om said reminded him that in the cultivation world, juniors usually give some gifts when they meet elders. Since he had nothing now, his eyes turned cleverly as he spoke."Thank you... thank you, Earth...Chapter 168: Killing Doesn't Require Burial

Xiao Yu didn’t linger long and got up to walk towards the main gate of the villa. Along the way, his fingers moved gracefully, forming another intricate talisman in his hand. Xiao Yu then gently pushed it behind him, sending the talisman into Cao Er’s body.

Cao Er stood there cautiously watching as Xiao Yu walked out, fearing that Xiao Yu would turn around to kill him. Suddenly, he felt a chill all over and shivered involuntarily, but he didn’t think much of it since he was already drenched in cold sweat with his pants soaked from urine; trembling was quite normal.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu turned back just then. Cao Er, who had been wary of him, hadn't expected Xiao Yu to turn around and thought that he wanted to kill him. Frightened, he backed away a few steps with a mournful expression as he said: "Goodman, you promised not to kill me..."

"Relax, I keep my word, but if anything happens to these girls, I won't mind breaking it, and that would be your example!"

When Xiao Yu reached the door, he suddenly remembered the three unconscious girls. Turning back to look at Cao Er, he exuded a wave of killing intent as he pointed at the ashes of Bald Six and sternly said.

"Goodman, rest assured. When they wake up, I’ll give them some money and send them away from the deep sea." Upon hearing that Xiao Yu wasn’t going to kill him, Cao Er sighed in relief and said.

Xiao Yu nodded and turned to leave. Only after Xiao Yu had walked out of the villa and gradually disappeared into the forest did Cao Er put aside his respectful expression and reveal a vicious look as he glanced at where Xiao Yu had vanished.

Seeing the large man’s corpse on the ground, fear still lingered in Cao Er's face. Suddenly, he froze and muttered to himself: "Strange, why didn’t I see that Taoist"

Suddenly remembering the underground room, he quickly ran towards the elevator in a small hall nearby.

Xiao Yu arrived at the small forest and hesitated for a moment as he looked at the spirit-sealing array before him. After a while, he came to the center of the forest and looked at a lush tree in front of him, thinking it must be this one.

Looking at the big tree, Xiao Yu realized that it was the core of the entire spirit-sealing array. He intended to destroy what the old Taoist set up, otherwise something unpredictable might happen.

"Rustle rustle..."

Xiao Yu made a hand sign and pointed at the big tree. An invisible wave entered the tree; as this wave entered the tree trunk, it was as if someone had violently struck the tree, causing leaves to rustle gently.

Xiao Yu discovered through his Yin-Yang eyes that the life force of the big tree was rapidly diminishing, and the aura of death was spreading over it. He was quite satisfied with the effect he had caused; at this rate, the tree would wither by tomorrow, rendering the grand array ineffective.

"Boss, did you feel it just now The ground seemed to shake a bit. Could an earthquake be coming" As soon as Xiao Yu stepped out of the dark steel door, he heard someone calling out from不遠處傳來。

"Nonsense! Don't you know if there's going to be an earthquake, the weather station would have announced it!" Another voice retorted.

Xiao Yu quickly darted into the darkness beside him and lightly touched his dagger. Narrowing his eyes at the two people, he opened his Yin-Yang eyes and found no bloodthirsty aura on them nor any resentment surrounding their bodies. He then gently released his hand from the dagger.

The two had locked the steel door behind them after entering.

Xiao Yu emerged from the darkness, glanced at the steel door, and sprinted towards the backyard.

As he reached the boiler room entrance, Xiao Yu thought of those resentful ghosts who were driven by a mere instinct for revenge. His mouth moved slightly, sending an intent with his voice into their minds deeply.

The incomplete resentful spirits hovering above the boiler suddenly trembled as the phrase "We can seek vengeance tomorrow!" was firmly imprinted in their minds.

"Woo… Woo…" The listless resentful ghosts let out excited howls upon receiving Xiao Yu's message.

Walking by the wall, feeling the turbulent resentment inside the boiler room and hearing the excited howling of the spirits, Xiao Yu smiled softly at the boiler room before lightly leaping over the wall.

On his way back, Xiao Yu pondered on everything he had done that day. He hadn't expected that Zhong Kui's memories would affect him so profoundly; killing more than ten people left him without any feelings of unease whatsoever. Especially when dealing with those who were thoroughly wicked, there was even a sense of excitement in his heart.

"Will I become someone who enjoys killing" Suddenly, this thought flashed through Xiao Yu’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Himself harboring such intense murderous intent was mostly due to the influence of Zhong Kui's memories, and partly because he himself had a strong aversion to evil.

Zhong Kui killed countless evildoers throughout his life but never lost sight of his true self. He believed that he wouldn't either.

...

Cao Er arrived in the basement and saw it was a mess, with blood and flesh splattered on the walls and floor. Cao Er's face, which had regained some color, turned pale again as he felt his heart tighten upon seeing everything.

Suddenly, Cao Er stepped onto something soft. He looked down and saw a black-as-ink palm on the ground, with a ring still on one of its fingers.

"Eh... "

Seeing this half-fingered hand made his stomach churn. Although he had seen dead people and even killed before, he had never encountered severed limbs until now. Especially not far from the palm, there was a piece of yellowish intestine, causing him to vomit uncontrollably.

Cao Er bent over and retched for quite some time, emptying his stomach entirely before getting up. He couldn't bear being in this place any longer and ran out.

Upon reaching the living room, Cao Er looked at the dozen corpses with a chill running down his spine, also feeling relieved to have saved himself from danger. Though he had lost quite some money, what use was it if he didn't even have his life

Thinking about the over 40 million yuan he had lost, a hateful gleam appeared in his eyes. But seeing all the bodies and Xiao Liu turned to ashes at the door, as well as the old Daoist torn apart into pieces downstairs, sent chills through him.

It seemed that to deal with the black-clothed man, he had to be fully prepared or else... Cao Er couldn't help but shiver at this thought.

Cao Er picked up his phone and made a call after speaking just two sentences before hanging up. Then he turned around and sat down on the sofa.

Sitting on the sofa, the taut nerves that had been straining him gradually relaxed, allowing him to feel how weak and trembling his legs were at this moment.

Not long after, two people entered from outside. If Xiao Yu was here, he would recognize these two as those he met by the door; both in their thirties with shaven heads, one plump and one thin, standing over 5 feet 7 inches tall.

Initially, upon hearing the boss's call, they thought something good would come their way. But as soon as they entered the room and saw the corpses everywhere, their faces turned pale instantly, and their legs buckled under them. They looked at Cao Er and wailed: "Boss, don't kill me! I’m loyal to you! Heaven is my witness!"

They thought these people were killed by Cao Er, and now Cao Er was going to kill them too, which made them feel utterly hopeless. It must be noted that each of the deceased men inside could easily deal with both of them.

"Useless scum!" Cao Er looked at the two individuals sprawled on the floor in horror; his pale face flashed a hint of anger as he wanted to stand up and kick them, but his legs wouldn't cooperate.

"Relax, I won’t kill you. If you do your job well, I’ll reward you handsomely!" Cao Er said to the two men lying on the floor.

Hearing that their boss not only wasn’t going to kill them but would also give them a generous reward, they tremblingly stood up and looked at Cao Er. One of them patted his chest and said: "Boss, whatever you吩咐…order us to do, we’ll handle it perfectly."

Though their chests were thumping loudly, the sight of the corpses on the ground made their hearts race wildly; they could barely stand straight, and their mouths quivered uncontrollably, producing a rattling noise as if they couldn’t speak clearly.

"Take these women to a guest room. When they wake up, send them away. Afterward, dispose of all the bodies here and in the basement by burning them in the boiler!"

Cao Er instructed the men, and when he talked about disposing of the corpses, his pale face twisted in anger.

The two men felt a fleeting sense of glee at the thought of putting these naked women in guest rooms. However, upon hearing they had to burn the bodies, both fell back down, paralyzed with fear. But seeing their boss’s distorted face and remembering his ruthlessness, they mustered up courage and agreed.

Xiao Yu slowly walked back to the clinic. If he knew Cao Er had cleaned up all aftereffects for him, who knows how he would feel about it.

After over an hour of walking, Xiao Yu returned to the clinic. He changed out of his grandfather’s black clothes; although he killed dozens of people that night without a single trace of blood on himself, he couldn’t help but marvel at the magical quality of the clothes.

Xiao Yu folded up the black clothes and put them back in their box, then placed the dagger back into his medical bag. After tidying everything up, Xiao Yu lay down to rest, contemplating today’s events as he drifted off to sleep.

The night's activities took a significant toll on Xiao Yu; especially dealing with the malevolent spirits consumed his spiritual energy greatly, leaving him feeling hollow and mentally exhausted.

When Xiao Yu woke up from his slumber, the sky was already bright. He stretched and stood up, went out to wash his face, then left the clinic in search of breakfast.nd surprise.Though Yun Xi’s father was asking Yun Piao, his gaze fixed on his brother-in-law as if waiting for confirmation from him."Haha, the district leaders have this intention, but nothing is fin...
