Chapter 151: The Trouble Caused by the Lass

Qin Xuan drove the taxi at top speed toward Area 3 of the Mountain-Ringed Villas, which was where he lived.

Ten minutes later, Qin Xuan finally entered the mountain-ringed road. From afar, he could already sense some energy vibrations, seemingly originating from the direction of his villa.

It seemed the evil-repelling barrier had broken, and all the malevolent spirits in the surrounding area had stirred into action. Fortunately, the villa chosen by his master was located in a sparsely populated place; otherwise, it would probably make the front page of tomorrow's news.

Along the way, Qin Xuan's phone vibrated incessantly, but he had no time to answer it. Glancing sideways, he saw that Fu Qiang was calling repeatedly, which meant he too had noticed the abnormal activity around the villa.

Because Qin Xuan was not at the villa tonight, he had previously instructed Fu Qiang and his men to keep watch here. However, in a situation where the barrier failed, ordinary gangsters like Fu Qiang and his followers would be completely helpless.

Two minutes later, Qin Xuan finally caught sight of the three-story villa in the distance. At the same time, a gust of chill wind rushed at him, making it feel as though the malevolent spirits covering the mountains and plains were restless and excited.

The temptation of Profound Yin Qi was fatal to malevolent spirits and ghost cultivators!

"Get out of here, as far away as you can!"

As soon as Qin Xuan stepped out of the car, he saw Fu Qiang leading a bunch of underlings rushing over, and he shouted immediately.

"Boss, we..."

Fu Qiang still wanted to offer some help to prove his loyalty, and he followed Qin Xuan for a couple of steps.

"You'll just be walking to your deaths here. Go do whatever you need to do; I'm here, nothing will happen." After saying that, Qin Xuan tapped lightly with his feet, and his figure instantly darted toward the villa.

"Holy crap! Is he even human?" One of the underlings exclaimed in shock as he looked at Qin Xuan's speed.

"Is this even faster than the Olympic 100-meter champion?"

The group of underlings was dumbfounded on the spot.

"The boss told us to leave, so we leave. Everyone out of here, stop dawdling!"

Fu Qiang glanced at the villa from afar, only to see a gloomy expanse, as if tens of thousands of ghosts were wandering around, making it even more terrifying than the previous night and the night Leopard Brother disappeared.

He knew that Qin Xuan was no ordinary person and that staying here with his men would indeed just be a hindrance. A plan for expanding his underworld gang had already begun to take shape in his mind; rather than causing chaos here, it was better to go back and prepare properly.

Qin Xuan strode toward the villa. The surrounding area was filled with chilling gales; although invisible to the naked eye, Qin Xuan could be certain that countless ghosts had completely surrounded the villa and were charging inward.

The Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation finally came in handy after the evil-repelling barrier failed.

As long as a single ghost entered the range of the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation, it would directly disrupt the internal Yin-Yang balance of the formation and activate it.

At this very moment, ghost after ghost poured into the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation, completely triggering the grand formation. Streaks of gloomy purple light continuously burst from within the formation, representing ghosts being destroyed by it and having their souls scattered into oblivion.

This Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation could withstand attacks up to ten times Qin Xuan's strength at most.

However, right now, malevolent spirits across the mountains and plains were charging at the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation in a suicidal manner, and even an attack ten times Qin Xuan's strength would soon be more than the formation could hold.

"It doesn't seem like there's any particularly powerful aura..."

As Qin Xuan rushed toward the villa, he sensed the scene around it, feeling somewhat puzzled. Was it really not the Ghost King Qianhuang who had come?

Then why on earth had the evil-repelling barrier failed?

Qin Xuan did not understand the reason, but his top priority was to break into the villa and find Dongfang Qingwan, Liu Qianqian, and the others.

The closer he got to the villa, the more violent the surrounding chilling wind became, and the Yin energy was extremely dense.

"Get lost!"

Qin Xuan roared, ignoring his damaged meridians, and directly unleashed a move of "Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens." A beam of white radiance swept toward the entrance of the villa, wiping out all the ghosts along the way.

Qin Xuan suppressed the urge to vomit blood and broke into the villa at a run.

Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens was a very common sword technique that almost every swordsman knew. Although its power was not great, its advantage lay in the relatively low consumption of true qi, leaving Qin Xuan with no choice but to use this sword technique under the circumstances.

Even the slightest consumption of true qi almost made him spit blood, which showed just how severely injured he was. Normally, he could have lasted a bit longer in this state, but unfortunately, the two previous streaks of Profound Truth Sword Qi had added injury to his already worsening condition, making it impossible for him to mobilize any more true qi.

Otherwise, if his meridians snapped, not even Liu Wuhai could save him.

"Lass! Qingwan! Shuixian!"

Enduring the howling chilling winds, Qin Xuan entered the villa and shouted at the top of his lungs. Only after stepping into the range of the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation did he feel the surrounding pressure instantly vanish.

"It seems the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation can still hold for a while..."

Thinking to himself, Qin Xuan stepped into the living room.

At this moment, the living room was brightly lit. Dongfang Qingwan and Shuixian were pacing anxiously in circles, and upon seeing Qin Xuan, they hurried over.

"Qin Xuan, what should we do now?"

Dongfang Qingwan asked anxiously first. As an ordinary person, she naturally couldn't sense how critical the situation was outside, but from the gloomy purple lights occasionally bursting from the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation and the howling chilling winds, she roughly knew things were going badly.

"Where's the lass?"

Qin Xuan looked around, failing to find Liu Qianqian's figure.

"Sister Liu is in the back garden, Master, please go take a look..." Shuixian extended her slender, jade-like finger and looked toward the direction of the back garden with a worried expression.

"Follow me, don't stay here."

Qin Xuan could sense that the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation was already in a crumbling state, and if Dongfang Qingwan remained in the living room, it would likely be extremely dangerous.

Once the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation broke, Dongfang Qingwan would undoubtedly be instantly surrounded by evil ghosts, sucking dry her Profound Yin Qi along with all her life essence, before turning into a mummified corpse.

With an extremely solemn expression, Qin Xuan led the two women to the back garden, only to find that the previously hidden wine cellar had been opened, and a series of strange sounds were echoing from within.

"Could it be..."

Qin Xuan's heart skipped a beat. When he had come here to fetch wine previously, he had seen a gemstone emitting a cyan-green light, and at the time he had guessed it was the main component of the villa's barrier.

Could something have gone wrong with that cyan-green gemstone?

"Follow me inside!"

Qin Xuan shouted, and then stepped into the cellar.

If the Ziwei Yin-Yang Formation was destroyed, this underground wine cellar would be their final stronghold to protect Dongfang Qingwan.

Not only was the entrance of this underground wine cellar narrow, making it easier to fend off the onslaught of ghost hordes, but for some unknown reason, there existed a majestic and righteous aura within the cellar. This righteous aura alone was enough to keep the ghost hordes from entering.

As long as they could hold out until dawn, they would buy a whole day's time to rearrange the formation.

"Lass, what's going on?"

Descending into the underground wine cellar, Qin Xuan saw at a glance that Liu Qianqian was fiddling with a gemstone radiating cyan-green light, which should be the center of the evil-repelling barrier.

"Little Qin Xuan, don't scold me..."

Liu Qianqian turned around and said pitifully, "I accidentally touched this thing, and then the evil-repelling barrier broke..."

"..."

Qin Xuan was left speechless. After all that trouble, it turned out this lass was the one who caused the disaster. Qin Xuan knew now was not the time to blame her; he glared fiercely at her before walking toward the entrance of the cellar.

"I don't understand the evil-repelling barrier either. Hurry up and prepare to follow me to the cellar entrance to hold the line. As long as we last until tomorrow morning..."

Before he could finish his sentence, a gloomy, sinister laugh suddenly rang out from outside the villa: "Jie jie! Jie jie! Heaven helps me, Ghost King Qianhuang! The evil-repelling barrier has actually vanished, jie jie!"

Qin Xuan's expression shifted drastically. Things were in serious trouble now.
