reed and resentment in this place. We need to cleanse the air around us first."The talisman dissipated quickly. I was about to say don't draw talismans inside anymore, there's paper ash and smoke.A gu..."Give me up" I was taken aback, looking up at Mu Wanchen.

Mu Wanchen seemed to have known the other party's purpose long ago, his tone unruffled: "Do you think it's possible Either make a move, or get lost. You have a place to hide now, and I can't do anything about you for the time being, but if you touch her... no matter where you hide, I will drag you out."

That raspy voice let out two dry laughs: "Shouldn't, shouldn't... Little fellow, have you forgotten the teachings of the ancient god-kings Women only hinder your cultivation. You shouldn't place too much importance on a woman, no matter how beautiful she is, she's just a tool."

This old geezer is such a pain to talk to, are all the previous Divine Kings raised as straight men It seems like Mu Wanchen is the most normal one in terms of mindset.

The spreading darkness stopped a zhang away from me and Mu Wanchen.

This is the boundary, isn't it The Three Realms and Six Paths, after all, have rules and boundaries that one shouldn't easily cross.

The talisman that Mu Wanchen had previously dissolved transformed into a faint, luminous barrier, protecting the area where we stood and preventing this strange aura from intruding.

“I never gave up on finding someone who could raise the female gu. Someone with that physique would surely complement us… Several years ago, someone saw this name and birthdate and location on a cliff face. I had my eye on her before you did, but…” The black figure coughed, its voice a rasping whisper.

"But...she's actually a twin, and twins are considered unlucky. This clouded my judgment, and I didn't expect you to seize the opportunity first."

Mu Wanchen interrupted him, asking bluntly, "Why would an ordinary middle-aged man harm him just now"

“An ordinary person” The raspy male voice let out a few dry laughs: “In this mundane world, money can make ghosts grind their wheels. He’s a rich man, but he fell prey to lust, just as I planned… I sent someone to seduce his young, vain and restless wife, tempting her to use necromancy to send him to his demise, thus obtaining a huge inheritance. Hehe… To operate in this mortal world, you need money…”

Mú Wǎnchen chatted with him while secretly laying out a plan.

He held my hand, curling his ring finger and slightly pointing his middle finger at the ground, giving a little tug.

It tickled my palm, and soon a chill rose from the ground.

What kind of soul-insect is this It slowly crept up my calf, crawled across my chest, and stopped on my shoulder.

I'm still not used to being in close contact with these little masters, I nervously stare at the faint white mist on my shoulder.

"Don't be afraid." Mu Wanchen let go of my hand.

He can't possibly hold me back while I fight others, and he also needs his hands free to draw talismans.

As soon as the other party saw Mu Wanchen preparing to make a move, they immediately retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

Mu Wanchen frowned slightly, walked out of the range protected by the talismans, and said in a deep voice: "Old monster... are you so afraid of a junior Then you might as well take back your thoughts about Yin Luo."

"Hmph, hmph... Yinglong is on you, I wouldn't dare provoke you easily. Of course, I can only eat you bit by bit, slowly..." His voice suddenly came from behind me.

I whipped my head around, and the space seemed to warp like a shattered mirror. The doors and windows on either side hung upside down above me, and that figure materialized behind me, extending several withered arms from the darkness on the floor.

Those arms emerged from the grave like skeletons, fingers sinewy and broken, reaching out for me with the desperation of a drowning man.

TheGu spirit on my shoulder suddenly jumped up, spitting out several silvery-white threads that stuck to me. In an instant, it lifted me up and threw me backward, dodging the hand that suddenly shot out from the ground.

What is this I raised my hand to look at my arm, as if a thread from a puppet show was glued to me, pulling me up with great force.

Lifting my gaze, I saw a giant spider web in the cracks of the ceiling above me. The white mist jumped into the center of the web, using long threads to pull me along.

This guiling was a spider, it pulled me up in time to avoid the hands that suddenly shot out from the ground and walls.

I am safe for now, Mu Wanchen is focused on dealing with the person hiding in the darkness. His slender fingers hold a few talismans, pale blue flames flickering and burning. He raises his hand and flicks —

Arrows flew like meteors, and flames darted like lightning.

It shot straight into the darkness, incinerating the limbs of the otherworldly creatures that reached out.

Finally fell into a bottomless black hole.

That black hole should be a crack in another dimension. Mu Wanchen's talisman fire flew into it like a bull into the sea, disappearing without a ripple.

He drew a short sword from his waist and, with a flick of his wrist, the blade's tip flared with an eerie glow, cold as frost.

"You, an old monster hiding in another world, actually know the inscription on the mountain cliff within the Fa Men. It seems your tentacles are everywhere..." Mu Wanchen's voice carried a hint of anger.

That rasping laughter drifted far away: "Heh heh, heh heh... You think you can really fool people Heh heh... There are always people willing to be used by me... No need to rush, we'll... take our time..."

He vanished into the distance, along with his voice. We were trapped—people crowded both in front of and behind us!

It's a person.

Those who emerged from the darkness had bloodshot eyes, saliva and filth dripping from their mouths. They were local homeless people and drunkards.

"—No, we can't kill them! They are all human!" I whispered to him.

These are cannon fodder manipulated by the old monster. Murder is illegal, the police will definitely find us, and this is a huge karmic retribution!

This is different from the essence of ghost hunting and exorcism. Those who involve themselves in yin and yang should pay more attention to how to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

Besides, my family is one that strives to do good every day and even avoids harsh words. How much less would we commit murder!

"Hmm." A barely perceptible twitch of his lips.

"...Why are you smiling" He often chuckled inexplicably, leaving me utterly confused.

"You look like a bird with clipped wings, trying to avoid taking a life," he chuckled, shaking his head.

I was still being held by his little goblin, about to retort, when I heard a faint "chuckle" on my shoulder.

Silk, soft and wrinkle-friendly, wash with water, lay flat to dry, do not twist forcefully.

It couldn't bear my weight at all. It tore from the shoulders, the buttons popped open immediately, and my body plummeted downwards —

Mu Wanchen reached out in time to embrace me, his other hand wielding a sword and sweeping it across the ground. Those withered arms were shattered by the sword qi, exploding into clusters of gray-white dust that vanished into the darkness.

My shirt ripped open a big hole, and my undershirt was useless, effectively turning me into a backless garment.

I'm dying of laughter...

He patted my back, his hand warm in the stillness of the night.

"Hold on, I'll take you home right away."d white fur coat, he casually replied, 'You rich kid, what are you doing in the mountains Go home quickly!' ""So you're treating it as a human" I asked.Mu Wanchen smiled and nodded: "So this yellow-sk...
