The night is dark and the wind is strong.
Sun Yuan, dressed in typical street market clothes, wearing a baseball cap and mask, approached a villa.
This was the private residence of a famed wealthy tycoon in Tianxing City.
And coincidentally, he was someone deeply superstitious about supernatural forces and had strong ties with the Longevity Sect.
As for how he knew?
One can only say that in the internet age, celebrity privacy is rare. This tycoon was once photographed by paparazzi attending an event organized by the Longevity Sect three years ago.
Unfortunately, the photos are still online.
Sun Yuan searched for them and found them, leading him to uncover more information.
'In fact... the involvement of the Longevity Sect in Tianxing City might not be limited to Liu Huoyi alone, but I can investigate them one by one...'
At this moment, after nearing the villa, Sun Yuan sensed a sort of 'thrill'!
This was a new ability he gained after awakening to spells and certain enigmatic memories.
He had a certain sensitivity towards 'the extraordinary' or 'extraordinary items'.
The closer he got to the villa, the more he felt a stabbing pain in his temples.
He even directly recalled the scene where the fake doctor turned into a humanoid tree and then spontaneously combusted.
'Inside this villa, there is an extraordinary person, just like that fake doctor!'
Sun Yuan felt a stirring in his heart, having pinpointed his target.
'This tycoon Liu Huoyi is definitely problematic!'
He took a good look at the villa but didn't rush in recklessly. Though appearing calm, to his senses, it seemed like a monster with its mouth wide open, full of danger.
'A trap?'
Sun Yuan chuckled, walked a considerable distance away to a moat, and finally took out a phone card, inserting it into his phone: "Hello? I'd like to report a danger; suspicious elements are concealed inside a villa. The address is…"
After reporting, Sun Yuan removed the newly purchased card and decisively tossed it into the river, leaving quickly, his figure blending into the darkness.
...
Soon after, several gunshots pierced the tranquility of the night.
Bam bam!
Then, the sound of a fierce gunfight erupted, causing chaos in the surrounding area.
Numerous citizens in Tianxing were utterly shocked. They never imagined that the Western-style gunfight seen only in movies would occur right in their midst!
Bam bam!
More gunshots followed, then... boom!
Explosion sounds rang out; an orange flame ball glowed incredibly bright against the night sky.
'Indeed... Though the power of spells is unpredictable and strange, the caster is too weak!'
Sun Yuan, always lurking at a strategic point far from the villa, silently observed all that transpired.
'Just a handgun can kill a spell caster!'
'Perhaps... the might of spells isn't just that, but even the Longevity Sect's mastery wouldn't easily overturn Xiane's regime.'
This time, such was the case!
After the explosion, shadows directly fled the villa, going in different directions.
'There is one extraordinary person!'
Sun Yuan's eyes brightened as he pursued the person he sensed.
Under the night sky, his agility increased remarkably, like a nimble monkey, darting through corners and gaps swiftly, even outpacing those chasing.
Moreover, those being pursued hadn't noticed him.
Swish swish!
In the nighttime wind, the fleeing figure glanced back and suddenly spewed a string of incantations.
These were uttered in an ancient tongue, sounding vague and primitive, the intonation bizarre and carrying an inexplicable feel.
Vaguely, Sun Yuan could distinguish a few words:
"The Angler said... Fish swam in confusion, suddenly finding death... caught by the bait and perish... something escaped..."
Bam bam!
One by one, the pursuers behind the figure in black collapsed, as if hooked fish, eyes rolling white, gasping for breath, seemingly losing their ability to take in oxygen.
"Caught you!"
Since the other was casting a spell, their movement involuntarily slowed, allowing Sun Yuan to catch up.
Without hesitation, he directly cast the Kunlun Curse!
Well, Sun Yuan named the two spells he learned from the Classic of Mountains and Seas: the Kunlun Curse is weaker due to being incomplete, but it easily torments a strong man such that they painfully succumb to unconsciousness.
Whereas the Fusang Curse is terrifying, not only turning one into a tree but also causing them to combust.
Sun Yuan had no intention of killing at the moment, thus refrained from using it.
With the Kunlun Curse active, the man in black staggered, painfully collapsing, clutching their head as if enduring some torment.
'What's happening? Has my spell grown stronger again?'
Stepping forward, Sun Yuan found the person genuinely debilitated by his spell, close to a mental breakdown, astonished.
'Seems... my spell's power intensified greatly after my secondary personality emerged... Is it because casting spells requires spiritual power? Having two personalities means double the spiritual power?'
Sun Yuan turned over various thoughts, grabbing the person in black.
They weren't heavy, and gripping them revealed a soft touch with a perfume scent wafting towards him.
'Hmm? It's a woman?'
Sun Yuan felt a twitch in his heart but didn't stop moving, swiftly carrying the person in black away.
...
Snap!
Sun Yuan, devoid of any tender feelings, harshly threw the woman onto the ground.
"Ah!"
The woman cried out in pain, rubbing her forehead, but gradually recovered from the effects of the Kunlun Curse.
"Who are you? Why do you know spellcasting?"
She stared at Sun Yuan, suddenly asking, "Are you the one who stopped number three at the hospital?"
The organization knew nothing about what happened at the hospital, but number three, with stronger spellcasting skills than her, hadn't returned, indicating trouble.
This prompted them to set traps inside the villa.
But unexpectedly, tonight they directly faced an official raid!
Jin Ling's heart filled with helplessness and resentment.
This enemy was truly shameless!
"You're my captive, and now it's my turn to interrogate you!"
Underneath Sun Yuan's mask, his voice turned cold: "Longevity Sect woman, where have you taken Professor Xiang?"
"Beg me, if you kneel and lick my toes, I'll consider telling you..." Jin Ling showed a pathological smile.
"Hmm?"
Sun Yuan didn't think twice, reversing his hand for a slap.
Snap!
Amid the crisp sound, a handprint instantly appeared on Jin Ling's pretty face.
Yet amidst her cries of pain, there was seemingly a hint of delightful gasp.
'Damn... this woman is insane!'
Sun Yuan looked at Jin Ling's twisted expression and sighed inwardly.
People practicing spells often had some mental issues.
Not to mention, to quickly amplify spell power, those private organizations likely dared to try anything!
