Chapter 956: Chapter 0956: When He Needs It, She Does This

If Hong Jiaxin were left alone up there and taken away by someone, Luo Yang wouldn’t even know.

Even if he did find out, it would be difficult to rush back in time to rescue her.

Actually, Luo Yang was also worried that if Hong Jiaxin died after entering the altar, it would be a heartbreaking event.

He had previously heard the Zhu family mother and daughter describe the various terrifying presences inside the altar. With Hong Jiaxin’s skills and strength, she was barely equipped to protect herself.

Zhu Zishan was absolutely going to enter the altar; if she didn’t go, others would have objections.

The issue was, if Luo Yang didn’t accompany her, she might refuse to go herself.

Luo Yang glanced at Hong Jiaxin with questioning eyes, allowing her to make the decision.

If Hong Jiaxin decided to stay above ground, Luo Yang would remain by her side.

Though Xue Shazi was important, protecting Hong Jiaxin was even more critical.

Many times, it was often Luo Yang who made decisions on behalf of Hong Jiaxin.

This time, however, Luo Yang wanted her to decide, as he was feeling conflicted; staying wasn’t right, leaving wasn’t right either.

Hong Jiaxin understood Luo Yang’s look, thought for a moment, and firmly said: "Big Sis will go with you to take a look."

Her intention was merely to expand her horizons.

"Miss Hong..."

"Even my lawful wife said she’s going; why are you rambling on?! What exactly do you want?!"

Luo Yang was genuinely about to lose his temper.

There were at least two people present who understood Hong Jiaxin’s situation.

One was Hua XiYi, and the other was Master Hua.

But neither of them had explained Hong Jiaxin’s situation to Luo Yang, which left him quite frustrated.

Hua XiYi hadn’t made any moves against Hong Jiaxin, so Luo Yang had no complaints.

Master Hua, however, kept pointing fingers and interfering, which Luo Yang found increasingly irritating.

With Hua XiYi by his side, Luo Yang wasn’t afraid of Master Hua acting out.

Just as Master Hua prepared to lunge, Hua XiYi suddenly darted between the two.

"Ha! Trying to bully my little brother? Ha! Am I invisible to you? Come on! Let’s play until it gets dark!"

Master Hua was so furious that veins were bulging from his forehead.

"You crazy woman, you’ll laugh yourself to death someday!"

"Ha-ha! Don’t scare Baby; Baby is timid, ha-ha!"

The scene dragged on, eating up a few more minutes.

As tourists slowly increased, any further conflict on the street would inevitably draw more and more onlookers.

"Everyone, if there’s still no resolution, why not find another place to discuss? If you want to head to the altar, follow me."

Wuweizi wasn’t interested in Hong Jiaxin’s matters.

Listening to Luo Yang and the others argue endlessly over Hong Jiaxin was clearly testing his patience.

"Ha-ha! Lead the way already!"

At Hua XiYi’s urging, Wuweizi took the lead.

Luo Yang held Hong Jiaxin’s hand, walking side by side with Hua XiYi.

The others followed behind.

Without Master Hua’s orders, the two unfamiliar "Zhang Jing" characters didn’t show any intention of taking action.

Master Hua glared at Luo Yang and the others’ retreating backs but was helpless and had no choice but to follow.

Master Hua was heard saying to the two unfamiliar "Zhang Jing" individuals: "Keep an eye on her!"

If it was cryptic language, the meaning would be to eliminate Hua XiYi.

If it were ordinary speech, then the intention was to protect Hong Jiaxin.

On the way to Frozen Lake, Luo Yang’s emotions surged.

The school belle whose hand he was holding might really turn out to be the illegitimate daughter of the Eight Immortals Hall’s high-ranking members or someone similar.

Hong Jiaxin might harbor significant hidden secrets within her.

Initially, he thought it was simply about helping Hong Jiaxin find her parents; now, it appeared the situation was far more complicated than he had imagined.

Ever since obtaining the *Shennong Scripture*, Luo Yang had only aimed to become the richest man in the world.

Unexpectedly, troubles had come one after another, leaving him no peace.

He didn’t want to get dragged into Hong Jiaxin’s problems, but he had already been protecting her for so long.

Moreover, she was all alone. Luo Yang couldn’t help but feel sympathetic toward her.

If he stopped helping her now, he couldn’t fathom how she would possibly manage to survive.

Letting out a quiet sigh in his heart, Luo Yang resigned himself to fate.

He thought maybe this was destiny—he and Hong Jiaxin were meant to experience all these events, and all he could do now was give her his utmost support.

Using the corner of his eye, Luo Yang stole a glance at Hong Jiaxin. Seeing her lost and bewildered expression revealed there were undoubtedly countless mysteries within her mind.

Setting everything else aside, even the secret of Mu Tan wood charcoal alone was enough to occupy her thoughts.

Why did the Japan Collector know about her family’s connection to Mu Tan? Luo Yang guessed she couldn’t figure it out.

After spending some time with her, Luo Yang was confident that Hong Jiaxin genuinely didn’t know about Mu Tan.

Perhaps for safety reasons, the Hong Zhong Couple had never once mentioned the secret of Mu Tan to their daughter.

Whatever was hidden inside Mu Tan had attracted tremendous interest from the Japan Collector; this was something Luo Yang also wanted to uncover.

Yet the answer remained elusive.

As time passed, Luo Yang believed that as long as he stayed alive, he would eventually discover the truth.

This reasoning was something Luo Yang understood.

Understanding, however, didn’t dispel the sense of urgency and impatience he felt to solve the mystery.

Lost in thought, Luo Yang suddenly looked up to find himself at the entrance of the altar.

This location was a building by the lakeshore of Frozen Lake, a place off-limits to tourists.

Just as everyone was about to step inside, a figure came running from afar, shouting loudly: "Elder! Elder! Elder!..."

The man, gasping for air and visibly terrified, clearly indicated something major had occurred.

When he reached them, he could hardly catch his breath and only managed to gesture behind him.

On the street behind him, sparsely populated as it was early morning, only a few staff members from the resort were visible.

"No discipline! You’ve embarrassed our Blood Devil Sect!" Elder Chang Zhenzi scolded angrily.

With so many people watching, witnessing a Blood Devil Sect member run over to report an incident in such a clumsy manner was indeed disgraceful.

"E-E-Elder, there’s someone..."

Trying to speak coherently while catching his breath was no easy task.

The two elders looked as though they wanted to kick the man off, their expressions dark and their glares icy.

Everyone else was deeply curious, eager to learn what had happened.

The terrified man, noticing the elders’ threatening postures that promised retribution later, became even more petrified.

After struggling for two full minutes, he finally managed to speak clearly.

"Elder, someone... someone has been killed!"

The news shocked everyone, even those not affiliated with the Blood Devil Sect.

In the current era of law and order, murder is a grave matter.

And this was Blood Devil Sect territory; anyone causing trouble here was blatantly disrespecting the sect.

Everyone in Tianjiang City was aware of Blood Devil Sect’s power.

Ordinary individuals wouldn’t have the audacity to stir up trouble in the resort.

Getting away with just minor consequences would be considered fortunate; they could easily end up dead with their corpse left rotting in the street.

"Quickly, take me there!"

Even Wuweizi was anxious now; in the years since the resort had opened, there had never been a murder case.

If it were a minor issue, it could be postponed; the altar visit would come first.

But lives were at stake, and the gravity of the situation left everyone uncertain. They could only follow to see for themselves.

After walking approximately 200 meters and turning several corners, they arrived at a small courtyard.

This appeared to be an area for storing miscellaneous items or housing resort staff.

Entering the courtyard, they were immediately hit by an overpowering stench of blood, signaling a massacre.

Judging by the pungency, there was no doubt that a gruesome scene lay ahead.

Turning to the back of two pine trees in the courtyard, everyone was stunned.

Hanging from each pine tree was a blood-soaked skeleton!

If not for the blood still dripping from the bones, one might’ve assumed they were plastic models used in medical schools.

Flies buzzed loudly, celebrating the feast now available to them.
