Wei Ning felt an inexplicable sorrow in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he shakily lifted the Coffin Lid.
The lifeless face of Wei Qiuxi appeared before him.
It was as if thunder had struck him!
“Grandfather!” Wei Ning cried out, his voice filled with anguish.
In just one day, Wei Ning had lost both his master and his grandfather. Even as a strong man, tears streamed down his face.
“Wei, sigh…” Zhang Ye was at a loss for words on how to comfort his brother, his own eyes reddening.
“May you find peace in your grief,” Zhang Ye finally said.
Wei Xian Gui stood nearby, coldly watching Wei Ning, a smirk playing at the corners of his mouth.
Suddenly, Wei Ning looked up at Zhang Ye and demanded, “Who killed them!”
Zhang Ye's expression turned strange as he stammered, “I… I don’t know… ask Ding Ying, she knows…”
“Where is Ding Ying?” Zhang Ye pulled out the Red Pearl from his pocket. Wei Ning hurriedly retrieved the Red Umbrella from inside the house and tossed the Red Pearl into the air. In an instant, red light filled the room, and Ding Ying appeared.
“Ding Ying, who did this?” Wei Ning held up the Red Umbrella for Ding Ying, tears welling in his fierce eyes. He clutched her clothing tightly, his face contorted in pain as he pleaded, “Who killed my master? Tell me, Ding Ying!”
Ding Ying looked at Wei Ning and sighed softly. “Darling, why must you do this? The dead cannot come back to life. You should take care of yourself.”
"Who is it?" Wei Ning's face turned pale as he stared at Ding Ying, who felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. At that moment, Wei Ning resembled a terrifying lion, ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.
Wei Ning spoke each word with deliberate intensity, "Did Lin Lingsu kill my master?"
Ding Ying looked at Wei Ning and nodded heavily.
Wei Ning let out a bitter laugh. "I knew it was him. Lin Lingsu, what grudge do I have against you in my past life? You not only harmed me but also took my master's life!"
"And what about my grandfather? Was it you?" Wei Ning turned to Wei Xian Gui, his expression filled with terror.
Wei Xian Gui waved his hands dismissively and replied coldly, "If I had wanted him dead, he would have been a corpse by now."
"Then who was it?"
Ding Ying fell silent for a moment before suddenly raising her head to look at Wei Ning. "Lin Lingsu. Yes, it was Lin Lingsu who killed your grandfather."
"Just as I thought!" Wei Ning slammed his hand down onto the ground, and in an instant, a slab of blue stone shattered into pieces. Ding Ying and Zhang Ye gasped in shock; if that blow had landed on someone's head…
Ding Ying sighed and said, "Wei Ning, do you really have to seek revenge? When will this cycle of vengeance end? Just let it go."
"Once a teacher, forever a father. Master Wang treated me with immense kindness. My grandfather raised me; he is the closest person to me in this world. Lin Lingsu actually… If I don't avenge this grudge, am I still human? Lin Lingsu!" As Wei Ning uttered those three words, a rare expression of deep resentment flashed in his eyes, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
Ding Ying turned her head away, unable to meet Wei Ning's gaze.
Wei Xian Gui looked at Ding Ying, a cold smile forming in his heart.
"What are you doing?" Wei Xian Gui suddenly asked as he watched Wei Ning rush out.
"Going to kill at Dragon Tiger Mountain."
"That's the spirit! Now that's a real man, clear about grievances and grudges." Zhang Ye gave a thumbs up. "I've never liked that bitch Lin Lingsu. Brother, let's go. We'll settle the score with Wu Haozi together with that bitch."
The two were about to leave.
Wei Xian Gui sneered, "Just the two of you? You might as well be going to your deaths."
"Lin Lingsu is the leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain and masters the most exquisite technique of Qimen Dunjia, the Fengyun Nine Escape. Even I would have to think twice before facing her. Wei Ning, although you are of the Blood Corpse body, you probably still aren't a match for Lin Lingsu," Wei Xian Gui said coldly.
Wei Ning's powerful frame trembled, halting his steps.
"However, if you had these things, it would be different." With that, Wei Xian Gui tossed a Red Pearl into the air. "As long as you agree to let me help you become a 'demigod,' then not only Lin Lingsu but even eliminating the entire Dragon Tiger Mountain would be no challenge."
Wei Ning fell silent for a moment, his blood-red eyes fixed on Wei Xian Gui. After a long pause, he suddenly said, "Alright, I agree..."
The night wind was chilly as it dispersed Wei Ning and Zhang Ye, who were guarding Wang Tuozi and Wei Qiuxi. Wei Xian Gui called Ding Ying aside and asked, "Why deceive him?"
Ding Ying remained silent. Wei Xian Gui coldly continued, "You can hide it from Wei Ning, but not from me. Wang Tuozi indeed died at Lin Lingsu's hands, but judging by the sword marks, Wang Chuyi could have easily avoided that strike. Yet he didn't... From his corpse, I can tell he must have attempted that ridiculous Revival Technique but abandoned it for some reason. He knew he would never have another chance to cast it again. Wang Chuyi has survived until now solely because of reviving those Royal Family members he killed back in the day. This time, having failed in his efforts, he realized he had nothing left to live for and chose to end his life through Lin Lingsu's hands. So rather than being another victim of Lin Lingsu, he effectively took his own life. Even without Lin Lingsu, he would still have died, wouldn't he?"
Ding Ying lowered her head in silence.
"And then there's Wei Qiuxi. That strike to the life gate was clearly Zhu You's technique," Wei Xian Gui coldly stared at Ding Ying. "Wei Qiuxi was actually killed by Wang Chuyi, wasn't she?"
Ding Ying bit her lower lip, not daring to speak.
Wei Xian Gui continued coldly, "If that's the case, why did you deceive him?"
After a long moment of silence, Ding Ying suddenly raised her head to look at Wei Xian Gui and said, "I don't want Wei Ning to have any ties with that Enchantress Lin Lingsu. Lin Lingsu has avenged her great grievance, and Wei Ning has always been unable to forget her. If Lin Lingsu says anything to him, I'm afraid Wei Ning won't be able to control himself... At that time, he would be hurt by Lin Lingsu again. Wei Ning has already suffered too much because of her. I don't want that; I'm doing this for Wei Ning's sake, so... so..."
"This is just one reason," Wei Xian Gui said. "You also hold a grudge against Lin Lingsu for nearly burning you alive back then, so..." Wei Xian Gui's gaze was piercing as he looked at Ding Ying, speaking each word deliberately. "You know you can't take revenge on her anymore, so you have no choice but to use Wei Ning... right?"
Ding Ying trembled all over, not daring to answer Wei Xian Gui.
Wei Xian Gui sighed and said, "I always thought you were a pure-hearted child. I didn't expect... your scheme to frame someone else is truly brilliant, leaving no trace behind. Coupled with Wei's absolute trust in you, you've succeeded... I underestimated you before..."
"But," Ding Ying raised her head to look at Wei Xian Gui and said firmly, "I'm doing this for Wei Ning's good. Only in this way can he truly forget that woman. This might not be a bad thing for him, right?"
Wei Xian Gui nodded heavily and gazed into the distance. "Let’s hope so..."
