I stared at Liang Kaixiong and kept silent. I was struggling in my heart.
Liang Kaixiong saw my hesitation and continued to persuade me. "It's fine if you don't believe me. You don't have to save me. You can leave this place, leave Shenzhen, and escape to another place. That way, even if I want to take revenge on you, I won't be able to find you. What do you think?"
I didn't pay attention to him and just squinted my eyes. Countless thoughts ran through my mind. After five minutes, I didn't answer his question. Instead, I asked him, "Yesterday, when we had a life and death duel, how did you get the spirit you summoned?"
Liang Kaixiong didn't expect that I would suddenly ask him this question. However, as he was eager to win, he didn't hesitate and answered, "My father gave it to me."
Grand Elder Liang Tianxin?
I frowned. From his age, Liang Kaixiong didn't fit the description of the person who had arranged the Twenty-Eight Fiend Yellow Springs Formation. His father, on the other hand, was at that age thirty years ago.
I asked him about Li Ying. However, besides knowing that his father had given it to him, Liang Kaixiong didn't know anything else.
After confirming that I couldn't get anything out of him, I stood up. I didn't attack Liang Kaixiong but took out my phone.
Although Liang Kaixiong was in great pain, he still exhaled deeply. His twisted face even squeezed out a smile. I guessed he thought that I had agreed to his condition and was about to call an ambulance.
Unfortunately, I didn't call the hospital. I called Wang Yongjun.
The call went through quickly. Wang Yongjun asked me in a hurried tone, "Did everything go smoothly?" I didn't answer him. I just told him to prepare a driver and a car and wait for me outside the Qilin Villa at the fastest speed. Once the driver arrived, he would contact me.
Wang Yongjun heard the seriousness in my voice, so he didn't ask anything else. Instead, he straightforwardly agreed.
After making the call, I found a chair next to Liang Kaixiong and sat down.
He had heard what I had said to Wang Yongjun. At this moment, he felt that something was wrong. He started to cry and beg me for mercy. However, I didn't pay attention to him and just sat there quietly without saying a word.
Very quickly, Liang Kaixiong lost the strength to speak. He slumped against the side of the bed, using his last bit of strength to protect his chest. His face was filled with despair.
Around a few minutes later, before Wang Yongjun's call came, someone knocked on the door. I was bewildered. At this moment, Liang Kaixiong seemed to see the hope of survival. He didn't even care about his intestines that were about to spill out of his stomach. He opened his mouth and was about to scream.
I sat there without moving, but the Taoist energy in my body surged out and surrounded Liang Kaixiong. It easily drowned out his feeble cries for help.
I calculated the time. If Wang Yongjun had sent someone as soon as he got the call, he should have arrived by now. I didn't mind the knocking on the door and continued to wait in silence.
Just as I had expected, Wang Yongjun called me half a minute later. He told me that the chauffeur and the car were waiting in front of the hotel. The car was the same one he used to pick me up, and the chauffeur was the one I knew.
Moreover, he told me that the driver has several hundred thousand renminbi in cash. No matter what I wanted to do, I just needed to tell the driver. The driver had been his subordinate for many years, and he would listen to my arrangements.
Wang Yongjun was indeed worthy of his experience in the business world. I didn't need to explain anything, and he seemed to know what I was going to do.
After receiving the confirmation call, I didn't hesitate and walked to Liang Kaixiong. Ignoring his begging, I guided my Taoist energy and condensed it into the shape of a needle. Then, I sent it into his glabella. Instantly, Liang Kaixiong's body shook. His eyes opened wide, and he stopped breathing. He lay there stiffly, not moving an inch.
Then, his hand that had been covering his stomach slowly slid down. A small slit on his stomach became bigger and bigger. In the end, it turned into a big, open mouth. His intestines flowed out and spread out.
At this moment, the Dao Ghost Seal in his hand suddenly turned into a pile of ashes. Then, a red aura with thick Taoist energy shot toward me.
Instinctively, I used my Taoist energy to block it. However, just as Liang Kaixiong had said, my Taoist energy couldn't stop the Dao Ghost. The red aura directly hit my body and condensed on my left wrist, creating a pattern that was exactly the same as the one on the Dao Ghost Seal.
After that, even I could feel the thick Taoist energy on my wrist.
I tried to use the dark green energy in my body to try to cover the aura. However, after trying, I realized that it was useless. The Ghost's aura was really strange. After the dark green energy covered it, there was no reaction at all. The aura was still as thick as before. There was no change at all.
I gritted my teeth and didn't care about that anymore. I walked to the rattan chair next to the bed and quickly took away Liang Kaixiong's bowl-shaped soul tool along with his clothes. Then, I turned around and cleaned the pile of rubble that I had left when I used the Boss's seal. Afterward, I rushed downstairs and left.
At this moment, the woman I had just knocked unconscious was still at the door. The knocking was still going on outside. I hurried to open the door and saw another woman standing outside. I guessed it was Xiao Qi, the woman who had fainted earlier.
Seeing this woman, I felt a little strange. It seemed that I had seen her somewhere before.
However, in this critical situation, I didn't have time to think about these things. Without saying anything, I directly knocked the woman unconscious. Then, I closed the door and left.
After returning the way I came, I circled to the entrance of the hotel. Sure enough, I saw Wang Yongjun's car. The driver was standing next to the car, looking into the hotel.
I walked from the back and opened the car door. The driver heard the noise and turned around to see me. Without saying anything, he started the car and left the hotel.
Looking at him, it was obvious that Wang Yongjun had told him to come here.
After leaving the hotel for a long time, the driver asked me, "Mr. Zhou, where are we going?"
I hesitated for a moment. Then, I clenched my teeth and said, "First, get on the highway and drive north."
Earlier, I had already packed my things. I had brought all the valuable things with me. We could directly leave Shenzhen.
However, I still didn't know where to go.
With the Ghost Seal on my body, no matter how far I was, the people of the Ghost Raising Sect would find me. Moreover, Liang Kaixiong's father was at the Heavenly Master Realm. If he went crazy, it was hard to say if the Metaphysical Union could protect me.
Especially after what had happened at the Young Phoenix Gathering, it was hard for me to trust the Metaphysical Union.
Moreover, I wasn't a person who was used to putting my safety in the hands of others.
At this moment, facing the pressure of a Heavenly Master, I seemed to have no way out. I could only hope that the Great Elder of the Ghost Raising Sect wouldn't come to find me personally.
I asked the driver to drive as fast as he could and put this matter aside for the time being. Then, I took out Liang Kaixiong's bowl-shaped soul tool. After using my Dao energy to communicate with it, I called out Li Ying's soul.
When the people of the Ghost Raising Sect raised their souls, they would imprint their soul mark on them. However, after Liang Kaixiong's death, his soul mark had completely disappeared. Thus, it didn't take much effort for me to call out Li Ying's soul.
After Li Ying got out of the car, I carefully looked at her for a long time to confirm that she was indeed the daughter of the old principal.
I had heard of the old principal's story. It was impossible for Li Ying to have a twin sister. Thus, this soul was undoubtedly Li Ying.
