The Headless Scholar

The unclean spots in the Mass Grave did not even require Da Bao's senses—they were simply far too obvious.

Even Chu Danqing could easily sense them.

Following that sensation, they quickly found a headless corpse.

Its flesh had already rotted away, leaving only stark white bones.

After Chu Danqing arrived, a venomous feeling of being watched inexplicably emerged.

He was certain that the Scholar was watching him, Zheng San at his feet, and the prefectural governor.

There was no need to think about it. It had to be that Fierce Ghost.

Before Chu Danqing could speak, a gust of yin wind swept past.

Not long after, the figure of the Pig-headed Scholar slowly emerged.

The surging resentment surrounding it was mixed with divine power, allowing it to target not only humans, but even kill gods.

The False Body was powered by divine power, so it was as rigid as a god.

But as the true body, divine power was merely one of its powers and would not affect its movements.

At the same time, that divine power should also be the key to controlling it.

The prefectural governor intended to use it to settle accounts and offer it as a gift, so he certainly could not present Zhang Shanfu with an uncontrollable Fierce Ghost.

As for how it was controlled, Chu Danqing did not know.

He only knew that its reason had been completely corroded by resentment, turning it into a killing machine.

Fortunately, it still had some reaction. At the very least, it could recognize its own enemies.

As the yin wind assaulted them, Zheng San and the prefectural governor shuddered awake.

Zheng San screamed in terror, scrambling away in a panic.

But the Pig-headed Scholar caught up to him and bit away half his body in one mouthful.
