Chapter 1614 Fellow Daoist, Please Wait 24
Zhao Kang's expression tightened, and he suddenly recalled the strange occurrences of the past few days. He said bluntly, "To be honest, the ghost messengers sensed that someone in Xifeng Village had reached the end of their lifespan, but when they arrived, they found no departed soul."
“I have also checked the Book of Life and Death. According to those time periods, there are indeed several deceased people, but they have all gone to the underworld.”
Song Jinhuan sensed something was amiss. "Brother Zhao, have you personally seen those souls?"
Zhao Kang's expression grew increasingly solemn, realizing that there had been a major oversight, and he said in a deep voice, "No."
He then said with regret, "After thinking it over, I realize it was all my carelessness! The soul of a dead person is in a state of chaos and has no consciousness at all. Without the guidance of ghost messengers, how could it possibly arrive in the underworld unharmed!"
“Taoist Song, I must go to Xifeng Village myself.”
He then said he was about to gather people.
Song Jinhuan quickly followed, "Brother Zhao, I'll come with you and show you the way."
Zhao Kang turned around and met those expectant eyes, hesitating slightly, "Okay."
Zhao Kangyuan's transfer to Pingchang County was actually a promotion.
The area under its jurisdiction is larger than before, and it can summon more ghost messengers.
In his spirit form, Song Jinhuan led Zhao Kang and the others back to Xifeng Village, first arriving at Cai Jin's house.
The old man sitting in the courtyard had indeed reached the end of his life.
Zhao Kang immediately ordered, "Men, go and retrieve the soul."
The ghost messenger, upon receiving the order, passed through the fence, brandishing the soul-locking chain in his hand, attempting to pierce through the body and pull out the soul.
However, to everyone's surprise, the Soul-Locking Chains had no effect whatsoever.
Song Jinhuan was shocked. "How could this be? Even someone whose lifespan hasn't ended can have their soul pulled out using the Soul-Locking Chain!"
Zhao Kang couldn't help but guess: "Perhaps they used a secret method to secretly hinder the ghost messengers' actions."
Song Jinhuan's eyes lit up, "Seven Star Formation!"
Zhao Kang repeated in confusion, "Seven Star Formation?"
"Yes! A Seven Star Formation has been set up inside. Brother Zhao, wait for me, I'll be right back!"
Before Zhao Kang could react, Song Jinhuan had already rushed into the house excitedly.
Bring two fingers together and focus your energy on a candle in the center of the formation.
The candlelight gradually shifted from its original position until it reached the edge of the octagonal table, where it fell to the ground with a "thud".
The elderly man outside was hard of hearing. He tilted his head back towards the house for a while, thinking he had misheard, and then continued to bask in the sun.
Six lamps were still lit on the table; the formation had been broken.
She raised her hand and extinguished the burning candle with a gust of wind.
Suddenly, the enshrined Qingyun Daxian was torn to pieces.
Song Jinhuan left the room. "Brother Ghost Messenger, try again!"
Without saying a word, the ghost messenger put the soul-locking chain on the old man.
The chain jingles, jingle, it's done!
A soul, different from the physical body, was locked outside the body.
What is unclear now?
These are indeed the people who went to the underworld, but their bodies have been possessed by some wandering ghost!
Zhao Kang was furious. "Outrageous! Someone in the mortal realm is actually causing trouble in such an important matter! What about the underworld?!"
“Brother Zhao, the mortal realm has been quite turbulent in recent years, with demons causing chaos everywhere. This matter is inextricably linked to demons, and I hope we can cooperate more in the future,” Song Jinhuan said, seizing the opportunity.
Unable to contain his anger, Zhao Kang said in a firm voice, "Of course!"
"I also have to thank Taoist Song for this."
This kind of thing will be discovered sooner or later.
But if it weren't for Taoist Song today, by the time he actually discovered it, it would probably be too late.
At the same time, Song Yuande, along with Ma Liangcheng and Yang Xiuying, stormed into the residence of Qingyun Daxian.
During the struggle, Qingyun Daxian suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
