Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

Everyone went to bed, but most of them couldn't sleep, feeling uneasy. They just closed their eyes to rest, remaining vigilant at all times.

The moonlight gradually dimmed, and dark clouds obscured the moon.

Soon,

The first light of dawn breaks across the sky, a pale white hue slowly appears, and the night passes.

"Shisheng, here you go, it's freshly made."

At this moment, Liu Yun, the sister-in-law, returned from outside the door, carrying a small basket filled with various prepared foods.

She woke up early in the morning and went to the rented room next door to make breakfast.

Chen Shisheng didn't tell her the details of what happened last night, afraid of scaring her.

At this moment, he stood in the corner, practicing the Wild Bull Fist, honing his qi and blood through cultivation.

"Okay. Sister-in-law, you should go back to the next room later."

Chen Shisheng picked up a pancake with several fried eggs inside and ate it in big bites.

He always felt something was off about the Qin residence. He had inquired before and found that there had been no cases of water ghosts harming people in the area.

The root cause is most likely in the Qin family mansion.

After dinner, Chen Shisheng was about to continue practicing the Wild Bull Fist to rejuvenate his body.

Although he is blessed with a special destiny, he still needs to train himself to master basic techniques and body control.

Otherwise, even with abundant qi and blood, it's difficult to fight an enemy without offensive and defensive skills and proficiency.

The other martial artists around were yawning, most of them listless and some even dispirited.

What happened yesterday really frightened them.

They were terrified that a ghost might come knocking on their door in the middle of the night.

I stayed up until dawn before I could finally fall asleep.

Although they are all martial artists, not sleeping for one night has little impact on them.

But sleep is secondary; the most important thing is that thing in the mansion.

There was a hint of unease and fear on everyone's faces, which made the atmosphere in the entire Qin family compound somewhat oppressive.

"Shisheng."

At this moment, Liu Feng walked over, looking exhausted.

"They're all discussing moving out or going to the Liu family's place. What do you think?"

He looked at Chen Shisheng and asked for his opinion.

With Zhang Kuang dead, everyone has lost their leader and is now in a state of chaos, with no one in charge.

"Yes, I think it's because of the location."

Chen Shisheng pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, so you're coming with us..."

"No need, I've already rented a place outside, so I can move out."

"Okay, we plan to stay nearby for the time being. If anything happens to you, please let us know immediately."

Liu Feng gave earnest instructions.

"it is good."

Chen Shisheng nodded.

Soon, the group began moving again, carrying their beds, bedding, and other belongings outside.

The location has been found; it's an alley between two mansions.

The Liu and Qin families were separated by a wall, and through the gate, one could see the narrow, dark alley.

The alley is lined with blue brick and stone walls on both sides. The entrance is not big, but it's fine to sleep in.

All of them were martial artists, and they moved quickly, finishing moving the items in no time.

They also covered the alley with some things to prevent rain.

During this period, the Liu family sent people to come and talk to them several times, but they ignored them all.

Before we knew it, it was evening again.

When Chen Shisheng finished practicing and returned home, Liu Yun was busy in the kitchen preparing food for him.

Since his blood transfusion, his appetite has grown even larger. Without enough meat to nourish him, he can eat several bowls of food in one meal.

This resulted in Liu Yun having to spend a lot of time cooking every day.

Chen Shisheng also wanted to find a few old women. Anyway, he was short of big money but not small money, so he still had some.

But Liu Yun refused, saying she was bored and should find something to do. Chen Shisheng didn't say anything more.

The next morning.

"Oh no! Liu San is dead!!"

A loud shout jolted the dazed crowd awake.

Without even bothering to put on clothes, a group of men, shirtless, rushed over to check the situation.

On the bed at the alley entrance, a burly man had a pale face and was covered in bruises. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

On the wall to the side,

A bright red lantern, as red as blood, was also hanging there.

"this...."

"Not a sound at all? How is that possible?!"

"Is it a water monkey? Or a ghost...?"

The group of people had deep fear and horror in their eyes, their faces were pale, and their blood and qi were somewhat unstable.

"We can't hide any longer!"

Zhang Qing said angrily.

"It will take several days for the Wen family to send people. Who can guarantee we won't be next?"

He tried to encourage the crowd, but the warriors kept their heads down like quails and didn't say a word.

"I think so too. I suggest we keep watch and find this charlatan!"

Liu Feng chimed in.

"Alright then, let's do it the same way as before, five people per group, taking turns on night watch until the Wen family arrives. How does that sound?"

"Can."

The crowd looked at each other and had no choice but to agree. Zhang Qing also had no objections.

Soon, Chen Shisheng also learned of this news, and after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense.

On the first night, the five men kept watch, and nothing happened.

Nothing happened the second night either.

Until the third night.

Rumors circulated that a red figure had been seen flitting about within the Qin residence.

On the fourth night, Chen Shisheng, Liu Feng, and four others kept watch.

Chen Shisheng instructed his sister-in-law to close the doors and windows tightly, and to make noise by banging on the pots and pans if anything happened.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, and night enveloped the sky.

The group stayed together as much as possible and did not go their separate ways, patrolling the Qin residence repeatedly.

"It's freezing!"

One of them muttered a curse under his breath and couldn't help but rub his hands together.

For some unknown reason, a chill suddenly crept into the house at night.

Chen Shisheng looked around but found nothing else unusual.

However, the temperature is indeed strange.

He roused himself, not daring to be careless, and circulated his Bull Fist, channeling his qi and blood into his fist.

"Shisheng, have some."

Beside him, Liu Feng handed over the wine jug with a smile.

This was passed down from the martial artists who patrolled before; drinking it warms the body and emboldens the spirit.

Chen Shisheng thought for a moment. He didn't like drinking, but taking a sip now to ward off the cold wouldn't be bad.

He reached out his hand, trying to catch the wine jug.

The next moment!

A sudden, bone-chilling coldness, like millennia-old ice, gripped his hand, making it difficult for his blood and qi to circulate.

Chen Shisheng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately realized the problem.

Looking up again,

Liu Feng's face suddenly drew closer and widened.

A rotting, eerily smiling face suddenly bumped into me.

Thick, green pus oozed from the rotting face, and a strange stench, like a mixture of a stinking ditch and the smell of a corpse, wafted over. Several pieces of tattered skin drooped carelessly from the corners of the mouth and forehead, revealing blackened flesh.

Several white maggots were wriggling and crawling around on it.

In an instant!

Several maggots seemed to sense something.

They all stood up in unison.

Then it suddenly jumped out and pounced straight at Chen Shisheng's mouth and nose.

Bang! !

Chen Shisheng's body temperature spiked instantly, and his skin turned red.

That's a manifestation of the explosive flow of Qi and blood.

He unleashed a powerful bull-like punch, which landed squarely on that mangled face.

Instantly, a sticky, mushy sensation came from the skin on my hand.

A large sac of bursting green pus splattered onto his arm.

Chen Shisheng felt nauseous and quickly distanced himself.

"Someone come here!"

He shouted loudly, but there was no response from those around him.

"What exactly are you?!"

Chen Shisheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the red figure opposite him with shattered facial bones and a crooked posture.

The red figure's body was indistinct, surrounded by an eerie red light, and it wore a pair of small, red embroidered shoes.

ah!!

The red figure didn't answer, its body dripping wet, dragging its twisted body, and suddenly pounced on him with incredible speed.

A chill ran down Chen Shisheng's back.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that this thing exuded a chill.

Chen Shisheng's eyes flashed, and the panel appeared.

With a flick of the wrist, the destiny of the Qilin is instantly bestowed upon the individual.

His body suddenly moved, and his blood and qi circulated wildly throughout his body.

My body felt like a balloon, slightly inflating and growing larger.

"Go to hell!!"

Chen Shisheng threw a punch with all his might, his blood and qi surging.

His fist seemed to grow rapidly, turning red in an instant. A surge of crimson energy, containing faint strands of gold, suddenly struck the red figure in front of him.

Bang! ! !

The red figure twisted and blurred before exploding with a loud bang.

A deafening roar echoed through the night sky, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.

Then Chen Shisheng felt a jolt throughout his body, and his breathing became smooth again.

The surrounding cold receded quickly like the tide, and the sky cleared up, no longer gloomy.

In the distance, the group of people who had been dazed and confused, as if possessed, suddenly woke up and broke free from that strange state.

One of them was already dead; his face was purple, and his skin was tightly wrinkled.

"Shisheng? What happened?"

At this moment, the others also realized what was happening and hurriedly ran towards him.

People outside the mansion heard the commotion and rushed over.

"Are you alright?"

The martial artists looked at Chen Shisheng and asked.

"fine."

Chen Shisheng shook his head, and the golden glint in his eyes quickly faded.

On the ground, there remained a pair of worn-out red embroidered shoes, embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
