But he, who was using the Clean Water Charm to clean himself, did not notice that a drop of strange green blood was flashing green light on his left shoulder. It quickly integrated into his skin and disappeared.
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Although I didn't kill you, you died because of me. Go to the afterlife quickly!"
Ding Ning took out a Rebirth Charm with a painful expression and helped Zhai Fang to go to the afterlife. The charm flashed, but it seemed that nothing had happened, and he didn't see any soul go to the afterlife.
It was the first time that he used the Rebirth Charm, so he thought it was a normal phenomenon and didn't care about it. He didn't know that Zhai Fang had sacrificed his soul to the Witch and cursed Ding Ning with his life. His soul had already been destroyed, so how could he go to the afterlife?
Ding Ning used the Corpse-decomposing Water to melt the minced flesh piled up by Zhai Fang and purified the room with the Poison Cleansing Charm to prevent the poison from harming people. Seeing that there was no trace left, Ding Ning left quietly.
But he didn't know that in the depths of a mountain in Xiangxi, thousands of miles away from Ninghai, a huge stone coffin was enshrined in a simple and rough stone hall. In front of the stone coffin, a black-robed old man with white hair and a dark face was sitting on the ground and meditating with his eyes closed.
There was no trace of modernization in the hall, and rows of bronze lamps were lit on the surrounding walls with unknown oil as fuel, giving off a strong strange smell.
Suddenly, a bronze lamp flickered, and the orange flame suddenly turned into a strange green. It made the already eerie hall look even more eerie and creepy, making people shudder.
"Has Zhai Fang's Spirit-leading Lamp gone out?"
The white-haired old man suddenly opened his eyes and shivered all over. His dim old eyes emitted a terrible light, and his black robe fluttered without wind. His horrible momentum soared wildly, and his roar full of infinite anger echoed in the hall. "Who is it? Who dares to kill my grandson and is forced to sacrifice his soul and destroy his soul? No matter who you are, I will tear you into pieces. Wu Tianxie, although you don't know the identity of my grandson, as the Cult Leader of the Demon Cult, you can't escape the blame for my grandson's death, so you must give me a satisfactory explanation."
The figure flashed, and there was no trace of the black-robed, white-haired man in the hall. Only the green flame of the oil lamp was still burning fiercely. One could faintly see an illusory figure struggling in pain, letting out soundless shrill screams. Then, with a flash of green light, the bronze lamp was completely extinguished.
On this day, Zhai Ying, the First Elder of the Corpse-driven Sect in Xiangxi who had lived in seclusion for decades, came out with monstrous anger and set off a reign of terror in Jianghu. Wu Tianxie, an expert who ranked 317 on the Fighting List, was hunted down and had nowhere to go. If the old Cult Leader of the Demon Cult hadn't heard the news and come out of seclusion to persuade Zhai Ying with kind words and promised to find out the real murderer, give Zhai Ying a satisfactory explanation, and give compensation, Zhai Ying's anger was temporarily appeased. Otherwise, the Demon Cult would have been destroyed.
But this was the reality. The Demon Cult was a small sect and could not be compared with a big sect like the Corpse-driven Sect at all. Even though the old Cult Leader of the Demon Cult was not weaker than Zhai Ying and nearly half of the disciples of the Demon Cult had been slaughtered by him, he could only bite the bullet and swallow his anger with a smile.
Wu Tianxie, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, felt aggrieved. "Damn it, old bastard, you secretly put your grandson into my Demon Cult without telling me. What on earth are you up to?
How the f * ck would I have known that the unlucky guy was your grandson? If I had known earlier, I would have worshiped him like an ancestor. How would I have dared to let him wander around the world? Now that your grandson is dead, you come to find me. How shameless! "
But what could he do? He could only send people to inquire about the news while praying that the Poisonous Insect raised by Zhai Fang had not died out and could return to the Demon Cult as soon as possible.
When the disciples of the Demon Cult joined the sect, they would feed a kind of Shadow Poisonous Insect with their essence and blood. As long as the Shadow Poisonous Insect returned within seven days, they could use a secret method to restore the scene when the disciples were killed and find the murderer.
Zhai Ying stayed in the headquarters of the Demon Cult and did not leave. He looked fierce with a straight face, but in fact, he was very happy in his heart.
Although Zhai Fang was his grandson, he was not outstanding among his many grandsons, so it didn't matter if he died. At first, he was very angry, but after the old Sect Master of the Demon Cult promised to teach him the method of domesticating the Brain-eating Gu as compensation, his anger had long disappeared.
The Corpse-driven Sect had always been famous for refining corpse puppets. But it was easy to refine a high-level corpse puppet, but it was very difficult to control it as one's own arm.
The characteristic of the Brain-eating Insect was that it could swallow the brains of living creatures and replace the brains of living creatures to become the commander. This was the only way for the Corpse-driven Sect to control corpse puppets.
He sent Zhai Fang to the Demon Cult to wait for an opportunity to obtain the method of refining the Brain-eating Insect. Now, although Zhai Fang was dead, the ultimate goal had been achieved, so how could Zhai Ying not be happy?
Although Zhai Fang was an insignificant grandson, he was Zhai Ying's grandson after all, and no one could kill him easily. He stayed in the Demon Cult for two reasons. First, he was waiting to learn how to refine the Brain-eating Gu, and second, he was waiting for Wu Tianxie to give him an explanation and find the real murderer to take revenge.
Ding Ning naturally knew nothing about all this. At the moment, he had returned to the previous room and thrown a USB flash disk to Halidan.
"It turned out that Klarman wanted to frame me, and I almost misunderstood Xikala."
Halidan's face was as gloomy as water. He had never expected that the truth turned out to be like this.
"So sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth."
Ding Ning spread his hands helplessly. As a friend, he had done what he could do, and how to deal with the aftermath was Halidan's business.
When Zhai Fang told him the truth, he was also very surprised. He had thought that Xikala was at least an accomplice, but unexpectedly, she was also deceived by Klarman.
It turned out that the person Xikala really liked was Yiding, who was the same age as her, and the two had already promised to marry each other. After learning that she was engaged to Halidan, she was unhappy, so she ran to Yiding to complain, and Yiding could do nothing about it.
Unexpectedly, Klarman hid aside and heard it, so he immediately came up with the evil plan of killing Halidan and making Yiding the scapegoat, killing two birds with one stone.
By chance, he had met Zhai Fang, who was looking for spiritual Gu everywhere. He admired the magical means Zhai Fang showed like a deity, so he worshipped him and served him with good food and drinks.
Zhai Fang was just a lowly little Gu Master and was not qualified to be worshipped in Shenzhou. Being worshipped by a prince like Klarman, he was naturally overjoyed and pretended to be profound.
Klarman had ambitions for the throne, but he had never been sure to get rid of Halidan. Now that there was a godsend opportunity, how could he let it go? So he promised a lot of money to ask Zhai Fang to get rid of Halidan.
Although Zhai Fang's Gu skill was not good, it was still very easy for him to deal with ordinary people like Halidan. He coveted Zhai Fang's reward, so he readily agreed.
But to release the Gu, Halidan's hair, blood essence, nails and so on were needed as the medium. As the crown prince, Halidan had a very high level of defense, so it was not easy to get these things.
So Zhai Fang secretly cast the Mind-bewitching Gu on Yiding and controlled him. When he lost his mind, he encouraged Xikala to get the hair on Halidan that could be used to cast the Gu.
Although Xikala did not want to marry Halidan, she did not want to kill him, so she asked him what he wanted to do. Zhai Fang controlled Yiding and bewitched her, saying that as long as she did what he said, she would not have to marry Halidan and would be with him forever, and he repeatedly promised that he would never kill Halidan.
The simple Xikala was blinded by love and believed Yiding's words, so she cooperated with him and got Halidan's hair and other Gu casting items, so that Zhai Fang could successfully cast the Gu.
The Spirit-eating Insect was accidentally obtained by Zhai Fang in a dangerous place in the Middle East. He did not know that it was a Spirit-eating Insect and thought it was a spiritual Gu, but he could not make the Spirit-eating Insect become a Gu King by all means, so he cast it on Halidan as an experiment.
When Zhai Fang told him how he got the Spirit-eating Insect, Ding Ning did not believe it. After all, the Spirit-eating Insect could not be seen by the naked eye, so how did he collect it?
But Zhai Fang said that the place was full of white miasma, and the Gu in his body shivered at that time and did not dare to show up. According to the records in the Gu book, he suspected that the white miasma was composed of small Gu, so he collected some of the Spirit-eating Insects with a vessel and escaped. Later, he used a secret method to show the Spirit-eating Insects and refined them.
Ding Ning believed it as soon as he heard it. After all, the Spirit-eating Insect did exist in the form of miasma. Since there were a large number of Spirit-eating Insects there, the totem of the Dense Fog Tribe was likely to be nearby.
So he asked Zhai Fang to tell him the detailed terrain there. Unfortunately, Zhai Fang only roughly remembered that it was in a desert southeast of Dibai, and it was not easy to find it.
Ding Ning was so busy that his plan to go to the Middle East to find the Dense Fog Totem had to be temporarily put on hold. He asked Halidan to arrange someone to help keep an eye on it after returning to China, and Halidan naturally agreed.
Halidan's matter finally came to an end, and Prince Hengli began to pester Bai Qing to solve his jade carving problem. After Ding Ning heard it, he could not help but smile bitterly and stare at Bai Qing fiercely.
Bai Qing was also very thick-skinned. He was a little embarrassed before, but now they had become sworn brothers, so he impolitely asked Hengli to find Ding Ning and tell him that he was the master of the Master of the Divine Burin.
Hengli was so happy that he took Ding Ning's hand and said that he wanted to visit the Master of the Divine Burin. Ding Ning had a headache and could only perfunctorily say that the Master of the Divine Burin did not see outsiders, but he would help him to ask his master to carve jade for him, but he asked them to keep the relationship between him and the Master of the Divine Burin a secret.
Hengli was a little disappointed that he could not visit the mysterious Master of the Divine Burin in person, but when he thought that his sworn brother turned out to be the apprentice of the Master of the Divine Burin, he immediately beamed with joy and looked at Ding Ning with a scorching look that made people's hair stand on end.
"This is my bet, and there are two hundred million pounds in it."
Hengli very solemnly took out two cards, took out one of them and put it in Ding Ning's hand.
"What are you doing? How can I take your money? I said it was a joke before."
Ding Ning's face darkened and said quickly.
"Fourth Brother, that is another thing. I am a gentleman, and I am willing to accept my loss. I must carry out the bet according to the agreement. You don't ask me to call you Big Brother when we meet, and I have already taken advantage of you. I must take the money, otherwise, it means that you look down on me."
Hengli insisted with a serious face, and his unquestionable look made Ding Ning feel a headache, but he had no choice but to take it.
"Also, there are four hundred million pounds in this card, which is about 3.4 billion Shenzhou dollars, which is the money I asked your master to carve jade. I don't know if it is enough? If not, you can tell me. "
