The moment I met Xie Yueling’s eyes, a cold light flashed within them. Her car, like an arrow released from a bow, suddenly crashed towards me.

Dust, kicked up by the wheels, flew into the air. My twin blades were simultaneously unsheathed. I held the hilts in reverse grip, the tips pointing towards the ground, raising them flat in front of me.

As the wheels advanced another meter, I tapped my feet on the ground, soaring into the air. My knees tucked towards my chest, my form curled like a ball, I somersaulted forward. The twin blades spun into two streams of light, one black, one white, on either side of my body.

This move, "Rat Rolling in Hot Oil," was a common escape technique, but I was using it as a killing move. As my curved blades whirled across the car's roof, a series of sparks erupted around me. The sharp edges of my blades had torn two gashes into the car's metal roof.

When I landed, I flung both hands behind me in unison. The curved blades flew backward. The moment a pair of ghost claws on the backs of the blades crashed into the roof, the Soul-Chasing Cord arrived close behind.

The instant the two dragon mouths on the Soul-Chasing Cord locked onto the hilts, I exerted force with my arms, pulling back tautly. The car roof, already cut open by the blades, was ripped off and thrown to the ground.

As I wanted to pursue, the car stopped. Ye Yang and I appeared beside the car almost simultaneously, but only Xie Yueling remained inside. The black-skirted woman had vanished.

I dragged Xie Yueling from the car and unceremoniously tossed her to Lin Zhao, "Carry her. Let's retreat back to a safe place before anything else.”

At that moment, the only place that could be considered safe was our car. Feng Ruoxing had placed spiritual charms around it, preventing ordinary ghosts from approaching.

I brought Xie Yueling to the car. "Talk! What exactly is going on?"

"I can't say!" Xie Yueling shook her head. "If I want to save my father, I can't tell you anything. Please, just leave! I'm begging you."

"Look at me!" I shouted sternly. Xie Yueling subconsciously looked up, meeting my violet-glowing ghost eyes.

However, Xie Yueling only paused for a few seconds before regaining her senses. "Li Po, why are you so annoying? Aren't you exorcists? Why do you accept jobs without a client?"

"I'm firing you. Don't bother me again!"

I sneered, "How ironic! I'm the kind of person who does exactly what others don't want me to do! Feng Ruoxing, tie her up and gag her mouth. No one is allowed to release her before dawn."

I stared intently into Xie Yueling's eyes, saying each word distinctly, "I want to see if Xie Sanbao can live until dawn! Tie her up!"

Before Xie Yueling could speak, Feng Ruoxing struck her pressure points. Feng Ruoxing followed my instructions, tying Xie Yueling securely and stuffing her mouth with a towel.

Lin Zhao wanted to say something, but I glared fiercely at him, and he swallowed his words.

I turned and walked towards Dabing. I hadn't intended to bring Dabing back, but who knew that Ye Yang would drag him back.

I looked Dabing up and down. "Not dead, are you? If you're not dead, you can leave."

Dabing hesitated for a long time before saying, "You're just letting me go like that?"

"If I don't let you go, am I supposed to keep you at Liangjie Hall for free meals? Get lost!" I truly wanted to chase this guy away. His presence would easily delay my handling of important matters.

Dabing took two steps. "You're really just letting me go? You don't want to know what the Coffin Gate has done?"

I glanced at him. "What else could they have done? Nothing more than taking advantage of our being taken to the police station to sneak into the Xie family villa and tamper with the living room."

"The place where you tampered was in the living room. You drove wooden wedges carved with runes into the sofa, which is why I almost fell for it. Am I right?"

Dabing exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Is it difficult?" I turned around. "You forgot, the supernatural powers of ghosts and deities aren't a hodgepodge pieced together. Under normal circumstances, a ghost or deity will only have one kind of supernatural power, and at most, no more than three."

"Regardless of whether that woman is Xingcha Po, she can only kill with wells. Do you think I would believe in a second supernatural power that suddenly appeared?"

Dabing whispered, "So, you lured us here to be scapegoats?"

"That's right!"

I couldn't be bothered to explain so much to Dabing.

When I came out of the Xie family villa, I understood the Coffin Gate's objective.

They must have discovered a crucial clue from another angle. If they wanted to target the Xie family, they had to get me out of the way first.

Therefore, the Coffin Gate adopted a two-pronged approach, deliberately disrupting my vision while trying to make Xie Yueling think we were unreliable, prompting her to drive me away.

If the Coffin Gate's plan succeeded, even if Xie Yueling didn't chase me away, I would still be going around in circles, constantly pondering the origin of the black-clothed woman. As long as the Coffin Gate stalled me for a day or two, it would be enough time for them to finish the job.

It's just that the people from the Coffin Gate didn't expect that the most crucial clue was actually on Xie Yueling.

I waved my hand at Dabing. "Alright, you've asked what you needed to ask. Hurry up and leave!"

"No!" Dabing said extremely earnestly, "You saved me. I have to repay this favor!"
