Chapter 357 - 'Ghost Shadow Step' Old Man He!

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu arrived at a prison in the provincial capital city under the administration of the Martial Chamber.

By the time Zhou Yu arrived, Zhao Jianfeng, Zhao Heng, Jiang Fengnian, Wu Yue, and others were already there.

However, everyone’s expressions were somber.

Zhou Yu asked in confusion:

“What happened?

Was the killer caught?”

Wu Yue sighed and said:

“Mr.

Zhou, the killer had already been detained, but this morning, he suddenly died.”

“Died?”

Zhou Yu was momentarily stunned.

“What happened?”

“We don’t know.

Our coroners from the Martial Chamber are currently examining the cause of death,” Wu Yue replied.

Jiang Fengnian checked the time.

“Let’s go, it’s about time.

Let’s go in and see.”

The group entered a morgue within the prison.

“Has the autopsy result come out?” Jiang Fengnian asked.

The coroner hurriedly reported:

“Deputy Minister Jiang, the deceased seems to have committed suicide!”

“Seems?”

Jiang Fengnian furrowed his brows.

“What do you mean by ‘seems’?”

The coroner quickly explained:

“Deputy Minister Jiang, we checked all over the deceased’s body and found no signs of injury.”

“Moreover, we reviewed last night’s surveillance and found that he suddenly acted as if possessed at dawn, and then…

he died.”

“So…”

Jiang Fengnian was clearly very unsatisfied with this outcome.

Just as he was about to get angry, Zhou Yu interjected:

“Let me have a look.”

He approached the body.

He touched the neck of the deceased and then a flash of brilliance flickered in his eyes.

“Mr.

Zhao, Deputy Minister Jiang, could you please step outside?

I’d like to examine him myself.”

Jiang Fengnian and the others didn’t know what Zhou Yu was planning but still complied with his request.

After everyone had left, Zhou Yu slowly closed his eyes, and his Primordial Spirit floated up from his head.

In the Dark Yin Method, a Soul Summoning Technique was mentioned.

Zhou Yu had only glanced at it before, deeming it useless and paying it no further attention.

However, he had sensed that the deceased’s soul might still be inside the body, so he decided to try using the Soul Summoning Technique.

As he deployed the Soul Summoning Technique, Zhou Yu’s Primordial Spirit emitted eerie black forces into the body of the deceased.

A moment later, a ghostly figure floated up.

Excitement flickered in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

It worked.

He then maneuvered his Primordial Spirit to face the soul of the deceased.

“Who are you?”

The soul blankly said:

“I’m a motorcycle modification enthusiast…”

“Why did you try to harm Zhao Heng?”

“It was a man; he forced me to do it.

If I didn’t agree, he threatened to harm my family.”

“Hmm?

Who is he?”

“I don’t know him; I only know he’s about 1.9 meters tall, his legs look longer than average, and there is a scar like a shooting star on his cheek…”

Zhou Yu asked in detail, and the soul answered in detail.

After listening, Zhou Yu sighed.

“I’m sorry, I can’t bring you back to life.

Rest in peace; I will find this man and avenge you.”

As Zhou Yu’s words fell, the soul of the deceased gradually faded into nothingness and finally completely disappeared.

Zhou Yu sighed and walked out of the prison.

The crowd saw Zhou Yu coming out and quickly gathered around him.

Jiang Fengnian asked:

“Zhou Yu, how did it go?

Did you find out anything?”

Zhou Yu nodded and then briefly described what had just happened.

Hearing that Zhou Yu could actually converse with a soul, everyone displayed a look of shock.

Jiang Fengnian said admiringly:

“Only those who have perfected the Primordial Spirit can deploy some mysterious techniques through it.”

“Zhou Yu, you must have cultivated your Shadow Primordial Spirit to perfection.”

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

“Correct.”

“No wonder you said you were confident in reaching the Saint Realm within six months.

With the Shadow Primordial Spirit, reaching the Saint Realm is indeed imminent.”

Zhao Jianfeng and the others also showed expressions of shock.

They had no idea Zhou Yu was on the verge of entering the Saint Realm.

What a terrifyingly high level that was.

This young man’s growth was too horrifying.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and then stated the essential details.

He repeated the description of the man given by the soul.

He hadn’t finished speaking when Jiang Fengnian and Wu Yue both simultaneously exclaimed:

“It’s ‘Ghost Shadow Step’ He Lao Gui.”

“He Lao Gui?

Do you know this person?” Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

Jiang Fengnian nodded.

“This man has also been on the most-wanted list of the Martial Chamber for over ten years.”

“The Martial Chamber’s most-wanted criminals, lasting over ten years, total less than ten people.”

“He Lao Gui is ranked fifth among them.”

“This person’s cultivation is at the pinnacle of the Great Innate Realm, but uniquely, he learned a technique called Ghost Shadow Step which makes him move as shadow and breeze, very hard to capture.

If we only consider speed, his speed is probably not inferior to the average Saint Realm master.”

“Before my injury, I also once captured him.

However, he managed to escape from my hands in the end.”

Jiang Fengnian said with a wry smile,

“Since then, he has become infamous.”

Zhou Yu thought for a moment then asked:

“Why would this man target Uncle Zhao?”

“Uncle Zhao, have you had any conflicts with him?”

Zhao Heng shook his head.

“I have never heard of this person.”

Jiang Fengnian said gravely,

“This person has always been employed by others to do evil.

It’s likely no different this time.”

Zhao Jianfeng’s expression turned grim:

“If that is the case, this person might strike again.”

“Yes, exactly!” Jiang Fengnian said solemnly.

“So, we are in trouble now.

If it were someone else, we would have a way to guard against them, but with He Lao Gui, it’s unpredictable.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

“Deputy Minister Jiang, do you have a way to lure this man out?”

Jiang Fengnian was startled.

“Even if we can lure him out, what then?

Unless our minister returns, no one can hold him.”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

“As long as he shows up, I have a way to keep him here.”
