Pu Pan Nan was bewildered.
"My dear Lord Zuo Ci, do you want to hear what you are saying right now? Just leave me alone!"
Zuo Ci waved his hand dismissively, "Hand over your junior's belongings and Chen Ba Zi to me!"
Without any hesitation, Pu Pan Nan produced the response from Eighteen Years Old. He handed over his junior's hair and Chen Ba Zi, even including a photograph. He was genuinely afraid of Zuo Ci.
A person's reputation casts a long shadow. Zuo Ci was ruthless, not to mention he particularly enjoyed rolling his enemies' ashes into cigarettes. Such methods were so sinister that even he, as a practitioner of the Evil Path, found them unsettling.
In the dense forest, Zuo Ci affixed the photograph of Pu Pan Nan's junior onto a blood-soaked stone tablet and then inserted four incense sticks.
Huo Yang Shi, ragged and covered in bits of flesh and grease, knelt stiffly before the stone tablet. Zuo Ci intoned:
"One bow, flesh rots.
Two bows, souls perish.
Three bows, spirits dissipate.
Four bows, essences scatter.
Five bows, descendants cut off.
Six bows, kinship lost.
Seven bows, not entering Fengdu."
With each line he recited, the stiff Huo Yang Shi bowed heavily toward the stone tablet. By the time he finished the seven incantations, the photograph on the tablet had already begun to yellow.
In the distance, at Nanyang West Port Villa Complex, a short man with dark skin and a face covered in festering sores covered his face in despair.
He ran madly towards the door. With each step, bits of flesh fell from his body. His intestines and organs trailed behind him.
In the dense forest, Zuo Ci moved his fingers, calculating for a moment. He smiled and said, "Done!"
Huo Yang Shi knelt before the stone tablet, letting out a low sob. "Your father gave me money and then crashed into my face, thirty-seven thousand eight hundred, plus a life. This cause and effect, I, Zuo Ci, have accepted!"
Zuo Ci skillfully pulled out a wooden cigarette case from his pants pocket. The surface of the case was intricately carved with black Sanskrit characters, and inside were neatly rolled cigarettes. He lit one and exhaled a cloud of murky smoke. "Huang Yimeng, if you want to survive in this world, then come with me. If you want to accompany your father, the third mound of earth over there is his. It's your choice to stay or go!"
Huo Yang Shi let out a series of howls. "Are you saying you want to live?"
Zuo Ci grinned widely. "Interesting, truly interesting!"
Huo Yang Shi nodded vigorously, continuing to howl.
"You mean you want to be like me?" Zuo Ci asked in surprise. "That might be a bit difficult; after all, I never kill!"
Huo Yang Shi seemed momentarily stunned, unable to comprehend.
"Alright then, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I suppose this counts as accumulating some good karma for myself!" Zuo Ci agreed.
And so, one man and one corpse walked out of the dense forest.
In Tongcheng, at the Public Security Bureau's Thirteenth Division.
"What? A Nanyang Exorcist reported that someone wants to harm him?"
Isn't that ridiculous! And they want us to send him back to Nanyang? Does he even have an extradition treaty? Damn it! Just detain him!
A middle-aged man in a black uniform rubbed his temples and hung up the phone. What nonsense!
Before long, two young men in identical black uniforms brought the disheveled Pu Pan Nan back to the Public Security Bureau.
The middle-aged man who had answered the call narrowed his eyes. "Pu Pan Nan? Nanyang's Top Ten Sorcerers?"
Pu Pan Nan looked at the imposing middle-aged man and nodded eagerly. "Government! I'm truly delighted to see you all!"
The middle-aged man was taken aback and glanced at the young men holding him. One of them stepped forward toward the middle-aged man named Human Face.
In a low voice, he said, "This guy is highly cooperative. We didn't even have to put handcuffs on him; he just grabbed them and put them on himself, even getting into the detention vehicle before us. Looking at his expression, it seems like he's actually happy to be caught!"
Damn it!
The middle-aged man glanced suspiciously at the words "Public Security Bureau" and "Thirteenth Division" behind him. He almost thought he was in a foreign guesthouse!
"Do you know where you are?" For the first time, the middle-aged man felt a bit uncertain.
"Pu Pan Nan" smiled respectfully and said, "Report to the government, I know you are from the Thirteenth Division, an agency that deals with crimes committed using evil practices. The principle is to confess for leniency and resist for severity. I confess; I am guilty!"
"Did I ask you about any of this?" The middle-aged man looked at the young man beside him and said, "Is this how high the awareness is among Evil Practitioners these days? Learning to turn themselves in?"
The young man was also quite shocked. According to the records from the Thirteenth Division, this individual from Nanyang, Pu Pan Nan, was most skilled in Gui Jiang techniques and raising little ghosts. He was extremely lecherous and exceptionally brutal. He enjoyed casting spells on beautiful and wealthy married women, reaping both wealth and pleasure before killing them and dismembering their bodies to sink in iron boxes at the bottom of rivers! This guy also did some dirty work for certain officials in the Nanyang Government.
In the Mystical Circle of Nanyang, he had quite a notorious reputation.
"How come you're so cooperative now that you're here with us?"
"I certainly know you're guilty!" The middle-aged man slammed his hand on the table. "What heinous crime have you committed in our country?"
"I..." Pu Pan Nan thought for a moment and lamented, "It was a moment of folly, a moment of folly! Government, I truly am not human!"
The middle-aged man's nose almost crinkled in anger.
"This isn't under our Thirteenth Division's jurisdiction!" he retorted angrily.
"It wasn't consensual!"
Pu Pan Nan poured out his confession like beans from a bamboo tube. "I cast a spell on that beautiful woman; it wasn't her wish to sleep with me. I am guilty; arrest me! I plead guilty to Xiang Tou; this falls under your jurisdiction!"
Damn it!
The middle-aged man looked at Pu Pan Nan and increasingly felt that this guy had a few screws loose. However, it was clear that the other party had indeed used Xiang Tou; this was Evil Arts. The purpose of the Public Security Bureau's Thirteenth Division was to prohibit anyone involved in Cultivation from imposing spells on civilians, forcing them to act against their own will.
"Investigate this matter. If there's any truth to it, handle it accordingly!" the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
Pu Pan Nan nearly jumped up in excitement. He turned to the young man beside him and respectfully said, "Thank you, government! I love you all!"
"Take him away!" The middle-aged man could no longer tolerate it. In the past, those who entered the Thirteenth Division were either despondent or fiercely resistant. This was the first time he encountered a criminal like Pu Pan Nan, who was so cooperative that it left the head of the Thirteenth Division, Dong E Lai, utterly bewildered.
Dong E Lai remarked, "This is truly a surprise; I never expected the Nanyang Sorcerers to be so well-mannered now."
"Dong Ke, I find that hard to believe!" The young man detaining Pu Pan Nan shook his head. "This guy just entered the country three days ago. Last month in Nanyang, he even used emotional manipulation on a high-ranking official's wife. I heard it caused quite a stir."
Rumor has it that exclusive videos of the Nanyang Sorcerer battling with government officials' wives were circulating within our circles—guaranteed authentic!
"What the hell!"
"What the hell!"
Both Dong E Lai and another young man cursed simultaneously.
Dong E Lai asked, "Immediately track down and eliminate the source of these videos! If this gets out, it would be disastrous!"
"Yes, boss!" The young man nodded.
"And what are you cursing about?" Dong E Lai turned to his apprentice.
"Is it authentic?" The young man chuckled.
"Get lost!"
The voice of Dong E Lai echoed throughout the Thirteenth Division.
