Chapter 105 - Dragon Vein Revival? A Battle for National Destiny!!!
"Uncle, aren't we investigating a case? What are you doing?!"
A-Lian watched Uncle Feng busily preparing food, it was her first time seeing Uncle Feng clean the place so diligently.
"A-Lian, a guest will be here soon, mind your image."
Uncle Feng estimated the time; Zhong Fabai wasn't very far from him, so he knew the other party would likely arrive soon.
"Okay, Uncle."
"Uncle Feng, who is it?"
Officer Miao curiously leaned over. After spending a few days with Uncle Feng, he felt he got along well with this eccentric old man. Compared to Officer Lin, he had a better relationship with Uncle Feng.
Of course, it was also because Uncle Feng's niece was very beautiful, so he still had some thoughts in his heart, wanting to get closer to Uncle Feng and see if he could take advantage of the proximity.
"My junior brother and his disciple are here!"
Uncle Feng raised his head and looked outside the door, already sensing the arrival of the two.
The other three also looked over curiously, even Officer Lin, who wasn't very interested, was drawn in by the newcomers.
Are there men more handsome than me in this world?
Officer Lin began to deeply doubt his own looks, while Officer Miao felt a bit defeated. On the other hand, A-Lian's eyes lit up the moment she saw Bai Ye—a handsome guy!
"Senior Brother Lin!!"
"Junior Brother, long time no see!!"
Uncle Feng and Zhong Fabai quickly walked towards each other, warmly grasping each other's hands, their eyes filled with emotion.
After many years apart, they hadn't seen each other in a long time.
"This must be your disciple, right? He's truly a talented individual!"
Uncle Feng sized up Bai Ye, then nodded in satisfaction. It was clear that Bai Ye hadn't fallen behind in his cultivation. He couldn't help but approve of Zhong Fabai's disciple in his heart, he was indeed a good prospect.
At the same time, a hint of sadness flashed in his heart. In this age of declining spiritual energy, it was truly difficult to pass on Taoist magic and find a suitable disciple. When would he meet a disciple who could inherit his mantle?
"Greetings, Martial Uncle."
"Good, good, good. Come, let's eat first. We can talk while we eat."
Uncle Feng enthusiastically pulled the two into the house, then started chatting with Zhong Fabai. Regarding the malevolent energy problem in Hong Kong, he had also discovered it recently. And after learning the intelligence from Zhong Fabai, he became even clearer that the current situation in Hong Kong was probably more complex than he imagined.
From Bai Ye's Haunted Mansion and the subsequent ghost possessions that even Taoist priests might not be able to discern, to Miyake Issey, Zhong Fabai recounted all the supernatural incidents he had experienced during this period to Uncle Feng.
This, however, made Officer Lin a bit unhappy. As a police officer, he had always believed that there were no ghosts in this world, and he was dissatisfied with Uncle Feng's method of catching people through so-called Taoist magic.
Because in his opinion, this was simply not the work of so-called Walking corpses!
And the other party kept talking about recent supernatural events, which he felt was simply nonsense. He instantly lost interest. If all of this were true, how could he, an internal police officer, have no news at all?
Even if they were going to make things up, they should at least make them more reasonable, right?
Compared to Officer Lin, Officer Miao, who had already witnessed the power, was more willing to believe it. He affirmed what Zhong Fabai said.
As for A-Lian, she didn't listen at all, her eyes were practically glued to Bai Ye.
"Then it seems the situation in Hong Kong is not good now. I've also heard many stories about head-down masters harming people before, perhaps it's really as you said."
Uncle Feng rubbed his forehead, then looked at Bai Ye and asked, "By the way, your master said you opened a ghost-hunting company and want to gather all of us together?"
He didn't want to think about that matter for now, but instead looked at Bai Ye and asked.
He actually had mixed feelings about this matter. Zhong Fabai had analyzed the pros and cons for him before, but he wasn't the type who liked to be controlled, otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a strained relationship with the higher-ups back then.
Uncle Feng also knew his own personality was eccentric, and he was afraid that his interactions with Bai Ye and others might not be too pleasant.
Among his martial brothers, he was the first to descend the mountain, mainly because even the relationships between his martial brothers themselves were somewhat strained.
"Yes, Martial Uncle. The structure of this ghost-hunting company is roughly for everyone to share information and such. If there's a problem, everyone solves it together. It doesn't mean everyone has to be in this company."
In fact, it was similar to a mercenary guild. Besides them actively solving ghost problems, there were also clients introduced by Liu Qing and others.
Gathering everyone together also made things easier to handle.
After listening to Bai Ye, Uncle Feng nodded knowingly, indicating that he understood, and at the same time, he had some calculations in his heart. Perhaps this was indeed not as he had thought before.
"Then if that's the case, let's first deal with this Nine Chrysanthemum Sect demoness."
Uncle Feng didn't agree immediately, waiting to deal with the person in front of him first.
"Okay, Martial Uncle, do you have any intelligence on the other party?"
Bai Ye didn't care either. As long as that demoness appeared head-on, Bai Ye had many ways to deal with her, but if she kept hiding, it would be difficult to find her.
"I do have a way."
After Uncle Feng finished speaking, he directly looked at Officer Miao. He was going to find Eddie, Chen Zhuzhu's boyfriend, today anyway.
As long as they found that person, finding the demoness would be much simpler.
"Tsk, starting to play tricks again."
Officer Lin curled his lips in disdain. He would just watch how they failed later.
A ghost-hunting company!
Are there ghosts in this world?
If there were ghosts, could he have lived this long?
This was simply preposterous!
There are no ghosts in this world at all!
"Stop looking, dinner's ready!"
Uncle Feng cleared his throat, glancing at A-Lian. His niece, who had previously been attracted to the handsome Officer Lin, was now infatuated again after seeing someone even more handsome.
Interrupted by him, A-Lian came back to her senses and somewhat embarrassed, lowered her head to eat. This scene made Officer Miao's heart ache.
He already felt he didn't have much chance of winning in the competition with Officer Lin.
Now an even more handsome person had arrived, and it looked like their relationship was probably even better. After all, Uncle Feng was Bai Ye's Martial Uncle, there was a layer of connection there. So wouldn't he truly have no chance at all?
The few of them finished eating together, then went to Eddie's gym. Upon seeing their arrival and hearing that they were looking for Eddie, a group of people immediately blocked the three of them.
Just as Officer Lin was about to reveal his police identity, he saw the scene before him and trembled. Bai Ye directly slapped everyone around him flying. Seeing this, Uncle Feng's eyes lit up, then he looked at Zhong Fabai and asked, "Your disciple's body tempering is actually still...?"
He could discern Bai Ye's Taoist magic foundation, but he didn't expect that on top of his Taoist magic, his physical combat skills were also so strong?
"Whoa?! My disciple is that amazing?" A trace of bewilderment flashed in Zhong Fabai's eyes. He didn't remember teaching Bai Ye this, but upon seeing Uncle Feng's gaze, he immediately puffed out his chest and said, "Ah, my unaccomplished disciple, I just taught him a bit, and guess what, he learned it in an instant!"
"..."
Uncle Feng was silent.
Although he knew he was showing off, he couldn't find a reason to refute.
Suddenly, his desire to take on a good disciple to inherit his mantle grew stronger and stronger.
"You can go in, that guy is about to run."
Bai Ye turned his head to look at the two, then led the way directly, slapping away anyone who stood in front of him.
This instantly gave Uncle Feng the idea of snatching Bai Ye to be his own disciple!
He even felt a pang of regret in his heart, how could such a good disciple not be the first one he encountered!!!
Inside the gym.
Eddie, who was caught, quickly provided Bai Ye and the others with intelligence about the person behind him.
Outside a villa.
Bai Ye watched Uncle Feng engaging in a magical duel with the opponent, feeling quite curious. At this moment, if he were to strike with a heavenly lightning bolt, would the people inside die directly?
"Martial Uncle, should I make a move?"
Bai Ye didn't rashly intervene, but looked at Uncle Feng, wondering if he should make a move.
"This guy is not someone you can handle, let me do it!"
Uncle Feng didn't want to see Bai Ye in danger. He was a very promising disciple, he couldn't die in a magical duel.
"It's fine, I can summon heavenly lightning."
"Heavenly lightning? Nephew, in this day and age, who can... What the hell!!! You can really summon heavenly lightning?"
Uncle Feng stared dumbfounded at the location of the villa, which had already been reduced to ashes by lightning.
Then he turned his head and looked back and forth between Bai Ye and Zhong Fabai!?
Finally, after holding it in for a long time, he blurted out a sentence: "Who exactly is the teacher and who is the student between you two!?"
So, the clown was me, huh?
Just now he was thinking, what era is this, and there's actually someone who can summon heavenly lightning with bare hands.
If this were in the past when spiritual energy was more abundant, or even a few years earlier, it might indeed have been possible, but in this day and age, achieving that is absolutely impossible!
But now, all of this made Uncle Feng realize how unnecessary his worries just now were.
"Cough, what's wrong with a disciple being a bit more powerful? Who stipulated that a disciple cannot be more powerful than their teacher?"
Zhong Fabai's face turned red. He couldn't do it himself, but his disciple could. And wasn't his disciple of a fire-attuned constitution?
How could he summon heavenly lightning so casually? No one told him, and he wasn't skilled in lightning magic either. He had never summoned lightning before. How did he learn this?
"What did I see? Was this really man-made?"
A trace of shock flashed in Officer Lin's eyes. He had never believed in so-called Taoist priests before, but now he had no choice but to believe. The lightning summoned by the other party casually directly destroyed most of the villa.
"Martial Uncle, how was my assist?"
Bai Ye smiled and glanced at Uncle Feng, it seemed he should still be very satisfied, right?
"You're the main force, I'm the damn assist!" Uncle Feng couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
How could he be considered an assist, the main force had already been taken by him.
"The demoness inside is leaving, aren't you going to capture her and interrogate her?"
Since the other party was from the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect and had been lurking here for some time, she must have other motives.
After intercepting the demoness and blocking her escape route, Bai Ye carefully examined the beautiful woman in front of him. He had to admit she was indeed good-looking, but it was a shame that after being shone upon by that mirror, she looked truly terrifying.
"You ruined my great plan, the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect will not let you off!"
The demoness knew she couldn't escape. The Taoist priest she had just fought was not much different from her, and the one who could casually summon heavenly lightning made her lose the will to fight.
She had just thought of running away quickly and reporting the intelligence back.
But now that she had been intercepted, the demoness naturally understood that she would most likely not be able to take the intelligence back alive.
"You Nine Chrysanthemum Sect are truly persistent, still clinging to this place after so many years?"
Uncle Feng took out his magic artifact, ready to strike at any moment.
"Heh heh, why can't we seize this place? That dragon vein will be ours sooner or later, you guys are simply not worthy of getting these things!!"
A strange glint flashed in the demoness's eyes, and she knew in her heart that the other party probably knew about some of her plans.
However, it didn't matter. When she realized she couldn't escape, she also understood that she would die here, and she had already thought of this when she came here to carry out the mission.
After hearing her words, the three exchanged glances, also catching an important piece of information!
Dragon Vein?
Wasn't the Dragon Vein already severed by Liu Bowen?
This was also the reason for the increasingly scarce spiritual energy. But the other party kept saying they wanted to obtain the Dragon Vein, the other party seemed to know more than them.
Moreover, once it involved the Dragon Vein, this was probably not a simple matter.
It might even involve national destiny!
Malevolent energy and Dragon Vein?
An earth dragon turning over, or a dead dragon vein about to revive?
But no matter which it was, it seemed like bad news for Hong Kong right now.
"Die!"
The demoness attacked first. In her opinion, Bai Ye was the weakest person here. The other two were one who fought her and the other Zhong Fabai was probably the guy who used lightning, so she would first grab Bai Ye to make the other party hesitate, and then maybe she would have a chance of survival.
Seeing the demoness preparing to attack Bai Ye, a trace of strangeness flashed across Zhong Fabai and Uncle Feng's faces.
Why did she choose the most powerful one?
Judging by Bai Ye's previous performance, Uncle Feng admitted he couldn't do it. Some people's talent was just like that, what he needed a year to comprehend, others might only need a day. That was the difference.
And seeing Bai Ye seemingly standing still, a trace of joy flashed in the demoness's eyes. This guy was scared by her, here's her chance!
