The scene before my eyes disappeared completely, and I found myself back in the courtyard.

Having understood the cause and effect, I sighed at Fang Ling's tragic fate. Since the dead cannot be brought back to life, I decided to help her cross over and ensure a better life for her in the next reincarnation.

I removed all the long nails, tore off the talismans, and chanted a spell. Immediately, golden light emerged, and her soul ascended into the air. She had suffered too much in this life, and I only hoped that she could live freely in the next.

At dawn the next day, I had Chu Lingyun carry the coffin away and found a new burial site for her, a place with good feng shui.

After resolving Fang Ling's matter, I suddenly realized a problem. If her coffin was sealed so securely, how could she have come out? And why did she find Chu Lingyun?

I entered his house and looked around, only to discover that the entire place was set up with a formation.

The formation's core?

I immediately called Chu Lingyun, and as expected, there was a puppet pattern on the back of his neck.

"Master, I have no idea where this came from," he exclaimed, startled.

The person who set up this formation was ruthless. They knew there was a vengeful ghost in there, yet they cursed Chu Lingyun and lured her to him, showing that this person wanted him dead.

"Let me break this formation first. It's quite peculiar. If I forcibly break it, the backlash will affect the person who set it up," I explained to Chu Lingyun beforehand.

"So, those lonely spirits and wild ghosts will come after him, and he will face misfortune, even life-threatening danger in the coming days."

I warned Chu Lingyun in advance.

"If he's haunted, so be it. He brought it upon himself. Master, please break the formation," he said.

"Alright."

After everything was resolved, I left.
