After pondering for a long time, I came up with two solutions.
One was to wait for Xiao Jin's transformation to come here and kill the people of the Han family. Xiao Jin was so strong that even the Heavenly Masters of the Han family wouldn't be his match. Once the Heavenly Masters died, the Han family would have to consider the consequences if they wanted to obtain the True Dragon Vein.
However, Xiao Jin's condition wasn't stable. He could only transform for two hours. If he was delayed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, even if everything went smoothly, Xiao Jin would be exposed to the Metaphysics Society. Who knew what kind of trouble it would bring? After pondering for a while, I eliminated this solution.
The second solution was to take drastic measures. The Han family and the Metaphysics Society were here for the True Dragon Vein. I had the jade bracelet, so I had to go all out and absorb the True Dragon Vein. Of course, the Han family would have to retreat.
However, this was a self-destructive method. If I took the True Dragon Vein, everything here would be destroyed. The True Dragon Vein would never take shape. It was completely different from my original plan.
Slowly, Grandmaster Zhang Kanwen's ashes were collected. My agitated mind also calmed down. I sighed and reluctantly chose to give up.
Zhang Kanwen was stronger than me, and this was the ancestral land of his sect. If he chose to give up, why should I do it?
Going against the Han family and the entire Metaphysics Society was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
The inside of the stone cave was isolated from the outside world. Grandmaster Zhang Kanwen's ashes were not damaged, but the erosion of time was enough to wear away more than half of them. In the end, the ashes that Zhang Kanwen collected added up to more than half of the urn that originally contained Old Master Zhao's ashes.
After that, we returned to the topic of the well ghost. Han Wennan was worried about the well ghost's whereabouts and the possible consequences. He asked Zhang Kanwen, "Brother Zhang, what method did you use?
If the well ghost's body disappeared, does it mean that it's already dead? "
Hearing his question, I didn't care. I just felt that he was too cautious. Perhaps, he was too concerned about the Han family's benefits. The white light had swallowed the well ghost's body. What else could it be other than dead?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Kanwen shook his head. "It's just a method my sect left to deal with the evil spirit. It's very troublesome. It won't be that easy to get rid of it."
Han Wennan and I were bewildered. Han Wennan asked, "What should we do now? Will the evil spirit come back?"
Zhang Kanwen shook his head. "It won, but it won't be that easy to get rid of. But you don't have to worry. This has nothing to do with the Han family. I will complete my sect's instructions."
His words were laced with sarcasm. Han Wennan's face immediately turned ashamed when he heard it. He was silent for a while before he said embarrassedly, "Brother Zhang, this matter concerns the interests of my Han Family. If there's anything the Han Family can help with, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll agree to it on behalf of my Han Family."
Zhang Kanwen shook his head again. "There's no need for that. I just hope that the Han Clan doesn't destroy the true dragon ley line …. This is the node of the southern dragon ley line, and the dragon qi is related to the destiny of the entire southern dragon. The Han Clan shouldn't be the sinner of your people!"
After saying that, he looked at Han Wennan with a burning gaze.
Han Wennan also looked up at him and nodded solemnly. He said solemnly, "The Han Family will naturally pay attention to this matter. Although the Han Family has lived in the Qinling Mountains for generations, with this true dragon vein, we will definitely expand to the south in the future.
We, the northerners, are very particular about the feelings of our neighbors. Not to mention the fate of our nation, just for the sake of our neighbors, the Han Family will not do something like draining the pond to catch the fish. You don't have to worry about that! "
With his assurance, Zhang Kanwen nodded and was obviously relieved.
He was an unyielding man. For the sake of the Wen Shan bloodline's inheritance, he was willing to endure the humiliation of the Han Clan seizing the ancestral land. However, if the Han Clan did not express their stance, for the sake of the Southern Dragon's destiny, he would have no other choice but to fight to the death.
I also heaved a sigh of relief. On one hand, it was because of Zhang Kanwen, and on the other hand, it was because of the True Dragon Vein.
Since the Han Clan had promised to protect the True Dragon Vein, it would only take a few years to delay the formation of the True Dragon Vein. Since a thousand years had passed, a few more years wouldn't make much of a difference.
After a few years, when my power reached the Heavenly Master Realm, or when the seal in Little Gold's body was completely broken, I would have the power to resist the Han Clan and the Metaphysics Association. Then, I would return to this place and force the Han Clan to hand over the True Dragon Vein.
As a person who cultivated witchcraft energy, I would not help to transform the Tai Sui's corpse into the True Dragon Vein. However, I would allow it to develop and give Minister Wen's dream from a thousand years ago a chance to come true.
Of course, the premise was that my cultivation path was smooth. If I accidentally fell into the hands of the Metaphysics Association or the Buddhist and Taoist Association, my life would be in danger. Naturally, I would not think about these useless things.
After we came to a conclusion, I looked at the time. According to Han Wennan, the Han Clan's troops would arrive around evening. It was obvious that Zhang Kanwen and I couldn't stay here any longer.
We bid farewell and left the orchard. After leaving the orchard, I invited Zhang Kanwen to go with me to my shop. We wanted to talk about what had happened recently.
Zhang Kanwen and I had a special relationship. Even if it was a secret base like the Metaphysics Association, I didn't worry about him.
I guessed Zhang Kanwen had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask me. He nodded and went with me.
Zhang Kanwen was a bearded man. After the great change of his sect, he didn't take care of his appearance. He looked dispirited and dispirited. Moreover, he had an extraordinary cultivation base, which gave him an intimidating aura. When we returned to the shop, Xie Chenghua was startled. He stood there and didn't dare to say anything. He kept winking at me, trying to signal me with his eyes.
I couldn't help but smile. I guessed Yan Nantian and Chen Yangting's visit had left a shadow in Xie Chenghua's heart. He was very sensitive now.
I smiled and introduced Zhang Kanwen to Xie Chenghua. After listening to me, Xie Chenghua was surprised. He stepped forward and started to talk to me.
After asking, I learned that Xie Chenghua had seen Zhang Kanwen before. However, he didn't recognize him because of his untidy appearance.
After establishing a good relationship, we sat down and chatted with Xie Chenghua for a long time. However, since Xie Chenghua was the President of the Metaphysics Association's branch, he had good eyes. He urged us to go upstairs and said that he needed to take care of the shop's business.
When we reached my room, Zhang Kanwen's smile froze. He was surprised to see Xiao Jin, Tong Tong, and the ghoul in the room. He didn't say anything for a long time, and his face became more solemn.
Although these three little fellows were quite strong, they had little contact with outsiders. At this moment, when they saw an outsider, their chatter instantly disappeared. Their gazes were filled with shyness and curiosity as they looked at Zhang Kanwen.
After a while, Zhang Kanwen came back to his senses. He turned to me and asked in surprise, "These … Did you raise them?"
I frowned as I didn't like the word 'raise'. However, in the Metaphysics world, ghouls and zombies were usually raised by cultivators for their own use. Moreover, they usually had to use forceful methods. It was more appropriate to say that they were raised. However, it was rare to see a ghoul like me.
I nodded and smiled. "That's right. These kids are like my younger brothers and sisters. I usually bring them with me."
Zhang Kanwen looked at them a few more times. His face was still surprised and solemn. He asked me with uncertainty, "If I'm not wrong, that girl's ghost should be a child, right?"
I smiled and nodded.
It was one thing to be suspicious, but it was another to get confirmation. Zhang Kanwen's surprise became more obvious. After a long silence, he asked, "Is that little zombie the legendary ghoul?"
I still nodded with a smile.
Zhang Kanwen's expression was like an ordinary person who had seen a ghost, but he didn't stop asking. After staring at Xiao Jin for a long time, he suddenly smiled bitterly. "Zhou Yi, don't tell me that this golden baby is the true form of the tai sui …"
I grinned and sat down next to Xiao Jin. I smiled and rubbed his hair. Then, I answered Zhang Kanwen, "But Xiao Jin is indeed the true form of the tai sui."
