Ghost Baby

Boom!

The mountainside on one side of the Mass Grave Mound collapsed with a deafening roar, and the warm winter sun instantly shone into this gloomy place!

The turbid yin energy gradually dissipates under the sunlight since ancient times.

"May the Heavenly Venerable grant boundless blessings! This situation is resolved! There are no more worries!"

The Long-Brow Daoist bowed and said!

"Amitabha! Next, we only need to deal with the three Evil Corpses before we can proceed with the sealing!"

Master Wuci chanted a Buddhist prayer, a trace of sorrow on his face.

Those three Evil Corpses weren't particularly strong to them.

Instead, it has already developed intelligence, is cunning by nature, and never shows itself.

Their presence, hidden on either side of the deep pool, deterred them from making a move.

If the one at the bottom of the pool is disturbed, a great battle will be inevitable.

[Qin Yan]

[Talent: Infinite Physique]

Strength: 56.9

Speed: 39.1

Mental state: 41.4

Qin Yan exuded an extremely vigorous crimson aura, and the snow around him melted away.

[Indestructible Diamond Proficiency Increased by 5%]

[Heart Burst Proficiency Increased by 2%]

[Heart Burst skill upgraded to Proficient Level]

[Heart Burst (Proficient Level)]

Effect: Breaks physical limitations, increasing strength and speed by 200% for 15 minutes.

"Both the Indestructible Diamond and Heart Burst skills have reached the Proficient Level!"

Qin Yan's body radiated intense heat, and his internal energy was boiling to its limit.

"Such powerful energy! The combined force of the two can unleash at least nine times the power."

As this sense of power receded like the tide.

Qin Yan visibly showed signs of fatigue, but then excitement flashed in his eyes.

With his current normal strength, he is probably in no way inferior to a powerhouse in the First Realm.

Unleash all your trump cards, and you'll be invincible among those of the same level.

Those at a higher level might not be able to do anything to him.

It is now mid-December.

The Demon-Suppressing Bureau has likely already disrupted the terrain of the Mass Grave Mound; the next step, the sealing, is of utmost importance.

The cultivation has ended.

Qin Xiaoyi quickly brought the clothes up.

"We've made some progress in investigating Liao Qian's case."

Oh! Tell me about it.

According to a child who saw Liao Qian visit the White Estate in town, Bai Yunzeng of the White Family Bai Yunzeng passionate collector of antiques, and some of his items are of dubious origin.

It's very likely that it was acquired from those tomb raiders!

Qin Yan nodded slightly. "Is the information reliable?"

"It's pretty much a done deal. That child is extremely intelligent, with a photographic memory; he's a child prodigy in our town."

Furthermore, according to some underworld sources, Bai Yunzeng did indeed have dealings with some tomb raiders.

Qin Xiaoyi truthfully said, "This old guy is usually very low-key, and we've been keeping an eye on him."

He only goes out once every few days, and his son, Bai Xianyun, is in charge of the family's antique shop!

Should we notify Lord Jiang?

"Don't alert them yet! I'll go check!"

Qin Yan dressed and left the courtyard directly.

Three days ago, Xu Ziheng and his two companions received a letter from the Dingnan Marquis Estate's residence informing them that they had already left Qinghe Town.

Now that Qinghe Town has regained its former vitality, it appears bustling and vibrant on the surface.

Only those truly harmed by the disaster are licking their wounds in the shadows.

The White Family were well-known wealthy merchants in the town!

Qin Yan first went to the antique shop owned by the White Family, located on the most bustling street, the entire shop was simple and elegant.

"Qi-Reading Technique!"

The colors shifted in Qin Yan's eyes; the antiques that came into view all carried the aura of time and had a hazy luster.

However, some of the vessels also carried a wisp of earth-generated turbid air.

This unique, foul odor is often found only in items buried with the deceased.

Qin Yan was then certain that the White Family did indeed have business dealings with those tomb raiders.

"Master Qin, it's an honor to have you here. Do you have any antiques that catch your eye?"

As the young master of this place, Bai Xianyun naturally recognized Qin Yan was currently enjoying great influence in Qinghe Town!

A fawning expression appeared on his face.

Compared to someone like Qin Yan with connections in the martial arts world, the White Family simply wouldn't dare offend him.

"It's nothing, just browsing."

Qin Yan smiled and then walked outside.

Bai Xianyun had no suspicions, and since there was no conflict between them, he didn't think much of it.

White Estate!

As Qin Yan looked at the mansion before him, a playful expression gradually appeared on his face.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary mansion.

But once you get over the wall!

It is immediately apparent that this place was arranged by a Feng Shui master, with its inner essence concealed, possessing the effect of attracting good fortune and warding off evil.

This layout prevents others from spying on us!

Generally speaking, feng shui arrangements are meant to bring good fortune and wealth, or to ensure peace and tranquility in the home!

However, the White Family's scheme was detrimental to themselves and others.

He's ruthlessly exploiting the fortunes of both sides!

Qin Yan took out his dagger. "Keep a close watch on this place. Every move you make must be carefully observed."

The dagger trembled slightly, then instantly flew into the White Estate!

Night falls!

The Zheshen Ghost flew back.

"Master, there's something wrong with the White Family!"

Tell me about it.

A sinister smile appeared on Zheshen Ghost's childlike face, "The room of Bai Yunzeng is filled with yin energy. If I'm not mistaken, there's a little ghost living inside."

However, someone used methods to conceal its aura, and there's a deathly aura beneath the White Estate —a smell I'm very familiar with.

The most recent ones are in the last few months.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

Qin Yan nodded in satisfaction, a milky white aura emanating from his palm.

The Zheshen Ghost sensed the blood energy, its eyes filled with greed, and swallowed the mass of blood energy into its belly.

"Thank you, Master!"

As he spoke, he withdrew the dagger, which fell into Qin Yan's hand.

Qin Yan dressed in night clothes and quietly sneaked into the White Estate.

As soon as he stepped into this place, he sensed an eerie atmosphere, and his eyes flashed with bloodlust.

A chilling aura of death emanated from beneath the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, where at least five or six people were present.

His sharp gaze swept across the room and quickly locked onto Bai Yunzeng's room.

As soon as I got closer, I saw the Bagua (Eight Trigrams) on the eaves and countless talismans for warding off evil spirits.

The spirit sensed that a middle-aged man with a large belly was meditating in the room.

There was an incense table in front of him!

The statue enshrined there is not a god or Buddha, but a clay figure in the shape of a child!

All I could hear was him muttering to himself.

"Son, bless your father's business to prosper and your wealth to flow in! Your father will prepare a live offering for you in a few days."

Qin Yan used his Qi-Reading Technique to look at the clay statue that was radiating an evil light.

You can vaguely see a baby, a few months old, making joyful noises as it rushes into the middle-aged man's arms.

"Don't worry, son. You've helped your father this time, so I'll make sure you eat your fill."

Bai Yunzeng touched his Ghost Baby, a look of loving kindness on his face.

And at that time...

A streak of light shot out from the window, striking the Ghost Baby with unerring accuracy.

The speed was so fast that neither the human nor the ghost had time to react.

The lingering light pierced through the Ghost Baby without any surprise, instantly creating a hole in its body, and its soul was disappearing at a visible speed.

"Son...!"

Bai Yunzeng stared blankly as the Ghost Baby vanished completely before his eyes.

Beside it was a vajra (a type of pestle Demon-Subduing Pestle to the ground.

"Who...!"

Bai Yunzeng's face instantly turned ferocious.

Whoosh! Boom!

A tall figure smashed through the wooden door in an instant and appeared in front of him with incredible speed.

Click! Click!

Qin Yan moved with lightning speed, first crushing the opponent's thigh with one foot, then twisting the opponent's arm into a pretzel with a backhand grab.

"Bai Yunzeng, you've been caught raising ghosts and killing people!"
