Chapter 418: Chapter 418: The Extraordinary Nangong Wu_1

"Master, you really shouldn’t dismiss this lightly."

Zhang Xian looked at the old Taoist priest with a smile, and said, "If you do not enter this villa, that’s fine. But if you do, there will surely be a disastrous event."

The old Taoist’s face turned livid as he stared at Zhang Xian, angrily saying, "Kid, are you trying to steal my business? Do you want to keep me out of the villa and swindle these two young ladies out of their money?"

"How could I possibly?"

Zhang Xian replied, "We’re friends, I lend my help without any charge. I’m saying this for your own good!"

"Well..." The old Taoist hesitated a bit.

Not that he was immediately taken in by Zhang Xian’s words. As someone who engaged in swindling, he didn’t claim to be a real master, but he certainly knew some tricks of the trade. He had also noticed something unusual about this villa.

"Hey! What the hell are you doing, Zhang Xian?"

Li Peichi noticed Zhang Xian had managed to scare the old Taoist away from daring to step inside the villa within a few sentences. She was infuriated! She had seemingly called Zhang Xian to lend a hand, not wreak havoc.

Nangong Wu was also a bit annoyed with Zhang Xian. He was overdoing it.

However, looking at the master’s hesitating disposition, she lost faith in him all of a sudden. So, he dared to call himself a master? Did he dare to call himself Ghost Nightmare anymore? It’s not appropriate to fool people like this!

"Hmph..."

Seeing the two beauties looking at him with suspicion, the old Taoist priest stood up straight immediately, "So, kid, quit your nonsense here."

"Alright! I am just talking nonsense."

Zhang Xian laughed, made a gesture of invitation, and said, "Please. I’m curious to see how you’re going to subdue the ghosts inside. As you said, life is precious, don’t take it lightly."

"Damn it..."

Swallowing hard, the old Taoist braced himself and marched into the villa.

The young man was a bit scared. He also felt a sinister atmosphere around this villa, which was clearly abnormal. Shouldn’t a place in broad daylight, located in the busy town, be anything but creepy?

Something abnormal will always be strange - this villa was certainly haunted.

"I’ll unlock the door."

Nangong Wu stepped up to the front door, took out the key and unlocked the door promptly, but she dared not to walk inside.

Originally, she was living alone here. She suddenly started noticing odd sounds and hallucinations in her room, and the next day, she felt lifeless and knew something was wrong.

After discovering what was happening, she sought help from many people, but no one could tell what was wrong and just felt the villa was creepy.

Then, she dared not live here anymore and moved to Li Peichi’s place.

"Click..."

The anti-theft door was pushed open, and a wave of cold air suddenly rushed at them, making one shivering as if being caught in a cold wind.

"This villa is indeed eerie."

The old Taoist frowned and said, "I’ll change into another set of clothes first."

Hearing his words, the young man quickly opened his bag, took out a set of Taoist robes, and hurriedly helped the old man into them. Then, he took out a peach wood sword, a bundle of paper talismans, and the Eight Trigram Mirror.

The old Taoist received the peach wood sword and the Eight Trigram Mirror. After scanning the inside of the villa, he slowly walked in.

Damn it, this time he seemed to have bitten off more than he could chew. The heavy Yin atmosphere confirmed the existence of unclean things in the villa. Moreover, judging from the thickness of the Yin Qi, this thing was not trivial.

"Should we... should we go in?"

Standing at the doorstep, Li Peichi caught hold of Zhang Xian’s arm after looking inside, saying, "You... didn’t you say you were pretty good? Why don’t you give it a go?"

Nangong Wu was also gazing at Zhang Xian with the same implication. You think you’re so cool? Why don’t you go inside then!

"Well..."

Zhang Xian said, "The master has already gone in, hasn’t he? Let him try first."

"I’m disgusted with you."

Li Peichi pinched Zhang Xian’s waist.

Nangong Wu also scorned him. This guy almost surpassed himself in bragging before, behaving like he was really great. But when the trouble came, he was standing at the back. He was shameless!

...

In Beijing, inside an unremarkable small building, a young man was sitting in meditation on the bed, with Yin energy hovering around his body.

At some point, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, a trace of coldness flashing in them.

After hesitating for about two seconds, he suddenly sprang from the bed, grabbing his coat and putting it on. He rushed out of the room at lightning speed, rushing in a certain direction.

...

In a certain district of Beijing, inside a villa.

The old Taoist, with a peach wood sword in one hand and the Eight Trigram Mirror in the other, was slowly wandering around the villa.

The young man followed him, constantly swallowing and sweat soaking the hand holding his bag, showing just how nervous he was. He looked like he could collapse anytime.

Above the heads of the old Taoist and the young man, a cold and eerie spirit floated around, continuously shifting its shape as if it was looking for an opportunity to strike.

"This thing seems to be powerful."

Zhang Xian looked at the ceiling, his sword-like brows tightly knitted.

The cold, ghostly presence floating beneath the ceiling was originally upstairs, but swift as lightening, it floated down upon sensing living people approach the villa, silently observing.

Generally, ghosts tend to be very aggressive. Although they retain a sliver of intellect, their desire to attack is dominant. They simply can’t help it, most are filled with resentment.

The ghost they encountered in Dong Qian’s house was just like this, it attacked the Taoist as soon as he got near.

This one was different, it didn’t attack.

From this, it wasn’t hard to tell that it was a high-level ghost which had gradually learned to control its instinct to attack, patiently observing its enemies and waiting for an opportune moment to strike.

"Something’s wrong..." Zhang Xian sensed something amiss and his eyebrows furrowed deeper.

He had sensed a feeling of joy and anticipation from the ghost. In other words, the ghost was thrilled to find intruders, but it was waiting for something.

It was natural for ghosts to be pleased when they encounter their prey, but their anticipation was clearly abnormal. This ghost was being controlled. It was awaiting its master.

"Damn, another troublesome matter!" Zhang Xian sighed inwardly.

Those who command ghosts are considered evil cultivators and are generally despised by the righteous. It’s not that the righteous are always good, but the methods used to control ghosts are often excessively cruel.

Leaving all other means aside, at the very least, when a ghost is captured, its memories are forcibly erased and it’s turned into a slave.

Some evil cultivators would even conjure the dead, creating so-called zombies, which were even more terrifying than ghosts.

Evil cultivators, as the targets of righteous martial artists, would not dare to casually let their ghosts roam free. They would secretly control them. Their ghosts couldn’t escape the detection of martial artists.

Bearing this in mind, why would a ghost appear here?

Did this imply that Nangong Wu had been targeted by an evil cultivator to be the next object of sacrifice?

"Oh, what a strange occurrence..."

Zhang Xian was somewhat curious about the presence of the ghost, and so he scanned Nangong Wu with his spiritual sense to see if the problem lay with her.

Turned out, Nangong Wu actually possessed a pure Yin physique without any flaws. This was truly shocking.

The Pure Yin Body had an enormous allure to evil cultivators. Besides being the best source of nourishment, if an evil cultivator could manage to directly refine a Pure Yin Body, their power would skyrocket in the future.

With such a tantalizing existence, it was hard to avoid attracting unwanted attention!

"Damn..."

Zhang Xian was indeed frustrated when he discovered this.

They say all troubles stem from beauty, but if that beauty possesses the Pure Yin Body, then she would be trouble amongst troubles.

"What... what are you staring at me for?" Nangong Wu frowned at Zhang Xian’s constant gaze, his facial expressions constantly changing.

Perhaps it was because of Mo Shaoyun, Nangong Wu didn’t have a high opinion of Zhang Xian. She always felt like he was unworthy of Mo Shaoyun and there was always a vast difference between them.

Li Peichi pinched Zhang Xian and said angrily: "Zhang Xian, what are you thinking about again?"

"No..."

With a smile, Zhang Xian told Nangong Wu, "Sister, your body is somewhat special. Be careful from now on. This incident is just the beginning."

Nangong Wu asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"I mean what I said. There are some things I can’t explain to you," Zhang Xian didn’t say much.

Nangong Wu looked at Zhang Xian’s smug expression and couldn’t help feeling disgusted. In her opinion, Zhang Xian seemed dishonest and was probably planning something.

"You..."

Li Peichi pretty much had the same thoughts as Nangong Wu, she also thought Zhang Xian was up to no good.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Zhang Xian rubbed his nose and said, "I’m just giving a friendly reminder, can you guys please not misunderstand? This is no ordinary haunting, you’ll understand soon."

Says the man who’s all talk but no action, why not go and solve the problem?"

Li Peichi said, "I think that so-called master is unreliable. He’s been shivering since he went in, he’s even more scared than us."

"I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s more scared than you guys, but after all he is a professional, he does know the ins and outs of this sort of thing."

Zhang Xian laughed, "You guys are standing outside in the sun right now and can’t feel the chill. If you were to go in, you’d be shivering worse than him. If you don’t believe me, you can go in and try."

"Hey! Zhang Xian, can you stop changing the subject?"

Li Peichi glared at Zhang Xian, "You said you could solve it, was that true? If the Taoist can’t handle it, you have to."

"What’s the rush?"

Zhang Xian didn’t intend to go in, "The little creature inside isn’t important, the real trouble is the big one behind the scenes."

"What little thing and big thing?" Li Peichi was confused.

Nangong Wu was also puzzled by Zhang Xian’s hints. It was just a haunted house, wasn’t it? What’s this about little things and big things?

"This isn’t just a regular haunting, it’s a deliberate act by someone who wants to harm Sister Wu."

Zhang Xian explained, "At the moment, I’m just waiting for the perpetrator to show up. Capturing the ghost but letting the person behind it slip away is just treating the symptoms but not the disease. The problem will only be truly solved once we bring the culprit to light."

"Ah..."

Li Peichi exclaimed in surprise, "Someone is trying to harm Sister Wu? Don’t scare us with such words."

Nangong Wu was also startled by Zhang Xian’s words. She was just an ordinary person, she couldn’t handle someone who could manipulate ghosts. But, could this man’s words be trusted?
