Zang Tianji said with an icy expression, "Go back and tell the Reincarnation Department that my relationship with them is over. From today onwards, I formally resign from my position as a guest official of the Reincarnation Department."

As he spoke, Zang Tianji threw a token on the ground.

Wen Yiliao said in shock, "Esteemed Guest Official, what is the meaning of this...? Wen Yiliao has no intention of offending you. Please reconsider, Guest Official."

Zang Tianji simply said, "Let's go!"

The driver immediately turned the car around and sped away, not stopping for even a moment despite Wen Yiliao's shouts.

The driver glanced at Wen Yiliao several times in the rearview mirror before finally saying, "Chief, are we doing the right thing? I mean, is this...isn't this a bit much?"

Zang Tianji said angrily, "It's all those fools who brought me this trouble. If I don't leave the Reincarnation Department, I won't be able to sever this karma with Liangjie Tang."

"Sometimes, I really envy Ling! If Ling hadn't been so ruthless back then and killed three deputy chiefs and eleven protectors of Nan Weiyang in one fell swoop, Nan Weiyang wouldn't have become such an impenetrable fortress. In this regard, I am not as good as Ling."

The driver comforted him, "Ling is scheming for the world, while the Chief is scheming for the Heavenly Dao. They can't be compared on the same level."

Zang Tianji shook his head, "How can you scheme for the Heavenly Dao without scheming for the world? However, Ling was able to join Nan Weiyang and assist the Emperor because of his master's orders. But why is Liu Bao staying in Liangjie Tang to assist Li Po?"

The driver laughed, "How can Liu Bao compare to Chief Ling?"

"He's not as good now, but he's not far off," Zang Tianji muttered to himself. "Why is Li Po an un-fated person? Otherwise, I could have used him to deduce Liu Bao."

This time, the driver didn't dare to say anything.

Zang Tianji was gone, but Wang Butcher was even more worried. "Old Liu, Jiang Junci's Five Deadly Paths. You've only pacified two, what about the other three?"

Old Liu smiled, "Haven't you noticed that Shopkeeper Feng is no longer in Liangjie Tang? She's gone to your Wang Family Courtyard."

"What is Ruo Xing doing at my house?" Wang Butcher asked in surprise, "Are you saying someone is going to deal with the Wang family?"

Old Liu nodded, "The Coffin Gate people think you are at a critical stage of mortal transformation. If they want to interrupt your transformation without drawing too much attention, the best way is not to attack you directly, but to attack that senior in the Wang family cellar."

"Once the Wang family is destroyed, that senior will inevitably send you a message before dying. If your state of mind is disturbed, your transformation will surely fail."

Wang Butcher said in a low voice, "But I don't need to transform!"

There are countless ways to cultivate in the world of术 (shù - arts/techniques), and mortal transformation is the path most people take. The grandmaster that Wang Butcher cultivates is, to be precise, Wang Butcher is only a quasi-grandmaster; her state of mind has not reached the level of a grandmaster.

Once she breaks through in her state of mind and enters the realm of a true grandmaster, her cultivation will inevitably skyrocket. Even a mortal-transformed术士 (shù shì - practitioner of arts) can be slaughtered with a single blade.

However, transformation in the state of mind is sometimes more difficult than transformation in cultivation, and it requires more serendipity.

After Wang Butcher finished speaking, she looked up at Old Liu. "The news that I'm transforming was deliberately leaked by you, wasn't it, you old thing? No wonder when Li Po was leaving, you deliberately had me say that I needed to transform and couldn't accompany him on the mission."

"Ahem..." Old Liu coughed twice and said, "Wasn't I doing it for the good of Liangjie Tang? Calm down, I'll treat you to tea."

Wang Butcher glared at Old Liu. "Tell me, what else have you arranged at the Wang family?"

Old Liu scratched his cheek and said, "There's also your sister, Wang Xiaohuan!"

Old Liu was not feeling good, but Feng Ruoxing was feeling even worse. From the moment she entered the door, Wang Xiaohuan had been looking at Feng Ruoxing with her cheek propped up in her hand, her eyes not moving at all. Feng Ruoxing felt awkward whether she stood or sat, and could only say in a low voice, "Can you not look at me?"

Wang Xiaohuan smiled and said, "How can I not look at such a beautiful sister?"

"To be honest, I even want to betray my sect and join Liangjie Tang. A house full of beautiful women,御-姐 (yù-jiě - mature women), 萝-莉 (luó-lì - lolita) alike, and each one is capable. Peerless swordsman, deadly poison doctor, sect-slaughtering grandmaster, martial arts master, you have everything. I plan to move into Liangjie Tang and never leave."

Feng Ruoxing swallowed. "You're also a girl, right?"

"Girls like to look at beautiful women even more," Wang Xiaohuan said. "Moreover, they can justifiably touch their闺蜜 (guī mì - female besties) whenever they want. Like me and Dou Dou. Don't look at her always pulling out her knife, when we're together..."

"Dou Dou? Wang Butcher?" Feng Ruoxing felt like she was going crazy.

Just when Feng Ruoxing was about to collapse, Wang Xiaohuan's eyes suddenly darkened. "The opponent is here."

As Feng Ruoxing looked up, the sound of bells jingling came from outside the courtyard. Feng Ruoxing frowned and said, "Corpse-controlling bells?"

Wang Xiaohuan's expression also darkened. "To dare send the Corpse-Controlling Sect to find my family's ancestor, the Corpse-Controlling Sect Master must be tired of living, right?"

It wasn't just Wang Xiaohuan who thought the other party was tired of living, but also Feng Ruoxing. However, Feng Ruoxing's idea was to quickly kill the opponent so she could rush back to Liangjie Tang and avoid being stared at by Wang Xiaohuan.

As Feng Ruoxing stood up, the sound of the corpse-controlling bells outside surged in from all directions—the Corpse-Controlling Sect had surrounded the Wang Family Courtyard.
