"It's impossible!"
After hearing this piece of shocking news, Chen Xin and her brother exclaimed.
After all, that was the paranormal pawnshop!
Even the President would avoid it at all costs. He had once warned them that if they were to encounter it, they had to flee from that powerful curse!
How could it be destroyed so easily?
It was impossible! The Exorcists Alliance had made sacrifices and concluded that even the lowest level of ghosts in this world would be impossible to destroy!
"Which elite exorcist is the one who managed to break the curse?"
Chen Xin quickly asked.
Speaking of this, Zhan Tianhu felt that it was weird. "This person has never registered himself in the Exorcists Alliance before. He is also not a known powerful person, but a mere paranormal detective... According to the information, he is only 20."
"How is that possible?!"
In that instant, everyone was in disbelief.
"The person who sent this piece of information is one of the elder disciples of the Golden Mountain Monastery..."
Zhan Tianhu let out a bitter laugh.
The Golden Mountain Monastery was a well-known powerhouse member of the Exorcists Alliance. They would not lie about it!
"Furthermore... This person is willing to deal with other powerful ghosts and curses and is now requesting information from us... The stronger the ghost, the better..."
"Wow..."
Everyone there was stunned.
Even though they were all exorcists, they would stand almost no chance against a curse. They would also hope for weaker ghosts to deal with. Who would be so unwise to go against powerful adversaries?
This person would either be a fool or have the utmost confidence in himself!
"Who would've thought... that there would be such a talented person among us exorcists..."
Zhan Tianhu concluded. "Let's move. I can't wait to see him."
"Yes, President!"
The few of them quickly agreed. Only Chen Xin stood at where she was and appeared unjust.
Before they left the small village, Zhan Tianhu turned around and sighed. 'It's not here... I will surely find the source of all these! For myself, for my family and for mankind!'
...
Ma Paranormal Detective Corporation.
Fang Yuan crossed his legs and sat down as he started to feel the power of the Strange Level curse inside him.
'This seems like the effect of the curse of the pawnshop... After sealing the 3rd ghost, My Spirit Sealing Body not only increased by a level, I can also sense that the first ghost in me is recovering even quicker than before.'
To him, this was not the bad thing. It only meant that he had an additional Strange Level ghost to strengthen himself.
As long as he did not cross the limit in completely releasing the curses, this additional curse would benefit him instead of harm him.
Of course, if he was careless to release two Strange Level ghosts at once, he wouldn't be able to manage it even with his current stats.
'Next time, as I seal more and more ghosts and curses, the Spirit Sealing Body will become an atomic bomb. Not only would I not dare to use it recklessly, the enemy would also hope that I survive. If I were to die, the complete release of so many curses and ghosts would become the most destructive force the world would ever face.'
'However... The curse of a Strange Level paranormal presence is indeed unique... I wonder what type of abilities would the first ghost sealed in me have?'
Fang Yuan thought to himself. Suddenly, he could hear a lady's shriek.
"Hmmm?"
He stood up like a rising sun. "What's this? How dare a ghost trespass the detective corporation right in front of my nose? Or could it be the curse sealed in me being accidentally released?"
He pushed the door open and a corpse laid in the living room. A pool of dark-red blood started to spread from the corpse.
"A curse?"
Fang Yuan frowned. His body turned dark-purple and his eyes turned golden as he scanned his surroundings. He became confused. "This fog... How could it possibly hide even from my Fiery Golden Eyes?"
Such a curse would be as powerful as a Strange Level curse!
"Interesting... This doesn't seem like it's from my Spirit Sealing Body, but a foreign curse!"
Fang Yuan revealed a sinister smile.
His Spirit Sealing Body was not like a sieve. Even if he were to accidentally release a ghost or curse after getting injured, he would be able to immediately seal it back.
Obviously, this wasn't the case now.
"Get... lost!"
In that instant, Fang Yuan had decided to release 50% of the power of the Icy Zombie in him!
Under such pressure, all Murderous Level ghosts would have to retreat and even Strange Level ghosts would be exposed.
"Ding!"
The entire room shook and everything froze.
"Save... save me..."
The lady lying in the pool of blood stretched her hands out and it sounded like Ma Xiaoling.
"I want to see what you actually are..."
Fang Yuan looked on seriously as his right hand began to turn dark purple. It was as though a layer of armour was growing on him as he stretched his arm towards the lady in the pool of blood.
The lady was wearing a dress and laid on the floor. As Fang Yuan reached out to grab her, she flipped around and revealed her face which was half destroyed.
"Save... save me!"
The half-faced lady screamed. Suddenly, she reached out towards Fang Yuan and pulled him into a black hole!
"Bang!"
Fang Yuan landed on the ground and was unharmed. As he examined his surroundings, he appeared stunned.
"Is this... The Tantai Mansion?"
He was in a small backyard and the plants here gave him a sense of familiarity. This was the place which he had lived in for the first 5 years of his life.
Slowly, the patriarchal hall and Hall of Sacrifice slowly appeared in the background.
"You... cannot escape!"
Suddenly, a silhouette appeared before him and a voice echoed from afar.
"Tantai Guijing?!"
Fang Yuan looked at the family head of the Tantai Family. He had an expressionless look and continuously mumbled the same few words over and over again as blood flowed out of his eyes.
"You... cannot escape!"
Suddenly, a few more silhouettes appeared behind him. They were the family heads of the Tantai Family. However, they all appeared pale and were bleeding from their eyes. All of them resembled ghosts!
"Tantai Mieming... Come back!"
"Come back!"
"Come!"
...
The oppressing silhouettes almost overwhelmed Fang Yuan.
In the patriarchal hall, a fearsome spiritual aura filled the skies and the surroundings started to turn into something which resembled a 'Door'.
"It's... it!"
Fang Yuan appeared stunned. Finally, he knew the source of this paranormal presence. It was the curse which had plagued the Tantai Family for years!
Now, it had only displayed a few illusionary silhouettes of ghosts, but it was already enough to invoke a sense of danger into Fang Yuan.
"I cannot allow it to appear!"
A black robe appeared and draped itself of Fang Yuan and his eyes turned into black holes. "Release both at once, combining both curses!"
In that instant, he had released two types of Strange Level curses at once and had released them to the extent of his own limit!
"Rumble!"
The space around him shook and under the pressure from the curses, the silhouettes of ghosts disappeared.
Even the illusionary buildings vanished as though they were part of a dream. Both Strange Level curses started to lash out at the huge door in front of them.
"Gong! Gong!"
The cries of wronged souls filled the air and almost half of the ghosts on the door vanished.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
Cracks started to form on the door and the entire dimension started to crumble.
...
"Phew..."
In the detective corporation.
Fang Yuan in black robes abruptly opened his eyes. "That was close!"
Although he was still in the office and everything felt like an illusion, Fang Yuan was aware that the curse which had plagued the Tantai Family for years had finally come for him!
"To think about it... Although the curse will only strike hard every 20 years, during this 20 years, it will still have to kill someone every few years! Now that the Tantai Mansion is trapped in the Netherworld, it will only follow the bloodline and seek for me!"
As a member of the Tantai Family, Fang Yuan would never be able to erase the curse from himself!
It was already unexpected for Fang Yuan to be able to enjoy 15 years of peace.
"I owe this to the scapegoats of the Tantai Family. Also, because of the fact that I had sealed the first ghost upon my birth, I'm sure the Door must be affected by it..."
Fang Yuan quickly thought about the possibilities.
"The curse had been activated this time, but I had used the power of two Strange Level paranormal presences to resist it. I'm confident that it will not be able to harm me a single bit even when the cycle completes in a few years time."
The true Curse of the Green Bronze Door was the peak of all Strange Level paranormal presences and nothing could compare to it.
However, Fang Yuan was not a weakling too!
As long as Fang Yuan was not against the physical Green Bronze Door or that the Green Bronze Door was not at its maximum potential, Fang Yuan had nothing to be afraid of even if the curse were to attack him from afar.
"Of course... Although I do not fear it, this does not mean that others do not fear it!"
Fang Yuan sighed and walked out of the office.
Two bodies laid on the ground. They were Ma Wencai and Ma Xiaoling.
Ma Xiaoling was still in a good condition. Although she had fainted, she gripped on tightly to a protective talisman and a dim glow covered her and the neighbouring Ma Wencai.
This plump-looking uncle seemed to be almost on the brink of death and was on his final breath.
"Sigh... It seems like I have to leave now!"
Fang Yuan felt a little apologetic for unintentionally causing this mess.
Fortunately, the disaster was contained. With his superior medicinal skills and skills in making concoctions, as long as the two of them were still alive, he would still be able to save them.
"Hmm? It seems like something bad has already happened..."
While he was treating the both of them, he could sense something. As he looked towards the direction of the Tantai Mansion, he sighed.
...
At the same time.
In the deserted mountains where the Tantai Mansion was.
Thunder roared and a layer of black fog appeared.
Slowly, an ancient-looking mansion started to appear.
After Fang Yuan had retaliated against eh curse, the survivors of the Tantai Family in the Netherworld took this opportunity to attempt a return to reality!
In that instant, the Netherworld started to converge with reality. However, no matter how hard the Tantai Mansion tried to become real, it was still unable to do so.
Finally, after a few moments, the black fog started to dissipate.
The Tantai Mansion started to become illusionary once more.
However, a silhouette had successfully turned into reality!
"The elders have fought for this opportunity for me to return to reality... Tantai Mieming, you cannot escape!"
The silhouette mumbled to itself and seemed to be filled with hatred!
