Chapter 468 Flying Descent and Soul-Hooking 6

"Ah!" Shu Ning exclaimed in surprise. Everyone looked over and saw that Old Man Zhou's lower body had begun to turn to stone. He was unaware of this and was still staring at A Chu.

"There's a monster!" the onlookers cried out and scattered.

Zhou Sanyuan was originally with Song Zilong when he heard that his father was in trouble, so he rushed over.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Zhou Sanyuan asked in a panic, supporting the unsteady old man. "What happened?"

"Dad, what happened to you?" In a short while, the petrification had spread to his chest. Old Zhou felt short of breath and his face turned red.

He pointed at Achu, his fingers trembling, "He...he touched me!"

All eyes turned to Achu, who quickly waved his hand, "It's not my fault! I didn't do it!"

However, when his right hand was revealed, everyone hurriedly backed away.

"Still denying it was you? Look at your hands!" Zhou Sanyuan shouted angrily, pointing at Achu's petrified palm.

"What grudge does my father have against you? Why are you doing this to him?" With that, Zhou Sanyuan tried to rush over and hit Achu.

But even though Old Zhou was leaning on him, he didn't dare push his petrified father away.

All he could do was stare wide-eyed at Achu.

Achu stared blankly at her petrified hand, and loudly protested, "I really didn't hurt him! I don't know what happened!"

Mao Xiaofang stepped forward, checked on Old Zhou's condition, then looked at A Chu and asked sternly, "What did you touch?"

Ah Chu shook her head and cried out anxiously, "Master, I didn't touch anything!"

"With witnesses and physical evidence, what excuses do you have?" Mo's relatives were also in the crowd. When they saw the murderer, they were filled with both fear and hatred.

"Arrest him and shoot him!"

"Yes, blood must be paid for blood, avenge the Mo family!"

Amidst the fervor of the crowd, Achu looked fearfully at those who wished him dead, and pleaded for help from Mao Xiaofang.

"Master, it has nothing to do with me!"

"I don't know how things turned out this way. I had already..."

"Everyone, listen to me!" Mao Xiaofang looked at Achu and said loudly to everyone, "If Achu had done this, I would never have let him off the hook, but I know him, he wouldn't have done such a thing!"

"I will find the real murderer and bring peace to the spirits of the Mo family in heaven. Please believe me!"

"The apprentice committed murder, the master investigates the case, and you're the ones who get to say everything!" The Mo family's relatives retorted sarcastically, unconvinced.

"Everyone, don't worry!" Song Zilong stepped forward and said loudly, "Everyone knows how much Master Mao has done for Gantian Town. I think Master Mao is trustworthy!"

Song Zilong is the son of the police chief and is considered a top figure in the entire Gantian Town. How could the villagers dare to offend him?

After hearing his words, and considering that Mao Xiaofang had lived in Gantian Town for many years and knew him well, he reluctantly agreed.

……

Achu was taken to the police station, and Mao Xiaofang led everyone back to Fuxi Hall.

Shi Shaojian and Ren Yinyin, who were at the back, exchanged a glance. "Uncle-Master, do you now believe that Lei Gang had ill intentions?"

"It's not that my uncle couldn't think of it, he just didn't consider it that way!" Ren Yinyin said with a sigh.

It's clear from his uncle's behavior that the deeper his feelings for his master Lei Zhen, the more guilty he feels towards Lei Gang.

"Strike first and you'll be strong; strike later and you'll suffer!" Shi Shaojian said dismissively.

If anyone harbors ill intentions towards him, he will take action immediately and will not give anyone a chance to harm him!

"Uncle-Master won't retaliate unless Lei Gang makes the first move!"

The two had carefully observed Lei Gang for several days and discovered that every time he used the excuse of cultivation, he was actually using the Flying Head Curse to send his head out to suck sheep's blood.

Having confirmed the situation, Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian informed Mao Xiaofang.

Mao Xiaofang initially didn't believe that his senior brother would practice evil arts, but when he witnessed Lei Gang's head flying out at night, his heart sank!

Southeast Asian black magic is not all evil!

There are also sorcerers who can save people, but Lei Gang's behavior clearly indicates that he is not on the right path!

Mao Xiaofang wanted to find an opportunity to persuade Lei Gang to turn back from his wrong path and not be so stubborn, but unexpectedly, A Chu's incident happened!

Without anyone telling him, Mao Xiaofang knew in his heart that Lei Gang was the one who did this.

He returned to Fuxi Hall and went directly to Lei Gang's courtyard.

In the courtyard, Ah Xiu was sitting on a stone bench, lost in thought, while Lei Gang's door was tightly shut.

"Uncle-Master, what brings you here?" Ah Xiu stood up and asked nervously.

"Ah Xiu, is your father inside?" Mao Xiaofang took a deep breath and asked with a serious expression.

"Junior brother, come in!" As Lei Gang's voice rang out, the door opened, and Mao Xiaofang walked in without hesitation.

Mao Xiaofang didn't call Xiao Hai and Ren Yinyin to go in with him because he wanted to give Lei Gang one last chance.

So the group stood outside the courtyard looking at each other. Ah Xiu could tell something from their behavior, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at them.

No matter what his father said, no matter how much Mao Xiaofang wronged him, everything he did was right!

However, in Ah Xiu's opinion, even if her uncle had wronged her father, the other senior brothers and sisters had done nothing wrong!

She deceived them for her father's sake!

Seeing Ah Xiu's guilty and uneasy look, Ren Yinyin wanted to comfort her, but then felt that the time was not right.

The outcome of the conversation between my uncle and Lei Gang remains unknown!

"Haha, Mao Xiaofang, the thing I've always been ashamed of about you is your hypocrisy!" Lei Gang's maniacal laughter suddenly echoed from the room.

"Senior brother..."

"You think you're right? You think you're the righteous path?" Lei Gang's voice was gloomy. "Let me tell you, what's this talk of good and evil? The only truth in this world is that the strong rule!"

"There have never been any exceptions!"

"Senior brother, you have fallen into demonic possession!" Mao Xiaofang's voice rang out, filled with regret.

"Demon? Heh, if becoming a demon can give me everything, what difference does it make whether I become a demon or a Buddha?" Lei Gang said dismissively.

"Lei Gang, since you are so stubborn, then I have no choice but to clean house for my master!"

"Alright, I'd like to see how good your Maoshan magic is now!" Lei Gang was very jealous and resentful of the villagers of Gantian Town's high regard for Mao Xiaofang. If it were him, he would definitely do even better than Mao Xiaofang!

"Father!" Ah Xiu heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from the room and her heart tightened with anxiety. Without thinking, she shouted and ran straight towards the room.

Seeing this, Xiao Hai rushed forward and blocked Ah Xiu's path with his arms outstretched.

"Junior sister, you can't go in!" Xiao Hai said solemnly.

"Get out of my way!" Ah Xiu was so anxious that she didn't care about Xiao Hai's obstruction. She glared at Xiao Hai and shouted angrily.

Xiao Hai was startled by Ah Xiu's imposing manner, but he did not back down and remained firmly in place.

In fact, from the moment Xiao Hai first saw Ah Xiu, he was deeply attracted to her, and from then on, his heart was involuntarily tied to Ah Xiu.

Since Ah Xiu moved into Fuxi Hall, Xiao Hai has been taking great care of her, helping her with everything from daily life matters to cultivation issues.

However, Ah Xiu seemed to ignore his kindness and was always cold and indifferent to him, showing him no kindness whatsoever.

With a deafening roar, as if the entire room was about to collapse, the two brothers inside fought their way out to the courtyard.
