Chapter 548: Chapter 537: Resurrection, Reversal
As soon as these words were spoken, whether it was the funeral procession on Zhou Clan’s side or the fifteen Void Shattering Realm monstrous beings opposite, they were all stunned on the spot.
Zhou Wang’s throat moved, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, feeling that Qin An before his eyes was like a madman.
A Tong Daoshuai at the early stage of Void Shattering Realm, even with profound background, could definitely not be a match for fifteen monstrous beings at Great Success of Void Shattering Realm.
There was no such record of one fighting fifteen across the entire Tianyun Dao.
Yet now Qin An said he would reluctantly accept their monstrous souls.
In his view, it seed to be a bit of insane talk.
On the other hand, across the way, the leading Horse Demon snorted, its face full of derision.
"Braggart boy, with a sowhat unfamiliar face, should’ve only recently joined the Evil Extermination Bureau. Today, let us divide his flesh among us, so everyone can taste the flavor of an Evil Extermination Bureau’s Tong Daoshuai."
Upon hearing this, the remaining fourteen Great Success of Void Shattering Realm monstrous beings burst into laughter.
It was as if they were mocking Qin An’s ignorance.
But at this mont, the laughter abruptly stopped.
The leading Horse Demon only experienced a flash of light before his eyes, followed by a chill on his neck.
A sharp pain transmitted from his neck to his entire body.
He raised his hand to touch it, only to find his palm stained with blood.
When he looked down, his head had already fallen from his neck, rolling several tis on the ground before coming to a stop.
The headless corpse collapsed on the ground, blood gushing out, staining the earth red.
Qin An wiped the blood off the Horse Demon’s corpse with his straight blade, saying calmly, "I don’t know what you’re laughing at, but if I were you, I wouldn’t be able to laugh."
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining fourteen monstrous beings imdiately felt a chill spread from their spines throughout their entire bodies.
One of the monstrous beings shouted, "Kill, kill this little creature, and dig out his heart for us to feast upon!"
The fourteen monstrous beings simultaneously launched an attack on Qin An.
But before the attack landed on Qin An, they saw Qin An’s figure flicker, leaving a shadow behind and disappearing.
Following that, another fierce blade light flashed.
A monstrous being was split in two from the top of its head by Cold Star, and its monstrous soul was taken by Qin An and tucked into his bosom.
Before the remaining monstrous beings could react, another blade light flashed.
Another monstrous being’s head flew high once more.
With each blade, another monstrous being’s life ended. With Qin An’s current cultivation at the Great Success of Void Shattering Realm, coupled with his profound background, he could slash even those at Shattering Void Realm Perfection in a single strike without using the Secret Technique.
Let alone this group of Void Shattering Realm Great Success monstrous beings, who were simply no match for Qin An.
With each blade light that flashed, another corpse collapsed to the ground.
When Qin An wiped the blood off Cold Star on a monstrous being’s body, no monstrous being corpses were left on the field.
Qin An sheathed his blade and shook his head, "What a pity, only fifteen monstrous souls ca."
"If a hundred monstrous souls had co, it would’ve been quite profitable."
These words brought together with the cold wind blowing Qin An’s black clothes, made everyone’s heart shiver with fear.
The Zhou Wang who initially thought Qin An was speaking nonsensically, turned pale as paper, her hand gripping the handkerchief loosening slightly, allowing it to fall to the ground, unable to recover for a long ti.
Qin An indifferently turned around and looked towards the funeral procession behind him, saying, "Mount Wuliang is just ahead, go quickly to bury Old Master Zhou, and my task will be completed."
These words dropped like a stone into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
Everyone present snapped back to reality and hurriedly lifted the coffin, silently following Qin An towards Mount Wuliang.
After that, there were no further dangers.
The group smoothly arrived at Mount Wuliang.
Zhou Wang, looking at the scenery of Mount Wuliang, revealed a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
"It’s been so long since I’ve returned here. This is where the old master originally started, and unexpectedly, he has to return here in the end."
Qin An stood guard with his blade beside him, speaking calmly, "Where should he be buried?"
Zhou Wang, looking sowhat flattered, as if Qin An speaking to her was an honor, quickly replied.
"Walk up, around the middle of the mountain, there’s a bamboo grove, which was the old master’s favorite place."
"The old master said, if he died, he should be buried in the bamboo grove."
Qin An nodded slightly and said, "Then let us set off."
Zhou Wang did not dare utter a single superfluous word, leading the funeral procession upwards until they reached a lush bamboo grove.
The bamboo grove was dense, with each bamboo growing extrely tall, so even crossing paths in mid-air, blocking half the sunlight.
Amid the dappled light and shadow, Qin An followed the funeral procession to a clearing.
The ground was thickly covered by fallen bamboo leaves.
Zhou Wang imdiately instructed several clan mbers to clear away the fallen leaves around.
Being cultivators, the clearing wasn’t particularly difficult.
In the ti it took for half an incense stick to burn, the ground had been cleared to a sufficiently large space.
Without wasting ti, Zhou Wang once again directed the clan mbers to start digging a pit in the ground.
When a deep pit was dug out, a clan mber set the tombstone at the front, then turned to look at Zhou Wang.
"We can continue."
Zhou Wang then had the clan mbers carry and carefully place the coffin into the deep pit.
After completing all this, they did not cover it with soil.
Zhou Wangshi slowly walked over and lay on the tombstone, beginning to cry bitterly.
Every cry was heart-wrenching.
The rest of the Zhou Clan mbers saw Zhou Wangshi start to mourn, and they also began to wail loudly.
The sound of crying quickly filled the area.
Qin An watched all of this with indifferent eyes, scanning the faces of each crying person, but he did not see anything unusual.
He had speculated earlier that perhaps the person who revealed the identity of the Zhou family’s secret agent was likely soone from the Zhou family.
Otherwise, how would the other party know so easily where the funeral procession would pass?
However, without any conclusive clues, Qin An did not continue to observe.
After all, his mission this ti was simply to escort.
If he had any thoughts, he could explain them to Zhu Xueshuang after returning, leaving Zhu Xueshuang to send soone to investigate.
Zhou Wangshi cried on the tombstone for a while before gradually stopping, though she continued to sob.
However, soone capable of becoming the mistress of the Zhou family must also be a cultivator.
Zhou Wangshi quickly adjusted her mindset, waved her hand, and prepared to have the Zhou family mbers step forward to cover the coffin with soil.
Qin An thought everything would proceed smoothly, but unexpectedly, before the soil could fall on the coffin, sothing unusual suddenly happened.
The once-still coffin suddenly began to tremble slightly, and then ca a dull knocking sound from the lid of the coffin.
This knocking sound startled all the Zhou Clan mbers present, who then collectively stepped back.
Being a master of the Void Shattering Realm Great Success, Qin An reacted imdiately when he heard the knocking sound.
He squinted his eyes, ca to the coffin’s side, and said, "It seems that the old Master Zhou may not be dead."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangshi imdiately shook her head.
"Impossible, Mr. Qin, the master has been dead for so ti. There have been no signs of revival during the vigil. If he has suddenly co back to life, sothing abnormal must have happened. The master may have beco a Pseudo-God. Please, Mr. Qin, quickly act and slay the Pseudo-God."
A Zhou clan mber echoed.
"Please, Mr. Qin, act and slay the Pseudo-God. The master hated monsters and Pseudo-Gods the most in life. If he knew he had beco a Pseudo-God after death, he would never find peace."
During their conversation, a thin stream of Evil Qi seeped through the coffin gaps.
Qin An’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sensed the Evil Qi.
"It really could have beco a Pseudo-God."
This Evil Qi is not sothing humans possess.
Only monster Pseudo-Gods have Evil Qi, so the appearance of Evil Qi might indeed indicate that the old Master Zhou has beco a Pseudo-God.
In a hurry, Zhou Wangshi said, "Mr. Qin, while the master has not fully regained consciousness, please act quickly and slay him. This coffin was specially made to suppress the Pseudo-God’s Evil Qi, so Mr. Qin might as well destroy it along with the coffin."
After hearing this, Qin An shook his head and said, "No, I seem interested in seeing what this Pseudo-God looks like."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wangshi’s face subtly changed, but she quickly said.
"Mr. Qin, please don’t be careless. The master was a cultivator of the Void Shattering Realm Great Success, about to step into Shattering Void Realm Perfection. If he has transford into a Pseudo-God and is emanating Evil Qi, he might step into Shattering Void Realm Perfection, which would be a huge problem."
"Please, Mr. Qin, act now."
Qin An suddenly said, "Are you so eager for
to act because you want to destroy the evidence?"
At these words, Zhou Wangshi was stunned.
Qin An went on to say, "I’ve been observing you all for a while. When you were crying, you didn’t show any flaws, but now you are showing them."
"As the mistress of the Zhou family, it is impossible for you to want your patriarch to die without knowing why, nor would you act so hastily at this mont."
"You are so urgent now, wanting
to act and smash it with the coffin, perhaps because your family patriarch isn’t completely dead, or you can’t ensure his death."
Zhou Wangshi’s face suddenly turned pale, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Qin, what on earth are you talking about? I don’t understand a thing."
"It’s okay if you don’t understand." Qin An smiled slightly, "As long as you can see, I’d like to see what’s inside once this coffin is opened."
Zhou Wangshi’s earlier behavior was too abrupt and overly eager.
Qin An had already suspected that the person who leaked information about the Zhou family patriarch was likely soone from the Zhou family. Now, combined with Zhou Wangshi’s performance, Qin An suspected that Zhou Wangshi was likely the one who leaked the information.
Of course, this is just a guess, but it can easily be verified.
We just need to see if there really is a Pseudo-God inside the coffin.
As Qin An finished speaking, he raised his hand and slashed out a blade made of Nine-Colored Void Essence.
The blade struck the coffin lid with precision, splitting it into pieces. As the coffin lid shattered, the situation inside the coffin was revealed to Qin An.
Inside lay Master Zhou, dressed in burial clothes, eyes wide open.
His eyes carried a hint of despair and a touch of anger.
On his burial clothes were dark seams.
Those seams emanated Evil Qi.
The Evil Qi from earlier was transmitted through these seams.
"I see. Using special material threads to sew the burial clothes, releasing Evil Qi at this mont could mislead
into thinking it’s the work of a Pseudo-God. If I acted, I would kill Master Zhou along with it."
Qin An caught Zhou Wangshi by the neck, lifting her up, eyes narrowing, "Why betray the Evil Extermination Bureau?"
Zhou Wangshi struggled frantically, her eyes filled with misery, yet she remained silent, biting her lip hard, glaring at Qin An with venomous eyes as if she wanted to swallow him whole.
Qin An’s left hand didn’t pause, and with a flash of Void Essence, he shattered the seams on Master Zhou’s burial clothes.
The seams seed to suppress Master Zhou, and as Qin An shattered them, Master Zhou weakly crawled out of the coffin.
He gasped for breath and suddenly spoke to Qin An.
"This gentleman, please show rcy, this vile woman knows so secrets of great use to the Evil Extermination Bureau."
