The Wicked System: Path of the Devourer Chapter 16 The Daoist Master's Awe

The Chairman of Tianlong Hotel, Lin Guoxiong, who summoned the wind and called for the rain in Binhai City, maintained a very humble posture. He didn't dare let anyone else take his place, personally leading the way. This scene practically stunned all the hotel staff.

After all, Zhang Wenbin was wearing cheap street clothes and didn't look like a disciple of some noble family. No one could figure out why Lin Guoxiong was so respectful to him.

The most luxurious VIP room in the casino had been cleared out. Zhang Wenbin sat down carelessly and casually tossed the golden seal onto the table. The moment he picked up a cigarette, Lin Guoxiong hurried over to help him light it, asking eagerly, "Immortal, what would you like to drink?"

"No need to drink!" Zhang Wenbin said with a smile, "You sure know how to appreciate favors. No wonder your business has grown so big."

"The Immortal praises me too much; it's all thanks to the protection of my ancestors!"

Lin Guoxiong asked cautiously, "Please enlighten me, Immortal. I wonder how I, someone named Lin, have offended you."

"Rather than saying you offended me, it's more accurate to say he offended me."

Zhang Wenbin pointed to the security guard Wang An behind him and shook his head saying, "I originally just came over out of curiosity to take a look. But in the end, this dog who looks down on people scolded me and tried to chase me away. My temper is a bit bad, so I just came in."

"Wang An, you have a lot of nerve." Upon hearing this, Lin Guoxiong was instantly filled with anger, his veins bulging. He gritted his teeth, wished he could throw this guy completely downstairs.

Such huge trouble was actually provoked by this guy whose name he didn't even know before. Lin Guoxiong had the heart to tear him to pieces.

But he immediately felt something was wrong. Since this guy had offended this Immortal, why was he together with the Immortal and looked like he had become his lackey??

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

At this time, the door opened. Uncle Chen came in and first bowed with his hands clasped together in greeting.

Uncle Chen was considered a prominent figure in Binhai City. He was about 60 years old with white hair and a youthful face. Dressed in coarse linen clothes, he could be said to have an immortal demeanor and Daoist spirit. Standing there with his thin figure, he truly had the air of an otherworldly expert.

"Uncle Chen, you're here!" Seeing his savior, Lin Guoxiong was instantly overjoyed.

Although he hadn't witnessed Zhang Wenbin's methods either, he was absolutely obedient and completely respectful to Uncle Chen. With his previous instructions, he didn't dare to offend, but he really didn't know how to deal with these otherworldly experts.

Director Yang's face was flushed red and a bit excited. Feeling like a fan meeting his idol, he hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself, "Hello, Uncle Chen. I am Yang Qiang, untalented as I am, I have long admired your great name. I hope to have the opportunity to receive Uncle Chen's guidance."

Uncle Chen merely nodded at them. Turning around, he narrowed his eyes at Wang An and said, "Fellow Daoist, since this person is innocent, shouldn't he be let go first?"

"Innocent? No, having a foul mouth is also a major defect." Zhang Wenbin said casually, "I don't have any objections. If you have the ability, just chase him away yourself. I absolutely won't interfere."

"Then I will show my incompetence, excuse my offense."

This conversation was baffling. Under the dumbfounded gaze of Director Yang and Lin Guoxiong, Uncle Chen bowed very respectfully to Zhang Wenbin. Only then did he turn to stare at Wang An and say, "Your cultivation is not profound enough. If not for the power of this fellow Daoist, you wouldn't have been able to possess this body. However, it's not time for you to find a scapegoat yet. This is not a good thing for you."

"Old man... you talk a lot of nonsense."

Wang An narrowed his eyes, chuckled and said, "This person offended the Immortal, so he deserves to die. Being an obedient scapegoat can be considered a good ending for him. I advise you not to mind other people's business."

"Cease your insolence, show your true form to me!!"

Uncle Chen shouted angrily, formed a seal with his fingers, and pointed forward. The space suddenly twisted.

The security guard Wang An stood numbly, and surrounded by a burst of black smoke, one could faintly see a bloody, mutilated man clinging to his back.

This eerie scene scared Lin Guoxiong and Director Yang so much their legs went weak, and they subconsciously held onto their chairs and sat down. Lin Guoxiong finally knew what was wrong now.

"So what if I've shown my true form? I don't want to wait so long to reincarnate. If you want to mind other people's business, you'd better have the ability to do so." The security guard spoke numbly.

"Senior, are you sure you won't interfere?" Uncle Chen gritted his teeth and asked uneasily.

Zhang Wenbin very politely made an inviting gesture and said with a chuckle, "It's fine if you can cross him over, and it's also fine if you can shatter his soul. It depends on your ability."

"Then this junior will show his incompetence." Uncle Chen gave a low shout, holding five yellow talismans between his fingers. Golden light blazed from the yellow talismans, and an aura of pure, masculine righteousness instantly filled the entire room.

Lin Guoxiong and Director Yang looked at each other in shock. When that ghost appeared, the room was gloomy and cold, but now their bodies suddenly felt warm. If it was an illusion, the feeling was too real.

"Five Yang Spirit Suppressing Talisman, not bad." Zhang Wenbin whistled and smiled frivolously, "Go for it, little old man."

This was naked contempt. No matter how much self-restraint Uncle Chen had, his expression changed. Throwing the talisman paper, he said angrily, "Good, today I will send you, this guy who died an untimely death, to have your soul completely shattered."

The five talisman papers immediately burst with golden light and blasted straight towards the black shadow like bullets.

With a loud bang out of thin air in the room, a cloud of smoke actually rose like a missile explosion. Such methods truly stunned Director Yang and Lin Guoxiong.

However, when the smoke cleared, the black shadow on the security guard was still there, and it even let out a triumphant and arrogant laugh: "Haha, this talisman of yours is all thunder and no rain! If it were before, I couldn't even withstand one, but now it feels like a tickle."

Uncle Chen's face turned pale. He stepped back in disbelief and almost fell to the ground.

"You chose the right method, but unfortunately your cultivation isn't quite there."

Zhang Wenbin still smiled harmlessly, "Little old man, if you want to poke your nose into other people's business, you need to have the skills. I was the one who let this little ghost possess him. Did you think a mere five talismans could solve him?"

If it were a well-prepared Daoist ritual, Uncle Chen was confident he could make him unable to reincarnate for eternity. Yet right now, he was using his bottom-of-the-barrel skills and actually couldn't harm a wild ghost dead for only a few years in the slightest. This proved that the spellcaster's ability was far above his own, even reaching the level of being omnipotent.

"You can get lost now!" Zhang Wenbin said lightly.

The temperature in the room slowly returned to normal, and the black shadow on the security guard disappeared. He bowed respectfully to Zhang Wenbin and left. As for where he died, that was none of Zhang Wenbin's business.

Uncle Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Senior's methods leave this junior in awe. This junior is indeed shallow in learning and overestimated himself. Since this is a destined calamity in his life, it can only be so."

The legendary figure of Binhai City, Uncle Chen, was currently standing in front of Zhang Wenbin with the attitude of a terrified student.

Meanwhile, Zhang Wenbin was still sitting carelessly, looking completely at ease. This scene thoroughly refreshed the worldviews of Lin Guoxiong and Director Yang.

Seeing Zhang Wenbin's indifferent attitude, Uncle Chen didn't dare lose his temper and asked respectfully, "Senior, I wonder how the Lin family has offended you. If there is any offense, please be magnanimous, Senior."

"Oh, you want to meddle in this business?" Zhang Wenbin toyed with the golden seal and said with a chuckle, "You have courage, I admire you."

"This junior wouldn't dare to show off his slight skill before an expert, but this Lin family has deep ties with my master, so this junior made bold to ask Senior for mercy." Uncle Chen cupped his hands and bowed at the waist. The white-haired old man was extremely humble at this moment.

Lin Guoxiong also leaned in and said, "Yes, Senior, please be magnanimous. Our Lin family wouldn't dare to be an enemy of Senior."

Zhang Wenbin thought for a moment with a thoughtful look and asked, "Do you want to take the golden seal back?"

"This..." Lin Guoxiong was also at a loss now. He didn't dare say he wanted it, nor did he dare say he didn't, and could only look at Uncle Chen for help.

Uncle Chen braced himself and said, "Senior, if this layout can be restored, this junior and the entire Lin family would be endlessly grateful."

Zhang Wenbin said between laughter and tears, "You little old man sure dare to ask. I have to return the item and also help you repair the Fengshui layout. Am I too easy to talk to that you're pushing your luck like this?"

"This junior wouldn't dare."

Startled, Uncle Chen quickly cupped his hands and said, "It is because this junior's learning is shallow. The Fengshui layout my master set up is so profound. Even if you give me the golden seal, I have no way to restore this layout, so I boldly wanted to ask Senior for guidance."

"That sounds nice, so I just worked for nothing." Zhang Wenbin muttered somewhat depressedly.

Lin Guoxiong was a cunning man. Hearing this, he quickly said, "As long as Senior is willing to let the Lin family off and help us restore the Fengshui layout, our Lin family is willing to offer a heavy sum of money as a reward."

"That's more like it. What's the point of talking about feelings in a refined way? It's better to talk about money practically."

Continuing to put on the airs of an otherworldly expert, Zhang Wenbin said, "Consider it your good fortune. My mood today is alright, so I won't be aggressive. But I'm a bit tired today and too lazy to move. I'll help you fix this broken layout tomorrow night."

"This, tomorrow night, will there be any variables?" Uncle Chen hesitated slightly.

Zhang Wenbin stretched lazily and said, "What the fuck are you afraid of? With me here, are you afraid that the things suppressed here can stir up any trouble? Speaking of which, your master wasn't that great back then. It would have saved so much trouble if he had just casually completely cleaned up these dirty things."

"Senior's lesson is correct." Even though his master was criticized, Uncle Chen forcefully endured it and didn't dare to flare up, because his intuition told him that the person in front of him was even more powerful than his master back then.

"Senior, I will arrange a place for you to stay." Lin Guoxiong was exceptionally attentive, immediately leading Zhang Wenbin upstairs and having someone arrange a presidential suite.

"Prepare a set of clean clothes for me." Zhang Wenbin stretched lazily, yawning as he said, "Don't anyone come to disturb me. My temper when waking up is very bad. If you wake me up, I'll turn this place into a corpse-accumulating ground."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I will give the orders." Lin Guoxiong broke into cold sweat upon hearing this.
