Gongsun Di's heart was already filled with shock before the second shock came. The evil ghost Song Wang who manipulated the corpses to kill his father and brother was actually this guy? ! If he was killed, the tide of corpses wreaking havoc in Black Wind City would naturally subside!
Song Wang raised his fist, and a stream of black energy rushed towards the heart of his eldest grandson, Zijun. He asked in a fierce voice, "Who are you?"
"You are really Song Wang." The eldest grandson Jun opened his body-protecting sword energy and easily blocked Song Wang's attack. "Song Huaide brought Song Yuan to the ghost world."
"That old beast!!" Hearing Song Huaide's name, Song Wang's face suddenly turned ferocious. He was already a ghost cultivator, and the flesh and blood on his body was dead flesh. He got angry, and his eyes bulged out, his bloody mouth opened wide, and his face was twisted, which was extremely terrifying.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "They are looking for you."
Song Wang suddenly stopped attacking and took a step back. His face was filled with shock and fear: "No... No! I don't want to see them! Let him die!!"
The eldest grandson Jun frowned: "Are you afraid of him? Song Huaide or Song Yuan?" The difference in power did not frighten Song Wang. He continued to attack the two ghost cultivators guarding the Thunder Fruit, and also continued to attack the eldest grandson Jun, trying to snatch the Thunder Fruit. But when he heard the names of his father and brother, he got scared and stopped.
He had not lost his fear.
Gongsun Di finally released the state of the stone body. He took two steps back cautiously, maintaining a position that allowed him to attack or defend. He pointed his sword at his eldest grandson, Zijun, and Song Wang, and said to Song Wang, "Stop driving those evil spirits and ghosts!"
The eldest grandson Zijun said helplessly: "Senior Brother Gongsun, don't you understand yet?"
"What?"
The eldest grandson said, "It's not him. He doesn't have the ability." From the first moment he saw Song Wang, he knew that the mastermind behind the group of zombies in Black Wind City was not Song Wang at all. It was a simple truth. Song Wang didn't have the ability to do that. He was certainly stronger than the little ghost who had lost his mind and kept harassing them before, but his strength was limited. With the little ghost energy in him, it was impossible for him to control so many zombies.
Gongsun Di was stunned. He was not stupid, he just came out of the state of metal and stone, so he only believed what he saw and heard. But when he calmed down a little, he realized that Song Wang was still a long way from being a fierce ghost.
Gongsun Di's face turned slightly pale: "Song Huaide is lying!" He had long felt that Song Huaide was a very suspicious person, and he was clearly hiding something, but he had no evidence and still couldn't figure out why Song Huaide lied.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, sneered: "It is not certain whether the corpse manipulator lied or not. But he must have lied somewhere else."
Gongsun Di was puzzled. Now that they had found Song Wang, it was clear that the murderer was not controlled by Song Wang. How could Song Huaide not have lied about this? However, he thought again and suddenly understood what Zhangsun Zijun meant: Song Huaide might not have lied about this, because he might really think that Song Wang was the mastermind behind this. If he really didn't know the truth, then he might not have lied about this.
After figuring this out, Gongsun Di gasped: "So the real culprit is... Damn! Senior Brother Lu and the others are in danger!"
"Let's go!" The eldest grandson Zijun picked up Song Wang and ran towards the teleportation array.
Gongsun Di hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to follow him.
Song Wang struggled and yelled, "Let me go!" Then he roared, "Kill him! Kill him!"
His kicks and punches were no match for the eldest grandson, Zijun. Without having to carry a golden statue, he ran very fast. He whispered to Song Wang, "Don't you want to see Song Yuan?"
Song Wang was stunned. After a moment, his eyes gradually turned blood red. He cried, "I'm so scared... I'm scared of him..."
Sad and fearful.
The eldest grandson, Zijun, didn't know what qualities he had lost, nor did he know what had happened to the Song family. But what surprised him a little was that the person Song Wang was afraid of was not Song Huaide, but his younger brother, Song Yuan. He was afraid, but still wanted to see him. So Song Wang gradually stopped fighting.
The eldest grandson, Jun, jumped into a teleportation array, followed closely by Gongsun Di.
They left the area where the Thunder Fruit was and came to an ancient tomb forest.
Gongsun Di said anxiously, "Changsun Zijun, let's talk about everything else later. We are all brothers after all, so save Senior Brother Lu and the others first!"
"Nonsense!"
"Then take me to find them!"
“Looking.”
"Where are they? Aren't you the young master of the ghost world?"
The eldest grandson, Zijun, was too lazy to even roll his eyes. He didn't care whether Gongsun Di wanted to follow him or not. Anyway, this guy could turn gold and stone, so he wouldn't be in danger for a while. At most, he would get lost in this ghost world, so let him be!
The eldest grandson, Zijun, could sense that Yi Xichen was not far away from him.
Lu Ziyao, Yi Xichen and his group traveled through the ghost forest. Lu Ziyao held Song Yuan in his arms all the time, patting his back gently and soothing him tenderly. He said, "Xiaoyuan, we will find your brother. Do you miss him a lot?"
Song Yuan didn't react.
Lu Ziyao sighed with mixed emotions and said softly, "How could this happen... It would be fine if there was still a little bit of residue... You are still so young, and you still have a long life ahead of you..."
He suddenly felt very sad and stopped while hugging Song Yuan.
"Junior Brother Yi, Junior Brother Xiao," he asked blankly, "Where on earth did the souls that were exchanged by the ghost contract go... Is it really impossible to find them again?"
Yi Xichen didn't know either and couldn't answer.
Xiao Kui sneered, "It's already been exchanged, how can it be exchanged back? Senior Brother Lu, you are so kind and selfless. If you want to save him, why don't you give him your soul?"
Lu Ziyao was stunned.
"Xiao Kui!" Yi Xichen shouted sharply.
Xiao Kui curled his lips and said nothing.
Yi Xichen hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "Brother Lu, don't listen to his nonsense. You can still save many people." He was also worried that Lu Ziyao, with such a good temper, would really do something stupid like cutting his own flesh to feed others. It is true that Lu Ziyao has a kind heart, but if he really sacrifices himself, it would be a loss. With his cultivation and character, even if he can't save one Song Yuan today, he can still save a hundred Li Yuans and a thousand Wang Yuans in the future. Helping others should never be a stupid thing.
Lu Ziyao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't."
Xiao Kui said awkwardly, "Alright, alright, I was just talking nonsense. Souls are not clothes that can be changed whenever you want. You can't help him, so don't always take it upon yourself. I really don't understand what you are thinking!"
Yi Xichen said coldly: "Do other people understand you?"
Xiao Kui was stunned by what he said and did not fight back.
The group continued to travel through the ghost forest. There were not many ghosts in this area, and sometimes a few would attack them, but it was much better than the previous siege, and the group was able to handle it easily.
Xiao Kui became increasingly impatient and asked Song Huaide, "You said your son liked trees, but you haven't found which tree he is buried under yet?"
Song Huaide asked cautiously, "Are there no living trees in the ghost world?"
"Huh?" Xiao Kui said, "Everyone here is dead, and you still want a living tree?"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and stared at Song Huaide suspiciously.
Yi Xichen also thought of it and looked at Song Huaide thoughtfully.
They continued walking forward, and after a while, they suddenly saw a little girl sitting on the branch of a big tree in front of them, with her legs dangling and a string of candied haws in her hand, looking very happy. When she saw them, she shook her head and said in surprise, "Wow, there are so many people. You are so pretty."
The little ghost girl jumped down from the tree branch and came to Song Yuan. She was about the same age as Song Yuan and was obviously willing to be close to him. She happily handed him the candied haws in her hand and said, "Little brother, I'll treat you to some candied haws."
However, when everyone looked closely, they found that what she held in her hand was not a candied haws, but a dead body bone with several mud balls strung on it!
However, the little ghost girl didn't mean to be malicious, she was just a ghost now, so naturally she didn't need to eat the candied haws, but she liked the candied haws very much when she was alive, so she still remembered it after her death. She really had good intentions to share her treasure with Song Yuan.
Song Yuan took the string of mud balls and said curiously, "So this is candied haws. I've never seen it before."
Several elders looked at each other in bewilderment. When cultivators reach a certain level of cultivation, they start fasting, but they all have some favorite snacks when they were young. It was unexpected that Song Yuan not only had never eaten candied haws, but had never even seen one.
Lu Ziyao touched the little ghost girl's cold hair and said softly, "Thank you. We are leaving now. Goodbye."
The flesh and blood on the little ghost girl's palm suddenly disappeared and turned into a bone hand, which suddenly reached towards Song Huaide's heart!
Song Huaide saw that the little ghost girl was very friendly at first, but he didn't expect her to suddenly change her attitude. He was completely unprepared, and the little bone hand instantly poked his wound that had just healed! However, the bone hand stopped before it could scratch Song Huaide's flesh - Lu Ziyao suddenly grabbed the little hand.
The little ghost girl shook her head in fear: "No! No! I don't want to kill anyone, don't let me do this!" Obviously, her sudden attack was also instigated by someone else.
Song Huaide retreated in panic, hid beside Yi Xichen, drew his sword and pointed it at the little female ghost.
Lu Ziyao pushed the little ghost girl away. He slowly turned around and looked at Song Yuan with a complicated look in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Song Yuan, that's enough."
Song Yuan raised his head and looked at him innocently, as if he had no idea what was going on.
"Stop manipulating those evil spirits and ghosts." Lu Ziyao said word by word, "Enough!"
From Black Wind City to the Ghost Realm, the person who had been driving the zombies and ghosts to attack them was not Song Wang, but Song Yuan. At that time, the father and son of the Song family were on the roof, and Song Yuan was indeed pushing the zombies. It seemed that he was fighting with the zombies, but it was just playing. He did not mean to stop the zombies from attacking Song Huaide, and they were even his drivers. So the zombies bypassed him and attacked Song Huaide's back, and he turned a blind eye to those things.
At that time, Lu Ziyao and his friends rushed to the yard and rescued the father and son without thinking too much. Along the way, Lu Ziyao gradually discovered many suspicious points about Song Yuan.
Rather than attacking the father and son of the Song family, it would be better to say that the corpses and ghosts only targeted Song Huaide. Even if Lu Ziyao was a little careless, Song Yuan would still be safe. That was the reason why Lu Ziyao was suspicious at first, but it could also be because Song Yuan had ghost energy after signing the ghost contract, so the corpses did not attack him.
What really made Lu Ziyao sure that Song Yuan had a problem was that when Xiao Kui and Yi Xichen left, leaving him alone, he could hardly protect the father and son of the Song family. But he tried his best, and he created a safe area for the father and son of the Song family even though he was injured. But he saw clearly that the real reason why Song Huaide was injured was that Song Yuan pushed Song Huaide out of the safe zone, giving the murderer the opportunity to attack and dig a big hole in Song Huaide's stomach!
The person who really wanted to kill Song Huaide was Song Yuan!
Song Huaide was shocked and stared at his youngest son in disbelief. Seeing that Song Yuan did not refute him, he was furious and said, "Song Yuan...it's you!! You damned rebellious son!!!"
After hearing what Lu Ziyao said, Xiao Kui and Yi Xichen had different reactions, but they were not too surprised. Along the way, they had already discovered many suspicious points, which were more or less expected.
Xiao Kui sneered, crossed his arms and looked excited.
Yi Xichen turned to Song Huaide and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Song, could the tree you are looking for be the one that bears thunder fruit?"
The color on Song Huaide's face disappeared instantly.
