Cen Heng saved three hundred people.
A year later, the first dead man came to see him.
The corpse rolled from the hillside to his wheelchair. The body was branded with the merit seals of six sects, but the palms had the backflow lines drawn by Cen Heng himself.
A year ago, three hundred homeless disciples were ordered to have their eyes filled with miasma. Cen Heng disobeyed his master's orders and changed his formation to release others. His own meridians were destroyed and he was expelled from Jianyuan.
He thought the three hundred men were free.
But the dead man in front of him told him: someone was following the old list and taking them back one by one.
Huo Zhihuan came to the door just at this time.
This young master Ling Juefeng has no respect for authority and no mercy, and specializes in collecting debts for those dead people whose names have been written off.

They found the roster of 300 people from Liuyin's corpse, and from a non-existent return warehouse, they found the record of the mountains and rivers that maintain peace in the world.
The merit book records merit and the reverse side records destiny.
The first page of the torn-out charter slowly revealed half of Cen Heng's most familiar head seal.
"Master Cen, the account has been settled on your master's door."
"Then... Just keep checking."
The merit book records heroes, but there is another set of accounts hidden on the back: who has had his or her name removed, who has been resold to fill the ranks, and who has been falsely claimed for his or her merit even after death.
At the end of the accounting check, an order to "fill in the formation with ten thousand people" was placed in front of Cen Heng——
If 10,000 people died to save twelve cities, should he save them or not?
Cen Heng once chose a way out for three hundred people.
This time, he decided to ask those who were about to die first.
