Chapter 74

The appearance of the Nine Yin Ghost Baby was so terrifying that it couldn't be compared to the benevolent deities, let alone ordinary people. Of course, its intimidating power was excessively strong.

After revealing its form, the Nine Yin Ghost Baby merely glanced at the crowd, and the Xiao family members were almost driven to the brink of collapse from fear.

Xiao Qiang and Xiao Yuan's faces turned deathly pale, and they fell to the ground, their pants quickly becoming wet.

Jiang Rong rolled her eyes and fainted directly. Xiao Yuchuan and the middle-aged bodyguard retreated in terror, their faces pale with fear, but they managed to stay on their feet.

Xiao Yuchuan steadied his nerves and quickly averted his gaze to Lu Li, noticing his calm expression. He stammered, "L-Li, is this a ghost?"

Lu Li looked at Xiao Yuchuan and the others with a somewhat appreciative gaze, nodding inwardly. To encounter a ghost baby like this in the middle of the night and not be scared was indeed quite remarkable.

"Xiao Qiang hired a Celestial Master to try to use the ghost baby to kill me, but unfortunately, his skills were inferior to mine, and I eliminated him," he explained, then turned to Xiao Yuan and Xiao Qiang, sneering, "The appearance of the ghost baby always brings bloodshed. Xiao Qiang, Xiao Yuan, who wants to die?"

Upon hearing this, a hot current surged in Xiao Qiang and Xiao Yuan's pants. They no longer cared about their fear and crawled to Lu Li's feet, pleading, "I was wrong. Cousin, cousin, spare me, I will never dare to do it again."

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Seeing his son sobbing and begging bitterly, Xiao Yuchuan's blood pressure soared. He wasn't scared to death by the ghost baby but was almost driven to the brink by his two useless sons.

He knew very well that Lu Li had summoned the ghost baby just to scare them and wouldn't really kill anyone.

"Why didn't you admit it when I asked you nicely? Now that he's using his means, you're both cowards. How can my sons be so useless!"

Seeing the right moment, Lu Li kicked the two aside and coldly said, "For the sake of family, I will temporarily spare you. If this happens again, you will surely die."

To complete the act, he bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and flicked it toward the Nine Yin Ghost Baby. The ghost baby quickly caught it, blinked at Lu Li, and vanished.

The cold wind then disappeared, and the streetlights flickered back on.

Xiao Yuchuan and his son clearly saw Lu Li's actions and trembled, unsure of what to say.

Especially Xiao Yuchuan, who initially valued Lu Li not only because of Xiao Junlan's relationship but also for his medical skills. At this moment, he realized how ridiculous and wrong his thoughts were.

Even if his nephew didn't understand medicine, he was still a formidable presence.

Faced with such a mysterious and unpredictable expert, respect was the only option.

"Today's incident, I don't want it to spread, especially to my mother."

After this scene, Lu Li knew the Xiao family needed time to digest it. Without lingering, he turned and left.

After a long while, Xiao Yuchuan finally stopped trembling and looked at his sons coldly, saying, "Did you see that? You all saw it, right? You fools, if he weren't my nephew and your aunt's son, you wouldn't even know how you'd die if you opposed him."

After a pause, he added, "Tonight's incident, keep it to yourselves. Whoever leaks a word, I'll break their legs and expel them from the Xiao family."

"If this happens again, even if Xiao Li doesn't say anything, I won't spare you."

"Tonight, don't sleep. Go to the kitchen and reflect on your actions."

"How can I have such useless sons? Your cousin has such abilities. If you get along with him, you won't have to fear anyone. Why can't you understand this?"

Xiao Yuchuan sighed deeply, walked to Jiang Rong, and bent down to carry her, instructing as he headed to the bedroom, "Zhijiang, you take the responsibility to supervise them."

The events of the night had a significant impact on Xiao Yuchuan's mental state. He felt it was necessary to carefully consider how to treat Lu Li and others.

"Three feet above one's head, there are deities." He had never taken this saying seriously before, at most thinking about it idly.

But now, thinking about it, he felt a chill and was deeply shaken. He even recalled his past, wondering if he had done anything that violated the laws of heaven and earth.

If he had, he needed to make amends before it caused serious consequences.

Lu Li might not know, but his actions that night not only thoroughly intimidated the Xiao family but also transformed Xiao Yuchuan into a man of integrity and principle.

Leaving the Xiao family, he called Wang Kai and returned to the hotel.

In the hotel, Lu Li sat on the sofa, watching the Nine Yin Ghost Baby float around, playing happily. After a moment of thought, he said, "Little guy, this world isn't suitable for you. I'll send you away tomorrow night. If you encounter a good opportunity, with your potential, you might have a chance to embark on the path of cultivation and achieve the body of a ghost immortal."

The Nine Yin Ghost Baby hovered in front of Lu Li, making two sounds, its eyes filled with reluctance.

"Although I know many cultivation methods, I don't understand ghost cultivation. And you are still naive. Staying in the secular world is not only dangerous but a waste of time."

"Ya ya."

The Nine Yin Ghost Baby shook its head, as if refuting Lu Li.

Lu Li smiled, "Haha! Your future will definitely be glorious. If I ever die, I might have to seek your help!" He waved his hand, "Go play on your own, but don't scare others. Come to me tomorrow night."

The Nine Yin Ghost Baby hesitated for a moment, nodded, and flew out through the window.

Lu Li收回目光，从腰间取出那柄漆黑匕首，仔细观察过后，眼神中多了些厌恶。

He put away his gaze and took out the black dagger from his waist, observing it carefully, his eyes filled with disgust.

He originally thought the dagger was strange because it had been used in too many killings, but now he realized it was not the case.

This dagger, after being forged, had to be inserted into a living person's head and buried in a place of extreme yin before the person died. It would then absorb the victim's soul and yin energy over forty-nine days, ultimately taking its final form.

It had a tremendous killing power, both for humans and ghosts.

"Damn, this thing is not only dangerous to use, but even holding it is a violation of the laws of heaven and earth!"

Thinking about the method of forging the dagger, Lu Li suddenly felt nauseous.

Without hesitation, he took out a golden light talisman, wrapped it around the dagger, and then made a hand seal. The golden light talisman instantly ignited, and the spirits trapped in the dagger let out mournful cries before being completely purified by the golden light.

As the spirits disappeared, the dagger lost all its spiritual power, its surface becoming rusty, like a piece of ordinary iron that had lost its life.

Picking up the dagger and examining it, Lu Li still felt unsatisfied. He gripped the two ends of the dagger and easily broke it in half.
