Chapter 13 - Chapter 13

Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe snuck in at the back of the residence. It is a quiet courtyard. There is no one in here. Both cautiously get out from the courtyard. As they walk a bit, they almost bump with the servants that appear from the corner.

"Hey! What level are you now?"

"I finally able to reach third level. Lord Jun is very generous to impart us with cultivation technique."

"Yeah! Not only we are able to cultivate, but we also help people to absorb their resentment energy."

Those servant's faces are pale, and their body seems light. Their feet barely touch the ground. This scene is everywhere in the residence. Li Zian even sees a small child being possessed playing with a ball. That child seems to notice Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe. He stands and stare towards Li Zian's direction. Ling Min Zhe wants to quickly leave that boy sight. Li Zian holds Ling Min Zhe sleeve.

"Stand still." Ling Min Zhe nodded. That child slowly moves towards Li Zian. He stares at Li Zian and Li Zian look at him. Li Zian did not talk. Ling Min Zhe is tense beside her. He looks at the child and Li Zian, 'Is this child can really see us? Did the talisman lose its function?'

The maid take the child and they float away. Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe follows that child. From time to time that child will stop as if he is waiting for Li Zian. Ling Min Zhe is getting goosebumps. He turns his head towards Li Zian and Li Zian nods her head, "He did not see us, but he can sense us. He means no harm, do not worry."

They follow that child wandering in the residence and Li Zian manage to get a few clues. First, all the people in this residence are possessed and cultivate using resentment energy. Second, there are roughly six hundred ghosts in this residence. Third, the main hall has the strongest resentment energy that overwhelm Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe.

That child faces forward the main hall. "Mom! Dad! Chao er is here!" That child shout at the main hall.

"Young Master, it is best to not disturb..."

The main hall door is open. Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe retreat a bit because of the sudden resentment energy pours out from the main hall. A group of possessed people comes out from the main hall.

"Xiao Chao why are you here? The sun is not good for us now. You should be cultivating in your room." A woman in her late twenties ask with a gentle voice.

The possessed group from the main hall have strong resentment energy. They probably at seven or eight level of Qi Refinement but Li Zian notices a problem in their cultivation. Their advancement is too quick. Chao er throws his ball away and Li Zian drag Ling Min Zhe out from the residence.

Li Zian and Ling Min Zhe back to the inn. In her room Zhong has come back with a few guests. Zhong introduce Master Ao Tian to Li Zian.

"Zhong always talk about you, Master Ao Tian." Zhong just keep a poker face and Ling Min Zhe cannot help to glance towards the other guests.

"Really?! I hope it is a good talk. Ha...Ha...Ha. Master Fang Zian this two is my nephew and niece, they are twins." Li Zian look and nodded at the twins. Zhong is pouring tea to Li Zian and Master Ao Tian while Ling Min Zhe and the twins is standing behind their respective master.

"Master Fang Zian you should know that based of our agreement from previous Jiangong, us his former assistant will not interfere with Jiangong anymore especially against him."

Li Zian raise one of her eyebrows, "Oh! You believe that this disaster occurs because of him?"

"Not believe but certain. I will not fail to recognize his people even if they don multiple disguise." Master Ao show hatred on his face and his resentment increase above the safety level.

"Ao Tian! You lose yourself." Zhong remind Master Ao Tian gently. Master Ao Tian nephew and niece quite shoke when their uncle suddenly release a strong pressure.

"Hump! I am not that weak!" Master Ao Tian take the cup and drink the tea rashly then he forcefully put the cup on the table.

"That is why I bring my nephew and niece. I cannot interfere but that does not include my relative."

"I understand your grudge with him. Well, I am here because of him." Li Zian smiles towards Master Ao Tian but Master Ao Tian shudders seeing that smile. The smile is very sweet and pleasing to the eyes but if you see Li Zian's eyes nothing sweet can be found in there. It is dark and cold. Master Ao Tian jolted up and introduces his niece and nephew before disappears from the room.

"My name is Ao Chau Xiang and my sister is Ao Cheng Guang." The twins kneel towards Li Zian after their uncle out from their sight. They are grumble in their heart 'How could uncle just leave like that? What are they suppose to do?' Both of them saw Li Zian's eyes and it took courage for them to stay there.

Li Zian sip the tea calmly. Ling Min Zhe already experienced and just stand calmly while holding his laugh, 'That is just her usual smile but they totally scared.' Ling Min Zhe tried his best to not saying it out loud.

"Alright, Lin Min Zhe arrange their room and tell them about our investigation. As soon as Ling Min Zhe and the twins get out from Li Zian's room he laugh out loud and surprise the twins.

"Am I that scary?" Li Zian glance at Zhong.

"Next time if you want to smile make sure to smile with crescent eyes." Zhong let out a small chuckle. "Tsk!" Li Zian sits on her bed and meditates.

Ling Min Zhe explain to the twins what happened in the city and still giggle when he remember the scene before. The twins are ashamed with their behaviour and decided to work hard to improve their image by work hard to solve the disaster. That night, Li Zian and her team goes to the Chu Residence. Ling Min Zhe and the twins already build a formation to isolate the residence. Six hundreds ghost in the Che residence is enough for them now, they do not need any stray ghost coming.

Li Zian did not snuck in like before. She storms in through the front door. Ling Min Zhe and the twins are beside her. Each one of them have pasted the yang talisman as a precaution from any sneak attack by the ghost. In the dark residence four of them like a firefly illuminate the darkness. After entering Li Zian moves towards the main hall where the highest resentment energy gather.

Li Zian take out her bow and arrows and start firing any ghost that approaches. That arrow is a special arrow created from paper and it is made by the twins. It will not harm the living. Each arrow struck on the possessed person glabella. The ghost that posses the person is forced out and pinned on the wall of the floor. Ling Min Zhe swings his sword and each sword forced the ghost out of the body they posses and Cheng Guang will throws talisman to the ghost to render them immobile. Chau Xiang recite holy scripture and it hinder the ghost movement. The closer the ghost towards him the stronger the yang energy and purify their resentment energy. Then, when he is close to the ghost he just paste the talisman on the ghost.

The ghosts come wave by wave, after thirty minutes Li Zian and the others finally arrive at the main hall. All of them is panting a bit. They quickly eat Qi gathering pill and regulate their energy. The main hall doors open and ten people comes out from the hall.

"Welcome! Master Jiangong." A young man greets Li Zian. A beautiful woman stand beside the young man, " The esteem person has told me about you."

Ling Min Zhe and the twins circle Li Zian to protect her. The ordinary ghost did not dare to attack them but who knows if the ghost have some trick on them?

"Since you know about us Jiangong, why choose this road?"

"Ha...Ha...Ha!" The young man and the other ghost laugh out loud.

"We did nothing wrong." An elderly ghost refute. The young man make a stop sign with his palm, "That esteem person told us that Jiangong is to oversee the resentment in human. We are helping you Jiangong by absorbing those resentments energy from the human. In just a week this city enter a peaceful state. There are no crimes in the city and everyone is in a good relationship with each other."
