Chapter 24: Ghost

"How is it? Mr. Li. Can you trace the ghost?" Li Yuanbiao asked hurriedly.

Although he was anxious, his behavior was respectful. Because the old man's status was not ordinary, he was equal to him. When he encountered demons and ghosts, he even had to rely on him.

"No! The ghost seems to have fled far away, leaving no trace at all, and it is impossible to track it." Mr. Li shook his head with a solemn expression.

Everyone immediately showed disappointment. If there was such a powerful ghost hiding in the dark, I'm afraid no one would sleep well.

Then, Mr. Li said: "However, I have roughly judged the origin of this resentful ghost."

"Oh? Mr. Li, tell me quickly." Li Yuanbiao's eyes lit up and said anxiously.

"City guard, please look at the facial expressions of the dead." Mr. Li pointed to the bodies in the pond, "These dead have an inexplicable look of sorrow on their faces."

Everyone looked and found that the bodies with faces that could be seen were all full of sorrow.

"What does this mean?"

Meng Dewen, the head of the Meng family, asked anxiously. His face was dark and gloomy, and his expression was much uglier than that of others, because the Jin family was a subsidiary of the Meng family, and it was one of the strongest affiliated forces under his command. The extermination of the Jin family caused the greatest loss to his Meng family.

"Draining blood, the dead looked sad, and it was related to water, which reminded me of a ghost."

Old Li looked solemn, staring at the pond carefully, as if recalling something.

"Blood leech ghost."

"Blood leech ghost?" Everyone exclaimed, obviously knowing how terrible this ghost was.

The strength of the blood leech ghost was equivalent to the late stage of the inner energy realm. On the surface, everyone was not afraid of it when they joined forces, but once this ghost appeared, countless ghost leeches would burst out, and they could suck human blood in an instant.

Moreover, ghost leeches can absorb inner energy, and their resistance to inner energy is extremely high. Even if an inner energy realm warrior encounters it, it will not last long, and will be sucked out of inner energy and blood and die.

It can be said that this blood leech ghost is invincible against an inner energy realm warrior one-on-one. Except for some talented people who have practiced special skills, they can deal with it.

So everyone is afraid.

"Are you sure, Mr. Li?" Li Yuanbiao asked with a grim face.

"Nearly 100%." ​​Mr. Li replied solemnly. Even if he is good at dealing with ghosts, he is not sure that he can face this ghost alone.

"Then please purify the Yin Qi here first." Li Yuanbiao said.

"Of course." Mr. Li reached out and took out a yellow talisman paper, on which were drawn twisted and mysterious blood-red symbols, which looked very mysterious.

Taking out this talisman paper, Mr. Li showed a trace of pain on his face, obviously this talisman paper was worth a lot. Then, his internal energy surged in his hand, and he threw the yellow talisman paper into the pond.

Bang~~~

A fierce flame rose from the pond, and the raging flames enveloped the entire pond. The blood and corpses were turned into fuel and burned with a sizzling sound.

Strangely enough, such a fierce flame did not emit much heat, but instead a cold breath spread around, but it did not spread far and melted away in the bright sunlight. After walking out for only a dozen meters, the coldness could no longer be felt, only a cool breeze blowing on the face.

When Li Lao took out the talisman paper to burn the pond, everyone present looked at the pond vigilantly as if they were facing a great enemy, as if they were on guard against something.

After a while, the flames in the pond slowly extinguished, and the pond turned into a pool of clear water again. The blood and corpses before all disappeared, as if the previous tragedy was just an illusion. However, the empty Jin Mansion explained all the cruelty.

The cold breath emanating from the pond also dissipated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and lifted their guard.

"Everyone, the time has come for the life and death of my Qingshan City. This time the ghost is very powerful. If it is allowed to cause trouble everywhere, once it absorbs too much blood food, its strength will also change. By then, the whole city will be destroyed and no one can escape."

Li Yuanbiao said with a gloomy face.

"The city guard has something to say." An elder from the Wang family interrupted impatiently.

"I will report this to the prefecture as soon as possible, but it will take more than half a month for the prefecture to send experts to support us."

Li Yuanbiao was not angry, and replied calmly: "During this period of time, I mean that each family will select experts to form a patrol team to patrol the city day and night. Once the ghost appears again, we will immediately give an alarm, and then we will do our best to kill it."

"This is easy to say, how to arrange it?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. After all, it involves the safety of everyone, and no one will be dragged down and left alone at this time.

"That's good. This blood leech ghost can only be dealt with by those with a cultivation level above the Body Refining Marrow Stage. It will be useless if the cultivation level is lower. So, each of your four families will send one master in the Internal Qi Realm and two masters in the Body Refining Marrow Stage, and each of the second-rate families will send one master in the Body Refining Marrow Stage. They will form teams and be responsible for patrolling the entire city. Other families will provide sufficient resource support. What do you think?" Li Yuanbiao allocated.

"What about your government?" asked the elder of the Wang family.

"All of us in the government, led by me and Mr. Li, are on standby at the yamen at any time. Once there is an alarm, we will immediately go to support." Li Yuanbiao said solemnly.

"In this case, my Wang family agrees." The elder of the Wang family had nothing to say and had to agree.

The other three families also agreed. A decision concerning the whole city was decided by the government and the four major families. Other small forces had no decision-making power at all.

"Then everyone should go back and arrange the family now. It will start tonight. Master Yu, how about you take charge of tonight?" Li Yuanbiao announced, looking at Yu Renlong and asked.

"Okay." Yu Renlong nodded in agreement and turned to leave first. The others also gradually dispersed.

"Mother, did something happen?"

Yu Guihai said to his mother with a serious face.

Just now, his mother Zhao Yun suddenly came and said that she would move to live next door to him. Thinking of his father Yu Renlong's hurried departure in the morning and the sudden appearance of the guards of the Yu Mansion as if they were facing a great enemy, he immediately guessed something in his heart.

"No, alas!"

Zhao Yun was about to deny it, but when she saw her son's serious expression, she changed her mind, sighed lightly, and said: "The city is haunted!"

"Haunted?"

Yu Guihai looked surprised. He had heard about the ghosts in this world for a long time, but it was the first time he heard a ghost nearby at such a close distance since he came through.

"Yes, more than a hundred people from the Jin family in the city died tragically overnight. According to the government's talisman master, it was caused by a powerful vengeful ghost, which is likely still hiding in the city. Your father responded to the government's call, and we at home need to be vigilant at all times." Zhao Yun said solemnly.
