After getting the marriage certificate in the morning, Han Jun went to work as usual in the afternoon. While she was at work, Xu Qian was doing feng shui in a seven-story building at the end of the financial street.
This old building was once the first modern-style commercial building in Wangdong City. It has extraordinary significance in Wangdong City. It has stood on this street for more than 150 years. It was once the site of the Dongfang family pawnshop.
Later, the Dongfang family grew bigger and bigger, and the seven-story building seemed too small, so they built another skyscraper and moved the headquarters.
The old building changed hands several times before being bought again by a gold jewelry maker over 80 years ago. However, the owner of that company was a pervert. He was caught having sex with his secretary in the building by his pregnant wife.
No one knows what exactly happened that day. In short, when the subordinates found something wrong and ran to the boss's office to check the situation, the boss and the mistress were lying on the ground, already dead, and the boss's wife, who was about to give birth, was hanged under the ceiling light.
Even more amazing things are yet to come.
When the police and the medical examiner arrived at the scene, they discovered that the baby in the boss's wife's belly was still alive. The baby was eventually delivered by caesarean section and named Qiao Qisheng.
The child was later fostered in a relative's home in Junyang City. When he grew up, Qiao Qisheng founded a jewelry company, which is now the world-famous jewelry brand "Crown of Love".
Ever since the murder, the old building has been plagued by unrest. Over the decades, as businesses have moved into the building, strange incidents have occurred, but they've always been minor pranks, never resulting in loss of life.
However, recently, this building has been plagued by bizarre incidents, some of which have resulted in fatalities. First, an elevator collapsed for no apparent reason, killing five employees. Two days later, a fire broke out inside the building for no apparent reason, nearly killing an employee working the night shift.
People in the company were in a panic and rumors were spreading. The boss had no choice but to spend a high price to invite the head of the Kunlun Xu family to come and check out the situation.
As soon as Xu Qian opened the door to the office where Boss Qiao had died, he was assaulted by an overwhelming surge of resentment. His brows knitted together, and he immediately threw out a yellow talisman. It was covered with a dense array of runes outlined in dark red cinnabar; it was the most common talisman for suppressing spirits.
Ordinary spirit-suppressing talismans can only suppress minor evil spirits, but the runes drawn by Xu Qian himself are much more powerful than those of other cultivators, so dealing with ordinary evil spirits is not a problem.
The yellow talisman hung in the void in the center of the office. The paper swayed and floated continuously. Before long, it spontaneously combusted without any fire. Seeing this, Xu Qian immediately drew his Guiyi Sword. The black longsword appeared, instantly stealing away the white light inside and outside the room.
The sky within a radius of five kilometers seemed to have suddenly changed, with dark clouds covering the entire area and no sun visible.
Han Jun was sitting in the conference room when she noticed that the light outside the floor-to-ceiling window suddenly became dim. She looked towards the building at the far end of the street and saw that the aura there became distorted. She guessed that this commotion must have been caused by Xu Qian.
She couldn't help but worry about the situation on Xu Qian's side.
Xu Qian used the Guiyi Sword to slash his left index finger, a gash opening on the white fingertip and spilling hot, crimson blood into the office. Xu Qian's blood had the power to purify evil spirits.
The resentful evil spirits, when contaminated by his blood, immediately covered their heads and screamed.
To Xu Qian, the scream was so piercing that it nearly shattered his eardrums. But the group of people standing behind Xu Qian couldn't see a thing. They couldn't see, but they could sense the changes in the surrounding magnetic field.
The scream was so sharp that it broke an antique vase in the office.
Snap——
Seeing the vase explode, the people behind Xu Qian turned pale with fear. They stuffed their hands into their pockets and clenched their fists, fearing that others would discover their cowardice.
Gradually, the evil spirits returned to silence.
They squatted on the ground, slowly raised their heads, and their eyes no longer held the resentment they had previously held. They bowed deeply in Xu Qian's direction, and then their souls grew fainter and fainter, almost dispersing.
Xu Qian suddenly said to the people behind him: "You wait outside." After that, Xu Qian walked into the office and closed the door tightly.
The three earthbound spirits stared at Xu Qian with bewildered expressions, unsure of what he was planning. Fearing that Xu Qian intended to reduce them to ashes, they all wore expressions of terror and fear.
Xu Qian looked indifferently at these three souls who should have been reincarnated long ago but were bound to this old house due to various obsessions, revealing a gloomy look.
These days, Wangdong City has been particularly restless. Some of the originally weak vengeful spirits have become much stronger. They seem to have been infected by something and awakened the evil nature in their bodies.
Xu Qian guessed that the thing should be the powerful evil spirit.
Xu Qian kept these three people because he had something to ask.
"Who are you working for?"
Upon hearing this, the three evil spirits all showed expressions of fear. They were angry but dared not speak out. Some words were on the tip of their tongues, but because they were afraid of something, they did not dare to speak out.
Xu Qian added: "If you don't tell me, I will kill you first!" For these evil spirits that take the lives of innocent people, even if Xu Qian wipes them out from this world, he will not suffer any backlash.
The three men shuddered, and the male boss, with a pale face, spoke tremblingly, "Two weeks ago, a... a girl came to us and asked us to do something for her. If we didn't do it obediently, she would kill us!"
"It's true!" The proprietress spoke next.
