This is... Guanyun's cousin?
An Hui stared wide-eyed, scanning the frail old man on the ground. The person before her was so different from the always refined and cultured cousin she remembered that she could hardly recognize him…
"Really...really...cough cough cough..."
However, upon closer inspection, she still saw some familiar features on the other person's face. Could it be... real?!
"This person is one of the evil sorcerers who practiced demonic arts..." Black Impermanence walked over at this moment, glanced at Xu Hanzhang on the ground, frowned slightly, and asked, "Does Fairy An know this person?"
An Huiling was somewhat confused at this moment. To be honest, she wasn't sure about the identity of the person on the ground. However, when she saw Hei Wuchang's indifferent eyes, her heart skipped a beat, so she immediately shook her head and said, "To be honest, I'm not quite sure about this person's identity either."
"However... if this person has truly committed some heinous crime, Huiling, as a disciple of Kunlun, will naturally not protect him in any way..."
"That's good then." Black Impermanence nodded and said, "This incident not only involves the sacrifice of living people, but also involves demons from beyond the realm, making the crime even more serious..."

"Given his appearance, this person must have been sacrificed by another demon, who used up all his vital essence and blood. He is already nearing the end."
An Huiling frowned upon hearing this. She was a clever person, and after hearing what Hei Wuchang said, and combining it with the increasingly familiar face in front of her, she was finally able to confirm that the person in front of her was most likely her cousin Xu Hanzhang!
Soon after, she understood some things.
Since the monster attack the day before yesterday...
The next day, my cousin claimed to be sick and stayed home, not even participating in the tomb-sweeping ceremony...
Today, she followed the trail of her practice... and encountered the underworld investigating a case. The Black Impermanence told her that a sorcerer was using living people as sacrifices to practice evil magic, and was even dissecting pregnant women alive...
If these things are connected, we might be able to get some vague truth!
She frowned as she looked at her cousin, who was breathing heavily, his breath coming in ragged gasps like a broken bellows. His body was thin and hunched over, like an old man nearing the end of his life. If it weren't for the vaguely familiar face and the way he was addressed, An Huiling wouldn't have recognized him at all...
Having overheard the conversation between Hei Wuchang and An Huiling, he became visibly agitated, breathing heavily as he strained to tilt his head back: "I...I'm still young...I still have great things to do...I...I won't die...No...How could I die......"
As he spoke, he looked at An Huiling again, forcing a smile on his wrinkled, aged face. To An Huiling, the smile seemed stiff and ingratiating, but when she recalled his previous actions, she realized how despicable and cruel they had been…
"Cousin...it's me...it's me...my cousin...my cousin!!!"
"Please save me... please save me..."
At this moment, Xu Hanzhang no longer cared about why An Huiling was there; he simply regarded her as his last lifeline.
"Cousin, why did you do that?" An Huiling asked, staring into Xu Hanzhang's eyes expressionlessly.
"This..." Xu Hanzhang's eyes flickered, unable to meet An Huiling's gaze. His eyes darted around, and he suddenly coughed violently again. After a while, he said weakly, "I...I don't know anything, I was just...I was just deceived by that Master Liyuan..."
"Yes... I was deceived... I didn't do anything..."
"Er...cuo is all...all of it is him...his wife hurt me, it's him...chat...that made me like this!!!"
"It's all...him...'s fault!!! You have to believe me! Cousin...you have to...believe me!!!"
"Cousin, do you know this sir? Please put in a good word for me... help me... I don't want to be taken to some underworld..." As he spoke, he suddenly became breathless, seemingly due to excessive excitement. Then, he suddenly convulsed, his eyes wide open, white foam coming out of his mouth, just like a patient having an epileptic seizure. He clearly wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
At this moment, An Huiling's gaze involuntarily fell on the gruesome corpse at the center of the altar. She involuntarily went to the dissected corpse and looked at the horrific scene. Even though she had experienced far more terrifying environments before, she still did not want to look at this scene for long. She held her breath, stared for a moment, and then turned her head to look at the Black Impermanence beside her: "I beg Your Excellency to act according to the law, without wrongdoing or leniency."
"Rest assured, fairy, this is the proper course of action."
................................................
"Don't chase me...don't chase me!!!" On the empty road late at night, Yu Huai drove his car at breakneck speed. Sitting in the driver's seat, he was panting heavily, as if he had been greatly frightened. He muttered to himself, his eyes constantly shifting between the road in front of him and the rearview mirror.
Ahead was a crossroads, and the traffic light had just turned from green to red. Four well-dressed young men and women, presumably out partying at night, were crossing the zebra crossing arm in arm, laughing and joking with each other, heading towards the other side of the road…
However, at that very moment, the man and woman, who were focused on each other, noticed a black sedan speeding towards them like a madman in the night not far away.
The black sedan did not slow down at all when passing through the intersection, completely ignoring the pedestrians crossing the zebra crossing, and crashed into the group of people.
At that moment, the last man finally noticed the car speeding towards them. His eyes widened in terror as he grabbed a woman in front of him and instinctively took a step back. That one step became the boundary between life and death!
Then a dull thud was heard, and the two men and women walking in front were thrown out without a sound. They flew straight for more than ten meters, and after landing, they rolled and tumbled for more than ten meters before their bodies came to a stop.
The car that hit the person didn't slow down at all, and continued to drive forward like a whirlwind...
"Ah ...
"Hello...is this...is this the police? I...I need to report a crime, a car...a car ran a red light and hit...killed someone!!!"
....................................
Yu Huai ignored the two young men blocking his way, smashed them into the air, and sped through the red light, continuing his reckless advance.
While maintaining his speed, he glanced at the navigation map on the vehicle. His current destination was Jin'an Airport. He kept the car steady and reached into his pocket, quickly finding his phone. He felt relieved that his phone hadn't been lost, which made things much easier.
He continued driving forward while distracted by his phone, quickly finding Wei Yuan's number and dialing it...
However, it was just a continuous dial tone, ringing more than ten times, until finally displaying "The user you dialed is not answering." He couldn't get through. He tried several times without success. Yu Huai cursed under his breath. In his unstable mental state, he subconsciously wanted to smash the phone on the ground. But just as he raised it, he remembered something, took a deep breath, suppressed his agitation, and put the phone back in his bag.
Wei Yuan was his contact person with Mr. Wei, but he couldn't directly contact Mr. Wei. Since he couldn't get in touch with him now, it meant he couldn't leave Jin'an with Mr. Wei's help. He had originally hoped that Mr. Wei could at least arrange a seat for him so he could board a plane directly...

However, this completely shattered his hopes. Then, Yu Huai wondered if something had happened to Chairman Wei as well, after all, he knew that Chairman Wei had previously wanted to "broaden his horizons"...
Thinking about this, he became increasingly agitated. He subconsciously glanced at the rearview mirror again. The mirror showed nothing particularly unusual on the road behind him, but this did nothing to alleviate the pressure in his heart...
"Damn it...why is it chasing me...why..." Yu Huai gripped the steering wheel tightly, breathing heavily, and muttered to himself.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, causing the lush green leaves of a tall roadside tree to rustle. Coincidentally, a branch of this tree, severely gnawed by beetle larvae, suddenly began to crack under the weight. The crack then spread rapidly outwards with a series of soft cracking sounds as the wind blew. Finally, the worm-eaten section could no longer withstand the weight of the branch, and the nearly three-meter-long branch fell, crashing down onto the road below and blocking two lanes of traffic.
At that very moment, Yu Huai's vehicle sped up and, upon seeing the situation ahead, almost without hesitation, swerved the steering wheel, crossed two lanes, and drove against traffic into the adjacent lane.
At that very moment, a silver-gray sedan was approaching from the opposite direction in the oncoming lane. Upon seeing the black sedan turning from the opposite direction, the driver of the other sedan was terrified and swerved sharply to avoid a collision.
Then they saw the oncoming car suddenly brake to a stop after it pulled away from Yu Huai's car, and then the driver rolled down the window and started cursing loudly.
"You damn bastard! Are you going to a funeral?!"
However, Yu Huai was unaware of all this. After bypassing the branches, he returned to the original road and accelerated forward without stopping.
Facing another intersection, the light was already yellow. Yu Huai floored the accelerator and sped across the intersection. At the same moment, a police car that had been parked nearby received a call from headquarters. It activated its roof lights, quickly started moving, and gave chase to Yu Huai's vehicle…
"Attention, vehicles ahead! Attention, vehicles ahead! Pull over! Pull over!!"
Yu Huai quickly noticed the police car chasing behind him, but he didn't stop at all. Instead, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the car sped forward at breakneck speed.
Just ahead of him, a middle-aged man with a suitcase beside him was waiting for his food at a roadside barbecue stall. At that moment, a stray dog not far away seemed to be frightened and began barking loudly in his direction.
Its fierce appearance made it seem as if it was about to pounce and tear at him, which frightened the middle-aged man so much that he immediately took a step back. In doing so, he accidentally kicked the suitcase next to him. The suitcase then veered off the sidewalk and slid straight toward the roadway. Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and the suitcase, propelled by the wind, sped faster and faster, heading toward the center of the roadway...
Yu Huai's vehicle was speeding along the motor vehicle lane when it suddenly saw the suitcase appear in front of it and crashed into it without thinking.
"Bang!!!" After a loud crash, the suitcase was sent flying, but the broken suitcase also caused considerable damage to one side of the front of the car. Under the huge impact of the high speed, the right headlight was also shattered.
Perhaps by chance, a piece of debris from the damaged area was directly caught in the right tire, and then the debris embedded itself in the right tire, causing it to burst.
The sudden tire blowout caused the vehicle to lose balance, veering off course in a wobbly S-shape on the road before colliding with a white sedan in the adjacent lane that couldn't avoid it. The two vehicles screeched as they came to a stop.
Yu Huai, panting heavily, slumped over the steering wheel, took a few deep breaths, and then abruptly pushed open the door and got out of the car. Not far from him, the driver of the white sedan was also getting out of his car, still shaken. Yu Huai's vehicle had crashed directly into the left rear door of the white sedan, leaving a noticeable dent.
The driver of the white sedan, a stylishly dressed woman, got out of the car and angrily shouted, "Hey, how do you drive?! You..."
But before she could finish speaking, she saw Yu Huai, his eyes bloodshot, stumbling towards her...
"You...what are you going to do?!"
The female driver immediately started backing away in terror, but before she could take a few steps, Yu Huai shoved her violently, causing her to fall to the ground. Yu Huai ignored the fallen female driver, opened the door of the white sedan, and got in...
At this moment, the police car behind had also arrived at the side, blocking Yu Huai's vehicle. Unexpectedly, Yu Huai stepped on the gas and rammed the police car directly into the road...
At the same moment, a large amount of gray fog spread from behind Yu Huai's vehicle, quickly obscuring the visibility on the road and causing vehicles on the road to slow down.
At this moment, Yu Huai accelerated again. He rolled down the window, turned his head to look back at the faint mist behind him, his eyes filled with terror. If his vision could rise, he would have seen that not far in front of and behind him, a number of police cars were converging on him...
..................................................................
"White vehicle ahead!! Stop immediately!!! Stop immediately!!!" As Yu Huai's vehicle sped through another traffic light intersection, two police cars turned out from a side road and followed behind him, their sirens blaring.
Yu Huai glanced at the police car closely following in the rearview mirror, frowned, pressed his hand to his temple, and muttered a strange incantation with difficulty...
At that very moment, in the lead police car, an officer was driving, desperately trying to keep up with the vehicle that had caused the accident, while his partner in the passenger seat was communicating with headquarters, reporting the vehicle's current location and situation in real time.
Volume Two: The Truth Hidden Behind History Books: Chapter 784 There's No Repentance
"Received... We'll be at the intersection of Jinxi Road and Fuhuang Road soon. Please implement traffic control in advance. I repeat, we'll be at the intersection of Jinxi Road and Fuhuang Road soon. Please implement..." Before he could finish speaking, his eyes widened as if he had suddenly seen something terrifying. It was a ghost perched on the windshield of their police car, its outstretched bony wings almost completely obscuring the windshield. It was peering cautiously at the two people inside the vehicle...
"A ghost!!!" The police officer in the driver's seat screamed in terror. His hands trembled, and the vehicle immediately went out of control, veering off the road. The vehicle twisted violently twice before crashing sideways into a bus stop. Fortunately, it was late at night, and since this was not in the city center, there were no pedestrians waiting for the bus, which prevented an accident.
Behind this police car, another police car slowed down to avoid the out-of-control vehicle, immediately creating distance between itself and Yu Huai's car.
Yu Huai glanced at the scene in the rearview mirror again, but his face did not show any relief. He looked around and did not continue driving along the current road. Instead, when he was about to reach the intersection, he turned the steering wheel sharply and turned into a side road.
Yu Huai has always been an extremely cautious person. After all, he was doing illegal things, and the targets were internationally renowned conglomerate families. He couldn't be too careful.
Therefore, he had already studied the surrounding terrain beforehand, and as it turned out, this study was worthwhile. The alley he entered was the road leading to Anlefang.
Anlefang is a very common name, with many neighborhoods with the same name across the country. However, Anlefang in Jin'an is a residential area for people from the lower classes.
This area is not a slum in the strict sense. The government has a basic plan for Anlefang, and some infrastructure such as water and electricity is complete. However, because the community was established too early, it has not undergone much demolition and renovation. As a result, the problems of narrow roads and dense housing have not been effectively solved. Therefore, most of the wealthy and influential residents have moved away from here.
Yu Huai drove his vehicle almost recklessly into the alley, barely slowing down, and knocked over two trash cans placed at the entrance of the alley. One of the people, probably an office worker returning from overtime, was unfortunately covered in flying trash...
