"It might be him, the heartless jerk who abandoned that female ghost back then could very well be Luo Pengfei!"

Seeing Chen Hao muttering to himself without making much sense, the bewildered Zhao Wuji at his side asked, "What female ghost?"

A gleam of light flashed in Chen Hao's eyes once again, and then he suddenly leapt into the night, leaving behind only the words, "Hurry back to town."

Sighing, Zhao Wuji's Yin Soul also jumped into the night sky, closely following Chen Hao.

A month ago, near an ancient well in a village close to Shimen Town, Chen Hao and his group, in addition to encountering the mermaid Huang Yue, also encountered a female vengeful ghost who had been sealed at the bottom of the well for over three hundred years. The female vengeful ghost was the daughter of a wealthy family during her life, who had fallen in love with a poor boy and had privately vowed to spend their lives together. Opposed by the female ghost's family, the two of them decided to jump into the well together in an act of love-driven suicide.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, the female ghost drowned, but the poor boy was rescued. Later, having been to the gates of the underworld and back, the poor boy no longer wished to jump into the well again to join the female ghost. Instead, he became a disciple to an Onmyoji and sealed her Yin Soul at the bottom of the well.

Since the female ghost harbored resentment and was difficult to transcend, Chen Hao promised her to find the poor boy who had betrayed her. He put the female ghost into the Soul-collecting Bottle and promised to release her once the poor boy was found.

Just now, when he recalled the female ghost, Chen Hao suddenly remembered that the female ghost had told them the poor boy's name—"His surname is Luo, given name Jin, styled Pengfei."

Although the poor boy was called Luo Jin, if one followed the traditional way of addressing such a person in Ancient times, he would be ordinarily referred to as Luo Pengfei, which happened to be the same as the current Chairman of the Onmyoji Discipline Management Association. Furthermore, Chen Hao had heard some rumors about Luo Pengfei from Xie Xiaofeng, one of which involved Luo Pengfei's mysterious age.

Thus, to verify whether this Luo Pengfei was the same as that Luo Pengfei, Chen Hao hurried back to Anyang Town without stopping.

Two minutes later, Chen Hao arrived at the entrance of the Anyang Town government office. At that moment, Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, and Tang Jing had just finished administering antidotes to residents nearby.

"Damn it, you finished off that Soul Corpse so quickly?" Tang Jing asked.

No sooner had Tang Jing finished speaking, than Zhao Wuji's Yin Soul landed beside Chen Hao, making her face show a trace of embarrassment.

"Everyone, get back on the Exorcism Special Vehicle, I've made a major discovery!" Chen Hao urged.

"What major discovery?" Xie Xiaofeng questioned.

..

Shortly after, Chen Hao and his group returned to the Exorcism Special Vehicle, with Zhao Wuji also entering the vehicle.

Once on the vehicle, Chen Hao opened the wooden box left by his grandfather and took out the Soul-collecting Bottle containing the female vengeful ghost from the ancient well. In front of everyone, he uncapped the bottle and poured out the female vengeful ghost.

"Damn it, why did you call her out?" Tang Jing couldn't help but ask.

As the female vengeful ghost's silhouette grew from the size of a grape back to her original form, Chen Hao urgently asked, "I called you out because there is something I need to confirm with you. What was the name of the scum who let you down?"

The female vengeful ghost first glanced around at everyone, then glaring at Chen Hao, she said, "Luo Jin!"

"No, no, that's not the name," Chen Hao shook his head repeatedly. "What did you usually call him?"

The expression on the female vengeful ghost's face immediately showed displeasure, and with a chilling tone, she said, "Brother Luo, Pengfei, Luo Pengfei!"

"Ah!" Upon hearing the name Luo Pengfei, everyone in the vehicle except Chen Hao let out an exclamation of surprise.

"No wonder the first time I heard the name Luo Pengfei a few days ago, it felt so familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before!" Chen Hao sighed.

Xie Xiaofeng, slapping his thigh and sighing lightly, said, "His name is Luo Jin, styled Pengfei! I should have immediately thought of Luo Pengfei when I heard that!"

Listening to the back-and-forth between Chen Hao and Xie Xiaofeng, the female vengeful ghost's eyes widened several times over, and rays of light shot out in all directions. She excitedly looked at Chen Hao and asked, "Does that mean you've found him?"

Chen Hao smiled and shook his head, "We cannot yet confirm whether this Pengfei is the same Pengfei, but it seems highly likely to me."

"Where is he? I will go find him right now!" the female vengeful ghost urged, her eyes gleaming with a mix of tears and fury.

"Hey, hey, hey! Miss, don't rush, don't rush!" Chen Hao quickly advised, "He is now a powerful Onmyoji, and you seeking him out would be tantamount to courting death. Listen to me, go back into the Soul-collecting Bottle for now. In a few days, I'm going to settle the score with him, and I'll be sure to call you out then."

After glaring at Chen Hao for a long while, the female ghost finally "hmmed" in agreement to Chen Hao's suggestion and returned to the Soul-collecting Bottle voluntarily.

"What exactly is the identity of that female ghost just now? What's her history with Luo Pengfei?" Zhao Wuji asked, as he was the only one in the vehicle unaware of the female ghost's past with Luo Pengfei.

Chen Hao did not answer Zhao Wuji's question but instead asked, "Are you afraid of that female ghost?"

With a scornful smile, Zhao Wuji said, "What's there to fear from a mere female ghost, especially since I'm also a ghost?"

"In that case, I'll put you and her in the same Soul-collecting Bottle. It'll save resources and space, and you can keep each other company and stave off boredom. Besides, didn't you just say you wanted to know about her past with Luo Pengfei? You can chat with her about it!"

"Hmm!" Zhao Wuji nodded, then voluntarily entered the Soul-collecting Bottle following the example of the female vengeful ghost.

After Chen Hao put the Soul-collecting Bottle back into the wooden box, Xie Xiaofeng asked, "Asshole, why didn't you send him to the afterlife?"

"He wanted to see my final confrontation with the Sword Demon, so I temporarily refrained from sending him to the afterlife."

"What's the deal with this Sword Demon? Is it related to your past life?"

"I'll tell you about it some other time!" Chen Hao said as he pulled open the car door and stepped out, "There are still a few common Soul Corpses in the town that haven't been cleaned up. Yuqiao and I will go deal with those. You two head to the town's middle school to find Luo Jin and her husband. We'll contact each other by phone later."

Having said that, Chen Hao extended a hand with a smile and helped Ye Yuqiao out of the car.

Watching the Exorcism Special Vehicle disappear at the intersection ahead, Chen Hao placed his right hand on Ye Yuqiao's shoulder, embracing her into his arms, and said, "Girlfriend, now that your boyfriend is right beside you, are you still nervous?"

Ye Yuqiao hummed lightly and said, "Although I'm not nervous anymore, I feel wronged?"

"Wronged about what?"

"I don't know; it's just your fault anyway!"

Chen Hao smiled helplessly and then in a coaxing tone, he said softly, "Alright, alright, I'm at fault. Little miss, please don't be mad, okay?"

..

The night was deep and quiet.

It was past two in the morning.

The chaos caused by the Soul Corpses in Anyang Town had been completely resolved, and everything had returned to its usual tranquility. Chen Hao and his group had checked into a hotel in the town and had already entered dreamland.

At this time, with light footsteps, a person slowly approached a warehouse in the town. This person was the Assistant to the President of the Onmyoji Discipline Management Association from the East Country—Ah Shin. He had just arrived outside of Anyang Town on Luo Pengfei's private jet and immediately came here without stopping.

As Ah Shin approached a puddle of blood that had already dried up near the warehouse door, four Yin Souls suddenly appeared in front of him. They were the Onmyoji responsible for transporting the Soul Corpses to Anyang Town and were all killed by Zhao Wuji. Two hours earlier, the police had inadvertently discovered their bodies and had taken away both the corpses and the truck.

After appearing in front of Ah Shin, the four Yin Souls wailed for a while before the driver in charge of the trip spoke, "Ah Shin, please make sure our bodies are transported back to D City."

"That's not going to work. It would make people suspect there's something wrong with the Yin Qi!" Ah Shin coldly refused. "Not only can we not transport your bodies back, but we also have to completely clear them away before the police start investigating your real identities."

"No, Ah Shin!" The four Yin Souls knelt before him, pleading desperately, "We all want to return to our roots."

Ah Shin snorted coldly and rebuked them, "To think you call yourselves Onmyoji, you're nothing but dead carcasses now. What's the use of wanting to return to your roots? I will apply to the President to let you return in borrowed bodies!"

"Ah! Really? Ah Shin, thank you, thank you so much!" they exclaimed.

"Enough!" Ah Shin sighed deeply, "Now can you tell me how you died?"

"We were killed by a Martial Soul Corpse. We had just torn away the Soul-stabilizing Talisman from his forehead when he stabbed us directly in the throat with his sword!"

"So, he went berserk?" Ah Shin squinted his eyes, speculating. After a long contemplation, his eyes finally returned to a natural state. Suddenly, there were sparks flying!

Dozens of fire talismans flew out from Ah Shin's body, burning the four kneeling Yin Souls to extinction.

"The cost of one return in a borrowed body is at least fifty million. You actually believed that the President would agree to such a matter!" Ah Shin said.

After leaving the warehouse, Ah Shin called Luo Pengfei to report the current situation in Anyang Town.

Unlike ordinary people, Luo Pengfei did not require sleep.

After listening to Ah Shin's report, Luo Pengfei on the other end of the phone became so angry that he smashed his cellphone to the ground.

"I didn't expect that not even ten of the strongest Martial Soul Corpses and ten of the most poisonous Poisonous Soul Corpses could handle that kid!" Luo Pengfei thought nervously and angrily, "Just how powerful is this kid!"

After sitting alone at the desk in his room and stewing in frustration for a while, Luo Pengfei turned around and knocked a few times on the wall in front of him.

As a series of bricks moved with "clang clang" noises, a dim yellow light suddenly shot out from beneath Luo Pengfei's left side, illuminating his cheek.

It was an entrance to a secret chamber underneath the room.

Luo Pengfei got up and walked down the stairs into the secret chamber under the room.

Before even pushing open the door of the chamber, Luo Pengfei could already smell a mixture of demonic Qi, Yin Qi, Demonic Qi, and beast Qi.

Inside the chamber was Luo Pengfei's secret weapon that he had never disclosed to the public. Now, this secret weapon was about to be put to use.
