Chapitre 32

"You even managed to send all the spirits I was controlling to the afterlife. You're really something else."

The voice of "it" sounded behind Xu Xian. Xu Xian quickly turned his head.

It was still using Wu Xi's body, with Liu Bin beside it. And lying at its feet was a person...

The person in question was none other than Liu Quan.

"Liu Quan?! What did you do to Liu Quan?" Xu Xian looked at Liu Quan, worried about his safety.

"He's alright, he just fainted from fright. I can't believe someone like you has such a useless friend." "It" mocked.

Speaking of which...

"You're not allowed to say that!" Xu Xian said angrily. But then he thought, perhaps "it" was trying to provoke him, so...

At this moment, calmness is even more crucial. So, suppressing all my emotions, I looked directly at "it" and asked:

"Weren't you going to tell me all the answers I wanted to know?"

Reply [42]: "Hehe~~~, since you've come all this way, I'll tell you. What do you want to know? Ask away."

"I asked? You'll answer if I ask? What are the conditions?"

"A condition? Of course, you have to solve a riddle for me."

"What riddle?"

You'll find out then.

"Okay, then I'll ask." Xu Xian looked at the face in front of him, which seemed familiar yet strange, pondering what had been nagging at him.

A complex and intertwined mystery.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Xian and "it" began a somewhat strange and dramatic question-and-answer session.

"Why didn't you kill me immediately?" Xu Xian asked. Actually, he really wanted to ask who it was. But he realized it hadn't killed him right away.

It's somewhat laughable that he would even answer his questions after you dumped him. What he initially imagined should have been a...

It should have been a life-or-death battle, but now everything has changed. Why doesn't "it" kill him? With "its" power, it could easily kill him.

It was a very easy thing for him. Before asking any other questions, the question he most wanted to understand was this one.

"Hehe, you didn't even ask who I was first? Looks like you are indeed a bit different. Alright, I'll tell you, because those who are supposed to go have already..."

I've gone, but what's meant to come hasn't arrived yet. I've been waiting for someone alive to stand before me and answer my questions.

"It's been a hundred years," it said in a voice that was both excited and heavy.

"Should I go? Should I come?" Xu Xian was a little confused.

"Do you know why I kill some people every twenty years?"

"Why?"

"Because they are that person's reincarnation. They deserve to die."

"That person? You mean the eldest young master of the Peng family?"

"Who else could it be?"

"But didn't you already take your revenge a hundred years ago? Why bring your hatred into his reincarnation?"

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Really? After all that, you don't even want to ask who I am?"

"You say you're not Miss Peng, but only Miss Peng would hate the person who killed her so deeply. Could it be that you are... ah..."

"You are actually..." Xu Xian realized then that the person they had ruled out from the beginning was actually the most likely candidate.

"Yes, I am Lu Shaohuai. Surprised?" "It"—Lu Shaohuai should now wear a very regretful expression.

Affection.

"How do you know these long-lost black magic spells?" Xu Xian's thoughts became sharper during the back-and-forth conversation.

It was swift and precise. He suddenly remembered that the Soul Separation Technique, the Soul Capture Technique, and the Soul Control Technique in the waterway were all forms of black magic.

However, it has been lost for a long time. How did Lu Shaohuai learn it?

"Do you know why Madam Peng is so fond of Xinrui, who isn't her biological daughter and is mute? Oh, you mean the Peng you're talking about?"

"Is Miss that nice?" Lu Shaohuai replied, seemingly unrelated to the question.

"Could it be that they were controlled by a soul-capturing spell? That's impossible. Did the Peng family have anyone who knew how to use soul-capturing spells back then?" Xu Xian was somewhat suspicious.

That's incredible.

"Can't you guess it yet? Then it seems you're not the best person to answer my question. If that's the case..."

"If that's the case, you and your friends probably won't be able to get back up there alive." Lu Shaohuai's tone suddenly turned ferocious.

Xu Xian knew that if they couldn't figure out the answer to this question, they probably wouldn't make it back alive. Suddenly, he thought...

So, the only person who could protect Ms. Peng like this is her biological mother. Could it be her?

---Magpie Bridge Fairy

Reply [43]: "Of course I guessed it. The one who could do this must be Miss Peng's biological mother. She must have known that she was about to die, so..."

He used all his strength in his last moments before dying to unleash the Soul-Seizing Technique, just so that his daughter would not be mistreated.

"I suppose so," Xu Xian guessed.

"You are very clever. Her mother was a holy woman from a Miao village in Yunnan. Because of the war, the entire village either died or fled."

She too had left her hometown and wandered to this place. Later, she was rescued by Master Peng, and to repay his kindness, she married him.

She was young, but as a saintess, she was forbidden to marry, or she would suffer retribution. Therefore, she knew she was doomed.

How long has it been? So he transferred all his spiritual power through the mother's body to the fetus, and then, on his deathbed, used a soul-capturing technique to control Madam Peng.

However, because the mother's spiritual energy was too strong, the fetus could not withstand such a powerful spiritual impact, so Xinrui died immediately after birth.

It means losing the right to speak.

"So how did you learn it?"
