Ruan Fuxi readily agreed.
"Sure, as long as you tell me who is behind this, I won't kill you."
Yuan Tian was still uneasy.
Although he had not interacted much with Ruan Fuxi before, he could tell in such a short time that she was very shrewd and full of tricks.
"No, I don't believe you just like that. You need to swear to the Heavenly Dao."
At this moment, Ruan Fuxi appeared quite accommodating.
"Alright, but since you want me to swear, shouldn't you do the same? Otherwise, how would I know if what you're saying is true?"
Yuan Tian hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Fine, I can also swear to the Heavenly Dao."
Ruan Fuxi nodded.
"Let's begin."
After both of them swore separately, a flash of white light passed through.
This signified that the Heavenly Dao had witnessed the oaths they made; if either of them lied, they would surely die.
Ruan Fuxi lifted her chin slightly, signaling Yuan Tian: "You can start speaking now."
Yuan Tian thought for a moment and said,
"I received this mission from the Ghosts; I don't know who is behind it, but you can investigate yourself."
Ruan Fuxi's gaze turned cold.
"What do you mean by 'Ghosts'? Explain clearly."
Yuan Tian did not dare to deceive her.
"The Ghosts are similar to a marketplace for humans; it's a place for trading, bounties, and taking on missions. However, it's not just righteous or evil human cultivators who can enter—demons and ghosts can too, but only those with tokens are allowed inside. There, one can find all sorts of rare treasures available for purchase or trade. Additionally, there is a building known as the Knowledge Pavilion where information can be bought and sold, as well as bounties posted and missions accepted."
Ruan Fuxi asked, "The feng shui arrangement you set up for the Ruan family was commissioned here?"
Yuan Tian nodded. "That's right. But I don't know why they did it; I only handle the tasks assigned to me."
He continued...
"I can tell you're not the biological daughter of the Ruan family; you seem quite invested in them," Ruan Fuxi said sarcastically.
Yuan Tian let out a cold snort.
"I've told you everything I know. According to our agreement, you should let me go now." He had revealed everything without holding back, all for the sake of his life.
Ruan Fuxi extended her hand. "Hand over the token."
The Ruan family were ordinary people; although they had some money, they had no connection to these practitioners. Who could possibly be targeting them?
Now that she had a lead regarding the ghost, she naturally intended to investigate further.
Yuan Tian was dissatisfied but dared not refuse. After all he had revealed, giving her a token was a small price to pay; ultimately, his own life was what mattered most.
Thus, Yuan Tian handed over a dark black token to Ruan Fuxi.
"The ghost appears once a month at an unpredictable location. Before it opens, the token will display the entry point," he explained.
Ruan Fuxi took the token and examined it. "Not bad."
It wasn't marked, indicating that it wasn't limited to specific users; anyone who possessed the token could use it.
Yuan Tian took a few steps back, his expression wary. "I'm leaving now."
Ruan Fuxi nodded but suddenly recalled Gong Changle and asked, "Was the incident with the Gong family also your doing?"
Yuan Tian snorted again and admitted, "That's right. I did that too."
