Hearing this, Luo Chen frowned.
Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao, however, showed no reaction at all. In their view, was this not simply a case of ghosts? It was merely evil spirits causing trouble.
Where did the Lu family come from? Who were their masters? The renowned Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi Mansion! So, although Elder Yu’s words sounded somewhat frightening, for members of the Lu family, this matter was as easy as lifting a hand. It was too simple!
Moreover, the two supreme arts of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, whether it was the Five Thunders Orthodox Method or the Tongtian Seal, were orthodox mystical techniques that restrained evil spirits. Especially the Tongtian Seal, its power against evil spirits was undoubtedly among the best of all mystical techniques!
“So, Mr Luo, what do you think about this matter?” Elder Yu still looked towards Luo Chen, because Yu Mengmeng had secretly pulled at Elder Yu just now and then directed her gaze towards Luo Chen.
However, as soon as Elder Yu asked this question, Luo Chen directly replied, “I am sorry. I cannot help with this matter.”
Cannot help? It was not that Luo Chen did not want to help. Rather, in his view, this matter was definitely not that simple. Where was this place? Wuzhou. It was next to Dragon and Tiger Mountain. If that haunted house had existed for such a long time, at least over a hundred years, the Tianshi Mansion could not have been unaware of it. But why had the Tianshi Mansion not acted? There must be a problem here. After all, apart from the old Heavenly Master, anyone coming out of the Tianshi Mansion would likely be able to catch the ghost in that haunted house. For a haunted house inhabited by a fierce ghost to appear at the foot of the Tianshi Mountain and kill people for a long time, was this not slapping the face of the Tianshi Mansion?
But upon hearing Luo Chen’s words, Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao immediately frowned. In their view, this was just a haunted house with a fierce ghost inside. They could go over, catch it, and destroy it! This would directly earn them a huge favour from Elder Yu! The matter would be perfectly resolved.
So, after Luo Chen said he could not help, Lu Shuixian actually blamed him inwardly. In her view, Luo Chen was either putting on airs or was afraid because his cultivation could no longer be used!
Lu Zihao spoke up. “Elder Yu, for me, this is just a small matter, as easy as lifting a hand.”
But clearly, Elder Yu was seeking Luo Chen’s consent, so he did not respond.
“Elder Yu, our Lu family is originally a cultivation family dedicated to exorcising demons and defending the Dao. So this matter…”
“Lu Shuixian, if you do not want trouble, do not touch this matter,” Luo Chen said sternly.
If this were in the Immortal Realm, someone like Lu Shuixian would probably not survive a day. She had no brains at all!
But these words made Lu Shuixian raise her eyebrows. “Luo Chen, I admit that I was wrong before and did not listen to your advice. But this matter is just an ordinary haunting in a haunted house. Our Lu family has people who specialise in this.”
Lu Shuixian’s words were not false. In fact, many members of the Lu family travelled outside, specifically catching fierce ghosts and evil spirits! If mentioning ghost catching, the Lu family could probably be mentioned in the same breath as Maoshan.
“Moreover, once our Lu family’s Tongtian Seal is used, even a Ghost King would retreat three steps!” Lu Shuixian added.
Of course, although Lu Shuixian spoke grandly, in reality, she had only one goal. That was to please Elder Yu and Yu Mengmeng. This was the fundamental reason. Otherwise, Lu Shuixian would not have truly taken action.
Furthermore, this matter was completely different from the previous incident. Lu Shuixian did not believe that a person could be unlucky twice. Previously, she had not listened to Luo Chen’s advice and offended the Military God Qin Guohao. This time, she did not believe that anything would go wrong again. It was just catching a ghost. What could possibly happen?
“I said, if you do not want trouble, do not go. That haunted house has existed for so long, there must be a reason,” Luo Chen reminded them.
Then he stood up and walked out. He had already given his warning. If Lu Shuixian and the others remained so self-centred and did not listen to advice, then he could do nothing. After all, if he were not afraid that Shen Yuelan would come looking for him again, Luo Chen would not have bothered to care.
Luo Chen’s departure immediately made the atmosphere somewhat awkward.
“Hehe, Elder Yu, do not be angry. Since you, Elder Yu, have spoken, our Lu family will definitely help with this matter,” Lu Shuixian said with a dry laugh.
Lu Zihao, however, expressed dissatisfaction. “Does he really think highly of himself? Elder Yu, he has lost his cultivation and thus has no magical power, so he dares not go. This is understandable. But our Lu family will definitely act for you to resolve this matter.” Lu Zihao patted his chest to guarantee, casually stepping on Luo Chen with his words.
Lu Zihao’s thoughts were the same as Lu Shuixian’s. After all, the power of their Lu family’s Tongtian Seal was impressive. When Lu Chuan was young, he had indeed used the Tongtian Seal to beat a Ghost King until its soul scattered. To put it bluntly, Lu Zihao had also used the Tongtian Seal to destroy a Corpse King!
This had nothing to do with the level of strength. Just like Lu Shuixian, who had now half-stepped into Awakening. If a person at the second layer of Awakening came, Lu Shuixian would definitely not be their match! But if a Ghost King at the second or even third layer of Awakening came, they would definitely not be Lu Shuixian’s match! All because of the Tongtian Seal! The Tongtian Seal itself was an extremely rigid and yang mystical technique. Its restraint against evil entities could be said to be fatal.
This was why, although Lu Shuixian had suffered a loss once, she still appeared to have learned no lesson. If it were the residence of some cultivation family, perhaps Lu Shuixian would consider it seriously. But it was just an ordinary haunted house. Even if there was a Ghost King inside, she, Lu Shuixian, and Lu Zihao could easily capture it with the Tongtian Seal!
“So, about this matter?” Elder Yu was also very embarrassed. His first choice was definitely Luo Chen. But the other party’s attitude was obvious. He simply did not want to help!
“Rest assured about this matter,” Lu Shuixian said.
Lu Shuixian first asked Elder Yu to go back and prepare. They would go tonight to catch that fierce ghost.
After Elder Yu left, Lu Shuixian, for safety, still called Lu Chuan. She even called Lu Heshan.
After the matter was explained, Lu Chuan and Lu Heshan finally asked Shen Yuelan to call Luo Chen.
“Little Luo is really overthinking it this time,” even Lu Heshan said.
“Our Lu family can be described as a ghost-catching family,” Lu Heshan explained to Shen Yuelan with a smile.
He was truly at ease about the matter of catching a ghost. At the same time, he had some views on Luo Chen. In his opinion, had Luo Wuji lost his previous boldness in doing things because he had lost his strength? Was he really so timid as to be afraid of catching a ghost?
“Little Luo has lost his strength now, so his worry is understandable.”
“In that case, Mrs Shen, tell Little Luo not to bother with it,” Lu Chuan said from the side.
