Chapter 86 Vicious Methods

It seems this is the only person in the shop. I didn't expect this old man to be such an expert; he even knows how to use a computer.

"I'm the one you were chatting with online who wanted to join the group purchase. I happened to be on a business trip near Xikou, so I came to check it out."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yi stepped out from behind the counter. Unexpectedly, he was limping, and judging from his gait, he was a trained martial artist.

This was Huo Ziyu's first time visiting such an inconspicuous shop. After all, the Huo family's business had penetrated into various industries in the western region. Although they were a family specializing in ancient martial arts, such a large family still needed to make a living.

As the most talented and qualified member of the Huo family, Huo Ziyu carried the hopes of countless people. After the mission failed, he was blamed by the entire Huo family, who even wanted to lock him up.

He really didn't want to stay in that seemingly glamorous but secretly filthy place anymore, and he thought about leaving the Huo family, but he never expected to be beaten half to death.

I'm an orphan, it's time for me to live for myself.

He followed closely behind Gu Yunxi, ready to intervene immediately if anything seemed amiss. However, when he saw the person's appearance, he was relieved to find that she had no cultivation whatsoever, having only practiced a few moves. Furthermore, there was no trace of the Huo family in the shop.

Even if it's gone, the loss probably won't be much!

"Miss, take a look. What style do you like? Actually, all the ropes here are pretty much the same. The only difference is the words engraved on them."

Gu Yunxi randomly pointed to one and said, "Give me one first."

“Young lady, come with me and write your name and date of birth in this notebook.”

Gu Yunxi wrote something casually. The old man took the bracelet into the house and came out again a short while later. She noticed that the bracelet the old man was holding had changed; a gold thread had appeared on it.

There's definitely something wrong with this room.

The old man took out a bead, seemingly engraving something on it, then put it down. "Young lady, the birth date and time you left are not suitable!"

"Yes, of course it's not mine!"

Gu Yunxi understood and stepped forward to grab Huo Yi.

"What are you trying to do? We have security cameras in this store. Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?"

"The surveillance footage is long gone. I'm very curious how such a small shop could harm people, and what secrets this place holds."

Gu Yunxi walked straight in. Huo Yi tried to stop her, but Huo Ziyu blocked his way, and he couldn't move at all.

The room was indeed a hidden world. There was a pool with a pile of red ropes, and strands of gold threads were coiled together and finally converged. At the very top was a red bead.

As for the wall, there was a large piece of red paper hanging on it, with the birth dates of the buyers on the slips of paper, and a golden-black line extending from the paper to the bead.

This is clearly some kind of evil practice. I just don't know who would use such a vicious method, deliberately using an online store to do such harmful things.

"Huo Yi, who made this bead?"

Huo Yi was brought in by Huo Ziyu, who was also taken aback. The decorations inside clearly indicated a harmful scheme.

Someone in the Huo family is practicing evil cultivation? He himself has the highest talent, yet he was kicked out.

So that's how it is. No wonder the patriarch said that even without him, the Huo family would not fall.

That's terrifying!

"I...I don't understand what you're talking about? This is just a renovation stunt. If we didn't do it this way, could a bracelet sell for over a hundred yuan?"

"You're not telling the truth, are you? Then I'll destroy this place and see how you stay in the Huo family."

Huo Ziyu was stunned. This master is amazing. How did she know this was Huo family property? To the naked eye, the interior was just ordinary decoration.

However, a person who cultivates spirituality would definitely be able to discover this problem.

"No, I was just following orders, I really didn't know anything about it."

Huo Yi really didn't know; he was just opening this shop here according to the clan's arrangements, and it had only been open for half a year.

Everything inside was arranged by him from above; he was just a gofer!

Gu Yunxi was too lazy to argue with him, so she simply destroyed the bead.

At this moment, Huo Du in Huojia Mountain coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He wiped his mouth, his spiritual energy scattering everywhere, impossible to catch. Had his cultivation just vanished like that?

He was still wondering who had such great abilities when two figures suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Huo Ziyu, is that you? Who is this woman next to you? Why are you two suddenly here?"

“Patriarch Huo, I am no longer a member of Huo Family Mountain. My master discovered the evil deeds you committed, and the shop has now been burned down.”

"I never imagined that the dignified head of the Huo family would engage in the activities of a heretical cultivator. No wonder he looks down on me; he's found a new backer, huh? It's just a pity his cultivation level isn't very high."

"Ziyu, don't waste your breath on him. I'll cripple him. If it weren't for the fact that murder is against the law, I would definitely kill him."

Gu Yunxi slowly walked forward. Huo Du saw that she was a woman and didn't think she was very capable.

"She's just a woman, nothing special, yet she thinks she's so great."

"You can't tell their cultivation level at all. They've probably joined some third-rate sect. I wonder what tricks they used to completely fool Ziyu..."

"ah!"

He fainted immediately.

Gu Yunxi clapped her hands. "Villains die from talking too much." She glanced at the ring on her index finger.

It can be confirmed that it was stolen by the Huo family's ancestors, and now it can be considered as returning it to its rightful owner!

After all, they weren't from that sect, and even if they bled themselves dry, they couldn't unravel its mysteries.

A complex mix of emotions flashed across Huo Ziyu's eyes. He had brought all of this upon himself. Under this man's leadership, the Huo family was doomed to perish sooner or later.

"Let's go! Now that you're leaving here, I'll take you to Jiangcheng. There's something I need you to do."

Huo Ziyu nodded!

I never expected someone to start disrupting the social order. It seems I need to make some careful plans and go meet that person.

Suddenly, everyone receiving IV drips at the hospital stopped having headaches. Li Ya looked at the bracelet and easily took it off.

Has Gu Yunxi succeeded?

"Everyone, quickly take off this terrifying bracelet! If it weren't for this thing, we might have a headache!"

Several women receiving IV drips looked at her and said, "You can't take it off!"

"Now you can!"

Li Ya looked up and saw Gu Yunxi walking over with another man.

"From now on, when buying things, go to reputable stores. Most importantly, never give your birth date and time to the seller, because they might do something harmful."

Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it had been any later, not only would he have suffered a headache, but he might have even lost his life, and no cause would have been found.

Li Ya quickly stood up, "Thank you, Master Gu!"

Gu Yunxi nodded and walked out with Huo Ziyu.

"Who is that person? Why is she talking so incoherently?"

Li Ya smiled and looked at the group, "She is Master Gu, the popular streamer from the Star Gazing Pavilion on the internet. If it weren't for her intervention tonight, we would have been in real danger."

"Ah... it's her?"
