"An Arcane Spell! It's an Arcane Spell!" Zheng Tieshan stood there dumbfounded for a long time before yelling out in a loud voice. He was extremely shocked. The heavy rain poured on him with force.
"Master Zhang, what's an Arcane Spell?" A Shaman to the side asked, feeling that it must be something amazing.
"Arcane Spells are a long-lost ancient inheritance. They are the peak of the spellcasting realm." Zheng Tieshan spoke as if he was speaking about something taboo, "It can even force the power of the divinities for personal use."
"As everyone knows, the spells that we Shamans use actually come from offering sacrifice towards the Immortal Gods to borrow their power for our use. Some borrow the power from the Yellow Immortal, some from Phantoms, and the sect disciples borrow from their Ancestral Master. In short, all of these methods use a way of prayer to borrow the power of the divinities."
"And Arcane Spells can use the divinities as a vassal…"
The others were overwhelmed when they heard this. It was quite unimaginable for an insignificant human to use the divinities as a vassal.
"Didn't he say that he burned the Dragon King's home just now?!"
Zhang Tieshan nodded solemnly, "That's right. This is the marvelousness of the Arcane Spells. The spell had connected the Dragon King's Shrine's ritual doll to the genuine Dragon King's Shrine and then set it on fire. This was equivalent to burning the Dragon King's home so the Dragon King was then forced to make it rain in order to extinguish the fire."
This heavy rain was originally brought by the Dragon King in order to stop the flame on the ritual doll!!
Qin Weiping asked, "I wonder if Master Zhang can also do this?" He scorned Jiang Xiu and caused him to leave in anger. He also didn't expect that Jiang Xiu was actually so powerful so he felt very terrified.
"That's…"
Zhang Tieshan made an awkward face; the relative superiority was already obvious at a glance.
He'd only incur ridicule if he boasted again.
But it can also be said that Jiang Xiu had taught him a lesson and let him widen his horizons through burning the Dragon King's Shrine then forcing the Dragon King to make it rain. There was no other choice than to admit the unbounded wisdom Jiang Xiu revealed. An even more astonishing fact was the linking between the Dragon King's Shrine's ritual doll and the genuine Dragon King's Shrine, which only proved that it was a true Arcane Spell.
Linking the ritual doll and the Dragon King's Shrine was already outrageous furthermore Jiang Xiu had completed this feat with just a spell in a snap of a finger, forcing the Dragon God to make it rain. This was too shocking.
"I'm… I'm…"
"Ashamed!"
Zhang Tieshan remained speechless and could only shake his head in shame. He bragged about being this era's Grandmaster but even he had realized now that there was always someone above.
"Only…"
Although Jiang Xiu was quite strong, Zhang Tieshan didn't believe his judgment was wrong. When he returned to take a look at the 'Three-Forked Fiend Pit', he fell into a daze. That faint Fiendish energy assembling in the depths of the three-forked pit had become clear after the heavy rain.
"H-how is this possible?"
Zhang Tieshan's complexion turned ashen. I was wrong. This isn't a 'Three-Forked Fiend Pit' it's just a common Yin-Burdened Land. The Fiendish energy gathered there was completely washed away by the heavy rain. It often rained in Jiang City, so this meant that it was impossible for a Fiendish Land to manifest here. The bizarre occurrences on the site aren't due to this.
"What is it?" Qin Weiping asked, desiring to know what's the matter.
Zhang Tieshan said, "The Fiendish energy at the three-junction crossroad has scattered."
"It was still there a moment ago!"
Qin Weiping asked, "What does this mean?"
Zhang Tieshan's face flushed with shame, "That Exalted personage was right. This old man is incompetent and erred."
"Aaah!"
Qin Weiping asked, "Does Master Zhang have any methods then?"
Zhang Tieshan shook his head.
"That young Shaman was so powerful, he can definitely do something, right?" Qin Weiping felt as if he had woken up from a dream. "Is that person still here? Where did he go?"
An expert was right in front of him and he had berated that person, causing them to leave. It wasn't such an easy matter to invite them again.
I'll be doomed if this project really ends.
"What are you doing standing there like idiots? Quickly bring that person back!"
"Ohh!"
The executives of Myriad Base came to their senses.
Jiang Xiu had left the site long ago so where would they even go to find him in the boundless masses? Everyone gazed towards Nangong Kou'er as she was the one who invited him.
Nangong Qin started to talk, "Kou'er, go invite that Master again."
Nangong Kou'er had invited the Master with kind intentions to help settle the situation and she hadn't even received a thank you. Instead, she was reprimanded. She felt sullen due to this.
Luckily, Jiang Xiu's methods were extraordinary and very amazing. Otherwise, he'd still have a bad moniker of a troublemaker. Humans indeed didn't know to differentiate goodwill.
Young Lady Nangong wasn't planning to just sit here like this.
"It's too late!"
"The person had already come to help you once and you responded with rudeness. Since you were the ones who offended him, think of something yourself."
"Alright, a child like me should go back to the Capital so that my parents can feel relieved."
Saying this, she walked out the site in large strides.
"Just take a look…" Qin Weiping pointed towards Nangong Kou'er in anger, "Just see how she turned up under her parents."
"Does she think I can only rely on her?"
Nangong Qin said, "Wait for a moment, I'll make a call to her mother. She is being too unreasonable."
She hadn't realized that Nangong Kou'er had her own pride. None could show contempt towards her or lesson her without a reason. And if there was someone who did that, she'd counter with a powerful attack. This is the most standard method for a person to gain prestige and it was the same even when facing parents or family members.
Hearing a car speeding up from behind, Jiang Xiu turned back to look. A red Ferrari sped up to come beside him. Nangong Kou'er peeked out of the side window. Her damp hair was sticking to her snowy forehead, giving her a girlish charm, "Hey, Master Luoxia. Are you going back to the school?"
Jiang Xiu asked, "You've come to ask a favor for them?"
Nangong Kou'er smiled sweetly, "You're overthinking this, quickly hop on. They've treated you in such a manner so I'd instead look down on you if you still wanted to help them."
Astonishment flashed through Jiang Xiu's eyes. This girl's character is similar to mine.
Nangong Kou'er felt like she was knowing him all anew. The spell from before had really broadened her horizons. "Your spells are quite fierce. Who did you learn it from?"
"From my Master."
Nangong Kou'er said, "You're a lot powerful than those people who work only for fame. Let me introduce myself formally. I'm called Nangong Kou'er, from the Imperial Capital. I came to Jiang City to… That's not important anymore. Your name is Jiang Luoxia?"
"Mhm!"
"It's a pretty strange name." Nangong Kou'er could never even suspect that the person beside her was Jiang Xiu, the fiancé who she hadn't met yet. "I'll drop you back home and then return to the Capital. I don't know when I'll come to Jiang City again. Enter your phone number…" She handed over her phone to Jiang Xiu naturally, "If you ever come to the Imperial Capital, call me!"
"I'll treat you to the Imperial Capital's most famous roasted duck!"
Nangong Kou'er delivered Jiang Xiu back home and then the two of them went their own ways. To her, their meeting was one brought together by fate and perhaps they might never meet again.
"Goodbye Jiang City. See you never again, Damn Fatso Jiang Xiu."
After today, Qin Weiping tried to find several famous Shamans from far and near but the outcome was the same. The bizarre occurrences never stopped and even became worse.
In the beginning, incidents only occurred when someone entered the site to do construction work. Soon after, it had spread to the nearby residential area. Many residents found themselves passing out in the middle of the streets mysteriously. This was too frightening.
On the third day, in addition to the incidents regarding the nearby residents, each and every car passing the street in front of the construction site during nighttime inevitably had accidents, causing countless casualties.
"What? Stop the Myriad Base Plaza project?"
Qin Weiping had received a call from the city hall, making him spring up from his work desk.
"Do you know how much funds Myriad Base has invested for this project? It's 1.3 billion, a full 1.3 billion. The loan from the bank is charging me 3 million each day and you're telling me to stop this project? You were the one who begged me to invest in Jiang City, providing all kinds of benefits and you want me to stop now?"
Qin Weiping's eyes became red, he had entered a murderous mood.
"Old Pal Weiping, I know you've invested a big amount into Myriad Base b-but the disturbance is too extreme now. All communication and business are completely paralyzed due to this. There are too many complaints from the city residents. Not only the city government, but some of them have even gone to the provincial government. Even we are helpless here."
Qin Weiping's heart sunk.
"We're also unwilling to let this project end but there's nothing we can do about it."
Qing Weiping said, "Give me a few more days, I'll surely settle the problem."
"Three days. Old Pal, I can only give you three days. If you're unable to settle it in time, the government shall send notice to stop the Myriad Base Plaza project and to construct that destroyed temple again."
After ending the call, Qin Weiping felt like had lost his entire soul. He'd become ruined if the project was stopped and would have to start from scratch again.
"Invite them, invite the Shamans, no matter how much money it takes!"
