Chapter 15 - Chapter 15

Li Zian wants to send Jun Yi back to the small house but Jun Yi show reluctant on his face, "What is it?"

"Master Fang Zian, we only want to live but why is the Heaven is cruel towards our Jun Clan? None of us are sparred?" Jun Yi said with a heavy tone, it seems that Jun Yi really resent the heaven. The small house also tremble and Li Zian can heard they are yelling in frustration.

Li Zian hair and pupils turn into black purple. Jun Yi retreat few steps to the back and the small house stop trembling. The room is quite.

"You dare to question the Heaven!? Who did you think you are!? Li Zian asked with a cold voice.

Jun Yi immediately falls to his knee. He grit his teeth, "We, The Jun Clan did not do anything wrong. We donate and treat others with kindness but why..."

"Indeed, the Jun Clan did not do any wrong..." Jun Yi eyes seem to shine and he really hope the heaven has really do injustice to his family. Li Zian continue, "At least for this generation Jun Clan. Your glory of Jun Clan is being built when your ancestor receive great military achievement then the Jun Clan enters political route. Both your great-grandfather and grandfather has done many decision that should not being done in order to maintain their career. Am I right old Master Jun?"

An old ghost get out from the small house. He kneel beside Jun Yi, "You thought by retiring from politic and bring your family far from the imperial capital you can escape from your sin." Li Zian shakes her head, "It is retribution. What has you and your father has done is being pay by your descendent."

Old Master Jun tremble, "I should knew it but I denied it. I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry." He said weakly.

"Grandfather..." Jun Yi did know what to say. All this while he thought the heaven is cruel but it turn out their Jun Clan is build on other people misery. The small house leak out a despair sigh.

Li Zian gives two option to the Jun Clan whether to accept their fate and enter reincarnation or continue to stay on the earth and practice proper ghost cultivation. She warn them, it is hard to pass tribulation if they cultivate as ghost cultivator.

Next, the waiter from the tea shop comes in. Jun Chao hurriedly comes out from the house, " Brother Jun Gan!" Jun Chao hug the waiter. The small house tremble and Li Zian let out two people. The waiter sees them and call, "Mom! Dad!"

"I knew it that you are alive, Brother Jun Gan. I can sense the ball that you have. Jun Chao take out a small ball that identical with Li Zian found in the alley. Li Zian take out the ball and give it to Jun Gan. Jun Gan took it, " I buy this ball from an exorcist. He said it can connect with the dead, I just buy it on whim and burn it to you. Who knows it is useful."

"My son, if you are alive, why all this time..." Jun Gan's mother feels a bit indignant, why did not he offer them any incense or visit their grave? But why he can burn a ball to young master?

"Mom, dad, it is not that I do not want to give you offering but there are people looking for the remnant of Jun Clan. They are not searching for me for a good reason. It is to wipe out to the root. I am lucky that they did not recognize me and able to live until today. As for the ball it is just coincidence.

It is because of Jun Gan's ball, Jun Chao able to sense Li Zian and did not turn hostile. Probably because Jun Gan has the Jun Clan blood in him, he is not being possesses by the wandering ghost and notice that she and Ling Min Zhe is investigating the case. Li Zian gives the small house to Jun Gan and let him to stay with his family for a while. Later, he has to give the small house to the twins.

Inside the pagoda, Li Zian hold a circular jade tablet. The jade is carved with the word "City."

"Congratulations on your promotion!" Zhong said with a satisfaction on his face. The new Jiangong is very competent.

"Haih! It means that more jobs to me." Li Zian sits dejectedly on a soft mat.

"The Hao Clan already knows your existence. The higher your Jiangong level, the stronger your authority. Your jurisdiction now can be expand towards any city." Zhong is wiping the jade tablet to make sure there are no dust on it.

"I think it is too early."

"It is not early master. The seal that the previous Jiangong put is reaching its limit."

Li Zian turns towards Zhong, "The Hao Clan, are they really strong?"

In a secluded village a middle age woman and her two assistant is kneeling in front of an altar.

"Master Hao Ren, we have found a new Jiangong at San county. A young Jiangong only in Qi Refinement stage."

The altar is shaking and a voice come out from the altar, "Minimize our movement. Do not provoke the new Jiangong. I am in a critical moment to destroy the seal."

"But master! She is just a child!"

"Shut up!" The middle age woman was slam to the ground. Her face directly hits the floor. Her forehead is bleeding and her nose is broken. Her two assistant did not budge to help her.

"For this three hundred years, we have been killing the Jiangong but none of it incur the wrath of the Heaven. The Heaven is just waiting for a suitable time."

The middle age woman slowly gets up, "I am sorry Master Hao Ren." Later the woman get out from the house and heard a giggle.

"Wah! Look who is back. I heard you found a Jiangong? A new Jiangong has been born but you did not notice it. Tch!Tch!Tch!"

The middle age woman with the help of her assistant walk pass the person. With her bloody forehead and broken nose she scan the surrounding, "Happy?! Hmp! Master Hao Ren said to not disturb the Jiangong. Control your people."

A few "swish" can be heard, "Master Hao Ren command is our wish!" Those people start to sending information to their men. Their master arrival cannot be disturb or tragedy from three hundred years ago will be repeated.

Li Zian is getting busy, she only gets a few days of relaxation before she is getting visions and dreams. Using a puppet as her disguise for her parent, she and Ling Min Zhe is going from one city to another city.

The Jun Clan as Li Zian expected has chosen to cultivate than entering reincarnation. After the twins send them to a designated place that Li Zian has prepare, she sends the twins to get the same training as the slave in the valley. She wants to test their determination before she accepts them joining her camp. Even Ling Min Zhe suffer under Zhong strict tutelage.

City level is not the same as the village level. In the village the life of those people are simple and steady. It is rare to see a strong resentment in the village. But, in the city, the land is huge and filled with ambitious people. Their life is full of competition and many people travel from one city to another. From individual resentment to clan resentment there are many in her plate. She and Ling Min Zhe are exhausted.

Right now, Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe is investigating a serial killer case. The killer has create a chaos and the resentment of the victims and their family is building. All those victim body parts are separated and the killer is like playing hide and seek with the victim's family. He will send letters to the victim's family to search for the victim's body part. How could it not create resentment? The city is in unrest state. Everyone is scared and wonder whether they will be the next victim or not.

"Min Zhe what are your thought?" Li Zian gaze towards the people walking on the street, "We have been here for a week but we miss two victims. The killer is skilled in control of his emotion."

"An expert indeed, this makes the fifth case this month." Ling Min Zhe is reading the information regarding the victims to search any clue that could relate all the victims. So far, none of the victims knows each other. Even their age did not match.

The latest victims is a teenage boy. They only found his head and left leg." Ling Min Zhe handed the victim profile to Li Zian.

Li Zian sits beside Ling Min Zhe and begin to read the document. Ling Min Zhe take a peek at Li Zian. It has been two months and they did not get proper rest, although he knows Li Zian is an adult soul in a child body he still feels that this job as Jiangong is too hard. How could we control other people emotion? After getting help from Jiangong those people will gradually forgot about the help they receive from Jiangong except for a selected people like the former assistant, Master Ao Tian.
