“Since you can say the names Mu Xia Qiao and Mu Yun Fan, you're not lying to me.”"Huh""Do you know who these two are"I shook my head. "I've only ever met Mu Xia Qiao, and I called her Mistress along w...The sinister aura behind the door startled the master downstairs. Qi Master's assistant rushed up and shouted at us, "Don't open the door! My master said something rushed in!"

My brother pulled out the two swords from the bottom of his grandfather's coffin that had been kept in his backpack: "Xiao Qiao, this light one, you take this."

He handed me the intricately carved seven-star peach wood sword, while he himself held the乾坤法劍 (space-time sword), a bronze talisman clutched in his hand, ready to open the door.

The assistant panicked and rushed up to stop him, saying, "My master said it can't be opened! The things inside are dangerous! Wait for him to set up the formation and come back to clean it up!"

"That's enough, we've seen what's inside. If your master wants to take it, just come up here. Don't put on airs and set up any formations. When the time comes for us to deal with you, you'll be saying we didn't give you face." My brother was very dissatisfied with Master Qi, not wanting to give him any face.

I pulled Lin Yanhuan to the corner of the hallway, blocking him in front and looking at the compass. The small needle on the compass was constantly pointing at the study door. Lin Yanhuan wasn't being honest and staying behind me, instead he leaned over and blocked my view of the compass.

I impatiently shoved him aside: "Mr. Lin, don't cause trouble, stand behind me."

Lin Yanhuan's expression froze, her mouth twitched and she said: "This kind of thing I should say to you."

He raised his hand, and four bodyguards surrounded us, drawing their guns.

"A handgun... I looked at Lin Yanhuan in surprise. What kind of person was he, that his bodyguard could even be armed!"

Look at these bodyguards, each with a blank expression on their face and eyes like knives staring at everyone in the room, including me.

"I'm just holding a peach wood sword, you don't have to be so guarded..." I protested softly to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard was the one Song Wei had flirted with that day. He had handsome features and piercing eyes. He coldly said to me, “Miss, your compass is very sharp, please give it to me to keep so as not to accidentally injure anyone.”

He saw through that too! My brother warned me to be careful when he gave me this compass, not to cut myself.

"It's fine, Miss Mu is trustworthy." Lin Yanhuan instructed lightly, then turned to me and said: "I don't know what you're nervous about. If there's danger behind the door, Miss Mu, it's best for you to hide to the side."

I... I'm here to deal with the evil spirits, okay You want me to get out of the way

There, my brother and his assistant were tugging at each other, shoving him away. "We've greeted the monster plenty of times, don't bother me here, Master Qi! If you have the guts, come collect it yourself—"

A cold snort echoed from the foot of the stairs. Master Qi strode over with his hands behind his back: "You young whippersnapper doesn't know your place! Behind you are refined malevolent spirits. Do you think ordinary methods can handle them The Mu family is just a shadowy merchant clan. You might be able to deal with some common ghosts by using your yin energy, but you dare to overestimate yourselves against these powerful spirits!"

My older brother let out a scoff and sheathed the All-Encompassing Sword: “Alright, you go first. Don’t say our Mu family is rushing ahead.”

The Kunlun Sword is an important magic tool for every mage. There are three sizes: small, medium, and large, with varying amounts of currency required.

My grandfather's Dry Sky Sword is inlaid with ancient coins. They are very old, and each one is different. To assemble this sword of one hundred and eight coins, I wonder how much thought my grandfather must have put into it.

Just now when my brother held this sword, the sinister aura emanating from the crack in the door seemed to be pushed back. The moment he sheathed it, those black miasmas started to spread again.

This Master Qi, it's unclear if he is a charlatan seeking fame or someone with genuine abilities. Does he even perceive these subtle and ominous energies He stands there at the door, looking utterly confident.

Lin Yanhuan's mind didn't see me as "combat power". When he saw Master Qi arrive, he naturally handed over the heavy responsibility to Master Qi.

"Master Qi, are there any problems with this matter at the back" Lin Yanhuan asked him.

"Feeling valued, Qi Master nodded and said: 'There is a heavy presence of yin energy, there must be evil spirits and malevolent ghosts rampaging through this house. Those with predominantly Yin in their fate should leave this house immediately. I have already set up protective formations around the four corners of the house to prevent these evil entities from leaving. Wait until I and a few fellow Daoists deal with this matter before we remove the formations.'"

He spoke with authority and a distinguished air, looking far more reliable than my brother and I.

Lin Yan happily complimented a few words. My brother pulled me out from behind the bodyguard, and we leaned against the wall, waiting to see the Qi Master's magical powers.

Master Qi is more orthodox. He recites incantations, performs hand gestures, and writes talismans very convincingly. In contrast, I just recite scriptures to summon spirits like the Ferryman and Black and White Imps.

Master Qi finished his preparations, pinched the incantation and gripped the sword as he opened the door to his study.

Inside seemed eerily still, with no ghosts rushing out, but I felt an oppressive and gloomy atmosphere hanging heavy in the air.

I couldn't help but shout: "Master Qi, it's best not to—".

Master Qi glared at me, snorted coldly, and said: "Half-baked Xiaokun Dao, don't interrupt my practice!"

Does he think I'm blocking his path to riches He keeps putting us down.

My kindness was taken for granted, and I don't want to say more about it.

"Let him go in and get burned, hmph. If he can handle it, good for him. But if he can't, watch his old face turn red!" My brother huffed, arms crossed.

Just shortly after Master Qi entered, we heard him roaring with anger inside.

My heart was pounding. This black ghost had blood-red eyes. At first, it just lay on Lin Yanhuan, absorbing his essence. But last night, Lily was backlashed. This evil spirit has tasted blood now. Just looking at Lily's state, you can see how insane this ghost is.

A howl suddenly came from inside the house. Qi Da Shi's assistant was worried and ran to the door to ask what happened. As soon as he opened it, a wave of sinister energy knocked him down! Lin Yan Huan's bodyguard wanted to step forward, but I quickly shouted, "Don't move! Don't go to the door!"

Lin Yanhuan frowned, this unseen danger made him a little at a loss, what use was a handgun in such a situation The other party wasn't something that could be killed.

"Sigh... even the master isn't that great, huh Qiao, we still have to step in." My brother said gleefully.

I nodded and summoned the little ghost messenger. He trembled and leaned against the wall: "Little Madam... why do you always summon me... Such a fierce ghost, I'm afraid my Dao skills aren't enough..."

"What are you afraid of We've got each other's backs. You secure the entrance, let me take care of this. It's a good chance to test out this sword." My brother put the copper amulet in his mouth and went first.

I turned back to look at Lin Yanhuan: "Mr. Lin, don't move! Just be honest and stay put, don't come in and cause trouble!"

Lin Yan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, just about to call me, but I slammed the door shut on him—I don't have time to argue with him now.

He must think I'm the one holding him back and wants to protect me. What a joke.Wuzhu clan almost all practice Gu refinement, but we are not from the Wuzhu clan..." he explained in a low voice.I nodded. "If you're afraid, step back a bit. You don't know what's ahead, so don't jum...
