You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Su Chen concluded: "Senior Qiu, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck."

It was not just that the purple aura allowed him to foresee the danger in advance and set up a secret formation, but also because Chang Yu handed the Haibei area over to him, which was destined to be safe.

After finishing, Zheng Heng sighed.

The City God of Haibei is much more unfortunate than that of Jianzhou.

He failed to escape and died a long time ago.

"The underworld here is completely empty, and many of the evil spirits have probably fled," Zheng Heng said with a heavy heart. "For a while to come, the Exorcist Team will probably have to be stationed in Haibei."

"No wonder... no wonder so many evil spirits appeared around Master Su just now." Wang Haitao curled his lips, "If you didn't know, you would think that evil spirits were everywhere."

Su Chen dug out seven pieces of white jade from around the City God Temple and reminded: "Let's go and have a look at other places."

He had previously suspected that there was a spy in the exorcism team, so he specifically called Chang Yu to give him a subtle reminder. He wondered if he understood.

Anyway, now that the problem here has been resolved, I have to go and have a look somewhere else.

When we arrived at Xizhou with a dozen people, the other side was already cleaning up.

They suffered a tragic loss. One person from the evil-hunting team died, and the rest were seriously injured.

Zheng Heng hurried forward to bandage the man, and Su Chen also took out the silver needle.

"Damn it! You knew we were going to investigate, but you still kept your tail between your legs and sneaked away. You had to let the spies deal with us and make us kill each other. What a bastard you are!"

Wang Haitao couldn't help much and could only curse.

While cursing, he kicked the tied person a few times.

"You sons of bitches, can't you just stay home peacefully with your wives and kids during Chinese New Year? You have to sell out your country!"

"Squeak, squeak!" Squirrel Fairy nodded while quickly peeling a candy and continuing to stuff it into her mouth.

After treating the injured, Su Chen led his men to move again.

This time I met Chang Yu directly.

He had a wound in his arm and was gasping for breath, obviously having just finished a fight.

He smiled when he saw Su Chen.

He took out a box from his pocket and handed it to her: "Would you like some mung bean cake?"

"There's no Hydra on Xizhou's side, what about yours?" Su Chen took it and opened it, took a piece for himself, turned around and handed it to Wang Haitao, who took two pieces. Then Su Chen placed the box in front of Squirrel Xiaoxianer.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The fat squirrel was spinning in circles happily, and its big tail almost made it dizzy.

Sanyu shook his head: "It's not Hydra."

After a pause, he narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is it in Haibei?"

Chang Yu's eyes trembled when his sight fell on Qiu Zhijiang, who was tied up tightly in the crowd.

"Senior Qiu, you..."

Su Chen saw Chang Yu was in a daze and then felt distressed. He paused and called Wang Haitao: "Let's go and take a look somewhere else."

As Chang Yu said at the beginning, the leaders of this operation were all veterans. Xuanshi had dealt with ghosts a lot and was well aware of their cunning. Therefore, no one was killed in the other three places. Injuries were inevitable, but not serious.

After meeting up with Chang Yu and the others through the ghost path, the two old men glared at Qiu Zhijiang when they saw him.

"Old Qiu, you...are confused!"

Qiu Zhijiang lowered his head and said nothing.

"Old Qiu, tell me, what exactly is this all about? If Fellow Daoist Su hadn't gone to Haibei this time, would you have let that nine-headed snake really become the Haibei City God? What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Exactly. Have you forgotten the days when we traveled day and night to quell evil spirits in order to maintain peace in the country?"

His arm had been treated, and Sanyu, who was bandaged, also followed suit: "Yes, Senior Qiu, I heard that you were also on the front line during the Anti-Japanese War, wasn't it?"

why?

Would such an old senior still help the evil?

They were puzzled.

Su Chen looked indifferent and even had time to ask Wang Haitao about the time.

Even with the ghost path, because every place had to be finished, it took a long time to go back and forth, and it was already past three in the morning.

Su Chen looked up and saw that there were no stars or moon here.

It made the night seem even darker.

Wang Haitao leaned over to his ear and said, "Master Su, guess what Senior Qiu is after? Money?"

"Wealth has always moved people's hearts!"

Su Chen glanced at him.

Zheng Heng walked back quietly.

"Have all the injured been treated?" Su Chen asked.

Zheng Heng sighed: "It can only be handled simply."

"A lot of injuries have occurred, and they'll need a long time to recover." He was worried. "What's the situation in the other three underworlds? Have the evil spirits escaped as well?"

"That's not an exaggeration. Are you a vegetarian as a senior?" Wang Haitao retorted. He glanced at Qiu Zhijiang, whose arm he had broken, and touched his chin. "Hey, don't you think I was a bit too harsh earlier? From what Fellow Daoist Chang said, Senior Qiu was also a veteran. Even if he made a mistake now, he should be given some respect, don't you think?"

Su Chen didn't answer.

His gaze moved from Chang Yu and the others, and soon fell on the old Taoist with white eyebrows.

His aura was very pure, and the power of Taoism in his body was not concealed, it was very strong.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the master uncle that Chang Yu mentioned.

At this moment, he did not ask any further questions like the others. He turned three round peach wood beads with a gloomy face and stared at Qiu Zhijiang.

Perhaps because everyone's questioning was too annoying, or perhaps because he had given up, Qiu Zhijiang finally spoke up: "I just want my granddaughter to live longer. Is that wrong?"

He raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

"Back then, I fought bravely, fearless of life and death, but what did I get in return?"

"My feet are not lame in the war, but because of the beatings they made me!"

"You asked me to repay evil with kindness, and I endured it. I also worked hard in the Xuanwu Group for more than ten years, but what did I get?"

"The merit is so tiny. Haha~ Forget about exchanging it for a year, even half a month is impossible."

Qiu Zhijiang looked at Chang Yu with bloodshot eyes and said, "Why can he extend it for three years? Why?!"

"Haha, because he has a good family background. Unlike me, I have to work like a slave all my life. The granddaughter I finally found knows that she is about to die, but I can't save her life. God is so unfair!"

Qiu Zhijiang roared, his expression gradually becoming grumpy: "Since God is unfair, then I will defy God. What's the problem?!"

His voice gradually faded away.

"They promised me that if I succeeded in becoming the City God and obtained the Book of Life, they would help my granddaughter extend her life."

"I didn't really want to kill them. I just couldn't trap them without a killing formation. Really, I just wanted to buy them a little longer. Three days, just three days."

"I clearly calculated the time for you to come to support me. Everything was clearly as planned. Even if you knew about the incident and came to support me later, it would be too late. By then, the City God would be gone, and the Fate Book would be unable to be corrected in a short time..."

Qiu Zhijiang smiled bitterly, tears welling up in his eyes. "I just wanted my poor granddaughter to live a few more years. Why? Why can't even this little wish come true? Her parents are both dead, she's so pitiful... why?"

Wang Haitao choked, suddenly turned around and patted his cheek lightly.

Zheng Heng was silent, and everyone present was silent.

After a long time, Chang Yu spoke.

"Uncle Master, you said before that you would go to Haibei after this matter was settled. Was it because of Senior Qiu?"

Qiu Zhijiang looked up in surprise.
