The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 78 We are strangers

Shortly after Ling Weiyun's clone was captured, just as Feng Ling and the others had predicted.

Ruan Xinrou and the others were still worried, so they sent a large number of guards to surround the entire guest room.

Although the guards who were blocking the way were not highly skilled, Ruan Xinrou and the others' original purpose was simply to plant spies around them so that they could get the news as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Ruan Xinrou also sent people to spread the word: "Elder Ling Weiyun, who claims to be from a prestigious and righteous sect, has murdered dozens of people in my Sun family. His cruelty is despicable! The mastermind has been apprehended on the spot, and his suspected accomplices have been placed under house arrest. We are just waiting for the Yuqing Sect's approval document to be issued before we can execute this beastly old man, Ling Weiyun, with the death penalty of slow slicing! The others will be treated leniently depending on their attitude. In addition, my eldest daughter, Sun Yuyang, and young master Qicheng have mysteriously disappeared. Anyone who finds them will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

A person's name, a tree's shadow. After the old steward of the Sun family led his men to the city gate to post notices and leave, the entire town of Sunset City was abuzz with discussion.

Many people harbored doubts, but no one dared to stand up and testify.

After all, most of them are just ordinary people, and even those who are ghost spirit masters are only at the low or mid level of cultivation. They can't help in any way except by sending themselves to their deaths!
For example: At this moment, Wang Tiezhu, a sixth-level Ghost Spirit Master, is filled with anxiety!
To ensure his mother could enjoy her later years in comfort, Wang Tiezhu and his mother have moved to a large village not far from the city, where there are many elderly people and it is quite lively.

……

"Bastards! This is outrageous! Are these scoundrels really going to rebel?"

Wang Tiezhu mingled in the crowd, watching Fu Lao and the others leave and cursing loudly.

He looked every bit the angry young man.

"Hmm?" A group of guards stopped with the elderly man in charge, looking puzzled.

Old Fu turned and scanned the crowded flow of people, but could not see where the sound was coming from. He frowned again and hurriedly left with his group.

"Shh! Dude, are you out of your mind? Don't you know whose turf you're on?"

"Sigh! Luckily you got far away, otherwise your life might not even be safe!"

Seeing the situation quickly, two handsome young men covered Wang Tiezhu's mouth and pushed his tall figure down into the crowd, thus saving him from disaster.

Otherwise, with Fu Lao's cultivation at the tenth level, how could he not have noticed Wang Tiezhu's remarkable physique?
“Young people, full of vigor! We’re really getting old, getting old…” The elderly people around them exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Fortunately, there were no informants among the crowd; they were all honest, down-to-earth farmers.

Naturally, no one reported it.

"Thank you, who are you?" Dragged out of the crowded throng and brought to the side of the city gate, Wang Tiezhu looked at the two handsome young men of unknown origin with a puzzled expression.

I don't seem to know these two guys at all, so why are they so concerned about whether I live or die?
"Just pretend we're strangers! Remember, don't do anything impulsive or foolish!"

The two young men waved dismissively and quickly disappeared with their long swords on their backs.

Wang Tiezhu was left completely bewildered.

"Hmph! Only fifty taels? The Sun family is really stingy! I don't care!"

Wang Tiezhu turned his head and looked at the notice with a cold snort. Even if he didn't have the huge sum of gold that Feng Ling had given him, he wouldn't bother looking for it.

The Sun family is not short of money, yet they offered such a low price. Not to mention a ghost spirit master like Wang Tiezhu with some skills, even a penniless pauper who is bored to death wouldn't do this.

It may seem that the Sun family is stingy, but in reality, it's just a formality. They never intended to make a real fuss about searching for the two people they were looking for, and they probably knew perfectly well where the two were.

"Young man, even if you're interested, you still need to know where the other party is first!" A ragged, middle-aged man sighed, leaning on his cane as he walked past the honest-looking man. "Oh dear, this almost interrupted my train of thought. No, I have to find a way to tell Feng Ling where that evil spirit master's lair is!"

Wang Tiezhu slapped his forehead, remembering the important reason he had come, and slipped back into the city.

Before leaving, he smiled at the old man. What Wang Tiezhu didn't say was that he knew exactly where Qicheng was!

On the street, a handsome man and a charming woman walked hand in hand.

Suddenly, the woman stopped, looked at the man, and said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, do you think that old man Ku will genuinely help us? After all, that brat has a special identity, it seems unnecessary for him to offend the entire Jade Purity Sect for our sake, right?"

Feng Ling and the others were confined to their quarters, something Wang Tao and Hu Mei'er had already heard about. They knew more about the corpse theft than anyone else, because the two men in black who followed Zhang Yi yesterday were them!

At this point, the Sun family had been sidelined, and the other side's plan had been largely successful. But what could the two of them gain from all their hard work?
Don't let it happen then,
It's all for naught!
“The thoughts of evil spirit masters are always unpredictable. Now we have no choice but to believe him. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t hunt us down, once he exposes our secrets, we’ll be burdened with infamy for the rest of our lives and forced to live in seclusion!”

Wang Tao gritted his teeth and glared at Hu Meier, responding in a deep voice. Since the two were communicating telepathically, they were not afraid of being overheard by those around them.

"Huh, it's Wang Tao? Why weren't they arrested..."

Having met Wang Tao once at the lantern riddle event, Wang Tiezhu recognized the two of them immediately upon entering the city.

He vaguely remembered that the other party had a grudge against Feng Ling and a hatred towards him.

"Wang Tiezhu? What a small world! Let's go and have a go at him."

Noticing someone spying, Wang Tao focused his gaze and recognized the face. He quickly led Hu Meier and intercepted the honest-looking man who was about to slip away, his expression turning hostile.

"Oh my, isn't this the talented Wang! With a hundred taels of gold, you no longer need to worry about making a living, so why are you in such a hurry?"

The sarcastic words came from the charming woman's mouth, and Wang Tao and his companion were filled with indignation: "We were just getting angry, and now they've sent us a punching bag. Heaven really is kind to us!"

"What are you doing? In broad daylight... in front of everyone!" Wang Tiezhu was terrified.

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind sweep past him at high speed.

In the next instant, the three of them appeared in the desolate forest not far from the city.

"So, what now?"

With a thud, Wang Tao and Hu Meier looked at the honest-looking man they had just thrown into the withered leaves and grass with a mocking expression.

"Brother Tao, just give him a good beating to vent your anger, don't kill him!"

Upon hearing what the woman said, the honest and kind-hearted man breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he wouldn't lose his life.

Before I could even say thank you, the woman casually added, "Beat him up like a pig's head!"

Wang Tiezhu's face was filled with grief and indignation; he was clearly very angry at Hu Meier's next words.

"Okay, I understand!" Wang Tao replied calmly, cracking his knuckles as he slowly approached with an evil look on his face.
