Chapter 513 Master Zeng
As she stepped into the haunted house, a chilling aura immediately spread throughout her body. Zhong Nianyao couldn't help but frown, then raised her head and glanced around, a trace of solemnity flashing in her eyes.
Just now, when she heard the driver say that many explorers had died here, she thought it was an exaggeration. Now it seems that it is true.
From the outside, it looked like the place was just filled with a bit of yin energy. However, once you entered, you could sense a strong sense of resentment, mixed with a strong sense of ghosts. However, after entering, you discovered that in a place with such a strong yin energy, there wasn't even a single ghost.
There is only one possibility, there is a very powerful ghost king here, so that ghosts and monsters within a few miles dare not approach for fear of being swallowed.
However, this ghost king should have an owner! Otherwise, this ghost would not have kidnapped Zhao Xuanlang and brought her here!
As soon as I entered the house, the dilapidated door behind me closed automatically.
Another "creaking" sound rang out, and in this silent and cold space, it was particularly harsh. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be scared.
Zhong Nianyao had no expression on her face. She raised her head and looked towards the upstairs without making any unnecessary movements. She just said calmly, "Since you asked me out, why don't you come out and meet someone? Or—"
"You also know that the things you did are shameful!"
“Pah pah pah——”
Crisp applause echoed as a beautiful figure slowly descended from the upper floors. She had long, straight black hair and wore a pastel-green floral dress, perfectly suiting her age. Her small face, with its strikingly innocent features, was a sight that could only evoke pity.
Seeing the person coming, Zhong Nianyao was surprised for a moment, "I really didn't expect it to be you, Meng Rou."
That's right, it was Meng Rou who came down from upstairs. She was also the one who had just applauded.
Putting down her hands, Meng Rou smiled. "Zhong Nianyao, it seems you are really confident! You actually came here alone. However, I am really curious. What is your relationship with Zhao Xuanlang? He calls you Boss all the time, and now you are willing to risk your life for him. There must be a secret between you two! I just wonder if Mr. Lu San knows about your philandering love history?"
"If he finds out, I wonder if your wedding can still go ahead smoothly?"
"That's not something you need to worry about." Zhong Nianyao looked at Meng Rou and said calmly, "But I'm sure that if Lu Yilei knew about your past, things would definitely break up between you two."
If it were in the past, Meng Rou would definitely feel scared after hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, but now there was no trace of fear on her face. Instead, she had a sense of pride and self-confidence. "You are indeed right. It's a pity that-"
"Zhong Nianyao, you no longer have the chance to tell anyone about these things. There's no way you'll be able to leave here today."
"It seems like you've made up your mind not to let me leave here." Zhong Nianyao cast a sharp gaze on Meng Rou. "I'm a little curious. Where does that mysterious confidence of yours come from? Why do you think you have the ability to make me die here today?"
"Haha, Zhong Nianyao, I know you're amazing." Meng Rou smiled complacently, "But there are always people better than you. In this world, there are many people who are more capable than you. You think too highly of yourself, so you're destined to fall."
As Meng Rou was speaking, a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe and a mustache came down from the upper floor. He looked ordinary, but he exuded an unpleasant aura. He was probably a Taoist priest, and he was holding a dustpan in his hand.
As soon as he appeared, the whole space was filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere. His green eyes were looking up and down at Zhong Nianyao, and a greedy light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
It was as if Zhong Nian Yao was a delicious dish in his eyes.
Seeing the faint red light on the middle-aged man, Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with a faint light, and murderous intent gradually arose in her heart.
With her third eye opened, she saw the blood-red light on the man's body, and she knew that this man had committed many sins of killing, almost countless.
That bloody glow clearly showed that this man was practicing some kind of evil heresy. If he continued to be around, who knew how many more people he would harm in the future.
"This is the Zhong Nianyao you mentioned!" The middle-aged man looked at Meng Rou and nodded with satisfaction. "It is indeed a rare nutrient. I am very satisfied."
Before, he had learned from Meng Rou that Zhong Nianyao was a cultivator who knew the art of metaphysics. At that time, he only regarded Zhong Nianyao as an ordinary cultivator.
When Meng Rou came to him for help, he agreed without hesitation. His cultivation had recently reached a bottleneck, and coupled with his previous injury, if he couldn't break through, then his end was very likely approaching.
There were many cultivators in this world, but he didn't dare to hunt them casually, fearing that he would attract the attention of the special secular department. If he was really hunted by the special department, it would be a loss.
He once confronted someone from the special department. At that time, there was a very young man who was full of confidence. However, the man made a move and he almost died right there with just one move.
If he didn't have a magic weapon on him to save his life and escape, he would not be able to stand here any longer.
After that, he kept a low profile and was careful not to confront anyone from the special department.
However, this time it was Meng Rou who came to him, so he naturally would not be polite.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao mentioned by Meng Rou today, he was filled with ecstasy. The power in her was very pure. As long as he could obtain that power, not to mention breaking through the bottleneck, it would be very likely to advance to the next level.
His help today really wasn't in vain.
After hearing the middle-aged man's words, Meng Rou's eyes flashed with joy, but she remained humble. "As long as Master Zeng is satisfied, I'll consider this Zhong Nian Yao as my gift to you."
After saying that, she cast a complacent look towards Zhong Nianyao, and the ecstasy in her eyes could not be concealed by any malicious intent. At this moment, she seemed to have seen Zhong Nianyao's miserable condition.
