Having decided to head to Beijing, Huang Xiaolong took Ma Chuxia and others, bypassing both Wu Xi and Suzhou, and made his way toward the capital.
Along the journey, every time they passed through a city, Huang Xiaolong would release the Ghost Banner.
With the formidable Dongying spirit, Sadako from the mountain village, as its anchor, not only had the quality of the Ghost Banner improved immensely, its power became boundless, and its ability to detect the presence of Dongying ghosts was even more accurate than Huang Xiaolong himself.
In other words, every time they went through a city and deployed the Ghost Banner to wreak havoc, they were able to exterminate the restless Dongying ghosts lying hidden within, never failing to succeed.
This left Huang Xiaolong with nothing to do, so he spent his days leisurely sightseeing with Ma Chuxia, Huo Bingyan, and the three little demons.
