Chapter 46 (1/2)

A shrill noise sounded and a dark shadow emerged from the depths of the hall, rushing straight towards Chen Hao.

Meow!

A pitiful cry was heard and the black cat seemed to have been greatly frightened. Curling up, its chubby body appeared to even be shivering.

Chen Hao was rather shocked.

What happened? Did this little fellow startle the evil spirit? Oh no, bringing it along had led to even more trouble. Was it too late to abandon it now?

“What a cat demon!”

Master Long stopped in his tracks and glared fiercely at the black cat… and Chen Hao.

With an innocent look on his face, Chen Hao thought that this really had nothing to do with him. D*mn, was he going to die a wrongful death?

“Master… Master Long, what do we do now? You can’t just do nothing now.” Xue Chuang was flustered and rushed forward to grab Master Long as though he was clutching onto him for dear life.

“Let me go.” Master Long was exasperated.

“Master!”

“How do I resolve it when you’re holding onto me? Let me go!” Master Long yelled.

Xue Chuang finally let go and looked at Master Long nervously.

This was their last hope. Even if Master Long took no actions, the evil spirit which had already been startled would escape from the ancient grave and terrorize Stone City. Even if they were to leave this place safely, Shuanglong Group wouldn’t be able to shoulder the responsibility.

Master Long tidied his clothes and glared once more at Chen Hao. He then took out an item from his bag that looked like an ink fountain thread wheel from the ancient times.

“Master Chen, do you know how to subdue it with this?”

Embarrassed, Chen Hao answered, “No.”

Master Long was rendered speechless.

Why was he even here if he didn’t know anything? Was it that simple to scam a big corporation of their money?

“Stay here to protect everyone. Don’t run away.”

He had completely lost faith in Chen Hao. After relaying a general instruction, Master Chen took out a bottle of red liquid and poured it into the ink fountain thread wheel. He then prepared for the battle.

Focusing on three pillars, he twined the ink thread around them five times, forming a web.

Master Long then secured the threads before retrieving a peach wood sword and a stack of talismans from his bag. He focused and stayed alert as he observed his surroundings.

“Master Long, is this sufficient?” Xue Chuang asked worriedly.

Master Long glared at him and asked, “What else do you expect? Do you want me to fight head-on with a dragon?”

Xue Chuang felt rather embarrassed. “That’s not what I meant. I…”

“Shut up. This is a spawn of dragons that protects its den, and they are spirits that exist alongside the Dragon’s Den. Because it has been unexpectedly consumed by its den, the dragon has turned evil. It should not exist. All the masters typically refuse to acknowledge that they exist. I have no confidence in handling it too. All of you should be prepared to die,” Master Long explained solemnly.

Xue Chuang didn’t dare to speak anymore. His legs were completely wobbling in fear.

Bai Ru’s heart was also thumping. Approaching Chen Hao quietly, she asked in a hushed voice, “Master Chen, is this deity figurine of any use now?”

Chen Hao was speechless.

At this critical point in time, how could this woman still care about winning her own battle?

Ha, indeed. Her personality had clearly been exposed during this period of calamity. He should never associate with this woman at all.

Although he marked Bai Ru in his heart, Chen Hao still glanced at the figurine of Guan Yu.
