Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013: Encounter with Puppet Spirit in Qi Mountain Rift Valley, Third Master Calmly and Confidently Responds

Huo Yunjiao gazed downward, contemplating the Buddha beads encircling his wrist, a pensive expression on his face.

The companion Buddha beads had been with him for nearly thirty years, yet he had never known their name.

However, every time he faced danger, a powerful force within the beads protected him.

Over the years, he had developed a connection with the beads and knew that the day they were destroyed would be the day his life ended.

In Lan An Shu Country, they were known as the Kun Tian Netherworld Buddha Beads.

He had later researched and actually found some records and rumors about them.

It was rumored that the Kun Tian Netherworld Buddha Beads were the personal treasure of the Emperor of Fengdu, possessing the divine power of the Emperor of Hell from the Netherworld of Fengdu.

With slender, fair fingertips, he gently massaged the full beads, his brows slightly furrowed in thought.

If the beads he had worn for many years truly belonged to the Emperor of Fengdu, why had they been born with him?

Why did Lan An mention his identity repeatedly and adamantly claim that being with Ruanruan was a mistake and that their paths were destined for relentless conflict?

What was the chaotic situation caused many years ago, and the various mysteries left him clueless.

Huo Qiang walked in, his voice solemn, "Master, everyone has been gathered."

Huo Yunjiao pursed his lips, stopped speculating wildly, realizing that some things might only be clarified by finding Xia Yunchen, Lan An, and Changyuan.

"Let’s set out!"

He strode away, carrying an air of noble disdain.

Qi Mountain was vast, so vast that even with the guidance of the Huo Family’s hidden guards, they had not reached the rift valley by nightfall.

As night fell, a chilling aura permeated the woods, and dark spirits hidden in the shadows stirred restlessly.

They usually dwelled in the mountains and forests, not tasting flesh for a long time, and faced with so much food delivered to their doorstep, they drooled with anticipation.

But among these humans, there was one who radiated a golden light from within, making them hesitate and dare not act rashly.

...

Qin Ruan was unaware that the third master was still in the country.

That night, she was at home applying a face mask when someone knocked on her door from outside.

She tapped her cheek while sitting in front of the mirror and, without looking back, said, "Come in."

"Little sister-in-law—"

Josh pushed the door open, his voice preceding him.

Qin Ruan turned her head toward the door and saw Josh with his striking blonde hair.

She asked curiously, "What’s up so late?"

Josh walked in grinning and said without mincing words, "Tonight, the Fu Family threw a farewell party for a certain Yin, that youth who was saved by your cousin the other night.

After the feast, Fu Ziqiu and the Yin went to Yejue Club’s bar, and Qin Mei just called me, saying he’s going to teach them a good lesson, and I came to see if you were asleep."

Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow slightly, "And then?"

Josh rubbed his palms together, his handsome face taking on a sleazy expression.

He said, "Since you’re awake, why not join the fun? I heard other aristocratic youths will be there too."

Qin Ruan smiled, "It’s their gathering, why should you intrude?"

Josh’s face slightly changed, he said earnestly, "You can’t say that. A cousin and a cousin-in-law from the Fu family have taken an undue interest in someone they shouldn’t, they’ve caused trouble and want to just walk away scot-free. When does the world work like that?

By this time, Qin Mei should have already arrived with his people. He’s fuming knowing what those brothers did and is just waiting for today to deal with them, and if you were there, you might hold them back."

Qin Ruan frowned, "My second brother took people with him?"

Josh naturally replied, "Of course he took people; it’s only proper for such a confrontation."

Qin Ruan peeled off her face mask, her clever fox-like eyes narrowing as she asked, "Who told my brother?"

After asking, she got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"I didn’t say a word, he asked me on his own initiative."

Josh hurriedly disclaimed any involvement, unwittingly confessing.

Qin Ruan pushed open the bathroom door, turned back to glare at him, "Can’t you think of something else to do, always sharp when it comes to tripping others up!"

"Little sister-in-law, we also can’t swallow the insult, after they tried flirting with you."

Josh became increasingly vehement, his voice rising.

Qin Ruan challenged him, "Fu Ziqiu broke a leg, and Yin Tianlin almost lost his life, isn’t that enough?"

Josh shook his head, "It’s not the same, there’s a saying: give as good as you get. Since they’ve done it, they must face our response."

Unable to argue with him, Qin Ruan sighed lightly and entered the bathroom, closing the door behind her.

Outside the Imperial Court Hotel.

Qin Mei sat in the driver’s seat of the McLaren Speedtail, holding the restless Xueqiu in his arms.

Ever since they arrived, Xueqiu had been propping its front paws against the car window, its green eyes fixated intensely on a certain spot, not missing a beat.

If it had merely stared, that would have been the end of it, but its raised, umbrella-like tail hair bristled, and it emitted a low, menacing growl.

Leaning on the McLaren Speedtail, Lu Yichen, exuding a scholarly aura and a gentle temperament, eyed Xueqiu and teased, "Qin Mei, what’s with your cat? Always howling isn’t a solution, is it hungry? Give it some milk."

His eyes, twinkling with mockery, slowly moved downward, focusing on the trendy leather jacket Qin Mei wore, as if seeing through the clothes to what lay beneath.

Without looking up, Qin Mei snapped back, "Fuck off!"

He continuously stroked Xueqiu’s fur, hoping to calm it down.

Honestly, whenever Xueqiu fixed its gaze on one spot, he felt incredibly unsettled, and all sorts of bizarre, unscientific fantasies would emerge in his mind.

He always felt Xueqiu was seeing something filthy.

Once that thought entered his head, the imagined scene turned into a battlefield, and the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, until he felt utterly numb.

"Meowwww..." Xueqiu began to howl again.

Qin Mei’s lips pressed tightly together as he continued to soothe it.

He raised his hand to cover Xueqiu’s eyes and whispered into its ear in negotiation, "Little ancestor, can we not look anymore? I’m about to pee my pants here."

"Meow!!!"

Xueqiu let out a sharp, piercing cry, unhappy with its eyes being covered, and raised its paws to scratch at the hands of its shameless human.

Helpless, Qin Mei removed his hands from Xueqiu’s eyes and slumped into the seat with a desolate expression, "Ancestor, what exactly did you see?"

Lu Yichen, who was very close to the man and the cat, heard this and listened carefully.

Realizing something was amiss, his smile faded, "What happened?"

Qin Mei lifted his eyelids in resignation and said, "Xueqiu can see those things. Look at it, it seems like it’s communicating with that thing. I’m feeling all creepy now..."

Before he could finish, Lu Yichen had sprinted away.

Qin Mei paused mid-sentence, watching Lu Yichen flee to the car, completely dumbfounded.

Is that speed even humanly possible?

In just a few seconds, Lu Yichen had escaped from danger. Should he praise him for his quick escape, or curse him for not facing the danger together?

Sitting in the car, Lu Yichen, through the car window glass, gave Qin Mei the middle finger.

"Fuck! Lu Yichen, I will fucking kill you!" Qin Mei exploded, returning the gesture rudely as he cursed, "You son of a bitch, just wait, I’ll scare you to death next time!"

Seeing his furious expression, Lu Yichen rolled down the window and scoffed lightly, "Who in their right mind deals with those things? I want to live a few more years.

You too, taking that cat that can see those things out, don’t we want to live a few more years? Even the junior girl said dealing with those things frequently affects your luck and life span. If you pull this stunt again, I’m not hanging out with you!"

Qin Mei rolled his eyes at him, holding Xueqiu tightly in his arms, not letting it look out the window again, and muttered softly, "You talk as if I’m not scared."

Sitting in another car, Rong Jing, hearing the two young masters arguing, quickly leaned out to mediate, "We’ve been waiting here for half an hour now, how much longer till Josh arrives?"

Qin Mei was curious too, his mood extremely irritable from Xueqiu’s howling.

After a few seconds of silence, he got out of the car with Xueqiu in his arms and said to the others, "Let’s not wait for him, let’s go in!"

He hadn’t known about the incident of Fu Ziqiu teasing Ruanruan in Sea City earlier.

That night, not knowing this, he treated Yin Tianlin, who had his sights set on his little sister, with undue kindness. Now, thinking about it, he felt like an idiot.

His sister had stirred up the Fu Family’s nest, and now everyone seemed to be eyeing her.

Seeing Qin Mei heading for Yejue Club, Lu Yichen and Rong Jing exchanged glances and got out of their cars to follow him.

Simultaneously, far away in Cloud City at Qi Mountain, Huo Yunjiao, leading the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards, faced a perilous situation.

After two hours, they had finally reached the entrance of Qi Mountain’s rift.

But there was a large group of varied puppets, their wide-open maws baring ferocious teeth, howling menacingly at Grandfather standing behind Huo Qiang and Huo Chuan.

The Huo Family’s Hidden Guards couldn’t see the existence of these puppets, but Huo Yunjiao saw them all too clearly.

As Huo Qiang and Huo Chuan and others prepared to advance, Huo Yunjiao shouted to hold everyone back, his voice sternly warning them that the danger here had reached Double S Level.

Hearing about such a high level of danger, the Huo Family’s Hidden Guards quickly arranged a defensive formation.

Another person who could see the sinister puppets was Lin Hao, who had come on a visit to Fuluo Country with Qin Ruan, as his Heavenly Eye would appear when the puppet energy was too dense.

Seeing the figures of the puppets, Lin Hao leaped into action.

His tall frame positioned itself in front of Huo Qiang and Huo Chuan, forming a barrier to protect Grandfather’s safety.

Lin Hao, with rough features and an aura of fierce Evil Qi, his face taut, stared down the hundreds of puppets opposite.

Making sure they wouldn’t swarm over, he spoke in a low voice to Huo Qiang and Huo Chuan, "There are many evil spirits here; escort Grandfather away."

Huo Yunjiao’s sharp gaze turned toward Lin Hao, his thin lips tight with displeasure, "No need, just stay here and don’t move."

He pushed Huo Qiang aside and walked forward with weary steps.

Huo Qiang called out in a hushed voice, "Master, it’s dangerous!"

Huo Yunjiao raised his hand, signaling him to be quiet, his dark eyes locked on the hundreds of puppets in the distance, ignoring the Black Evil Energy emanating from them, and walked towards them step by step.

Deep down, there was a strong feeling that these evil spirits couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
