Xu Yang: "...…"
What the hell?
Am I dreaming?
Where's my little sister?
He was half asleep, with heavy eyelids swept around to find he was at home, then he dozed off again.
In the corner of the room.
The female ghost slowly made herself visible.
Looking at Xu Yang who had fallen asleep again, she patted her high bosom, saying with a relieved face, "That was close. I, the king, have preserved my chastity for over 500 years, yet today I almost lost my purity to this lad..."
"Ding!"
"The female ghost was frightened, +100 merit points."
A voice rang out in Xu Yang's mind again.
He turned over, smacking his lips and sleeping soundly.
The female ghost shook her head at the sight.
She pointed her delicate, jade-like hand into the void.
Buzz!
A gentle yin wind picked up the blanket on the bed and laid it accurately on Xu Yang.
.........
The Wu City Public Security Bureau, Litong branch.
"Master, we have clues!"
The young police officer, Xiao Zhang, walked quickly into Officer Lao Wang's office, turned on his mobile phone, and played a video.
Officer Lao Wang took a close look.
It was a live broadcast recorded on the screen, with a barrage of banners.
The timestamp was 22:38 on June 18, 2023.
In the video, a beautifully and seductively dressed female host was chatting with fans while saying "Thank you, big bro," constantly pulling at her collar, deliberately shaking her dazzling cleavage at the camera.
Lao Wang frowned, scolding, "I asked you little brat to investigate the case of the cemetery tomb robbing, why are you showing me this?"
Xiao Zhang: "This female host is an outdoor broadcast host from our Wu city, recently she has attracted numerous fans by conducting paranormal adventures. Last night, she was at the cemetery to the north of the city!"
He fast-forwarded the video by a few minutes.
Xiao Zhang pointed at the mobile phone screen and said, "Master, look here..."
Lao Wang took a close look, only to see the background of the video — the highway beside the cemetery to the north of the city.
On the highway, there was a parked black car.
Two people dressed in black and wearing masks walked out of the cemetery, stuffed a package into the car, and then quickly drove away.
Lao Wang's eyes lit up and said, "The license plate number, check this license plate number!"
They immediately started investigating.
Starting with the license plate number, they started inquiring. They worked through the night without sleep. Just as dawn was about to break, Lao Wang's phone suddenly rang.
The disciple leaned over to take a look.
"Director Chen... Master, is it Director Chen from the Municipal Bureau?"
Nodding his head, Lao Wang answered the phone and said, "Hello, Director Chen. ..."
From the other end of the phone came a voice, "Lao Wang, are you investigating the case of tomb robbing at the cemetery?"
Lao Wang was taken aback. Had this case alerted the head of the municipal bureau?
Without waiting for his reply, Director Chen on the other end of the phone added, "Don't bother investigating this case anymore."
"No more investigation?"
Lao Wang was anxious: "Why? Director Chen, I already have a clue. I have a feeling that this case is extraordinary, there might be bigger hidden facts behind it..."
"Lao Wang, you're an experienced officer."
Director Chen spoke cryptically: "You've also served in critical crime units. I reckon you can guess some things without me spelling them out... You need not investigate the tomb robbing activity at the cemetery. Someone from above will follow up."
Lao Wang was stunned, then his face turned serious as if he had thought of something.
......
At the same time.
Lingzhou City.
Lingzhou City, adjacent to Wu City, was originally a city, but later became part of the provincial capital of Xi Xia Province, "Yin City", which is about 20 kilometers from Wu City.
In a hotel suite.
On the bed.
A middle-aged man lay unconscious with his eyes tightly closed.
His pale face was eerily covered in a few traces of black air.
At the bedside, stood two men.
One was a man in his forties, dressed in a black training suit, his hands holding two walnuts.
The other was a twenty-ish-year-old youth.
The youth, with a worried look on his face, inquired, "Mr. Lin, how is my master doing?"
"Internal organs have shifted, Yin energy invading."
The middle-aged man referred to as "Mr. Lin" says, "Stay with your master, help him arrange his posthumous matters..."
"Impossible!"
"This is impossible!"
The youth's face drastically changed as he shouted, "My master is a fourth realm martial master, powerful, full of vitality, what kind of malevolent being or Yin entity can harm my master so severely?"
"Red Robe…"
"Mr. Lin" serious face slowly spilled out these two words.
Upon hearing this, the youth's face changed again.
He gritted his teeth, knelt down with a pat, and begged, "Mr. Lin, please save my master. Over the years, my master has done many things for your Lu Shan Sect, even if not meritorious, he put in a great deal of effort. This time he is in trouble, it's because he was helping your Lu Shan Sect…"
"Hmm?"
Mr. Lin snorted coldly.
An invisible aura burst from his body. The youth felt an abrupt stagnation in the air, as if an immense pressure was acting on him.
Mr. Lin then calmly said, "I remember your master's contributions… he is not a grandmaster, his martial arts haven't practiced to the point of mastering his internal organs. Now his organs have shifted, even if I can suppress the Yin energy, I fear he will be disabled for the rest of his life!"
"Please, Mr. Lin, help him!"
The youth on the ground knocked his head again and again.
Mr. Lin's face showed an awkward expression, after pondering for tens of seconds, he finally made a decision that looked like he was "betraying the ancestors" and said, "Alright, out of respect for your filial piety, even if I have to risk my life today, I'll help you to exorcise the Yin energy from your master's body!"
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"
"From now on, my life belongs to you, Mr. Lin. No matter how dangerous or difficult, I will never shrink back!"
"I understand your gratitude, get up now!"
Inside his heart, he was unbearably proud of his manipulative skills.
If he cured the master immediately, Wang Wei would just take it for granted that he was supposed to save his master.
With a slight manipulation, he can make this kid devote himself fully.
Otherwise, if his master became disabled, who would help him with his affairs?
As for the Yin energy entering the body?
This might be extremely difficult for others, but his sect, the Lu Shan Sect, has a history of over a thousand years, our specialty is to exorcise and drive away evil spells.
The Yin entity of the Red Robe level is formidable, but as a Daoist practitioner in the realm of Daoism, expelling it would only cost a bit of my cultivation!
He came to the bedside.
His Daoist aura blooming, he produced a Daoist talisman and began the exorcism chant, "Supreme Ruler of Destiny, Lord Regeneration, relieve disasters, eradicate evils..."
With his chanting, the Daoist talisman turned into a transparent energy, which entered the nostrils and mouth of the man lying on the bed.
At once, a Yin wind blew severely within the man's body.
The terrifying Yin energy transformed into a treacherous ghostly shadow in the room and bolted towards "Mr. Lin".
"No!"
Mr. Lin's pupils sharply contracted, and he only had time to shout, "This is not a Red Robe, your master misled me..."
The ghostly shadow ran through him.
Mr. Lin spurted out the blood from his mouth and nose, his vitality dwindling, and he fell straight to the ground.
Wang Wei: "...…"
His face was shocked, he stepped forward to check Mr. Lin's breath, and after a while, he took steps back, his face showing an inconceivable expression!
Mr. Lin...
Did he really risk his life?
This...
How is this possible!
Mr. Lin was a highly respected member of the Lu Shan Sect, a great cultivator in the realm of Daoism, even if he walked sideways in Xi Xia province, there wouldn't be any problem, how could he just die!
.........
Meanwhile in Wu City.
In a funeral shop.
A female ghost was standing by the balcony, looking out of the window, she smiled scornfully when she sensed something.
"Ah!"
Just at this moment, a sharp scream came.
On the sofa.
Xu Yang was shocked and yelled, "Where are my clothes... Where are my clothes..."
He suddenly looked up.
Seeing the female ghost floating towards him, Xu Yang's hands and feet turned cold, he trembled all over, and angrily said, "What... What did you do to me?"
...…
