Chapter 736: 736 Breaking news! Young Master Yan takes action [2nd update]

This place is teeming with countless ghosts, having lingered for hundreds of years, it’s long been a cursed land.

Even with Empress Valenkina guarding it after her death, it’s merely ensured that these ghosts won’t leave or harm any of the Northern Land people.

But Rong Si is from Shenzhou, not a Northern Lands resident, Empress Valenkina likely won’t protect her.

Before coming to the Northern Lands, Si Minghe had already known about this place, deliberately urging the production team to set the outside game’s first competition here. Unexpectedly, it succeeded.

Others didn’t know, but she knew very well that this place was listed as an S-Class Forbidden Land by the Supernatural Affairs Office.

If a non-Northern Lands resident steps inside, they’ll become food for these spirits if they can’t leave before nightfall.

[They’ve gone in, they’ve gone in! I feel scared just in front of the screen, no wonder I can’t communicate with spirits.]

[Even psychics are scared of this place, yet Rong Si really seems unfazed, she’s got quite the courage.]

[Is she really not afraid of ghosts?]

Ye Wanlan indeed wasn’t afraid.

Coming to the Northern Lands this time, although she hadn’t brought the Shadow Trailing Sword and Primordial Lost Sound Zither, ever since acquiring the Shadow Trailing Sword, the surge of inner strength had pushed her cultivation to a new level.

When a martial artist reaches this level, their inner strength naturally forms a protective cover, rendering spiritual bodies unable to approach.

"Next, each contestant needs to act individually," the host’s voice came through the earpiece, "You need to find enough map fragments, there are seven fragments in total, whoever finds the most wins, you can start now."

After all, this was a place of cold and gloom, so besides the contestants, there were no photographers or others following along. Instead, the contestants carried miniature live-streaming gear.

The large screen split into several live-stream areas, with cameras moving from each contestant’s perspective.

Unsurprisingly, Ye Wanlan’s area had the highest viewership.

[Rong Si is really bold! Wow, just now three bats suddenly charged, and she didn’t even blink.]

[It’s getting darker, there’s not even moonlight, I really can’t bear to watch anymore.]

Ye Wanlan continued forward, and meanwhile, her inner strength had enveloped the entire graveyard, knowing the whereabouts of all seven map fragments.

Yet she didn’t immediately seek them out, continuing inward instead.

[Further in, that’s Empress Valenkina’s tomb, right? No one dares to come pay respects at night.]

[Empress Valenkina was truly a remarkable person, her friendship with Princess Yongning is also something people yearn for.]

[Is Rong Si planning to pay her respects to Empress Valenkina, to seek protection?]

"Sizz—!"

Suddenly, a strong current buzzed loudly in everyone’s ears.

The next second the screen flickered, and the area for Ye Wanlan’s live stream went dark!

Signal lost!

No matter how the staff adjusted, they couldn’t contact Ye Wanlan.

It was as if some barrier had completely isolated Ye Wanlan from the outside world.

Many people panicked at this moment.

Only Si Minghe remained calm and composed, confident of victory.

Finally, it was the most exciting moment, it’s just a pity the spirits caused the signal to disappear, otherwise, she would have made sure everyone saw Rong Si being devoured by spirits.

"Rong Si, you’re so calm, you wouldn’t be thinking you could also receive Empress Valenkina’s protection like other Northern Land people, right?" Si Minghe let out a soft chuckle, "Stop dreaming, you — a person from Shenzhou — are the spirits’ favorite food, let’s see how you escape."

[Why did the live stream cut off?!]

[Could something really have happened, I thought this place was just an urban legend, fake.]

[It’s over, it’s over, even though I didn’t think Rong Si could take first place, but she’s indeed very strong at such a young age, possessing such spiritual power, she can’t just die like this.]

[Contestants in the Spirit Summoning Battle signed agreements before the contest started, if they die, they can’t blame anyone else, only their lack of skills and bad luck.]

[Dear me, is this a show accident? Isn’t the program pausing to check what’s going on?]

[Did any of you notice, right before the live cut off, there were many white shadows?]

Over at Rong Si’s live stream, its sudden cut shocked the host as well.

Because before choosing this spot as the outdoor venue, the production team specifically invited several psychics from the Romanov Family to temporarily establish a seal, ensuring no spirit disturbance within a few hours.

Otherwise, the production team would be guilty of malicious murder.

Although it wasn’t yet time for the seal to break, and others with less spiritual power than Rong Si weren’t encountering danger, why was it only Rong Si facing trouble?

Cold sweat broke out on the host’s forehead.

Rong Si was the highlight of this Spirit Summoning Battle, single-handedly multiplying the number of live viewers, if something happened now...

The host had to consult her superiors, and after hearing one sentence, looked very surprised: "You’re saying the show must go on? Then about Ms. Rong Si... Alright, understood."

The call ended, she felt a tad worried.

The management didn’t wish to suspend the show because during the time of losing contact with Rong Si, the live chat audience size increased again.

Hopefully, by the end of the show, Rong Si would still be alive.

In the seed contestant area, Xing Yue and Rong Qi’s gazes both fell on Si Minghe.

Si Minghe surely noticed, but she displayed a nonchalant attitude: "Why are you two looking at me like that?"

Xing Yue’s eyes were cold: "What did you do to Ah... Rong Si? Why did the spirits suddenly act up?"

"Me?" Si Minghe sneered coldly, "I don’t even know her, I have no idea what you’re asking."

Rong Qi’s voice was cold as well: "In that case, do you dare to question your conscience?"

"Ridiculous, even if you, the young family head of the Rong Family, I wouldn’t take you seriously." Si Minghe seemed amused, "A mere branch family member isn’t in my consideration at all, you—"

"So noisy!" Mei En suddenly spoke up, "Can you keep quiet and watch the live stream properly?"

When Mei En spoke, Si Minghe really quieted down.

She somewhat provocatively raised an eyebrow at Rong Qi and Xing Yue, and then gestured at her neck.

Either way, Rong Si was doomed!

By the time a show finished and rescue arrived, Rong Si would surely become food for the spirits!

"This Si Minghe!" Xing Yue was furious, "Still pretending, it was clearly her tricks!"

"With Miss Ye’s abilities, she’ll be fine." Rong Qi’s expression was icy, "But this grievance cannot go unchecked."

"Indeed." Xing Yue spoke coldly, "What do you plan? If Ah Lan gets even a single scratch, I won’t let Si Minghe get away with it."

"We’re still filming the show, in this period we can’t act freely." Rong Qi said, "But I’ll inform Brother Yan, he will have ways."

After speaking, he took out his phone, relaying Si Minghe’s plan to harm Ye Wanlan entirely to Yan Tingfeng, exaggerating the matter.

[Yan Tingfeng]: Got it.

Four plain words, yet Rong Qi sensed the murder intent beneath the calm.

His heart shivered, and after a long exhale, he finally put down his phone.

Meanwhile, at the Global Center, Extreme Path Headquarters.

"Boss?" Right Protector, seeing Yan Tingfeng’s inexplicable expression, cautiously asked, "Did Miss Ye message you?"

"No." Yan Tingfeng said blandly, "But it’s related to Xiao Wan."

"Boss looks so unsightly, could it be someone bullied Miss Ye?" Left Protector, skilled at reading faces, surmised, "Who is it? With your word, Boss, we’ll go out and slaughter them to avenge Miss Ye!"

"Hmm." Yan Tingfeng stood up, slowly brushed away the folds in his sleeve, then unexpectedly raised an eyebrow, smiling slightly, "The Si Family, go."

The Si Family had been at peace for too long, so they should bid farewell to that peace!
