Chapter 701: Chapter 699 Brother Hao Takes Action

"Master Lin, this..." Fang Huai De glanced at Fang Xiaoxue, then at Lin Shengyun, his tone full of unease, and asked, "Is my little Xiaoxue obedient..."

"Rest assured," Lin Shengyun said confidently, his right hand pressing firmly on the Small Donghuang Bell, and then he explained, "I just pinched the left side of Miss Xiaoxue’s right middle finger and felt a strong pulse beating ceaselessly. When I increased the pressure, Xiaoxue felt nothing, and I understood what was happening."

"What’s going on?!" a crowd of people exclaimed in unison.

"Hmph, it’s just a peripheral thing of our sect," Lin Shengyun said nonchalantly, "Actually, Miss Xiaoxue isn’t cursed, she’s just trapped in an interplay of Yin within Yang and Yang within Yin, hmph, merely possessed by a ghost. Now that I have sucked the ghost into the Small Donghuang Bell, all that remains is to perform a ritual to send the ghost away, and Miss Xiaoxue will naturally be safe and sound!"

He said this, muttering some words that Wang Hao couldn’t understand at all, sounding a bit like Sanskrit, babbling away. Then, Lin Shengyun took out a triangular yellow talisman from his pocket, took a sip of alcohol, and sprayed it into the air, wetting it with saliva, and with a "snap" stuck it on Fang Xiaoxue’s forehead.

"Hurry, as the decree commands, Taishang Daojun protect us!" Lin Shengyun shouted, then took out eight triangular incense sticks and arranged them in eight directions, lighting them up.

He continued muttering under his breath, channeling energy through his right index finger.

At the same time, he bit his lower lip, using the blood from his lip to lay out a nine palace grid on his left palm, enhancing the auspicious mountain star to protect his own life and suppress the ambient negative energy.

"Open!" After busying himself for a while, Lin Shengyun suddenly slammed his palm on Fang Xiaoxue’s chest!

"Ho—!!" The crowd was startled by this action, seeing Fang Xiaoxue’s complexion turn stark white and her whole body shook violently.

"It’s done," Lin Shengyun then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Miss Xiaoxue must have seen something frightening earlier and was shocked. I have just helped her exorcise the ghost and stabilize her spirit. She just needs a few more days of rest and there should be no serious issues."

His bustling actions truly appeared formidable and mysterious. Upon hearing that Xiaoxue would be alright, Fang Huai De was immensely relieved and laughed loudly, "Good! Great! Master Lin’s skills are truly extraordinary! Master Lin, rest assured, once my Xiaoxue recovers, I guarantee she will not let you down. Also, everyone present has worked hard, I absolutely won’t let you all be unrewarded this time!"

Seeing that rewards were forthcoming, everyone was extremely happy.

Then, Lin Shengyun chuckled at Wang Hao, saying, "Young brother, I’m really sorry, but I had to take the trouble this time. I think with our relationship, you certainly wouldn’t want any of the benefits, right?"

With his rituals concluded and feeling triumphant, his gaze towards Wang Hao was full of mockery, clearly having the expression of seeing how Wang Hao would handle the situation.

"This is hard to say," Wang Hao replied with a chuckle, shrugging his shoulders, "Master Lin has been busy, but whether Xiaoxue is really well, it’s hard to tell. Perhaps you should check again?"

"Could I really make a mistake with my own hands?!" Lin Shengyun chuckled coldly and stepped forward to grab Fang Xiaoxue’s wrist, "Let’s see if she’s fine or... Aaah! Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Who would have thought that joy often breeds sorrow? The moment Lin Shengyun grasped Fang Xiaoxue’s wrist, he felt an intense pain. Xiaoxue’s eyes were fierce, her expression was ferocious, and she foamed at the mouth and viciously bit Lin Shengyun’s hand. Her parents quickly restrained her, while Fang Huai De slapped his thigh in frustration, "She’s having an episode again, another episode!"

Fang Xiaoxue struggled violently, her actions during Lin Shengyun’s bustling half a day had filled her with hostility towards everyone present.

"What should we do?! What should we do?!" Fang Huai De fretted and paced around frantically. Seeing Lin Shengyun helpless and everyone else shrinking back, he had no choice but to turn to Wang Hao, "Little Haozi, what are you still sitting for? Hurry up and save my Xiaoxue! Oh my, just keep her from biting!"

"Be careful!" Seeing Wang Hao had to act, Bai Yaning, who was sitting beside him, quickly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Don’t let her bite you."

"Don’t worry," Wang Hao patted Bai Yaning’s hand with a smile, then stood up and looked at Lin Shengyun, "Master Lin, it seems you weren’t able to help after all. Since that’s the case, shouldn’t you step back?"

Lin Shengyun had likely never been spoken to like that since he became famous, but there was nothing he could do, as his earlier efforts had clearly been ineffective. He could only retreat sullenly.

"Little sister Xiaoxue," Wang Hao approached her with a friendly demeanor, "Don’t be agitated, your brother Wang Hao is here to save you."

"Hissss—!!!" At that moment, Fang Xiaoxue’s eyes were bloodshot, and she looked hostile toward everyone. Seeing Wang Hao approach, she bared her teeth and lunged to bite him, but just then, Wang Hao harshly slapped her on the forehead. Immediately, everyone felt a chill through their bodies, and then they saw two streams of black qi suddenly emerge from Fang Xiaoxue, growing stronger.

"Black qi! That’s black qi!"

"Heavens, is that really demon qi?! Is Master Wang performing an exorcism and subduing demons?!"

"It was terrifying, no wonder Fang Xiaoxue’s illness was so severe; it was dark energy! I truly had my eyes opened today!"

"This..." Fang Huai De stared dumbfoundedly as Wang Hao absorbed the dark energy from Fang Xiaoxue’s body.

The dark energy grew more intense, what started as a wisp of blue smoke quickly transformed into rolling thick smoke—it was utterly terrifying!

"Brother Hao is truly invincible!" Fang Wenbin had always known about Wang Hao’s miraculous abilities, but seeing him draw the dark energy out of Fang Xiaoxue’s body with his own eyes still scared him, "Does this mean there really are spirits and gods in this world?!"

"Watch closely and keep quiet!" At this moment, Wang Hao was at a critical juncture in absorbing the energy. The dark smoke kept burrowing into his hand, and after nearly ten minutes, the blackness was finally completely drawn out, leaving Wang Hao’s entire right hand pitch-black as ink.

"Be gone!" Wang Hao slowly raised his right hand, then suddenly slapped Fang Xiaoxue on her forehead—she instantly rolled her eyes and fainted.

But at this moment, Fang Xiaoxue had clearly changed.

There was color on her face, and her breathing had stabilized. Wang Hao let out a breath and said, "All is well now. Once she wakes up, she’ll be like anyone else and won’t fall sick again."

"Is... is she really okay?" Fang Huai De looked at Fang Xiaoxue and then at Wang Hao, hesitantly asking, "Little Haozi, are you certain?"

"Great-grandfather, please rest assured, this time she is truly fine," Wang Hao nodded smilingly, then added, "However, the situation was a bit unexpected for me, the dark energy had contaminated her a lot."

Wang Hao said this while looking at his hand, which had turned pitch-black as if coated with a layer of ink, gleaming darkly.

"Wang Hao, your hand..." Bai Yaning asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

"No big deal. Actually, this turns out to be a blessing in disguise," Wang Hao said cheerily, moving his right hand before suddenly clenching it into a fist and smashing it onto the ground!

"Boom!" A dull sound echoed, and Wang Hao’s fist sank about half a foot deep into the ground, leaving a bowl-sized crater!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Holy shit, what’s going on?! What kind of fist does this kid have to punch a big hole in the ground?!

"It seems I’ve gained quite a bit," Wang Hao withdrew his fist, and then the dark energy quickly receded, returning his right hand to its normal color.

Everyone was utterly confused!

Wang Hao had just absorbed all that dark energy—normally one would be dead or crippled, but instead, his punch could make a huge hole in the ground?!

"Little Haozi, what’s going on..." At this point, Fang Xiaoxue was alright and seemed to be sleeping soundly, which put Fang Huai De at ease, but his curiosity was now piqued, "What exactly happened?"

Seeing everyone staring at him, Wang Hao took a deep breath and said, "Great-grandfather, at first, I thought Sister Xiaoxue had merely absorbed some evil qi by accident, but now it seems that’s not the whole story..."

Not the whole story?

Everyone glanced at each other, wondering if there was more to this situation.

"Little Haozi, are you saying..." Fang Huai De, as the Great Elder of the Fang family, quickly caught on, asking, "There’s something fishy about Xiaoxue’s illness?"

"Yes," Wang Hao nodded and explained, "Normally, there are always some special objects in the world carrying various kinds of energies. For example, we often say jade has a noble qi, and many people like to wear jade Guanyin or Pixiu for good luck. That’s pretty common, but the qi from the objects we commonly see isn’t that strong. However, some uncommon items carry much stronger qi, like certain artifacts passed down from ancient times, often imbued with murderous energies."

Murderous energies!

At the mention of this, everyone shivered and looked at Wang Hao differently.

"Normally, it’s no big issue if objects have a bit of murderous energy," continued Wang Hao, "but then they definitely shouldn’t be kept at home as decorations. Clearly, although Sister Xiaoxue has a Pure Yin Physique, which attracts this murderous energy, ordinary objects shouldn’t have had such a significant effect on her. So, I can now assert that there’s definitely something extremely sinister in these mountains, and Sister Xiaoxue encountered it as soon as she entered, which is why it had such a big impact!"
