Inside the cinema, the screen flickered on and off, but Lin Yue's physical body had been developed to the mortal limit, so he could still barely see clearly.

He could tell that Master Fang's frozen expression and eyes at the time of death were filled with panic and reluctance, with one hand reaching forward as if trying to grasp something, akin to an abandoned child.

"Abandoned by the Buddha Mother of Killing?"

Lin Yue thoughtfully examined Master Fang and suddenly noticed that the latter's other hand was on his chest collar, as if trying to take something out.

With interest, he stepped forward and used his toe to flip Master Fang's body over, then tore open the neck of the clothing.

A mutton-fat jade pendant appeared before him, carved in the shape of what seemed to be a Bodhisattva or a Buddha statue, with a faintly visible drop of crimson blood pearl inside the jade.

"Oh?"

Lin Yue sensed the pendant's extraordinariness, casually pulled it off, and inspected it "Is this the Buddha Mother of Killing?"

At that moment, the Buddha Mother of Killing carved on the jade pendant suddenly shed two lines of blood tears.

Meanwhile, the drop of fresh blood inside the pendant also vanished.

Simultaneously, he faintly heard a voice accompanied by chant-like singing, seemingly calling to him.

"Hmm?" Lin Yue frowned slightly.

Although his divine soul was of extremely high quality, comparable to a strong practitioner proving the way, he was still merely a mortal now and couldn't quite understand what was happening.

He could only sense that this pendant was vaguely connected to a colossal will.

"There must be a big secret in the Yanfu World."

Lin Yue frowned, "Why did that mysterious presence, seemingly the master of Yanfu, specially prepare such a physical body for me?"

He couldn't help but glance at Master Fang's corpse, slightly shaking his head, "It's a pity this guy died too quickly; otherwise, I could have found out a lot from him."

After all, he hadn't expected the opponent to die from backlash like that.

However, it didn't matter.

From the conversation between this Master Fang and that woman in the cheongsam, it was evident that there were surely more such strange individuals.

And the so-called 'Evil Extinguishing Bureau.'

"This left-path sorcery seems to have something worthwhile too; it would be best to learn a comprehensive set, preferably connected directly to the native deities of the Yanfu World."

Lin Yue put away the jade pendant and turned to leave.

...

That evening.

When Lin Yue returned home, Madam Lin had already passed away. Although the third-floor terrace of the mansion wasn't high, it was more than ten meters, and it was quite normal for a mortal to die on the spot from a fall without enough skill.

No one suspected it had anything to do with him, and they prepared to bury Madam Lin that day.

In the mourning hall, Lin Yue felt a bit wistful.

He had given Madam Lin a chance to live, but her luck was just average, and there was nothing to be done about it.

Father Lin knew that Lin Yue went out in the family car during the day but didn't have the mood to ask much and didn't let Lin Yue keep vigil.

That night.

"Hmm?"

On the third floor, while Lin Yue slept soundly in his bedroom, he suddenly heard a strange sound like teeth grinding, and a peculiar shuffling of footsteps in the hallway outside the door.

Then, with a creak, the bedroom door opened.

In the pitch dark, Lin Yue opened his eyes and saw a vague silhouette standing by his bedside.

The silhouette seemed familiar, a woman.

Lin Yue frowned slightly, looking at the shadow standing by his bed.

Could it be Madam Lin, who had already fallen to her death?

He said in a low voice "Feigning ghosts and spirits, I know you can see me, did you specifically come to find me?"

Although he didn't understand how mere mortals could turn a corpse into something like a refined corpse, he could feel another gaze that did not belong to this body.

In the darkness, Madam Lin pointed in the direction outside the window, as if indicating for him to go out.

Lin Yue said nothing, opened the window immediately, and jumped down. From ten meters high, he merely used the wall protrusions along the way to buffer twice and landed steadily.

Although everyone had a mortal's body, he had learned martial arts, and his ability to utilize and develop the power of the body far exceeded these mortals.

The most basic refining power like silk, perfect unity, is fundamental in martial arts, even a mortal can use it.

Without the threat of firearms and foreign guns, even a hundred people with weapons couldn't defeat him.

After landing, Lin Yue quickly came to the wall, lightly leapt over the more than three meters high wall.

Then, following Madam Lin's direction, he proceeded about a hundred meters to a rather dim alley.

At the end of the alley, there was only one house.

Lin Yue pondered for a moment and then walked over.

Suddenly—

A series of soft footsteps sounded, and silhouettes walked in from the outside of the alley, surrounding him inside.

When the door at the end of the alley opened, two figures walked out.

One was a middle-aged man in a gray-blue long gown, looking like a teacher, with facial features that vaguely resembled Master Fang under the moonlight.

Behind him followed a tall and sturdy man wearing a bamboo hat.

Lin Yue glanced back under the moonlight, seeing the figures walking in from outside the alley, each without the slightest breath, lifeless, merely refined corpses.

Just like the burly man behind that middle-aged man with the bamboo hat, all were refined corpses.

"I didn't expect you to come out so confidently."

The middle-aged man, a bit pale, stared at Lin Yue and said "I had several tricks prepared, didn't expect to use none; it seems you do have some skills."

"What is your relationship with that Master Fang?" Lin Yue asked calmly.
