My Father Is Definitely Possessed

Chapter 400 - 209: A Buddha Lamp

"What is that thing?"

Several guards stepped forward, and vaguely saw what seemed to be a horse coming.

"Is it a horse?"

Gradually, they faintly heard the sound of horse hooves.

But how could a horse come running out of nowhere?

And in the darkness, the shape of this horse seemed larger than an ordinary horse?

After waiting for a while, when the horse got closer, the guards at the city gate finally saw that this horse was indeed the Purple Lightning!

Because they belonged to the Inspection Mansion, they were well aware of Li Hengsheng’s mount.

"It’s the Inspector’s horse, hurry and see what’s going on!"

Everyone rushed forward.

"It’s the Inspector, the Inspector is on the horse!" The first guard to rush forward quickly said.

But he saw Li Hengsheng lying on the horse’s back, and he hurriedly shook Li Hengsheng, calling out, "Inspector!"

"Sir, please wake up."

The guard shook Li Hengsheng’s body, but found that Li Hengsheng made no movement.

"What’s wrong?"

At this moment, a few more guards ran up from behind.

"No matter how we shake him, he won’t wake up."

The guard said anxiously.

"Sir, sir?" An older guard also stepped forward, shaking Li Hengsheng’s shoulder. Who knew that he used too much force, causing Li Hengsheng to fall off the Purple Lightning’s back.

"Sir!"

A few of them hurriedly went to check, but when they got closer, everyone’s face instantly turned as pale as paper!

Li Hengsheng’s chest was already stained with blood, his heart pierced through.

Two guards were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.

They couldn’t believe what they were seeing, could Li Hengsheng actually be dead?

The older guard’s legs were trembling with fear, but he still shakily stepped forward to check, feeling Li Hengsheng’s throat with his hand.

Even the last shred of hope was finally extinguished.

Li Hengsheng was truly dead.

There was no longer any sign of life.

"Quick, quickly notify the Inspection Mansion." The old guard also closed his eyes helplessly.

"Ah, yes."

The two guards stumbled and ran off.

Hurrying to inform the Inspection Mansion.

It was already the wee hours of the morning.

Wu Santong sat in the courtyard; he hadn’t slept for two days, unable to rest with Li Hengsheng missing.

He looked at the map, circled the searched areas, checking for any overlooked spots, planning where to continue his search for Li Hengsheng’s tracks today.

Xu Kui also hadn’t rested; with Li Hengsheng missing, he was even more anxious.

At this moment, Xu Kui walked in from outside. He had gone searching alone again but still found no clues.

Just as Xu Kui was about to tell Wu Santong to take a break, two guards with panicked expressions rushed in, stumbling, even falling at the doorway.

"Terrible news, sirs, we’ve found the Inspector." The two guards said with fear on their faces.

"Where is he!" Wu Santong abruptly stood up and asked.

"Outside the city, but the Inspector has already..." At this point, the guard was too overcome with emotion to continue. Since Li Hengsheng became Inspector, the whole White Snake Dao had experienced significant changes, from which they benefitted. As guards of the Inspection Mansion, they were now respected wherever they went.

All of this was thanks to Li Hengsheng, but who knew Li Hengsheng would...

"What do you mean, ’already’?" Wu Santong felt a chill run down his spine, his mouth dry.

"Enough talk, take us there!" Xu Kui shouted angrily, grabbing them both and sprinting toward the city outskirts.

Wu Santong hastily followed behind.

When Wu Santong reached the outskirts of the city, he saw Xu Kui standing silently. Wu Santong quickly approached, urgently asking, "Where is Senior Brother?"

Xu Kui still didn’t speak.

Wu Santong looked down to find someone lying on the ground, covered by clothing.

Wu Santong’s pupils shrank.

He swallowed hard, then slowly squatted down, lifting the edge of the covering to see Li Hengsheng’s face.

Wu Santong could hardly believe his eyes.

Li Hengsheng was dead?

Wu Santong sat down heavily on the ground, silent for a long time.

And at that moment, the rising sun also began to ascend.

The sky was brightening.

Li Changqing returned to the tavern, also silent, and locked himself in his room, seeing no one.

Zhen Wanshou and Zhang Fuguang didn’t know what had happened; when they tried to speak to Li Changqing, he ignored them.

The two had no choice but to leave Li Changqing alone, hoping he could have some peace.

And while Li Changqing locked himself in the room, he pondered what he and his son’s future should be.

Since crossing over, barely a year had passed.

In his previous life, Li Changqing was an ordinary citizen, even after arriving in the fantastical Cangyuan Realm, he only wanted to live quietly, lead a peaceful life with his son, away from conflict and competition, unaffected by the world’s myriad changes.

But today, Li Changqing realized that such days were likely unattainable.

From the moment the Longevity Sect set its sights on his son, Li Changqing first realized how difficult it was to live peacefully, but if he had strength, no one would dare trouble him.

Until he later obtained the Seven Cyan Lotus Swords, mastered the Cyan Lotus Seven Kills Sword Array, established the Evergreen Commerce Association, and gained the title of Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable.
