Reentering the Magong Family estate and then leaving it had taken Beichuan Si roughly half an hour.
As Magong Yongshi had said, the Magong estate was teeming with vengeful spirits, with one or two appearing every few steps Beichuan Si took.
Fortunately, these spirits were not very powerful, and with a flick and a swipe, Beichuan Si could dispatch one with his Jian Ding.
"What exactly happened for so many members of the Magong Family to have perished?"
Beichuan Si sheathed his Jian Ding, which glowed with a dull silver light, and looked back at the Magong estate.
He had conducted all the necessary investigations inside the Magong Family household; it was time to head to Shenzhu Mountain to search for any trace of Shenzhu Shrine.
Most shrines in Japan have a pilgrimage path, and a place as revered by villagers as Shenzhu Shrine should have one as well.
"But so much time has passed, I wonder if the path is still intact..."
Beichuan Si shook his head.
