Chapter 97

"Alas... It's just a pity that we heard the young master of General Wu's family was unfortunately killed by those two little thieves! If not for this, the Wu family might have also become a cultivation family, and thus enjoyed prosperity for generations to come."

"Indeed! It's all the fault of those two little thieves!" General Wu gritted his teeth, "My poor child, with exceptional talent, joined the Yin Soul Sect, but was ultimately tricked and killed by those two bastards! Humph! It's truly a pity that we can't find those two bastards; otherwise, I would spare no effort to kill them and comfort my child's soul in heaven!"

"There's no need for General Wu to be troubled. Since those two thieves have been expelled from the Yin Soul Sect, they are probably just wandering cultivators. Moreover, the immortal from the Yin Soul Sect also said that he and your young master hit it off, and he will definitely find the two and avenge your young master. General Wu, you don't need to worry about this matter!"

"That's right. Now, we should first kill the Hu couple, take their heads, and offer them as a sacrifice to your young master! Also, the Hu family is wealthy, with businesses and inns under their control. We need to handle these matters properly."

"Exactly! Exactly! The New Year is just around the corner. We must kill them on New Year's Eve and not let them see the New Year..."

...

Hu Donghan and Hu Meier listened for a while outside the window, both wearing smiles on their faces: "These reckless fellows, they don't even know which fake Yin Soul Sect cultivator passed them this information, and they are actually so reckless!"

"But since they are being so reckless, they will all die!" As Hu Meier spoke, she waved her hand, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner suddenly grew larger, with ghostly spirits surging out and rushing directly into the living room.

Hu Donghan, with a finger gesture, summoned a shield wrapped in ghost fire from in front of him, which flew into the room and blocked in front of General Wu. Almost simultaneously, the living room was instantly surrounded by hundreds of ghostly spirits. These spirits, with their piercing howls, lunged at the people in the living room!

The people in the living room were just ordinary mortals with no cultivation at all. In just a few seconds, they were devoured by the spirits, their souls consumed, and they died. Only General Wu, protected by Hu Donghan's ghost fire shield, survived.

However, although General Wu didn't die, he was stunned by the situation before him—how could he have imagined that in just a few seconds, his friends who were eating and drinking with him would all be dead! The contrast was too great!

Outside the door, Hu Meier waved her hand, and the ghostly spirits brought a cold wind, opening the door. At the same time, Hu Meier's fox eyes fixed on General Wu inside the room, and she said in a soft voice, "Little brother, why are you protecting this waste? If you're worried about not finding the godfather and godmother, don't worry. They are now in the dungeon. I've already sent two of my ghosts to protect them..."

Hu Donghan chuckled lightly, glanced at the fat General Wu, and said coldly, "Girl, don't act so rashly! Didn't you estimate that these people were the remnants of the Mu family? From the current situation, it seems different. If we act too hastily, we might miss some details."

"—This fat pig knows the most among all of them! Keep him alive, interrogate him, and then send him on his way!"

"Hmm... Little brother, you're right!" Hu Meier heard this, gathered the ghostly spirits still darting around in the room to her side, and then said coldly, "There seem to be six meddlesome wandering cultivators here. We should deal with them first! Humph! They should think twice before getting involved in this matter!"

As Hu Meier spoke, she leaped into the air, riding the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner.

Then, she quickly made finger gestures in the air, and the ghostly spirits in the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner continuously surged out. In just a few seconds, over three thousand ghostly spirits were swirling densely in the air. After circling in the air for a while, they followed Hu Meier's guidance and descended like a large net, trapping the entire General's residence.

Such a commotion naturally didn't go unnoticed by the six cultivators temporarily staying in the General's residence.

In the guest room of the General's residence, six figures suddenly appeared.

Among these six figures, three were riding dilapidated magical artifacts in the air, while the other three used various means to stand on the roof, all looking up at the sky with fear. Among these six, three had late-stage Qi Cultivation, while the other three didn't even reach late-stage Qi Cultivation! To the eyes of sect cultivators, these six were nothing but trash!

Among the six, a senior-looking cultivator suppressed his fear and clasped his hands towards the sky, saying, "May I ask which senior has graced us with your presence? We six are just temporarily staying here and do not wish to conflict with anyone. If the senior is willing to let us go, we six are willing to leave immediately..."

"Ha ha ha ha..." In the sky, Hu Meier's face appeared among the ghostly spirits, and she looked at the six cultivators with a smile, "How amusing! Do you think this is a place you can come and go as you please? Humph! Since you dared to come here and provoke the Hu family, you will all die! Ghost Banner, Soul Devour!"

As she spoke, the ghostly spirits surrounding them, like a large net, bared their fangs and howled, flying towards the six.

These six Qi Cultivation cultivators hadn't noticed anything strange around them until now. When Hu Meier's Ghost Banner moved, everything around them became clear—

Heaven! What did they see! The sky was filled with ghostly spirits controlled by the opponent? Just this group of spirits, they probably couldn't handle!

"Bad! It's a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and she's skilled with the Ghost Banner! Everyone, scatter and escape!" The leading cultivator, riding a flying sword, casually used a Spirit Bullet Technique to shatter a ghostly spirit in front of him and shouted loudly.

The other five didn't need him to tell them.

As soon as they saw the situation was bad, they started to scatter and escape.

The other two late-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators used spells to kill the ghostly spirits in front of them and fled in different directions. As for the three cultivators on the ground, one took out a Ghost Banner and released a hundred ghostly spirits to block. The other two, one summoned a few skeletons, and the other used a spell to rush towards the nearby wall of the General's residence.

At this moment, Hu Donghan, inside the room, casually punched the frightened General Wu, knocking him unconscious, and then summoned a Corpse Ghost Dragon from the Soul Chart, letting the Corpse Ghost Dragon carry General Wu out of the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Hu Donghan saw Hu Meier relentlessly pursuing the six and quickly said coldly, "Girl! Be gentle! Try to capture them alive! I want to see who they really are!"
