Chapter 508: Feng Jiao Di Di Drowning in the Cold (asking for monthly tickets)
"The destruction of the Killing Ghost Sect?"

Xu Shu touched his chin, knowing that Xiaoya was not really asking him, but just wanted to bring up the subject.

After all, it was previously suspected that the Ghost Killing Sect, which had been wiped out, had revived and secretly caused trouble in the family compound of the Judgment Department. This led to the subsequent large-scale search of the entire safe zone city by the Judgment Department, which was the fuse.

"What do you mean?" Xu Shu continued to ask.

"When you mentioned Hong Jun to me, it reminded me of something." Xiaoya's eyes sparkled. "The entire Sha Gui Men was wiped out a few years ago because they acted too radically. This time was very close to the tragedy at the Jing Wang Mansion. Do you remember?"

"Of course I remember that nonsense. I'm not a fish." Xu Shu rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "You mean the Jingwang Mansion is actually the headquarters of the Ghost Killing Sect?"

"?" Xiaoya was stunned. "Why do you think so?"

Xu Shu: "Isn't that what you said? You see, the Ghost Killing Sect was destroyed, and the Prince of the Well Palace was also destroyed. The Ghost Killing Sect had a grudge against the Living Cultivators, and the Prince of the Well Palace was destroyed by the Tiger, so it must have had a grudge against the Living Cultivators. So isn't the Ghost Killing Sect equal to the Prince of the Well Palace?"

"...Oh my god, your logic is so complete that even I think it makes sense."

Xu Shu immediately smiled proudly: "Right? I am a master of reasoning!"

"You're right! How could the Killing Ghost Sect be so idle as to care about the lives of ordinary people? And didn't I tell you that the Prince Jing's Mansion belongs to my mother's territory?" Xiaoya jumped up angrily and hit Xu Shu's knee hard.

Xu Shu rubbed his knees and said speechlessly: "Okay, so can you please explain what you want to say? And can you deal with the fourth on the list? If you can't do anything to her, just tell me earlier, and I will withdraw first, don't kill me."

Xiaoya said unhappily, "Why are young people so afraid of death?"

Xu Shu got angry when he heard this: "You are so arrogant. You are not afraid of death just because you brought a puppet. I came here in person. The life of our dragon elephant is also life. Forget it. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to slip away first."

As he said this he pretended to jump out of the car.

"Don't go, don't go, just listen to me."

Xiaoya quickly hugged Xu Shu's thighs, and when she saw him stop in displeasure, she continued, "Ahem, this is a long story, so I'll keep it simple. It's like this, the style of the Killing Ghost Sect is even more unscrupulous than the Destroying Living Society, and they even used the other party's children as hostages, threatened a living cultivator to commit a crime, and killed thousands of innocent civilians, in an attempt to prove that 'living cultivators have lost all conscience and their inheritance should be cut off'. This was the fuse that led to their demise by the mysterious master."

"So?" Xu Shu frowned. "Can you get to the point? You keep saying that the Ghost Killing Sect was destroyed. What does it have to do with me? And isn't it possible that they are not completely dead yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoya immediately followed up with the conversation, "Oh, right, right! That's the key point. It's because the Ghost Killing Gate was not completely torn apart that you can't back down. You must get to the bottom of this matter, Brother Xu Shu!"

Xu Shu: "Are you sick? This has nothing to do with me. I'm not a living cultivator."

"No, this really has something to do with you!" Xiaoya shook her head.

"Ok?"

"Don't be anxious, just listen to me and I will stroke it for you." Xiaoya acted like a little kid.

This time she had already done enough foreshadowing, so she didn't act like a riddler anymore. She just said, while flexing her thin and short fingers, "Look, the reason the Killing Ghost Gate was destroyed was because they threatened the Living Cultivators to commit crimes and massacre tens of thousands of people, right?"

"Ah."

"The Jing Palace was destroyed by a living tiger, right?"

"Ah."

"Liu Yuan, the head of the Liu family in Lulingtai, was once the director of the 'Tiger Head Brand' department! You know, if the brand of the director of Huo Xiu directly contains the name of an animal, it represents the type of their strange servants, right?"

"Ah."

"And Liu Yuan's strange servant is a tiger, right?"

“Uh…oh!”

Xu Shu leaned back slightly. After listening to Xiaoya's questions that sounded like elementary school word problems, he suddenly realized, "I understand. You mean, the living cultivator who was threatened by the Ghost Killer and had to kill innocent people was Liu Yuan, the director of the Tiger Head Brand Department? Was the Jing Palace destroyed by Liu Yuan?"

Xiaoya snapped her fingers with a smile on her face: "Right! Smart! It seems you are not stupid!"

"No." Xu Shu suddenly shook his head.

Xiaoya said: "What's wrong again? Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished talking yet."

"No, no, no, don't say it first, let me say it first, because what you just said is wrong. First of all, Liu Yuan's strange servant is not a tiger, but a hedgehog. A white-haired hedgehog that looks like an old lady with a cat face." Xu Shu said.

Xiaoya was stunned for a moment: "Huh? How do you know that he has a strange servant who is a lynx lady? This is something only very few people know."

"A friend of mine told me this." Xu Shu thought about it and asked again, "Lynx Needle Lady?"

"Yes. The species of the white-haired hedgehog you mentioned is the Lynx, a third-level alien species that likes to eat baby hair." Xiaoya looked at Xu Shu in confusion, "Didn't your informant explain it to you clearly? Strange, he even knew the true form of Old Lady Bai, how could he not recognize her? Why is this guy so weird... He gives me the feeling that he is both knowledgeable and mentally retarded... Who is he? Is he trustworthy?"

"Hehe, he's reliable, but his ability is average. He relies on sneaking in to help me gather information. He may not be very knowledgeable." Xu Shu laughed it off.

"I see." Xiaoya nodded, and continued, "Then let's get back to the point. As the director of the Tiger Head Brand Department, Liu Yuan must have a tiger among his servants, and it is a rare bloodline, a species of earl named [Golden Eyed White Tiger].

"This alien species has the ability to turn living people into ghosts.

“So it’s obvious that the tragedy at Prince Jing’s Mansion was committed by Liu Yuan under threat. Even though he was threatened by the Killing Ghost Gate, human life was at stake after all, so he caused the entire Liu family to be killed.

“As for the Sha Gui Men, as the main culprit, they were naturally also punished by the mysterious strong man.

"Now the question arises, why didn't the Ghost Clan find other living cultivators to attack, but chose to attack the Liu Clan, whose strength and influence are not weak?
"It's very simple, it must be because the Liu family has what they want! That's why the Ghost Killer has made a comeback, and Voodoo has also followed them, all for the Liu family's heirloom!
"So originally I didn't believe you when you said that Voodoo had found a strong man like Hong Jun as external aid, but now I understand, because the boss of the Killing Ghost Sect back then was called Hong Xiu! He was from the Blood and Fire Tower, and he was also the elder brother of Hong Jun!

"What if the voodoo used the conflict between Hong Xiu and Liu as bait, or even further, what if it used something that Hong Xiu failed to obtain as bait? That would be enough to impress her!

"Haha, this must be the case! Everything makes sense now!"

After Xiaoya finished speaking, she clenched her fists tightly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.

"Wow, so that's how it is. It's really wonderful. You are the real master of reasoning, Xiaoya!" Xu Shu clapped his hands to agree with her, and then his face immediately darkened. "So after talking for so long, what does this have to do with me?"

Xiaoya glanced at him and said, "It is related. I calculated the time. Old Yu was expelled from the sect because he killed an entire family. Well, the family he killed should be the Ghost Killing Sect."

"No, sister. Let's not talk about the fact that Lao Yu and I are not master and disciple at all, but what's wrong with you people from Penglai? Do you always like to kill off entire families?"

Xu Shu's mouth twitched, and then he said suspiciously, "Are you saying this on purpose to deceive me?"

"No, I just figured it out. After all, I was too young back then and I can't remember a lot of things."

Xiaoya shook her head, then nodded and said, "I told you before, Liu Yuan and Lao Yu are good friends. When I was a kid, Lao Yu wanted to please me, so whenever Liu Yuan came to see him, he would let me ride the golden-eyed white tiger to play, while the two of them were doing research in the small dark room.

“Now that I think about it, what Liu Yuanlai asked him to help research should be the Liu family’s Seven Treasures Lotus.

"The Liu family was also glorious in the past, but it's a pity that this treasure was passed down to future generations, which brought disaster instead. This is called a crime of possessing a treasure, and it attracted the covetousness of the Killing Ghost Gate. It's a pity that the golden-eyed white tiger was still very familiar with me. It's a pity that she disappeared after the Liu family's accident, most likely she died together.

“But then again, Liu Yuan is very tight-lipped and it is impossible for him to spread this kind of news. How did the Ghost Killing Sect know this?
"After thinking about it, there is only one possibility! And only one person can do it!" Xiaoya looked at Xu Shu with a steady gaze, with a hint of great wisdom and enlightenment.

Xu Shu was a little scared by her look. After thinking for a while, he followed her lead and said, "Are you trying to say that voodoo did it?"

Xiaoya clenched her fists and said, "Yes, it is Voodoo! There were not many brothers in our sect back then. Apart from Old Yu who preached everyday but could not teach anyone, and Voodoo who could live openly as a 'mechanical expert', the only person who was available was me, a two-year-old! It is impossible that I was the one who spread the message, right?
“In addition, Wudu has always coveted the treasures dropped from the [Wusheng Xuanmen], and he has enough criminal motives and conditions to do so. Now he is directly and openly teaming up with the people from the Shaguimen. Who else could it be but him?!

"That's why he has been fanning the flames since the incident with Old Yu. It turns out he is the culprit! He just wants to force Old Yu away because he is afraid that he will discover the truth!"

"..."

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that this voodoo had done so many bad things, how come it had been doing so bad for decades until now?

As soon as this thought arose, accompanied by a string of information such as "Yu Mingluan and Liu Yuan are good friends", "The Liu family was wiped out", "Bai Sanxiang told us not to bring Alice close to Luling Terrace", "The golden-eyed white tiger mysteriously disappeared", etc., Xu Shu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Hiss... Could it be that Alice is...

"Why do you suddenly look so unhappy?" Xiaoya suddenly became suspicious.

Xu Shu came back to his senses and quickly changed the subject: "No, I was just wondering, how could this damn voodoo be so evil! He and I cannot coexist, and I must make him pay with blood!"

Xiaoya was fooled. She patted Xu Shu's waist and said with satisfaction, "That's right! My dear nephew, as Lao Yu's apprentice and successor, you are now directly using Lao Yu's skin to stir up trouble everywhere. You can't just sit back and watch this happen, right? The hatred of the elders is your hatred!"

As they were talking, the train gradually slowed down, and finally stopped, and the doors opened.

We have arrived at Lulingtai Station.

Xiaoya looked at the people getting off the bus, touched her chin and said, "Then again, I didn't expect Hong Jun to be willing to go along with the gang. This is indeed a difficult matter to handle. Don't act rashly. Wait until I go back and talk to someone about it. Humph, to get involved you have to rely on power and background!"

"No, after listening to you for a long time, I now have some ideas about how to deal with Hong Jun." Xu Shu frowned.

"What clue?"

"I think everything else you said is right, except for one thing. The person fourth on the list may not be our enemy," said Xu Shu.

"Ah? What do you mean? Didn't you just say Hong Jun was here?"

Xiaoya was stunned. "Why did you change your mind again?"

This time it was her turn to copy Xu Shu's words.

Xu Shu said: "It's mainly because I listened to your nagging just now. I thought about it over and over again, and finally I caught a sensitive point of hers."

Xiaoya became interested: "Oh? What sensitive spot? Tell me in detail!"

"Answer me a question first. Do you know how many brothers and sisters Hong Jun has? They must be blood relatives, born from the same mother as her."

"Well. The old leader of the Hong family has three sons. In addition to the deceased leader of the Killing Ghost Sect, there is also a little daughter. But this daughter is not as eye-catching as her brothers and sisters. She has very poor talent. Her name is Hong Yan, and she seems to be just a first-level rookie. What's wrong?" Xiaoya asked.

Sure enough...Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.

I was wondering why this name was so familiar before, now it’s correct!
When Hong Yan was leaving her last words in Xinglong Village, she mentioned that her sister was a master on the Human Ranking and her name was Hong Jun! The pronunciation is exactly the same, both are on the Human Ranking and both are on the Blood and Fire Tower. It is indeed not a coincidence, they are really the same person! (Note: 3-10)

That way, the great enemy won’t come!
Xiaoya looked at Xu Shu's suddenly cracked mouth and couldn't help shuddering: "Why are you laughing so horribly...hiss, are you trying to hold her sister hostage to deal with her? Are you crazy? Don't be so arrogant. I was just kidding you. With your strength of 360th on the human list, you can't beat Hong Jun at all. You can't even survive three seconds——"

"Of course not! No time to explain, I have to start it."

Without waiting for Xiaoya to finish her words, Xu Shu looked at the train that was about to close, curled his lips, concentrated all his will, twisted it into a thick stick, and fiercely inserted it into the Taichu Scroll:

[Detecting current status...]

[Testing completed. 】

[Your situation is not good. This is the Lulingtai train station. You already know how terrible and powerful the enemy is. Even with your strength, you cannot resist the pursuit of the fourth on the human list.]

[However, along the way, you listened to Xiaoya (Ouyang Suxian) telling you about the past, and learned more about this not-so-long-ago but dusty history. You knew that you had to kill the voodoo of the Ghost Killer Gate, and your personal orange cat Alice might be related to the Liu family that wiped out the whole family, so you had to go on this trip.]

[Even if the abyss of hell lies ahead, you are determined to die and step into it resolutely.]

[Knowing it is impossible but still doing it, is this the fate of the dragon elephant? Your life is like walking on thin ice...]

[“Hey, don’t be impulsive! If Hong Jun is really here, you will die!” Xiaoya holds you back, hoping you will calm down.]

[However, you are not calm, instead you sneer: "Humph, what do you mean you want to die? You can't die at all!"

"After killing me, this woman said something like she was sorry for her mother and offering blood sacrifice to the dead. It's obvious that she came here to avenge her brothers and sisters! This means that one of the people I killed was her blood relative, Hong Yan! This is her only remaining blood relative!
"That's why she came so late. Why? Because she sensed that Hong Yan was dead and followed him!
“And the people I just killed were a total of 19 demons, 6 Red Emperor soldiers, 1 cat hedgehog and 1 voodoo puppet. There were monsters and foreign devils among them. Hong Yan was naturally not here!

“So, where is she, and was she killed by me?

“There is only one truth—Hong Yan has become Luo Lan’s scapegoat!
"So, not only is Hong Jun not our enemy, on the contrary, he can even become our ally! Of course, you will know whether I am right or not after trying it! Hahahaha!"]

[You are unrestrained and laugh loudly, just like Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination. How happy do you think you should be?]

[“No, what are you talking about? What about after killing you, what about being killed by you, what about coming late? Are you crazy? Stop, stop! Don’t go to die!” Xiaoya cried and shouted, trying to stop you. ]

[This did not work, instead you picked up Xiaoya and headed straight for the Bai Clan's ancestral hall.]

[Oh my! You actually discovered the truth? This is not right. This kind of wisdom is not like you at all. Is this you? Tell me who possessed you! ]

[As your thoughts raced, you ran to the Bai Clan Ancestral Hall like a familiar figure, kicked the door open, and slapped your hips, saying, "Hehehe! Sisters, come out to greet the guests!"]

[Eighteen demon girls stared at you blankly. They had no time to react before you threw them into a pack of tigers. How could you get the tiger cubs? The demons fell down, and Slaanesh wailed.]

【Essence*18】

【Erosion Crystal*18】

【? 】

[Okay, okay, this makes sense. It seems that you are the one who discovered the truth, and you are the one with amazing wisdom and cunningness! ]

[No need to say more, what appears now is the strongest form of the cunning man Xu Longxiang - Superman! ]

【You are already invincible! 】
