ryoko blushed and had a disgusted expression on her face, but in this situation, she really couldn't push him away.
"Sorry, Classmate Kyumiya, please bear with it for a while," Odd Zhuo said gently as he made a shushing gesture.
Kyumiya Ryoko snorted and turned her head slightly, looking at Odd Zhuo out of the corner of her eye.
She saw that Odd Zhuo was constantly changing his posture in an attempt to keep his distance. The emotions in her heart instantly became very complicated.
On one hand, she suddenly felt that Odd Zhuo seemed to be more upright than she had imagined.
On the other hand, she was displeased that Odd Zhuo was deliberately keeping his distance from her.
"Is this lady's charm not enough for you to dislike me so much?" Kyumiya Ryoko muttered very quietly and quickly.
Odd Zhuo: "Classmate Kyumiya, what are you talking about?"
"I won't repeat myself."
Kyumiya Ryoko's voice was cold.
The girl composed herself and took a deep breath.
She felt that she must be crazy to actually expect an old liar like Odd Zhuo to succumb to her charm.
Such a liar …
She wouldn't care for him in this lifetime!
Kyumiya Ryoko glared at Odd Zhuo, puzzling him with her hostile gaze. "?"
Odd Zhuo sighed inwardly.
Little lasses nowadays, their thoughts were hard to fathom!
Too hard to understand!
It was said that a woman's heart was like a needle at the bottom of the sea, but this little girl hadn't even become a real woman yet, so why was she so scheming?
Just as he was puzzled, the two people under the altar table heard movement outside the temple at the same time.
Everything was going as Odd Zhuo had expected.
It wasn't long before the three people in the back directly broke into the Taoist temple.
They moved quickly, cautiously closing the door as soon as they entered and rebolting it to prevent anyone from entering.
One of them took out a three-legged magic weapon and placed it on the ground.
It was a kind of shielding device that could block out sound and all external signals.
After manually setting the range, the three-legged magic tool made a buzzing sound, and a circle of invisible ripples spread out on the spot, covering the entire Taoist temple.
"Now, it's time to catch a turtle in a jar."
The leader of the group, the man wearing black earrings, smiled secretly. He had already sensed Odd Zhuo and Kumiya Ryoko's auras in the main hall of the Taoist temple in front of them.
The man quickly made two hand gestures, signaling his other two companions to surround the main hall.
The remaining two had radars on their hands. This was a device that was bound to a shielding artifact. Once someone approached the signal shielding area, the radar would be able to detect the signal instantly.
This time, it would be hard for him to escape even if he had wings.
The man with the black earring stood in front of the main hall in a generous manner. He folded his arms and put on a posture of good will. "Miss Yoshiko, we have no intention to offend you. We are just following orders. As long as Miss Yoshiko is willing to hand over the copy of the Ghost Register, then we can consider letting Miss Yoshiko go. "
In fact, killing Ryoko Kyouya was their original goal.
As for snatching the Ghost Register, that was just something they had done in passing.
The man was well aware that the copy in Ryoko's hands was just a copy, and the real master copy was still sealed under the Kyouya family.
However, the ghosts in these replicas were actually hidden dangers. If they killed Kyumiya Ryoko, the ghosts in the replicas would witness everything.
If other people in the Kyouya family found out about this later …
It wouldn't be good for their master's subsequent election plans.
So after they killed Ryoko Kyouya, they had to bring back this "copy" and wait for their master's latest order to deal with it.
"Ghost Register?"
Under the offering table, Odd Zhuo looked at Ryoko Kyouya.
The Ghost Register was a family secret. Ryoko wanted to say something, but hesitated. She didn't want to explain at first.
But in this case, it didn't seem right not to.
So the girl frowned and thought of a way to summarize it in a nutshell.
"I'm guessing that this is a magic weapon your family uses to seal and control demons and ghosts," Odd Zhuo guessed at that moment.
"How do you know?" Ryoko was astonished.
"It's just my experience." Odd Zhuo smiled.
All along, Ryoko had thought that he was still the same Odd Zhuo from six years ago.
If this had happened six years ago and the girl had confronted him aggressively and suspected that he wasn't the "hero who saved the world" from back then, Odd Zhuo indeed wouldn't have had the slightest bit of confidence.
But now, everything was different.
Odd Zhuo now had the special "Thirty-Three Path Primordial Energy" technique.
Once his true battle strength was completely released, he could rival a True Immortal.
Coupled with the "prediction" …
Perhaps even a True Immortal wouldn't be his match.
In fact, Odd Zhuo could have improved his realm a long time ago.
As long as he wanted to, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to quickly become an Itinerant Immortal.
But after all, Odd Zhuo was now a public official and countless eyes were on him. If he improved his basic realm too quickly, people might become suspicious.
In any case, the basic realm wasn't important to Odd Zhuo.
His battle strength had already surpassed that of a regular cultivator on Earth.
On the contrary, his current "basic realm" gave him an excellent cover.
Like the three people outside the Taoist temple, they had always thought that he only had the battle strength of a Golden Core cultivator.
At that moment, Odd Zhuo was thinking.
Kyouya Ryoko was also trying hard to figure out who on earth had sent the people outside the Taoist temple.
She muttered, "It seems … they probably aren't from Xiushi's side."
Odd Zhuo: "Xiushi?"
Kyouya Ryoko: "Kyouya Xiushi, the only son of my father's second wife, and also my second younger brother."
"I remember him a little. Is he the disabled child mentioned in the news? "asked Odd Zhuo. He had investigated the Kyouya family beforehand.
Such a large family would always have a lot of tidbits of news.
"That's right. My second younger brother is disabled, but I've always thought it was a cover up. So I've been keeping an eye on him. But now I can be sure that he wasn't the one who sent the people outside, "said Kyouya Ryoko.
"Why are you so sure?"
"I can't tell you that."
"It seems that you're quite hated in your family." Odd Zhuo couldn't help laughing. "Actually, I know it even if you don't tell me."
Kyouya Ryoko: "?"
Odd Zhuo: "I think your second younger brother should also have a copy of the Ghost Book, right? In that case, there really isn't a need to snatch it. "
Kyouya Ryoko: "How did you …"
Odd Zhuo pointed to his head. "I also rely on my brain to make a living. I'm essentially different from those big-breasted, brainless women."
Kyouya Ryoko's face darkened. "What do you mean …"
Odd Zhuo laughed again. "Classmate Kyouya, don't get agitated, you don't have one."
As soon as he said that, Odd Zhuo heard Kyouya Ryoko gnashing her teeth.
Then the entire altar … no! The whole Taoist temple seemed to shake slightly …
"Classmate Kyouya, I was just joking, there's no need to be like this …" Odd Zhuo hurriedly apologized.
The girl's expression was also particularly astonished. "No! It wasn't me … "
She hurriedly took out her copy of the Ghost Book from under her cloak.
She was astonished to find that this astonishing and abnormal energy fluctuation was actually coming from this copy of the Ghost Book!
"What … what's going on …" Kyouya Ryoko was so frightened that her little face turned white.
She had never encountered such a situation before, and for a moment she was at a loss.
"Danger!"
Out of instinct to judge danger, Odd Zhuo immediately snatched the copy of the Ghost Book and threw it out with great force.
Outside the Taoist temple, the leader of the men with black ear studs saw something that looked like the Ghost Book fly out, and hurriedly reached out to catch it.
He hadn't expected this young lady to be so straightforward.
"But even so …" The leader stroked the Ghost Book in his hand and smiled coldly.
Even so, Kyouya Ryoko still had to die.
However, just as the man was about to attack, the Ghost Book in his hand suddenly let out an ear-piercing shriek, like the roar of a witch, which made his ears go numb.
In the next moment, a thin woman in red clothes appeared in front of him like a ghost.
Black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and her mouth was smeared with bright red lipstick, with traces of blood dripping from the corners of her mouth. She looked particularly ferocious.
Pen Fairy …
The man looked at the woman in front of him in astonishment, and recognized at a glance that this was the powerful female ghost that the Kyouya family had sealed in the Ghost Book.
He instinctively wanted to escape, but at that moment, he was stunned to find that he couldn't move his body.
"Don't … don't!" The man was so frightened that he had already lost control of his bowels.
The Pen Fairy approached him step by step, and with each step, a demonic wind blew in all directions.
