Chapter 88: Chapter 86: Use Family Wealth to Remove Spirits_1

“That’s a Pregnant Ghost! Often seen in delivery rooms, it causes difficult deliveries leading to the death of the mother.”

The moment she awoke, Yue Qianqian used the ‘Mini Divine Eyes’ on herself and her face paled slightly. “They represent malevolent men who died childless, envious of others who can carry on their family line. As a result, they obstruct other’s childbirth. Its power causes intense abdominal pain and can damage one’s Shenpo and magical instruments. At the sixth house level, it can also control twelve Ghost Babies.”

Reaching this point, Yue Qianqian squinted her eyes. A ‘Pregnant Ghost’ from the sixth house level implied that ever since its birth, it had already caused the deaths of over forty pregnant women and their unborn children.

This was the part she found hard to believe. How could such a fierce evil spirit exist within Nanjing City, given the constant crackdown by the Liudao Division over the years?

Unless, these evil spirits came from the Netherworld, the realm of the Underworld—

But under the jurisdiction of the Chenghuang, the city god, these entities shouldn’t have been able to appear on Earth, not even during Zhongyuan Festival when Yin forces were at their strongest.

“A Pregnant Ghost? I seem to recall that it’s afraid of light and thunder?”

Li Xuan searched his memory regarding Pregnant Ghosts, while at the same time made a nimble leap from his saddle and with an elegant posture, landed on the roof of the nearest building. This was something he couldn’t have done in the past, but Leng Yurou’s yoga lessons had not only made him more adept at controlling Zhenyuan but his body had also become more flexible.

“It also fears all silver instruments.” Yue Qianqian hesitated slightly: “However, we can leave this Pregnant Ghost alone. It only targets pregnant women who are about to give birth. As long as we don’t provoke it, it won’t directly harm people.”

“Since we’ve encountered it, we can’t leave it alone. Old Peng! You and Qianqian organize the crowd to evacuate.”

As Li Xuan spoke, he looked down at the street below. The ‘Mini Divine Eyes’ of Yue Qianqian allowed him to see the twelve Ghost Babies which had already slipped into the bellies of the pregnant women.

If they let this ‘Pregnant Ghost’ go today, it wouldn’t pose a threat to the safety of this street. But within at most three to five months, there would be twelve more pregnant women in Nanjing City who’d die of difficult deliveries.

If he hadn’t seen it, it would be forgivable if he lacked the ability to eradicate them. But now that Li Xuan not only saw it with his own eyes, and had regained confidence in his martial arts, how could he turn a blind eye?

As a person from another world, he would be mocking the nine years of compulsory education of his country if he could stand by indifferently facing such a situation, having indulged in dreams of martial arts for more than a decade. How then could he bring himself to become an online critic?

“Understood!”

Peng Fulai had already started working. Given his earlier experience, he managed to do an admirable job this time.

Within a short moment, all of the crowds began to orderly evacuate to both sides. There was no panic, nor any stampede simply because the people here were already familiar with Li Xuan and his crew and held a certain degree of trust in them. Secondly, Peng Fulai had strong means, he and Yue Qianqian first found a few constables who were also patrolling the streets and then called in two local Jiashou (Jia household, ten households make a Jia) to help.

Although it might seem like a waste of time, it was actually more efficient. In less than three minutes, half of the street was emptied.

At this time, Zhang Yue also jumped onto the roof, looked up and said: “We need to lure it down before we make our move.”

The ‘Pregnant Ghost’ was floating in the air, about sixty-six feet off the ground. This made him feel quite thorny. The Land Surge Technique was not a strength of the Zhang family, with his current cultivation, he could only jump about ten feet.

Furthermore, leaving the ground meant giving up his largest advantage.

“Use the talisman, but try not to scare it away.”

Li Xuan’s lips twitched as he felt a bit pained. This was a Pregnant Ghost at the sixth house level after all. Without at least high-level talismans, it wouldn’t be possible to hurt it.

But that also meant running up a bill of over a thousand teal of patterned silver – they really are using their fortunes to protect public tranquility.

At the same time, Li Xuan gave a puzzled look towards a certain direction not too far away.

He thought to himself, this big Pregnant Ghost shows up and that female demon doesn’t plan to do anything? Is this because she trusts them, looks down on this ‘Pregnant Ghost’ or has other motives?

※※※※

At the same time, about three hundred feet away from Li Xuan and his group, Si Qianhui clenched her sword hilt: “Xiaowei! That’s a Pregnant Ghost.”

Perhaps it’s because she’s a woman herself, but she had a particular disdain for this kind of evil spirit.

If it weren’t for a certain degree of respect and apprehension she held towards her superior, Jiang Hanyun, she would’ve rushed over and killed the ‘Pregnant Ghost’ straightaway.

This filthy and disgusting entity shouldn’t exist in this world at all.

“Li Xuan and his team have already started acting.”

Jiang Hanyun toyed with a strand of her hair, her eyes harboring deep intentions as she looked into the distance: “In the past five days, Li Xuan’s team has eliminated three sixth-house-level evil spirits one after another. Each time they took less than a quarter of an hour and they never relied on help from superior forces. Sister Qianhui, do you not trust them?”

“Would anyone really be at ease in this situation?” Si Qianhui shook her head, then her expression shifted slightly: “Hanyun, you want to see how they fight, don’t you?”

“I want to see how they’re able to exorcise evil spirits. Even though they’re all rich tycoons and are equipped with a lot of magical instruments and talismans, I still find it hard to believe that these four rookies could deal with a sixth-house-level evil spirit and not just that, but within a quarter of an hour. If it weren’t for Zhuque Hall’s spirit detector that had confirmed their feats, I would find it hard to believe.”

Jiang Hanyun’s face radiated traces of excitement and anticipation: “Sister Qianhui, don’t you want to see how they’re exorcising spirits?”

She turned her head again, promising solemnly: “Don’t worry, Sister Qianhui, I won’t let that ‘Pregnant Ghost’ escape, nor will I let it harm the innocent.”

Si Qianhui naturally trusted Jiang Hanyun’s promise.

Her superior, although young, was the most powerful among all the demon-slaying Xiaoweis in the Zhuque Hall, and perhaps the most powerful in the history of all Xiaoweis in the Zhuque Hall.

She released a sigh, suppressing the urge to kill: “Now that you mention it, I truly don’t understand how they managed to do it. That Zhang Yue does indeed have an exceptional gift. Although he’s only at the fourth house level, he possesses the Xingtian bloodline, making him even more powerful than some cultivators at the fifth house level. However, the Xingtian’s Overbearing War Secret of his family isn’t particularly strong at the early stages, so it shouldn’t be able to take down a sixth-house-level evil spirit.”

“In this team, Zhang Yue is not the only one. I’m more optimistic about Li Xuan.”

Thinking of Li Xuan’s astonishing Cold Power, Jiang Hanyun’s eyes sparked: “But according to normal calculations, he shouldn’t have the power to harm a sixth-house-level evil spirit yet – it’s begun!”

At that moment, the sky where they were gazing burst into a bright light. A glaring bolt of purple lightning suddenly struck the ‘Pregnant Ghost.’ Simultaneously, dozens of red fireballs soared into the sky, setting the evil spirit on fire.

This infuriated the ‘Pregnant Ghost,’ it immediately swooped down towards the ground, wrapped in flames.
