Chapter 415: Chapter 415: The Formation of Nine Infants and Ten Thousand Evils is Activated!
At Huang Xiaolong’s insistence, Sun Hu and the others had no choice but to start digging.

However, they were quite doubtful about Huang Xiaolong’s seemingly crazy behavior in the middle of the night.

Sun Wei, however, put in a significant effort. She took a chisel and quickly removed a few large marble slabs.

“Well… everyone listen to Master Huang Xiaolong, let’s dig!” Sun Hu held a shovel in his hand and began to dig with gritted teeth.

Being the members of the Sun family, they had learned martial arts from a young age and were used to hard physical tasks like digging.

Luckily, it was the early hours of the morning, so no one was around to stop them from digging.

As they continued digging, something eerie happened!

Suddenly, from the dug-up area, a fresh red fluid started gushing out from the ground, staining the soil red!

This red liquid emitted a bloody smell. It was clearly… blood!

“Oh my God! Master… Master Huang Xiaolong… what…is this?” one of the second-generation members of the Sun family stammered, almost throwing away the hoe in his hand out of fear.

Even the normally brave Sun Hu now felt his scalp tingling.

“We’ve… we’ve dug up blood…” Sun Hu stammered. “How can blood come out from the ground beneath these hard marbles… this isn’t scientifically possible…”

Sun Wei, who had already witnessed many supernatural phenomena with Huang Xiaolong that night, showed no fear and said, “Didn’t Little Long just say that we were digging up an infant corpse, a six-month-old infant corpse…”

“Don’t be afraid, continue to dig. I am here to ensure your safety. Hurry, continue digging—we are about to dig it out…” Huang Xiaolong quickly suggested.

The members of the Sun family could not dare disobey Huang Xiaolong. Shaking, they continued to dig.

Finally!

They dug about three feet deep, and a bloody piece of burial cloth appeared in the soil!

By now, the white burial cloth was soaked in blood. Faintly, they could see strange symbols and characters written on it.

“Master… Master Huang Xiaolong… Please, please check this out… it’s too creepy! It’s breeding evil!” Sun Hu, tongue dry and voice trembling, had lost his earlier nonchalance. His palms were sweaty, goosebumps arose all over his skin, and he felt like he had never experienced anything as absurd and eerie in his life.

Just then!

Bang~~~!!!!

A wave of intense resentment surged from within the burial cloth!

There was some thing inside the burial cloth starting to move!

At the same moment~~~

“Wah~~ Wah~~ Wah~~…”

The sound of a baby’s cry rang out!

In the blink of an eye!

Splash~~~~~

The burial cloth tore apart with a loud rip, a bloody and horrifying infant, like a frog, jumped up and pounced directly towards Sun Hu’s neck!

Sun Hu was caught off guard and didn’t have time to react. The infant was just about to bite his neck open with its gaping mouth!

“Master Huang Xiaolong! Save me!” Sun Hu cried out.

Everyone else was in a complete mess.

Huang Xiaolong merely raised his right hand slightly. Instantly, a golden light burst out of his palm and a thunderbolt from his palm tore through the infant corpse, blasting it into pieces that evaporated into wisps of smoke.

Thud~~~

Sun Hu fell to the ground, completely drained of strength. He sat there gasping heavily, “What the hell…what the hell…What was that ghostly thing? Too terrifying…it was…so close to…killing me…”

The other members of the Sun family around him were all looking at Huang Xiaolong with eyes filled with terror.

After this, they didn’t doubt a single word of Huang Xiaolong’s statements that night!

Sun Wei, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. “Little Long, you just destroyed one of the infant corpses, so this evil formation should be broken, right?”

Huang Xiaolong stared at the bubbling blood on the ground, shaking his head slightly. “This will be a bit tricky…The infant’s blood has already seeped into the ground, there’s no way to cleanly remove it…Even if we manage to kill all nine infant corpses, breaking the formation would still be difficult…The one who set up this Nine Infants Evil Ritual, their knowledge of the Dao isn’t bad…”

He had encountered several Taoists in his time.

For instance, Master Zhou, the creator of the human-skin dolls at Zhou’s doll shop.

The richest man in the urban village, Hu Yiquan.

The corpse driver from the Night Fragrance club.

However, the Dao techniques of these people seemed weaker than those of the owner of this carnival hotel.

“Seems like, the start of the Nine Infants Evil Ritual is inevitable. Let’s go back and set things up in the hotel.” Huang Xiaolong started running towards the hotel.

Sun Wei and the others hurried to catch up.

…

Jiangnan City. The wealthy district.

A luxurious private villa.

It was already past 3 a.m., yet the villa was brightly lit.

In the living room on the first floor.

A few people were sitting around, sipping tea, drinking coffee.

Among them was a man Huang Xiaolong would recognize: the young master of the Chen Family in Jiangnan City, Chen Zihuan!

Next to Chen Zihuan sat a mature man, calm and composed. He bore some resemblance to Chen Zihuan, but his aura was much stronger.

This man was Chen Zihuan’s father, the current Family Head of the Chen Family in Jiangnan City…Chen Xiong!

Sitting across from Chen Xiong was a man with gray sideburns and a wicked expression on his face. A man in his fifties, his eyes filled with cold malice, seems to carry an overwhelmingly evil power within him.

“Master Qiao, should everything be set for tonight?” Chen Xiong respectfully asked.

It was clear that Chen Xiong, who commands the premier family in Jiangnan City, respected and… feared, this white-haired man, Master Qiao.

“No surprises.” Master Qiao’s voice was cold. “I didn’t expect a Taoist to be staying in the carnival hotel, managing to break my Ghost Blindfold spell. However, it does not matter. Fangfang has already buried the ninth infant corpse into the formation core. With the infant’s blood in the ground, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal could stop the Nine Infants Evil Ritual from starting! Hehehehe~~~”

Master Qiao began to laugh, his voice demonic. His eyes were filled with madness and cruelty. “Tonight, the Ghost King will be born! Hahaha! Who would have thought that in my lifetime, I, Qiao Sanguan, could raise a Ghost King. I’m sure my master would regard me differently…Hahaha~~~ With the emergence of the Ghost King, there will be bloodshed within a thousand miles. Not just Jiangnan City, but Binhai, Yangzhou, Jiangbei… all those places would bow down to us! Chen, you have no idea what a Ghost King represents? Hahaha~~~ The Taoist in the hotel who thought with some Daoist techniques was meddling with my plans? I will personally extract his soul!”

“Hahaha~~ Congratulations, congratulations Master Qiao!” Chen Xiong stood up, bending over with a respectful bow.

Chen Zihuan also stood up, bending his head in agreement. “Congratulations, Master Qiao.”

After a pause, Chen Xiong laughed. “Master Qiao, we’ve found a guy in Binhai who can make height increase pills… This could be a business opportunity worth a fortune. However, the guys we sent seem to have been killed by him… It seems this guy is not simple. What about, please Master Qiao make a move… and have the Ghost King kidnap him over here!”

“Using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken!” Master Qiao sneered. “Forget it, I will handle this for you.”

As he spoke, Master Qiao took a talisman from his bosom, flicked it open, and it began to self-ignite, “Nine Infants Evil Ritual! Let’s start! Ghost King, come forth!”

…

Carnival Hotel.

At this moment, the lobby on the first floor was crowded with people. Some couldn’t even find room in the lobby and were standing outside.

Everyone was extremely displeased, cursing loudly.

The people of the Sun Family had practically stopped at nothing to wake up a majority of the hotel guests and assemble them in the lobby on the first floor.

The scene was somewhat chaotic.

Huang Xiaolong and the others had returned to the lobby as well.

Just then!

Boom~~~~~~

A thunderclap sounded, and inexplicably, a light rain started falling outside the hotel. Huang Xiaolong looked up at the night sky to see waves of lingering deathly energy gathering towards the hotel. Ghosts from all around, as if called upon, were swarming towards the Carnival Hotel!
