le, he knew nothing about what happened there. If he were still in the temple, perhaps he could have discovered some clues.Although Xiao Yu walked very slowly, it didn’t take him long to reach the sub...Chapter 621: Aura of Blood

They all knew that these ghosts wouldn’t emerge until after midnight, when the malevolent Yin Qi was at its thickest. After all, these spirits were born out of and dependent on the Yin energy; if they came out earlier, their strength would be severely affected.

"Shall we go in" On the car, Wang Haiyang glanced at the time and said to Xiao Yu and others. He then got off the vehicle first.

Upon seeing Wang Haiyang getting off the car, Liu Zongyuan and others also followed suit; Xiao Yu was the last one to get out of the car.

Xiao Yu frowned as he watched the building swirling with malevolent black clouds. His expression became increasingly solemn as red lights flickered within those swirling clouds of dark energy.

As time passed, more and more red lights could be seen in the black cloud.

Aura of Blood Xiao Yu looked at the black light and thought with shock; although he was shocked inside, his expression didn’t change. He merely furrowed his brows tighter.

Wang Haiyang and others also saw that Xiao Yu had a frowning look on his face. In their eyes, Xiao Yu’s current display of fear meant that he lacked the courage necessary for an cultivator; otherwise, even if he became one, he wouldn’t achieve much success but merely be considered as a faith healer in the civilian world.

Their distance from him would become increasingly larger. Thus, seeing Xiao Yu now made them look down upon him and think of excluding him from their group.

Now that they had formed a small circle among themselves, after observing Xiao Yu’s current display, they gradually wanted to exclude him; after all, Xiao Yu was currently without cultivation and the gap between them was already widening.

"Haha, Brother Xiao, how about you stay in the car We can manage on our own!" Wang Haiyang laughed mockingly upon seeing Xiao Yu's expression and said.

"Uh... Alright, then I won't go either. I'll just wait in the car!" Xiao Yu naturally noticed Wang Haiyang and their group's expressions, but he didn't care at all. He thought for a moment before speaking.

The place where that building was now seemed quite eerie. If he went with them, there would be no point; it would be better to wait until they had entered and then follow behind them.

After all, Xiao Yu didn't want them to know too much about him. Although everyone was a cultivator, if these things were spread around, he wouldn’t be able to live in peace. Even if those cultivators didn't seek him out, it's likely that the elders would find him.

The moment Xiao Yu finished speaking, naked disdain flashed in Wang Haiyang and Liu Zongyuan’s eyes; they could tell that Xiao Yu was afraid but thought he would stubbornly go through with it for face. If so, their disdain towards him might only be in their hearts.

But now Xiao Yu directly chose to back down, which made the disdain they had inwardly felt manifest outwardly. The gaze directed at Xiao Yu was a direct look of contempt, but no one would voice it out loud because even if they didn’t respect him, they respected his master or relatives.

However, these people's eyes openly revealed their disdain and contempt, which didn't bother Xiao Yu in the slightest given his current mindset and strength.

Xiao Yu got back into the car after speaking. Wang Haiyang and the others glared at Xiao Yu before turning around to head towards the construction site.

Seated inside the car, Xiao Yu waited until they entered the construction site before getting out of the vehicle and heading over as well. At this moment, that blood-red aura in the black clouds surrounding that building was becoming increasingly thick, while Xiao Yu's mood grew ever more heavy.

The time wasn't even midnight yet, but there already existed a layer of blood qi, and it continued to grow incessantly. In a little bit, who knew what kind of state it would reach!

Xiao Yu followed the same route Wang Haiyang's group took into the construction site. He could still see their figures from afar at this point, so he kept following behind Wang Haiyang.

Unexpectedly, while they were walking, Wang Haiyang and his group stopped in their tracks and hid in a dark corner, whereas Xiao Yu circled around to another side and concealed himself within the darkness.

At this point, they were not far from the building that exuded a sinister aura. In front of this ominous building, there was a table with two thick candles burning fiercely on it, and behind the table stood five or six people.

Xiao Yu glanced at the table and noticed an elderly man in his sixties wearing bright yellow Taoist robes standing next to it. Behind him were two young Taoists in their thirties standing straightly, and a little further back was a bespectacled gentleman in his forties with a slightly protruding belly, beside whom stood a muscular young bodyguard in his twenties staring vigilantly at the surroundings.

The elderly man wearing bright yellow Taoist robes then picked up a wooden sword from the table and began swinging it around while muttering something under his breath.

"Pfft..." Suddenly, an stifled laughter broke out. Yet as soon as it started, it was abruptly cut off as if someone had choked it.

Upon hearing this laugh, Xiao Yu turned to look in the direction of its origin and saw that Wang Haiyang was covering his mouth with both hands in the darkness, but a hint of a smile still crept onto his face. The laughter just now came from him.

"Who's there Show yourself or else don't blame me for being rude!" When Wang Haiyang's laugh erupted, the robust young man beside the gentleman suddenly turned around and pulled out a gun, pointing it at the source of the sound in the darkness with a stern voice.

They had already seen strange occurrences here a few days ago. Since construction started, how many people had died or been injured So when such a laugh sounded late at night, they couldn't help but feel alarmed.

The place was out in the countryside and hardly anyone would come by under normal circumstances. After all the incidents that happened here, workers had long since moved to other locations far away. Therefore, no one should be around. But now a laugh suddenly came from behind them, how could they not feel nervous

Although this robust young man appeared calm with his gun pointed at the darkness, he was actually extremely tense inside. As the boss's bodyguard, he knew very well about the anomalies here. After laughter erupted in the dark unexpectedly, without hesitation he pulled out a gun; whether it could help or not, having a gun could provide some courage.

Not only did this robust young man feel nervous, even that gentleman and several old Taoists felt their hearts tighten upon hearing the laugh, shivering involuntarily.

Wang Haiyang didn't expect them to have guns. Although there were ways they could subdue these people in the dark, they couldn't guarantee the gun wouldn't discharge accidentally. After all, this young man's gun was aimed right at them; if a bullet went off by accident, they certainly wouldn't take that risk. They weren’t invulnerable to gunfire and before reaching mid-stage Qi Condensation realm, evading bullets was impossible.

"It's us who spotted you entering and wanted to see the commotion!" Upon seeing the young man pointing a gun at them, Wang Haiyang looked extremely displeased but didn't say anything. Liu Zongyuan caught a glimpse of Wang Haiyang’s expression under the faint light and understood why he was hesitating so much. Hence, Liu Zongyuan spoke up.

Wang Haiyang, who had been crouching ahead, let out a long sigh after hearing Liu Zongyuan's words. Now that Liu Zongyuan and his group were on Wang’s turf, being intimidated by an ordinary person with a gun would not only damage Wang’s reputation but also instantly diminish the influence and authority he had recently established among others.

That was why Wang Haiyang remained hesitant, and it was fortunate that Liu Zongyuan suddenly spoke up to help him out of this predicament.

After Wang Haiyang and his group finished speaking, they stood up from the darkness and slowly emerged.

"Who are you What are you doing here" The young man became even more vigilant upon seeing Wang Haiyang’s group come out. He pointed his gun straight at them, feeling reassured when he realized that these people were ordinary humans since what he feared was not ghosts but something else...

The others felt relieved once they saw it was just a group of people.

Especially the elderly man in yellow Taoist robes and the two Taoists, who didn’t actually know how to exorcise ghosts and also didn't believe that ghosts existed. They were merely tricking people for money and had never failed before.

In their view, talking about ghost hauntings was just psychological effects. So whenever someone asked them to exorcise a ghost, they would perform an incantation ceremony to comfort the mind of the person seeking help and consider it done. Moreover, no one ever followed up later on the matter, hence when this middle-aged man approached him with money, he readily agreed.

The day before, the middle-aged man brought the old Taoist here for a look around. Afterward, the old Taoist calculated and said that it used to be a cemetery with many vengeful spirits and that conducting an exorcism ceremony could solve everything due to the powerful ghosts there; however, it would require a large amount of his energy, which is why he asked for 100,000 yuan as compensation.

The middle-aged man didn't hesitate at all. With incidents happening on this construction site, he had already compensated nearly two million yuan and the longer it was halted, the greater his losses would be each day. If 100,000 yuan could indeed solve everything, he wouldn’t want to wait any longer since that sum was nothing to him.

That’s how they prepared everything during the daytime for what Xiao Yu and others witnessed.ved. As he was about to get into his car, Yellow Heaven stopped him as he walked out.Hearing someone calling from behind while he was getting into the car, Chu Guoqing turned around and saw that it wa...
