“Senior Brother… Is she human?” At this time, Qin Guanhai straightened up from the ground and was looking at Chen Yu in disbelief.
“Little Junior Brother, don’t talk nonsense, and quickly apologize.” The young man was obviously much richer in knowledge than his Little Junior Brother. A person who could stand perfectly calm in place with such an oppressive evil qi showed that her cultivation was unfathomable.
“I’m sorry…” When Qin Guanhai discovered that his opponent was not a ghost but a human, his face flushed, and he apologized.
“Did you think I was a malevolent ghost before attacking?” Chen Yu asked.
“Hmm.” The young man nodded with a red face.
“With just this level of cultivation, how did you have the courage to attack me?” The evil qi in her body was comparable to that of a malevolent ghost with 600 years of dao. At a glance, the young man had been practicing the arts recently. So, where did he get his courage from?
When the teenager heard this, he was even more ashamed of himself.
The hour has arrived. The Nian Beast had begun to swallow the filthy aura, and the malevolent ghosts within a five mile radius around the beast began to stir. Chen Yu no longer continued talking to them, thinking that she still had 70 malevolent ghosts to exorcise. She turned out of the woods and headed toward the gathering of malevolent ghosts.
Shortly after Chen Yu left, three more Celestial Masters came into the woods, led by a young man with delicate features. If Chen Yu was there, she would have recognized that the man was none other than Lu Ning, the owner of the Soul Summoning Bell she met in Pingcheng.
“Guanhai, are you okay?” Lu Ning rushed forward with two other people.
“Yeah.” The teenager shook his head in a depressed mood.
Noticing the teenager’s low mood, Lu Ning looked strangely at the young man on the side and asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
Concerned about his Junior Brother’s dignity, the young man shook his head and did not speak.
Lu Ning also didn’t pursue it. He only said out loud, “It’s already past twelve, and the Nian beast has begun to swallow the filthy aura. The remaining malevolent ghosts will become more and more powerful. Let’s act together and don’t separate.”
“Lu Ning is right. The five of us should act together.” The younger of the two who came with Lu Ning nodded in agreement.
“Senior Brother Liang, I’ll lead the way in front, you take the rear. Let Liang Yu and Guanhai walk in the middle,” Lu Ning suggested.
Liang Guang nodded and agreed to Lu Ning’s arrangement.
In addition to Lu Ning, the other four of the five were descendants of the Liang and the Qin families, the two famed great families of exorcists in the capital. In order to accumulate merit points, the five came out together to exorcise ghosts. Liang Yu and Qin Guanhai were the worst of the five, so Lu Ning arranged them in the middle.
The line of five people slowly advanced forward. While walking, they encountered malevolent ghosts and exorcised them. Of course, it was mainly the front and back of the three who did the exorcising.
Liang Yu, who was walking in the middle, looked at the teenager who vigorously said that he wanted to kill monsters and demons before they left, but had now suddenly wilted with his head low. He asked curiously, “Guanhai, what’s wrong?
“Brother Liang Yu…,” the teenager said, looking at Liang Yu in dejection. “I suddenly found myself so useless.”
Liang Yu asked curiously, “Why do you say that all of a sudden? My grandfather even praised you for your keen perception of yin and evil qi.”
“…” It was because of this that the teenager was haunted by the fact that he just mistook a human being for a malevolent ghost ah. Good thing he merely used a peach wooden sword just now. If it were other magic weapons, what was he going to do if he had hurt someone?
“Although your current cultivation is not as good as your Senior Brother, that’s because your enlightenment was late. In time, you will certainly be stronger than your brother.” Liang Yu said, “I’m the one who’s miserable. I’m not well qualified, and I definitely can’t surpass my cousin.”
Qin Guanhai also heard about Liang Yu’s circumstances. Before he was enlightened, his situation at home was almost the same as that of Liang Yu. He was a direct descendant from a lineage of exorcists, but without much talent. The only advantage he had over Liang Yu was that he had no genius cousin above him. “Senior Brother Liang Guang and Senior Brother Lu Ning are both rare geniuses in metaphysics, and my father said that their qualifications are rare.”
“What kind of genius are they? I know another expert who is called genius.” His online friend, Road Repair Expert, was only a freshman this year and collected a malevolent ghost that Liang Guang, the so-called genius, couldn’t even clean up.
Speaking of which, Road Repair Expert was also in the capital, so if he was also out to accumulate merit points, he should also be around here at this time. Reminded of this, Liang Yu took out his phone and sent a message to the expert: Master, Master, have you come out to exorcise?
“Are there geniuses who are more powerful than Senior Brother Lu Ning and Senior Brother Liang Guang?” Qin Guanhai said in surprise.
“That’s for sure. It’s possible that he’s also around here.” Liang Yu noticed that after sending the message, no reply came from the other side. Although he was a bit lost, he believed that the other party was probably busy exorcising at this time, so he did not think much about it.
“Huh…” While the two were chatting, Qin Guanhai suddenly stopped in his tracks. He looked directly south of a valley and froze.
“What’s wrong?” Liang Yu couldn’t help but curiously asked when Qin Guanhai stopped moving.
Qin Guanhai did not speak. He looked straight at the valley in the south, frowned and involuntarily had a cold shiver.
Noticing that something was wrong with the teenager, Liang Yu hurriedly called out to the two people walking in front of him, “Lu Ning, Senior Brother Shao, wait a moment.”
Lu Ning, who was scouting ahead, stopped at his call and turned around. He walked back a few steps to the two men: “What’s wrong?”
“Guanhai suddenly stopped moving,” Liang Yu explained.
Lu Ning’s eyebrows went rigid. His eyes darted and quickly exchanged a glance with Qin Guanhai’s Senior Brother. The two coincidentally remembered the advice of the elders at home before they came out.
At this time, Liang Guang, who had just finished solving a malevolent ghost also arrived. When he saw the four people standing still, he asked curiously, “Why aren’t you moving?”
Lu Ning did not say anything but just pointed to Qin Guanhai’s direction with his eyes.
Liang Guang obviously also knew Qin Guanhai’s peculiarity. Although he was also surprised, he didn’t ask any further.
After about five minutes, Qin Guanhai gradually regained his consciousness. He raised his finger to the valley he had just been staring at and said, “There… seems to be something over there. It’s very dangerous.”
Qin Guanhai was the young grandson of the current patriarch of the Qin family, born in a family of metaphysics like the Qin family. However, when he was young, he was unable to perceive spiritual power. It was only at the age of thirteen that he suddenly became enlightened, and after he did so, he possessed extremely strong perception and was able to foresee danger in advance.
Before coming out, the Qin family repeatedly instructed that Qin Guanhai’s trip outside this time to exorcise ghosts was focused on experience. If they found anything that made Qin Guanhai feel danger, then they must not touch it.
“Then let’s go around it,” Liang Yu, the timid one, said.
“Let’s take a look.” Liang Guang, however, became interested. When he walked this evening, the malevolent ghosts he encountered weren’t good enough, and there was no challenge in fighting them.
“But Uncle Qin has repeatedly instructed us not to go to a place that Guanhai feels dangerous.” Lu Ning was a little embarrassed.
“Guanhai has only cultivated for three years, and he came out to exorcise ghosts for the first time this year. The places he thinks are dangerous does not mean that it’s also dangerous to us, ah,” Liang Guang countered.
When Lu Ning heard that, he felt that Liang Guang’s argument had some truth in it. Although Qin Guanhai’s perception of Yin and Evil Qi was very keen, his cultivation level was too low. The danger he perceived wasn’t necessarily dangerous for others.
“How about this? I’ll go alone and take a look.” When Liang Guang saw Lu Ning hesitate, he decided to head there by himself to take a look.
“No, we agreed to act together.” Lu Ning hesitated and said, “Senior Brother Shao, accompany Guanhai and Liang Yu and wait here. I’ll go with Senior Brother Liang to check it out.”
“I…I want to go too,” before Senior Brother Shao could answer, Qin Guanhai himself suddenly said.
“Don’t you think it’s dangerous? Are you still going when you feel it’s dangerous?” Liang Yu asked.
“I feel that there is something there, something very good.” Although dangerous, it was something very good.
Meanwhile, after using evil qi to dispel the 60th malevolent ghost, Chen Yu took out her phone to see how much time was left, and found a message from March Floating Rain.
March Floating Rain: Great God, Great God, have you come out to exorcise?
Chen Yu replied in passing: Yeah, you are also exorcising ghosts?
Chen Yu replied. As soon as she put her mobile phone back in her pocket, she heard a Ding. She knew it was March Floating Rain’s reply. When she was about to take it out and look again, a malevolent ghost pounced without warning. Chen Yu raised her eyebrow and slapped it, harvesting screams from it.
Chen Yu forgot about the message on her phone as soon as she started exorcising. When she remembered it again, it was already twenty minutes later. She took her phone out and saw two huge characters on it, plus an exclamation mark:
Help!
……
If I go there now, will I be too late?
Chen Yu looked at the location prompt that immediately followed. March Floating Rain was less than 500 meters away from her.
The author has something to say:
Lou Ming called home.
Mrs. Lou: Son, why didn’t you answer your phone just now?
Lou Ming felt embarrassed: I didn’t hear it ring.
Mrs. Lou: Did you eat Sichuan cuisine this evening? Your lips are red and swollen.
Lou Ming silently covered his mouth…
