"A vengeful ghost?!"

Zhang Feng let out a low exclamation, a hint of surprise mixed with his vigilance.

He hadn't expected that Lv Dong, as a leader, would actually keep a vengeful ghost?!

Just as Zhang Feng stepped into this room.

An extremely cold aura instantly emanated from all directions.

It seemed to detest Zhang Feng's presence, exerting all its strength to push him out of the room.

The reason was simple.

It was because Zhang Feng himself embodied a Supreme Yang and Firm existence.

He was the natural nemesis of this cold aura.

Even though Zhang Feng was no longer a youth in his prime.

However, he had cultivated to the peak before his transmigration and could inherit the position of Celestial Master.

Such an existence, even if he married and had children, would not lead to the loss of his Supreme Yang and Firm Qi.

Of course, during certain special tasks, there might be a slight loss, but the harmonizing feedback of Yin and Yang would far exceed his depletion.

But now was not the time to explain these things.

Zhang Feng was certain of one thing — a vengeful ghost was in this room because of the cold aura's aversion.

Vengeful ghosts were completely different from the spirits borrowed by Zhang Feng from the Underworld when performing the Summoning the Dead.

They were also unlike the spirits in corpses Zhang Feng had encountered before.

These vengeful ghosts were akin to cultivators among spirits.

They could cultivate in the form of a spirit.

However, the resources ordinary cultivators use for cultivation are Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

And the resources these beings use for cultivation are a mortal's Life Qi.

This Life Qi is not only the Yang Qi of males but also the Yin Qi of females.

Such vengeful ghosts are often more ferocious and abhorrent than some Evil Cultivators.

This made Zhang Feng's eyes flash, a faint blue talisman appearing in his pupils.

The Inner Qi of the Dantian flowed all over his body at once.

Ready at any time to face a sudden attack from the vengeful ghost.

Due to the presence of the vengeful ghost, Zhang Feng had to put Lv Dong's matter aside for now.

As it was evident that this vengeful ghost was more severe than Lv Dong.

But Zhang Feng still stood at the door, not moving.

His heart also harbored some tension.

At this moment, he looked down slightly at the palm of his right hand and murmured softly:

"With my current strength... can I send this vengeful ghost away?"

Indeed.

This was precisely what Zhang Feng worried about.

He hadn't yet seen the vengeful ghost's true form in this room.

Thus, he couldn't yet determine the vengeful ghost's cultivation level.

And Zhang Feng was aware of his own cultivation level.

After the Cheng Bing case, his strength recovered to about one-tenth of his former strength.

Now, after a series of cases, he had restored about seventeen to eighteen percent of his original strength.

But it was still less than a fifth!

Facing an ordinary lesser ghost, Zhang Feng could handle it with ease.

But if it were a powerful vengeful ghost...

Remember, the last time he used Palm Thunder, it drained all his Spiritual Qi from the Dantian in an instant!

This was what Zhang Feng was worried about.

Nevertheless, if he turned away upon encountering a vengeful ghost.

Could he still be deemed worthy of inheriting the Celestial Master position?

So, Zhang Feng slightly clenched his fist and took a step towards the depths of the room.

This room had no furniture.

After all, a vengeful ghost had no use for such things.

As Zhang Feng went deeper, the rejection transmitted from those cold auras around him became clearer.

Moreover, these cold auras seemed very violent.

Even in the airtight room, Zhang Feng heard gusts of wind.

However, this allowed Zhang Feng to relax somewhat.

Since these cold auras had grown so violent, they still couldn't shake Zhang Feng in the slightest.

Then the vengeful ghost's cultivation level was gradually decreasing.

But this didn't mean that Zhang Feng could easily handle it.

After all, who knew if this was a deliberate ruse by the ghost?

Finally, Zhang Feng arrived at the bedroom door, which Lv Dong hadn't dared to enter for over ten minutes.

His eyes narrowed slightly.

Because on top of the doorknob of the folding door, there was a yellow talisman paper!

Zhang Feng, of course, recognized the talisman on that paper.

This was a Restriction Talisman used to seal ghosts!

Meaning the vengeful ghost inside the room absolutely couldn't leave the bedroom!

Conversely, humans could enter and exit freely.

This talisman wasn't drawn by just anyone, that's for sure!

It couldn't be Lv Dong for certain.

Unless....

Zhang Feng's mind recalled the cross tattoo on that withered hand.

Now was not the time to dwell on this.

Zhang Feng decided to leave the talisman on and not take it down.

First, he'd go in and take a look. If he couldn't handle the vengeful ghost, he still had a way out!

So, Zhang Feng took a deep breath, slowly turned the doorknob, and pushed the bedroom door open.

He showed no hesitation, forming a stark contrast to Lv Dong, who hesitated for over ten minutes.

Of course, this was understandable.

After all, Lv Dong was an ordinary person.

When faced with such a degree of cold aura, his inner fear would only grow increasingly intense.

But Zhang Feng was entirely unaffected.

As soon as he pushed open the door.

The surrounding temperature plummeted instantly.

So much so that Zhang Feng's normal breath produced a frosty white mist.

The room was pitch-dark, but Zhang Feng didn't pause; he entered the room and even closed the door behind him.

Otherwise, what if the vengeful ghost sneaked out through the gap in the restriction?

With the door closed, Zhang Feng's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness.

The room's layout slowly became clear.

At this moment, Zhang Feng instantly deduced the cause of Xu Yizhong's death!

He saw a desk, and in the center of that desk was a small box.

Although Zhang Feng couldn't make out the box's specifics from the crime scene images before.

He was, nevertheless, certain.

Because atop this box was also a talisman!

This box was specifically designed to contain a vengeful ghost!

And the image seen through the Open Celestial Eye showed Xu Yizhong opening a box without a talisman!

That proved Xu Yizhong was possessed on the spot and forced to commit suicide in disguise!

After Xu Yizhong's death, Lv Dong immediately capitalized on a time gap to arrive at the scene, properly sealed the box with a talisman, and took it away!

So, Lv Dong... had he truly committed treason?

As Zhang Feng entertained this thought.

With a soft "click,"

a faint pink light illuminated the dark room!

This made Zhang Feng instinctively draw in a breath of chilling air!

It shouldn't be this way!

The box was sealed with a talisman, and the vengeful ghost should be inside the box.

Could it be....

Had the ghost deliberately closed the box?!

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The sound of high heels lightly echoed from within the bedroom.

Under the pink light, a graceful silhouette swayed its supple waist like a serpent, slowly emerging.

Upon seeing this silhouette, Zhang Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes again, his heart flooded with a question:

"Not a ghost?!"
