Chapter 89

With the Ghost Dao borrowing technique, the black-haired monkey became abnormally fierce and actually started a fierce battle with the blood corpse! The blood corpse was naked, without the bone spurs that the ghost doll had, so it couldn't gain any advantage in the confrontation.

With Song Wanyi and Xijun mediating, the black-haired monkey, like a wolf or a tiger, firmly suppressed the blood corpse.

Under the three-pronged attack, the blood corpse couldn't resist and was thrown into the big trees several times! The black-haired monkey bit the blood corpse with all its might, creating bloody holes all over its body.

This blood corpse was far inferior to Zhang Tianxi, and it was quickly dismembered and torn into pieces by the black-haired monkey!

"Very good, even a blood corpse can't defeat you. It seems that although you don't know the ghost-summoning technique, you have truly inherited the Ghost Dao tradition. However, you have taken the same path as your grandmother, which will be very difficult. If it weren't for your mother calling me for help and telling me about your situation, you would have almost crossed the line." The old man with the mask threw the bell in his hand and stepped on it, flattening it.

Then he took off the mask. His face and voice were both incredibly weathered, but one could imagine that when he was young, he must have been a very handsome man. However, there was a fierce scar on his face, which might be the reason he wore the fierce mask.

"Is it that you've never seen the mask of the ghost-summoning tradition? Or is it because I look strange? Or perhaps your mother never told you that someone from the Zhou family would come to save you?" The old man said with a smile.

"Zhou family? Why would someone from the Zhou family drive away corpses?" I was completely stunned, but quickly frowned in suspicion.

"Heh heh, what's so surprising about the Zhou family using the ghost-summoning technique to drive away one or two blood corpses? If you can't do it, does that mean no one else can? Your grandmother could bring Zhou Xuan's corpse back to Xiaoyitun, so it's not difficult for me to drive away a soulless blood corpse. It's just a matter of summoning a ghost into my body and controlling it forcefully." The old man took out an old photo from his pocket and threw it to me.

I thought it was a talisman and tried to dodge, but Song Wanyi caught the photo for me.

After looking at it, my expression changed several times. The photo was a family portrait of the Zhou family, with many people. The scar-faced old man was sitting in the center, and at that time, he was only in his forties or fifties, without the scar on his face. My young mother stood near the old man, and the rest of the people I didn't recognize.

"I am the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Shan, and your grandmother's brother. As for driving away corpses, I don't know how to do it and don't care to. I just happened to pick up a ghost-summoning bell from someone and played with it a bit."

I frowned slightly. If it was just picked up, that would be strange. This must be something you stole, right? I had Song Wanyi return the photo to him.

"Did you summon the ghosts that attacked the Four Small Immortals Temple?" If it was the ghost-summoning tradition, summoning so many fierce ghosts would be no problem.

"Exactly, I summoned them, but I just wanted to warn you and make you prepare. They didn't attack, did they? Instead, you almost wiped them out." Zhou Shan explained.

"Why did you come to save me? I'm not part of the Zhou family, and you didn't save Zhou Xuan when she died, did you?" I still didn't trust him.

The sky was gradually brightening, and the rain had stopped. I looked at the Four Small Immortals Temple and found everything to be calm. It seemed that what Zhou Shan said was true, but I had to be suspicious.

"We didn't save Zhou Xuan because we couldn't. If she died, dozens of people in the Zhou family would have died too. But saving you would have been easy for the Zhou family. Do you understand now?" Zhou Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

His meaning was clear: I had almost crossed the line, but Zhou Xuan had already crossed it.

"What about Wu Zhenghua?" I pointed at Wu Zhenghua, wishing I had left his soul so I could question him.

"Wu Zhenghua? Don't you have a grudge against him? I saw him sneaking up the mountain in the rain, followed him, and after a few words, I got a sense of his intentions. I calculated that you would come to kill him, so I decided to give you a head start." Zhou Shan was completely unbothered by Wu Zhenghua's death.

If that's true, it probably wasn't just a few words; he must have shown some skills too.

"Alright, you can say whatever you want now, since the person is dead." Although I didn't believe him, I took out my phone to call my mother.

I found that the phone was turned off. I turned it on suspiciously and waited for a signal. Just as I was about to dial, a series of missed calls and messages from my mother appeared.

The messages were all asking for reasons. I finally understood.

When I encountered the corpse driver, I thought I was about to die and wrote a will to send to my mother. But I was startled by the footsteps of Master Hai and others, and the phone fell to the ground, sending the message by mistake and causing the phone to shut down.

When my mother received the message, she was naturally shocked and immediately contacted the head of the Zhou family, my grandmother's brother, Zhou Shan, who personally came to help.

This was the reason for tonight's events. The family didn't openly send people, still adhering to the three-day agreement.

And the corpse driver? Was he killed by Zhou Shan?

"Is the corpse driver dead?" I asked, dialing my mother's number.

"Dead." Zhou Shan answered.

"Mom, there's an old man here named Zhou Shan, who says he's the head of the Zhou family?" The call was immediately answered, and I didn't hesitate to ask.

"Yitian? You're safe? That's great! You've met your great-uncle?" My mother was excited and cried, probably not having slept all night.

"Great-uncle?" I looked at Zhou Shan and said, "Mom, is this the person? Listen to his voice."

I handed the phone to Zhou Shan, whom I should call great-uncle.

Zhou Shan took the phone, told my mother that everything was resolved, and then handed it back to me.

My mother gave me a few more instructions, then sighed in relief and told me to treat my great-uncle well and not to neglect him.

I was relieved. It seemed that Zhou Shan was indeed my grandmother's brother, the current head of the Zhou family, and the most powerful person in the ghost-summoning tradition. He was the super leg I should call great-uncle, which might be why Sister-in-law didn't warn me.

As for the corpse driver, I suspected that he was found and killed by the hundred ghosts Zhou Shan had summoned. Although I couldn't ask him, I didn't know of any other way someone could be so powerful as to hunt down and kill a stranger like searching for a needle in the sea.

With all doubts cleared, I immediately ran over and grabbed my great-uncle's hand, "Great-uncle! You're here! Do you know, I'm like meat on someone else's chopping board, about to be killed!"

Zhou Shan was stunned, frozen in place by the sudden change. "This..."

"From now on, you're my strong leg. Let me tell you, I've had a falling out with the local family, and they're about to come after me. What should I do? Great-uncle, since you're here, why don't you take care of a few old guys from the local family while you're at it?" I tried to persuade Zhou Shan, hoping he would resolve everything since he had come all this way.

Zhou Shan quickly waved his hands in refusal, "No, they haven't crossed the line. Otherwise, what's the point of the review? I've made countless calls and found out everything. Besides, I'm acting secretly and only killing those who have crossed the line. If I did as you say, I'd be asking for trouble from above, and the Zhou family would be criticized!"

I understood why the Zhou family didn't save Zhou Xuan. It seemed that Zhou Shan was a rule-follower, and it was impossible for him to resolve the family issues.

"Alright, let's forget about the family issues. But if anyone crosses the line to kill me, you must take action! I have many enemies lately, and I'm afraid they might cross the line. There's a guy named Li Po-xiao, who I suspect is an old monster. You must investigate him. If you find anything, summon the ghost king and crush him with one claw." I said with hatred, fearing Li Po-xiao.

"Um, if it's as you say, this guy will definitely die." Zhou Shan frowned and listened carefully to me.

We talked in detail as we followed another small path down the mountain.

Although Zhou Shan was my great-uncle, he was also a sly old fox and didn't plan to tell me much. When I asked about my grandmother, he only said what I already knew. As for the Zhou family, he didn't say a word.

It seemed that these family heads, like Li Ruizhong, had too many concerns.

But it couldn't be helped. As the head of the family, he had to take care of dozens of people, so being cautious was inevitable.

When we reached the road, I wanted to invite him to the Four Small Immortals Temple to meet Master Hai and the others.

But Zhou Shan said it wasn't convenient to meet them and had to hurry back. However, he was still interested in me and said I could visit the provincial capital when I had time and stay at his place.

After all, we were relatives. Although he couldn't always be a strong leg, he had saved me once, so I didn't insist on keeping him. I sent him to the entrance of the Four Small Immortals Temple and returned to the temple.

Zhou Shan insisted I didn't need to see him off and walked back along the road.

At the entrance of the Four Small Immortals Temple, a Volkswagen car was already parked. I saw Yao Long, who had a large build, looking at me, and I waved to him.

Besides him, Zhao Qian, Lin Feiyu, Liu Fangyuan, and Master Hai were already outside the temple. It seemed that last night's issues had been resolved.

Seeing them all safe, I felt relieved and almost fell to the ground, exhausted. I looked at myself and saw that I was covered in dirt and blood.

Seeing me safe, Zhao Qian didn't mind the dirt and ran over to hug me, causing me to wince in pain.
