As for the middle-aged cultivator with formidable demonic arts, Tan Shuchang neither admitted nor denied that the man had mistaken him for his junior brother. Their conversation ended on something of a sour note.
The man forbade Tan Shuchang from approaching Bamboo Grove Residence, where the righteous-path cultivators had gathered. He also demanded that, for Ning Shuqi's sake as half his grandnephew, Tan Shuchang was not to make another move against Ning Shuqi.
That was precisely why the middle-aged cultivator had taken the initiative to reveal himself.
The sense of threat Tan Shuchang gave him was simply too intense. He was not confident he could kill Tan Shuchang if he attacked, so he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Otherwise, merely for daring to lay a hand on his nephew Ning Shuqi, he would have skinned Tan Shuchang alive and pulled out his tendons.
After all, he was a demonic cultivator, the personal disciple of the former master of the Demon Sect!
He was also the infamous Clumsy Demon of those years!
By then, Tan Shuchang had already left Peach Blossom Wonderland.
Because the Weird Game was calling for him.
Tan Shuchang had no way to refuse. After all, there were fierce ghosts there that he coveted. In the Jia Five Realm, with the Netherworld present, forget fierce ghosts—even wandering souls were difficult to find.
The reason he had managed to find eight wandering souls in Yue Prefecture was only because there were some people there whom the Zixuan Dynasty had labeled "unruly commoners."
Since they had not been registered by the imperial court, even the yin officials had trouble locating them.
Tan Shuchang arrived in the Weird Game world, only to discover that he was not entering an instance this time.
