"His head exploded?"

Cultivators are extremely wary of being ambushed at close range during combat.

Most cultivators skilled in long-range spellcasting either seek protection or find a secluded location before casting their spells to launch a sneak attack.

Very few spellcasters can directly confront a martial artist; only those who have broken through the norm, such as Divine Lord Zhenyuan, possess such abilities.

Zuo Jin clearly doesn't possess this ability; even Zuo Jin undergoing modifications and improvements, the opponent's limits remain the same.

Based on a simple location via communicator, Zhou Rihui stormed in very quickly.

Zhang Xuezhou watched as the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and the heavy rain turned into scattered showers. He then turned his attention to Zuo Jin, who had a flower Zuo Jin on his head.

When his gaze swept over the Zuo Jin Jin's body, he saw that Zuo Jin's hands and legs were like entwined roots, making his whole body look extremely strange.

Struck by Zhou Rihui's heavy punch, Zuo Jin's body showed a clear dent, and his bones were broken in an instant.

When Ren Anran's Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, his Zuo Jin. Not only did his spellcasting and control fail and backfire, but his mind also became extremely abnormal.

"Who are you?"

Ren Anran murmured softly, as if pulling at a soul, constantly guiding and manipulating it.

"Zuo... Zuo... Ba'er..."

Intermittent sounds came from the Zuo Jin, carrying with them resistance, struggle, and a seductive undertone.

Where is Huang Daoxian?

Perhaps realizing that she was extremely difficult to control, Ren Anran's first sentence was to guide the confirmation of identity, while the second sentence went straight to the point.

"Yellow... Zodiac... Ah~"

The sound of Huang Daoxian broke Zuo Jin's struggle, and seemed to bring with it countless fears and pain.

"It wasn't that I wanted to kill Ron, it was that he wanted to devour me to complete the evolution of the Seven Star Plant. I had no choice but to resist. I didn't mean to, please, Master, spare me... spare me!"

Compared to his previous stuttering voice, Zuo Jin's voice became incredibly fluent after being stimulated by the name Huang Daoxian, and he forcefully struggled to break free from Ren Anran's control.

However, after breaking free from control, Zuo Jin did not regain his senses but instead fell into repentance and begging for mercy.

Before Zhang Xuezhou and the others could even ask him questions, Zuo Jin had already confessed almost everything.

Where is your owner?

A blush crept across Ren Anran's face, and she took a deep breath, her eyes filled with wariness.

Ren Anran had heard about Huang Daoxian and knew about the many methods Zhang Xuezhou and others had used against him, but her close contact with him undoubtedly gave her a profound experience.

The Zuo Jin, was merely Huang Daoxian's servant, but his mental strength was in no way inferior to Ren Anran's.

They took full advantage of the surprise attack, and their identities and strength were kept secret from the enemy, which allowed them to defeat Zuo Jin in a short time.

However, if the opponent gains the upper hand and launches a surprise attack, the situation might be entirely different.

She worked hard to calm the turbulent feeling of power after the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique was broken, and then quickly asked Zuo Jin about it.

"Don't be so smug! Non-Self hadn't offended my master, I wouldn't have fallen so low as to be dealt with by you!"

When Ren Anran asked again, Zuo Jin suddenly raised his head and stared, and a blurry, desperate face materialized from the flower on his head.

"Zuo Jin, where is your master?" Ren Anran asked again.

"No one can find him, no one can find him, but he can see everything we do at all times," Zuo Jin and the flower-faced man replied simultaneously, "I will be punished to death by my master, and you will surely follow me closely!"

"If he were omnipotent, how come he's been confined to one corner of the world for decades or even centuries!"

Just as Ren Anran was struggling to get the results, Zhang Xuezhou's voice drifted over from outside the research institute.

Perhaps having fully confirmed that the current situation was caused by Zuo Jin and did not involve other risks, Zhang Xuezhou, who was in charge of covering the rear, also appeared at the glass entrance of the research institute.

"Is that you?" Zuo Jin up and asked.

"It's me!" Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

"You came here last night. Did you go to Dongshan last night? Did you see Zuo Luo at the Luo Li Emperor's Mausoleum?" Zuo Jin asked.

"Yes!"

Did he send you to kill me?

"Yes!"

What started as Zhang Xuezhou asking Zuo Jin a question turned Zuo Jin a rapid exchange between Zuo Jin and Zhang Xuezhou.

After a brief conversation, Zuo Jin knelt on the ground and let out cries that sounded like sobs.

Zhang Xuezhou and the others could tolerate Zuo Jin's behavior, but Zhou Rihui clearly couldn't, and directly slapped Zuo Jin several times.

Zuo Jin no resistance, howling like a dying lone wolf as he continued to confess and repent.

"What should we do?" Ren Anran asked.

"To die or to live?" Zhou Rihui asked, frowning.

Not only was Zuo Jin's appearance extremely frightening, but the situation of the Zuo Household was equally shocking.

Unbeknownst to them, hundreds of people living in the Zuo Household area vanished without a trace, their remains transformed into something neither human nor ghost.

Zuo Jin is clearly the culprit behind everything that's happening to the Zuo Household. If he weren't still of value, Zhou Rihui would have killed him long ago, poured oil on him, and burned him to ashes.

"Either you die now, or we'll cooperate with you to deal with Huang Daoxian and give you a chance to live. Which path do you choose?"

Zhang Xuezhou quickly dialed Ren Yisheng's number and then Zuo Jin to Zuo Jin, whose head was smashed.

"No one can kill him, none of you can kill him. Whether I cooperate with you or not, you will all die!" Zuo Jin shouted in terror.

"Is he relying on immortality?"

Zhang Xuezhou asked softly, which Zuo Jin looking incredulous.

"As long as we find the gem that Huang Daoxian entrusted with immortality, he will die even if he is killed," Zhang Xuezhou whispered.

How do you know so much?

Zuo Jin's eyes widened.

Zhang Xuezhou only said two simple sentences, but these were things that Zuo Jin had never known before. He only knew that Huang Daoxian was incredibly powerful and controlled the lives of these living beings at all times.

Zuo Jin never thought about how to kill Huang Daoxian. Even when Huang Daoxian fought back and killed Zuo Luo, Zuo Jin only wanted to turn the Zuo Household into his own domain, so that he would have a little time to explain and beg for mercy if he resisted.

His expression shifted back and forth between his two faces as he stared intently at Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, trying to glean even a tiny bit of answer from him.

"If I cooperate with you to target him, how can you guarantee my survival, instead of me being used and then dying completely?" Zuo Jin asked with difficulty.

"You should know that we can't control that area of Qinmeng, nor do we care who's in Qinmeng," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You will exile me to Qinmeng?"

Zuo Jin asked a question, then lowered his head again.

Zuo Jin can go to many places, but no matter where Zuo Jin escapes, there is a master above his head who can track him down.

He can only be safe once his master is gone.

The Scarlet Alliance State would not allow such a creature to exist, but the Scarlet Alliance State over the Qinmeng region.

Zuo Jin shook his head vigorously. Human thoughts collided and merged with his original thoughts, giving rise to all sorts of unusual thoughts.

Placed in the tomb of Emperor Luo Yan in the Dongshan Imperial Mausoleum, he was Huang Daoxian's loyal subordinate, who could continue to work day after day for decades or even centuries.

But once he merged Zuo Jin Jin's body and entered Western Capital City, he lost his former purity.

Zuo Jin, his face painted with graffiti, tried hard to recall what had happened, realizing that his fate had changed when those committee members inspected the imperial tombs.

One step after another, and we've reached this dead end.
