Fu Rong listened to Master Lin patiently without interrupting him. Only after he finished speaking about what had happened to him and his family did she raise her concerns. "Master Lin, there are many reasons for facing repeated misfortunes. I want to check the reason for your misfortunes," she said, then closed her eyes to divine.
After closing her eyes, she received many visions swiftly, like a film. Fu Rong concentrated more to gain a clear vision of those incidents. The Lin family had a foothold in the construction business. A month ago, Master Lin saw a piece of land in a central location at a cheaper rate. The previous owner, who was desperate to sell the land, directly took the deal and completed the procedures quickly. After buying the land, Master Lin was returning to the company when the accident occurred.
Fu Rong frowned and opened her eyes. "Master Lin, did you buy the land in the central location last month?" she asked him directly. Master Lin's eyes widened in shock, and he had a bad premonition.
"Miss Fu, yes. I bought the land, and on the same day, I had the accident," he said, feeling his heart clench.
"Master Lin, do you know why the price of the land was cheaper in a central location, while other land in the same area is triple the price?" she questioned him.
"Miss Fu, before I bought the land, I asked the nearby people and the previous owner. They told me some people were spreading rumors about the land being haunted to reduce the price, and the owner wanted to sell it soon to avoid troublemakers lowering the price further," he explained, but deep down he began to realize the problem.
"Miss Fu, is the land really haunted? Is that why the previous owner wanted to sell it quickly, and is that why I had the accident on the same day?" He questioned her, but his tone was affirmative.
"Master Lin, more or less, yes. But I need to confirm it. Can we go to the land now? Only then can I see what to do to save your family. This matter is urgent since the cadaveric qi on the three of you is very strong and could affect you at any time," Fu Rong said, not wanting to risk their lives by delaying.
Master Lin was terrified by her answer. He already knew what was happening to his family. If any one of them lost their life, their family would be heartbroken. He immediately took action. He invited Fu Rong to the land, and all three members of the Lin family, along with Fu Rong and Zhu Ximing, left to check the land.
...
Mu Ling, who came out of his apartment, saw a familiar figure with a group of people getting into a car and immediately driving off. Mu Ling felt extremely uneasy in his heart and wanted to follow Fu Rong. Without further thought, he got into his car and asked the driver to follow her vehicle.
When the car stopped, he saw Fu Rong and the Lin family walking towards the land. He recognized the middle-aged man as the head of the Lin family, who had recently purchased the land at a rate three times cheaper. Although others said he was lucky to strike a great deal, Mu Ling knew very well that unless there was a flaw, the price wouldn't have been so low in a central location.
Mu Ling followed the group from behind. They stood aside while only Fu Rong went to the center of the land and threw a few yellow talismans. "What is she trying to do?" he wondered with concern.
But it didn't take a minute before the scene in front of him completely changed. The usually composed and aloof CEO lost his composure, unable to control his shock. In front of him, Fu Rong, who had thrown the talismans, was suddenly lifted into the air and floating.
Not only him, but the group of people who came with Fu Rong also stood there in shock. For the first time in his life, Mu Ling felt fear for Fu Rong. He immediately ran forward toward her.
...
Fu Rong, who had arrived at the land, looked around. She didn't feel any yin energy, and everything seemed normal. However, something inside her warned of danger, and her body felt a sense of fear.
She quickly took out a few yellow talismans she had drawn and threw them into the air. Minutes passed. Just as she thought she needed to ask the locals about the land's backstory, she felt her body tremble. She was lifted into the air, and scenes began to flow through her mind. As she processed the visions, she caught a glimpse of Mu Ling running towards her.
"Stop there!" she instructed Mu Ling. Mu Ling, who had been running toward her, could no longer remain calm. He stopped near the group of people but felt an overwhelming sense of unease. He clenched his fists in his pockets.
Seeing that Mu Ling had stopped, Fu Rong continued to observe the vision. The land had once belonged to a small family. However, in their greed, the family sought a warlock to improve their luck and wealth.
The warlock, also greedy for money, gave the family's head an idea to enhance their wealth through human sacrifice. Following the warlock's advice, the family purchased children and women from human traffickers and sacrificed them in rituals on the land.
Their wealth slowly grew. They started construction on the land and continued making sacrifices. But human nature is never satisfied with what it has—greed demands more.
Due to the human sacrifices, the spirits of the murdered people grew resentful, and the warlock could no longer contain them. To appease them, the family's head tricked his sister and her family into visiting. Under the warlock's guidance, he drugged them and sacrificed them as well.
What they hadn't foreseen was that the sister, although drugged, awoke and witnessed her entire family being sacrificed. She was still alive but immobile when they sacrificed her, and her anger, agony, and resentment combined with the spirits' previous grievances, turning her into a vengeful evil spirit.
Shocked by the sudden change, the warlock sealed the place with a ghost lock array and left. The resentment grew into a grudge field, and all the members of the family died gruesome deaths.
