Persuading Zang Tianji was a very troublesome matter.

Wang Butcher once told me: Even the most aloof goddess has emotional fluctuations. If you can stir her emotions, you can pluck at her heartstrings.

Getting Zang Tianji half to death wouldn't be a problem, but plucking that string in her heart?

Don't be silly. I've never even plucked cotton, let alone a zither.

I could only try to persuade her from the perspective of利益 (lìyì, benefit), but the problem was, she didn't seem interested in benefits.

While I was still trying to persuade Zang Tianji, she suddenly raised her head and turned her face towards the window.

If Zang Tianji's eyes weren't still covered with a white cloth, I would have even thought she had seen something.

When I turned my head in the same direction as Zang Tianji, I saw an old man with a cane standing on the roof of the opposite house. Although he was hunched over, he stood lightly on the roof.

He looked like a raccoon cat squatting on the eaves, crouching and gathering strength, watching Zang Tianji with a pair of emotionless eyes.

At this moment, the people from the Reincarnation Division had also discovered him.

Instantly, they surrounded the house where the old man was.

The old man seemed unable to see the menacing術道 (shù dào, esoteric arts) experts. His eyes were fixed on Zang Tianji's direction. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Those with complete fate are uninteresting, uninteresting..."

"Capture him!" As soon as Lü Jiantong raised his hand, the old man turned around and pointed at Lü Jiantong with the cane in his hand: "You will die in a water tank."

The moment before, Lü Jiantong, who was giving the order to attack, turned pale in an instant, and his whole body froze in place.

The old man turned to look at Cai Wenyan: "You will die without a complete corpse..."

The old man hesitated for a moment before saying, "You will die on the rafters!"

Zang Tianji suddenly stood up: "Don't listen to him, he is deciding your fate!"

Du Song immediately shouted: "Capture him!"

Four Reincarnation Division experts leaped up, wielding their sabers in the air, attacking the target from all directions.

The old man didn't even move: "The four of you will die by the blade."

A simple sentence, even less than two seconds, but in those two seconds, the four experts twisted the direction of their blades.

The intersecting blades of the four long sabers in the air were like the Chinese character "井" (jǐng, well), which happened to trap the old man in the space in the middle of the character. The blades that missed their target struck their companions' shoulders instead.

The four long sabers and four figures fell between the roofs. The old man disappeared from the spot like a ghost. Only then did the four Reincarnation Division experts simultaneously exert force to press down their blades. The bright blades slashed diagonally down along their companions' shoulders, stopping only when they had penetrated deep into their chests.

The four blood-soaked corpses supported each other and stood on the roof.

The Reincarnation Division's entire entourage stood dumbfounded in place, unable to make a sound. In the entire Qingyan Village, only the blood droplets dripping from the eaves like rain pattered in chaos.

After a long time, Du Song finally came back to his senses and walked towards the courtyard where we were: "Du Song requests an audience with Tianji-gongfeng (供奉, honored guest)."

Zang Tianji was about to speak, but as if she had thought of something, she turned to me and said, "Whether to let him in or not, you decide!"

I smiled lightly and said, "Since people have come to our door, how can we refuse them?"

Zang Tianji breathed a sigh of relief: "You should not come in for the time being, I don't want to be involved with your karma."

"The only thing I can tell you is: that old man is a Palm-Fate Ghost God. What he says is equivalent to deciding your fate."

"This village is the area where he is active. What he says in the village will definitely come true, and you will have no way to resist."

"If you want to live, you can only leave the village. However..."

Zang Tianji said, "That ghost god won't let you leave easily."

"I said that the third watch is your chance of survival. But that was before the Palm-Fate Ghost God appeared. Now he has disrupted the heavenly numbers in this space, and I can't calculate the chance of survival."

Du Song's face changed drastically outside the door: "Gongfeng, you are the leading fortune teller in the術道 (shù dào, esoteric arts). It is rumored that you have reached the realm of Heavenly Fate Master, can't you defy fate?"

Zang Tianji slightly clenched her blind cane: "I can't! At the third watch, let's break through separately! You better not follow me, it will be even more dangerous."

Du Song pondered slightly and said, "Gongfeng, I would like to exchange four first-class experts for your guard."

Zang Tianji's face turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Du Song straightened his body at this moment: "What I mean is, Li Po led us into Qingyan Village. He must know a way to leave. I hope that Gongfeng can focus on the big picture and hand over Li Po."

Before Zang Tianji could speak, my fingers lightly tapped on the table a few times. I was telling Ye Yang and Feng Ruoxing to break through separately.

As soon as my signal was sent, Zang Tianji said coldly, "What if I say no?"

"Then Du can only be rude!" As soon as Du Song took a step forward, Zang Tianji's blind cane slammed into the ground. The tip of the blind cane went into the ground an inch, and a cracking sound of wood splintering came from Zang Tianji's palm.

In the next moment, the blind cane, which was originally made of wood, burst open from the bottom up. The broken pieces of wood flew around like leaves in the wind. The inconspicuous blind cane also revealed its true form.
