After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Su Xiaowan limped to Zhou Yan's side. Zhou Yan stared at Su Xiaowan's wound. Perhaps because he had been looking at it for a long time, Zhou Yan could see wisps of black energy seeping out of Su Xiaowan's wound. According to his omniscient ability, it was actually yin energy penetrating to the bone, making the wound difficult to heal.

Su Xiaowan grabbed Zhou Yan's trouser leg with both hands and choked out.

"Yes, it's Su Changqing!"

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Su Changqing? Su Changqing was the one who kidnapped Qingcai?"

Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

Su Xiaowan nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Qingcai and I were treating patients here before. Qingcai got tired and went to rest, but we found a guy eating people at the bottom of a staircase."

“I went with him. I had seen a picture of your enemy, Su Changqing, before, and I recognized him immediately.”

"Then, then, Su Changqing bit me, and while I was in pain and backed away, he took Qingcai and left."

Su Xiaowan shook her broken hind leg, which had been bitten.

"I... I originally chased after them to save them, but my hind legs hurt so much that I couldn't walk anymore after running for a while."

Zhou Yan understood.

"Your legs are so weak that the yin energy has seeped into your bones, you can't run."

Su Xiaowan said with remorse.

"I couldn't walk anymore, so... so I didn't go to save Qingcai, brother, I... I didn't..."

Su Xiaowan tilted her head back, her small eyes filled with tears.

"It's not that I'm a bad kid, it's just that I really can't walk anymore. I was just about to call you, brother, to help Qingcai, but I really can't."

Su Xiaowan was afraid that Zhou Yan would think she was a bad fox and not a good child for not saving Qingcai.

Zhou Yan picked up Su Xiaowan and comforted her.

"It's normal, it's normal. You have to save yourself before you can save others. If you keep chasing after them like this, it's pointless except to send them to their deaths."

Su Xiaowan's leg is broken, and you still expect this one-legged fox to chase after Su Changqing?

only……

Su Changqing?

Didn't Su Changqing kill himself?

"Xiao Wan, where was Qing Cai taken away? Please show me the way."

Zhou Yan carefully held Su Xiaowan in his arms. Su Xiaowan pointed her little fox paw in a direction and said weakly.

"Brother, there..."

"Turn..."

"It's that stairwell."

Two minutes later, Zhou Yan arrived at the stairwell where Qing Cai had been kidnapped.

At the bottom of the stairs lay a mangled corpse, its face gnawed beyond recognition, blood pooling on the floor. Zhou Yan scanned it.

There were fox paw prints and clear hoof prints around, but no human footprints.

It's not hard to understand. Su Changqing is a ghost, so Su Xiaowan and Qingcai both left footprints, but Su Changqing left no trace.

only……

Zhou Yan recalled that not long ago, he remembered that after killing Su Qing, he rushed to Su Qing's RV and then killed Su Changqing in the RV bedroom.

Zhou Yan had seen Su Changqing's attribute panel at the time, which stated that the Su Changqing in Su Qing's RV was real, or in ghost form.

However, in Zhangjia Community, his omniscient ability showed that Su Changqing's body was dead. It turned out that Su Changqing faked his death using the methods of a Ghost Awakener. Now that he had killed Su Changqing in his Ghost Awakener state, could this guy still fake his death?

No, are you wearing two Rebirth Crosses?

How can it be resurrected like that?

Jesus only resurrected once and became God. You resurrected twice, are you trying to become the Emperor?

"Cuckoo cuckoo..."

A pheasant flew into the window of the stair landing above the stairwell.

"elder brother……"

A voice like that of a young girl came down from above the stairs from the Chongming Bird. Zhou Yan looked at the Chongming Bird.

The Chongming bird stretched out its wings and pointed in one direction.

"Where did the guy who kidnapped Qingcai go?"

Su Xiaowan, nestled in Zhou Yan's arms, hurriedly said...

“I asked Chongba to follow me. I can’t walk, so I had to send Chongba to keep an eye on me.”

Zhou Yan patted Su Xiaowan's head.

"here you go."

The Chongming bird flapped its wings.

"Brother, shall I take you to chase after that big bad guy who kidnapped Qingcai?"

Zhou Yan touched his chin with one hand.

"and many more……"

Zhou Yan took his phone out of his pocket.

Something was off about Su Changqing. Zhou Yan had been an Awakened for half a year, but he had never heard of an Awakened becoming a ghost after death. He didn't understand why Su Changqing could still run so far away and steal Qingcai after he had already killed Su Changqing in the RV bedroom.

This bastard isn't afraid of Qingcai's auspicious light, or of my revenge?

This matter seemed suspicious, and Zhou Yan felt that he probably couldn't figure out what had happened on his own, so he needed to find a professional to handle it.

Zhou Yan dialed Xiao Yanjun's number.

"Brother Yan, it's me, Zhou Yan..."

"Well, what happened?"

Little Yama's voice was somewhat muffled, as if he were doing some kind of exercise.

Zhou Yan then recounted Su Changqing's story.

"...This Su Changqing has already been killed by my 'Purple Heaven Divine Thunder,' but he has reappeared in another place and taken away my, well, my pet. This matter is strange. It is inevitable that I will make a mistake if I handle it alone. Brother Yan, can you do me a favor?"

"Hmm...it's nothing..."

Little Yama's voice was suppressed, and his breathing was somewhat heavy.

"Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up."

Zhou Yan sent the phone's location to Xiao Yanjun.

Ten minutes later.

A ghostly carriage, driven by Bai Qi, came galloping from the end of the passageway. This carriage was not the previous Siyou Xunlan, but in terms of its appearance, it also exuded yin energy and darkness, with reliefs depicting hundreds of ghosts fighting to cross the river, which looked extremely frightening.

The carriage pulled up in front of Zhou Yan. Bai Qi opened the curtain, and Zhou Yan carried Su Xiaowan inside. Before going in, Zhou Yan gave Bai Qi a few words of advice.

"The car follows the heavy-duty 8."

Zhou Yan pointed to the Chongming bird at the window, and Bai Qi nodded without saying a word.

From the outside, the carriage looked like a small space of less than one square meter, but once Zhou Yan went inside, he found that it had more than fifty square meters of space, complete with seats, a bed, and bookshelves, making it a combination of a bedroom and a study.

Inside the room, four ghost eunuchs stood in the four corners, bowing their heads respectfully. In the center, at a small round table, Wu Quxing, with his hair styled in a scholar's bun, sat gracefully drinking tea.

In front of Wuquxing, Little Yama was lying in front of a yoga ball, stretching her small body, pulling her ligaments, and loosening her muscles.

Zhou Yan carried Su Xiaowan closer, and the young man looked at Little Yama with some surprise.

Wu Quxing, looking pale and weak from kidney deficiency, placed the tea on the table and savored it.

"Little guy, when you play a female character in a game, do you customize her face?"

Zhou Yan nodded, puzzled.

Wu Quxing nodded his chin toward Little Yama.

"This guy is sculpting his body right now."

Little Yama muttered something as he exercised on the yoga ball.

"I finally managed to create a female account, and I'm determined to become a super scumbag with a great figure and long legs."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Can't your true gods be a little more serious?

Zhou Yan sat down next to Wu Quxing and then placed Su Xiaowan on the table.

"My little Wan seems to have been injured by yin energy, Brother Yan..."

Zhou Yan moved Su Xiaowan's injured leg to Xiao Yanjun, who was exercising. Xiao Yanjun glanced at it, and the next second, large wisps of black energy spread from Su Xiaowan's leg. In just two seconds, Su Xiaowan felt her leg regain its sensation. She breathed on her leg, and the wound on her leg healed rapidly.

At this moment, Wu Quxing tapped on the table.

Zhou Yan turned to look at Wuqu Star.

Wu Quxing opened his folding fan, which depicted the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, with a swish, and asked as he fanned himself.

"Guo's son has told me about your situation. Xiao Yan and I discussed it, and we both feel that these are things that adults should do. A kid like you should just enjoy your life and wait until you start to have divine status before joining us."

Little Yama, rubbing against the yoga ball, chimed in.

“I know you want to make amends for killing the Su family, but governing a country isn’t just about having the strongest fist. What can you do alone?”

Zhou Yan said firmly.

“I don’t know what I can do, but at least I know I should do it.”

Before the four-school competition, the federal government had already divided the states into those in riots and those under its control. Other powerful families, clans, and individual teams had also roughly divided the states in riots.

In short, the entire Eastern United States is in a state of riots, and the federal government has already planned to hand over the areas to different people. At most, due to the outcome of the four-school competition, the areas governed by some people may need to be changed, and the resources provided by the federal government may need to be adjusted.

Therefore, it didn't matter whether Zhou Yanjia joined the four-school competition or whether he was willing to suppress other states; the federal government had already planned this.

Up until now, Zhou Yan killed Su Qing, who had already been designated to go to Dongyang Prefecture to quell the riots. The federal government's plan was missing a piece. Of course, the federal government had a record of such an accident, but this record was much worse than if Su Qing had gone directly. It would cause the local people to suffer more.

Therefore, Zhou Yan took responsibility for everything and shouldered the burden of Dongyang Prefecture himself.

I didn't interfere with your plans before, but now that I've interfered with them, I'll bear the consequences alone.

Zhou Yan simply refused to believe it. He thought that with Zhuque and Xiao Yanjun backing him up, he could do worse than the Su family's bunch of charlatans.

Wu Quxing closed his paper fan and clapped his palms with the fan ribs.

"You're quite stubborn. Fine, I'll have Lao Guo organize a team of three thousand mechanics to be your henchmen later."

Little Yama, who exercises with yoga, also responded.

“I’ll find you a few government employees who have no way to advance but are capable. You can offer them some incentives, and they’ll listen to you.”

Just as Zhou Yan was about to express his gratitude, the curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and a head of white mist peeked in from the doorway and spoke.

"found it."

Wu Quxing immediately stood up.

"Let me go and see what kind of methods this Su Changqing has."

With a whoosh, Wu Quxing opened his fan, which was painted with the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. This show-off walked out of the curtained door, one hand on his lower back and the other waving the fan. Outside the curtained door, the carriage faced a hospital with shattered windows and rotting, dried-up corpses everywhere at the entrance.

Wu Quxing jumped off the carriage and headed towards the hospital.

Inside the carriage.

Covered in sweat, Little Yanjun left the yoga ball and walked up to Zhou Yan.

A ghost eunuch immediately came up with a glass of lemonade and placed it in front of Little Yama.

Little Yama took a sip, then reached out and made a sweeping motion in the air.

A water mirror reflecting the image of Wuqu Star fanning himself appeared on the table.
