Chapter 895: Chapter 895: Ghost Entrusting a Dream

Now, Huang Xiaolong saw that, upon exiting the highway and entering Fozhou City, the place had seemingly become a misty graveyard where all sorts of fierce ghosts were flocking to Fozhou City as if attending a fair. He even saw several paper vehicles made in perfect imitation of real ones, speeding toward the city.

These paper vehicles, the same size as real ones, were crafted out of brightly colored paper. Looking through the windows, one could see that the drivers were all ghosts with ferocious faces and splattered with ghostly blood.

“Oh for heaven’s sake…” Huang Xiaolong was somewhat speechless.

He hadn’t expected that the fierce ghosts heeding the call to attend a meeting in Shanghai would be so numerous! Fozhou City was a necessary stop on the land route to Shanghai, making it a heavily affected area as well.

In the car, Qingqing, being a demon, could see those ghostly beings (even animals like cats and dogs with spiritual awareness can see ghosts, so naturally it was the same for Qingqing the snake demon).

“I see them! Master! I see them!” Qingqing exclaimed, “So many ghosts… Master, let’s go exterminate them right away!”

Huang Xiaolong tapped on Feng Hanyan’s forehead, allowing her to witness the scene unfolding before them, and she gasped in shock.

Huang Xiaolong sneered, slowing down the car and deliberately driving towards the line of ghosts marching into Fozhou City.

He rolled down the window.

One after another, the ghosts turned their wretched gazes towards Huang Xiaolong, their eyes brimming with greed. They began whispering among themselves—

“Huh? One man, two women, three living people… tsk tsk, seems like these three can see us?”

“Wow~~ Their scent is so delicious, I really want to eat them…”

“How about we just eat these three right now, after all, starting now, we have nothing to fear…”

“Yeah, once we’re in Shanghai and the meeting is over, we can take over the world of the living! All the living people will be our food…”

…

Bang~~~!

A loud noise.

A headless ghost in red climbed directly onto the hood of Huang Xiaolong’s car, its ghostly blood covering the vehicle as it moaned eerily, “Have you seen my head? Can you help me find my head, it’s missing… wuwuwu~~~”

“You’re heading to Shanghai, aren’t you?” Huang Xiaolong sneered and shook his head. “Well, then… all of you can die!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Huang Xiaolong threw out a talisman.

Boom~~~~!

The talisman exploded into strings of golden light, blasting apart like a bomb.

All the nearby ghosts and spirits were swept up by the golden light and instantly turned to ash.

“If you had stayed in your own territories without crossing my path, I wouldn’t have bothered with you. But you dared to brazenly enter the city and even plan to attend a meeting in Shanghai? Then don’t blame me for being ruthless.” After dispatching the nearby ghosts at the highway entrance, Huang Xiaolong pressed the gas pedal, and the car raced towards the city center.

After entering the downtown area of Fozhou City, they found a five-star hotel, parked the car, and then, Huang Xiaolong, along with Qingqing and Feng Hanyan, began to stroll around the city.

The city center appeared bustling with life on the surface, with orderly streets and throngs of pedestrians coming and going.

But in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, everything was utterly chaotic!

Quite a few paper vehicles shuffled through the city, and occasionally ghosts hailed them and got on board.

Even some of the living with weak life-force saw the paper vehicles, mistook them for taxis, and got on them too. These people were surely doomed to never return.

As for the ghosts, they were plentiful in the streets as well.

One could say that there were all sorts of ghosts, those burned to death, scalded to death, drowned, killed in car accidents, hanged, poisoned, flayed…

All kinds of shapes and forms, it was not a night parade of a hundred ghosts but rather a typical day parade of a hundred ghosts! No, a day parade of a thousand ghosts!

Fozhou City had evidently become a ‘gatherer of yin’, a ‘city of ghosts’.

Qingqing and Feng Hanyan were both dumbstruck.

Qingqing muttered, “Young Master, with so many ghosts, how can we kill them all?”

Huang Xiaolong observed for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly. “These ghosts currently are not yet wreaking havoc on a large scale, they are all restraining themselves. I believe there must be a very powerful ghost in Fozhou City, deterring the others, which is why all the fierce ghosts that have flocked to Fozhou City are throwing a rat, not daring to act rashly… I need to find this big ghost first. This is called capturing the king first to capture the thieves.”

After a pause, Huang Xiaolong said with a smile, “Temporarily, there shouldn’t be too much trouble. Let’s finish our meal first.”

Actually, by the time they arrived in the downtown area of Fozhou City, it was already afternoon. After Huang Xiaolong, Qingqing, and Feng Hanyan had finished eating, the night began to fall.

Fozhou City was slowly consumed by darkness, and between heaven and earth, the yin energy was incredibly vigorous.

In the air, greed and evil were breeding.

Countless ghostly faces thrived under the cover of night, like fish in water.

Huang Xiaolong led Qingqing and Feng Hanyan back to the hotel.

However, as he entered the hotel, Huang Xiaolong narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the hotel carefully.

“Little Long, is there something wrong with this hotel?” Feng Hanyan asked with a frown.

“Let’s go into the hotel first,” Huang Xiaolong did not point it out directly, but an expression of contemplation surfaced in his eyes.

The hotel lobby.

A few receptionists were dozing off.

It wasn’t even past midnight, and they already looked exhausted.

A female ghost sat in a corner sofa of the lobby, applying makeup while weeping mournfully, a heartrending sound that brought sorrow to those who heard it.

Huang Xiaolong glowered at the ghost.

The female ghost shivered, looked at Huang Xiaolong, and, filled with fear, swiftly fled.

It was just a harmless stray ghost, Huang Xiaolong couldn’t be bothered to exterminate it…

Huang Xiaolong approached the front desk, tossing several talismans onto the counter. “Burn the talismans and drink the ashes with water. Otherwise, you won’t survive three days.”

“Eh?” The receptionists all looked at Huang Xiaolong in astonishment.

“You are entwined with a heavy resentment. If you don’t believe it, you can look in the mirror,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile, then took Qingqing and Feng Hanyan to the elevator and went upstairs.

“Young Master, those people have green complexions, are enveloped in ghostly air, their eye sockets are sunken, and their cheekbones protruding. They look neither human nor ghostly and likely won’t live much longer,” Qingqing commented on the side.

“This hotel has a problem,” Huang Xiaolong smiled. “Perhaps, what I’m looking for is in this hotel.”

Feng Hanyan immediately exclaimed in horror, “Little Long, are you saying… the great ghost that’s deterring Fozhou City is… is hiding in this hotel?”

The so-called strategy of capturing the king first meant Huang Xiaolong’s plan was to capture the strongest fierce ghost in Fozhou City. If they were to exorcise ghosts all over the streets, it would be too time-consuming. Moreover, with thousands of souls and ghosts already mingling among the people, this could easily cause harm to innocent individuals.

“That’s possible,” Huang Xiaolong said succinctly.

A suite.

Huang Xiaolong, Qingqing, Feng Hanyan, lived together.

“I’m a bit sleepy, I’m going to take a quick nap. Little Long, Qingqing, if you go ghost hunting later, make sure to wake me up, I can help,” Feng Hanyan couldn’t help but yawn. Then she lay down on the couch with her clothes on and fell asleep.

Perhaps it was because the yin energy in Fozhou City was too dense, affecting Feng Hanyan’s state, or perhaps it was because the hotel itself indeed had issues, so Feng Hanyan, despite being a great martial arts grandmaster, actually felt sleepy and couldn’t resist dozing off.

“Hmm?” Huang Xiaolong watched Feng Hanyan, who had fallen asleep as soon as she lay down, and murmured thoughtfully, “Oh… has that guy started to make trouble?”

“Hehe~~ Young Master, Miss Hanyan is so funny, she’s a grandmaster in ancient martial arts, which already makes her a formidable person among humans, yet she falls asleep as soon as she gets to the hotel… I don’t want to sleep. When will we go ghost hunting, Young Master?” Qingqing said, full of interest.

“No rush,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

So, Huang Xiaolong found a chair to sit and watched Feng Hanyan, who looked like a sleeping beauty, with a partly smiling, partly serious gaze.

Qingqing flashed a look and giggled. “Young Master, are you harboring designs on Miss Hanyan?”

“She’ll wake up soon,” Huang Xiaolong said with a light smile. “Besides, do I need to harbor designs on her?”

What Huang Xiaolong meant was—wasn’t this like a freely offered meal!

Feng Hanyan had fallen asleep. She didn’t know why she felt so sleepy as soon as she entered the room.

In a groggy state, she suddenly opened her eyes, rubbed them, and looked around. She saw neither Huang Xiaolong nor Qingqing.

“You’ve got to be kidding me? They went ghost hunting without waking me up? That’s really disloyal,” Feng Hanyan complained.

Just at that moment…

“I… I died so miserably… I died so miserably~~~” A husky female voice echoed.

“Who’s there?!” Feng Hanyan’s spirit tensed, but she found that her entire cultivation had vanished out of the blue! The True Qi in her dantian also seemed to be completely gone!

Not only that, her whole body was weak and limp, without a hint of strength!

A naked young woman (female ghost) crawled into the living room; her body was covered with wounds as if she had been tortured to death. Blood was splashed all over the floor, and her eyes were bleeding as she crawled while looking at Feng Hanyan and sobbing.

“Ghost! You… you’re a ghost! Don’t come any closer!” Feng Hanyan cried out helplessly. She had no ability to defend herself at this moment, as if caught in a nightmare. How much she wished Huang Xiaolong was by her side at this moment! But that deep sense of isolation gripped her, causing her to feel immense fear toward the female ghost before her, just like any ordinary girl would.

“Don’t be scared… Don’t be afraid~~ I’m not going to harm you… I’m also a victim…” The female ghost sobbed as she spoke. “Sister, I won’t harm you… truly, believe me, I’m not an evil spirit, I’m just a ghost who died unjustly… I’ve never harmed anyone…”

“Then… then why did you come to me?” After thinking it over, Feng Hanyan found the crying of the female ghost genuinely heart-wrenching, leading her to not only believe what the ghost was saying but also feel sympathy for her. “If you died unjustly, then those who owe, pay. Why did you come to me?”

“Sister, I came to warn you to leave this hotel quickly! Don’t stay here! The hotel… this hotel’s owner is problematic! He’s a psychopathic murderer who dismembers his victims! The night I stayed at this hotel, he…… sob sob~~ sob sob~~ he broke in and… and… he violated me… and then, he killed me… Sob sob~~ Sister, you should leave, I’m just here to tell you to be careful… don’t drink the water in the hotel rooms…”

“What? How outrageous!” Feng Hanyan, with her sense of justice ignited, was furious. “Don’t be scared! I will seek justice for you! But you should also stop clinging to the mortal world; otherwise, you might be destroyed by some Taoists or monks.”

“Sister, I’m so pitiful, I want to reincarnate too, but… but I can’t reincarnate, the owner of this hotel, not only is he a psychopath but also a Taoist. He covered my corpse with talismans, kept my body like a specimen for his sick pleasure, and also… also trapped my soul inside my body, making it impossible for me to reincarnate… Sister, I’m really so pitiful, not only did I die unjustly, but I also have no chance at reincarnation…”

“He really is a deviant! I’m going to kill him!” Feng Hanyan was practically in a rage.

She felt an extreme amount of compassion for what the female ghost had been through.

“What can I do for you? Don’t worry, I’m not just anybody, and I’m not afraid of the hotel’s psychopathic owner. Plus, the person who came with me is invincible in the ways of the Taoist,” Feng Hanyan stated seriously.

“Is that so… Sister, could you find my body and tear off and burn the talismans that the psychopath placed on me? As long as those talismans are burned, I can reincarnate! I will be able to be reborn!” The female ghost knelt and kept kowtowing to Feng Hanyan.

“Tell me, where is your body kept? I will go right now!” Feng Hanyan declared decisively.

“Sister, my body is in the office of the hotel owner, that psychopathic maniac, on the top floor of the hotel,” the female ghost cried pitifully. “But sister, it’s dangerous, that maniac has people guarding the office… Sob sob sob~~~~”

“No problem, no matter who he has guarding the office, I can get in, find your body, and tear off those charms!” Feng Hanyan said earnestly. “I will help you, that is a promise from Feng Hanyan to you!”

…

“Ugh~~~” Feng Hanyan opened her eyes and woke up.

She saw Huang Xiaolong and Qingqing sitting across from her.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were intently fixed on Feng Hanyan, his face beaming with a smile.

Upon seeing this, Feng Hanyan gave Huang Xiaolong a quick glance, feeling shocked, embarrassed, and happy, “Tsk~~ What’s so interesting about someone sleeping… How long was I out?”

“Less than an hour,” Qingqing said with a smile.

Suddenly, Feng Hanyan came to her senses, “I get it now! I was dreaming just now! No wonder all my True Qi had dissipated, and I didn’t have any strength left…”

“Dreaming? What did you dream about?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a smile that was not quite a smile.

“Uh… I dreamt of a female ghost… Right, the owner of this hotel turned out to be a psychotic killer! He killed a beautiful girl, put the body in the top-floor office, and used charms to seal the girl’s spirit, preventing the poor girl from being reincarnated… It’s really pitiful…” Feng Hanyan’s voice also conveyed feelings of righteous indignation and sympathy.

“No way, you’re taking a dream seriously?” Qingqing said sarcastically.

“It’s not that, the dream felt too real! I… I… I believe what that female ghost said in the dream must all be true!” Feng Hanyan said firmly.

“Just because of a dream, you say the hotel owner is a psychotic killer, he must hate you to death. He might even sue you for slander,” Qingqing giggled teasingly.

“Little Long!” Feng Hanyan turned her pleading eyes towards Huang Xiaolong.

Subconsciously, on matters of uncertainty, Feng Hanyan had already come to regard Huang Xiaolong as her pillar.

“Maybe it was a ghost sending the dream,” Huang Xiaolong’s gaze flickered. “The body is in the top-floor office, right?”

“Yes! There’s said to be someone guarding it… but that’s not an issue, Little Long, let’s go find the body now. That female ghost is really too pitiful! Too tragic! Too innocent!” Feng Hanyan said through gritted teeth. “I will not let that perverted owner off! I swear!”

“Let’s go,” Huang Xiaolong stood up, muttering to himself. “So it’s in the top-floor office… hehehe~~~ Feng Hanyan, you’ve been bewitched… It’s laughable, a Great Grandmaster of ancient martial arts, bewitched by a ghost…”

…

In a Bentley car.

A man in his forties wearing traditional Chinese garments sat in the passenger seat, his face anxious, his sword-like eyebrows signaling integrity!

“Hurry! Hurry up! Something chaotic has happened in the Fozhou City Night Parade of a Hundred Ghosts. There… there… there… might be imminent disaster! I need to check on the seals right away, if it… if it… if it breaks out… the whole Fozhou City… maybe… maybe…” The middle-aged man’s voice trembled as if he dared not continue.

…

Huang Xiaolong, Qingqing, and Feng Hanyan quietly arrived at the hotel’s top floor.

This top floor of the hotel was not open to guests and belonged to the hotel’s office area.

Upon arriving, Huang Xiaolong immediately sensed a suppressed ghostly aura!

This ghostly aura was incredibly powerful!

However, the aura was being suppressed by layers of Taoist and Buddhist forces, only leaking out in traces.

“No wonder… turns out there’s Taoist and Buddhist Law suppressing it, diluting this trace of ghostly aura…” Huang Xiaolong nodded slightly.
