Chapter 486: 485, My Lord Phoenix is here! (First update)

Zhou Xunian’s arrival solved the pressing crisis for everyone.

Behind him followed quite a few men and women, all of whom were masters who could speak authoritatively in the Superpower World.

They had all volunteered to follow Zhou Xunian here.

"Xunian," the Mo family’s old madam looked at Zhou Xunian, very moved, "Thank you, and thank all of you."

The so-called phenomenon where people tend to kick a man when he is down; the Mo family’s old madam had not expected that at such a time, there would still be people who would step forward to advance or retreat together with the Mo family.

"Aunt Mo, you shouldn’t be so formal. Mo Zhixuan’s problems are our problems. Everyone agrees, right?" Zhou Xunian turned to look at the crowd.

"Right! Mo Zhixuan’s problems are our problems!" Everyone spoke in unison, their faces all showing firm expressions.

"Thank you, everyone." The Mo family’s old madam bowed to the crowd.

"Aunt Mo, please don’t do this." Someone nearby quickly supported her.

"Sister-in-law Jin, you’re here too? That’s really great!" Zhou Xunian only then noticed Chu Jin, unable to hide his excitement.

Zhou Xunian had a good impression of Chu Jin because firstly, Chu Jin was very good-looking, and as someone who had a thing for beauty, and secondly, because Mo Zhixuan genuinely liked Chu Jin very much.

Also, there was Chu Jin’s unique temperament, which made people feel very comfortable at first glance.

In summary, this was a woman who could match Mo Zhixuan.

Moreover, he had always felt that Chu Jin was the one who could lift the curse from Mo Zhixuan’s body.

Because Chu Jin was the second person after Zheng Chuyi who made Mo Zhixuan feel warmth.

Having Chu Jin there on the night of extreme Yin added an extra layer of security.

"Xunian." Chu Jin smiled slightly and greeted him.

"Let me introduce her to everyone, this is Mo Zhixuan’s fiancée, and soon to be our Sister-in-law Jin," Zhou Xunian cheerfully pulled Chu Jin to introduce her to the crowd.

"Nice to meet you, Sister-in-law Jin." The crowd spoke in unison, their voices loud and almost deafening.

Their presence was overwhelming.

Coming from the Superpower World, none were ordinary people. At this moment, they were testing Chu Jin in another way, to see whether she truly had the qualifications to be the wife of ’Number Nine’ and take that position among them.

If it were a normal girl now, she might be startled and lose her composure with such a sudden outburst.

But Chu Jin just stood there, her posture casual, yet exuding an innate grandeur, neither arrogant nor impatient.

"Nice to meet all of you." Chu Jin grinned, her voice not loud but clearly reaching everyone’s ears, as her personal aura effectively subdued the group’s aura.

"Hey, what’s your name?" A young girl who appeared rather youthful stepped forward, her tone somewhat unfriendly though she was quite beautiful—a blooming beauty.

Chu Jin looked at her and simply said two words, "Chu Jin."

"What a common name," the girl said with a trace of disdain in her eyes, then continued, "Chu Jin... so, is Chu from sister Chuyi’s Chu?"

The young girl was not old but asked a very sharp question. Luckily, it was Chu Jin standing there today. Had it been anyone else, they might not have been able to keep their footing.

Clearly, here was another die-hard fan of Zheng Chuyi.

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and replied in an even tone, "Chu from the Chu River and Han Border, Jin from magnificent mountains and rivers." Her voice was light and gentle, like the sun after rain, able to warm people’s hearts.

"Hey, do you know who sister Chuyi is?" The girl spoke again, her bright apricot eyes staring at Chu Jin as if trying to burn a hole through her.

"Xianxian, stop messing around!" Zhou Xunian immediately interrupted Mu Xianxian, lowering his voice, "Apologize to Sister-in-law Jin right now!"

Mu Xianxian snorted coldly, turning her head with haughty defiance, "You admit that she is your ninth sister-in-law, but I certainly don’t. In my heart, no one but Chuyi can be my ninth sister-in-law. If you think I’ll call her ninth sister-in-law, that’s just not happening—no way, not even through a window!"

In her heart, Zheng Chuyi was the most beautiful.

Expected to call someone else ninth sister-in-law? Is that even possible?

Though this Chu Jin looked okay, seeing how young she was and yet willing to marry the cursed Ninth Brother, it was clear she was after his power and wealth. A woman who would throw away her life for fame and fortune didn’t deserve to be her ninth sister-in-law at all.

"Ninth sister-in-law, don’t be angry, Xianxian is young and doesn’t understand," Zhou Xunian said apologetically to Chu Jin.

Hearing this, Mu Xianxian immediately countered, "Zhou Xunian, you little bootlicker!"

Mu Xianxian had never been afraid of anyone as she grew up. Known as the little tyrant of the Superpower World, she wasn’t really bad at heart, just naive and inexperienced. She always wore her emotions on her sleeve, speaking her mind without beating around the bush.

Zhou Xunian’s face darkened, "Mu Xianxian, if you say one more word, do you believe I will send you back to the Superpower World right now!"

"Fine, I won’t say it!" Mu Xianxian pouted discontentedly, "What’s so great about that!" After all, she’d find an opportunity to properly ’educate’ this delusional woman who wanted to be her ninth sister-in-law.

Chu Jin watched Mu Xianxian, a faint smile curving at her lips. This little girl was quite interesting. With a bit of polishing and the right guidance, she certainly wouldn’t be ordinary in the future.

"Where is this master’s 40-meter broadsword?" Zi in the Purple Lightning Space suddenly went full drama queen, "Watch me chop this melon-headed kid to pieces..."

"Ninth sister-in-law, I’m really sorry, ha, about Xianxian..." Zhou Xunian awkwardly scratched his head, wishing he had never brought the troublesome Mu Xianxian with him.

"It’s okay," Chu Jin smiled lightly, "children will speak their mind." She truly didn’t take Mu Xianxian’s words to heart; after all, who didn’t have a hot-blooded youth?

Mu Xianxian threw a super exaggerated eye roll at Chu Jin, declaring her dissatisfaction without words.

Meanwhile, Zi in the Purple Lightning Space made a face at her. It was a wonder this melon-headed kid had lived till today.

How come she hadn’t been beaten to death on the streets?

Could it be that no one carried a 40-meter long broadsword with them?

It was about time.

Suddenly, the sky outside the house darkened.

It was as if a black cloth had been thrown over the surroundings, silently bringing a chill to the air.

A wild wind arose.

Whoo—

Hooo—

It sounded like the wailing of evil spirits, exceedingly mournful.

The wind was so fierce, it caused the windows to rattle violently.

Everyone promptly became alert.

"Don’t panic, everyone. According to the 10 Heavenly Stems, there are 5 Yin ones: Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin, Gui. The time isn’t right yet, this is just those evil spirits trying to show off," Qin Qingchen flicked her dust whisk and spoke softly with a calm expression.

But inside, she was somewhat astonished.

If these evil spirits dared to make trouble now, before the time had come, what would happen when the Ghost Qi was at its strongest...

"Master Qin, what should we do now?" Tong Zhi asked.

Qin Qingchen pursed her lips and didn’t respond. Before there had been any sign in the sky, she was somewhat confident, but now it was apparent she had underestimated the danger of this extremely Yin night.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense.

No one spoke. Chu Jin glanced outside the window, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. Then, with a subtle movement of her fingers, a deck of Tarot cards immediately appeared in her palm.

Her expression cold, she tossed the Tarot cards into the air, and everyone’s gaze was drawn to her sudden action.

The cards thrown into the air did not scatter messily but, as if endowed with life, neatly and orderly formed a card array in midair.

Mu Xianxian scoffed in dissatisfaction, "Bluffing! All bark and no bite, it’s just a deck of paper cards. Who doesn’t know how to do that? Just showing off for attention!"

Suddenly!

With a snap.

The crystal lights exploded suddenly, and the room plunged into darkness.

Darkness can bring endless fear.

Wraiths and ghostly shadows, borrowing the sinister Ghost Qi, wandered among the people, but since the time had not yet come, they could not cause any real harm—merely psychological panic.

"Big Brother Zhou! Save me!" Mu Xianxian, frightened, jumped onto Zhou Xunian, her legs tightly winding around his waist like an octopus.

Mo Qingyi also shrank her neck, subconsciously burying her head into Duanmu Zhe’s chest.

Suddenly, in the darkness, there was a series of ’crackle and pop’ noises.

Then came screams, and wails of agony.

Bang bang bang—

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light flashed in the room, and everyone looked towards the source of the light and sound. They saw the girl who had been standing there now commanding the Tarot cards, stabbing at those ghostly shadows, her clear and agile form seemingly merging with the darkness.

Each Tarot card transformed into sharp daggers!

All around were screams.

It sent shivers down one’s spine.

Seeing Chu Jin had made her move, Qin Qingchen immediately felt assured, holding his whisk, and swinging it around, "My lord, Phoenix is here, all you lonely souls and wild ghosts better retreat quickly!"

No sooner had he finished speaking, the screams around them disappeared instantly, and the room was once again bright.

The hearts of the people settled slightly.

Mu Xianxian jumped down from Zhou Xunian, and said with curiosity, "Whoa! Who is this Phoenix? So awesome, just the name alone scared these little ghosts like that?"

Chu Jin casually snatched a Tarot card from the air.

It was—

The Hanged Man!

In a certain sense, The Hanged Man is a card without vitality, representing disappointment, despair, sacrifice, death...

But if you look at it from another angle, adversity is where one seeks life.

There must be death for rebirth, drawing The Hanged Man in such a situation is not necessarily a bad thing.

At the same time, The Hanged Man corresponds to the three concentric circles in the Wheel of Fortune.

Chu Jin’s brows slightly furrowed as she came to a conclusion. Her red lips parted lightly, "Master Qin."

"Present." Qin Qingchen’s face was full of respect.

Chu Jin gave her orders methodically, "Please, set up the Qian Kun Formation immediately in the southeast corner of the courtyard, using the vitality of all things as the Array Eye. Bring those whose zodiac signs are the snake, horse, monkey, and rooster to guard the formation’s base. The Door of Life, remember, you must guard the Door of Life and the formation’s base tightly, not even allowing a fly to get in."

"Good, my lord, rest assured, I will definitely complete the task," Qin Qingchen nodded, "Those born in the year of the Snake, Horse, Monkey, and Rooster, please follow me this way."

A group of people followed Qin Qingchen outside.

Mu Xianxian was stunned; this Chu Jin seemed to be quite extraordinary.

My lord.

Could it be that Qin Qingchen had become muddleheaded? To actually address a mortal as "my lord"?

"Xunian," Chu Jin then turned her gaze toward Zhou Xunian, tossing the Tarot cards in her hand to him, "This is the Septagram Array. Take seven people with the elemental property of water to the direction of the main gate and stand in the formation of the Sepstar. Put forth all your effort and ensure that the main gate is well-defended!"

"Sure thing, Ninth Sister-in-law. Leave this task to me," Zhou Xuanian quickly selected seven people from the crowd and rushed outside.

"Brother Zhou, wait for me," Mu Xianxian hurriedly followed, but internally she was curious why these people were so obedient to a woman’s words!

Zhou Xunian, this bumpkin, was one thing, but even Qin Qingchen treated her words as if they were a holy decree.

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left inside the room.

At this moment, Chu Jin was like a born commander, fearless in the face of danger, radiating a soft light that was dazzling to the eye.

The Mo family matriarch watched her and knew that Mo Zhixuan had not chosen the wrong wife.

This person was a natural born leader.

An eye-catching existence.

"Jin, do you need any help from me?" Tong Zhi stepped forward and asked.

"Aunt Tong, you have a Five-Colored Phoenix Fan—the Vermilion Bird is associated with fire. Please take Duanmu to guard the northwest direction."

Having spent so long with them, Chu Jin naturally knew that this Duanmu was no ordinary person.

"Alright," Tong Zhi nodded, "Duanmu, follow me."

With a grave expression, Duanmu Zhe followed Tong Zhi away.

"Master Chu, do you think there’s anything I can help with?" Mo Fengxu approached, and he was still more accustomed to calling Chu Jin "Master Chu."

Chu Jin glanced at him and then said, "I’ll trouble you to fetch some Hellfire and use it to light a candle, using Mo Zhixuan’s birth characters as the wick. Light an Everbright lamp and make sure it doesn’t go out before dawn tomorrow."

"Sure, you can count on me. I’ll go right now," Mo Fengxu nodded solemnly and started toward the door.

Mo Feixue stepped forward to follow, "Uncle, I’ll go with you. An extra person means extra strength." She was not willing to comply with a mortal’s arrangement; she would rather follow Mo Fengxu.

This feeling was too unpleasant: a group of people from the Superpower World obediently following a mortal’s commands. If word of this got out, would the Superpower World still have any dignity left?

The commander today should have been her, Mo Feixue, but unfortunately, regarding the matters of the Night of Extreme Yin, she couldn’t offer any help at all.

"Jin, what about me? Can I be of any help?" the Mo family matriarch asked.

"Aunt, please take Xiao Bai and guard the back door."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai immediately jumped onto the Mo family matriarch’s shoulder, speaking in human language, "Brother Jin, mission acknowledged!"

"Brother Jin, Brother Jin, what about me? Where should I go to help?" Mo Qingyi looked up at Chu Jin with anticipation.

Chu Jin pulled out a shining Crystal Ball from her pocket and stuffed it into Mo Qingyi’s hand, asking, "Do you know where your brother is?"

Mo Qingyi nodded, "I know."

Chu Jin looked at her, "Then your task now is to take me to him!"
