Chapter 21: Chapter 21: What a dutiful disciple!

Translator: 549690339

Following Ma Long’s gaze, Xu Yang looked towards the door.

Just as he suspected.

In front of the black sedan was a license plate reading “Ning A: K2523”!

Xu Yang could feel his blood pressure rise, the magical energy within his body began to circulate uncontrollably!

Was it the person who had stolen the old man’s corpse?

What was he doing in the shop?

However, he quickly took a deep breath, managing to control the rage within him!

Perhaps they didn’t know that he had already found out about the license plate number… using this, he may be able to turn evasiveness into a source of information!

……

The car door opened.

A youth dressed in mourning clothes stepped out of the car.

He walked directly into the funeral shop, glanced over Xu Yang, and said, “Shopkeeper, I want to buy something!”

“Buy what?”

Without changing his expression, Xu Yang stood up and asked, “Has there been a death in the gentleman’s family?”

“Huh?”

Wang Wei’s face turned dark, he coldly asked, “What do you mean?”

“What’s the matter?”

Before Xu Yang could respond, Ma Long stood up irritably, glaring at Wang Wei and said, “My brother is in this business, can’t he ask? If no one died in your family, why are you here?”

Wang Wei gritted his teeth in frustration!

His master’s death had filled his heart with immense sorrow!

He was well aware that his master’s unfortunate incident had occurred because he had infiltrated this funeral shop at night.

He wished he could kill Xu Yang with his bare hands!

But he couldn’t, and he dared not!

The Lu Shan Sect wanted to find something from Xu Yang. If he killed Xu Yang and disrupted the plan of Lu Shan Sect, he likely wouldn’t even know what caused his death!

Swoosh!

Just at that moment, a chilly wind blew.

Ghost Lady appeared next to Xu Yang.

She took one look at Wang Wei, waved her little hand, and wrote a line of words in blood in front of Xu Yang, “He has murderous intent, he wants to kill you! His martial arts aura is very similar to the one who broke into the shop that night, perhaps his disciple!” Then, while writing, she glanced outside again and added another line, “There is a Dao-level expert in the car outside, with an aura similar to the one I killed remotely, they must be from the same sect.”

Her figure and the words of blood she had written were still only visible to Xu Yang.

“Oh?”

Xu Yang, without changing his expression, snuck a look outside!

Just as he thought… killed one, and another one came?

So…

They came to the funeral shop today to test him?

No matter what, in broad daylight, under everyone’s eyes, they wouldn’t dare to attack him!

“What do you want?”

As ideas flashed across his mind, Xu Yang looked at the youth in mourning clothes and asked, not knowing his name.

“Joss paper, paper offerings…”

Wang Wei repressed his killing intent and listed a lot of items.

Xu Yang brought all the items to the counter and laughed, “You have lost your master, haven’t you? Very good, very good, truly a filial disciple, I’m sure your master would be pleased in the afterlife!”

“Huh?”

Wang Wei’s gaze darkened again.

As if Xu Yang hadn’t seen it, he lowered his voice and coldly said, “By the way, where do you plan to bury your master? Be careful not to let someone steal his remains and scatter his ashes!”

Wang Wei’s pupils contracted!

He paid for the items, didn’t say a word, and walked out of the funeral shop.

“Master Chen…”

As soon as he got into the car, he was about to speak, but the hunchbacked elder in the back seat said with his eyes closed, “Don’t talk, just drive away from here!”

At this moment.

The hunchbacked old man, soaked in cold sweat, stood behind!

He had not “seen” the female ghost.

But just now, he had sensed a surge of Yin energy, and an extremely strong murderous aura!

That murderous aura made his hair stand on ends, giving him a bone-chilling sensation as if falling into an ice cave.

“Ghost King!”

“It’s indeed the Ghost King!”

“Damn it… This is the city center, the place with the most people, why would a Ghost King reside here?”

“Xu Zhiyuan was severely injured years ago, his fall in cultivation level was inevitable, how did he manage to subdue a Ghost King?”

“Da Xia’s Supernatural Affairs Bureau… actually allowed a Ghost King to reside in the city?”

Various thoughts flashed through his mind.

Not until the black Volkswagen drove out of the city, the hunchbacked old man finally said: “Wang Wei, what were you trying to say earlier?”

Wang Wei replied: “Master Chen, That Xu Yang seems to know something…”

“With that existence sitting in his home, it’s quite normal that he knows something.”

The hunchbacked “Master Chen” took a deep breath, “Don’t think too much about it. Just focus on hosting a proper funeral for your master. I need to go back. With a Ghost King watching, with my abilities, there is no possibility of getting the Supreme Purification Seal… This is not a trivial matter, I must report this immediately!”

“The martial arts I’ve granted you, practice well!”

“When I return, I will bring back for you a spiritual elixir… With that, your cultivation level will surely surge, giving you plenty of opportunities for vengeance in the future!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Wei, who was driving the car, happily responded, “Thank you, Master Chen.”

“You still call me Daoist?”

The hunchbacked old man replied blandly.

Wang Wei quickly corrected himself, “Thank you, Master!”

The hunchbacked old man nodded. He accepted Wang Wei as his disciple because he valued Wang Wei’s filial piety and because he needed Wang Wei to work for him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned the Supreme Purification Seal to Wang Wei.

…

Funerary shop.

As he watched the black Volkswagen drive away, Xu Yang asked, “Lady Ghost, can you keep an eye on them for me?”

In the air, words of blood arose.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already got my sights on them.”

Her small hand moved to add a pause after which she wrote anew, “That young man is called Wang Wei, and the Daoist’s surname is Chen… Humph! They have indeed come for the Supreme Purification Seal. That Daoist seems ready to leave Wu City to request help in dealing with me!”

At this moment.

A murderous intent burst forth from the female ghost.

The blood-red words that she wrote became even more concentrated, “Daring to covet my master, they’re truly seeking death!”

“Xu Yang, don’t be afraid!”

“As long as I am here!”

“I am looking forward to seeing how many of them I have to kill!”

“…”

Xu Yang was left mouth agape!

The King?

So, Lady Ghost is a Ghost King?

So domineering!

This sense of security suddenly became too much for him!

At his side.

Seeing Xu Yang talking to himself, Ma Long felt a sudden pang of pain in his heart!

It seems that his brother’s condition has not improved… It appears that Dr. Wan was right after all. Simply taking medication will only treat the symptoms but not address the root cause. He should really take him out for a walk, to relax and rejuvenate his body and mind.

He said, “Old Xu, we agreed… night fishing at the Yellow River. Wait for me at home, I’ll come pick you up!”

With that,

He left the funerary shop, started up his BMW, and roared off.

Xu Yang was left speechless.

He sat in the funerary shop all day and, aside from the items that he had sold to Wang Wei in the morning, he had only sold a single wreath all day.

As night fell.

Ma Long arrived.

He drove his BMW, with two girls in tow, stopped outside the funerary shop, rolled down the window and called, “Old Xu, let’s go fishing!”
