an acquire the entire area, but it requires procedures and won't be possible in the short term... However, I can help you find the owner of Haiyan Building. You should go see that so-called Hundred Gh...There was a tremendous crash of shattering glass, followed immediately by a man's furious roar.

That was Mr. Lao's voice.

We immediately went to the shadows at the corner of the stairs, Jiang Qiyun's barrier enveloped me. The old master upstairs trembled and shouted, "Do you know what you are doing!"

He was holding a gun in his hand.

Does he have a gun That's easy, call the police and arrest him, that'll bring out all the rest.

The person being pointed at was a middle-aged woman whom I had seen before. She claimed to be Mr. Zhao's daughter-in-law.

However, I haven't met Mr. Zhang's son. He is probably working abroad like most young people here.

Overseas labor is expensive, and these hardworking people go abroad to work in various ways, even engaging in illegal work for a good income. Then they save money and send it back home to build large houses and get married.

But long-term separation causes the couple to be like traders, completely devoid of emotion. It wouldn't be surprising if a fire broke out in their backyard.

"Hee hee, of course I know what I'm doing. If this old woman dies, you can go to my room and sleep over openly, right Hee hee hee..." The middle-aged woman laughed in a very strange way.

She was possessed, her smile like muscles twitching. Though terrified, she strained to grin widely.

"She's dead, you have to pay for it! And she was your mother-in-law! How dare you—" Mr. Zhao’s anger was unclear whether genuine or feigned, but he definitely looked shaken, his hands trembling.

He was trembling so badly, he probably couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. The female ghost across from him wasn't afraid of the gun at all. Since her body wasn't her own, being shot to death by him wouldn't be any different. He woke up the villagers, and when the police came, he would either end up dead or in jail.

"How dare I not" The female ghost, controlling the middle-aged woman's body, danced her way out from the shards of broken glass in the feng shui fish tank.

An old woman lay in front of the fish tank, her head red and white from a possible concussion, she was likely dead. She lay motionless on the ground. The fish tank was shattered, with water covering the floor and fish helplessly jumping around on it.

Drops of water, tap-tap-tapping along the crack in the stairs, landed on the first floor, creating an eerie background noise.

I hid in the shadows, hearing the seductive voice of the female ghost: "Now that no one is watching you, why are you afraid Why weren't you afraid when you were crawling with ash You're almost seventy years old, and your lower half is still restless Hee hee hee…"

Mr. Zhang's face turned green. He stammered, "You... you..." but couldn't find the words to speak.

Watching movies is watching movies, but if there were really ghosts in front of me harming people, I would still stop them.

Everything happens for a reason. Since Old Master found his way to the Shen family after much trouble, he's also given himself a way out.

When the female ghost rushed forward, the little demon's chains and my gate of sealing evil both opened at the same time. She was caught off guard to see me emerge from the barrier, her body froze for a moment—

"Bang!!" A gunshot rang out, and the woman's body erupted in a spray of blood. The old man actually shot her!

"What are you doing!" I shouted at him.

This old geezer is a real jerk! He hasn't even been threatened, and he already shoots

His face was panic-stricken, but he quickly regained his composure, taking a deep breath and saying, "This woman is crazy! She's spouting nonsense and ruining my reputation! And she killed her mother-in-law for the sake of jewelry! What misfortune befalls our family... what misfortune..."

Is this person crazy Even at this time, they are making excuses for themselves and fooling themselves

"And you guys! How did you get in here! Don't you know that in America, people who break into someone else's home can be shot!" He suddenly pointed his gun at me, his eyes wide with fury.

Jiang Qiyun walked calmly in front of me, blocking me behind him. He said coldly, "In this world, life and death are decided by me."

The little demon was quick to show its wit, immediately flying out of the shackles to bind his soul.

I watched as the middle-aged woman's body lay on the ground, reciting incantations to summon the underworld and chains flew out to drag the female ghost out.

"Hee hee hee…" Her swollen face emerged from behind the middle-aged woman's back.

"You're the one who set up this ambush, aren't you Why do this" I couldn't help but ask.

This eerie female ghost chuckled and said, "Because it's fun... Men see women as playthings, so I built this extremely yin cave to hold them... Hehehe... One day, they will be retaliated against. The resentment of these women has already tainted this village. Even the old monk's remains have been destroyed and can't be contained... This village deserves... to pay the price for its karmic debts spanning centuries..."

"As a woman, how could you possibly have such abilities Were you also abused" I pressed.

She giggled, but didn't answer.

Jiang Qiyun raised his hand and made a seal, his fingers forming like lotuses, silver light gently surrounding the woman.

Soon, the swollen exterior subsided, gradually shrinking to reveal a frail woman. On her face…her face bore a tattoo of floral patterns.

"Medium." Jiang Qiyun said faintly, "In life, you had the ability to commune with spirits and accumulated good fortune. Afterwards, you did evil deeds, reducing your blessings and lifespan. Today, I'm here personally to guide you, let you go to the path of demons for a trip."

The woman was stunned and hesitantly asked, "Who are you"

"Knowledge without use, take it away." Jiang Qiyun said to the Ghost Gate. The chains suddenly tightened like lightning, pulling the soul in at once—

A wisp of bluish-black smoke, like strands of hair, drifted to the ground and merged with the puddles on the floor, dripping down the stairs with a steady patter.

Jiang Qiyun frowned deeply and said in a low voice, "Really troublesome!"

I was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Jiang Qiyun, even with his own hands, could also make a mistake

"What's in the water" I asked.

He frowned and sighed: "A trace of resentment remains. This woman was a witch in life, knowing some methods to manipulate heaven and earth to escape the grip of the underworld. Her resentment fell into the water and now has seeped into the cracks of the floor, dissipating into the soil... This building cannot be kept, it must be demolished and exposed to sunlight."

But...

I helplessly looked at the two corpses at my feet, shaking my head and saying, "There's more to this than meets the eye... I'd better call the police."

Jiang Qiyun didn't want to be bothered by mundane affairs, so I wrote a note and asked the little ghost to throw it into the village security room. Soon they discovered the tragedy inside.

The shooting immediately alarmed the superiors. I contacted the person in charge of the investigation through my special advisor title and explained the situation. The unearthed jewelry and artifacts, after being blessed, were sent to the cultural relics management department.

After staying away for a few days, we quietly returned to the Shen residence. The chief steward bowed his head in apology, but Shen Qingrui still wore that stubborn expression.

I looked at her, the chief butler kept winking at her to admit her mistake, but she wouldn't.

"It's fine, if you don't admit fault then just keep losing out." I was too lazy to argue with her, so I got up and prepared to leave.

She suddenly spoke up. "Wait...wait—"best and sincerely communicate some bad things to the other party, letting them know the problem and trying my best to remedy it.I'm kindhearted, but Lin Yanhuan never likes my kindness."I told you, m...
