One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning
Chapter 606 Ghost Fire
Wu Xie stood still, took out talismans one by one, and calmly threw them out.
Corpses kept emerging, and eerie blue sparks surrounded Chen Tian, silently sealing him inside. No matter how Chen Tian moved, he could no longer stab a single corpse.
The moment the sword tip touched the spark, it was immediately engulfed by the eerie blue flames and inexplicably burst into flames.
Chen Tianxin swung his longsword horizontally into the air, his hands forming a series of hand seals.
The longsword began to transform, and small swords separated from it, surrounding the six sparks in reverse.
"Someone is casting a spell in the bamboo forest!"
Chen Tian turned his head and shouted at Wu Xie, then began to fight in reverse.
After the corpse was destroyed, the black mist it turned into floated towards the red-clad woman's body in mid-air, repairing her wounds corroded by blood, and the lividity was visibly disappearing rapidly.
Wu Xie realized this and understood Chen Tian's intention.
The corpses continued to emerge, posing no real harm to the two of them. However, it was clear that the person behind the scenes did not intend to capture them, but rather to use them to repair the body and soul of the woman in red.
How can this be allowed?
The water ripple explosion symbol from earlier wasn't only effective on the water's surface.
Wu Xie pulled out the Water Ripple Explosion Talisman, made a hand seal, and chanted an incantation.
The water-ripple explosion talisman flew up and burst into flames when it reached a height of about two meters above Wu Xie's head.
The ripples spread out in concentric circles, with the bamboo forest at their center.
After all, there were too many corpses. Even if Wu Xie used talismans to eliminate them, it would still be quite difficult to actually reach the bamboo forest. Using talismans would be much more convenient.
The figure dressed in black was completely focused on the array plate beneath his feet, unaware that talismans were spreading towards them from afar.
By the time he realized what was happening, the explosion had already begun.
The thunderous roar blasted the entire bamboo forest apart.
The array was destroyed instantly, and the unsuspecting man in black was blasted into the air.
Even so, the black robe that covered his body remained intact. After awkwardly regaining his footing in mid-air, he used his movement technique to flee into the distance without looking back.
"Who is that?"
The enormous explosion completely jolted Luo Qing, who had been groggily waking up, awake.
Watching the woman in red repairing her body with the help of the black mist above the river, and the man in black fleeing in a panic, Luo Qing was filled with doubt. He subconsciously wanted to chase after the man in black, but reason told him that the reason why such a big change had occurred beneath the river was all being manipulated by the man in black behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, Luo Qing, who had lost too much blood, had been restrained by Chen Tian and could only watch helplessly as the man in black escaped.
The bamboo forest was destroyed, and the man in black fled in a sorry state. The array plate he summoned was also destroyed, and the corpses that kept crawling out disappeared with a bang.
Without the black resentment to replenish her body, the red-clad woman's body, which had been painstakingly repaired, once again developed lividity and began to sizzle as it was corroded by blood.
The glass bottle of blood was eventually used up.
The woman in red lay flat on the river, barely alive.
She will not die, because she is already dead. Her soul is forced out of her body and can never return.
The soul drifted beside the body, and the woman in red was clearly bewildered.
The blood rain stopped, and she was no longer harmed, which confirmed Chen Tian and Wu Xie's earlier judgment that she was indeed a member of the Luo family.
"You...you are actually a member of the Luo family? You and I are related by blood? How come I didn't know there was such a person as you in the Luo family? As a member of the Luo family, why didn't you return to the Luo family after your death? Instead, you appeared at the bottom of the river and kept accumulating resentment?"
The entire Luo family knows what the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast means to them. How could you collude with bad people and harm the Water-Suppressing Divine Beast?
Now that the water-suppressing divine beast has been corrupted, you...you are utterly unforgivable!
Luo Qing staggered to his feet, his eyes bloodshot, staring intently at the woman in red floating on the river, and roared hoarsely.
As members of the Luo family, we have been taught since we were old enough to protect the water-suppressing divine beast. This is the foundation of the Luo family's long-term prosperity, and the fate of the Luo family is intertwined with that of the water-suppressing divine beast.
A woman in red dwells at the bottom of the river, constantly luring men to their deaths, and the resentment at the bottom of the river gradually accumulates.
For years, the Luo family had been trying to capture the woman in red, but the people they sent out always returned empty-handed.
Even ordinary men might encounter the woman in red, but the Luo family seemed to be separated from her by an invisible barrier, unable to find her.
Luo Qing couldn't understand why, even after a century, no one in the Luo family had solved this mystery.
At this moment, the mystery was finally revealed, but Luo Qing refused to believe that it was actually the Luo family who had orchestrated all of this.
It is precisely because the other party has a blood relationship with the Luo family that such a barrier is created. Similarly, the water-suppressing divine beast will not truly harm this woman in red.
"So this is what you mean by intimate relationships!"
Luo Qing's face was ashen, he was completely devoid of energy, dejected and utterly dejected.
He yelled at the woman in red, as if that would make him feel better.
In fact, he knew in his heart that the fact that the Luo family had not found out about this for hundreds of years was also due to their own incompetence.
If they had paid more attention and done more research on the Luo family's married daughter, how could they have ended up in this state?
The woman in red was wearing a red wedding dress, which was her attire when she died. The accident happened on her wedding day, and the Luo family also owed her a debt of guilt.
If the Luo family could stand up for their married daughters, how could they not have discovered this?
Luo Qing was in a state of turmoil and could only vent his resentment on the woman in red.
“You say I’m a member of the Luo family, but I don’t remember. Where were the Luo family members when I had my accident? I don’t know what the Luo family’s responsibilities are, and I have no interest in knowing. All I know is that I want to let resentment permeate every corner of this river.”
Today, it was my negligence. You injured me with the blood of the Luo family. It's alright, I will be back!
The woman in red laughed wildly, her black hair dancing wildly in the wind. There was no warmth of family reunion in her eyes when she looked at Luo Qing, only deep hatred.
So what if I can't go back to my physical body?
The soul transformed into starlight, scattering across the river surface, and then re-condensing in the water. The woman in red took a deep look at Wu Xie and Chen Tian on the river surface before disappearing into the water, leaving only a corpse covered in lividity floating on the river.
Chen Tian stretched out his finger and gently touched the corpse on the river surface. The corpse seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread and came to the riverbank.
Although the body was covered in lividity, the face still looked the same as when he was alive, and from a certain angle, it bore a resemblance to Luo Qing.
"Captain Luo, this is a member of your Luo family. Even in death, he should return to the Luo family. Why don't we help you send this body back to the Luo family?"
Although Chen Tian's words were asked, his tone carried an undeniable certainty.
Wu Xie shook his head slightly, looking at Luo Qing's distraught state. The continuous explosions along the riverbank had already attracted the attention of some people nearby. Chen Tian took out a talisman and stuck it on the corpse's forehead to seal off the peculiar smell emanating from it, then put the body into the trunk.
Wu Xie drove, carrying Chen Tian and the still somewhat dazed Luo Qing, speeding towards the Luo family home.
At this time, they were at the Luo family's residence.
The head of the Luo family was kneeling in the ancestral hall, silent.
Before dawn, Luo Qing returned and told the Luo family head the results of their investigation that night.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that the woman in red who had wreaked havoc in the river for a hundred years was trapped in mid-air by a master was enough to make the head of the Luo family wary.
As the head of the family, he was well aware that the pollution of the water-suppressing divine beast was largely due to the presence of this woman in red.
Unfortunately, many of the Luo family's elites went to find the woman in red, but all returned empty-handed.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier in the river separating the woman in red from the Luo family, preventing them from ever meeting.
Even the water-suppressing divine beasts were gradually corrupted by the resentment accumulated by the woman in red, and they were powerless to stop it.
Now, a master has appeared who can lure and trap the woman in red, and the resentment at the bottom of the river has spread to the surface. If we don't find a way to remove it, the water-suppressing beast will be in danger.
The head of the Luo family was even considering whether to have Luo Qing find a way to deal with the expert first, so as to eliminate the woman in red, who was the most pressing enemy at present.
"Master, Luo Qing is back. He was brought back by people from the Feng Shui Bureau, and he brought a corpse with him!"
The steward dared not enter the ancestral hall without the Luo family head's permission, and could only stand at the door to report to the Luo family head.
"What did you say?"
The head of the Luo family suddenly stood up from the prayer mat, turned around, stared at the steward standing at the door with a stern expression, and asked in a harsh voice.
As he spoke, he had already walked out of the ancestral hall.
"Well... Luo Qing seems to be injured and looks a bit disoriented. The feng shui people said that the corpse belongs to the woman in red in the river, and that the woman in red is a member of our Luo family!"
"Master, the feng shui experts are still waiting in the reception room. What should we do?"
The butler's voice trembled when he mentioned that the corpse belonged to a member of the Luo family.
Everyone knows that the Luo family has always wanted to capture the woman in red, but now they are being told that the woman in red is one of their own. Such an outcome would be hard for any member of the Luo family to accept.
"I'll go see the people from the Feng Shui Bureau myself!"
The head of the Luo family swayed slightly, but steadied himself and spoke calmly.
Regardless of whether the corpse belonged to a member of the Luo family, the Luo family could not be impolite when the feng shui officials arrived!
The head of the Luo family knew that the feng shui arrangement was a special entity, just like the company; on the surface, the Luo family couldn't afford to offend it!
Wu Xie and Chen Tian sat quietly in the Luo family's living room, waiting.
Luo Qing did not leave, but his face was pale with a bluish tinge. He slumped in a chair to the side, seemingly lost in thought.
Since returning to the Luo family, he has remained silent. Even when speaking to the Luo family's butler, Wu Xie would explain on his behalf, and he would only nod in acknowledgment.
"You've just lost too much blood. You shouldn't be so upset about what's going on in your Luo family, right? You're supposed to be a strong and upright man, how can you be so weak? Don't you understand yet?"
Chen Tian glanced at Luo Qing and saw that he was still in a daze, as if he couldn't come back to his senses. He couldn't help but say something with a hint of sarcasm.
Luo Qing heard Chen Tian's words and sensed the sarcasm in them. After all, if word got out, who would believe that the Luo family wouldn't know about such a bizarre matter?
If he hadn't experienced it himself, Luo Qing thought he probably wouldn't have been able to accept it so calmly.
"I wasn't even born when the woman in red died, so what could I possibly know?"
Luo Qing gave a bitter smile, unsure of what to say or what he could say.
He was also waiting here for the head of the family, hoping to learn the truth from him.
"Leaving aside the matter of the woman in red in the river, the water-suppressing mythical beast under Tianfu Square in Rongcheng was unearthed and secretly moved away from the museum by the four extraordinary families. Among them, the last remaining members of the Xu family were also jointly killed by the four extraordinary families, with only Xu Yuyi escaping."
Captain Luo, are you aware of this matter?
Luo Qing clearly seemed unwilling to talk, and even in the Luo family compound, Chen Tian had no intention of accommodating him. Since he didn't want to discuss the woman in red, then let's talk about something else.
Luo Qing's body trembled violently. He sat up straight instantly, his face full of astonishment as he stared at Chen Tian and Wu Xie.
"You...what did you just say?"
He knew perfectly well that there must be a reason for the feng shui master's sudden appearance here, and the dead fish incident on the river was just a pretext. He hadn't expected Chen Tian to bring up the matter of the water-suppressing beast so casually.
Although Luo Qing was unaware of the Xu family's affairs, he knew that the excavation of the water-suppressing mythical beast beneath Tianfu Square in Rongcheng was indeed a carefully planned scheme by the Luo family and several other family heads.
Now, judging from Chen Tian's words, they actually slaughtered the Xu family? Those were the guardians of the water-suppressing divine beast!
Having figured this out, Luo Qing's body suddenly went limp, and he collapsed heavily to the ground. Even the chair couldn't support his body, and there was a loud "bang".
Wu Xie was surprised that Chen Tian would reveal this matter directly. He was quite open-minded, as if Chen Tian had no intention of hiding their purpose since entering the Luo family.
The Luo family is already preoccupied with the resentment spreading across the river; the Dong family has been imprisoned and sealed off by the company; and Shen Tongyu and Hu Jiu'er have already gone to the An family's side. Even if the Luo family were to seek help, there would be no one left to assist them.
"The comrades from the Feng Shui Bureau are indeed extraordinary!"
The head of the Luo family arrived almost at breakneck speed.
Inside the reception room, Chen Tian and Luo Qing did not deliberately lower their voices during their conversation, so the Luo family head could hear it clearly.
That's why his expression was so solemn at that moment.
He had initially thought that the people from the Feng Shui Bureau had come only because of the woman in red, but now it seemed that they had clearly obtained evidence that the Xu family had been harmed by their several extraordinary families and that they had moved the water-suppressing divine beast.
It can be said that the root cause of this torrential rain in Xichuan District lies with these four local families of extraordinary individuals.
Now, the feng shui bureau is coming to demand an explanation!
After recalling the suggestions they made to the Dong family, the Luo family patriarch was unable to contact the Dong family again, and no news came from them.
This is inevitably related to feng shui.
In an instant, the once robust body of the Luo family head swayed, appearing utterly dejected.
If that's the case, what else can they struggle for?
Perhaps this is indeed Luo's territory, but the Feng Shui Bureau is an official department, and they even have the authority to mobilize company personnel to cooperate in their actions.
As the head of the family, Luo could not only think of himself; he also had to consider the future of the extraordinary family.
The Luo family cannot be ruined in his hands! (End of Chapter)
