After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 766

Silence fell over the surrounding area.

The group exchanged glances, then realized that there might be some unknown aspects to what they knew.

Just then, I heard a sound coming from not far away.

It was Mayor Nie and Nie Chen.

The two were covered in talismans, and had other items tied to their waists.

Upon closer inspection, they all appear to be things that can deal with vengeful spirits.

However, some of them don't work very well.

Shi Wenfu and Jin Yize exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "Mayor Nie, is there anything else about Hu Qiuxiang's matter that you haven't told us?"

Upon hearing his question, a flicker of panic crossed Mayor Nie's eyes.

Almost instinctively, he replied, "I've told you everything we know. What else could it be? Don't listen to what others say!"

Nie Chen blinked; being young, his emotions were easily seen through.

Upon meeting Yuan Xiaofei's probing gaze, he immediately panicked.

"Why are you looking at me like that! I... I don't know anything about it. I didn't do those things, so what does it have to do with me!"

"You'd better take us inside right now and kill that female ghost, or I'll have my grandfather kill you all!"

Seeing that Nie Chen was so young, yet already possessed such a strong sense of hostility.

Several people couldn't help but frown, their faces showing displeasure.

This point naturally caught Mayor Nie's attention.

He quickly reached out and pulled Nie Chen behind him, his tone carrying a hint of warning.

"You promised to take care of that female demon. If you dare to go back on your word, even if my grandson and I die inside, you won't be able to leave easily!"

Seeing how confidently Mayor Nie spoke, the group began to suspect something.

I'm afraid there's something else in this village.

However, it's unclear what exactly it is.

The atmosphere was tense. Yuan Xiaofei raised the corners of his lips and stepped forward. "Mayor Nie, since we have promised you, we will naturally not do anything messy. You don't need to threaten us like this."

"Humph!"

Mayor Nie glared coldly at the group, "Who knows what you're up to? I wouldn't dare entrust myself to you so easily."

"If you're not comfortable with this, then we can leave. Why do you insist on making us go in and kill that female ghost?"

Bai Pu rolled his eyes and gave Mayor Nie a cold shoulder.

"Alright, there's not much time left. We'll be going in together soon."

Shi Wenfu said something, then his dark eyes fell on Mayor Nie, "Mayor Nie, once we go in, we'll be in the same boat. We won't do anything to you or your grandson, so don't stab us in the back."

Mayor Nie naturally understood what this slash meant.

Thinking about the methods of the people in front of him, he chuckled twice, "What are you talking about? As long as we don't provoke each other, nothing will happen, right?"

The group remained silent and instead approached the dry well.

After receiving a look from Shi Wenfu, Jin Yize pretended to tentatively reach his hand inside.

Then, with a serious expression and a furrowed brow, he said, "Something is blocking the way. I'm afraid we can't go in today."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Nie and Nie Chen both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then let's go tomorrow, Grandpa... Let's go back quickly, it's too scary to stay here!"

Nie Chen nervously tugged at Mayor Nie's sleeve, looking around in fear.

I'm afraid of being targeted by something.

Just as Mayor Nie was about to say something, a plume of black smoke suddenly shot out from the dry well!

"Ah! Grandpa, save me!"
