Everyone had returned back to the Ma clan. Si Yu went back to the rented house and Yang Zhai went back to his house. On the other hand, the third elder was investigating the man caught by elder Yu Ene. "Tell me already, and you can be free from the torture." The third elder was torturing the man to reveal the reason for attacking them. He was hoping that the man would say the name of the Ma clan. "I told…you already. Someone from the Bai clan hired me. That man hid his face. Also, my target was Feng Qi, not someone else." The man was being tortured by the third elder again and again. The third elder would heal the man and torture him again."If Feng Qi was targeted, then what's the reason? Tell me, or, you will not die easily.""I, I don't don't…know the…reason. I was just hired and that's all. Otherwise, why would I… value the life of someone…over myself?"He is not saying anything else besides this, there can only be two reasons: first, he is telling the truth and second is that
Ci An jumped at Yang Zhai with a poisoned knife from a very close distance. From this distance, it was impossible for Yang Zhai to dodge. He hurriedly moved his right arm forward. While his right arm was moving forward to defend, his hands were also turning brown. He had also activated the Wooden-Fists Ka. To him, defending himself came first right now. His right hand had barely arrived in front of himself when the poisoned knife landed on his right hand. The Wooden Fists Ka was still activating, but it was not completely activated when the knife landed on his right hand. Yang Zhai felt pain. However, this was not what worried him, but that he felt a sensation come into his right hand. "Poison," Yang Zhai's eyes narrowed. "This is bad." He hurriedly kicked Ci An away from himself and jumped back. He did not know what kind of poison it was, but he could feel that the sensation was slowly traveling from his hand toward his arm. "You are done for, this poison will kill you,
"Who are you?" Yang Zhai asked the three people. Even though he knew them, he couldn't tell them this, after all, it was their first meeting in this life."I am the seventh elder Jil Lu and the one to my right is the eighth elder Nain Kii. The one healing you has just become an elder a few weeks ago, Eun Woo. We were passing by when we saw her attacking you. She deserves death for betrayal." The man was the seventh elder of the Bai clan, Jil Lu.Yeah, just passing by."Oh, greetings elders." Yang Zhai greeted them respectfully."Hmm, if there's nothing else, I will be going then." Jil Lu wanted to turn around and leave when he heard Yang Zhai."Elder, if you allow me, can I ask who killed Ci An?"
Yang Zhai opened and knocked on the gate of his house. He waited for a while, after which the door was opened by his aunt Wei."Oh, it's you, Yang Zhai, how great. Tell me, how are you?" Aunt Wei greeted Yang Zhai with an excited expression."Aunt Wei, how are you? I really missed you and uncle." Yang Zhai turned to his original innocent look again.He acted innocent like a kid in front of his aunt and uncle because they had seen him grow and knew his personality that was possessed by the original owner of this body. After that, he could not change his personality all of a sudden in front of them.Hyun Hae and Lie Yi were kids, so they did not suspect anything. Therefore, he acted strictly with them. But, his aunt and uncle were not kids, they would have immediately suspected if he had acted aloof and high all of a sudden. In this way, he was just an innocent kid in front of his aunt and uncle."Who is it?" Uncle Wei's voice came from inside the house."Wait a minute?" Aunt Wei replie
Night Owl, known to have the ability to see beyond skies, below the earth, into the depths of the abyss and the oceans. However, they were all myths and legends. It was said that to possess these qualities, Night Owl had to evolve into its highest forms. These legends were not known by many. Yang Zhai knew this because he had spent many years traveling the world. If the shopkeeper knew about this, then, she wouldn't be selling the Night Owl for only one hundred and fifty mid-grade essence stones. Of course, the price was this high because the Night Owl was not found on Si mountain or in its surroundings. But, if she knew about these legends, then the price would have been even higher. The shopkeeper brought the Night Owl with her and placed it on the counter. It was totally black. Its eyes were yellow with red lines at the end of its irises. It looked at Yang Zhai silently and did not look away, it was as if it was trying to look through Yang Zhai. It had red stripes at the end of
Elder Cu Gil entered the room and sat on one side of the floor table. "Why are you here?" Elder Cu Gil looked at Eun Woo first before asking Yang Zhai. "Elder, I want to talk about Ci An." Yang Zhai looked gloomy. There were no greetings between them. What could they ask each other anyway? Could Yang Zhai ask Cu Gil if he was doing fine? Or would elder Cu Gil inquire about Yang Zhai's health, the one his daughter hated the most? Greetings were considered a symbol of good intentions or were made because of some kind of relationship. But did any of them want to make any relationships with each other? "Elder Cu, greetings, I am Eun Woo, I just became an elder. I hope I could help you share your grief, but I know it's not possible, as the pain of losing the one closest to you is really more than anyone else could empathize with.” However, Eun Woo was not like Yang Zhai. She was an elder and greeted Cu Gil like a normal person does. "Hmm, I know you and what do you want to talk
"Yang Zhai, tell me, have you ever met elder Jil Lu before last night?" Eun Woo asked Yang Zhai.Both of them were standing outside elder Cu Gil's residence."No, why?" Yang Zhai said and thought: So, she is already suspecting me."I thought you hated elder Jil Lu. Forget it, what happened happened, and nothing can be done now. Let's go back to your house." Eun Woo shook her head.It is true that elder Cu Gil's daughter was killed by elder Jil Lu. So, even if Yang Zhai mistakenly or deliberately revealed everything, he didn't lie. And I was also not happy with lying to elder Cu Gil about her daughter to begin with. In a way, a father knows the real reason for his daughter's death: Eun Woo shook her head and thought. It was already night and elder Eun Woo had already left. Yang Zhai came to his room after eating his dinner. He looked at the Night Owl that was sleeping in one of the corners of Yang Zhai's room.He went and grabbed the night owl from its beak. Then he first tied a cloth around the Night owl to keep it quiet. He made sure that the Night Owl could breathe. After that, he began to reduce its willpower and strength by injuring it to the limits. He first broke its nails and claws, not cut them though. Then he broke its legs. After that, he began to put needles in the riots of its wings. Its grunts could be heard, but they were not loud enough to cross the limits of this room.He would always put one drop of the Red Poison on its bleeding wounds to stop its excessive bleeding. He then placed it in the door. After injuring the Night Owl to its limits, he pulled out the stones and began the absorption process. As always, he opened his black vortex by absorbing the spiritual energy fromA Man's Insanity:A Changing World Chapter 171:Clear Vision
