Chapter 2056: Xiao Zheng, Are You Alright?
"Xiao Zheng, are you okay?"
Mo Anna got out of the car, then walked over to Xiao Zheng’s side.
When she saw the corpses of Lin Er and the others, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled. "I’m fine. Just these few clowns don’t even qualify to injure me. If it weren’t because I wanted to see the Ghost Control Technique of that Ghost Raising Family, I would’ve killed them all long ago."
In fact, he really wasn’t bragging.
If Xiao Zheng had wanted to, he wouldn’t even have needed to get out of the car just now; he could have directly killed Lin Er and the others. After all, his cultivation had reached the Peak of Supreme Realm. Facing five people whose highest cultivation was only Early Stage Martial Saint, a one‑shot kill was absolutely guaranteed.
"Will they still come looking for trouble with us later?" Mo Anna asked worriedly.
Having seen ghosts twice in a row, she was truly a bit scared now.
"They probably won’t. They’ve already lost six people in a row to my hands, and they all counted as experts. No matter how many people the Ghost Raising Family has, they can’t afford to burn through them like this." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Don’t worry, and even if people from the Ghost Raising Family do come again, I still have ways to kill them."
"Then let’s go home now. Out here in the wilderness like this, I still feel a little scared." Mo Anna pulled her collar tighter, not sure whether it was because of the wind or because of fear.
Xiao Zheng also realized it was getting late. After nodding, he said, "Then go sit in the car and wait for me first. I’ll deal with their corpses and come right over."
After replying, Mo Anna quickly slipped back into the car.
Xiao Zheng, meanwhile, stacked the five corpses together, then snapped his fingers. A wisp of golden flame danced at his fingertips, finally falling onto the corpses. The five bodies immediately began to burn.
The golden flame transformed from Gang Qi took only a single second to burn the corpses to ash.
However, just as Xiao Zheng was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly caught something in that pile of ashes that seemed to be flashing with Golden Light.
"Could it be these five bastards had something good on them?"
A thought stirred in Xiao Zheng’s mind, and he turned back.
When he blew the ashes apart, the thing that appeared in his line of sight instantly shocked him speechless!
It was actually a Golden Bone!
At first Xiao Zheng thought he was mistaken, and hurriedly picked the Golden Bone up. The familiar feeling surged into his heart—this was indeed a Golden Bone!
"Why would Lin Er and the others have a Golden Bone on them?"
"Where exactly did they get it from?"
Holding the Golden Bone, Xiao Zheng was filled with questions.
The interest in the Ghost Raising Family that had been gradually fading from his mind was actually rekindled, growing stronger again because of this Golden Bone.
"If Lin Er and his group have a Golden Bone on them, then inside the Ghost Raising Family, could there be even more Golden Bones stored away?"
"After all, Long Qie said the Ghost Raising Family branched out from the Corpse Chasing Sect, which has a history of several hundred years and a deep foundation. Over such a long span of time, it’s very possible they really found one or two, or even more Golden Bones!"
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng instantly grew excited.
He then carefully put away this Golden Bone, planning to go find Long Qie early tomorrow morning and have Long Qie thoroughly investigate all information and data related to the Ghost Raising Family.
Amid Mo Anna’s urging, Xiao Zheng finally drove away from this desolate area.
After dropping Mo Anna off at home, he returned to his own place alone.
It was already past nine in the evening.
When Xiao Zheng got home, Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran were both sitting in the living room watching TV.
Hearing movement at the door, Chu Xiaoran couldn’t help complaining, "Xiao Zheng, you’re back way too late, aren’t you? It’s almost ten. Is the company really that busy? The soup we stewed for you has gone cold."
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng quickly said with a trace of apology, "Something did come up tonight, a little accident, so I came back late. Don’t worry, I promise I’ll finish the soup."
Hearing him, Leng Ruobing couldn’t help asking curiously, "What accident did you run into? Are you alright?"
"Nothing major, just that people from the Ghost Raising Family came for me again..." Xiao Zheng then recounted his second encounter with the Ghost Raising Family to the two women.
After listening to the whole story, Chu Xiaoran said angrily, "Those people from the Ghost Raising Family must be tired of living, huh? Almost got Sister Anna killed and still dare to come looking for you?"
"I think it’s necessary to make some arrangements specifically against the Ghost Raising Family." Leng Ruobing’s face was frosty as she spoke. "Otherwise, if they keep ambushing us like this, it’s not a solution."
Xiao Zheng understood their worries very well.
He nodded, then said, "Don’t worry. I’ll go see Long Qie tomorrow and discuss with him how to deal with the Ghost Raising Family. Actually, dealing with the Ghost Raising Family is simple. The only difficulty is that we don’t know where to find them."
"The people of the Ghost Raising Family move around unpredictably. To pick them out from the vast sea of people is indeed not easy."
At this point, Xiao Zheng suddenly felt a bit of regret.
If he had known earlier that Lin Er and the others had a Golden Bone on them, he should’ve left one alive so he could interrogate him about the Ghost Raising Family’s secrets.
But now, even the ashes of Lin Er and the others were gone. No matter how much Xiao Zheng regretted it, it was already useless.
"We still have to at least try to gather information."
"Otherwise, if we stay in a passive position all the time, it won’t be good."
Leng Ruobing said slowly.
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng nodded. "I know. Anyway, I promise you, I’ll resolve this matter as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go talk with Long Qie and see if we can come up with something."
"Let’s not talk so much for now. I’m really starving. You two just keep watching TV and don’t worry about me. I’ll heat up the dishes myself."
With that, he headed straight into the kitchen.
After reheating the food himself, Xiao Zheng began wolfing it down.
Seeing how much he was enjoying the meal, the two beautiful chefs both felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
By the time Xiao Zheng finished dinner, it was already past ten.
The three of them didn’t continue chatting in the living room, but went back to their bedrooms to rest.
The night passed uneventfully.
Early the next morning, after Xiao Zheng had breakfast together with Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, he drove straight toward Sky Net headquarters...
