Realm of the Night God

Chapter 719: Soul Suppression Tower (1)

In this world, there are many professionals who specialize in dealing with ghosts. The people present were all invited by Zhang Changchun to help deal with ghosts, and each of them had their own unique and powerful methods. In a sense, they were all professionals in dealing with ghosts.

However, if one had to say who among these professionals was more skilled, it would undoubtedly be Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing. As Underworld Envoys, they possessed Yin spirit power that had a strong suppressive effect on ghosts, giving them a significant advantage. It was no exaggeration to call them ghost-suppressing stars.

So, when Xu Meijing spoke, although she sounded arrogant, she indeed had the qualifications to be so. At least in terms of dealing with ghosts, she had the right to be arrogant.

As soon as Xu Meijing finished speaking, Zhang Changchun's face lit up with joy.

"Divine Envoy Xu, please rest assured. The Zhang family's reward will definitely satisfy everyone. As long as you can rescue my son, I'm willing to pay any price, no matter how high."

Zhang Changchun hastily expressed his stance, although he didn't specify how much the reward would increase. However, his words were already clear: the reward would be satisfying.

"Mr. Zhang, the reward is one thing, but let's first talk about the ghost we're dealing with."

It was Yang Haoran who spoke up, always cautious and unwilling to easily agree to others' requests. If the ghost's power was too strong and beyond their current abilities, he would decisively give up on the mission and persuade Xu Meijing to leave with him, rather than risking their lives.

Of course, if the ghost's power wasn't overwhelming, he wouldn't mind gaining a substantial profit.

"Yang Divine Envoy is right. Let's first understand the information about this ghost before discussing further."Ma Yuanjin spoke up, agreeing with Yang Haoran's opinion. He wanted to know the ghost's strength and assess whether their side had the power to take it down.

Moreover, only by understanding the ghost's strength could they better negotiate the reward and obtain a satisfactory payment.

Yang Haoran had spoken, and Xu Meijing naturally didn't say much. She looked at Zhang Changchun, seemingly waiting for his response.

The others didn't speak, but they all turned their gaze to Zhang Changchun, including Zhang Changqing.

"This time, the ghost we're dealing with is extremely powerful. Its ferocity is definitely not weaker than the ghost that kidnapped my Third Brother. Moreover, some of you may have heard about this ghost's deeds. Especially Divine Envoy Xu and Old Ma, you should have the most knowledge about this ghost."

Zhang Changchun's words piqued the interest of several people on the scene, while also arousing their doubts.

"Don't just say half of it. This way, you'll only end up giving out more rewards." Xu Meijing spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Changchun smiled awkwardly and continued.

"I believe Divine Envoy Xu is familiar with the powerful mystical artifact, Soul Suppression Tower. The ghost they want to obtain is currently being suppressed beneath the Soul Suppression Tower."

As soon as Zhang Changchun mentioned the Soul Suppression Tower, Xu Meijing's expression changed, and the others on the scene, except for Yang Haoran and Wang Yiming, looked shocked and disbelieving.

Yang Haoran and Wang Yiming looked puzzled, unsure what the Soul Suppression Tower was or what kind of power it possessed. However, they clearly saw the reactions of the others, knowing that the Soul Suppression Tower was no small matter, and the ghost being suppressed beneath it must be extremely powerful.

"You daring to hit that ghost?"

Xu Meijing looked at Zhang Changchun, her face slightly surprised, and opened her mouth to confirm what Zhang Changchun had just said.

"It's not my main idea, but I have no other choice right now."

Zhang Changchun's face showed a helpless expression, and he let out a sigh, looking like he was being forced into it.

"Elder Zhang, have you forgotten that it took a huge price to suppress that ghost under the Soul Suppression Tower in the first place? Are you sure you can succeed?"

Ma Yuanjin's face showed disbelief, and it was clear from his reaction that he had some knowledge about the ghost suppressed under the Soul Suppression Tower.

"I'm clearer than anyone about the price we paid to suppress that ghost. If possible, I wouldn't want to do it, but it's not me, Zhang Changchun, who wants to hit it. It's another ghost that wants to hit it, and I have to do it for Third Brother's life because I have no other choice."

Zhang Changchun spoke with a helpless tone, pausing for a moment before continuing.

"Moreover, this time is different from last time. This time, we have Divine Envoy Xu and Yang Divine Envoy, two Underworld Envoys, who are experts in controlling ghosts. Plus, you are all top-notch existences in my Ancheng circle, and my uncle's power is far above mine. With so much power combined, we have no problem dealing with that ghost, because I know its strength, so I have the right to say this."

After Zhang Changchun finished speaking, Ma Yuanjin's face turned serious, and he seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn't. Xu Meijing's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and she didn't speak either, her thoughts unknown.

Except for Yang Haoran and Wang Yiming, everyone else had furrowed eyebrows, seemingly thinking about something. Yang Haoran and Wang Yiming, on the other hand, had even more puzzled expressions, as they didn't know much about the Soul Suppression Tower.

Seeing that everyone was thinking, Zhang Changchun didn't rush them and instead turned his gaze to Yang Haoran, who had a puzzled expression.

He naturally noticed Yang Haoran and Wang Yiming's puzzled looks, but he only looked at Yang Haoran because, in his heart, Yang Haoran's status and power were unmatched by Wang Yiming. Therefore, he had to personally explain to Yang Haoran and clear up his doubts.

As for Wang Yiming, he could understand as much as he could, and if he didn't understand, it didn't matter. Zhang Changchun wouldn't waste his precious time on Wang Yiming, who was just a follower of his uncle.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was thinking, Zhang Changchun decided to use this time to explain to Yang Haoran.

"Yang Divine Envoy, as Lecheng's Burial Master, you probably don't know much about the Soul Suppression Tower."

Zhang Changchun opened his mouth, looking like he was about to explain to Yang Haoran. Yang Haoran smiled and looked at him, but the puzzled expression in his eyes didn't fade.

"Heh heh, I don't know much about the Soul Suppression Tower. Please enlighten me, Mr. Zhang."

Yang Haoran didn't pretend to know something he didn't, and he was willing to learn.

"I was about to explain. I believe Yang Divine Envoy knows that we exorcists almost all have our own mystical artifacts, and the greatest use of mystical artifacts is to enhance our combat power. And this Soul Suppression Tower is the Zhang family's top-notch mystical artifact."

Yang Haoran's face showed a slight surprise when he heard this. He hadn't thought that the Soul Suppression Tower was the Zhang family's top mystical artifact. He had thought it was left behind by some senior expert and happened to suppress a powerful ghost underneath.

Although he was surprised, he didn't speak and instead waited for Zhang Changchun to continue.

"Years ago, a very powerful ghost appeared in Ancheng. To deal with it, the previous Burial Master of Ancheng came to me, needing my help to eliminate the ghost. I had a good relationship with him, so I didn't refuse. At the time, due to the suddenness of the event, we didn't have many helpers, so that battle was very tough for us. To take down the ghost, I eventually had to use the Zhang family's most powerful mystical artifact, the Soul Suppression Tower, to suppress it underneath. And he lost his life in the process."
