Chapter 458: I'll Support You From Now On

With two *shoo-shoo* sounds, two leaves carried a streak of light as they flew forward, accurately and unerringly slicing through the necks of the two mercenaries.

The two men's bodies stiffened, a line of blood appearing at their necks, and then they fell to the ground with a thud, twitching a few times before lying still.

Chen Yu, at the Martial Ancestor Realm, had long since reached the level of plucking leaves to injure people; the two soft leaves were undoubtedly sharp blades in his hands. These two fellows had their eyes wide open even in death; they died with extreme unwillingness, never having dreamed that they would encounter a ruthless character like Chen Yu.

"Don't come over." Huang Yu was dumbfounded; he hurriedly pulled out a gun and aimed it at Chen Yu: "Try taking another step forward."

"Can this toy really hurt me?" Chen Yu stared at Huang Yu.

"Heh, a toy?" Huang Yu sneered: "Are you an idiot? Why don't you try and see if the gun in my hand is a toy."

Bang... Huang Yu fired directly. The gun in his hand was, of course, the real deal, but unfortunately, Chen Yu before him was completely unharmed.

"How is this possible?" Huang Yu's eyes widened like copper bells, staring fixedly at Chen Yu. The gun in his hand was real, and there was nothing wrong with the gun; why was Chen Yu fine?

Chen Yu loosened his right hand, and a shell casing fell to the ground.

"This is impossible, how could you catch a bullet with your bare hands? Are you human or a ghost?" Huang Yu was nearly on the verge of a breakdown. He had traveled far and wide for so many years and had seen many strange people and extraordinary feats, but he truly did not know that there was someone in this world who could actually catch a bullet with their bare hands.

"Do you really think a Martial Ancestor Realm expert is just talk?" Chen Yu's figure flashed, closing in on Huang Yu.

Huang Yu only felt a tightening in his hand; his gun had already fallen into Chen Yu's grasp. Chen Yu moved both hands, and with a *clatter*, the gun in his hands fell to the ground in pieces.

Chen Yu followed up with a slap to the face, teaching Huang Yu how to be a person in a matter of minutes.

With a thud, Huang Yu sprawled on the ground, five bright red finger marks appearing on his face.

Chen Yu snatched the backpack from his back and took the Ghost Clan Horn out of it.

"Chen Yu, give this thing back to me; you can't afford to provoke the buyer behind the scenes." Huang Yu hissed and roared.

"I can't afford to offend them? I'm afraid you're just reluctant to let go of this fat piece of meat. To make your Huang Family abandon your old profession of grave robbing and willingly cooperate with the archaeological department, all just to find a horn like looking for a needle in a haystack—the price the other party offered must be very high, right?" Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Are you planning to rob me in broad daylight? I'm telling you, Chen Yu, this is illegal." Huang Yu climbed up from the ground, looking at Chen Yu with an unwilling expression.

"Illegal possession of a firearm, attempted murder by hiring—you're talking to me about the law now?" Chen Yu said coldly: "Where do you get the confidence?"

Huang Yu didn't say a word; his face was full of hatred, but he was unwilling and had no other choice. He knew clearly how far the gap was between him and Chen Yu.

"Before I decide I want to kill you, get lost." Chen Yu said coldly.

"Fine, Chen Yu, I'll remember you. Just you wait." Huang Yu looked at Chen Yu with hatred. He was very angry, but he couldn't do anything about Chen Yu.

He turned around and left bitterly. Zhang Desheng said with some confusion: "Xiao Yu, why did you let him go? He has already broken the law."

"Zhang Lao, the Huang Family's luck has run out. Don't worry about him; he won't be able to jump around for many more days." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "As for this thing, I'm afraid you cannot take it back."

"Xiao Chen, I don't think you are the kind of person who would disregard national righteousness for the sake of profit." Zhang Desheng's expression became grave: "The thing in your hand is proof of the Ghost Clan's existence."

"In fact, there have been records of the Ghost Kingdom in some unofficial histories long ago, but the legends of the Ghost Clan are so mysterious that official history just treats these unofficial histories as after-dinner entertainment."

"If you hand over what you have to me, it will trigger a historical revolution."

"Zhang Lao, I think you have misunderstood me." Chen Yu sighed slightly and said: "I took this thing not to trade it for money, but because the existence of the Ghost Clan itself does not conform to the development of nature."

"Since the development of the world has caused the Ghost Clan to disappear into history, wouldn't it be better to let it remain buried in the dust forever? Besides, if one is not careful, these things will bring you fatal disaster."

"And have you thought about it? If the horns are gathered and the Ghost Clan reappears, how much of an impact would that have on our world?"

Zhang Desheng stopped talking. What Chen Yu said indeed had its logic. Although somewhat unwilling, he still nodded helplessly and said: "Fine, Xiao Chen, what you said is correct. I'll listen to you."

"Thank you for understanding, Zhang Lao. I won't keep this thing on me either; there will naturally be people above who will handle it." Chen Yu said.

"That's good, I'll leave it to you to handle." Zhang Desheng nodded.

They called for a helicopter and rushed back without stopping.

After sending the soul that Bai Jingxian had lost back into her body, Bai Jingxian finally woke up slowly.

Her complexion had also returned to a rosy state, but when Chen Yu took her pulse, he inadvertently discovered a blood-colored mark on her wrist.

This blood-colored mark was a special symbol, just like the iconic giant eye of the Ghost Clan.

"Jingxian, are you alright? You really scared me to death." Ning Ruoxue grabbed Bai Jingxian's hand, nearly in tears.

"I think I had a dream." Bai Jingxian murmured: "A bizarre world, some strange-looking people."

"You said it was a dream, so don't think too much about it. From now on, quit this job of yours; I'll support you." Ning Ruoxue said angrily: "You're prone to bumping into ghosts yourself, yet you deal with corpses every day?"

"I didn't expect it either." Bai Jingxian leaned into her arms, and she glanced at Chen Yu: "Thank you, Chen Yu."

"No need to thank me. You are Ruoxue's best friend, which means you are my best friend too; helping you is what I should do." Chen Yu nodded: "You need to rest well; your Primordial Qi is severely damaged."

"You rest for a while, I'll go with Chen Yu to get some medicine." Ning Ruoxue patted her head, then went out with Chen Yu.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Ning Ruoxue asked.

Between her and Chen Yu, there was no longer a need for too many words; often, a single exchange of glances was enough for the other to understand the meaning.

"How much do you know about her background?" Chen Yu's expression became serious.

"Her adoptive parents are both overseas Chinese, but she holds Huaxia nationality. No one knows who her biological father is. Why?" Ning Ruoxue was startled to see Chen Yu's serious expression.

"When I went to retrieve her soul today, I inadvertently saw her memories." Chen Yu said: "Her identity might be related to the Ghost Clan that has already disappeared."

"Ghost Clan? The one recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas?" Ning Ruoxue was shocked: "How is that possible? She is a normal person."

"I'm not clear on the specifics, but her memories before the age of 8 were indeed sealed by someone. You must not mention this matter in front of her; we'll talk about it after we have a chance to find out the truth." Chen Yu said.

"Fine, I understand." Ning Ruoxue nodded slightly and said: "I've known her for so long and never knew about her childhood. So, she actually has such a complicated identity."

"It's no wonder; her constitution is prone to attracting evil spirits. You must be careful when you are with her." Chen Yu thought for a moment and said: "I'll upgrade the Amulet I gave you later to avoid any incidents."

"Mm, that lady from the He Family came to see me today." Ning Ruoxue's words startled Chen Yu.

"She came to see you? What did she want with you?" Chen Yu asked.

"Just casual chatting. She said she felt that my relationship with you was unusual, so she came to see me." Ning Ruoxue raised her head and said: "Do you want to hear how I felt about her?"

"I do. How did you feel after meeting her?" Chen Yu took a deep breath, calming his mood.

"I think it's necessary for you to go and do another paternity test with her." Ning Ruoxue held Chen Yu's hand and said: "You and she are too much alike."

"But, why was the result last time... like that?" Chen Yu was somewhat confused.

"Have you thought about it?" Ning Ruoxue raised her head to look at Chen Yu: "What if there is someone who doesn't want the two of you to recognize each other?"

Chen Yu felt a jolt in his heart; Ning Ruoxue's words made him react instantly.

Yes, what if those people manipulating his Life from behind the scenes prevent them from meeting? It seems I will have to find another way for this matter.

In the evening, inside a private room at a hotel, Chen Yu took out the Ghost Clan Horn and placed it on the table.

"Where did you get this thing?" Su Yan saw the Horn Chen Yu had placed on the table, and she could not help but be startled.
