There's something wrong with the general.

Wen Yuxi couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare at the shocking change in front of him.

Although he had some vague guesses about the relationship between the young man and the Taoist priest in gray.

But unexpectedly, when the situation was critical, the Taoist priest in gray robes chose to die together with him.

When the long knife stabbed over, a trace of panic clearly flashed across the boy's face.

He also didn't expect that the Taoist in gray wanted to kill him.

He stared at the scene in horror, his body constantly trying to break free from the ropes around him.

But the rope was some kind of magic weapon that bound him to the ground and he couldn't move at all.

"Help...help me!" The young man was desperate and tried every possible means to get help, shouting for help in panic.

"I have the Chen family's magic weapon. My parents gave it to me. If you save me, I will give it to you."

The Taoist in gray looked at the scene before him and felt it was extremely ironic. A look of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said silently: "Go to hell!"

The long knife was like an extremely sharp sword, stabbing directly into the boy's chest.

His face was instantly filled with pain.

Seeing that he had finally gotten what he wanted, the Taoist in gray suddenly laughed crazily, "Hahahaha."

After he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Although this knife was stabbed by the Taoist in gray robe when he was on the verge of death.

But it was also very scary to look at. The young man was spitting out blood and looked very weak.

The man in green looked at him and suddenly cast a spell at him, stopping his bleeding.

Wen Yuxi looked at him puzzledly: "Why do you want to save him?"

The man smiled at him gently and said soothingly, "It's not about saving him. If he dies, it will be difficult for us to get the answer."

Xiao Jiqiu and Yun Qingyan had already rested by now. Seeing him say this, they quickly responded, "Brother Wen, there's such a big mess at the restaurant this time. Don't you want to find out the truth behind it?"

Wen Yuxi was stunned. That’s right, everything before was just his guess.

But sometimes guesses are just guesses.

He finally nodded and said, "It's up to you to decide."

The man in green smiled at him, turned his head, and said politely before using force: "Since you don't want to say it, then let your heart speak."

At this time, a solemn expression appeared on his face. His hands flew left and right, and he silently recited the magic formula. A ball of orange-yellow gas flew out from his palms, turned into a stream of air and penetrated into the boy's eyebrows.

Immediately the young man stood still, his facial expression dull, as if he had fallen asleep.

The man in green then slowly asked, "What is your purpose in coming to this inn?"

"Attract immortal cultivators and absorb their spiritual power."

Xiao Jiqiu and Yun Qingyan looked at each other.

What kind of insidious martial art is this, which can actually transform other people's spiritual power into one's own use.

"How many monks have you killed?"

"I... can't remember. There were many. They all ended up in the Soul Banner."

Wen Yuxi's scalp tingled when he heard this. What vicious people they were.

"Tell me everything about the extermination of the Chen family and how you colluded with this gray-robed Taoist priest."

"The Chen family is a very inconspicuous immortal cultivation family in southern Hunan. Their ancestors had a female cultivator who married into their family. Some of the descendants then developed spiritual roots and began to cultivate using the techniques and treasures left by the female cultivator. Gradually, they became an immortal cultivation family far away from the common people."

Xiao Jiqiu frowned and said, "The Chen family? Aren't you a member of the Chen family?"

The young man spoke calmly, his tone steady, "I am the child that woman adopted. Her own child died at birth, so she secretly brought back a child. That child is me."

Wen Yuxi asked in confusion: "How did you know all this?"

"She treated me very badly when I was little. When she found out I had no spiritual roots, she treated me even worse. I was very confused as to why a mother would do this to her own child. Later, the maid let it slip, and I knew everything."

He is also a poor man, Wen Yuxi sighed in his heart.

"I have no spiritual roots, my mother treats me badly, my father just stands by and watches coldly, and simply gives up on me. My brothers and sisters bully me, they all deserve to die, don't they?"

"If you deserve to die, then die. I heard that my ancestors had a treasure, so I deliberately spread the news and hid away early. I didn't expect the plan to succeed. They all died, except me."

"So what if I don't have spiritual roots? I'm the only one alive. Unfortunately, I don't know where the treasure is. I've searched for it many times but couldn't find it. But God has been kind to me and has allowed me to find a technique to practice."

"But I couldn't find anyone who could guide me into Taoism, so I set my sights on other Taoists."

"Although the Chen family was destroyed, the treasure has never been found, so people often come to the Chen family to look for it. It was during this time that I saw the stinky Taoist priest. He was as cowardly as a mouse, but also cruel and ruthless. I pretended to be harmless and lied to him that I knew where the treasure was hidden. He didn't believe me and tortured me in various ways. I told him that if I was determined to kill him, he would never find the treasure."

The boy's calm tone paused.

He continued, "He's a casual cultivator, a half-baked monk. I don't know where his cultivation method came from. It can't be compared with the Chen family's. His cultivation level is also mediocre. But he wants to make me his slave so that I will have to hand over the treasure."

"But he underestimated me and overestimated himself. I only did a little bit of manipulation during his spellcasting, and he became my slave. I have the power of life and death, and I am at your mercy."

"After that, I asked this stinky Taoist priest to teach me some skills. Since I don't have spiritual power, I'll go with him to rob others. It feels so good to have power."

Wen Yuxi asked again: "What happened to your eyes? How did you become like this?"

The young man tilted his head to look at him, his face extremely calm: "Because I was harmed by the Chen family."

"They knew I was the one who leaked the information, so they gouged out my eyes and threw me into a mass grave. But it was that yin energy that nourished my soul, turning me into this half-human, half-ghost appearance."

Wen Yuxi looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally understood why he was so vicious at such a young age.

It seems not incomprehensible that evil flowers bloom in sinful land.

"Then what is the Chen family treasure you mentioned? You actually don't know it, and you are trying to deceive the Gray-robed Taoist, right?"

The young man said slowly, "After searching for a long time, I finally found it. It wasn't a Chen family treasure at all, it was just some spiritual stones left by a female cultivator from our ancestors."

Wen Yuxi looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say.

A rumor destroyed an entire family. Who should the Chen family members who died unjustly turn to for justice and an explanation?

What does the King of Hell in the Palace of Hell think of this incident?

Seeing that he looked distracted, the man in blue walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Wen Yuxi raised her head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just feel that things in the world are impermanent."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Xiao Jiqiu and Yun Qingyan: "Brother Xiao, Brother Yun, what should we do with this young man?"

The two of them looked at the man in blue at the same time.

He was the one who caught this little ghost. If he hadn't figured out the relationship between this little ghost and the Taoist priest in gray in advance, the four of them would have been stuck here.

So he said, "What do you think should be done?"
