The True Young Master's Metaphysical Road to Fame in Showbiz Ch. 59

The five of them walked out of the farmhouse, and sure enough, they didn't encounter the "ghost wall" again. They made it into the village without issue.

At the village entrance, they found Ling Jiao's cousin, who had stable life signs but had mysteriously fainted, still clutching a delivery box of clothes.

Ling Jiao's eyes instantly reddened. She kicked the box away, helped her cousin up, and hurried back.

One of the staff helped her support the girl, while the others tried again and again at the village's edge, but no matter what, they couldn't leave the confines of Yinping Village.

The three of them, feeling deflated, started heading back, but along the way, they managed to focus a bit of their attention on observing the village.

Soon, they discovered that everyone in the village, like Ling Jiao's cousin, had inexplicably fallen unconscious. Some had even collapsed on the side of the road, their foreheads swollen from the fall.

The entire village was eerily quiet, except for a dilapidated house by the roadside where a woman sat at the door, wide awake.

This woman had delicate and beautiful features, and her face vaguely hinted at the grace she must have had when she was younger.

She sat on the threshold, her eyes unnaturally bright, and her laugh was hoarse and maniacal.

"Retribution, retribution!" she cackled.

She repeated this sentence over and over, her voice filled with a strange, twisted joy.

The three of them shuddered in fear, taking a few steps back before turning and running at full speed.

The woman didn't get up to chase them; instead, she watched them leave with a meaningful look, her smile growing even more eerie.

The three of them pulled and tugged as they ran back to the farmhouse, and upon seeing the director, they hurriedly explained what they had just witnessed.

The director and the others had originally thought they would be leaving Yinping Village soon, but after hearing their descriptions, their faces turned grim.

The producer helplessly said, "What in the world is going on here?"

The others were equally clueless, shaking their heads in confusion. They instinctively looked towards Chi Qingzhou.

Chi Qingzhou didn't respond.

The woman who was awake was likely Zhu Yantong's crazed shifu, the Grand Witch Nuo Qi.

Based on the three's descriptions, it was hard to say whether she had completely lost her sanity.

Chi Qingzhou walked over to Song Yuzhi, confirming that his knee was only bruised, with no damage to the bones or tendons, so it wouldn't affect his movement. He pulled him up from the chair.

"Let's go." Chi Qingzhou said, "Ah Lai is a Great Shaman and Nuoqi, as a Grand Witch, should know something. We need to meet her first."

Song Yuzhi, still confused, responded with a dazed acknowledgment and quickly stood up to follow Chi Qingzhou.

Meanwhile, outside Yinping Village.

A rescue team dispatched by the Paranormal Bureau, all from Qingshui Province, arrived at their destination in just a few minutes using special methods.

The nine team members attempted to break through the barrier surrounding Yinping Village based on their past experiences. They tried three different methods, but none of them succeeded in entering the village.

The team leader had his inner breath disrupted by the barrier. He swallowed the metallic taste of blood in his mouth and stared tightly at a few lush locust trees at the village entrance, his brows furrowing deeply.

The deputy leader's face turned pale as she clutched her aching chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Captain, something's wrong. The pressure here is too intense. My sense of danger isn't working at all. I feel like I could die any second!"

She was a renowned diviner from Qingshui Province, known for her extraordinary danger perception abilities, which had saved her comrades from life-threatening situations numerous times.

Hearing this, the team leader's expression darkened. "Where's the detection equipment? Start analyzing the data from Yinping Village!"

Several team members quickly set up the instruments, and within three minutes, the results were in.

The entire Yinping Village, including the nearby Yuhua Mountains, was enveloped by an overwhelming amount of yin energy, resentment, and ghostly energy.

The originally pure spiritual energy of the mountains had mixed with these energies, and rather than suppressing them, it only made the situation even more chaotic.

The values on the instruments were far beyond the warning threshold, more than three times the limit. The shrill alarms echoed through the valley, making everyone's expression grow exceedingly serious.

The team leader whispered, "I remember, after all the Great Shamans of the Puluo tribe die, they can reform into ghost deities?"

The deputy leader responded, "Yes."

The team leader closed his eyes for a moment, making a swift decision. "Send an urgent request for assistance to headquarters right now! I suspect that one of the Puluo tribe's ghost deities has already mutated!"

Mutated ghost deities were typically only a bit weaker than the apocalyptic-level vengeful spirits, and some of the more powerful ones could even fight against them!

The group's hearts froze, a mix of shock and fear. They quickly glanced towards the Yuhua Mountains before swiftly getting to work.

The Paranormal Bureau, which had been monitoring Yinping Village's situation, was thrown into chaos as soon as they received the report.

Ignoring the mockery and disdain from the Xuanshu Association, they quickly mobilized all available top-tier forces and immediately opened the path to the Underworld, traveling through the Yin Path to reach Yinping Village.

The Xuanshu Association, unwilling to remain passive, also dispatched a few elites to assist.

A dozen or so people arrived at the village's entrance as quickly as possible, only to encounter the same problem the rescue team had—the mysterious barrier stopped them from entering the mountains.

Everyone understood what this meant. The members of the Paranormal Bureau tried several times to break through, but still couldn't open the barrier.

A Taoist priest wearing a dark Taoist robe shook his head, his voice heavy. "Ghost deities may not be as powerful as true gods, but they're still considered deities. This is no longer within our reach. To resolve this completely, we'll have to rely on the young friend still in the village."

Both sides knew he was referring to Chi Qingzhou. Though the Paranormal Bureau members were solemn, there was still a trace of hope in their hearts.
