At this moment, the Yinshan Ghost King approached Fang Zong and said, "Perhaps he is the vengeful spirit?"
Fang Zong shook his head, indicating his disagreement. It was only a "maybe," and killing was worse than not killing. If they killed the wrong person, the entire storyline of the Orphan of Zhao would be thrown into disarray, making it even harder to find the vengeful spirit.
He and the Yinshan Ghost King left directly. Cheng Ying stared at his back, shook his head, and continued reciting medical texts.
Not long after, Cheng Ying entered the inner hall, but Fang Zong and the Yinshan Ghost King suddenly appeared, their eyes revealing pure blue and eerie green flames, seeing through the door.
