Meanwhile, upon hearing of Xiao Zhan's whereabouts, Na Lan Yan Ran dared not delay for a moment. She quickly had the soldier point out the direction and then hurriedly returned to the Xiao Clan.

But when she turned her head, she bumped into someone, and a pungent stench hit her, making her vomit on the spot.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the same madman from yesterday who had dirtied her clothes.

This madman was disheveled, with long hair half-covering his face. He was holding a moldy steamed bun in one hand and stuffing it into his mouth. He was not only slovenly but also repulsive.

Na Lan Yan Ran's clothes were soiled again, but she didn't care because she needed to find Xiao Zhan quickly, so she jumped over the stinking madman.

"Where did this slovenly brat come from, daring to dirty Miss Yanran's clothes? I'll beat you to death!"

Na Lan Yan Ran didn't care about any of this, but the soldier behind her cared a lot. Their young lady Yanran was of very high status, and how could they let such a person get her clothes dirty?

After Na Lan Yan Ran left, the soldier kicked the madman to the ground, causing him to crawl around in pain, crying out for his mother.

The Xiao Clan cemetery is located in the southwest corner of the mountain behind the Xiao Clan. The cemetery is connected to a wide and flat stone road, which is called the Southwest Road. It also means that the souls of the dead are on the Southwest Road, and that the Southwest Road is a good road to travel.

Na Lan Yan Ran hurriedly arrived at the back mountain of the Xiao Clan and walked to the entrance of the Xiao Clan cemetery. Looking up, she saw that the surrounding area was surrounded by a four-meter-high brick and stone wall. There were two teams of the Xiao Clan guards at the entrance, one team responsible for guarding the gate and the other team responsible for patrolling. Each team had thirty people, and the highest cultivation level among them was actually Da Dou Shi.

"This is just like a prison!" Na Lan Yan Ran exclaimed, a suspicion forming in her mind: Could Xiao Zhan be under house arrest?

Whether or not they're under house arrest, we'll find out soon enough.

"Halt! This is the Xiao Clan cemetery. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted."

As soon as she reached the entrance, Xiao Clan guards stopped Na Lan Yan Ran from advancing.

"I was just curious and wanted to go in and take a look."

"No," the captain guarding the gate refused outright, saying, "Miss Yanran, Clan Leader Xiao Ning instructed us two years ago to strictly guard the Xiao Family Mausoleum. No one is allowed to enter without his permission. You should go back."

Seeing that these people were all burly and fierce-looking, Na Lan Yan Ran had no choice but to retreat in a huff.

"I wonder if I can still use my abilities." As she walked up the back mountain, Na Lan Yan Ran tried repeatedly to activate the power of her former Devil Fruit.

She sat on the hilltop for a full hour when suddenly a vortex of soul appeared in her palm. This was not caused by Emperor Realm Soul, but by the long-lost Soul-Soul Fruit ability.

However, this ability is still very weak and has not yet reached the level of control, but it is enough to deal with these people.

So she went to these people again.

"Please don't chase me away, I have something to say."

The guards exchanged bewildered glances, wondering what Na Lan Yan Ran was up to.

"Now that things have come to this, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table." Na Lan Yan Ran made a gun shape with her right hand and placed it on her chin, striking a cool and stylish pose, and tricked the guards, saying, "Actually... I'm an exorcist."

"An exorcist?"

The guards were bewildered; they had never heard of the profession of exorcist on the Dou Qi Continent before.

"Yes, it's alright if you haven't heard of it. It's your lack of education, I can forgive your ignorance," Na Lan Yan Ran said mysteriously, like a psychic witch, waving her hands wildly in front of the people, performing a shamanistic dance. Finally, while dancing, she threatened, "This is your Xiao Clan's cemetery. But after death, the soul remains. If these souls harbor resentment in life, they will transform into vengeful ghosts that harm humans. You've been on duty here for a long time, seemingly without any problems, but in reality, you've already been possessed by ghosts."

"Something evil, possessed by a ghost?" A group of guards gasped in shock, never expecting the situation to be so serious. No wonder they always felt exhausted after their shifts ended.

As some people listened, they inexplicably felt afraid. Suddenly... a gust of cold wind blew by, accompanied by Na Lan Yan Ran's loud scream, which startled many guards, causing them to tremble and take several steps back, dropping their weapons to the ground.

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense... nonsense!" The captain of the Xiao Clan family's guard team tried to remain calm. "What you're saying about ghosts is impossible. It's all just empty talk. If you're so capable, show us the ghosts!"

"Fine, I knew you ignorant people didn't believe in science. Today, I'll show you all the skills of the 489th generation exorcist."

Na Lan Yan Ran had someone bring over a triangular table, on which incense, candles, and precious candles were placed. On top of that, there was also a huge crystal tablet. She also brought over some yellow paper and a chicken. Then she killed the chicken, stained it with blood, and smeared it on the yellow paper, leaving everyone bewildered.

Just then, she suddenly blurted out, "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Prajna Buddhas, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Mama Hong, Manifesting the Dharma, Demons and Monsters, today I'll expose your true forms, Mama Hong, where do you think you're going?"

Everyone swallowed hard, watching Na Lan Yan Ran's serious, erratic performance in silence.

Time passed slowly, and about ten minutes had gone by, but the surroundings remained calm and still, with nothing strange or unusual happening.

Na Lan Yan Ran broke out in a cold sweat, feeling somewhat embarrassed. She had just been able to use the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, so why did she fail at the crucial moment?

"Miss Yanran, where is the vengeful ghost you mentioned?" The captain of the guard team was initially quite nervous, but after waiting for a long time without seeing anything, he instantly understood what she meant by ghosts and evil spirits. This young lady of the Nalan Family must be bored and playing a trick on them. "Miss Yanran, you should go back and rest. The Xiao Family Mausoleum is a sacred place; you can't be so reckless!"

The captain of the guards ordered them to remove Na Lan Yan Ran's spellcasting tools and to knock over the crystal tablet on the table.

Na Lan Yan Ran panicked immediately. She hurriedly explained, "Maybe the ghosts are on holiday today and haven't come to work. Please don't push my crystal, give me a chance!"

The guards of the Xiao Clan could no longer tolerate her nonsense. Without saying a word, they confiscated her tools for swindling. As for the chicken, they decided to keep it for them to use as a snack with their drinks when they got home that night.

However, just after they finished cleaning up the scene, Na Lan Yan Ran suddenly sensed the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit again. She immediately activated the power secretly and released it towards the guards.

"Ah!"

One of the guards was the first to be hit by Na Lan Yan Ran's underhanded trick. He was completely powerless and collapsed to the ground. In just a few seconds, he looked several years older.

The other guards weren't in much better shape; wrinkles had appeared on their faces, and several years of their lives had been taken away.

"What's going on? What's happening?" The captain of the guard was terrified and completely flustered. "Could there really be something evil in this world?"

Na Lan Yan Ran was overjoyed. She had finally used the power of the Soul- Soul-Soul Fruit. She pointed at the sun and a palm-sized fireball of a human face appeared before everyone. This fireball was none other than Apollo from back then.

"You audacious monster, how dare you harm humanity! I'll subdue you!" Na Lan Yan Ran and Apollo were locked in a fierce battle, staging their own grand spectacle, leaving everyone dumbfounded. It turned out they had all misunderstood Na Lan Yan Ran.

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, the talking fireball was successfully subdued.

"Although this evil spirit has been subdued, there are definitely more powerful beings in the Xiao Clan's cemetery. You must be very careful in the future. I'm leaving now."

"Miss Yanran, please wait a moment!" Seeing Na Lan Yan Ran about to leave, the guards panicked. What would they do if she left?

"Miss Yanran, I was ignorant and unaware of your true abilities. Please teach us some methods to ward off disasters and avoid trouble. Also, please help us capture the evil spirits in this cemetery, otherwise we will be in big trouble in the future," the guard captain pleaded earnestly.

"Alright then, your young lady will teach you an introductory mantra for exorcists. Remember to recite it several times at the entrance later. Now, I'm going into the cemetery to catch ghosts." After teaching the so-called exorcist's mantra to these people, Na Lan Yan Ran solemnly picked up two straws from the ground, wove them into the shape of a cross, and walked into the cemetery while shouting, "Only magic can defeat magic! Ghosts and monsters, leave! Ghosts and monsters, leave!"

Seeing that Na Lan Yan Ran had left them, the Xiao Clan guards were afraid that evil spirits would come after them again, so they hurriedly recited the exorcism spells they had just been taught dozens of times.

"Four steamed buns for one yuan, hehe!"

"Mommy, I want to eat roasted yam, I want big pieces, are two pieces enough?"

"Hey bro, you're here!"

Although they didn't understand why this exorcism incantation was so bizarre, they just recited it correctly, and sure enough, after reciting it, those evil spirits really didn't bother them anymore.

"This Miss Yanran is truly a prodigy!" The captain of the guard team, filled with admiration for Na Lan Yan Ran, immediately addressed the crowd. "Everyone, repeat after me, and the evil spirits won't bother us anymore. Steamed buns, four for a dollar, hehe..."

What are you doing?

At this moment, Qing Lin suddenly appeared in front of the group. She noticed that Na Lan Yan Ran acting strangely today, and was even running towards the Xiao Family Mausoleum, so she followed her. Who would have thought that she would see this group of people acting crazy.

"Miss Qing Lin, we're reciting the exorcism incantation that Miss Yanran taught us, it's incredibly effective!" The captain of the guard team, who had become a fan of Na Lan Yan Ran, hurriedly explained to Qing Lin.

Qing Lin frowned and asked, "Where is Na Lan Yan Ran?"

"Let's go in and vanquish demons and save all living beings!" everyone said in unison.

"Foolish!" Qing Lin cursed angrily at everyone before rushing out of the Xiao Clan. She had to report this matter to Xiao Ning as soon as possible.
