An Uninvited Guest and a Rejected Trade Request

Hu Jiu drove the Ghost Vehicle recklessly into the Chu Family's territory.

Although the Frozen-to-Death Ghosts have been contained, the damage they caused will not disappear anytime soon.

The code name "[Frozen-to-Death Ghost]" is not very accurate. It refers to a vengeful Fierce Ghost that causes Frost, and is more of a personification of the concept of "cold".

Hu Jiu rummaged through his meager physics knowledge, wondering if this ghost could bring the temperature to absolute zero.

I wonder if absolute zero can interfere with time.

While pondering his thoughts, he wandered around the Chu Family's territory.

He casually collected a few resurrected Fierce Ghost, which were the Chu Family who had been caught in the crossfire during his battle with Tianji.

Nothing else was found!

--In fact, the Chu Family owns quite a few valuable items, including gold, antiques, gemstones, and jade.

But these weren't what Hu Jiu wanted. After taking everything, he was more interested in finding the Chu Family's Supernatural treasure trove.

I searched several times, but still couldn't find anything.

Hu Jiu wasn't discouraged. He figured that if he put himself in their shoes, he would know that if he put his collection in a Supernatural constructed alternate dimension, the Chu Family might do the same.

After all, not everyone has the ability to use gold to build containment chambers or safe houses on a grand scale like Headquarters.

Having thought of a safe house, Hu Jiu began digging deep into the ground.

The Chu Family should also have a safe house, right?

Although other dimensions are more practical and cost-effective, gold serves as a last resort.

Even if the Golden House is empty, the Golden House itself has value, and Hu Jiu can take it away.

There seemed to be some kind of Supernatural shield around the Chu Family's golden house. Hu Jiu searched for a while, eventually turning over the entire ground, only to find a Golden Safe House after everything was destroyed.

This should have been good news.

But finding a stranger outside the golden house, eating and taking things, is hardly good news.

Hu Jiu's eyes narrowed. What was going on? Someone dared to steal his spoils?

The Chu Family's Golden Safe House is located underground.

When Hu Jiu violently flipped the ground, a strange man was standing in the underground corridor leading to the Golden House.

The man was thin and pale, with the most striking feature being his extremely dark circles under his eyes, giving the impression that he was about to die from overindulgence.

He remained calm upon seeing Hu Jiu, and was about to speak when Hu Jiu's fatal attack struck.

Whoever this person is, daring to appear in this place at this time, Hu Jiu has no need to be polite to him; just kill him!

Click--

A freezing sound was heard.

The stranger dodged Hu Jiu's first attack in an instant, and didn't forget to tease him, "Don't be so impulsive. You're shouting and killing the moment you meet. Aren't you afraid of running into someone you can't afford to offend and suffering the consequences later?"

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Hu Jiu asked.

The stranger smiled, but hadn't yet spoken.

A beam of purple light shone on him, followed by a series of death curses.

The stranger's expression immediately changed, but Hu Jiu wouldn't give him a chance to spout nonsense.

One combo and he's dead.

Only...

The stranger's body was reduced to dust under Hu Jiu's relentless bombardment; even the Eerie Flashlight couldn't be retained.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Han Yang, and I mean you no harm."

The sound echoed in the air, but no one was in sight.

"I never expected Tianji to die like this, especially at the hands of such a young man as you. Truly, one should not underestimate the heroes of the world."

"What exactly do you want? Just say it." Hu Jiu looked around but found nothing.

"Did you take away the ghost that Tianji was riding?" a strange voice asked.

Hu Jiu didn't answer, so he continued, "Could we exchange resources for that ghost with the ability to copy? I can offer two very powerful Supernatural Items."

Hu Jiu raised an eyebrow. "Do you think I'd lack Supernatural Items?"

The unfamiliar voice paused for a moment, then said, "It's not a matter of scarcity, but rather that you can exchange unusable idle resources for usable resources."

"Hu Jiu, believe me, you can't handle that mirror. You should replace it."

"At least I'm willing to trade fairly with you, giving you two Supernatural Items. If it were anyone else, hehe, they'd probably just come up and snatch them away, and you wouldn't get anything then."

Hu Jiu gave a sarcastic "Oh," and said, "You mean you could have just robbed me, but you gave me two Supernatural Items in exchange, so you're fair and kind, right?"

The unfamiliar voice paused for two seconds. "That's the truth, and you have to accept it."

Hu Jiu sneered, "I don't think I've ever seen you before. How do you know my name?"

"Your reputation in the Supernatural community is quite high now. You made a name for yourself in the Yellow Sea not long ago, and just now you easily resolved a high-risk Supernatural incident. Don't you think you're being too low-key?" A stranger's voice casually teased.

"I used to be quite low-key," Hu Jiu said calmly.

Strictly speaking, Hu Jiu is a semi-newcomer in the Supernatural community; he has only been Ghost Tamer for less than half a year.

He truly came into the public eye last time in the Yellow Sea, where Fu Youhua's attitude towards him certainly attracted a lot of attention.

"Honestly, that mirror probably won't do you any good. Most people who try to control it will just die. You might as well trade with me, and I'll definitely give you two Supernatural Items that will satisfy you." The strange voice brought up the topic again.

"Sorry, I choose to refuse." Hu Jiu chuckled, the Magic Mirror already under his control.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange fluctuation occurred in the space.

"Ah--"

That being, whose voice was heard but whose person was never seen, let out a painful wail.

Then he disappeared.

At the same time, in some unknown distance, a gaunt, pale-faced man suddenly coughed up blood, a ruthless and sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

Hu Jiu carefully searched the vicinity for quite some time, confirming that the stranger named Han Yang was indeed gone.

Hu Jiu frowned slightly. The fact that Han Yang was able to survive his series of attacks and escape successfully showed that he was very strong.

That saying is true; we should never underestimate the heroes of the world.

One wrong move and the car could overturn.

I don't know who this Han Yang is, but judging from his tone, he seems to know Tianji.

Could he be someone from the same era as Tianji?

That's hard to say. Although Han Yang looks relatively young, in the case of Supernatural phenomena, appearance can no longer be used as a basis for judging age.

Hu Jiu memorized the name, and after looting all the spoils, he turned and left.
