91: Chapter 91 You call this "evil energy"? I call this "excessive radiation"
The air in the villa's living room seemed to solidify.
Ye the Half-Immortal stared fixedly at Gu Changan, the muscles on his face twitching slightly due to extreme shame and anger.
Having his criminal record exposed, and even the recording of his illicit intentions thrown out on the spot—for a "Great Master" who made a living by pretending to be supernatural, this was no different from being skinned in public.
"Good, good, good! Young people these days, holding a few broken instruments and daring to talk wildly about the Heavenly Dao!"
Ye the Half-Immortal laughed out of extreme anger, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
Since the civilized approach wouldn't work, he would resort to force.
His System was called [Feng Shui Master System]. As long as he consumed Luck, he could create "miracles" that ordinary people could not understand.
He stomped his foot violently and chanted, "By the order of Taishang Laojun! Evil Qi manifest, a hundred ghosts walk at night!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire villa suddenly shook violently.
The originally bright crystal chandelier began to sway wildly, emitting a teeth-gritting sound of metal friction.
A biting cold wind appeared out of nowhere, whistling and circling in the enclosed living room, causing the curtains to flap loudly.
Zzzzt, zzzzt—the overhead lights flickered on and off, as if something invisible was devouring the electricity.
"Ghosts! There are ghosts!"
Qian Yuqing screamed, terrified, hugging her head and crouching on the floor.
Qian Duoduo's legs went weak, and he collapsed directly onto the sofa, his face as pale as paper.
"Do you see it!"
Ye the Half-Immortal stood in the center of the hall, his long sleeves fluttering, his voice sounding exceptionally eerie in the strong wind: "Is this your so-called science? Is this the radiation you speak of? Open your dog eyes and see clearly! This is a vengeful ghost claiming a life! This is the resentment of this house roaring!"
He pointed down at Gu Changan, his face twisted with arrogant ferocity: "Mortal! In the face of true power, your legal statutes are just scraps of paper! Why haven't you knelt down and kowtowed, begging this throne to take action and suppress it!"
The strong wind swept up the documents on the coffee table, sending papers flying everywhere.
The members of the Special Task Force instinctively raised their riot shields, their expressions tense.
This kind of supernatural phenomenon clearly exceeded their conventional understanding.
Only Gu Changan stood in place, not even a strand of his hair out of place.
He watched Ye the Half-Immortal's performance quietly, his eyes as if he were looking at a monkey trying hard to walk upright.
"Are you done making a scene?"
Gu Changan's voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through the whistling wind.
He leisurely took out a black rectangular device from his pocket, about the size of a TV remote, with a short, thick metal antenna at the top.
This was the [Portable Magnetic Field Stabilizer (Military Version)] redeemed from the System mall, specifically designed to counter this kind of low-level energy disturbance.
"Since you like playing with magnetic fields so much, I'll give you a hand."
Gu Changan gently pressed the red button with his thumb.
Hum—!
A strong magnetic pulse, invisible to the naked eye, instantly swept outwards with Gu Changan as the center.
At this moment, it was as if an invisible giant hand had crudely pressed the pause button on the world.
The whistling cold wind stopped abruptly.
The wildly swaying chandelier instantly stilled.
The flickering lights returned to steady brightness.
The villa, which had just been like a ghost realm, turned back into an ordinary luxury house in 0.1 seconds.
Even the papers flying in mid-air seemed to lose their support and fell to the ground with a rustle.
"Pfft—!"
Ye the Half-Immortal felt as if his chest had been heavily struck by a large iron hammer.
The Qi circulating in his body was forcibly cut off, a sweetness rose in his throat, and a mouthful of old blood sprayed out directly.
He staggered back two steps, holding onto the corner of the table to barely steady himself, his eyes full of horror and disbelief: "Breaking... Breaking the Spell? You broke my formation? This is impossible! There is no Spiritual Qi fluctuation on you! What kind of Magic Treasure did you use?!"
Gu Changan blew the dust off the device and casually threw it to Chen Xiaobei behind him.
"Infrasonic resonance causes objects to vibrate, and a strong electrostatic generator creates airflow and low temperatures."
Gu Changan's tone was flat, as if correcting a primary school student's homework, "Middle school physics textbooks cover resonance frequency and the principle of electrostatic adsorption. Master Ye, your tricks are too old-fashioned."
"You call this a trick?!"
Ye the Half-Immortal was trembling with rage.
That was a Divine Ability granted to him by the System! It was a real Spell! In this bastard's mouth, it had actually become a middle school physics experiment?
"Ignorant brat! You insult me too much!"
Ye the Half-Immortal suddenly pulled an ancient bronze compass from his pocket; it was his Lifebound Treasure, the "Dragon-Seeking Compass."
He bit the tip of his tongue hard and sprayed a mouthful of vital blood onto the compass.
Since science couldn't explain it, he would stake his life on it!
"Heavenly Spirit, Earthly Spirit! I see your forehead is dark, today you will surely suffer a bloody disaster!"
Ye the Half-Immortal was disheveled, looking like a madman, "Blood sacrifice to seek the Dragon, curse to kill..."
Slap!
A yellow ticket was stuck directly onto his forehead, abruptly interrupting his spellcasting.
Ye the Half-Immortal was stunned.
Through the edge of the ticket, he saw a fully armed Special Police officer looking at him coldly, holding a ticket book in his hand.
"According to the 'Regulations on Urban Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Management'," the Special Police officer said expressionlessly, "Spitting and spraying filth in public places is a fine of fifty yuan. Additionally, you are shouting loudly in an enclosed space, which is suspected of disturbing the peace; please show your ID card."
Ye the Half-Immortal's eyes were about to pop out.
Spitting? This was vital blood from the tip of the tongue! It was the vital blood of a Cultivator! You call this spitting?!
"I am a Master! I am casting a Spell!"
Ye the Half-Immortal roared, reaching out to tear the ticket off his forehead.
"Don't move."
Gu Changan walked up, holding that black law enforcement recorder, the lens almost poking into Ye the Half-Immortal's face.
"Mr. Ye, I don't care if you are a Master or a sorcerer. On the land of the Peoples Republic of China, you are first and foremost a citizen."
Gu Changan took a calculator out of his pocket, his fingers tapping quickly.
"You said just now that breaking the formation would cost fifty million, right?"
"According to Article 266 of the 'Criminal Law', anyone who defrauds public or private property with a particularly huge amount shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment."
Gu Changan pressed the "=" sign and showed the screen to Ye the Half-Immortal.
"In addition, the fifty million belongs to income from labor remuneration. According to the Individual Income Tax Law, you need to pay 45% in taxes. Mr. Ye, do you have a legal business license? Do you have a tax registration certificate? Have you declared taxes on your previous thirteen fraud proceeds?"
"If you haven't declared them, that is tax evasion. The amount is huge, and the crime is compounded."
This series of legal statutes was even more lethal than the magnetic pulse from earlier.
Ye the Half-Immortal felt the world spinning.
He had cultivated immortality for his whole life, practiced Qi for his whole life, and no one had ever told him that being an immortal required paying taxes!
What kind of world is this?!
Qian Duoduo, standing by, listened in a daze.
He watched the Great Master, who had been unfathomable just moments ago, now look ghastly pale from all these tax calculations, and suddenly felt that the mysterious sense of awe had vanished into thin air.
"Take him away."
Gu Changan put away the calculator and didn't look at Ye the Half-Immortal again, "Go back and check his accounts. These kinds of charlatans, none of them have clean hands."
Two Special Police officers immediately stepped forward and took out silver "rose gold" handcuffs.
Click.
The cold sensation jolted Ye the Half-Immortal from his astonishment.
He looked at Gu Changan's cold face, and the shame and anger in his heart instantly transformed into complete despair and madness.
He was the chosen one! He was a descendant of Longhu Mountain who possessed a System! How could he be taken away by these Mortals using ridiculous reasons like law and taxes?
If this got out, how could he continue to mix in the Cultivator world?
"You bully people too much... It's you who forced me!"
Ye the Half-Immortal suddenly roared, his eyes blood-red.
He struggled free from the Special Police officers' restraints, threw himself onto the floor, and gripped the cracks in the floorboards tightly with both hands.
"Want to arrest me? Then let's all die together!"
The System inside his body ran frantically, burning up all his Luck.
[Warning! The host is forcibly triggering the Earth Vein Evil Qi! This action will cause a shallow earthquake of magnitude 5.0 or above within a five-kilometer radius, accompanied by the rupture of gas pipelines! Do you confirm?]
"Confirm! Explode for me!"
Ye the Half-Immortal grinned hideously and pressed his hands down violently.
"This is granite geology, and there happens to be a natural gas pipeline and a crustal fault zone underneath! I've seen the geological map; as long as I detonate the Earth Qi here, this villa, and even the entire residential area, will instantly turn into ruins!"
Rumble—this time, the vibration was different from the previous trick.
The floor under their feet began to crack, and a dull, roaring sound came from deep underground, as if a giant beast was waking up.
