Mysterious Resurrection: Proof from the Red and White Duo

Chapter 65 A Collision Under Probing

The figure was not tall, but its clothing was very old-fashioned, unlike that of people from this era.

The man in the lead wore a long gown and looked exactly like a storyteller.

The person next to him was wearing a Zhongshan suit and was carrying something in his hand.

Those appear to be iron chains.

The four people looked at each other in pairs, one standing in front of the fork in the road and the other with their backs to the back of the walkway.

"Brother Chu, those two people up ahead seem suspicious. The ghost blood within me is stirring; could they be ghosts lurking in this hotel?"

He looked at the other person with stern vigilance.

Chu Mo felt the same way. Yan Li's words were true; the other party was indeed dangerous, but not a ghost.

Because that person was one of the top ghost controllers among the second generation of the Republic of China.

Zhang Xianguang.

This man dedicated his entire life to completing a project called Peach Blossom Spring.

In this plan, the mummy bride and the ghost painting are the most important parts.

"Did you come here specifically to see me?"

Chu Mo was unsure, but he would definitely not be careless.

The other side is not the bunch of ragtag players from Zhongzhou Club.

At this moment, Zhang Xian, who was standing behind Zhang Xianguang, suddenly lit up and pointed at the woman next to Chu Mo, saying, "Zhang Xianguang, it seems we're quite lucky. Not only has that dried-up corpse bride escaped, but she's right in front of us now."

Zhang Xianguang was also staring intently at the white-clad youth's left hand, which was being held.

She was a woman dressed in a wedding gown.

It was indeed what I was looking for.

Zhang Xian frowned, seemingly sensing something was amiss. He said, "This ghost's condition is off; it seems to have been controlled by that young man."

At first, he thought the young man being led was just a victim of an attack by the dried-up corpse bride.

But when the other party did not show any abnormalities, and even the summoning posture triggered by the medium did not appear, he realized that it was not as easy as he thought.

"Zhang Xianguang, it seems we'll have to use some methods to get rid of this ghost," Zhang Xian said in a deep voice.

"No rush. This young man seems to have simply balanced the supernatural connection with the dried-up corpse bride using another ghost. This balance is very fragile and can be broken with the slightest interference."

Zhang Xianguang flicked his wrist, and an old-fashioned broadsword appeared in his hand.

As the broadsword was raised, Chu Mo's pupils contracted, and he immediately scattered the paper money into the air.

With their current supernatural abilities, the Red and White Duo cannot possibly defeat Zhang Xianguang.

As the old man in the copper coin robe appeared behind him, the ashen, lifeless figure resembled a colorless funeral portrait, completely out of place in this world.

"Kill him."

Chu Mo whispered.

The next second, the seven-yuan denomination paper money vanished completely in mid-air.

The old man in the copper coin robe acted instantly.

The four ghosts of Xuantong Tongbao attacked Zhang Xianguang at an extremely fast speed.

This forced Zhang Xianguang, who had originally intended to cut off Chu Mo's left hand, to switch targets.

In his vision, the scene before him resembled a photograph torn into countless fragments, with cracks appearing haphazardly and without any discernible pattern.

And the four ghosts of the Xuantong Tongbao coin appear precisely in these fragmented images.

Zhang Xianguang simultaneously slashed at the four fierce ghosts in front of him.

From a torn perspective, the four ghosts were directly split apart by the large sword.

In reality, the bodies of the four ghosts in the Xuantong Tongbao coin also seemed to be attacked in some way, and they were all cut in half without warning.

Zhang Xianguang squinted, his expression gradually becoming serious.

This young man not only possessed two kinds of supernatural power, but also the old ghost behind him...

Just as Zhang Xianguang was thinking this, the four severed ghosts turned grayish-white and quickly changed their appearance.

They all transformed into the appearance of the old man in the copper coin robe behind the other party.

"It was forcibly severed by my greatsword and can still revive—is it a reboot or an intrusion?"

Zhang Xianguang couldn't understand how his broadsword could cut a ghost's supernatural power in two, like cutting a puzzle piece in half.

Once attacked, the ghost will split into two different supernatural entities and fall into a state of dormancy for a short period of time.

But the four ghosts in front of them did not do that; instead, they became new vengeful spirits.

This made him realize that something was wrong.

Zhang Xian was also watching from the sidelines, but the moment the old man in the copper coin robe appeared and replaced the four ghosts, his pupils shrank, and he immediately warned:

"Oh no... that's a ghost from the money exchange! Zhang Xianguang, stop immediately! Something's wrong with this young man!"

"A ghost from a money exchange?"

Zhang Xianguang's expression was solemn. Without any hesitation, he immediately abandoned his plan to continue the attack.

"Let's go!" he said in a deep voice.

The moment the words left his mouth, a winding path appeared out of nowhere, extending from the crossroads.

The two turned and stepped onto the path, quickly heading towards its end.

As he was leaving, Zhang looked back once, and that one glance almost made his legs go weak.

Because just a second before the path behind them disappeared, the four old men in copper coin robes had already caught up.

Those withered, grayish hands were just centimeters away from grabbing his collar.

He could imagine that once he was locked up by this ghost, even Zhang Xianguang wouldn't be able to save him.

"Damn it, who exactly is that young man? I've never heard of him in the current paranormal community!"

Zhang Xian gritted his teeth, his fear undiminished.

He looked at Zhang Xianguang, who remained silent, his face filled with solemnity.

The mummy bride is now under the control of that young man, which means that the plan she has been preparing for all these years will be difficult to implement again.

To move forward, we must find a way to snatch the mummified bride from that young man.

But the old ghost behind the other party was truly terrifying.

Although I was confident I could handle a direct confrontation, based on our previous encounter, it's highly likely that this ghost possessed additional abilities.

If that's the case, then things will be difficult.

"Go back to the post office first and inform Nie Yingping and Zhang Ying so they know about this."

Inside the Caesars Hotel.

Chu Mo lingered at the edge of the corridor, Zhang Xianguang's departure making him even more vigilant.

The dried-up bride is a hot commodity; Ghost Painting is looking for it, and so is Zhang Xianguang.

Looking at the last four yuan in their hands, the two sides did not talk this time, but directly tested each other.

"That guy wasn't using his full strength, and he also seemed to be wary of the old man in the copper coin robe. They know about the money exchange."

After hearing what Zhang Xian said, Chu Mo roughly understood the situation.

Even so, he still felt a certain degree of threat.

As long as Zhang Xianguang still wants to complete the Peach Blossom Spring Project;

As long as the mummy bride remains part of this plan.

Then only one of them, Zhang Xianguang and I, can succeed.

Without lingering there, the two quickly left the Caesars Grand Hotel.

"Looks like we need to speed things up."

Chu Mo decided to lie down in the ghost coffin early, trying to make the dried-up corpse bride and himself become one.
