Chapter 125: No Harm Done

The Qin Shi waved a hand, and the spirit talisman before the ancestral hall door was continuously eroded by a mass of resentment, emitting a 'gurgling' sound as if water were boiling.

Seeing this, Li Biao could not help but kneel on the ground and shout, "Chief Zhang, it was our fault during the day, we apologize, please save us!"

The Qin Shi actually spoke, saying, "Wanting someone to save you? Don't dream! If it weren't for an expert being here last night, you would have been dead long ago! Hahaha, you bunch of lowly commoners, pay with your lives!"

The next second, golden light emerged around the ancestral hall, and a phantom image of a Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams shrouded the hall, instantly isolating the resentment outside.

Zhang Wei vaulted over the wall and entered, letting out a breath of relief as he said, "Good thing I arrived in time. You Qin Shi, cease your arrogance!"

The Qin Shi recognized Zhang Wei; he remembered Zhang Wei standing beside that enlightened expert, and feared their relationship was not shallow.

He immediately said, "You had best not meddle in other people's business; otherwise, even if you have someone backing you, I will not let you off!"

Zhang Wei said in surprise, "You Qin Shi are impressive, you can even talk. Let me test your skills!"

Zhang Wei drew the Zhong Kui Treasure Sword, and rays of golden light radiated out, directly illuminating the ancestral hall. Seeing the Zhong Kui Treasure Sword, the Qin Shi could not help but feel some trepidation.

Seeing that Zhang Wei was determined to save the people of the Yang, Qian, and Li families, the Qin Shi stopped being polite and immediately glared.

Zhang Wei was sent flying by a direct hit, but the Eight Trigrams mirror on his body suddenly vibrated, a golden light protected his body, and it shot a beam of golden light at the Qin Shi.

The Qin Shi immediately drew his sword, the blade carrying resentment, and directly hacked the golden light in two.

"Boom! Boom!"

The golden light struck the wall, instantly blasting a hole through it.

Shaken by the Eight Trigrams mirror, Zhang Wei fell to the ground; he hurriedly clutched his chest and scrambled up.

"Cough, cough."

Zhang Wei caught his breath and said, "You old monster are quite formidable."

The Qin Shi warned again, "If you leave now, I will pretend nothing ever happened."

Zhang Wei took a deep breath and said, "Don't say so much, I won't let you run amok!"

Having said that, Zhang Wei held the Zhong Kui Treasure Sword and slashed out, a golden sword Qi flying toward the Qin Shi.

The Qin Shi waved his large hand, and a vast expanse of resentment swept over, directly engulfing the sword Qi.

"Boom!"

The blast of air kicked up a cloud of dust, and Zhang Wei could not help but retreat two steps.

Before he could steady himself, the Qin Shi waved his sleeve again, and the raging wind that blew almost knocked Zhang Wei over.

The Qin Shi immediately shouted to the female corpses on his left and right, "Go and seize the Zhong Kui Treasure Sword!"

The two female corpses immediately attacked Zhang Wei from left and right. Just as Zhang Wei steadied his body, one female corpse had already grabbed his right hand, and the other opened its mouth to bite at his neck.

Zhang Wei was greatly alarmed; he hurriedly bit his left index finger and flicked a drop of essence blood at the female corpse rushing to bite him.

This drop of blood landed on the female corpse's face, and she immediately covered her face and shrieked, white smoke continuously rising from it.

Having succeeded, Zhang Wei immediately drew the Seven-Star Copper Sword from his Qiankun Bag and struck the female corpse on the right, stabbing her to death.

The Qin Shi gave a cold snort and said, "Truly useless things."

With that, he glared, and fire immediately ignited on Zhang Wei's body.

Zhang Wei was greatly alarmed and hurriedly chanted, "Golden light appear quickly, cover and protect the true practitioner, obey the law with urgency!"

A golden light flashed on his body, and the fire that had ignited was instantly extinguished.

The Qin Shi chuckled, waved his left hand, and all the bricks on the ground floated up, igniting with green spirit fire with a 'boom'.

Seeing fireballs in every direction, Zhang Wei immediately pulled out the Eight Trigrams mirror from his bosom and chanted again, "Golden light appear quickly, cover and protect the true practitioner, obey the law with urgency!"

He quickly held the Eight Trigrams mirror and spun it, rays of golden light lighting up all around, and those fireballs could not get close.

Following that, he used the Zhong Kui Treasure Sword to hack and slash, shattering the surrounding fireballs.

"Dong, dong, dong."

Outside the ancestral hall, there was a clamor of gongs and drums, and immediately after, Jiu Jie and the others appeared in theatrical costumes.

Jiu Jie and her group instantly attracted the Qin Shi's attention.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei was already trapped by the Qin Shi within the fireballs, unable to spare any effort.

The Qin Shi barked, "Who are you people!"

Jiu Jie said coquettishly, "We are subjects who admire Your Majesty."

Teacher Lin hurriedly sang, "Your Majesty, you are brilliant and martial!"

Hearing this, the Qin Shi laughed heartily. He looked at the beautiful Jiu Jie and A Qiu, and hurriedly beckoned, saying, "Come here to me, let me take a closer look."

Jiu Jie immediately cast amorous glances at the Qin Shi and slowly approached, while A Qiu behind her walked over carrying wine.

The Qin Shi pulled Jiu Jie over and laughed, "You look quite good."

As he spoke, he went to kiss Jiu Jie, and seeing that wrinkled, foul face, Jiu Jie very much wanted to dodge.

However, Shi Chun, who was to the side, hurriedly walked to Jiu Jie's side, handed three Corpse-Suppressing Coins to her, and signaled with his eyes.

Jiu Jie gathered her courage, first feigning shyness by lowering her head, then immediately stuffed the three Corpse-Suppressing Coins into her mouth.

The Qin Shi laughed, reached out to lift Jiu Jie's face, and kissed her directly.

Jiu Jie took the opportunity to shove all three Corpse-Suppressing Coins into the Qin Shi's mouth.

As soon as the three Corpse-Suppressing Coins touched the Qin Shi's mouth, they transformed into golden light and rushed directly into the Qin Shi's body.

"Ah!"

The Qin Shi let out a wail.

Shi Chun hurriedly kicked the Qin Shi away and pulled Jiu Jie to run.

The Qin Shi, having regained his senses, finally realized and shouted, "Hateful, you are spies!"

"Boom!"

The Qin Shi's magic power was suppressed by the three Corpse-Suppressing Coins, and Zhang Wei, who had just been trapped by the fireballs, had already charged out.

Zhang Wei shouted loudly, "Well done!"

The Qin Shi saw that things were going poorly and wanted to fly away, but when he jumped, there was no reaction, and he fell straight to the ground.

Zhang Wei saw this and was overjoyed; he leaped, performed a 720-degree flip in the air, and landed in front of the Qin Shi.

The Qin Shi hurriedly got up and thrust his sword, but Zhang Wei performed a sword-parry, knocking the Qin Shi's precious sword aside.

"Puchi!"

Zhang Wei thrust his sword into the Qin Shi's chest, and the Yin Qi on the Qin Shi's body continuously dissipated into the surroundings.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "Retreat quickly!"

The crowd immediately retreated several meters away.

As streaks of golden light rushed into the Qin Shi's body, the Qin Shi's struggling gradually weakened, and finally, he turned into a pile of ash.

Zhang Wei stepped forward to look and saw that the Zhong Kui divinity on the Zhong Kui Precious Sword had already dissipated, but having been soaked in the Zhong Kui divinity for so long, it had picked up some of its aura, which was still quite good for warding off evil.

He put away the Zhong Kui Precious Sword and sighed in relief, saying: "The matter is finally resolved."

Jiu Jie said with a bitter face: "The matter is resolved, but my treasure is gone."

Shi Chun said righteously: "Alright, that was all ill-gotten wealth, don't think about it anymore."

In the ancestral hall, Li Biao saw that Zhang Wei had already dealt with the Qin Shi, and only then did he walk out.

Zhang Wei did not want to have any more entanglements with them, so he immediately finished off the female corpse that was preparing to flee, and then left.

He never waited for the support he wanted, and the next day, he took a boat back to Fragrant Island.

Zhang Wei had just returned to Fragrant Island and had not yet had time to report in when Zhang Cheng suddenly appeared by his side.

Zhang Wei was startled and exclaimed: "Grand Martial Uncle, can you give a warning before you come?"

Zhang Cheng said with a straight face: "You did well this time; the treasure in the private restricted area has already been taken by me."

Having said that, the person vanished in the next second.

Zhang Wei looked at the flow of people around him; it seemed no one had noticed what had just happened.

He let out a long breath and immediately returned to the base of the Ghost-Catching Unit.

Hu Xin saw Zhang Wei return safely and said very happily: "Consultant Zhang, I knew you wouldn't disappoint people. Is the matter at Little East Bay resolved?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said: "Resolved, the Qin Shi there has already been wiped out."

Hu Xin immediately reported this matter to Baron James, and Baron James smiled after listening and said: "I will not forget Inspector Zhang's contribution; I will have headquarters reward Inspector Zhang in a moment."

Hu Xin hung up the phone, patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Congratulations, this time you are a Probationary Inspector."

Zhang Wei wasn't that happy; after all, he had been set up by Baron James this time.

He left Hu Xin's office and returned to his dormitory.

He Fenni saw Zhang Wei return, ran over hurriedly, and hugged him to give him a kiss.

Jin Maiji and the others who were training immediately started howling, filled with envy.

Zhang Wei held He Fenni and smiled: "Missed me that much?"

He Fenni said shyly: "No, I was just... um..."

Zhang Wei immediately blocked her lips.

Not far away, Danielle frowned as she watched.

Morgan said: "It seems this Consultant Zhang is truly formidable, to actually be able to escape from the trap arranged by Baron James."

Danielle turned around and said: "Alright, stop worrying about this. Train our team well; we can't let the people from Group A look down on us."

Zhang Wei did not notice Danielle; he spent a while being lovey-dovey with He Fenni before letting her go back to training.

Zhang Wei checked the training of Group A; Chen Meijun already possessed magic power, while the others were still practicing the first level of the Valley Clothes Heart Sutra.

Therefore, he handed the Zhong Kui Precious Sword to Chen Meijun; with the help of the Zhong Kui Precious Sword, Chen Meijun would be enough to deal with some ghosts.

Zhang Wei returned to Fragrant Island to rest for a few days; during these few days, he had been thinking about how to take revenge on this Baron James.

This time he had been miserably set up by this Baron James; if it weren't for having someone behind him, facing such a powerful Qin Shi would surely have been a narrow escape, unlike this time where it was safe despite the danger.

However, wanting to take revenge on the powerful and influential Baron James was indeed somewhat difficult.

"Is it that you want to take revenge on that foreigner?"

Zhang Wei hurriedly looked, and it was indeed his Grand Martial Uncle; he was now somewhat used to this elusive Grand Martial Uncle.

Zhang Wei nodded and said: "Yes, this James is too hateful. He couldn't get the girl, so he actually looked for me to vent his anger; I'm very unhappy."

Zhang Cheng nodded and said: "Hmm, people from my Maoshan cannot be bullied at will. You did well this time, so I will help you."

Having said that, Zhang Cheng disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Wei muttered: "Damn, is Grand Martial Uncle a god among men?"

After Zhang Cheng left the base, it wasn't long before he appeared in the vicinity of Baron James.

Beside Baron James, there were also two Western mages.

Baron James said to the two mages: "I don't care what method you use, you must kill that person named Zhang Wei!"

"Who!"

One mage shouted and immediately scanned the surroundings.

The other mage was greatly alarmed and hurriedly chanted: "Mother Earth, please protect me!"

"Boom—"

Streaks of earthen walls rapidly surrounded Baron James and the mages.

The other mage chanted: "God of Nature, please guide my direction!"

"Ah!"

That mage was backlashed by the spell and instantly screamed as he fell to the ground.

The mage who summoned the earthen walls said in surprise: "Baron James, apologize quickly!"

Baron James said in alarm: "Who is it, come out quickly!"

The next second, Zhang Cheng appeared before the group, and the several bodyguards nearby immediately drew their guns, pointing them at Zhang Cheng.

Baron James narrowed his eyes and said, "You are the number one Eastern warlock, Zhang Cheng?"

Zhang Cheng looked at Baron James, and Baron James let out a muffled groan, kneeling directly on the ground.

The mage beside him also spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground, and the earthen wall instantly disintegrated.

Zhang Cheng gave a cold snort and said, "This is a small lesson for you; if there is a next time, I will certainly not be lenient."

The mage hurriedly said, "Please calm your anger, Excellency."

Zhang Cheng chuckled and said, "You people from the Mage Association truly never learn; has your Mage God recovered from his injuries?"

The mage lowered his head and said, "Respected True Person Zhang, we are only here to protect Xiangdao."

Zhang Cheng said indifferently, "Then do what you are supposed to do."

The next second, Zhang Cheng's figure vanished.

The mage put away his expression of facing a formidable enemy, and he looked at Baron James and said, "Mr. James, you had best not provoke that person named Zhang Wei again."

Baron James coughed for a long time before he caught his breath, and with a face full of shame and anger, he said, "Why should I bow my head to him!"

The mage said in surprise, "Have you not seen his strength yet? Our association will not participate in this matter."

He immediately stood up, helped his companion up, and left Baron James's villa.

Baron James harbored secret hatred in his heart; he immediately called over his lackey and said, "Immediately send word to warlocks in Nanyang, Eastern Japan, and other places."

"Because of the vampire incident, Gangdao wishes to invite people from all walks of life to come and discuss, and to recruit talented and extraordinary people."

Baron James laughed and said, "Hehehe, I want to make this Xiangdao a place where all sorts of people are mixed together!"

Baron James's actions were no different from being a troublemaker.

Such actions of his would only make Xiangdao increasingly chaotic; after all, those sorcerers from places like Nanyang were mostly people with crooked minds.

With so many talented and extraordinary people flooding into Xiangdao, disputes would certainly arise, and as the number one person in Xiangdao, Zhang Cheng would certainly not sit idly by.

Baron James had exactly this thought; he simply wanted to tie up Zhang Cheng's energy.

Such news quickly reached the Ghost-Catching Unit, and Zhang Wei looked at the notice, frowning as he said, "What is this? Are they worried that Xiangdao isn't chaotic enough?"

Hu Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know either; in any case, this is an order from headquarters."

Zhang Wei cursed, "Damn it, this is complete nonsense."

Zhang Wei hurriedly called Uncle Feng, and Uncle Feng was also very anxious; in the end, Uncle Feng sought out Zhang Cheng again.

Zhang Cheng gave an indifferent smile and told Uncle Feng to go back.

How could he not know the little schemes of the foreigners? However, this matter was also a good thing; he would gather all these monsters and demons in Xiangdao, find an opportunity, and wipe them all out.

Zhang Cheng revealed a faint smile; it had been a long time since he had encountered anything interesting.

Then he would construct a Blessed Land for people to fight over.
