So when Chao Zhao fell asleep, Ji Shu was being supported by two teammates to face the thing he feared.

When Chao Zhao walked out of the room the next day, Ji Shu completely collapsed in the pavilion, as if all his energy had been sucked away all night.

Chao Zhao glanced inside the pavilion but did not see Fu Xunying.

Wen Lianchong explained: "She heard that there was other movement from the Shen family master, so she went to inquire."

He nodded to Zhao and sat down on the stone chair.

Turning her head to look at Ji Shu who was in a miserable state, she handed him a spiritual fruit with pity.

"Make up for it."

"hehe."

Ji Shu lay on the table and sneered, "It's too late."

Chao Zhao simply ignored him and turned to ask Wen Lianchong: "What did you find?"

"They were all sucked dry just like the previous servants, except that the two holes on Shen Feng's body appeared on his neck. The same was true for the guards in his yard."

"Shen Feng's spiritual power is gone too?"

He raised his eyebrow at Zhao.

When an ordinary cultivator dies, the spiritual energy in his body does not completely dissipate immediately. The richer and more powerful the spiritual energy is, the longer it takes to dissipate.

After the death of some great men in the world of immortal cultivation, the spiritual power in their bodies is so enormous that by chance, the spiritual power of heaven and earth can be connected to form a secret realm.

However, for someone like Shen Feng, who was supported by the Shen family with financial resources, it is estimated that the physical ability can only last for half a day.

"Gone."

Wen Lianchong said confidently, "Not only Shen Feng, but even those guards who were sent to protect him and had higher cultivation than him, their spiritual energy was sucked dry. There is not a single trace of spiritual energy left at the scene."

Chao Zhao sighed: "Draining spiritual energy, it sounds like the practice of evil cultivators."

Evil cultivators use some unorthodox "shortcuts" to increase their cultivation, but most of these methods are unclear and against the laws of nature, and they can cost them their lives if they are not careful.

Absorbing the spiritual power of others for personal use is a method of cultivation that most evil cultivators desire, but there has not yet been an evil cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation who can successfully practice this method, and most of the rumors are just hearsay.

At this time, Fu Xunying hurriedly ran in from outside the courtyard.

She took a few breaths and said impatiently, "There's something new."

Hearing this, the three people in the pavilion looked over.

"The head of the Shen family found a Buddhist practitioner from somewhere to summon the soul of Shen Feng and perform a resurrection ceremony."

"He's crazy?!"

Ji Shu was stunned. "Let's not talk about whether the soul-recalling ritual is true or not. The soul-recalling ritual is a forbidden technique in the world of immortal cultivation!"

Wen Lianchong said calmly: "Obviously, he is indeed crazy."

After waiting for so many years for an heir, he was finally killed without any reason. It would be strange if the head of the Shen family was not crazy.

Fu Xunying nodded: "Shen Jiao and other disciples from aristocratic families are trying to persuade him, and some even say that the Buddhist cultivator is an evil cultivator, but I don't know what has possessed Patriarch Shen, he insists on doing it."

"spiritualism?"

Zhao Zhao suddenly stood up, with a big smile on his face, "Good job."

Under the puzzled gazes of others, she was the first to walk out of the pavilion: "Let's go and see what's going on."

......

The news that the head of the Shen family was summoning spirits quickly spread throughout the Shen family.

Thanks to his previous arrogant behavior, no one in the Shen family except Shen Jiao dared to dissuade him at this time.

After their persuasion failed, the group of disciples from aristocratic families were too lazy to care about anything for a while and just waited to see the Shen family make a fool of themselves.

Shen Jiao was a little anxious.

She was walking around in her yard, and when she saw Shen Mingyue coming in, she asked hurriedly, "Have you found out where this Buddhist cultivator came from?"

"I found it."

Shen Mingyue nodded obediently, "That Buddhist cultivator suddenly appeared in the city early in the morning and said that there was a ghost in the Shen family. When the head of the family heard it, he thought it was Shen Feng."

"Humph."

Shen Jiao sneered disdainfully, "Shen Feng is dead, but he still refuses to give up. In this case, then go down and accompany his precious son."

Shen Mingyue: "Sister, it's too early now."

"Of course I know."

Shen Jiao glanced at her and said in an unhappy tone, "Do I need you to remind me?"

"Yes, Mingyue knows she is wrong."

Shen Mingyue lowered her head obediently, keeping a low profile.

Shen Jiao snorted again and looked away with satisfaction.

I have to say that Shen Mingyue is indeed a very useful knife. It is a pity to use her as a scapegoat.

When Chao Zhao and others arrived at the lively scene, the head of the Shen family was leading the Buddhist practitioner around Shen Feng's yard.

The head of the Shen family looked different from yesterday. His hair was disheveled, his eye sockets were a little sunken, and he looked a little crazy.

He looked anxious and asked the Buddhist cultivator who was mumbling something with an unpredictable expression: "Master, have you found any trace of Feng'er?"

"Ugh."

The Buddhist monk shook his head, then he looked up at the sky, "It's still early, Master Shen, please make other preparations first. We will be able to summon Master Ling to come in the evening."

"Okay, okay..."

The head of the Shen family said several good things in a row, and then ordered the housekeeper beside him to go down and prepare the things that the Buddhist practitioner would need.

Chao Zhao listened for a while.

Ni Renshen, Xuewu, Guilingzi...are all precious medicinal herbs. More importantly, these herbs all have very strong side effects.

In addition, the Buddhist cultivator also asked the head of the Shen family to prepare the Soul-Returning Banner and the Thousand-Faced Mirror, some spiritual weapons that even the Shen family would find difficult to obtain.

But the head of the Shen family doesn't care about these.

He immediately agreed: "Master, rest assured, I will prepare everything for you tonight!"

The Buddhist monk nodded with satisfaction: "In this case, I will do my best."

The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily, and she murmured lightly: "...So the real evil cultivator is here."

The eyes of this Buddhist cultivator were cloudy, unlike the clear and transparent eyes of those Buddhist cultivators in Amaterasu Temple. Not to mention that the aura from him made Chao Zhao feel uncomfortable whenever he approached him.

So when the head of the Shen family and the Buddhist monks passed by her, she suddenly called out to him, "Master, please stay."

The Buddhist monk's inquiring eyes fell on her.

"......This fellow Taoist?"

"Master, I have been feeling unlucky lately. Do you have any solution to this problem?"

A trace of thought flashed across the Buddhist cultivator's eyes, and then he smiled apologetically: "Sorry, benefactor, I, the Buddha, believe in fate."

——The implication is that you didn’t give enough.

Zhao Zhao blinked: "Really? The Ji family is behind me. I can find anything you want."

Ji Shu, who was originally in a depressed mood, suddenly woke up and was frightened when he heard Chao Zhao's words.

Whenever Chao Zhao brought up the Ji family, it was always something bad.

When he heard about the Ji family, the Buddhist cultivator, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly brightened up.

He paused for a moment, maintaining an unfathomable look as he comforted her: "Don't worry, benefactor. I'm here to keep the evil spirits at bay."
