Ch 47: The Tianyin Society And The Heretical Path
“I understand. If I encounter Bei Miaomiao next time, I will show mercy.”
Zhang Buran felt guilty towards his former best friend’s younger sister.
“You’d better find Bei Miaomiao before anyone else. The Daoist Alliance has zero tolerance for members of the Heavenly Yin Society. Once a Heavenly Yin Society member is caught, their fate is irrelevant.” Xia Yun added.
“We are apprehending Bei Miaomiao as friends, not as Daoist Alliance members.”
“Bei Miaomiao is classified as an extremely dangerous practitioner of Wicked Ways, and the Daoist Alliance has already dispatched Profound Level Daoists, and even Earth Level Daoists to search for her.”
“During the search for Bei Miaomiao, if you have a conflict with Daoist Alliance members, you’d better suppress your bad temper.”
Xia Yun stared intently at Zhang Buran, making him feel a little embarrassed.
Previously, Zhang Buran’s temper was notoriously the worst.
He was unruly and arrogant.
Zhang Buran chuckled awkwardly:
“My temper is much calmer now. I’m not the same impetuous Zhang Buran I was back then.”
“That’s best.” Xia Yun started the Rolls Royce and said, “Tell me if you encounter any difficulties. If you’re short of money…”
“Tsk, I, Celestial Master Zhang, would never be short of money!”
Zhang Buran said, clinging to his pride.
Xia Yun saw through it all but didn’t expose Zhang Buran.
After all, in Xia Yun’s impression, Zhang Buran was very proud.
The car started, and amidst the envious gazes of onlookers, the Rolls Royce sped off.
In the car, Xia Yun looked at the worried Zhang Buran, as if seeing again the overbearing “mad Daoist” from three years ago.
Ultimately, he single-handedly carved a formidable reputation in both the human and ghost realms.
With Purple Lightning in one hand and the Golden Light Sword in the other.
Millions of Evil Ghosts were reduced to ashes by the Purple Lightning!
No matter what ghosts and demons, the Golden Light Sword would slay them with a single strike!
To the point that in the Ghost Realm, any ghost would tremble at the name “Zhang Buran.”
And in the human world, among the Daoists, any Daoist with some experience knew that the one wielding Purple Lightning in his left hand and the Golden Light Sword in his right was the youngest Celestial Master in legend—Zhang Buran!
“You… have already divorced that Miss Wen?”
Xia Yun, who was driving, suddenly asked.
“There’s still a 30-day Divorce Cooling-Off Period before it’s officially finalized.” Zhang Buran was a little puzzled.
“You wouldn’t still be a virgin, would you?”
“Of course… why are you asking this?”
Zhang Buran realized something was wrong.
The fact that Zhang Buran was still a virgin… was quite embarrassing, to be honest.
Married for three years, and he hadn’t even experienced what a woman was like.
“Nothing.”
Xia Yun’s expression remained icy, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
“By the way, do you know the Li Family?” Zhang Buran suddenly asked.
“The Li Family? Which Li Family?”
Xia Yun recalled the Li Families she knew. In Magic City, there seemed to be only one Li Family, one of the Magic City Six Great Families.
“They seem to be able to control the Entertainment Industry.”
Zhang Buran thought of what Li Yun had said.
The Li Family Li Yanni belonged to seemed to hold a pivotal position in the Entertainment Industry.
After thinking for a moment, Xia Yun said, “There are two Li Families; they were one family decades ago.”
“But later, the two Li brothers, Li Hao and Li Guohao, had disagreements and split the family.”
“The one involved in the entertainment industry is the Li Family headed by Li Hao. They mainly focus on business and are involved in the entertainment industry.”
“The other Li Family is headed by Li Guohao. They mainly focus on politics and have military connections.”
“Why are you suddenly interested in the Li Family?”
Zhang Buran pulled out the Ghost Collection Talisman that had absorbed the Gluttony Ghost’s essence.
“I suspect the Li Family is being targeted, and the person targeting them should be a practitioner of Wicked Ways who can use magic to control ghosts.”
“This Gluttony Ghost was captured from Li Yanni of the Li Family.”
“According to this Gluttony Ghost, every important figure in the Li Family has been possessed. Someone is trying to destroy the Li Family, and there must be a Wicked Way practitioner helping them.”
“It could be the Heavenly Yin Society you mentioned earlier.”
“To destroy the Li Family… once the Li Family falls, the ones who would benefit the most would be the other major families in Magic City.” Xia Yun narrowed her eyes, thinking.
“So, the other major families are the most likely suspects.”
“Speaking of which, I remember you went to the Li Family Villa a few days ago. The General-Level Ghost you subdued at the Li Family Villa was one of the Ten-Eyed Demon Lord’s eyeballs, and the person it possessed was the Li Family’s Old Master Li Yan, the father of the two Li Family Heads.”
“So, the person behind this is targeting the entire Li Family.”
“Besides the Li Family, the Wang Family, Wen Family, Lin Family, Shangguan Family, and Gu Family… all of these other major families have the suspicion of colluding with the Heavenly Yin Society.”
After Xia Yun finished her analysis, Zhang Buran looked grave.
The Wen Family… also a suspect?
Zhang Buran was very familiar with the Wen Family, having lived there for three years.
But at that time, Zhang Buran didn’t have magical power, and he couldn’t access many core matters, so he couldn’t judge whether the Wen Family had any contact with the Wicked Way Heavenly Yin Society.
“I’ve already started investigating; leave this to me,” Zhang Buran said seriously.
“Okay. I’m relieved to leave ghost-catching to you.” Xia Yun nodded.
Zhang Buran might be unreliable in other matters.
But when it came to ghost-catching, no one was more reliable than Zhang Buran.
…
In the hospital, in front of Wen Chuhan’s hospital bed.
The haggard Wen Churou, the worried Wen Tianqing, and Ouyang Hong were all there.
Even Old Master Wen, Wen Chengxin, appeared with a cane.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy because Old Master Wen was furious.
“Nonsense! Didn’t I give strict orders! Wasn’t I forbidding Wen Chuhan and Zhang Buran from divorcing? How dare she secretly get a divorce!”
Wen Chengxin didn’t show any concern for Wen Chuhan, who had collapsed on the bed, but instead questioned her angrily.
“Dad, they are young people; we shouldn’t interfere too much. After all, Chuhan and…”
Ouyang Hong stepped forward to intercede, but Wen Chengxin didn’t give her any face, directly roaring:
“What’s this got to do with you?! How dare you meddle in the Wen Family’s affairs! If you want to get a divorce so much, then you divorce Tianqing!”
Ouyang Hong was instantly speechless.
Though somewhat disobedient, it was Old Master Wen, the actual person in charge of the Wen Family, and Ouyang Hong dared not defy him.
Wen Tianqing gave Ouyang Hong a look, signaling her not to speak.
Wen Tianqing stepped forward and said, “Dad, don’t be too angry. After all, young people have many ideas. Chuhan probably acted on impulse; she secretly got a divorce without telling us. Dad, don’t be too angry, Chuhan’s health is the most important thing now!”
Wen Chengxin was currently in a rage and wouldn’t listen to anyone’s advice.
“The divorce isn’t finalized, is it? Get remarried immediately, and respectfully invite Zhang Buran back to be my Wen Family’s son-in-law!”
“Why Chuhan fainted, others may not know, but you should know. Tianqing, I’ve told you everything; you should understand the stakes.” Wen Chengxin frowned, implying something.
