Chapter 184 Breakthrough

Feng Ruoxing cleared her throat and said, "I've understood most of your deductions. However, I still don't get what you meant by hitting the ghost into Wang the Butcher."

I took a deep breath and said, "My original idea was to lure out all the enemies hiding in the Wang family and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"So, I followed Bai Hanfei's train of thought and set up the Seven Stars Formation. Moreover, I deliberately left an opening for the blood puppet."

"The blood puppet is the key to reversing the entire layout. How could I possibly be defeated by something I created myself?"

"However, the opponent lurking in the dark wouldn't think that way. He would think that I wouldn't guard against my own puppet and would definitely choose to use the puppet to kill me."

"The moment the puppet moves is my chance to turn the tables."

Ye Yang narrowed his eyes and said, "As stupid as ever!"

Feng Ruoxing also gave a thumbs up, "You're really bold."

Setting up a blood puppet beside me and exposing it to the opponent is undoubtedly like handing a loaded gun to the opponent and then betting that the bullet will definitely misfire.

I chuckled and said, "However, what I didn't expect was that among those who attacked us, there was actually a soul of Wang the Butcher."

I pointed to the broken gap in the wall through the window, "The soul crying outside the wall is Wang the Butcher herself."

"As soon as the sound of crying started, I felt that she was targeting the substitute in the courtyard."

"At the time, I was still wondering why the ghost would have such a strong killing intent towards the substitute? It wasn't until the red lantern fell that I realized it was Wang the Butcher herself."

I looked up at the ceiling, "The person who replaced Wang the Butcher didn't dare to bring their own handy magical implements in under our noses. They could only use the Wang family's existing things."

"The human blood lantern belongs to the Wang family, but also to the Butcher Sect. The substitute can control the lantern, which means she should be from the Butcher Sect, or even a direct disciple of the Bai family."

"However, the human blood lantern is, after all, a magical implement of the Wang family. She can use it, but she can't control it as easily as she would like. Therefore, the Wang family's lantern always seems powerful, but it's just empty show."

"According to common sense, red lanterns can restrain ghosts. In order not to expose the plan, the substitute took the initiative to use the red lantern to suppress Wang the Butcher before us, but the red lantern was held in mid-air by the yin wind."

"It's not that the red lantern is too weak, but that the red lantern met its original owner."

I paused here and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Wang the Butcher reacted in time when she was attacked. Although she failed to counterattack successfully, she wasn't completely destroyed either."

"Wang the Butcher's soul should be hidden somewhere in the Wang family. It didn't appear until we fought."

After listening to me, Feng Ruoxing shook her head slightly and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable, but Wang the Butcher hasn't returned to her body yet, isn't that a bit difficult to explain?"

I said in a deep voice, "This is also what I haven't been able to figure out. So, I need time to save Wang the Butcher."

At this time, I must not let those notaries come in and mess things up. There may be people from the Bai family among them, or they may directly judge that I lost the battle.

In either case, I would be in an absolutely passive situation. Therefore, I would rather kill people than let them break into the Wang family mansion.

Feng Ruoxing also understood my intentions, but she worried, "Can you resolve the Wang family's crisis in three days?"

Bai Hanfei's move has caused us a lot of trouble, but he can stand in an invincible position.

No matter who dies, Wei Junyong or Wang the Butcher, Liangjie Tang will be judged to have lost.

This time, I can prevent the notaries from entering the door, but how can I stop them when they come again?

I can do things like going back on my word, but if I dare to do that, Liangjie Tang will lose all credibility in the martial world. In the future, no one will dare to do business with Liangjie Tang.

Perhaps, there will be no "future" either. The underworld also attaches great importance to the credit of Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren. The underworld can allow Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren to fail, but it will not tolerate Yang Jian Jie Ming Ren breaking their word.

If I dare to go back on my word, even if the civil officials don't deal with me, the two ancestral masters will clean up the house.

You should know that the two ancestral masters value trustworthiness and righteousness the most. I don't want to be slapped to death by them, so I either have to break the situation within three days, or admit defeat after three days.

I smiled and took a puff of smoke, "Isn't there still three days? What's there to be afraid of? Maybe Wang the Butcher will wake up in a while."

"I hope so!" Feng Ruoxing looked at the half-burned yellow incense with a solemn expression.

On the surface, I was calm and composed, and I could even joke with Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing, but my palms were sweating.

Our last chance lies in the time of this incense stick. Within the time of one incense stick, if Wang the Butcher or Wei Junyong can't return to their bodies, we will have lost the gamble.

However, none of us can control the current situation. Some secret arts can be used by sorcerers, but success or failure can only depend on fate.

For example, the Seven Stars Life Extension Technique, and for example, the current Soul Return Technique.

All we can do is guard the yellow incense and wait for God's arrangement.
