"So it really is a narrow road for enemies to meet—running into him here?"
Lu Yusheng spotted Zhou Xuan heading upstairs.
He had already intended to kill Zhou Xuan. Encountering him here was nothing short of perfect.
"Saves me the trouble of hunting him down."
...
At Old He's house, lay six corpses of Horned Ghost Disciples.
Only the Hall Master Lin Qian and Lin Xia, who had gifted Zhou Xuan the Bone Teeth, remained—both injured.
Especially Lin Xia; her white paper men, nurtured for years, were shredded to bits.
The Horned Ghost faction doesn't cultivate bone teeth; the paper men are their sole weapon against enemies. Now that the paper men were destroyed, Lin Xia was like a tiger stripped of its fangs—virtually devoid of any threat.
