Chapter 78
This indescribable feeling of annoyance made Rong Jing's expression suddenly become even colder. He stood in front of the door of the Lan family's ancestral home, stretched out his hand to roll up his sleeves, and his eyes met with Lan Qinghong who came to greet him.
Lan Qinghong had a smile on his face, and he seemed to have completely forgotten that Rong Jing had caused him and the Lan family to suffer a great loss at the metaphysics exchange event a few months ago.
"The special department's masters have finally arrived. It's really a great honor for us." He smiled and said politely, then looked at Rong Jing deeply, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Master Rong to come too."
Rong Jing withdrew his gaze from the layout of the courtyard, and nodded when he heard what Lan Qinghong said: "I just happened to come to Southern Province. I heard that it's the birthday of the head of the Lan family, so of course I have to come and congratulate him."
"After all, I have some old ties with the Lan family." He has never been a talkative person, and even when he spoke at this moment, his expression was indifferent.
But inexplicably, the guests passing by felt an unfriendly aura from this young Taoist priest who looked extremely dignified and indifferent.
But when they looked carefully, they could only see Rong Jing's slightly drooping eyebrows and hear his last words that seemed to be reminiscing about the past: "What do you think, Young Master Lan?"
The expression on Lan Qinghong's face finally paused, and his smile faded: "What Master Rong Tian said... is naturally correct."
Lan Qinghe beside him was already provoked by Rong Jing's words, and there was already a hint of anger on his face. Just as he was about to say something, his hand was pressed by Lan Qinghong.
Lan Qinghe held back his words.
Rong Jing didn't care about the interaction between them. After calmly speaking to Lan Qinghong, he reached into his suit pocket and took out a few talismans that emitted a faint spiritual light.
"Since it is Patriarch Lan's birthday, we can't come empty-handed. These two Soul Restoring Talismans and Yin-Transmuting Talismans will be my gifts to Patriarch Lan."
The Soul Restoring Talisman is an ancient talisman that has been lost for a long time, and the Yin-Transforming Talisman is no less valuable. If these two talismans were brought to the trade fair after the metaphysical exchange event, and Rong Jing had not set a reserve price, who knows what kind of sky-high price they would fetch.
Using these two talismans as gifts, even if any other noble family gave them, it could be considered a generous gift, giving enough face to the Lan family.
but……
The Lan family got into trouble before because Rong Jing directly revealed the source of the magic weapon that the Lan family took to the trade fair.
And because of the other party's interference, not only did they not get any classics to strengthen themselves, but the magic tools they traded had to be returned under the pressure of many heavenly masters.
The magic weapon's spiritual light has dimmed, but the Lan family still needs to spend another 15 million to exchange talismans from the instigator to restore the magic weapon's spiritual light. Isn't the talisman they exchanged for a restoration talisman?
This was simply a stab in Lan Qinghong's heart. Besides, every ordinary Heavenly Master knew that the Lan family was a family that controlled ghosts, and the most common ghosts in the family were evil spirits. What was Rong Jing's intention in giving them the Yin-transforming Talisman that could convert evil ghosts? !
If this gift was given to any other noble family or Heavenly Master, they would think Rong Jing was very generous, but this time he gave it to the Lan family. In Lan Qinghong's eyes, these two Soul-Restoring Talismans and Yin-Transforming Talismans were nothing short of a provocation.
But Lan Qinghong couldn't say anything more.
Both of these talismans are long-lost spiritual talismans. Even if the Lan family does not need them, they can directly exchange them for corresponding resources after the birthday, which can also be considered a great gift.
So Lan Qinghong could only suppress the anger in his heart, and reached out to take the talismans with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Rong Tian, for your generous gift. Our Lan family...will definitely remember it in our hearts."
The air around them seemed to turn cold in an instant, but Rong Jing didn't seem to notice anything. He glanced at him gently with his amber eyes, and then said "hmm" lightly.
Zhou Songyun, Long Tianshi and others had walked behind Rong Jing when he was talking to Lan Qinghong. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two seemed to be a little stagnant, they took the lead and walked up to break the deadlock: "Young Master Lan, we meet again."
Master Long Tian pursed his lips and smiled, and together with Miaoyin, he presented his gift.
Strictly speaking, Master Yuankong, Master Long, Taoist Miaoyin, and even Master Bai Tian, whom Rong Jing was not very familiar with, were all very famous masters in the world of metaphysics. Naturally, the gifts they sent were of no low quality.
Just look at what these people gave?
Master Long Tian was fine. She specialized in the art of Gu, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Gu techniques were still considered to be rather sinister and not suitable as gifts, so what she took out were some rare medicinal herbs that only Gu insects could sense. When Lan Qinghong took it, his expression brightened a little.
But Miaoyin, who handed over the gift with her, directly gave her the result of her practice in the past few months -
Three soul-restoring talismans that were slightly weaker in power than the one Rong Jing used.
Lan Qinghong: "..."
Master Yuankong is a monk who is compassionate and has great prestige in the metaphysical world. When Lan Qinghong received a string of Buddhist prayer beads from him, his expression was a little unresponsive.
Master Yuankong chanted a Buddhist name and said, "This is a rosary that was personally offered on the altar by a Buddhist disciple of Lingyin Temple. It was inspired by the incense of tens of thousands of people. It has the power to convert ghosts and cleanse evil spirits. Young Master Lan, please don't dislike it."
To convert evil spirits and cleanse the foul air...the Lan family employs evil ghosts, so isn't there a lot of evil spirits and foul air in their home?
However, Master Yuankong is a monk, and the gifts he brought out were related to Buddhism. This was a perfectly normal thing. What could Lan Qinghong say?
After accepting the rosary and placing it on the same tray with the talismans given by Taoist Miaoyin and Rong Jing, Lan Qinghong thanked Master Yuankong with a smile.
Master Bai Tian and Zhou Songyun naturally prepared gifts as well.
In fact, the gift Zhou Songyun prepared at the beginning included the weight of the entire special department including Rong Jing. But after Rong Jing presented the Soul-Restoring Talisman and the Yin-Transforming Talisman, Master Long Tianshi and others also handed in their gifts. Zhou Songyun watched their actions, and then silently reduced the gifts this time by two-thirds.
...After all, funds are limited and the country is not having an easy time.
However, precisely because these gifts were prepared in advance, when they were taken out, they actually became the most "normal" gift for the employees of the special department who came here this time. At least when Lan Qinghong saw the birthday red envelope he took out, his expression finally became a little more genuine.
Although Master Bai Tian did not have much background, the Taoism he learned was complicated. When he took action at this moment, he also sent a talisman array -
The kind that purifies negative energy.
Lan Qinghong was very sure that this group of people came to cause trouble.
Feeling a little annoyed, Lan Qinghong put all the gifts from the special department together, then smiled and led them through the front yard to the banquet in the main hall.
Many of the invited guests had already taken their seats. Now, seeing him bringing over a few unfamiliar people, and judging from their attitudes, it seemed that these people were of some importance. For a moment, they couldn't help but cast their glances over.
Lan Qinghong ignored the guests' gazes and led Rong Jing and others to the main table. He said, "It's rare for you from the special department to come here. Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in the hospitality."
He had an extremely magnanimous and elegant demeanor. Some of the Heavenly Masters and people from aristocratic families present also knew about the subtle relationship between the Lan family and the special department recently, but at this moment they had to feel a little shaken.
Perhaps the leakage of corpse qi was not intentional by the Lan family?
But when they saw Rong Jing and others sitting down, they did not dare to make any hasty conclusions.
After all, there were many people present who had dealt with the country before, and they knew that generally speaking, unless there was any real problem, the country would turn a blind eye to ordinary heavenly masters and even aristocratic families.
Now that something bad has happened to the Lan family, instead of keeping a low profile, they are holding a grand banquet on the occasion of the Lan family patriarch's birthday...
To be honest, when they came to the banquet, they were a little worried.
But thinking that there were more than just a few Heavenly Masters present, if the Lan Family really had any plans, they might be able to fight if they united. Thinking this way, this was actually a good opportunity to test the Lan Family's confidence.
There were many people who shared the same idea as them. Even people like Hong Tianshi, who had previously shown some dislike for the special department, just suppressed their dislike and watched the interaction between them and Lan Qinghong.
Lan Qinghong acted like a hospitable and courteous host, so the special department naturally would not reveal their attitude as an unwelcome guest at the beginning.
Although when they came to the door, both the Lan family and themselves knew this clearly in their hearts.
Rong Jing raised his eyelids slightly and said in a light tone, "Young Master Lan, you are too polite."
He was young and handsome. Even among a room full of aristocratic masters who were imbued with spiritual energy and whose looks and temperament were exceptionally outstanding among ordinary people, he was the most outstanding one.
At this moment, he raised his head with a faint expression, and the few strands of silver hair scattered around his ears gently fell in front of him as he moved, bringing out a sense of mystery and nobility.
It also further suppressed the aura of Lan Qinghong, who had an elegant and gentle smile on his face.
Realizing this, Lan Qinghong's smile froze slightly, and then he looked at Rong Jing deeply, and took Lan Qinghe to the door to continue welcoming guests.
Just before leaving, Lan Qinghong held a small iron order and said a few words. Then a group of ghost servants with pale faces came slowly with hot tea in their hands and served the tea on the tray to the guests.
It is not known whether intentionally or unintentionally, but the Lan family did not deliberately modify the appearance and aura of these ghost servants.
Therefore, the moment they walked out, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in the main hall. Some ordinary people who were timid and had not been exposed to much about metaphysics were so frightened that they froze in place, not daring to reach out to touch the cup of hot tea.
Perhaps it was their illusion, but they always felt that the temperature of these servant ghosts was frighteningly cold when they bent over to make tea, and their cold fingertips vaguely swept across their necks, as if they were feeling the boiling, vital blood rushing beneath their necks.
Just when everyone was regretting not listening to the special department's advice and giving up coming to the Lan family to celebrate the birthday, the guests finally arrived, and the head of the Lan family, who was not present at first, also came out from the backyard.
Seeing the pale and pale looks on everyone's faces, and feeling the breath left by the ghost in the air, how could the head of the Lan family not know what was going on?
He smiled apologetically and said, "There aren't many people at home, so I can only ask some little ones to help with the cooking. I'm really sorry for scaring you all."
He was wearing a maroon Tang jacket, his hair was gray but his face was ruddy. He did not look like a sixty-year-old man, but rather an elegant middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
At this time, he slowly walked to the main hall and continued to explain: "But please rest assured, these servant ghosts are all restrained by my Lan family's restrictions and will not easily attack ordinary people. You just treat them as ordinary puppets."
With the words spoken by the head of the Lan family, everyone felt a little relieved. After calming down, they all congratulated him on his birthday.
The head of the Lan family also thanked them one by one.
After the servant ghost came forward again with the food, the head of the Lan family slowly sat down in the main seat.
The moment he came in, he noticed Rong Jing sitting at the main table.
Looking at the vitality and aura on the other party that were about to condense into substance, the head of the Lan family felt a slight itch in his teeth, and a trace of greed flashed unconsciously in his heart.
If the vitality and spiritual energy of this person could be squeezed out, the resulting life-gathering card would probably be able to surpass the life-gathering cards that could be cultivated by the two life-changing formations.
The Lan family's secret realm has been opened quite a few times in recent times, and they need to replenish some pure and rich vitality like the other party's.
As the head of the Lan family thought so, his eyes gently swept over Master Long Tianshi and the others.
As for these people, as well as those unlucky guys from the Hong and Zhong families, although the energy on their bodies is not as abundant as that of the kid named Rong, he is a heavenly master after all, and he is favored by heaven. Wouldn't it be just right to collect all the vitality and then offer it to "that person"?
As for those ordinary people... he is not a cruel person. Even if he takes this opportunity to gather their vitality and luck, he will not directly drain their vitality. He will always leave some to support them to leave the Lan family.
As for what happens to them after they leave the Lan family, it has nothing to do with the Lan family.
When the head of the Lan family thought of this, he frowned slightly, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of the cloud-shaped birthday cake and took a bite.
It's soft and not overly sweet, and it really takes into account the taste of an old man like him.
Since the host has started eating, the other guests naturally followed suit.
For ordinary people, they seldom attend birthday parties of this kind. They mostly hold cocktail parties in their villas at home, and the food is usually served buffet style.
However, what the Lan family is doing now does seem to be pursuing ancient ideas. Considering that the other party is indeed from a family of Taoist priests, it does not seem surprising that they use this form to celebrate his birthday.
When Rong Jing took his seat, he sat below the main seat, which means that he was now sitting next to the head of the Lan family.
The moment the other party came in, he keenly felt the other party's aura that was a little too abundant and even a little too youthful.
According to the birthday party today, the head of the Lan family is clearly already 60 years old. Ordinary celestial masters have a lot of contact with spiritual energy, and at the same age, their aura is indeed clearer and more abundant than that of ordinary people, but to be as young as the head of the Lan family is a bit too young.
Not to mention that the Lan family is a family that can control ghosts. Compared with the amount of Yin energy they come into contact with in their daily lives, the amount of spiritual energy can almost be described as negligible. The fact that the aura of the head of the Lan family has not been eroded by the Yin energy to the point of being almost dead is already a testament to the Lan family's superb ghost-controlling skills, but it is impossible for his aura to become as vigorous as it is now, almost like that of a middle-aged man.
Thinking of the previous speculations, as well as the gloomy aura that had appeared on Lan Qinghong and had a presence in the incident at the holiday villa, Rong Jing tapped the table lightly with his fingertips, his eyes darkening.
"Why aren't you guys eating?" Just as Rong Jing was lost in thought, the head of the Lan family suddenly turned his head and looked at them, then his eyes stayed on Rong Jing, "Is the food not to your taste?"
In addition to the head of the Lan family, sitting at their table were members of the Huang family who had a very close relationship with the Lan family.
Hearing Patriarch Lan's question, Patriarch Huang snorted and said, "They are from the country after all. Maybe they think that dealing with ghosts like us is not decent enough."
His voice was not disguised at all. Everyone was toasting at the table, and when they heard such remarks, they all looked over.
Zhou Songyun was about to say something when he saw Rong Jing slowly pick up the cup of tea and take a sip, then said, "What does Patriarch Huang mean by this?"
He usually had a calm expression, and rarely had a sharp look between his eyebrows like now. The moment he raised his eyes to look over, the head of the Huang family couldn't help but think of the other party's tactics in the metaphysics exchange activities, and for a moment he didn't dare to talk to him easily.
He stopped talking, and Rong Jing restrained the aura he was giving off. Then he turned to look at Patriarch Lan and said, "I just accidentally ate a little more before leaving. I didn't expect Patriarch Lan to notice it."
The head of the Lan family naturally also noticed the momentum he had used to suppress the head of the Huang family. That kind of pure and vast spiritual power was truly mouth-watering.
He smiled slowly, and his kind eyes narrowed a little: "After all, Master Rong is an honored guest. If you hadn't seen the problem with the corpse-raising ground and given our Lan family a few soul-restoring talismans, our Lan family would have made a big mistake."
He frankly admitted that the Lan family was responsible for the leakage of corpse qi from the corpse breeding ground, and he did not shirk the responsibility. This made many people present, even the heavenly masters, feel more favorable towards him.
In comparison, people from the so-called special departments seem a bit aggressive.
Rong Jing gently stroked the porcelain cup wall with his fingertips, and then said calmly: "It's just a piece of cake. I think even if I didn't do anything at that time, the Lan family would not have ignored the corpse breeding ground and the lives of hundreds of thousands of people."
The Lan family head's smile froze: "...Of course."
Didn't Qinghong say that this person doesn't like to talk and is cold by nature? How come his words are really cold, but also really hurtful?
The reason why the Lan family held the birthday banquet despite the pressure from special departments even though they knew that the country had some opinions about them was because Rong Jing had ruined their plan.
Otherwise, it would just be a leak of corpse gas. As long as they could deprive half of the vitality of tens of thousands of people, they would have their own way to deal with that corpse-raising land, and the Lan family would not have to suffer any major damage for this. Later, many of their methods were exposed.
Don’t think that the people from the special department came to their house in a friendly manner. It is estimated that the other party has made a lot of speculations about their investigation. This time they came to their house, probably with the intention of finding out the details of their Lan family.
Since the other party has such an intention, as the head of the Lan family, can he still refuse them?
It was at this time that Rong Jing glanced at him and said casually, "Although I know that today is Patriarch Lan's sixtieth birthday, I feel that Patriarch Lan looks only in his forties."
Many guests also felt the same way. They knew that the Heavenly Master would look younger than ordinary people of the same age, but it was extremely rare for someone like the Lan Family Master to look as young as a 40-year-old at the age of 60.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the head of the Lan family sighed helplessly: "Master Rong Tian, you are just joking. Although the old man looks younger, he is old after all. How can he still think like he is forty?"
As he spoke, he shook his head. Rong Jing watched his actions quietly with an indifferent expression, not making any comment.
Seeing that Rong Jing didn't respond to his question, the head of the Lan family could only continue, "But there are some other reasons."
"In fact, the reason why you all were invited to this birthday party is because of this matter." The head of the Lan family pondered for a moment, then stood up and said.
"Everyone should have heard the rumor that the Lan family has an extremely powerful secret realm... In fact, this secret realm does exist, but it is different from the legendary magical effect that can make the heavenly master's practice progress rapidly. The secret realm of the Lan family is just more abundant in vitality, which can make people's spiritual energy flow more smoothly and make the sick body recover faster."
When he mentioned that the Lan family's secret realm could help a sick body recover faster, the eyes of those ordinary people who came to the banquet all lit up.
To have reached where they are today, money and power are secondary. Instead, a healthy body is more important to them.
They have been working hard in society for so many years, who doesn't have one or two minor illnesses? Even if they don't have any, it would be a good thing to make their physique stronger!
Everyone had a premonition that the next words from Patriarch Lan might be a bombshell to them.
And those heavenly masters were also staring closely at the head of the Lan family.
Just the fact that he mentioned that the vitality is more intense and can make the spiritual power flow more smoothly is enough to make people excited!
Moreover, although the Heavenly Master is healthier than the average person, he will inevitably suffer some damage when fighting with evil spirits. If he can recuperate in the secret realm of the Lan family for a few days...
Then, can their injuries also heal faster? !
When the Taoist priests from the Hong and Zhong families who came to attend the birthday banquet heard his words, their chests heaved and their expressions changed.
Others may not know, but don’t they know how rapidly the Lan family has developed in recent years?
The other party is originally a family that has inherited a tradition of controlling ghosts. The reason why they did not develop well in the past was that as the number of ghosts controlled by the ghost-controlling master increased, his body was also contaminated with the bloody evil aura brought by the evil ghosts. Over time, his body would naturally be corroded by the bloody evil aura.
In the past few hundred years, many ghost-controlling heavenly masters died at the age of fifty or sixty. If the ghosts under their command could cleanse their sins before that, they could live longer, but generally they would not live to be eighty years old like other heavenly masters.
The Hong family and the Zhong family had previously wondered why the Lan family's generation did not seem to have such drawbacks, and they suspected that it was related to the so-called secret realm. However, they did not expect that there was no secret realm that could promote rapid progress in spiritual practice, but there was a secret realm that could make the Heavenly Master's own vitality more intense and his spiritual power flow more smoothly!
Since the Lan family came to seek an alliance, they must have considered sharing the secret realm, but their family...
But they all refused!
Now if they want to enter the Lan family’s secret realm, it may not be that easy.
After all, there is no free lunch in the world.
Everyone present, including Master Hong and others, were staring closely at Patriarch Lan, wondering what request he would make.
The head of the Lan family was very satisfied with their looks.
When he and Lan Qinghong decided to use the secret realm as bait, they had expected such a reaction from the crowd.
So what if you feel there is a pit ahead?
Human greed is endless. When they have money, they want power. When they have power, they want health. When they have health, they want something else.
Although the Heavenly Masters are considered to be people who have renounced the world, they are still in the mortal world after all, and naturally cannot escape temptation.
Even Master Long Tian, Taoist Miaoyin and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Patriarch Lan casually mention the function of the secret realm.
Only Rong Jing was truly calm from the very beginning. Even when he heard that the so-called secret realm could help Heavenly Master circulate his spiritual power more smoothly, his expression remained as indifferent as ever.
Although the head of the Lan family and Lan Qinghong focused most of their attention on those excited celestial masters and ordinary people, they also paid some attention to the movements of people in the special departments.
When seeing the changes in the expressions of Long Tianshi and the others, the head of the Lan family couldn't help but feel a little proud. Even if your special department finds out that my Lan family is related to the life-changing array, so what? Aren't you Tianshis also tempted by this?
But when they saw Rong Jing's usual expression, a sense of crisis emerged in their hearts again.
This person...
Even though they had had direct contact and indirect battles with Rong Jing several times, until now, they were still not quite sure what level of strength Rong Jing had reached.
However, Patriarch Lan and Lan Qinghong did not think that his strength could surpass that of “that person”.
Thinking of this, the head of the Lan family was moved. He suddenly remembered that after the incident at the holiday villa some time ago, "that person" suddenly said that he wanted to retreat for a period of time. Could it be that he was injured...
Probably not.
The head of the Lan family had never seen such a powerful ghost—
To call it a fierce ghost seemed to be a bit of an insult to "that one". It was more like a ghost king. The Lan family was able to develop to this day thanks to the other party's action in the past, which cleared many obstacles for them.
Moreover, as the cooperation became more in-depth, the other party also handed over many long-lost secret techniques to them.
This time they dared to hold a grand banquet to attract the special departments and even Rong Jing to come, because they had the things given to them by "that person" as a support.
Thinking of the Lan family's foolproof arrangement this time, the head of the Lan family felt relieved and took his eyes away from Rong Jing.
The moment he turned his head, Rong Jing looked at the teacup in his hand, his eyes darkened.
The head of the Lan family smiled and looked at everyone: "I am very grateful that everyone can come to my birthday party. Although this secret realm is not very useful, it is passed down by our ancestors of the Lan family..."
"I originally intended to let everyone go directly into the secret realm, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this would be a shame to our ancestors."
He seemed to be a little hesitant. Seeing this, someone shouted, "Master Lan, if you have any plans, just tell us directly."
They were only interested in the secret realm and did not have much sense of involvement with the ancestors of the Lan family.
Besides, after all that, didn't Patriarch Lan reveal the existence of the secret realm in the end? If there are any conditions, just say it directly.
This is what the head of the Lan family was waiting for.
He frowned, and finally spoke helplessly: "It's not that I have any plans... It's just that the secret realm is not big, and there can't be too many people entering each time, otherwise it will be a waste of the secret realm itself. But this time, you all gave me face and came to attend my birthday party, so this time when the secret realm opens, I will reserve a place for you."
"But in order to make up for the losses caused by the secret realm, everyone needs to pay something to exchange for a place."
The Lan family was indeed well prepared. After he finished speaking, Lan Qinghong came forward with a scroll of light silk and read what was written on it: "The Taoist priests can exchange with instruments or talismans with sufficient spiritual power. If they exchange with magic books, they will be given one more quota. The heads of the noble families who have not entered the path of metaphysics can also choose to pay 500 million in cash for exchange. 1.5 billion in cash can be exchanged for two quotas."
This condition was extremely high. After Lan Qinghong finished reading it, everyone at the banquet frowned and whispered to each other, as if they were weighing whether the secret realm was worth the price they paid in exchange for a place.
However, Patriarch Lan then added: "I forgot to tell you that recuperation in the secret realm actually has some effect."
The voices at the banquet fell silent, and then the head of the Lan family was heard saying, "This secret realm of my Lan family... can also allow the heavenly masters or ordinary people who cultivate in it to cleanse their souls and change their fate."
It is so rare to have a perfect destiny in the world. Although the people present are in high power and have extraordinary background, there are things that they cannot ask for.
But what Patriarch Lan said vaguely hinted that entering this secret realm could help their fate improve by one point!
How much benefit can a small improvement bring to people at their level?
Someone immediately wanted to grab two spots, but the price of 1.5 billion was too high. After calming down for a moment, he still sat down and pondered, "If the secret realm is really as good as you said, then why did the Lan family give it up?"
Wouldn't it be better to keep it for the Lan family to use?
Of course, it is to trick you guys into giving up your money and your lives. Rong Jing had been listening quietly to the Lan family master's plan from the beginning, and naturally guessed the other party's purpose at this time.
The other party obviously no longer minded exposing the relationship between the Lan family and the life-exchanging array in front of them. They openly displayed the so-called secret realm in order to lure more people in.
As for what it was for...
Just as the head of the Lan family said, those who have reached their current status must have very good destinies. The other party used the life-changing formation to steal their vitality and luck from the very beginning, and now they have offered such a great temptation, of course, it is for the destinies of these successful people.
To be honest, even Master Rong had to admire the ghost. It really dared to think and act, and actually found a very suitable partner like the Lan family.
If the crimes committed by the other party were not so disgusting, Rong Jing might have admired its courage.
But now, since it is bent on harming innocent people and is obsessed with creating a body for itself, wouldn't it be contrary to the original intention of his practice if he didn't intervene?
Rong Jing rubbed his fingertips lightly on the cup, and felt as if someone was looking at him. He raised his eyes and saw Zhou Songyun looking at him anxiously.
Are we really going to let so many people follow the Lan family into that secret realm? !
Even if the things that had been discovered before had not happened, based solely on the contacts he had had with the Lan family, Zhou Songyun did not believe that they would be so kind as to contribute their own secret realm just to improve the fate of these people.
Realizing the Lan family's purpose, Zhou Songyun subconsciously went looking for Rong Jing.
The other person's expression seemed a little cold, but still calm.
Under Rong Jing's calm gaze, Zhou Songyun slowly suppressed the anxiety in his heart and reacted.
The Lan family made such a plan without telling them, which meant that the other party was indeed well prepared.
But it would be easier to deal with this way. If the other party secretly contacted these aristocratic family masters and wealthy patriarchs without their knowledge, and they received the information a little late, some people would suffer harm.
Although there are many people here at the moment, the conditions given by the Lan family are so harsh that they will definitely give those present time to contact for funds. They may also be able to report to their superiors urgently and mobilize more heavenly masters over.
If that doesn’t work…
There was a stern look in Zhou Songyun's eyes.
Then we can only apply to deploy large-scale thermal weapons.
But at that time, they must protect the safety of the people present, but the same cannot be said for the people in their special departments.
And Rong Jing——
The other party was not from a special department, but he came to Nan Province this time for the Lan family. And during their contact during this time, Zhou Songyun also knew that Rong Jing was no less concerned about the safety of the people than he was.
At that time, the other party might also stay to protect the people.
The expression on his face changed very quickly. Rong Jing saw that he looked at him with a hint of forbearance and respect, and couldn't help but ask: "?"
Although the Lan family's matter is somewhat difficult to handle, and the hexagram does not look very bright.
But Master Rong dared to attack Tian Dao in the past, and now he is just facing the Lan family, but he is still not scared.
