Early the next morning, Lu Heng woke up from his cultivation state.
After washing up, he knocked on the door of his second senior brother, Yang Qingshu.
As per the agreent from the previous night, they were going to visit Song Qing and Qingyue, who were sent to the hospital.
Yang Qingshu, still half-awake, drowsily opened the door.
"Junior, didn’t you say that Taoist Zhenyuan would co?"
"Why haven’t we seen him yet?"
Yang Qingshu asked casually while washing up.
"I have no idea!"
Lu Heng shook his head, frowning, "Maybe the old Taoist encountered sothing along the way."
Yang Qingshu nodded at his words and didn’t ask further.
He shifted the conversation to another topic: "Junior, what do you think will happen to us ordinary people after Spiritual Qi Revival?"
"Don’t worry, the old Taoist said that the Spiritual Qi Revival process isn’t that fast."
Lu Heng replied with a smile.
"Do you think our Shangqing Tao will have any cultivation inheritance?"
Yang Qingshu asked again.
"Of course not, second senior brother!"
At this ti, Qingling and Qingming also walked in.
Upon hearing Yang Qingshu’s question, Qingling answered without a second thought.
"How do you know?"
Yang Qingshu looked curious.
Qingling chuckled, "I previously used the excuse of cleaning to search the mountain thoroughly with Qingzhi and the others. Not a single manual or magical treasure was found."
"You’re smart!"
Yang Qingshu laughed heartily at this and gave Qingling a thumbs up.
"According to what Junior Qingfeng said last night, the era of Taoist Zhenyuan is too distant from ours."
"Even if there were inheritances left behind, what would it matter?"
"Over such a long ti, they’d likely have been lost."
Qingming sighed.
"What about the other Tao Sects and Buddhist Sects?"
"Don’t tell everyone is just a lone warrior with nothing?"
After changing his clothes, Yang Qingshu asked in confusion.
"Congratulations on answering correctly, second senior brother!"
"Everyone is a blank slate with no inheritance at all."
Qingming shook his head.
"Yes, if there were any inheritances, the Sect Leaders of Taiyi Dao, Jingming Tao, and Louguan Tao wouldn’t have ended up getting themselves killed."
Qingling nodded in agreent.
"Taiyi Dao? Jingming Tao? Louguan Tao?"
"What do they have to do with it?"
When Yang Qingshu heard this, he grew even more curious.
"Alas!"
Qingming sighed wistfully and then recounted the stories of the three Sect Leaders.
"Whoa!"
After listening, Yang Qingshu found himself speechless.
"Forget it, I better honestly inherit the family business!"
He had been thinking about whether he had a Spirit Root and if he could cultivate.
But now it seed the waters were too deep!
Even those three Sect Leaders drowned themselves. With his little stature, he’s likely fated to be played to death.
Rather than wade into those troubled waters and lose his life inexplicably, he’d prefer living a stable life!
After tidying up, the four siblings imdiately called Yan Ya.
True to her swift nature, Ms. Yan appeared without making the four brothers wait long at all.
The group of five took a car directly to the town hospital.
After a full night of recovery, Song Qing and Qingyue’s spiritual states were already stable.
"Senior brother, there really are zombies in this world!"
"You weren’t lying to ..."
Yang Qingshu huddled with Song Qing to whisper, while Qingyue pouted, full of grievance.
Hearing this, Qingling couldn’t help but show an awkward smile.
When the topic of zombies was first ntioned, it was just sothing he brought up casually.
He didn’t truly believe there were zombies.
Yet unexpectedly, his words turned prophetic, and a zombie actually appeared!
While everyone was chatting, the door of the ward was suddenly knocked on.
Yan Ya and Qingyue had nothing to talk about, nor could they join Yang Qingshu and Song Qing’s whispers, so they stood in the corner of the ward.
Upon hearing the knock, she took the initiative to open the door.
Then, Old i entered the ward with three strangers.
"Miss Yan, let introduce you; these three are staff from the Religious Affairs Bureau..."
Old i introduced the three to Yan Ya and then introduced Yan Ya to them.
Lu Heng also turned his gaze over.
Among the three, he only recognized one, Director Li, whom he had seen several tis before.
As for the other two young n, they were unfamiliar, seemingly never t before.
"Taoist Qingfeng, Taoist Qingming, Taoist Qingling..."
Seeing Lu Heng and the others, Director Li smiled and greeted them.
"Hello, Director Li!"
Lu Heng and the others also greeted him with smiles.
"After receiving the report from the Taiping Town police last night, we rushed over overnight..."
Director Li briefly explained the situation.
Though he spoke simply, the internal response to the report was anything but simple.
Especially after watching the video footage recorded by Yan Ya, the high-ranking officials were all shocked.
Although they had previously heard about the Spiritual Qi Revival secret from Taoist Zhenyuan, the high-ranking officials in the bureau did not take it too seriously.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have allowed Elder Song, a retired consultant, to keep engaging with Taoist Zhenyuan.
But this ti, they couldn’t ignore it.
After all, this ti a zombie appeared, a real vampire zombie!
Even a fool could imagine the chaos a vampire zombie’s appearance could cause.
So that night, the high-ranking officials at the Religious Affairs Bureau imdiately dispatched personnel to fly to Taiping Town to thoroughly investigate the incident.
They needed to obtain first-hand information about the vampire zombie and that Fla Man.
"Director Li, what about Elder Song?"
Lu Heng was a bit puzzled.
In previous circumstances, Elder Song had always been responsible for coordinating various ergencies for the Religious Affairs Bureau.
How co he wasn’t here for this major incident?
"Well..."
"Elder Song’s health has had so issues, and he is currently recuperating."
Director Li chuckled, giving an ambiguous response.
While speaking, he subconsciously glanced at the two people beside him.
Such a small gesture might fool ordinary people, but it couldn’t escape Lu Heng’s sharp eyes.
From Director Li’s reaction, he estimated that sothing major must have happened within the Religious Affairs Bureau.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t Elder Song be here?
As for the two strangers beside Director Li, they always maintained an indifferent and arrogant deanor.
Their attitude made Lu Heng wonder whether these two were here to investigate the incident or were they here to collect a debt?
"We ca this ti to ask Miss Song and Junior Taoist Qingyue so questions."
"Is it convenient now?"
Director Li asked politely after looking at Song Qing and Qingyue.
"Sure!"
Song Qing nodded slightly in response.
And Qingyue also nodded along.
"Then I thank the two of you for your cooperation."
Director Li’s smile grew even broader...
