Chapter 275: Teach You a Trick

As Yu Lin spoke, the solemn atmosphere in the room stalled.

Then it became relaxed.

Now it's secure!

A technician responsible for on-site data analysis immediately stood up, holding a tablet and strode forward to report:

"Chief, according to energy monitoring and cross-referencing with ancient texts, it is basically confirmed that the Gui Wang hiding in the Ghost Nest beneath the Dragon Vein has at least Five Qi Realm strength!"

"Moreover, it has occupied this place for a thousand years, forming a strange symbiosis with the Dragon Vein, allowing it to amplify itself by borrowing the Dragon Vein's qi."

"Overall assessment: its peak combat power, bolstered by the Ghost Nest and Dragon Vein, could reach around the middle of the Tai Xu Realm!"

He paused, then continued: "According to the plan, to reseal or even exterminate it, conservatively estimated, we need two Tai Xu Realm experts to act simultaneously."

"So besides you, we have urgently contacted Tang Jiuzhong, the True Person; he is rushing over at full speed."

"We estimate that once he arrives, we can……"

"I understand." Yu Lin listened quietly, gave a slight nod to show comprehension. But immediately, he changed the subject:

"However——"

"Let the True Person not come."

The reporting technician froze, instinctively asking: "Ah? Why… why?"

Yu Lin gave no explanation, merely turned and walked toward outside the tent, leaving only a light sentence echoing in everyone's ears:

"I'll handle it myself."

Before his words faded, his figure vanished like green smoke at the doorway.

The people in the meeting room stared at each other, then reacted, all rushing out of the meeting room.

Only then did they see Yu Lin already standing aloft in midair, his robes fluttering in the fierce mountain wind.

His gaze fell upon the mountain range below.

That Dragon Vein resembled a sleeping giant dragon, its ridges winding; faint golden earth qi could be seen flowing like breath, containing immense heavenly and earthly qi.

Yet beneath this harmonious earth qi lay a sprawling, ink‑dark ghost domain—the Ghost Nest.

Countless vengeful spirits' black shadows writhed and screamed within; the thick killing qi like black claws ceaselessly eroded and entwined with the Dragon Vein's golden earth qi, creating a twisted feeling, as if a heavy black shackle had been placed upon the dragon!

To Yu Lin, it was useless.

Even without any spells or divine abilities, the brocade robe sent by the Seventh Fairy Maiden that he wore—if it dared approach the Gui Wang below, the Gui Wang would dare to die before Yu Lin's eyes.

Since helping Dong Yong become the City God, two‑thirds of the merit from all of Dong Yong's subsequent good deeds have been given to him.

Originally, taking one‑third would have sufficed, but Dong Yong said he had no use for merit, so Yu Lin took the lion's share.

At the moment he returned, merit surged in on its own, all pouring into the Immortal Robe—this alone amounted to nearly two thousand years of accumulated merit!

Consequently, the Immortal Robe can now be called a Supreme Merit Treasure; wearing it allows one to instantly attain Buddhahood.

But now, he wishes to continue his experiment.

Just as the people on the ground held their breath, wondering what earth‑shaking great spell Yu Lin would unleash——

Yu Lin merely gave a light wave of his hand toward the entire mountain area where the Dragon Vein lay.

There was no earth‑shattering roar, no dazzling blaze of light.

In everyone's sight, the vast Dragon Vein stretching for miles, containing immense earth qi, together with the mountains and forests upon it, vanished into thin air!

As if an invisible giant hand had erased it straight from the map!

All that remained was a colossal, bottomless heavenly pit!

Uh? What happened? Where's the Dragon Vein?

They knew nothing.

And the Ghost Nest, which had lain hidden beneath the Dragon Vein, nourished and protected by its qi, together with the Gui Wang cloaked in black ferocious armor and exhaling terrifying aura, was now utterly exposed, bare to the light of day!

The Gui Wang apparently hadn't reacted yet; it sensed the sudden disappearance of the Dragon Vein's protection and power source, and gazed at the unfamiliar sky above.

Its huge ghostly face was filled with utter bewilderment and confusion.

"I… my… such a huge Dragon Vein?! Ah? Where did it go?!"

The next second, boundless anger replaced the bewilderment!

The Gui Wang's scarlet ghostly eyes instantly locked onto the tiny figure in the air that made it feel extremely uneasy!

"How dare you ruin my foundation! Submit your life——!!" It unleashed a heaven‑shaking roar, wrapped in surging ghost qi, like a black meteor hurtling toward Yu Lin in the air!

Its claws tore the air, vowing to rip this clueless human into shreds!

Faced with this seemingly terrifying strike, Yu Lin's expression remained unchanged.

He merely gave another casual wave of his hand toward the Gui Wang and the vast Ghost Nest below.

Swish——!

Like a blackboard eraser wiping away chalk marks.

The mighty Gui Wang, together with the vast, chilling Ghost Nest, vanished without a trace in an instant under the gaze of countless horrified onlookers!

The sky cleared, leaving only the enormous heavenly pit as proof that something had once existed here.

Immediately afterward, Yu Lin waved his hand a third time.

The Dragon Vein that had disappeared, along with the mountain scenery upon it, reappeared out of nowhere, settling back firmly in place—as if it had never moved.

Only this time, the thousand‑year‑old tangled ghost qi beneath the Dragon Vein had been completely purged, leaving the Dragon Vein's earth qi pure and lively, flowing gently.

Yu Lin flickered and reappeared before the ground‑crowd, whose faces were still dazed, wearing a faint air of having just finished a trivial matter, and casually said:

"All right, the trouble is settled."

He looked at those still not back to their senses and added,

"Uh, right, go fetch a few speakers; I have a use for them."

The crowd: "………………"

Only when Yu Lin spoke again did they jolt awake from the extreme shock.

The staff almost instinctively stood at attention, their voices trembling as they replied:

"Yes! Yes! We'll get ready right away!!"

"Chief is mighty!"

Although they couldn't fathom what cleaning a ghost nest had to do with the speakers, at this moment whatever Yu Lin said is what it is!

As for the Civil Affairs Bureau and the other Qi practitioners, they stepped forward and asked:

"Senior, what technique was that you just used?"

Although Yu Lin is only about twenty in their eyes, in cultivation the accomplished take precedence, so calling him senior is not mistaken.

Yu Lin walked into the meeting room, leaving only these words:

"Nothing much, just the universe in my sleeve."

"The universe in my sleeve?!"

"You call this nothing?!"

Everyone tugged at their lips, wanting to call him pretentious, but since they couldn't beat Yu Lin, they held it back.

Even if one becomes an immortal, few immortals can master this universe-in-the-sleeve.

Yu Lin can learn it with Tai Xu Realm cultivation............. All we can say is, he truly lives up to being a man who possesses a miracle.

But what exactly does he want to do with the speaker?

Everyone didn't understand, until a moment later.

Yu Lin looked at the few speakers ahead and nodded in satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"Today I'll teach you one move, the best method to deal with fierce ghosts."

"Watch well, learn well."

"Yes!" Everyone immediately focused their attention on him.

Seeing him tweak the speaker, the music began to play.

"Arise, those who refuse to..........."

The music dissipated.

Because Yu Lin tossed the speaker into the space containing the ghost nest, he grinned at everyone and asked: "Have you learned it?"

"It'll definitely be useful.
