into his house, I felt extremely uncomfortable. It's a feeling that's hard to describe. Despite being a brand new custom-built home, it felt stuffy and oppressive, making even breathing difficult."Xi...My older brother was not polite to the skinny Taoist priest at all. He directly dragged him and kicked him in the back.

Just now, that skinny Daoist was making a fuss here, and my brother heard it all downstairs. Now he's more at ease with me, so he didn't bother climbing up. He went down to check the situation first.

The half-bodied female ghost had vanished, I don't know where she hid. I could only pinch a formula and wait for her to appear again.

The skinny Taoist rolled down that big pit and was so angry he wanted to curse, but he was especially afraid of my brother.

This year, it seems like everyone in the circle has a feeling — Young Master Mu is a tough nut to crack. He's unyielding, thick-skinned and ruthless. You can't argue with him, you can't fight him, and if you really want to go head-to-head, he seems a little hesitant. Besides, there's my grandfather, the low-key hidden boss, lurking behind him.

Some people who didn't like our family used to call Grandpa an old monster behind his back. They wouldn't dare say it to his face, especially now that the Shen Family is in my hands. Both families are surnamed Mu, so even if they disliked each other, they wouldn't dare tear each other apart publicly.

When one's skill reaches a certain height, the other's will rise to meet it. No one knows when they might need help from others, so maintaining good relationships with influential families within the circle is common sense.

But… it seems like a lot of people think I'm a pushover.

I looked down into the blackness, shining my flashlight. Jiang Qiyun squatted beside me and asked, "Want to go take a look"

My brother immediately exclaimed, “Don’t let Xiao Qiao go in there. There’s a small room inside that stinks to high heaven. There’s a large vat in there, and you have to take that thing out and get rid of it to dispel the evil spirits. Otherwise, we’ll attract something…”

That thin Taoist priest held his breath and went in. After a while, he dragged a dark object to the mouth of the cave.

"Master Mu, I've brought it here. Pull me up, please" He said with a mouthful of resentment, trying to be flattering.

Jiang Qiyun's hand made a gesture in his sleeve, summoning the ghost messenger Yinli to bring that earthenware jar up.

Then the thin Taoist felt a chill in the air, and then he saw the large jar beside him rise from the ground. He was so frightened that he stood there dumbfounded for a moment before collapsing to his knees with a thud.

"Who is the immortal casting a spell I have been…insulted…insulted…”

My brother winked at him and said, “Come on up, young master. I'll pull you… You know what it means to be disrespectful. People in this circle who are even a little bit capable all know who my little Qiao is. Do you dare yell at her Are you looking for death”

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! We agreed to never offend Miss Mu in private, but I've never met Miss Mu before. My apologies, my apologies..." The skinny Taoist immediately bowed his head towards me as soon as he arrived.

I dodged behind Jiang Qiyun, causing him to kneel.

Anyway, worshipping deities is the duty of cultivators. I don't want to receive worship for nothing.

Jiang Qiyun asked a little displeased: "What are you hiding"

"I'm not used to being knelt on, I'm not an old man." I scoffed, changing the subject and asking, "What is this It's got a lot of resentment."

The little demon replied, "It's a torture device, isn't it I've seen something like that in the Twenty-Four Hell."

"Have you ever been to the twenty-four hells" I asked curiously.

"Well, when you're new on the job, you have to follow your superiors everywhere and take a look around. It's a reminder to be vigilant. Even ghost messengers and underworld officials who embezzle public funds, pervert the law, or tamper with yin-yang records will end up in prison. It's a warning." The junior ghost messenger said.

Even the underworld has ethics education, I wonder if some officials have inflated their egos too much. For example, that old Wang Ye, even though Jiang Qiyun appeared here, he didn't seem to react at all, as if he didn't take the underworld seriously.

Jiang Qiyun once said that the power of faith can often transcend boundaries. This old king has enjoyed incense and titles from aristocratic families for hundreds of years, certainly a powerful local figure who rules with an iron fist.

“What is this thick stuff” My brother touched it with his gloved hand, and some dark fragments came off on the glove.

"It's burnt flesh." Jiang Qiyun said coldly.

My brother immediately threw down his gloves: "What the hell, this is disgusting! They just threw in all the scraps of flesh from those bodies And they roasted them until they were oily and dripping"

"About the same, you'd have to ask the one who cast the spell... Have any of you seen that old Taoist priest who wore human skin before" Jiang Qiyun asked.

I shook my head. “There are two old men around Qi Kexin, one of them should be the Taoist priest. Da Bao and Wu Jie have been keeping an eye on Qi Kexin, there haven't been any new suspicious figures around her for now.”

Jiang Qiyun faintly said, "…The time is not yet ripe."

Is the time not yet right

Was he trying to tell me not to worry

We're discussing how to handle this information about the remains below. After all, there are several bodies down there, and their families may be desperately searching the sea.

I stood at the edge of the big pit and suddenly smelled a few whiffs of something strange, like gasoline.

"Brother, it seems like something's wrong outside..." I had just finished speaking when the entrance of this mirror maze and haunted house suddenly burst into flames!

And the flames spread quickly across the ground!

"Damn! Who the hell set this fire!" my brother yelled in surprise.

All the "monsters" here are made of props, and there are also foam and rags on the walls. The flames burn very quickly.

My brother cursed and pulled out a wet wipe to hand me, covering my mouth and nose. Jiang Qiyun frowned and said, "I'll just take you away."

"What about my brother!" My first reaction was to shake my head.

I'm usually fine going first, but now if I go first what about my brother This fire at the door is so intense, someone definitely set it on purpose!

“It has to be that lame old man! He definitely knows something about this. If he really didn't want people to come in, why would there be a broken wall on the factory side that you could climb through! It's a ploy! He's deliberately driving people away, luring those who are looking for adventure to crawl through that gap—it's closest to the haunted house!”

My brother pushed me into Jiang Qiyun's arms while saying, "Quickly take Xiao Qiao away first!"

"What are you doing The doorway is blocked!" I quickly grabbed his hands, trying to stop him from rushing into the fire.

It took just a few minutes for the flames to spread. I retrieved the Ghost Gate and the Divine Tiger, and the little demon attendant also returned to its position.

Jiang Qiyun pulled me and said, "If you don't want to go, don't go. Just don't run around."

I saw him wave his sleeve, chanting incantations to summon those grey-clad soul devourers. These minor deities of the underworld were unafraid of water or fire; as they danced and whirled, raising gusts of yin wind, they pushed back the flames, creating a passage in their midst.

"Run!" My brother grabbed the skinny Taoist priest and kicked him out with one foot. The Taoist priest was quick to escape, scurrying away with his head down, not giving a single thought to anything else.

Jiang Qiyun pulled me through those flames that were ripped open - so hot! The temperature seared my skin, giving me a terrifying burning sensation.

As I was leaving the exit, that half-bodied female ghost suddenly grabbed my leg with all her might!

"...You must stay! The princess declared, 'Everyone else can be let go, but you must die!!'"

Jiang Qiyun's incantation speed was incredibly fast, the chains piercing through the young female ghost's heart. Just as this happened, that vicious-looking, one-legged old man outside suddenly appeared and splashed me with gasoline! soul-refining being was restrained by me as I dragged him out. He was then immobilized by the Ghost Shackling Curse.The surrounding ghostly soldiers swarmed forward, binding the Soul Refiner with mul...
