The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 29: Is the Missing Person Still Alive?

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Is the Missing Person Still Alive?

At 2 a.m., at Su Xiaotong’s home.

Qin Zhao suddenly opened her eyes, hearing some noises from outside the window.

"Woo woo..."

The wind outside was rather strong, intermixed with faint sobbing sounds.

Scratch, scratch.

It sounded like fingernails scraping against a wooden board.

But the entity was evidently not achieving its aim and, after much effort, was unable to enter Su Xiaotong’s room.

Woo woo woo...

The crying became more piteous, resembling the cries of a child waking up hungry in the middle of the night.

Click, the window opened.

The sobbing outside paused, and a pair of excited, green eyes emerged as a small dark figure squeezed into Su Xiaotong’s room but stopped upon seeing the Peach Wood Sword nearby.

With that pause, Qin Zhao grabbed it.

"Tsk, poor thing."

"Woo woo woo..."

The little thing in her hand cried out again.

This fellow was a young ghost, who had probably died at the age of three or four. But it was skin and bones, its body charred like burnt charcoal, and fresh blood continually seeped from the burnt wounds, giving it a rather frightening appearance.

"Woo woo..."

The little ghost looked at Qin Zhao, an expression of fear on its face.

Qin Zhao didn’t harm the little ghost but simply sealed it with a talisman. She wasn’t one to slaughter the innocent indiscriminately; she would show some mercy to souls that hadn’t committed evil.

Just as she finished dealing with the little ghost, a ringtone sounded in the room.

"Hello, Brother Meng."

Su Xiaotong had been woken up and picked up the phone groggily.

"Xiaotong, I... I think I just encountered something unclean!"

Wang Meng was currently hidden under his blankets, rolled up like a caterpillar as if that could protect him from ghosts, which made his voice a bit muffled.

Su Xiaotong was jolted awake. "What!"

She sat up in bed and, seeing the calm Qin Zhao, felt somewhat reassured.

"Brother Meng, are you okay?"

"I’m too scared to sleep. We must find a master to look into this tomorrow!"

"I have a master here. She will take care of the Disc Immortal matter tomorrow."

Qin Zhao gave Su Xiaotong a look, motioning her to hand over the phone.

Su Xiaotong passed the phone to Qin Zhao, who told Wang Meng, "She might come to find you later too. I’ll tell you a spell. Chant it a few times, and she won’t dare to come near you."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, master!"

Had Qin Zhao told Wang Meng the spell earlier, he would have probably scoffed at her.

But now, having experienced a supernatural incident himself, he clung to Qin Zhao as a lifeline.

Qin Zhao didn’t immediately tell him the spell but said instead, "The spell costs twenty thousand, and for settling the villa’s issues tomorrow, each of you should transfer another fifty thousand to me."

She turned to look at Su Xiaotong, "I never work for free, as you know, right? Considering our relationship, I’ve already given you a discount."

"Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you soon."

Su Xiaotong agreed readily. After all, the last time Qin Zhao resolved the matter at Dragon King Temple, she had charged the director five million. Now, this fifty thousand was practically a steal!

On the other end of the line, Wang Meng also quickly agreed, "No problem! Please tell me the spell now!"

Qin Zhao told Wang Meng a rather common exorcism spell and then hung up the phone.

Not long after hanging up, both Wang Meng and Su Xiaotong transferred the money to her.

-

The next day, Qin Zhao and Su Xiaotong were up early.

Su Xiaotong had contacted the other attendees of the gathering, and they all went to the villa.

Upon seeing Wang Meng, they noticed that he was extremely pale and had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"Brother Meng, did you have a rough night yesterday?"

Wang Meng waved his hand weakly and said, "I kept chanting the spell all night, and indeed, I didn’t encounter anything. But it was terrifying, and I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight either."

"Wang Meng, what happened to you yesterday?"

The others asked curiously, and Wang Meng recounted his experience from the day before.

After he finished, everyone’s expression changed.

"Could it really be the Disc Immortal?"

"Good thing I bought a Peach Wood Sword yesterday, otherwise it would have come for me too."

"We need to hurry to the villa and deal with this."

"Xiao Tong, can Qin Zhao really handle it?"

Suddenly, everyone’s gaze turned towards Qin Zhao.

"Don’t worry, actually the other party doesn’t mean to harm anyone."

Wang Meng said, still shaken, "But yesterday, I almost jumped off the building."

Before Qin Zhao could answer, someone suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Look over there, isn’t that Xu Yuanpeng’s car?"

Not far away was the villa where the gathering had taken place.

And Xu Yuanpeng’s car was parked nearby.

Su Xiaotong recalled carefully, "I don’t think I saw Xu Yuanpeng come out that day."

"Dang, he’s not still there, is he?"

"What is he doing there? He won’t answer his phone, could it be..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid.

Everyone looked towards the distant villa with a creeping sense of dread.

"Could Xu Yuanpeng be, dead?"

Someone whispered softly.

Yesterday, Wang Meng had encountered paranormal activity, and Xu Yuanpeng was the key person who had invited the Disc Immortal. It was very likely something bad had happened to him, which was why they couldn’t contact him!

"He’s fine."

Qin Zhao spoke, her cool voice dispelling the gloom in everyone’s minds.

"Let’s go in and check."

Qin Zhao led the way, and the rest dared to follow.

"Zhaozhao, you said yesterday that there is something wrong with this villa, where exactly is the problem?"

"Have any of you been to the backyard?"

"No, the person who rented the villa told us the backyard wasn’t managed, it’s all overgrown with weeds, full of mosquitoes and bugs, so we should stay away, and we never went there."

Once inside the villa, the others huddled together, warily surveying their surroundings.

Qin Zhao walked straight through the living room, opened the back door, and saw the backyard.

The backyard was indeed overgrown with weeds that reached thigh-high, and there was a willow tree in it, the branches swaying in the wind. Qin Zhao felt an extremely strong yin energy.

She narrowed her eyes and said playfully, "Someone has set up an Array here."

"Ah? What kind of Array?"

Qin Zhao didn’t answer their questions but walked into the weed-covered backyard.

"Listening to her, the backyard feels really ominous."

"I’m not going over, I’ll wait here for Qin Zhao."

"Me neither."

The others were terrified and huddled together in the living room.

Su Xiaotong looked at them and felt safer following Qin Zhao, so she chased after her.

"Zhaozhao, wait for me, I’ll come with you."

Qin Zhao walked through the waist-high weeds to the side of the willow tree and found a well there.

Because of the weeds, one couldn’t see the well from the back door of the living room.

The strangest part of the well was the large rock covering it, blocking the view inside, and a heavy chain was wrapped around the rock.

"This chain is interesting."

Qin Zhao covered her hand with Spiritual Power, attempting to break the chain.

But, she failed.

Not only that, but a golden talisman also appeared on the rock, dispelling Qin Zhao’s Spiritual Power.
