One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

"I'm fine, these old bones can still hold up. You quickly take people to investigate, and if you can't purify those resentful spirits, don't act rashly!"

The head of the Luo family knew Luo Qing's strength very well. He gripped Luo Qing's hand tightly and gave him earnest advice.

Luo Qing nodded heavily.

After finishing their meal, Chen Tian and Wu Xie waited by the river early in the morning.

Just to be on the safe side, the two even put invisibility talismans on their bodies to prevent others from seeing them.

Luo Qing, accompanied by two members of the Luo family, appeared at the riverbank around 11:00 AM.

Without hesitation, they went straight to the place where Luo Qing had thrown out the talisman during the day.

The three of them simultaneously took out a black pill and put it in their mouths, then walked straight into the water and disappeared from sight in no time.

"Did they take some kind of water-repelling pill?"

Chen Tian had seen similar records in ancient books, but the alchemy lineage had long since declined, and few of the formulas had been passed down. Therefore, there were very few people who knew how to make pills, let alone have a water-avoiding pill.

"After all, the Luo family is a renowned family of extraordinary individuals in the area, so it's quite normal for them to possess such a lost art of alchemy!"

Wu Xie stroked his chin, not finding it surprising at all. "They used water-repelling pills to go into the water. What are you planning to do?"

Wu Xie glanced at Chen Tian, ​​seriously considering how long he could last underwater.

Chen Tian: "..."

Without the water-repelling pills, he lost!

"I'll go into the water first, you stay on the shore and keep watch!"

The river water was icy cold. As soon as Chen Tian entered the water, he felt the chill seep into his bones and limbs, causing him severe pain.

In the pitch-black river, where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, Chen Tian clutched a fluorescent bead in his hand, the only source of light. Even so, the light could only illuminate a two- or three-meter-wide area underwater.

Luo Qing and the other two, who had entered the water a step earlier than him, had already disappeared without a trace. Chen Tian could only rely on instinct and keep diving deeper into the water.

That chilling aura seeped into my very bones through my pores. The fluorescent bead was no ordinary object; Chen Tian had deliberately placed a spell inside it to absorb nearby resentment.

Logically speaking, given the heavy resentment in the river, it's strange that not a single trace of resentment is flowing towards the bead; instead, it's all attacking Chen Tian. This situation is highly abnormal.

At this moment, the red thread on Chen Tian's wrist began to tighten. He felt a pang in his heart, knowing that Wu Xie was calling him back.

But he had only just gone into the water and hadn't found any clues, not even a glimpse of Luo Qing and the others. How could he give up so easily?
The thought flashed through Chen Tian's mind. He gritted his teeth, untied the red thread on his wrist, and continued diving towards the bottom of the water.

Unbeknownst to him, the moment the red thread was untied, a woman in a bright red wedding dress appeared behind him.

The woman tilted her head and stared intently at Chen Tian, ​​her red eyes standing out prominently in the river water.

Although Chen Tian didn't see it, he still sensed the blatant stare.

He turned around in the river, and when he suddenly looked back, he saw nothing.

But the feeling of being watched persisted and never disappeared. No matter how Chen Tian moved his body in the river, he couldn't see anything.

In the pitch-black water, it seemed as if he were all alone.

In fact, the woman in red had been following Chen Tian the whole time. She moved with him, which is why she hadn't been noticed.

After a while, the woman seemed to have had enough fun, and suddenly lunged forward, landing directly on Chen Tian's back.

Chen Tian felt a weight on his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw black hair slipping down from both sides of his shoulders.

"My lord, will you take me home?"

A soft, amused voice rang in Chen Tian's ears.

Immediately afterwards, a scene inexplicably appeared in Chen Tian's mind: a woman in a bright red wedding dress was sitting in a bridal chamber with burning red candles, but what awaited her was a group of men who broke through the door, rushed up to her, and tackled her to the ground.

A bright red "double happiness" character hung high on the wall, and red dragon and phoenix candles burned quietly. The woman's cries echoed in the room for a long, long time.

After the rooster crowed three times, the last man finally climbed off the woman with a satisfied look on his face.

The woman thought that the torment of the night was finally over.

But she was ultimately too naive.

The groom, dressed in a red wedding robe, walked in from outside, bowing and scraping to the men who were ravaging the women, begging for mercy. He even said that if the woman in red didn't serve him well, she should practice more, because she had to get used to serving these gentlemen.

The woman in red, who thought she had finally found salvation, realized that the one who had dragged her into hell was none other than her newlywed husband.

Blood and tears welled up in her eyes, and the woman in red laughed in a hoarse voice.

The laughter was full of mockery.

She would rather die than be treated like this.

The woman in red rushed towards the doorpost of the bridal chamber, using all her strength to smash her head against it. She died without even leaving a last word.

Tragically, she was still wearing the tattered wedding dress when she died.

Her eyes were wide open, blood was streaming down her forehead, and blood from her lower body was mixed with murky liquid, making for a shocking sight.

The woman in red died just like that, something none of the men present had expected. The most regrettable one was the groom, who had been hoping to use the woman in red to win over these men.

The men cursed the bad luck and turned to leave the bridal chamber, leaving the groom alone to deal with the woman in red's body.

For some unknown reason, the groom did not bury the woman in red, but instead picked up her body and threw it into the dry well in the backyard.

Perhaps to cover up the news of the woman in red's death, the groom completely sealed off the dry well in the backyard and closed off the entire backyard, forbidding anyone from entering.

That dry well had been abandoned because it was dry. But after the woman in red's body was thrown in, whether by coincidence or for some other reason, clear spring water began to slowly emerge from the bottom of the well.

The body was submerged in the spring, but strangely it did not sink to the bottom; instead, it rose with the rising water level.

Even more bizarrely, the woman in red showed no signs of decay, remaining exactly the same as when she was alive. Had the body not been devoid of a heartbeat, anyone who saw it would have mistaken it for a living person asleep.

When the body of the woman in red was brought to the well mouth by the well water, the sealed wooden planks suddenly exploded, and the body, which had been lying horizontally, stood up and flew out of the well mouth.

The woman in red opened her eyes again, her eyes now a deep red. The soft glow of the full moon shone upon her as she gazed at the abandoned courtyard, her entire body shrouded in a dark aura.

Everyone in the mansion died without anyone noticing.

The woman in red had taken her revenge, but felt lost. Just then, a suction force suddenly came from the well, and she was sucked into the well without even having the strength to resist.

Strangely enough, after being sucked back into the well, the water level dropped as the woman in red sank. Her body completely disappeared into the whirlpool at the bottom of the well.

The dry well has returned to its original state, showing no signs of change.

Standing in the river, Chen Tian's body suddenly trembled, and golden light spread outwards from him.

The illusion vanished, and the woman in red on his back was burned by the sudden burst of power emanating from Chen Tian and sent flying backward.

The woman in red lay floating lightly in the river, an expression of disbelief on her face. "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

She seemed unable to believe that she had been knocked away, and tried to pounce on Chen Tian again.

Chen Tian formed a hand seal, and a point of golden light spread out, instantly freezing the woman in red.

"You've been running rampant here for so many years, what about all the men you've killed? Their boundless resentment has reached the river, where are they?"

Chen Tian asked with a cold smile, but accidentally inhaled a mouthful of river water.

His expression changed drastically instantly. Ignoring everything else, he hurriedly began chanting a spell. The red thread that he had previously untied from his wrist reappeared from nowhere and wrapped itself around the woman in red.

Unlike ordinary ghosts, the soul of the woman in red was imprisoned within her own corpse, which is why she could be bound by the red thread.

Under the stunned gaze of the woman in red, Chen Tian dragged her to the surface of the water.

Wu Xie, who was on the shore, was already anxiously waiting.

After Chen Tian went underwater, he used the red thread connecting the two of them to sense the depth of Chen Tian underwater little by little.

While assessing Chen Tian's condition, Wu Xie also needed to keep an eye on the activity on the shore, especially the bamboo forest that Chen Tian had specifically mentioned.

From the outside, everything in the bamboo grove seemed normal. However, a large number of dead fish suddenly floated on the river, and the riverbank was deserted. No one dared to approach, and there was a warning line set up nearby, so it was considered safe.

For some reason, Wu Xie felt that this seemingly perfect bamboo forest was actually strange. He vaguely sensed that an indescribable gaze was lurking in the shadows, silently watching him.

Wu Xie was certain he wasn't mistaken about this.

Since Chen Tian seemed to be sinking further into the water, and the gaze made no further moves for the time being, Wu Xie pretended not to notice and focused all his attention on the river.

However, not long after, the red thread on Chen Tian's side loosened.

Did Chen Tian untie the red thread himself?

Wu Xie had no idea what Chen Tian was doing underwater. Although he was nervous, he didn't show any unusual expression on his face.

Just then, a splashing sound came from the water, and Wu Xie saw Chen Tian dragging a corpse to the surface. This corpse was clearly different from ordinary corpses; there was a soul inside.

"Alright, now that we're on the shore, you should tell me what's going on with that resentment coming from beneath the river?"

Chen Tian clapped his hands and pulled out three small flags. With his movement, the three small flags moved without wind, landing precisely around the red-clad woman's corpse, trapping her inside.

"The Luo family members have all gone down, and their resentment will naturally be resolved by them. So where did you two come from? What are you doing here, acting like heroes?"

The woman in red laughed wildly, her bright red wedding dress fluttering in the wind, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

"If the Luo family could truly eliminate all the resentment here, how come you didn't even notice?"

Chen Tian sneered at the woman in red's words.

From the very beginning, the woman in red deliberately appeared before Chen Tian. As for where the Luo family went, it was likely related to the water-suppressing beast, and Chen Tian didn't care about that.

His and Wu Xie's goal was to find out who was behind the tampering with the water-suppressing divine beast.

The woman in red may be innocent, but she is undoubtedly a pawn of the person behind the scenes, and the role of this pawn has been played to the fullest extent.

The woman in red was taken aback by Chen Tian's words.

What did you see in that illusion?

She suddenly realized that perhaps from that illusion in the water, everything had been out of her control.

"You escaped the whirlpool of the dry well and ended up here, right?"

Chen Tian did not answer the woman in red's question, but continued to press her for an answer.

With her soul forcibly imprisoned within her body, the woman in red may eventually turn into a zombie.

However, perhaps someone behind the scenes interfered, and the resentment absorbed by the woman in red was extracted and used to corrupt the water-suppressing divine beast. Therefore, Chen Tian saw through her illusion from the very beginning.

Chen Tian decided to play along and took control of the illusion, witnessing the process of the woman in red appearing there.

"Now that you know, I have nothing more to say. You can't kill me, so try to keep me trapped. After dawn, no matter what methods you use, I will automatically return to the bottom of the river."

The Luo family won't last much longer; this place will eventually become a memorial site for their master's return!

The woman in red instantly relaxed, looked Wu Xie and Chen Tian up and down, and said these words with a smile.

"Who is your master?"

Upon unexpectedly hearing important news, Chen Tian and Wu Xie exchanged a glance and asked at the same time.

Unfortunately, as soon as they finished speaking, the woman in red refused to answer.

She was still bound by the red thread, and although she was just a prisoner, she looked completely unconcerned.

Could it be true, as she said, that she will automatically return to the bottom of the river after dawn?
How is this possible?
Chen Tian was quite confident in his methods of restraint.

Lianyungang City, Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation.

There is no moon tonight.

Huang Miao was playing chess with Zhang Qilin.

Suddenly, he felt uneasy; he knew he couldn't continue playing the game.

After putting down the chess pieces, Huang Miao walked to the window and began to calculate.

Rings of white light spilled from his hands, then coalesced again, repeating this process over and over.

Zhang Qilin had no idea what Huang Miao had seen, but he noticed that Huang Miao's expression was becoming increasingly serious.

After a long while, the white light dissipated and stopped coalescing, and Huang Miao finally let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

At this moment, Chen Tian and Wu Xie were confronting the woman in red, and the atmosphere was very tense.

The phone rang abruptly at this crucial moment.

"Hello, Director Huang, this is Chen Tian!"

"Chen Tian, ​​this woman has some blood relation to the Luo family. With the help of that bloodline, you can break through her barrier!"

Huang Miao's authoritative voice reached Chen Tian's ears through the microphone.

Because the hands-free function was on, not only Chen Tian heard Huang Miao's instructions, but Wu Xie and the woman in red not far away also heard them.

So, the woman in red in front of us is actually a descendant of the Luo family?
Chen Tian and Wu Xie were both shocked! With the Luo family's status, how could their daughter end up in such a tragic state after getting married?
"So, I'm actually a member of the Luo family?"

Compared to Chen Tian and Wu Xie's shock, the woman in red looked down at her own hands. (End of Chapter)
