Qin Weiping realized that he got possessed, which made all the hairs on his body stand.

Simultaneously, the self-proclaimed 'super awesome' Shaman Nan Kui's condition wasn't any better than Qin Weiping. With a pale face, he peered into the pitch-black abyss in alarm..

The other officials were panicking as well.

"It's the work of a ghost!"

They were at the party venue but found themselves lying at the construction site after waking up, and this site was a haunted one. The horror they felt at that moment was unimaginable, causing them to scream and flee the scene.

How could they bother to keep up the appearances and style of an upper-class elite? They swarmed towards the site's entrance. Even if a lady tripped down, no one bothered to help.

Cheng Lingsu and the other women were also frightened and escaped along with the crowd.

"Susu!"

"Mom!"

The scene was similar to refugees fleeing from a calamity, complete chaos.

"How is this possible?"

Qing Weiping's face went paler as shock, fear, and anger filled his mind. He grabbed the collar of Shaman Nan Kui, roaring at him, "Didn't you say your magic force is stronger than Grandmaster Luoxia's!?"

"E-Explain t-this situation to me!"

The previous strange events were just rumors as these officials hadn't seen it with their own eyes. But now, more than half the officials of Jiang City had experienced it personally. If this news were to spread out, the Myriad Base City Plaza project would undoubtedly get axed.

There were even government employees here!

Shaman Nan Kui was also stupefied. Even he didn't understand what happened and didn't know the reason as to why he got possessed. "The Soul Shrine got shattered, causing the thing inside to break free from the Shrine. No one can save this land now."

Qin Weiping felt his entire body lose power, making him release his grip. The shock and anger had all disappeared, replaced by an expression of endless despair.

The Myriad Base City Plaza project was done for.

Completely ruined!

Bai Feng and the rest, standing to the side, slowly recovered from the shock as well. He didn't run away, it wasn't because he was fearless but rather that he didn't want to flee like the others. He reminded Qin Weiping, "How about asking Grandmaster Luoxia?"

"He wants 50% of my equity shares!"

"If this isn't settled, the government will stop this project. At that moment, Myriad Base will collapse under the bank interest and have to declare bankruptcy."

"…"

Those words were like a sharp needle stabbing into his heart. He knew that Myriad Base will go bankrupt if the project is halted. It was just that he didn't dare to have such thoughts and didn't want to think of such a scenario.

"You'll still have 20% after giving away the 50%. Otherwise, not a single percent would be left."

During the time they had this conversation, except for the shamans and a few courageous people, everyone else had all fled. The site had recovered its placidity.

Qin Weiping said hopelessly, "That's the only way left."

He wanted to look for Jiang Xiu but didn't have his contact details, so he naturally called Tang Zhenshan. However, he heard the sound of a cell phone ringing at the site's entrance. Jiang Xiu was walking into the place at this moment, accompanied by the grandfather-grandson duo of the Tang family.

Looking at their appearance, it seemed they weren't possessed.

Qin Weiping felt quite conflicted when he saw Jiang Xiu. He will have to give away the wealth he had spent more than half of his youth to accumulate. He felt quite reluctant. "Grandmaster Luoxia, I'm willing to present 50% of Myriad Base's shares as a reward. Please settle the supernatural problem here."

He still wore a hesitant expression as he said it, and the feeling it gave was as if Jiang Xiu was extorting him.

Jiang Xiu remained silent as if he had already expected him to say that.

He slowly walked over and said with a dull tone, "That was the previous price."

Qin Weiping's eyes widened, "What do you mean?"

"70%."

Whoosh!

Everyone there made a commotion.

T-This is too ruthless, isn't it? He wants to really take Qin Weiping's life. His and his wife's shares amount to just 70%, and you want to take such a huge amount away with just a word.

"What?"

Qin Weiping couldn't believe his own ears.

"This Deity had given you a chance out of pity, which was 50% but you didn't treasure it."

"It's 70% now, not a percent less."

Qin Weiping's face turned colors. Only at this moment did he understand who he was confronting. The pride possessed by a power holder left no way for him to haggle over the price.

Just as Jiang Xiu had said, that 50% was a favor out of pity since the Myriad Base City Plaza project would end in case he didn't act. Qin Weiping's only ending would be to go bankrupt. If he had accepted beforehand, he'd still have 20% shares. But now, nothing would remain with him.

The Tang family's grandfather-grandson duo could only sigh. Fortunately, their Tang family had reacted immediately and made up for the one time they had offended Jiang Xiu. Otherwise, they would've ended up the same as Qin Weiping.

The veneration towards Jiang Xiu they felt increased. The strong must never be insulted.

Qin Weiping became furious, "Grandmaster Luoxia, aren't you acting a bit too greedy? You want me to slave away with just a word."

"If I gave 70% of Myriad Base's shares over to you, what would I even do with this project?"

"You can refuse. No one is forcing you."

"However, take note of this Deity's words. Even that amount of equity shares is this Deity's favor. This Deity can just wait for you to go bankrupt and then take over this place."

The thing inside the Soul Shrine was already outside. This land would become its habitat. As they did in the ancient times, no one visited places haunted by the supernatural and they'd be neglected.

But it was a completely different situation in this era.

The country was doing its utmost to expand, and this place was also located at the center of the city. There was no way they'd abandon it. Finally, even the government would have to reach out to Jiang Xiu to handle this. They'd ask him to purify this land and also even pay a hefty sum to make sure Jiang Xiu finishes the construction.

Hence, what Jiang Xiu was offering was also a favor from him.

Qin Weiping's face lost all color. He knew Jiang Xiu wasn't bluffing. The Tang family stood behind Jiang Xiu, and even the government will pour money into it when Jiang Xiu develops this land. Along with the support from the Tang family, a residential area will pop out if it was desired or a shopping mall if that was in-demand. Myriad Base would have no participation in it.

He thought about it for a bit. If he went bankrupt, he'd have nothing left and not even have the capital to make a comeback. If he handed over 70% of the shares to Jiang Xiu, he'd still have something left. If the project turns out as a success with profit, he'd have a few million.

Thinking till here, he said with a dejected tone. "Okay, I agree to Grandmaster Luoxia's terms."

Everyone sighed after hearing this.

In the end, he had to agree!

Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, "You shall operate this project, I won't be meddling in it!"

He was even planning to reap the benefits by doing nothing.

Qin Weiping had poured his heart's blood into the Myriad Base City Plaza project. All of his capital was invested into this. He also didn't want Jiang Xiu to meddle and make a mess out of it. Even if Jiang Xiu possessed magical powers, he believed that he possessed better skills in the way of doing business than Jiang Xiu.

After saying this, Jiang Xiu walked into the darkness alone.

"He said big words and even took someone's entire life away with just a word. If he isn't able to solve this problem, he' would surely lose a lot of face." Shaman Nan Kui muttered.

"That's an existence which even a personage at the Foundation Establishment stage couldn't deal with."

Little Master Teacher also spoke in agreement, "Let's see if he comes out alive."

After Jiang Xiu walked in a bit, a little-secluded path appeared before his eyes. He went forwards along it at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow. When he raised his head, there was a temple at the end of the path.

He came in front of the temple. There were a few letters written on the board attached to the temple's gate: True Monarch Temple.

There were many True Monarchs, both in the legends as well as those occupying the top positions. Jiang Xiu smiled faintly. So foolish. Isn't this similar to how someone enters the city hall and then sees the words 'Director's Office' written on a door?

Who knows which Director it is.

Jiang Xiu walked inside and didn't even bother to knock. He pushed the door open slowly. The night was quite gloomy, but the scenery inside the temple appeared vibrant and fresh.

The sides of the road were tiled, and the path led to the main hall. A giant sculpture of a god was erected inside the inner hall, its appearance malevolent and aura oppressive. Incense was burning in front of the statue, smoke rising in spirals out from there. The surroundings were tranquil and it seemed deathly still. Even the sound of the wind wasn't audible. If it were anyone else, they'd have experienced goosebumps already.

"Come out!"

Jiang Xiu's pupils expanded crazily, his eyes turned completely black soon after. His aura transformed all of a sudden; a gale rose up inside the main hall, bringing sounds of thunder and lightning with it.

This kind of grand feat wasn't something that a strange demonic thing could accomplish.

"You aren't human."
