Chapter 178 - Massacre in the ghost lands Part 6

In a lavish mansion in the southern parts of Hongkong city, at 3 am, the devil's hour:

A short chubby man snored loudly, comfortably wedged in between two nȧkėd beauties.

His snot covered face slightly cringed as he suddenly heard a loud noise disturbing his pleasant slumber.

"Guards. What is that noise over there?" He mumbled with his pudgy face smeared in annoyance.

As he casually turned over and pulled the girl on the right towards him, a familiar face flashed across his half-opened eyes.

Huh?

Qin Jinguan immediately sat up straight as if an electric current passed through his body.

To his surprise, a hollow gaunt face from the past greeted him.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously with his chubby fingers, but the familiar face was still right there, staring at him in close proximity.

Wang Yu stood so close to him that Qin Jinguan could even feel the man's excited breathing, very obviously amped up due to the unrestrained bloodlust wildly rampaging through the room.

"You... You... How are you here??" Jinguan stuttered as if he had seen a ghost.

Damn it. He knew this was going to happen. This was all his elder brother's fault!!

Unlike his elder brother, Qin Jinguan was more of a practical and realistic guy.

Back then when his elder brother had murdered Wang Yu's entire family and only left him alive as some sort of sick sadistic joke, he had begged him not to.

And now just like he had forwarned, this guy stood in front of him after so many years.

Qin Jinguan shivered.

"Guards... Guards..." His panicked voice rang through the silence of the night.

But something told him that the mansion was already emptied except for him and the women beside him.

Alas, they had committed a grave mistake and it was too late to correct now. They should have finished this guy off as well a long time ago.

Wang Yu chuckled. "Without all of your dogs near you, not so strong are you?"

"How... What did you do to them??" Qin Jinguan eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Wang Yu remained silent without answering his question. Instead, he moved aside and allowed Jinguan to see the view behind him.

As Jinguan craned his neck in fear and peered behind him, he saw four figures clad in black robes and wearing Hahoe masks standing silently.

The thin rays of the moonlight which managed to escape the curtains cleary illuminated the dead bodies of the five guards who were protecting the mansion.

Jinguan's eyes widened in fear and his uneven breathing completely stopped.

His frightened eyes satisfied Wang Yu. The man who hadn't even smiled for years now roared with laughter like a maniac. 

Wang Yu leaned forward and held his sharp knife close to Qin Jinguan's throat. The cold blade ċȧrėssed his plump folds as his entire body jiggled.

"Don't you dare think I am that easy to bully!!" Jinguan yelled with his eyes completely bloodshot. The man was pushed to a corner and he was in an aggrieved frenzy.

He hastily pulled out a translucent orb from his nightstand and yelled incoherently. "Vengeful ghosts unleash your anger."

Under everyone's eyes, he threw the translucent orb at the nearest wall with full force.

Crash.

Though the orb did not break, it cracked slightly.

An eerie aura seeped from the seemingly normal orb as Wang Yu, Monkey, Rabbit and even Luther felt a slight chill down their spines.

The gloom and despair slowly turned very real as horrendous screams started echoing from the orb.

A powerful aura seeped out and instantly suppressed everyone holding them in place.

Watching everyone's expression changing, Qin Jinguan heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like he was safe for now.

This was his family's precious treasure that belonged to him. Too bad he had to use it now, but when it comes to life and death, he didn't dare skimp.

But even before he could finish sighing, something entirely unexpected happened in front of his eyes.

One of the black robed figures who was standing silently in a corner till now suddenly moved, even with the suppression of that powerful aura from the orb.

The figure casually stepped forward and picked up the orb, like she was picking up an apple.

How could someone like Su Lin who was from a cultivation world, not know how to deal with something like this?

"I will be taking this." She murmured.

The eerie darkness in the room instantly dissipated with the flickering moonlight shining through again.

Qin Jinguan looked at Su Lin with a terrified expression. His last hope, his final chance... all crushed to the ground. He was truly done for now.

Her polite smile which was revealed by the thin slit in Hahoe mask sent shivers down his spine.

Just what sort of a monster was this?? How could his family's precious treasure be so useless against them??

How could a useless guy with no background like Wang Yu know someone like this?

Qin Jinguan's terrified eyes pleadingly looked at Wang Yu one last time.

"I am sorry. I am sorry. It was all my elder brother. He forced my hand. He was the one who did everything. Please... Please." Jinguan stuttered as he tried to desperately beg for his life.

But the gaunt face of Wang Yu only revealed a satisfied smile.

"You are begging me for mercy now? What about my 5 year old son and 10 year old daughter? Why did you kill them? They were just children. What harm did they do to you?"
