The Unruly Immortals

"As long as I can escape from all this, I'll do anything!!"

Hearing this, Li Huowang smiled with satisfaction, "Very good, very good."

Immediately, he peeled off his face, began to quickly sift through the different faces, and finally selected an Orchid Card.

"As long as you wear this, you can get rid of all this."

At this moment, Zhao Er couldn't care about anything else, whether it was real or fake, she no longer cared.

She reached out, as if grasping the last straw of her life, to grab that face.

Yet every time she extended her hand by an inch, the Orchid face moved back an inch, always staying just out of her reach.

"Give it to me!!"

"No no no, I can't just give you this for free. Not everyone is accepted in the Oblivion Path. You need to prove yourself." Li Huowang put the Orchid Card back onto his own face.

"Just like being possessed, you need to play, to deceive. I need you to prove your talent."

"Remember, if you want to fool others, you have to go all out. Only then will you qualify to join the Oblivion Path. You have only one chance. If you don't make it, we won't take you, and you'll continue living this hard life."

Li Huowang extended his hand, grabbed the chains binding her, and what happened next amazed Zhao Er: the iron chain twisted and transformed into a white silk ribbon.

He slowly stepped back a few steps, returning to the torrential rain.

Zhao Er anxiously stood up, "What should I do? What should I do!!"

When she chased into the rain, she saw no one and received no reply.

After that, an incident neither too significant nor too trivial occurred in Chen Family Village: Chen Niu's wife, Zhao Er, ran away. Before leaving, she even killed the pig.

The village immediately gathered a group of people, set out grandly to find her. The villagers didn't take it seriously. This place was remote, she couldn't get out, not to mention there were bloodstains on the ground.

But even after searching for a day and a night, by nightfall, they still hadn't found her,

Chen Niu scratched his torch-lit head in frustration, staring at the forest illuminated by the torch, angrily said to his mother: "It's all your fault! Spanking would've sufficed! Why did you have to use a needle? If you hadn't stabbed her, she wouldn't have run!"

"Oh oh oh, blame mother, blame mother, it's my fault, don't worry, son, she can't run far, won't be able to pay back the money spent."

While they were still arguing, there was a scream from the forest on the left, and the family couldn't bother arguing anymore and hurried over.

Soon in the torch-lit forest, Zhao Niu's family saw Zhao Er again.

She was covered in blood, squatting beside the tree roots and giggling softly. This scene scared the other villagers searching, making them unwilling to approach, pushing and shoving each other back and forth.

"She's possessed, I said before, Chen Niu's wife was possessed, and they still tried to cover it up saying she wasn't."

"Exactly, exactly, it was already like this. The last time she saw me, she didn't even greet me, didn't expect she was harboring spirits."

"Possessed? Possessed again?" Wu Shuifeng looked at her daughter-in-law in the distance, her face turned cold, she reached up and took off the sharp copper hairpin from her head.

When she walked to Zhao Er, after a careful sniff, she was even more convinced of her guess. "This girl is trying to fake possession again! The blood on her is clearly pig's blood! And she thought she could fool me?"

Saying so, she gritted her teeth, gripped the hairpin tightly, and stabbed at Zhao Er's waist viciously, "I'll teach you to fake possession, I'll teach you to fake possession! As a daughter-in-law, do you plan to overthrow mother-in-law?!"

Unexpectedly, when the hairpin pierced halfway in, there was no reaction from the other person.

Zhao Er slowly turned her head, her face now pale green, her expression ferocious.

Wu Shuifeng was so frightened she leaned back, then flared up with rage, "Son! Quickly come here! This girl is revolting! Still pretending here!!"

Hearing this, the others in the distance approached quickly. Chen Niu rolled up his sleeves and slapped Zhao Er on the head.

But the next second, Chen Niu screamed in agony, and when he pulled back his hand, he found only half of it left, the other half was in Zhao Er's mouth.

With a crunching sound, Zhao Er chewed on the hand while slowly standing up.

When the others saw that Zhao Er was standing only on her toes, they finally realized something was wrong. How could this be faked? This was real!!

"Ahhhh!!" Screams of terror and cries sounded out, the previously aggressive crowd scattered like birds and beasts, those on the outermost edges ran the fastest, while those closer to Zhao Er had no place to escape.

Zhao Er moved, pulling the hairpin from her waist and approaching its original owner, Wu Shuifeng was so scared she wet her pants, knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and begging for mercy, but it didn't stop the hairpin from piercing into her brain and stirring around.

This was just the beginning, more and more people began to die, with increasingly brutal deaths, most of them intentionally tortured.

As the toe-standing Zhao Er approached an old woman, the woman wiped her face, revealing a Hong Zhong.

Hong Zhong nodded approvingly at Zhao Er, "Not bad, not bad! Daring enough to borrow Wutong spirit to possess yourself and fool others, well done!!"

With that, Hong Zhong peeled off her face, tore down an Orchid Card, and tossed it onto the other's face.

The body of Zhao Er, covered by the Orchid Card, trembled violently as if struggling with something.

"Get out!" As Hong Zhong's eyes widened, a mass of black smoke quickly filtered out from behind Lanhua, disappearing into the darkness.

Standing with a slight arch, Lanhua began laughing lowly, looking at the corpses of Chen Niu and Wu Shuifeng on the ground, the laughter grew louder.

"Was it fun?" Hong Zhong asked.

"Hahahaha! It was fun!! Fooling people is so much fun! You really should have seen their faces just now, hahaha!!"

"This is nothing; there's something even more entertaining, follow me! I have a scam that needs people!" Li Huowang waved and turned to leave.

Lanhua staggered along behind, "Boss Hong Zhong, who are we tricking??"

"Tricking myself."

"Alright, as expected of Boss Hong Zhong! Well-played! Even tricking yourself! But I have to go back to my parents' house first before helping you!"

"Why go home?"

"To play with them!! Boss Hong Zhong, I just suddenly thought of an idea, hahaha!! This is so hilarious!!! Hahahaha!!!"

Lanhua's joyful laughter echoed far into the dark forest.
