The last time, by the riverside outside the school's medical office, the White Crane Child had already shown killing intent towards him.

Because Li Zhiyuan had planned to renegotiate the labor contract with It.

But ultimately, on the surface, everyone was holding a bowl marked "Righteous."

Therefore, no matter how much they fought, it was an internal conflict within the Righteous.

Li Zhiyuan said, "Those were sisters, refined into cursed objects while still alive."

The trident flipped again, its tip pointing forward.

Li Zhiyuan was not panicked at all. In such a situation, if the White Crane Child did not first attack the old man but turned against him, It would essentially be completely abandoning Its previous path, descending directly from a Yin God back to a Ghost King.

It couldn't bear to.

The White Crane Child stepped forward, performing the Three-step Praise, Its figure flickering alternately in the corridor under the night sky.

The old man jabbed forward with his wooden stick, and the purple-haired girl leapt up like a monkey. After grasping the top, she quickly climbed with hands and feet alternating, then swooped down from above the White Crane Child.

The White Crane Child lifted Its head, Its vertical pupils opening, causing the girl's figure to slow down.

"Ah!!!"

The girl let out a piercing shriek, disrupting the White Crane Child's vertical pupils, and as she landed on Its shoulders, she raised her hands. Her claws extended, aiming for the White Crane Child's face.

"Clang!"

The girl's claws were blocked by the trident, and the White Crane Child grabbed her from behind like picking up a naughty monkey.

The previously scattered vertical pupils were now not only unusually steady but also glowed with a bloody red hue.

The girl's face showed fear, realizing the immense power difference.

As a curse, she wasn't even as formidable as a wandering fierce ghost from the countryside, so how could she compete with an official?

In other words, if the official couldn't handle something like this, there'd be no face left to declare "Kill without ferrying."

The White Crane Child held the girl in front with Its left hand and thrust forward with the trident in Its right.

"Puh!"

"Ah!!!"

A scream resounded.

But this time, it was genuine, and after the initial mournful wail, the fierce aura on the girl began to fade, and relief appeared in her eyes.

From the patient room came a sequence of dull flashing sounds.

Li Zhiyuan turned his head to glance inside, then raised his left hand and snapped his fingers again:

"Snap!"

Under the bed, the three extinguished lamps reignited instantly.

"Bang!"

The girl's body was ejected from the patient room by a barrier, landing in front of the White Crane Child.

The girl in the White Crane Child's hand had completely dissipated, and as It squatted down, It grabbed the girl's neck with Its left hand and stabbed down with the trident in Its right.

There was no grand show, no reversal or surprise. The official, once a Ghost King but now a Yin God, knew exactly how to deal with soul-like evil spirits.

The old man was so scared that the wooden stick in his hand started trembling, not from summoning but from genuine fear.

When he first introduced himself, Shizhuo Zhao had mentioned his inherited profession was suited for working from the shadows with curses, not direct confrontation.

Now, with both of his curses defeated, he no longer had the confidence to continue fighting.

"Who on earth are you, who exactly are you?"

An unknown Corpse Recovery Li from Nantong could even make an official willingly act as a henchman.

When his curse failed to enter the patient room the first time, he was suspicious. When he saw the boy snapping his fingers again, he realized that the room had an Array pre-arranged!

Damn it,

They were fishing!

Good at setting up Arrays, with such a powerful assistant, and you tell me it's just an ordinary Corpse Recovery Diver?

The White Crane Child closed in on the old man.

Back then, Li Zhiyuan had casually sealed a mischievous woman spirit in high heels as a guard, which was already seen as a crime of ghost control from the official's perspective.

The old man before him, not only refined living people into curses but also used them to harm others, didn't that make him guilty as hell?

"You, you, you, who exactly are you!"

The old man stood there, still pointing at Li Zhiyuan and questioning.

Li Zhiyuan ignored him, instead leaning against the corridor railing, looking downstairs, as if waiting for something to appear.

Meanwhile, he contemplated, *The old man's curses were being released one after another, which clearly didn't fit logic. No matter how skilled a curse caster he was, he couldn't withstand such excessiveness.*

*Moreover, he had seen Zhao Mengyao during the day, her complexion normal and energy stable. There was absolutely no sign of backlash from the curse caster.*

*Could it be that Shizhuo Zhao had mastered some Secret Technique to neutralize the backlash from cursing?*

Meanwhile, the White Crane Child had reached the old man. The trident pierced through his chest.

The old man's face went white as paper.

As a matter of fact, the old man really turned into a piece of paper.

The trident had only penetrated a sheet of paper.

The confrontation was just a diversion; the old man had sensed the danger and already made his escape.

"Heh..."

Li Zhiyuan chuckled. In his view, he just saw the old man running out of the staircase, appearing in the garden in front of the inpatient building.

The White Crane Child's ears, nose, mouth corners, and even Its eyes began to emit white vapor.

It had been tricked, and behind him, the young man laughed.

The Child turned and looked at Li Zhiyuan.

Li Zhiyuan pointed downward, "Aren't you going to chase him?"

The Child leaped, jumping down from the building.

With each floor, It lightly touched the railing with Its hand, moving swiftly, until It finally landed.

The fleeing old man glanced back, only to find the official already behind him, scaring him so much that he nearly lost his soul and hurriedly continued to flee.
