Then, Shen Lian prepared some black dog blood, incense ashes, peach wood nails, and some other items such as ink lines stained with cinnabar and rooster's blood, which he kept in a bag.

These items were the "Magic Treasures" that Shen Lian had recorded on the Seven Apertures Mystical Caverns.

What was prepared was an effective against evil spirits and ghosts.

After making his preparations, Shen Lian drew a circle outside the main entrance. From his backpack, he took out six small red flags, neatly placed them outside the circle, and then placed the six copper coins inside the circle.

This circle was called the "Six Elements Formation".

It was a symbol of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The purpose of Shen Lian's actions was to negotiate with that item. Even though the negotiations might not succeed, he still had to be courteous before he made his move.

This was because Shen Lian knew that this time, they were going to have a 'negotiation'.

He had already mentally prepared himself for the great danger. In fact, Shen Lian was also very curious about the origin of that thing. At the same time, he was also faintly anticipating meeting it for a while!

After he was done, Shen Lian sat in the circle of the Six Elements Formation and waited … Because Luo Yunshan had previously followed Shen Lian's instructions and dispersed all the members of the Jinlan Bay Holiday Inn, it seemed very empty and quiet outside the huge door.

Soon, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, the main gate of the Jinlan Bay Holiday Inn was closed, and even the lights inside were all turned off. Even the windows in the surrounding area did not let out even the slightest bit of light, making them look exceptionally eerie and quiet.

Shen Lian found enough food in the hotel kitchen and wolfed down his food. He wanted to maintain his best condition.

As for Luo Yunshan, who was sitting inside the array, he was anxiously waiting. However, he did not dare to make any sound, because Shen Lian had already warned him to not make any noise.

After eating, Shen Lian took out the incense and paper money he had prepared earlier.

He stuck the stick of incense in the mud outside the circle and scattered the paper money beside it. Then he took out a lighter.

Shen Lian used a lighter to light up the incense before slowly burning the paper money.

This was a way to negotiate with the vengeful spirit. Shen Lian intended to "have a good talk" with it.

As the incense stick and the paper money burned, the previously clear and cloudy sky suddenly turned dark. The moon and the stars were now hidden in thick layers of clouds.

The visibility outside the hotel was extremely low, and a chilly wind began to blow in the surroundings … A gust of cold wind blew into the man's body, bringing with it a chill that seeped into his bones.

It was currently a hot summer day. This kind of cold wind was already very unusual when it blew. Moreover, Shen Lian suddenly smelt an indescribable fishy stench between his nose.

It was a strange smell, very much like rotten apples after a long period of decay.

Furthermore, in the cold wind, the smell was getting stronger and stronger. Shen Lian knew in his heart that there were no rotten apples in the Jinlan Bay Holiday Inn.

Shen Lian immediately realized that it was very possible that the vengeful spirit had appeared. Hence, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and look around.

But strangely, he did not see anything out of the ordinary!

The cold wind was blowing harder, and the stench in the air was getting stronger.

At that moment, I suddenly saw a particularly cold aura engulf the stick of incense in front of me.

Afterwards, the burning incense actually began to emit crackling sounds.

Soon after, it was completely extinguished, leaving behind the remaining half of the incense.

The burning paper money also went out, as if it had been splashed with water.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian immediately knew that the vengeful spirit had appeared. Moreover, it was in a corner around him, greedily eyeing him … Thus, Shen Lian raised his head, facing his front, he said slowly: "Lin Xiuer, you're here, let's talk!"

Just as Shen Lian said this name, she heard a cold snort coming from the air ahead. The sound was like an ice blade, causing one to feel as if they had fallen into an icehouse.

As soon as the cold snort fell, a gust of wind swept across the field, blowing the paper money on the floor into the air. Even the incense sticks that had been extinguished and were stuck in the ground were scattered all over the place.

"Lin Xiuer, what do you mean by that?"

Shen Lian's expression turned solemn as he spoke coldly to the front.

"Phew …" "Phew …"

Another wave of cold wind blew past, blowing apart the "Six Directions Formation" that had been set up in front of them.

The six little red flags.

Seeing this, Shen Lian was secretly shocked. He knew that the appearance of this phenomenon meant that the thing did not wish to negotiate with him!

"Lin Xiuer, it looks like you don't plan on talking to us properly!"

Shen Lian's face turned solemn.

"Creak …" "Creak …"

At this time, a weird sound came out from behind a big tree opposite the hotel entrance, followed by a burst of gray pernicious fog s.

The pernicious fog quickly spread out, dyeing the entire area near the entrance of the hotel like a ghost.

As it was already night, the darkness and the gray pernicious fog blended together. The visibility immediately decreased a lot, giving people a vague feeling of being covered by clouds and mist.

"Hiss …"

Suddenly, Luo Yunshan's clothes, which were placed outside the gate, were his "Body Substitute Talisman".

It was actually torn apart by an invisible terrifying force, scattering in all directions.

"Wow …"

Within the darkness, a cold and terrifying whistling sound could be heard. Evidently, the vengeful spirit had discovered the 'Body Substitute Talisman'!

Unlike Luo Yunshan himself, he felt extremely angry.

"Lin Xiuer, I'm warning you, don't refuse a toast and be punished!"

Shen Lian knew that this phenomenon meant that the vengeful spirit was about to appear. To be honest, he was feeling rather nervous, but he still put on a calm expression and spoke loudly to the front.

"Humph …"

What answered him was actually a cold, sinister laugh … Shen Lian immediately recognized that the laughter should be that of a woman. Furthermore, it was quite a young one!

After which, Shen Lian's nose smelled an unusual smell. This smell carried a bloody scent and there was an indescribable rotten smell within it.

"Creak!"

Another strange cry cut through the night sky.

Hearing this strange sound, Shen Lian knew something was wrong. He could actually sense it. The vengeful spirit was rapidly approaching him.

Shen Lian hurriedly gathered his attention, took out a peach wood nail and held it up as a defense.

At this moment, something strange happened … A gust of cold wind came from the front and landed on Shen Lian's body.

Shen Lian was shocked to discover that after the cold wind landed on his body, it had produced a strange force that caused his limbs to become numb and stiff.

Shen Lian hurriedly moved his four limbs. He found that he could still move, but his joints had become very stiff, as if they had been forcefully pressed down by someone.

That cold wind became more violent, like an ice-cold blade, continuously penetrating into Shen Lian's body, causing his body to feel as if he was in a cave of ice, becoming stiffer and stiffer.

Shen Lian's heart skipped a beat. He immediately realized that the vengeful spirit did not intend to negotiate with him at all. Instead, it was directly attacking him!
