With the tacit cooperation of Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor, the guards in the manor were quickly subdued one by one.
They continued to delve deeper into the mansion, searching for traces of the mastermind behind it all.
Finally, deep inside the mansion, they found a secret room.
The door to the secret chamber was tightly shut, and it was covered with intricate mechanisms. Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor exchanged a glance, then simultaneously worked to break through the mechanisms.
The door slowly opened, and everything was far from simple. Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor walked in without hesitation.
The sealed room was shrouded in extreme darkness, concealing an aura of danger.
They walked straight ahead without stopping for a moment.
In the center of the secret chamber, a mysterious figure dressed in a black robe sat quietly.
He showed no panic upon seeing Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor, instead letting out a cold laugh: "Hahaha! You've finally arrived! Have you come to walk into our trap?"
Xu Yuehuai looked at him coldly: "Is this your plan? I think it's just a good opportunity for us to collect the most damning evidence against you."
The mysterious man smiled slightly: "Crime? I am merely pursuing truth and power. How could you mere mortals possibly comprehend my grand plan?"
The Ghost Doctor scoffed, "Truth and power? Your so-called truth and power are nothing but built upon the suffering and sacrifice of others!"
The mysterious man did not answer him, but stood up, emanating a powerful aura. With a wave of his hand, the oil lamp in the secret room suddenly went out, plunging the entire room into darkness.
"The darkness is my domain!" the mysterious man roared, his voice filled with confidence and arrogance.
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor were not intimidated by the darkness at all. With their extraordinary perception, they guarded and attacked together, constantly getting closer to the mysterious man.
Their clashes were thrilling and exciting, making you want to clench your fists.
In the darkness, Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor seemed to transform into two bolts of lightning, weaving around the mysterious man.
Their movements were as fast as ghosts, and every attack was precise and deadly.
Although the mysterious man was powerful, he gradually felt the pressure thanks to the tacit cooperation between Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor.
“You… how could you…” the mysterious man struggled to speak, his voice filled with despair.
Xu Yuehuai looked at him coldly: "Do you think you're invincible? In my eyes, you're nothing but an ant."
The Ghost Doctor added, "Your ambition and cruelty will only lead you to your destruction."
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor kept exchanging ideas and worked together to fight the mysterious man according to their plan. After some probing, they finally found the mysterious man's weakness.
The two of them joined forces and used their own martial arts skills to subdue him on the ground.
They lit the oil lamps, which illuminated the secret chamber.
The mysterious man's face turned pale, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
He struggled to stand up, but his legs were broken, and he had no way to escape.
"How...how did you do that? Why can't even my poison transformation fight against you?" The mysterious man could hardly believe that his power was like child's play in their eyes.
Xu Yuehuai said coldly, "Those powers are not orthodox powers at all. They crumble to the ground like sand when touched. If you want to obtain real power, you should cultivate properly instead of using those disgusting methods."
The Ghost Doctor then began searching for clues in the secret room, and soon he found a hidden basement entrance.
They opened the basement door and found dozens of hostages imprisoned inside. They were ragged and haggard, clearly having suffered inhuman torture.
When they saw Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor, they struggled to express their gratitude to them: "Thank you! You are truly immortals descended to earth!"
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor quickly untied the hostages and led them out of the secret room. The hostages excitedly surrounded them, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.
"We will definitely bring all those who endanger the peace of the four countries to justice! We will make them receive the punishment they deserve!" Xu Yuehuai assured all the victims.
As the mastermind was being led onto the prison van, he still maintained his arrogant demeanor: "You think it's all over? My plan has only just begun..."
Xu Yuehuai sneered, "Your plan has completely failed. Your ambition will only lead you to your destruction. You and those behind you will suffer the same fate. Just wait in hell; one day you will meet there."
As the prison van drove away, the night battle at the manor finally came to an end.
Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor gazed at the distant sky, as if the night had become quieter.
"Let's go," Xu Yuehuai said.
The Ghost Doctor smiled and agreed, and the two left the manor side by side.
As night faded and the sky began to lighten, Xu Yuehuai and the Ghost Doctor appeared on the streets of the capital. They walked hurriedly, as if they had important business to attend to.
The lanterns of Tianxiang Tower swayed in the morning breeze, emitting a faint light.
Xu Yuehuai, dressed in men's clothing, exuded a heroic aura, while the Ghost Doctor, in a blue robe, remained composed. They entered Tianxiang Restaurant, where the manager, who had been waiting for some time, immediately came forward to greet them.
"Young master, you've arrived," the shopkeeper greeted with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of familiarity. "I have prepared the medicines you requested according to your list."
The Ghost Doctor asked calmly, "Have you prepared all the medicines on the list?"
The shopkeeper nodded, a confident smile on his face: "Young master, do you not trust the reputation of Tianxiang Restaurant? We have always been honest and fair in our business dealings."
"If you don't believe me, let's go and see for ourselves."
The innkeeper led the two of them into a private room.
The Ghost Doctor didn't say much, but looked around, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling array of medicine shelves. He walked to a corner, picked up a herb and examined it carefully, then picked up another, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"You've been deceived." The Ghost Doctor's voice was cold and firm, causing the shopkeeper to pause in surprise.
"How is this possible?" The shopkeeper stared wide-eyed, his face full of confusion and surprise.
Ignoring the shopkeeper's surprise, the Ghost Doctor took out his tools and began to examine the herbs one by one. He first gently sniffed the Heavenly Cold Grass, a look of disappointment on his face: "This Heavenly Cold Grass has no cold energy at all."
He then examined the Fire Rock Grass and shook his head again: "This Fire Rock Grass has no medicinal effect whatsoever."
The shopkeeper's face turned pale instantly, and he asked in a trembling voice, "This...how is this possible? We spent a lot of money to collect these herbs. They were sold to us by Li the Cripple from the west of the city! He would never cheat anyone!"
