Qi Jing stared at the brocade bag for a few seconds, tugged at Gu Zhou's sleeve and said, "The souls of the Xuanmen disciples are all inside. As long as the body is still there, it can be stuffed back in."
Gu Zhou frowned, "This is not a question of whether to save him or not. He has already failed to change his fate once and is completely exposed to the heavens. Do you really want to use Huo Yuanqi's body to save him?"
"It's not necessary to take Huo Yuanqi's body." Qi Jing muttered softly, tearing off the main talisman on his chest and stuffing it into Gu Zhou's pocket, "Take them out first, I'll talk to him."
Gu Zhou frowned and looked at the evil ghost. He was worried about leaving Qi Jing here.
Qi Jing pushed him and said, "Don't worry about it. He can't beat me."
"I'm afraid you will be fooled by him!" Gu Zhou answered truthfully. With Qi Jing's brain, how could he not be worried.
Qi Jing's face instantly fell, "You think I'm stupid again, don't you?!"
"No! You're innocent."
Qi Jing looked at Gu Zhou speechlessly and tried to refuse again, but heard the evil ghost say, "There is still some time at midnight. You can take the person out first and come back later. I'm not in a hurry."
Gu Zhou didn't hesitate and grabbed the man and was about to leave. The next second, the evil ghost's black energy penetrated into the man's body and forcibly pulled out the soul that did not belong to this body.
The man begged for mercy but was instantly devoured by the evil spirit.
Gu Zhou looked at the evil ghost with suspicion. This accomplice killed so quickly and cruelly.
The evil ghost raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to save him, I will know everything he knows, even if he doesn't know. I will tell you everything I know."
Gu Zhou didn't want to delve into this, so he bent down, carried Huo Yan's body, and left with Qi Jing. Xie Shaoyun could only follow behind in embarrassment.
Returning to the original position, Gu Zhou placed Huo Yan's body on the ground and used talisman paper to guide Huo Yan's soul into his body quickly.
He glanced at Xie Shaoyun, and before he could say anything, Xie Shaoyun knelt down first, "Disciple Xie Shaoyun failed to protect the master, please punish me, ancestor."
As Xie Shaoyun's voice sounded, the other disciples of Xuanmen also knelt down and paid homage to Gu Zhou, the ancestor of Xuanmen.
Gu Zhou didn't want to talk. Although he had Gu Xuanyi's memories, he was still Gu Zhou in his bones. He was so heartbroken that a young man like him suddenly became an old hand.
Gu Zhou sighed, "Let's talk about it later, there are still important things to deal with!"
"Ancestor, that evil ghost must not be trusted." Xie Shaoyun reminded him. He had seen clearly in the Xuanmen over the years that the evil ghost was not simple at all.
Gu Zhou spread his hands, "There's nothing we can do. You heard it too. So many souls are in his hands, and he even released the puppets. Now there's only an hour left until twelve o'clock. Even if we can calculate the location of the puppets now, can you guarantee that the Xuanmen disciples can arrive and deal with them within an hour?"
Xie Shaoyun was speechless, but still refused to accept it. "Am I really going to be threatened?!"
Gu Zhou didn't want to talk and pulled Qi Jing back. It was not a question of whether to save or not, but whether to save one person or let more people die!
Standing at the courtyard gate again, Gu Zhou looked at Qi Jing, "Can you save him?"
Qi Jing nodded and said that it was possible even though it was a bit troublesome.
"You tell me how to do it, and I'll do it."
"You can't!" Qi Jing gave an affirmative answer. Although Gu Zhou is very powerful now, it is not so easy to change his fate, and there is not enough time to prepare.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips and asked, "What price will you pay to change his fate? Can you let the evil ghost bear it himself?"
Qi Jing patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I have seven dragons."
Gu Zhou was still worried, so he asked Qi Jing, "Are you really unable to control that evil ghost?"
"It's not that there is no way, but he looks so familiar to me that I don't want to beat him up." Qi Jing frowned, "Besides, that person's fate is a bit special, and he seems to have my aura."
Gu Zhou was slightly stunned. "So that ghost might really know you?"
"I don't know either, but I think I should save him. As for what happened, I can ask the ghost after I save him."
Qi Jing was optimistic and pushed Gu Zhou, who still wanted to speak, into the yard.
The evil ghost was not surprised to see them come back, and he took the initiative to move aside, as if he was not worried that Qi Jing would use the boy to threaten him in return.
Qi Jing sat cross-legged in front of the young man, opened his palm to reveal a fat white insect, pulled up the young man's hand and patted it, then made a simple gesture to drive the insect to circle around the young man's body, treating what needed treatment and replenishing what needed nourishment.
Fifteen minutes passed like this. Qi Jing withdrew his hand and patted the boy's face. The boy's face had regained some rosy complexion.
"I can guarantee that he will live to be a hundred years old, healthy and fit. Can you give me your soul?"
The evil ghost readily threw the brocade bag to Gu Zhou, floated to the side of the young man and checked it carefully, and his tense expression completely relaxed.
Gu Zhou opened the brocade bag and took a look. It was indeed the soul of a Xuanmen disciple, as well as a mother and son.
Gu Zhou frowned, "What about those puppets? Can we take them back?"
The evil ghost turned around upon hearing the sound and showed a look of disgust towards Gu Zhou, "Where did this puppet come from? It's just to scare you!"
Gu Zhou gritted his teeth and pulled out a half-broken knife from his pocket. "Just say it again, will you?"
The evil ghost didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "The sect leader's youngest son is in the Qucheng Orphanage. Go find him yourself."
Gu Zhou was a little surprised. He thought that both of Huo Yan’s children were dead, but there was actually one alive?
If that was the case, Huo Yan at least had a little comfort.
Suddenly, Gu Zhou looked at the evil ghost with a complicated look. The souls of the Xuanmen disciples were all there, including Huo Yan's wife and eldest son, and the youngest son was also still alive, so what was going on?
Before Gu Zhou could ask, the evil ghost continued, "Xiao Qi needs to rest. I will go back with you. There are some things I think you don't want to talk about here."
The evil ghost kept his eyes on Qi Jing while speaking, and the deep meaning was very obvious.
Gu Zhou pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, but still took out a blank piece of talisman paper.
The evil ghost said nothing more, and turned into a wisp of black mist and drilled into the talisman paper.
After putting away the talisman paper, Gu Zhou picked up the still unconscious boy and Qi Jing and left the courtyard.
The Xuanmen disciples were already waiting outside. Gu Zhou handed the boy to Huo Yuanqi, handed the brocade bag to Huo Yan, and told Huo Yan the relatively good news.
When Huo Yan saw the souls of his wife and children, his eyes turned red and he burst into tears. He felt comforted when he learned that his youngest son was still alive.
Gu Zhou left some talismans for them to send their souls back into their bodies. He took out the main talisman again and told Qi Jun that he had to activate the teleportation array to send them back.
Huo Yuanqi carried the young man back to the Qi family. Almost the moment they appeared, a group of people from the Qi family surrounded them.
They all saw it through the main symbol, but it suddenly broke at the back. They didn't know what happened afterwards. Now seeing several people coming back intact, they couldn't help but ask questions.
