Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Rolling Back

Wu Tiangang turned his head to glance at Lu Jinyuan and smiled, "That’s a joke, brother. In front of Master Chen, how could I dare to call myself a master? I’m just a follower by Master Chen’s side."

"Follo... follower?" Lu Jinyuan swallowed hard, his face showing utter shock.

He looked at Chen Fan, who was smiling back at him.

A burning sensation climbed up his cheeks, and Lu Jinyuan just wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with his foot to crawl into and never come out again.

"Chen Fan... no no, Master Chen, what I just said..." Lu Jinyuan almost cried with regret.

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Alright, let’s go inside."

The group headed toward Yunwu Villas and walked in.

Seeing that Chen Fan was not angry, Lu Jinyuan let out a long sigh of relief, "This is the real big leg to hold on to, I must cling tightly to it in the future!"

Because Chen Fan was coming today, Lu Jinyuan had asked the person in charge here to turn on the streetlights of the community in advance.

The nightscape here used to be exquisitely beautiful, but due to long-term neglect, it had become quite desolate.

"Master Wu, can you see any problems with this community?" Chen Fan asked.

Wu Tiangang immediately started observing the surroundings with his compass, and after a while, he came back to Chen Fan, "Master Chen, this place has support in the front and the back, with mountains facing it and water systems surrounding it, a rare treasure land. However, I don’t know why, but the feng shui pattern here has been disrupted, and I suspect something Yin Evil has mixed in."

"Can you determine where that Yin Evil entity is?" Chen Fan asked.

Wu Tiangang shook his head, "For now, I can only guess roughly. However, my compass reacts to the northwest direction, which corresponds to the hillside."

Chen Fan nodded, "Let’s go, take a look at the hillside."

The group made their way to the mid-hill.

Thanks to the Hillside Villa, the road leading up the hill was well maintained, but on either side of the road were woods, much creepier than the community below.

Lu Jinyuan, looking terrified, grabbed two bodyguards on his left and right and walked forward.

Wu Tiangang surveyed again, then turned to Chen Fan and said, "Master Chen, my compass is showing the strongest reaction here, the problem must be in this area."

Chen Fan nodded; he had already used his Heavenly Eye to survey the surroundings and noticed that the forest ahead had the thickest aura of malevolence.

"Did you... did you just hear a woman crying?" Lu Jinyuan’s teeth chattered, his complexion pale.

Chen Fan turned to look at him, "I didn’t hear anything, did you hear wrong?"

Lu Jinyuan was certain, "Impossible, my bodyguards heard it too."

Chen Fan was puzzled, "Could it be that only those with unsteady will can hear it?"

Just then, Lu Jinyuan suddenly pointed behind Chen Fan, his expression horrified, "Ghost! There’s a ghost!"

As he spoke, all the streetlights around them went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Gusts of Yin wind blew past, and the sounds of a woman’s crying, faint yet distinct, echoed in everyone’s ears.

Chen Fan’s Heavenly Eye could see through the darkness; he turned to look behind and indeed saw a female ghost dressed in red with long hair covering her face, revealing only one pitch-black eyeball, floating towards them.

"Where are your flashlights! Take them out, damn it!" Lu Jinyuan yelled at the top of his lungs.

As soon as the flashlights came on, the group saw the female ghost had already reached them.

Lu Jinyuan and all the bodyguards, terrified out of their wits, collapsed onto the ground.

"Anyone who trespasses on my territory must die!" the female ghost snarled, her face a ghastly green with fangs bared, her voice piercing.

Wu Tiangang’s face also changed, "Yin Evil, it’s Yin Evil! Master Chen, save me!"

Chen Fan’s gaze sharpened as he activated the Void Body Refining Skills, his body radiating a brilliant light.

The female ghost instantly emitted a smoke as if scorched, letting out a miserable scream, and hastily avoided Chen Fan.

"Huh? I haven’t made a move yet, what’s wrong with her?" Chen Fan was confused, but he didn’t have time to ponder, and quickly used a Divine Skill he had learned not long ago.

Soul Extinguishing Skills!

A beam of pure light enveloped the female ghost, rapidly eroding the evil aura surrounding her.

The female ghost screamed repeatedly, using all her might to resist, but still couldn’t withstand the Soul Extinguishing Skills’ depletion, and soon she was at death’s door.

Chen Fan’s Soul Extinguishing Skills also reached its limit, and the instant he ceased casting the spell, the female ghost frantically fled toward the distant woods.

"Come back here!" Chen Fan bellowed.

His voice contained the Might of the Imperial Decree Divine Skills.

The so-called Imperial Decree was an order from an emperor, capable of commanding even the forces of heaven and earth to obey Chen Fan, let alone a gravely injured female ghost.

"That female ghost has been seriously injured, and is only concerned with fleeing for her life. Although Master Chen is anxious, he demands the female ghost to come back herself, but how could this female ghost possibly listen to Master Chen’s command," thought Wu Tiangang to himself.

However, the next second, everyone watched as the female ghost rolled back on the ground towards them.

"This..." Wu Tiangang fell silent.

Lu Jinyuan and the bodyguards were dumbfounded.

Even Chen Fan stumbled, as he hadn’t expected that when he ordered the female ghost to roll back, she would actually "roll" back.

"Cough cough." Chen Fan adjusted his expression and walked over to the female ghost.

The female ghost got up from the ground, looking at Chen Fan with a pleading gaze, "Celestial Master, spare my life!"

By now, her face no longer looked ferocious and terrifying but instead turned into a pretty face, albeit as pale as paper, resembling not a living person.

The closer Chen Fan got to her, the more pained her expression became.

"I’ve already stopped using the Soul Extinguishing Skills, so why do you still look so pained?" Chen Fan asked curiously.

The female ghost answered, "Celestial Master carries a tremendously strong and righteous energy. To me, it’s like the sun. The closer you are, the more I feel like my soul is about to scatter."

"Oh? Could it be a problem with my constitution?" Chen Fan mused as he took a couple of steps back, then asked the female ghost, "Why are you harming people here?"

The female ghost looked wronged, "Celestial Master, you’re mistaken! Although I have become a Lonely Wandering Ghost, I’ve never harmed anyone. The attack just now was only meant to scare you away and find some peace."

"You’re lying! Five people have died in this residential area, are you saying you’re not responsible?" Lu Jinyuan shivered as he clung to Chen Fan from behind.

The female ghost covered her face and burst into tears, "The deaths of those five people have really nothing to do with me. They were killed by the Yin Evil gathered by the Heavenly Evil Formation in the woods. To tell the truth, I’m also a victim, wuu wuu wuu..."

Chen Fan frowned at the female ghost, "What do you mean by that?"

The female ghost explained mournfully, "Three years ago, the eldest son of the Zhao family tried to take advantage of me. When he couldn’t succeed, he insulted my parents. Driven into a corner, I jumped from a building to protect my dignity with death, but unexpectedly, he hired a master to secretly remove my body from the morgue, quietly buried it halfway up the hill in Yunwu Villas, and set up the Heavenly Evil Formation. This prevented me from reincarnating and trapped me forever in these woods without a glimpse of daylight."

After hearing her story, flames of rage burned in Chen Fan’s eyes, "It’s that beast Zhao Cheng again!"
