167: Chapter 167 A Hundred-Year-Old Mystery? Wait, this mystery is the Chosen One!?

Zhang Xuan shook his head. "It should be fine!"

"If that woman has a connection with the ghost..."

"Then other places in this room should also be tainted with ghostly aura!"

Zhang Xuan's face darkened. "This ghost, how come it picks and chooses its victims based on who they are?"

Since they all went together, why was only Wen Xun infected?

Shen Yuan smiled slightly; everything was understood without being said.

Who told Wen Xun to have the script of a Tragic Romance Female Lead?

"Lu Xiao, I'm serious, why don't you just tie your girlfriend up!"

"Confinement love, forced love!"

"Don't let her out anymore!"

"She's a trouble magnet!"

"Send the location to Old Shen. Tonight, we'll go check out that building!"

Zhang Xuan pulled out his peach wood sword. "This priest shall slay demons and eliminate evil!"

Shen Yuan rubbed his chin and pondered for a moment. "Alright, we'll go to that abandoned building tonight."

"Since we've encountered a ghost, we have to pull it out by the roots."

"Otherwise, ordinary people will easily suffer." Shen Yuan nodded.

"Idiot, keep a good eye on your girlfriend!"

Shen Yuan turned and left.

Zhang Xuan followed behind, pulling out a talisman and slapping it onto the villa's main door with a 'pa'.

He looked back and shouted, "Don't go running around tonight..."

"In case we go there and the ghost isn't home, but comes to your house instead..."

"Be careful yourself."

After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he followed Shen Yuan and left.

Lu Xiao's mouth twitched.

So even staying at home was life-threatening?

Master, Celestial Master, give me a few more talismans!

Time passed...

Chu Yang's group all came running over.

Shen Yuan: "????"

Chu Yang's group had all rushed over after hearing the news.

Shen Yuan: "????"

Chu Yang: I've never seen a ghost!

Xiao Ce and the others followed, nodding like chickens pecking at rice.

Right, right, right, we really haven't seen one!

Han Miao also followed along.

Shen Yuan's face darkened. "Miao Miao, your cultivation is too poor. Going there will just be dragging us down."

Han Miao silently glanced at Shen Yuan, turned, and left.

Her back was filled with desolation.

Everyone: "..."

There's really no need for a tragic drama in this kind of situation.

Han Miao: I must cultivate, I must cultivate, I must cultivate!

Otherwise, I won't be able to make it to any big events.

I can only go home in the middle of the night and bury my head in cultivation.

Brother...

I think you could take a few more beatings.

I just don't know if beating up my own brother would increase my villain points.

Forget it...

Brother has already taken enough.

Tonight, I'll go farm Liu Ruyan instead.

"Each of you loves watching the spectacle without worrying about it being too big."

"Then let's all go together!"

Shen Yuan waved his hand grandly.

Ghost...

With so many Children of Destiny personally sending you on your way.

You can already be proud!

After all, even the Mythological Rank Villain Ji Mie...

Didn't get this kind of treatment!

The Lu Family Villa.

Lu Xiao held Wen Xun, shivering at home.

He had a cross tucked in his pocket and Buddhist beads hanging around his neck.

His left hand gripped a whisk, and his right hand held a peach wood sword!

He wore red inner clothes underneath and a Daoist robe on the outside!

A Bible was hidden at his waist, and a basin of black dog's blood was placed beside him.

Brother Shen, you must take down that ghost!

I'll be praying for you all at home!

Shen Yuan and the others packed some things and drove to the abandoned building on the outskirts of the city.

As they approached the building, they felt a piercing cold wind hit them. The surrounding streetlights began to flicker, dimming and brightening, exuding a ghostly atmosphere.

The building was in ruins, the walls were mottled, and most of the windows were broken, like hollow eyes staring at the newcomers.

"This is the place."

Zhang Xuan picked up his compass, and the needle spun frantically.

"Whoa, this isn't some ordinary lonely soul or wild ghost!"

"It's sensed that I'm here!"

"It actually dares to mess with my compass?"

Zhang Xuan put away the compass and rolled up his sleeves.

"I intended to interact with you as an ordinary Daoist..."

"But all I got in return was your cold indifference!"

"This young master isn't pretending anymore!"

"Heavenly Eye, open!"

Zhang Xuan made a hand seal and swiped it before his eyes; a glimmer of golden light immediately appeared in his gaze.

"Talismans, peach wood swords, I don't need any of them anymore!"

"This young master has decided to use the Five Thunder Orthodoxy to deal with you!"

Zhang Xuan's mouth curled. "Old Shen, be careful, this isn't an ordinary lonely soul or ghost."

Shen Yuan nodded.

Chu Yang and the others also nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

A ghost!

I wonder what the difference between a ghost and a person really is!

By the way...

Those two Wraith Knights, Ning Caichen and Qiu Sheng...

When they were having fun...

What did it feel like?

Is it like interacting with air?

Is it all an illusion?

"Let's go, get inside!"

Zhang Xuan's gaze was cold. "Daring to provoke me, a Little Celestial Master? I'll let him know what it means to have a white blade go in and a red blade come out!"

The group entered the abandoned building directly.

"Seeking death!"

A cold voice came through. "Young Daoist Priest, how much weight do you carry to dare imitate others in slaying demons and eliminating evil?"

A cold voice suddenly rang out, "Young Daoist Priest, are you even worthy of imitating others in slaying demons and eliminating evil?"

The eerie cold air raged wildly. At the front of the corridor...

A handsome man dressed in silk with an arrogant aura slowly emerged.

His aura was bone-chillingly cold, and a long braid trailed behind his head.

"Oho, so it's an old ghost from the Qing Dynasty!"

"And a centuries-old ghost at that!"

"Barely qualifies to be called a Ghost King."

Zhang Xuan's interest was instantly piqued. "Jiejiejie!"

Killing such a thing would be something to brag about!

However...

Shen Yuan was frozen in place.

"Ding! Excellence-grade Child of Destiny discovered!"

The system's prompt rang out.

Shen Yuan: "????"

His whole body went numb, and he stood there motionless.

What the heck?

A Ghost King?

And it's a freaking Excellence-grade Child of Destiny?

Is there some mistake!

How can a Ghost King be a Child of Destiny?

Zhang Xuan noticed something was wrong with Shen Yuan and nudged him.

"Old Shen, what's wrong?"

Zhang Xuan looked nervous.

The others also hurriedly surrounded him.

Old Shen is our precious darling!

"Hahaha!"

The Ghost King sneered, "This King is Mo Yuan!"

"This fellow must have been scared witless upon seeing This King's heroic bearing, right?"

Mo Yuan sneered.

"It's nothing!"

Shen Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the confusion in his heart. "This guy is a Child of Destiny."

Everyone: "Holy crap!?"

This thing is a freaking Child of Destiny?

Everyone shook their heads in unison.

Old Shen, you surely don't want to pick this thing up and bring it back too, do you?

Big brother...

Gathering men into the house was enough!

Now you're not even letting ghosts off?

Shen Yuan shook his head and took a deep breath. "Wait, let me see!"

The Ghost King looked bewildered. "What are you talking about?"

"You old ghost, you don't understand anything!"

"Society is developing, the times are progressing, but Dongqing just won't drink!"

Shen Yuan said calmly, "Do you understand?"

Ghost King: "????"

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

"You bastard!"

The Ghost King took a deep breath. "Daring to look down on This King, This King wants you dead!"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Xuan cursed, "Don't you see Old Shen wants to look at you?"

"Old Shen's eyes will determine your path!"

Zhang Xuan raised his hand. "Any more nonsense and I'll serve you the Five Thunder Orthodoxy!"

Ghost King: "You think This King was raised on threats?"

Shen Yuan activated the Eye of Destiny, staring at the Ghost King, then said, "Brothers, get him!"

"Grandmother's bear!"

"What kind of garbage is this!"

"A ghost that wantonly uses the essence and blood of ordinary people to cultivate!"

The Overbearing Ghost King Falls in Love with Me, is that it?

Shen Yuan cursed, "Brothers, get him!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Xuan turned and charged.

Mo Yuan let out a sneer, "A mere little Daoist, I..."

"Ow, holy crap!"

"Don't hit the face!"
