After a while.
In the empty and quiet hotel room, an unspeakable awkwardness permeated the atmosphere.
"M-Master, it really is you! You... you... you've arrived so quickly!"
Ren Minmin's face was flushed, clearly recalling her earlier attempts to probe through the door.
It couldn't be entirely blamed on her, after all, who could have imagined that the Master's height, when viewed through the peephole, would be completely obscured?
It was only right for her to be cautious, given the great calamity in her fate.
Yaoyao shook her head. "It's not wrong for you to be cautious, little sister!"
Her eyes sparkled like black gemstones.
She was very approving of the reaction of the destined person. She had already pointed out the danger to her, and if she had carelessly opened the door for someone, she would have been truly foolish.
"Then... then... what should we do now?"
Seeing that the Master's expression and tone showed no signs of anger, Ren Minmin breathed a long sigh of relief.
Then, without losing her head, she directly asked the question that concerned her the most.
Yaoyao smiled. "It's very simple, lure the snake out of its hole."
Her original plan was to directly capture the evil spirit. This would be very difficult for other Xuanmen cultivators.
Not only was it difficult to remove the Xuan Yin magic, but their bond was also too deep.
If it were forcibly severed, it was possible that the little sister would still die.
Yaoyao had the Soul Hook. This artifact was naturally targeted at soul bodies and could capture the evil spirit without harming people.
However, she didn't act immediately because, on her way there, she sensed that the Xuan Master was nearby.
That Xuan Master was the mastermind. If she removed the evil spirit, the opponent would definitely sense it.
If the latter was cautious, he would likely flee directly. If he found another place, it wouldn't be impossible for him to refine the Xuan Yin technique again, leading to more innocent families and lives.
Therefore, Yaoyao's plan was also very simple: cut the grass and remove the roots, and capture that bad guy!
"Although I don't understand what Master means, I will cooperate in any way you say."
Ren Minmin nodded without doubt, giving her unconditional trust.
"Mmm, I will protect you well, little sister, and won't let you get hurt."
Yaoyao was somewhat surprised by this. Her bright, dark eyes were full of seriousness. Suppressing the little bit of magic the other party possessed would be no difficulty for her.
However, out of caution, Yaoyao checked twice before she was relieved.
Yaoyao rubbed her hands excitedly. Now, all they had to do was wait for the big fish to take the bait!
...
Hotel Lobby
A man suddenly appeared in the lobby. His attire was vastly different from everyone else's.
He was wrapped in a black cloak, his face hidden beneath it, completely indiscernible to outsiders.
Logically speaking, such a strange outfit would attract attention anywhere. Yet, as he walked past, everyone in the lobby seemed to completely ignore him, allowing him to board the elevator.
The man pressed the button for the seventeenth floor.
Upon arriving, he took out a compass from his cloak and casually stroked the dial. Following the compass's needle, it began to vibrate wildly.
It spun rapidly, finally pointing steadily towards the room furthest inside.
As the man approached, he saw that the room number was clearly marked as 1702.
"Finally... I found you." The cloaked man's voice was hoarse.
His broken voice sounded as if it hadn't been used in decades, and even his intonation was strangely indescribable.
But even so, through the black robe, one could discern his joy. After all, he had been planning for over ten years for this day, and the forbidden spell had not yet been broken.
This meant that the methods he had set up had truly succeeded.
"Qiu Xingzhen, once I complete the master-recognition ritual for that great ghost, our grievances should come to an end."
It turned out that the black-robed man had been pursued by the Xuanmen for stealing forbidden Xuanmen techniques.
It was a testament to his luck that he had managed to evade them every time. However, he was a man who held grudges.
His nemesis had limited talent, at most reaching the threshold of the third stage. His own cultivation was inferior to his.
Therefore, to exact revenge, it was absolutely impossible to rely on normal cultivation. The only way was to raise a great ghost.
After all, ordinary red ghosts could rival a fourth-stage Xuan Master. Once a great ghost was raised, it would undoubtedly become a ghost general, making it incredibly easy to achieve revenge.
He had waited for this day for so many years, and it was finally coming to fruition, so how could he not be excited?
However, the black-robed man had not yet lost his reason. He did not enter the room directly but cautiously released a small ghost to scout.
Within a few breaths, the small ghost returned, but it found no abnormalities. He breathed a long sigh of relief and, without hesitation, entered the room, intending to forcefully claim his prize.
Once he had the great ghost for protection, he could completely shed the label of an evil cultivator who was widely reviled. However, he had imagined things too smoothly, and too much smoothness itself was a huge pitfall.
The moment he entered the room, he saw a child sitting cross-legged inside, slouching nonchalantly.
As the latter looked at him with his bright, dark eyes, his rosy lips slowly opened.
"Finally decided to come in? I thought you were going to run away at the last minute!"
"However, it's too late even if you want to run now.
Come with me to the Xuanmen."
The speaker was none other than Yaoyao, who had been waiting.
At this moment, a smile played on her lips, clearly an expression of mockery.
Upon hearing the words "Xuanmen," the face shrouded by the robe contorted in terror.
Although he didn't know where the little doll in front of him came from, nor did he dare to test her, as survival was the top priority at this moment, he immediately threw out two yellow talismans without a second thought.
Then, without looking back, he fled towards the outside.
All of this happened in a flash of lightning. If one wasn't quick enough, they would indeed have let him escape.
Unfortunately, he had encountered Yaoyao, which meant he didn't even have the qualification to struggle.
"Trying to leave now? Too late. Stay and explain yourself."
Just as the latter was still trying to struggle, Yaoyao said indifferently.
She slowly extended one hand and pointed at him from afar. The black-robed man immediately fell to his knees uncontrollably, as if bearing the weight of five mountains.
This terrifying and strange turn of events made his entire face turn deathly pale, and only one thought remained in his mind.
He seemed to have kicked an iron plate!
