The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 672: Chapter 672: The Great Plan!
 

“Little Long, it’s in the forest ahead.” Anger boiled inside Ma Chuxia’s beautiful eyes. “No wonder the miasma refuses to leave the funeral parlor. It seems innocent ghost souls have been chained by evil spirits, preventing their reincarnation and draining the family luck and fortunes of their children! This is an act that damages the Yin’s virtue. We cannot ignore it once we’ve encountered it!”

“Hehe, let’s go,” said Huang Xiaolong, beaming as he walked towards the small grove.

Following behind him were Ma Chuxia, Miao Erfang, Zhou Mi, and Xia Ying.

In the grove!

A fury of spite surged up around them!

All they could see were dozens of pitiful ghost souls kneeling on the ground, endlessly knocking their heads to the ground in a plea for mercy. Their whimpering cries of despair and fear were heart-rending. Even their ghost bodies trembled with fear, shaking like chaff in the wind.

Around them was a ring radiating eerie ghostly energy, trapping these ghosts as if a circle drawn on the ground was their prison.

The circle’s perimeter was densely filled with ghost writing, shaping what seemed to be a formation. The luck of those ghost souls inside this formation streamed out of their heads like a thin trickle turning into a stream as it converged from many ghost souls, directed towards a single point.

Obviously, this would be the wealth blessings belonging to the ghost souls’ families and their descendants, which were now being wickedly stolen by the formation.

Circling the periphery were a dozen or so ghastly ghouls in various colors- orange, yellow, and even a few blue!

The ghouls were whipping the pitiful ghosts inside the circle with whips formed out of Yin energy, striking them till they were agonizingly wounded, their ethereal blood splattering wildly.

“Hehehe~~~ So, another meddlesome Taoist, huh?” retorted a blue clothed evil spirit, its eyes bulging fiercely as it took in Huang Xiaolong’s appearance. Its face was covered in decaying flesh, a sight too horrifying to behold.

Another blue clothed ghoul eyed Miao Erfang and Zhou Mi greedily, drooling and saying, “These tender-skinned ones will surely gush with oil when eaten~~~”

“This is absurd!” An outraged Ma Chuxia muttered, no longer able to hold herself back. She threw a few ghost-vanquishing talismans.

When the talismans hit the ghouls in the center of their brows, a frying sound was heard; green smoke emanated and the ghouls screamed in pain. Their eyeballs came bulging out, being consequently squeezed out, and their black ghost blood gushed out like water from a broken dam!

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, the remaining ghouls howled fiercely, changing into chilling ghost shadows, and lunged at Ma Chuxia.

“Humph~~~” Huang Xiaolong gave a disdainful grunt, swinging his hand and sending down pillars of heavenly lightning, reducing the attacking ghouls to ashes.

All ghouls annihilated!

The trapped ghosts in the circle knelt before Huang Xiaolong, crying and begging, “Master, please, we wish to reincarnate! We do not want to be tortured anymore!”

Huang Xiaolong smiled slightly, sweeping a gilded light from his body that erased the ghost writing on the edge of the circle.

Only then did the ghosts regain their freedom. Grateful, they knocked their heads on the floor even more frantically than before, giving heartfelt thanks.

“Alright, go reincarnate,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

“Wuu~~~Wuuuuu~~~Master, we’ve missed the reincarnation timing too… Do we have to remain as roaming spirits in the mortal world for eternity… wuuuuu~~~” wailed one of the older ghosts.

“Little Long…” Ma Chuxia frowned. If the ghosts missed the reincarnation timing, they could only remain in the mortal world, their resentment growing heavier. They would start harming people, gradually evolving into ghouls.

“It’s fine. There’s a city god temple in the suburbs of Dong’an City, simply go there to reincarnate,” Huang Xiaolong said smiling. “Don’t worry about the aftermath. I’ll help your families and children retrieve their wealth.”

A large group of ghosts hastily drifted out of the mortuary, sensing the direction of the city god temple and hurriedly dashing towards it.

“Little Long, this malicious formation is Zhong Pengfei’s doing. I underestimated him. I never thought he’d be a monstrous abomination, inhumanly cruel,” she admitted.

“A fascinating opponent indeed,” Huang Xiaolong noted with a devilish grin, “From now on, I can play a good game with him. A descendant of Zhong Kui? Hehehe… Then let me be the one to purge his household on Zhong Kui’s behalf!”

Huang Xiaolong observed the direction of the innocent ghost souls’ luck, and then started tracing it.

Ma Chuxia and the others hastily followed.

In the end, Huang Xiaolong stood under a large tree, pushed aside a swath of wild grass, to see a stone monument standing amidst the grass.

The monument was filled with a dead script.

The spirits’ fortunes were seeping into this monument.

“Well, it’s quite well-hidden,” Huang Xiaolong smirked derisively.

Then, with a poke of his finger like poking tofu, he made a hole in the stone monument.

Next, he began to inscribe characters into the stone with his finger.

He wrote in the dead script, swift and firm, each stroke deeply embedded in the stone.

Ma Chuxia and Xia Ying, both martial arts Grandmasters, marveled at Huang Xiaolong’s ability to inscribe so easily with his fingers, his finger strength was shocking and extraordinary!

Soon, Huang Xiaolong added quite a few characters in the dead script on the stone monument.

“Done. I have changed the course of their fortunes. All fortunes will feed back to the spirits’ families and children. Meanwhile, Zhong Pengfei will encounter a series of misfortunes. Whether it’s financial losses or a streak of bad luck, he’ll remain in constant trouble,” Huang Xiaolong chuckled. “If Zhong Pengfei wants to break the formation I set, there’s only one way – he has to be more powerful than me, and change the inscriptions on the monument again. Otherwise, even if he moves this monument, it won’t work.”

“Let’s go,” Huang Xiaolong said with a smile.

“Little Long, shall we take action against Zhong Pengfei immediately?” Ma Chuxia asked, eager to move.

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

“Well, let’s head back to my villa first,” suggested Ma Chuxia. “Little Long, we can further discuss on how to deal with the monster, Zhong Pengfei.”

“No need, I’ll stay at Chenghuang Temple; the environment there is even better than your villa, my dear wife,” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin.

“Chenghuang Temple?” Ma Chuxia sounded puzzled.

“My dear wife, why don’t we go together?” Huang Xiaolong suggested with a smile.

Ma Chuxia graciously accepted, she doesn’t usually refuse Huang Xiaolong’s requests. “Alright.”

They left the funeral home and drove to Chenghuang Temple.

…

Deep into the night.

In Dong’an, the city’s tallest office building.

The top floor.

The top floor area, all offices, belonged to the Zhong brothers, Pengfei and Pengzhan. This was the main camp of the “Zhong Group”.

At that moment, a man in his thirties stood there, his face excessively somber, emitting an awe-inspiring expression.

This man bore some resemblance to Zhong Pengzhan, but he had a more sinister and terrifying demeanor. He was imposing without even being angry.

Zhong Pengfei!

Zhong Pengfei stood in front of the floor-length window, his brow slightly furrowed as if sensing something, he mumbled to himself, “Humph! Just as the grand plan was about to succeed… an interloper appeared. Someone tampered with the dead script monument at the funeral home. Who could it be? I shall kill him! I shall annihilate his entire family! I shall devour his spirit! Render him eternally irreparable!”
