"Master, Master!" Yama's Pen waved its little hand.

Jiang Yuan snapped out of her daze, raised her hand and patted the little head of the Yama Pen, smiling gently, "Let's not talk about that, you've come at just the right time."

Regardless of what exactly happened, the fact that Xiao Bi is back and has been promoted is a good thing.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yuan brought her fingers together and flicked them, causing the Yama's Pen to glow.

In the blink of an eye, a pen with a crystal-clear body and bristles as white as snow was held in Jiang Yuan's hand.

The moment Jiang Yuan grasped it, she felt the power of the Yama's Pen.

It's so much more powerful than before!

Jiang Yuan smiled, picked up her brush, and drew a talisman on the paper.

Each stroke is fluid and graceful, as if they were alive.

The talisman glowed briefly before dimming again.

Jiang Yuan didn't stop drawing, but kept drawing one picture after another until she finished the tenth one.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Yuan's Yama Pen disappeared before his eyes.

Then, she placed the talismans in the four corners of the room to guard the four sides, and then placed two more talismans on the foreheads of Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue. The remaining four talismans were placed on the door and the large window in front of them.

The moment Jiang Yuan posted it, a cold wind swept by.

Jiang Yuan looked at the vast, open space, then at the banks of the great river.

As the sun set, the sky turned orange-red, and the sea shimmered.

Seeing this scene in one's spare time would surely bring joy to both mind and body.

pity--

This is not a time for leisure.

Jiang Yuan withdrew her gaze, pulled the curtains shut in front of the glass window, plunging the entire room into darkness.

Jiang Yuan reached out and turned on the light, the warm light illuminating the surroundings.

Then, Jiang Yuan extinguished the incense that was originally lit, lit a twig, and placed it in the incense burner.

If you burn different kinds of incense together, the smells will become mixed and chaotic.

Soon, the fragrance filled the room.

Afterwards, Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closed her eyes, and muttered incantations.

The curse that Madam Ning and Ning Yue were under was a soul-separating curse.

How can a soul awaken after leaving the body?

Even a full-body checkup wouldn't reveal anything wrong.

The problem lies in their souls.

She had just infused Ning Yue with spiritual power in an attempt to bring her soul back.

Unexpectedly, it was interrupted.

However, it wasn't a complete loss.

She knew that the souls of Old Madam Ning and Ning Yue were imprisoned.

To find out where their souls are imprisoned, we need to find the person who captured them!

She didn't explain in too much detail to Jiang Ningyuan, precisely because she was afraid he would worry too much, and also—

The fewer people who know about these kinds of spells, the better.

Detain the living soul, imprison the living soul.

This is a grave taboo!

As Jiang Yuan uttered the sound, the surroundings seemed to freeze, and even the air and time seemed to pass by exceptionally slowly.

Silence, nothing but silence.

In another location.

It was so dark, like being in an abyss, that even stepping into the room required immense courage.

Just then, the tightly closed door was opened, and a burly, menacing-looking man stepped into the room and asked, "Old man, what do you need so much stuff for?"

Despite the room being dark and pitch black, the man who entered seemed to know where the person inside was, his gaze fixed on the left front.

He received a call from the old man twenty minutes earlier, saying he needed sandalwood incense, the older the better, as well as some other things he didn't even know the names of normally, and that he needed them urgently, and that he had to find them within an hour.

The old man didn't explain why, only saying "I need it urgently" before hanging up.

He dared not be negligent. Whether he could win first place in the Dragon Head Tournament and become the leader of the four cities depended on this old man.

After the old man hung up, he immediately mobilized the gang members to buy what he wanted.

It must be said that these things are not only hard to find, but also expensive.

If Chengfeng didn't have some family wealth, he wouldn't have squandered it like this.

He spent so much money to tell me what he wanted, he should at least give him a reason.

"The Ning family has invited a master back to remove the curse I placed on Ning Chuxin and Ning Yue." A faint yet hoarse voice echoed in the dark room.

"A master? What kind of master could be more powerful than you?" Chen Mingxian raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

The old man's ability to cast spells from a distance is something that no one else in the world could possibly do.

Even Chen Yongsheng is probably not as powerful as him.

“That expert is no ordinary person.” The old man opened his eyes, his sharp gaze falling on Chen Mingxian.

Despite the darkness, his eyes could see clearly in the dark.

Chen Mingxian's expression was clearly visible to him.

"Unusual?" Chen Mingxian raised an eyebrow.

If the old man said it was extraordinary, then the other party must be no small fry.

"Are you confident you can win?" Chen Mingxian asked.

He was more concerned with the outcome than with who the other person was or how extraordinary they were.

Can the old man beat his opponent?

The meeting of the leaders is imminent, and the people from the other two cities have already gone to H City. We must not let Ning Chuxin wake up at this time.

If she wakes up, they will have absolutely no chance of winning first place.

The thought of Ning Chuxin gives Chen Mingxian a psychological trauma.

Wherever Ning Chuxin is, he feels like he can't win.

Not only him, but the leaders of the other two cities were the same.

These years have been overshadowed by Ning Chuxin.

He had heard a little about the fact that the young master of the Ning family had returned to the Ning family.

He never expected that the young master of the Ning family, whom the Ning family had been keeping hidden away, would actually be the popular movie star Jiang Ningyuan.
