Master Mo walked in the front, leading the group out of the shop, and directly toward the location of the wronged spirits.

Ji Yutao and others felt somewhat uneasy in their hearts, but thinking of Master Mo's presence, they felt significantly reassured.

Xiao Ya's face showed concern as she had intended to use the antique matter to build a good relationship with Ji Yutao, but she didn't expect such an incident to occur.

Deep down, Xiao Ya was unwilling to let Chairman Ji go because she feared that something unexpected might happen.

After all, what they were about to face were elusive ghosts and spirits.

If Master Mo couldn't handle it, wouldn't that put Ji Yutao in danger?

But the situation had reached this point, and she couldn't stop it; she could only pray that Master Mo really could exorcise those souls.

Soon, led by Master Mo, the group stood outside the door of a shop with its doors wide open.

This shop was the very one that Li Xiaoyao had bought today.

It was actually a conspiracy, a plot devised by Shi Dai.

If he couldn't snatch the shop from Li Xiaoyao's hands, then he'd resort to other methods, such as having Ling City's top brass lend a hand.

This favor, Shi Dai couldn't say directly, so he had to use an indirect method.

And that method involved ghosts and spirits.

If Ji Yutao witnessed Master Mo seemingly exorcising souls at will, Ji Yutao would certainly regard Master Mo with awe. At that point, with Shi Dai speaking some timely words on the side, Ji Yutao would definitely take it seriously.

"Woo~~"

Eerie and strange sounds kept coming out of the shop, and even Shi Dai turned pale, his legs wobbly.

"Why isn't the door of this shop closed?" Ji Yutao asked, frowning.

"Perhaps the shop owner forgot," someone suggested.

Master Mo said, "Step back, everyone. I'll go in and exorcise the spirits."

Ji Yutao's expression turned serious, "Master Mo, please be extremely careful."

Master Mo also nodded solemnly, his face as serious, and stepped into the shop under the gaze of the others, who watched with fear and trepidation.

As soon as Master Mo entered the shop, he immediately felt a cold air assault him. The chill climbed from the soles of his feet into his body, causing Master Mo to shudder, his face suddenly turning deathly pale.

Master Mo's feet seemed to take root on the spot, unable to move an inch, as wronged spirits continuously appeared before him. Their pale, bloodless faces and hollow eyes filled with resentment caused Master Mo's mind to go blank in an instant.

Fear spread rapidly through his body, shaking him to the core, as he let out a pitiful scream.

"Ah!!!"

The scream echoed out of the shop, and the few people waiting outside, upon hearing it, involuntarily weakened at the knees and collapsed to the ground.

Shi Dai's face turned drastically, stammering, "What... what happened inside?"

The antique shop owner tried to run away, but just then, dark wronged spirits flew out of the shop, swooping toward them with shrill cries.

Xiao Ya was terrified, screaming at the top of her lungs, and Ji Yutao was also so frightened that his mind went blank, sitting on the ground, clueless.

"Return!"

A light shout arose, filled with supreme authority and an irresistible magical power.

Under this command, the spirits that had rushed out as if they had seen something terrifying, turned and fled back into the shop.

The few people sitting on the ground came to their senses and turned their heads to look, only to see an old man and a young man standing not far behind them.

"Mr. Li!" Xiao Ya saw the newcomers and softly called out, "What brings you here?"

At this time, Ji Yutao also regained his composure and asked, "Do you know these two gentlemen?"

Xiao Ya nodded her head, but before she could explain, Li Xiaoyao had already walked up with a frown and, with a tone of reproach, said, "Who told you to come?"

Xiao Ya was stunned and said, "We... we..."

Li Xiaoyao cut her off, waving his hands impatiently, "Enough, hurry up and leave."

Ji Yutao stood up from the ground; he didn't know the background of this young man, but regardless, the young man had just saved him, and he knew that gratitude was due.

"Hello, Mr. Li, thank you for coming to the rescue just now."

"You're lucky, if I had arrived a few minutes later, you would all be dead," Li Xiaoyao said indifferently.

Ji Yutao was not offended by Li Xiaoyao's attitude. In his view, it was normal for people with special abilities to have a bit of a temper.

"Mr. Li, there is an old man trapped inside the shop; I hope you can save him." As the top leader of Ling City, Ji Yutao had seen such an incident tonight. It was fortunate that no one had died, for if there had been casualties, it would have certainly affected his career path.

"Someone is in the shop?" Li Xiaoyao frowned deeper.

"It's Master Mo; he's trapped inside." Shi Dai, who had been terrified by Master Mo's screams and the sudden appearance of resentful spirits, had lost his capacity to think and, not caring whether he was speaking to Li Xiaoyao or not, said loudly.

"Shi Dai!" Li Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes, a hint of suspicion in his heart. Why was Shi Dai here? And how did Master Mo get into the shop?

Jiang Lichun stepped forward, glancing at the shop filled with resentful spirits, and with a light furrow of his brows, said, "Someone has tampered with the shop. It must be this Master Mo."

"Tampered with?" Li Xiaoyao's brows raised, and his piercing gaze turned to Shi Dai as he demanded, "Was it you who meddled with things?"

Shi Dai would never admit to it; he shook his head repeatedly, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Li Xiaoyao's face bore a murderous aura, and he was about to take action, but he was stopped by Jiang Lichun.

Jiang Lichun patted Li Xiaoyao's shoulder and said, "To deal with this kind of person, other methods are required."

Jiang Lichun stepped in front of Shi Dai, smiling at him, but the words that came out made Shi Dai shiver with fear.

"I'll give you one chance. Tell me if it was you who tampered with the place. If you're honest, I'll help you save the unlucky fellow trapped inside. If you don't speak, heh, I'll throw you in too, and let you taste the agony of being devoured by a thousand ghosts." A chill flashed in Jiang Lichun's eyes as he continued, "Believe me, that's an experience you'll never forget for the rest of your life."

Everyone present shivered from head to toe at Jiang Lichun's words.

This seemingly harmless old man instilled a deep, heartfelt fear in them.

Shi Dai immediately dared not keep anything hidden and spilled everything.

After listening, Li Xiaoyao snorted and kicked him aside, then turned to look at the shop and said, "Old man, are you sure those incantations you taught me will work?"

Jiang Lichun, hands clasped behind his back, smiled and said, "Didn't you just chase away those spirits?"

"Those were just a few lackeys; there are hundreds, if not thousands of resentful spirits inside the shop. Can you even compare the two?" Li Xiaoyao said, rolling his eyes.

"You need to have confidence in yourself."

Li Xiaoyao's cheeks puffed out as he grumbled, "It's you I don't have confidence in."

Jiang Lichun urged, "Alright, you rascal, hurry up and get in there. When you're done, this old man has to go back to rest."
