I am but a minor Taoist with little Taoist practice, do not slander me here!”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Miss Nangong’s mind and spirit have been eroded due to the paper effigy in the ancestral hall, causing her mental state to deteriorate markedly, which made her defenses weak and easy to bewitch.”

“And you chose this moment to step forward, using a very far-fetched reason, trying to convince Miss Nangong that the presence in the ancestral hall is the Yin Soul of her grandfather, appearing due to unfulfilled desires.”

“Anyone with a bit of insight would realize that your basis for judging whether the entity in the hall was a Yin Soul was far too cursory, with absolutely no cause and effect relationship, yet Miss Nangong, in her compromised state of mind, really believed it.”

“How can I not suspect you?”

“Furthermore, if I am not mistaken, this paper effigy’s mentioned Formation is indeed real, and so is the elder with the two tufts of mustache.

He must be your accomplice, and your real goal is to convince Miss Nangong to willingly cooperate in the creation of this so-called Formation.”

“To go to such lengths for a Formation, if I am not wrong, it certainly isn’t a benevolent one, right?

In this Formation, I’m afraid Miss Nangong is not participating in the creation, but more likely being used as a sacrifice or as part of the Formation itself, aren’t she?”

The people standing behind the Taoist also sensed something amiss after hearing Lu Chuan’s words.

They were clearly here to drive out evil spirits and claim a reward, but somehow, they had all been led by the nose by this Taoist.

Sweat beaded on the Taoist’s forehead as he gritted his teeth and shouted, “Bullshit!

If I had such great abilities, would I need to be a lousy Taoist?

You’re just trying to defame me because you dislike me!”

Lu Chuan smiled again and said, “Of course, what I said before is speculative.

In fact, the real reason for my suspicion is this.”

After speaking, he pinched and formed a hand gesture, unleashing a force onto the Taoist.

The Taoist’s eyes turned black in an instant, with streaks of Yin energy emerging from them.

Everyone was shocked and swiftly backed away.

Nangong Duoduo also scoffed at the sight and dashed forward, “You really are up to no good!”

She grabbed the Taoist by the collar, her Inner Strength erupted, trying to subdue him to question his true identity.

It was then that the Taoist looked at Lu Chuan, eyes filled with resentment, and bellowed, “You won’t die a good death!”

Subsequently, his body began convulsing, and soon, there was no movement at all.

Nangong Duoduo frowned, turned her head to glance at Lu Chuan, and said, “He’s dead.”

Lu Chuan nodded and said, “This Taoist must have been controlled.

The real murderer is still lurking in the shadows, and they would not give you the opportunity to discover their identities now that they have been exposed.”

Nangong Duoduo threw the Taoist’s body on the ground, looking at Lu Chuan and asked, “With your abilities, is there no way to track the person behind the scenes?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “I admit I’m formidable as you say, but I’m not omnipotent.

If there were a way to track them down, I would’ve done it by now.”

Nangong Duoduo sighed and then looked at Lu Chuan with a peculiar expression, thinking to herself that this guy was rather self-absorbed.

At that moment, Han Qingci came over and said, “I know who’s behind this mischief!”

Lu Chuan and Nangong Duoduo quickly turned their attention to Han Qingci.

Nangong Duoduo asked, “Who is it?”

Han Qingci said, “Someone from the Yin Ghost Sect!”

Nangong Duoduo was startled upon hearing this and her brows knitted tightly, “It’s actually the Yin Ghost Sect, but indeed, only they could conjure up such sinister methods.”

Lu Chuan, however, looked at Han Qingci in confusion and asked, “How do you know?”

Han Qingci pointed to the ancestral tablets inside the hall and said, “Those old men told me.”

Lu Chuan turned his head to look inside the hall, didn’t see any old men, and suddenly felt a chill, asking, “Where are the old men, Qingci, could you have seen wrongly?”

Han Qingci explained, “No, no, those old men can only be seen by me, it’s normal that Brother Lu Chuan can’t see them.”

Lu Chuan furrowed his brow, but quickly, he thought of a possibility and asked, “Qingci, you told me before that ghosts run away when they see you, were you not joking?”

Han Qingci nodded, “No, ever since I can remember, I’ve been able to see lots of things others can’t, but they’re all very friendly towards me, they all listen to me very well, of course, there are some that get scared and run away when they see me.”

Lu Chuan’s face was full of surprise, but his suspicion was growing stronger.

It was very likely that Han Qingci had the rare innate spirit body found in the cultivation world!

This was a very special constitution that naturally had perception beyond ordinary people, able to sense the existence of ethereal spirits.

Spirit is something even more mysterious than ghosts; the spirits referred to in the saying that all things have spirits are these.

Everything that has ever existed in this world, be it people or objects, would manifest a corresponding spirit, but ordinary people cannot perceive them at all, and even for cultivators, without practicing specialized techniques, it would be impossible to sense the existence of spirits.

Those with an innate spirit body are born with the ability to perceive spirits and can even command them, order them around, and borrow their strength.

Ghosts, which are a lower level of existence compared to spirits, would feel as if they were seeing an angel when they lay eyes on the possessor of an innate spirit body, thus becoming utterly terrified; some weaker ghosts might even dissipate from merely gazing directly at the owner of an innate spirit body.

The old men Han Qingci mentioned inside the hall were probably the spirits of the Nangong family’s ancestors.

Lu Chuan had never imagined this girl had such a rare constitution.

No wonder she was in a relationship with Zhong Ling’er, who was fated by destiny – it was only natural that exceptionally unique beings would attract each other.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of something and asked Han Qingci, “So back then, was it you who scared away the little ghost raised by that tattooed woman, and you pretended to be shaking with fear in my arms just to take advantage of me deliberately?”

Han Qingci’s face immediately turned embarrassingly red, and she coquettishly shook Lu Chuan’s arm, saying, “Don’t be mad, Brother Lu Chuan, Qingci just wanted to feel the warmth of Brother Lu Chuan’s chest.”

Lu Chuan was speechless, thinking to himself that although this girl was pretty, she was surprisingly cunning!

Nangong Duoduo on the side was also looking at Han Qingci with astonishment; she initially thought this pretty girl was just tagging along with Lu Chuan for fun and had not expected her to be anything but ordinary.

She looked at Lu Chuan and Han Qingci and never imagined that the two people who seemed the least likely to exorcise evil were actually the most formidable; she began to feel ashamed of her earlier presumptuousness.

Then she turned to Han Qingci and asked, “Girl, can you see my grandfather since you can see things others cannot?”

Han Qingci asked, “There are too many old men here; which one is your grandfather?”

Nangong Duoduo hurriedly pulled out her phone and found a photo of Nangong Xun.

Han Qingci glanced at it and said, “This old man is here.”

Nangong Duoduo’s face flushed with excitement, and she quickly said, “Could you ask him if there’s anything he wants to say to me?”

Han Qingci nodded and mumbled a few sentences to the air.

Then her expression suddenly darkened and became extremely angry, she vehemently said, “You old scoundrel, get lost right now, I don’t want to see you!”
