Chapter 799: Evil spirits gather together, and they are wiped out in a moment
At the round table meeting, the knights were silent for a while, and then one knight broke the silence:
"Dead! The entire Shasun family, regardless of gender, age or status, as long as they were direct members, died almost at the same time, with the exception of very rare cases. They all screamed and were terrified before they died. At this juncture, it goes without saying who did it. Everyone's previous guesses were wrong!"

Another knight nodded and said, "We were wrong. We all underestimated the Tiantong Sect Master. He is even more terrifying than we expected. We may have to re-evaluate how we get along with him."

A white-haired knight sighed, "That's true. I'm glad Hircine did that. Fortunately, I didn't fight him directly before. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would be in big trouble."

A group of knights were talking about it, but Hirsing said nothing. He lowered his eyes and sat there calmly, but in fact, he was not calm in his heart. He was reviewing the previous events to see if there were any loopholes left.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have sent those Assassin killers to test him, but should have gone to meet the other party directly.

After much thought, Helsing still felt that the biggest loophole lay with the two Assassin killers.

Although he used the name of the Shasun family to do this matter, the Shasun family didn't know about it.

If the leader of Tiantong didn't kill David directly, but instead used telepathy on him, it would be easy to find out that David didn't actually send an assassin to kill him.

And if the killer was not sent by the Shasun family, who could it be?

Helsing frowned. In London, there were only a few forces that had connections with Zhang Zhiwei. It would be easy for the other party to suspect the Royal Anglican Knights, which was not a good thing.

Helsing's attention to Zhang Zhiwei gradually increased.

At the beginning, even though Zhang Zhiwei was very powerful and had an extraordinary record in the Magic City, he was very casual.

At his level, it is difficult for him to be moved by the strength of personal force because it is too unsafe.

He knew too many powerful people who were eventually assassinated silently by assassins who were much weaker than themselves.

For example, the two Scourges of God, the Hun King Alati and Genghis Khan, both once swept the world. They had almost reached the peak of personal martial arts, and no one dared to say that they were stronger than them. But even so, they were assassinated by killers.

The cause of Genghis Khan's death may still be in doubt, but the Hun king Attila did die from an assassination.

That's why he sent assassins to test Zhang Zhiwei.

After testing Zhang Zhiwei and seeing him demonstrate his strong strength that was not afraid of group battles and assassinations, he began to take him seriously and gave him great respect.

But even so, in his heart, Zhang Zhiwei was still just an object that could be exploited.

But after this incident, Zhang Zhiwei's status in his heart was raised again. He had changed from an object that could be used to a person with whom he could not be easily made an enemy even if he could not be used.

That's why he reflected on his previous behavior, wondering whether it would leave an unhealable gap between himself and Zhang Zhiwei.

The knights at the round table, seeing that Hircine had not expressed any opinion, asked him the reason.

Hirsing paused and told them about his concerns.

After hearing what Hircine said, the group of knights fell silent.

After a moment, a knight said, "Since you've done it, you have to do it carefully and flawlessly. Don't waste your time and energy on it."

"You're right. Hircine's plan this time is good, but it's a bit too sloppy. However, it's not impossible to save it." said another knight.

Hircine looked up and asked, "How? Tell me?"

The knight said, "Although David didn't hire a killer, there is more than just David in the Sassoon family. Isn't it enough to hire other members?"

"Other members?" Helsing shook his head. "Even for David, it's already a stretch to hire an assassin from the Assassins, so I'm afraid it won't work for other members."

The knight smiled and said, "Don't forget, one of the Sassoon family married into the royal family and became a princess. If she uses the connections of the royal family members, it won't be difficult for her to hire Assassins' assassins."

"Also, my people have reported to me that a spiritual force just interfered with him and tried to take away her soul, but was stopped by the priest guarding the palace."

"According to the priest, the quality of this spiritual power is extremely high, but the distance is too far, and the opponent should be using it on multiple targets at once, so the spiritual power is too dispersed, so he can intercept it."

"If the opponent had focused a little more, the princess would have died. But the opponent has no chance to cast the spell again."

"Because he has brought the princess to the alchemical matrix under Buckingham Palace. Any mental attack or even curse attack will not be able to affect her."

After listening to what the old knight said, Hircine pondered for a moment and said with a sullen face:
"You mean to send this princess... away to give an explanation to the Tiantong Sect Master?"

He prepared himself mentally before saying this.

"I don't think it's appropriate. The royal family is our face. When have we ever been so humble? I don't agree!" a knight said angrily.

"I don't agree either!"

"Yes, if we really do this, how can we still have the face to survive in this world?"

…………

…………

Many knights objected. They were the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets. How could they do such a thing? Wouldn't this bring shame to the Empire?
Hircine said: "I don't agree to do this either. Even though the Sassoon family has been destroyed and the princess has no backing, this is related to the reputation of Great Britain. We can't do this."

Seeing the crowd's reaction, the knight who mentioned this matter just now said:
"Everyone, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to hand over the princess. I just wanted to let Tiantong Sect Master know that the Shasun family has such a person in the royal family. I won't mention anything else."

"As for what he will think, that's none of our business. We're not lying, nor are we doing anything shameful. We're just stating a fact. It's nothing, right? Don't think too much about it, hahahaha..."

Maybe he also felt that the proposal just now was not good, so he laughed to himself, but no one agreed with him. It was not a funny thing.

After a while, Hircine said, "I know what you mean!"

He looked at Walter beside him and instructed: “You don’t have to go in person, just send someone over and tell him that someone in the Shasun family married into the royal family, his previous methods were blocked by the royal family, and that person is protected by the royal family.”

Walter nodded: "Master, I remember it!"

Hircine continued: "Just convey it as I said, not a word more, not a word less!"

"Yes, master!" Walter nodded.

The other Knights of the Round Table looked at each other and were suddenly enlightened. They were all old foxes and understood Hircine's meaning in an instant.

Just say that in the Shasun family, someone married into the royal family and was protected by the royal family, without saying anything else. It seems that only half of the words were said, but in fact, there is room for understanding no matter how.

It can be considered that this is Helsing's tactful persuasion to Zhang Zhiwei to stop and spare the life of the princess. And if Zhang Zhiwei finds out that the killer was not hired by David, he will only subconsciously think that the killer was hired by the princess and will not suspect Helsing.

In short, both the appearance and the substance are taken into consideration.

As for whether Zhang Zhiwei would cause trouble for the princess, Haiersing didn't care.

In this era, the power of the royal family is not as great as before, not to mention that the spouse of a royal member is even more insignificant. As long as the death does not bring shame to the empire, it does not matter whether or not one dies, or how one dies.

…………

On the other side, in the spiritual world, Zhang Zhiwei looked at the souls standing densely in front of him. There were men and women, old and young, all of them were direct descendants of the Shasun family.

Some of them looked stupid and dazed, because some souls got lost during the process of calling them back. Some looked terrified and trembling, and some looked angry and yelled...

Zhang Zhiwei didn't even look at these things, nor did he have the heart to torture them. He was just about to beat them to death when he suddenly noticed something strange around him and a golden light shot out with a snap of his fingers.

With a "puff", the air nearby twisted and a shadow was blown away.

It turned out to be a clown, wearing a colorful fluffy costume, pointed red boots, and a pale face. The corners of his bright red mouth were torn upwards at an exaggerated angle, almost extending to his ears, revealing two rows of jagged fangs, and a spherical nose that was a strange crimson...

A fist-sized hole appeared on its chest, bubbling with black air, and golden light flickered around the hole.

The golden light was spreading outwards like wildfire, making the hole bigger and bigger.

The clown screamed miserably, rolled on the ground in pain, and kept slapping the hole in his chest, trying to extinguish the golden light that was burning like a flame.

But everything was in vain. The golden light was the nemesis of such evil things. Soon, the clown was eroded by the ever-expanding golden light and turned into ashes.

"Were the evil spirits from the spiritual world seduced here by the souls of living people?"

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the densely packed souls in front of him. Many of them had signs of being bitten by something on their bodies.

"I'm afraid that summoning souls all the way here will attract some bees and butterflies!"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he felt a chill in his heart. Following the feeling, he turned his head and saw a cold wind that penetrated his bones suddenly blowing in the distance.

The wind carried all kinds of indescribable monsters, which rushed here with their bloody mouths wide open and drooling.

When the living souls of the Shasun family saw this scene, they were so frightened that they trembled and cried out to the sky.

The more they cried, the more excited the evil spirits became. They were about to swarm over and eat them up. As for Zhang Zhiwei who was standing nearby, he was ignored by them.

"Um?!"

"Rebellion!"

Zhang Zhiwei opened his eyes and shouted sternly. At the same time, an indescribable aura emanated from his body. In an instant, the black and white world was filled with flying sand and rocks and a strong wind.

The chilling wind that the evil spirits raised pierced into people's bones and frightened them so much that they stopped breathing for a few seconds.

These evil spirits in the spiritual world were all frightened by Zhang Zhiwei. In this spiritual world, they had never seen such a powerful existence.

Some weak evil spirits were even hit by this Qi and broke apart like a punctured balloon, with the Yin Qi in their bodies spreading everywhere.

The other evil spirits were also frightened and dared not act presumptuously anymore. Hundreds of ghosts retreated, coming and going in swarms. The Yin Qi that was sweeping the sky and the earth just now disappeared in an instant.

"Are you...are you saved?"

Some of the living souls of the Shasun family thought with relief in their hearts.

But the next moment, a golden light like a wave came and blew them into ashes.

It was Zhang Zhiwei who took action. As a Taoist priest, he could not tolerate evil spirits committing crimes in front of him, so he saved them, but this does not mean that he would let them go.

“Ahhhhh… Devil… You devil! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!!”

Seeing his blood relative lose his soul in front of him, even the ruthless David felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He had been begging for mercy from before, but now he no longer held out hope and started to curse at Zhang Zhiwei.

"You die too!"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't tolerate him either. He clenched his fists hard and strangled David to death, leaving him with endless regret and resentment.

After the entire Shasun family was exterminated, Zhang Zhiwei did not feel the slightest bit of emotion, as if it was just a trivial matter.

With a thought, he left the spiritual world and his consciousness returned to his body.

In the real world, his hands were still pinching David's neck. David was standing straight, his body was still warm, but his soul was dead and his consciousness had disappeared.

Before crushing David's soul, he used his blue hand to read David's memory.

His original intention was to find out how much property David had, where it was kept, and information such as his bank password.

But he unexpectedly discovered the deal between David and Walter, and the fact that David did not hire the Assassin killer. Even in David's memory, he did not find anything about the Assassin killer. He had no connection with this killer organization at all.

"This guy originally wanted to be a coward. He only came to target the Tiantong Church on Hircine's orders."

"And Hircine, or rather Hircine's steward Walter, promised to protect his safety, but in the end, Hircine sold him out!"

"On the one hand, he lets the Shasun family deal with me, and on the other hand, he tries to make friends with me. What is this old guy planning?"

Zhang Zhiwei really couldn't understand Helsing's plan, and could only describe it using the evaluation of this group of people by later generations.

They are just a bunch of troublemakers who like to do messy things that harm others and benefit themselves. Wherever they go, there is a mess.

"So, the Assassin's killer from before was probably brought here by them!"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhiwei shook his head. Regardless of what these troublemakers thought, he planned to pack up the property left by the Shasun family and take it away first.

With the fall of the Shasun family, there are probably many people eyeing their property, so we have to act quickly.
