At this moment, Wang Yiming was indeed furious. He had used the visibility charm successfully to discover the hiding place of the female ghost. It was a perfect opportunity to slay the ghost then and there. Yet, Yang Haoran and Ma Ling hadn't made a move against the female ghost!

By the time he retrieved the ghost slaying talisman, it was already too late. The female ghost, sensing danger, had merged into the wall, concealing herself once again.

"Heh, it's not a big deal. Don't be angry. I can feel that the power of your visibility charm hasn't faded yet. We can find her," Ma Ling said nonchalantly, wearing an intoxicated grin.

Wang Yiming snorted discontentedly, and as if performing magic, he produced another talisman between his fingers.

The ghost slaying talisman he had taken out earlier, unable to be used, had been stored in his talisman bag. The one he now took out was a ghost chasing talisman!

"Every talisman drawn by the talisman master is extremely precious. I hope you won't make me waste another one!" Wang Yiming said, shaking his wrist. The talisman between his fingers ignited and transformed into a ball of fire, shooting off in a direction.

Once the ghost chasing talisman was used, it could sense the presence of ghosts within a certain range and then track them. By following this talisman, they could find the ghost.

Without further ado, Wang Yiming chased after the fire, followed closely by Yang Haoran and Ma Ling.

None of them paid attention to the wall. Under the effect of the visibility charm, if the female ghost were hiding in the wall, she wouldn't escape their notice. The reason they found no trace of her on the wall was that she had already fled to another location through it.

Even without Wang Yiming's visibility charm, Yang Haoran was well aware of whether there were hidden ghosts within the walls. Although he hadn't activated his ghost eye at the moment, his ability to perceive Yin was still very accurate.

As for why he hadn't activated his ghost eye, it was because doing so would consume Yin spirit power. Given the complexity of the situation in the villa today, he wanted to conserve his Yin spirit power as much as possible for unforeseen circumstances.

The three chased after the fire formed by the ghost chasing talisman, leaving the shaken Wu Family members and Guanhai behind.

It was only then that they remembered their recent panic. However, they refrained from mocking each other. As ordinary people, it was normal for them to be frightened and lose composure in such situations.

"Grandpa, my mom fainted. Should we take her to the hospital first?" Wu Xiaoxiao asked weakly.

She didn't want to stay a moment longer in this place. Since her mom had fainted, taking her to the hospital would be an opportunity to leave this haunted place. However, she didn't dare to make the decision herself and thus turned to Master Wu for guidance.

"No need. She just fainted from the shock. Put her aside to rest for a while; she'll wake up soon," Master Wu replied bluntly, crushing Wu Xiaoxiao's hopes, leaving her with a face as bitter as a bitter gourd.

In fact, not only Wu Xiaoxiao but also the others present wanted to leave. It's just that Master Wu didn't speak up, and even though they were afraid, they dared not defy the old man's will.

Seemingly sensing the thoughts of the others, Master Wu frowned, his expression serious, though his face was a bit pale.

"I know you want to leave. Do you think I don't want to? I'm an old man; how can I withstand such excitement? But why don't I leave, and why don't I let you leave?"

With a pause, his gaze turned sharp as it swept over them before he continued speaking.

"We can be frightened by unknown forces, but we can't be defeated by them, nor can we lack the courage to resist. The ghosts and monsters in this villa have planted a seed of fear in our hearts. If we don't uproot this seed of fear, how can we continue to live here in the future?"

"Even if we move to another villa, we'll never forget what happened here. In the dead of night, the seed of fear will germinate and grow in our hearts, making us feel terrified. It will become the shadow in our hearts, like our shadow, impossible to erase until we die. Do you want to live under such a shadow?"

"Therefore, we must uproot this seed of fear before it takes root and grows. And the best way to uproot it is to witness its destruction with our own eyes!"

At the end, a cold light even burst from Master Wu's eyes.

In such a situation, Master Wu didn't forget to teach his family a lesson.

No one rebutted him. In the Wu Family, what Master Wu said was the truth. Although sometimes they didn't think everything he said was correct, they still dared not refute him.

"And what about the second son?"

Master Wu spoke again, only then realizing that Second son Wu was not among them.

"He left after dinner, saying he was going to see his girlfriend," Eldest son Wu hastily replied.

Master Wu's face darkened, filled with anger, as he cursed, "That scoundrel! He's utterly useless!"

However, just as Master Wu was scolding Second son Wu for being useless, Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly covered her mouth and then tremblingly pointed behind Master Wu.

Not only Wu Xiaoxiao, but Eldest son Wu, Guanhai, and others also showed signs of fear and shock!

This scene caught Master Wu's attention. He felt a slight tremor in his body, his heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably. He knew there must be something sinister behind him!

However, this time, Master Wu didn't flee like before. He looked at the others, suppressing his inner fear, and spoke in a cold voice, "Perfect timing! Today, I will teach you another lesson!"

With these words, Master Wu gritted his teeth and turned sharply, facing whatever was behind him!

...

Elsewhere, Yang Haoran followed closely behind Wang Yiming and stopped in front of a room door!

The fire formed by the ghost chasing talisman floated outside the door, seemingly indicating to Yang Haoran and the others that the ghost they were looking for was behind this door.

Wang Yiming hesitated for no moment. He kicked open the door with one swift motion!

Bang!

The force behind the kick was strong, and the door hit the wall with a dull sound. Wang Yiming rushed into the room first, searching everywhere.

"It's up there."

Yang Haoran's reminder made Wang Yiming look up. On the ceiling, a woman was crawling like a lizard, her limbs sticking to the ceiling. Her long hair danced wildly as she wore a sinister smile, baring her teeth like a beast about to attack the trio below.

The woman had no substance, appearing ethereal. She was the female ghost who had escaped earlier!

"Oh, she's challenging us!" Ma Ling pretended to be surprised, finding the ferocious and eerie appearance of the female ghost amusing.

"This time, there's nowhere for you to run!" Wang Yiming waved his hand, about to take out a talisman. Unexpectedly, the female ghost was cunning; she melted into the wall again and disappeared!

Seeing the empty ceiling, Wang Yiming trembled with anger. He felt like he had been played.

"Chasing her endlessly won't work; we'll tire ourselves out while she won't. Do you have any talisman to trap her?" Ma Ling asked.

With a grim expression, Wang Yiming looked at Ma Ling and replied, "Yes, but do you see me getting a chance to use it? What about you two? Did you come here today to practice running?"

Already feeling infuriated, Wang Yiming's anger grew even more as the female ghost escaped again. He spoke more sharply.

"I'm not afraid of stealing your thunder. If you can't handle it, just say so. I don't need anyone's interference; I can handle it alone. Do you believe me?" Ma Ling asked with a smile.

This remark poured oil on Wang Yiming's already raging fire. He was about to erupt in anger when the three of them heard a series of terrified screams!

"Ah!!!"

"Help me!!!"

"Brother Yang, save me!!!"

The cries were both male and female, filled with terror. Yang Haoran's face changed immediately because he heard Guanhai's cry for help.

"This is bad!"

Realizing the situation wasn't good, Yang Haoran didn't even bother to say anything; he dashed out of the room.

Feeling somewhat guilty, as he knew the villa was eerie and dangerous, and yet he had followed Ma Ling and the others here while his mind was preoccupied, leaving Guanhai alone.

Ma Ling and Wang Yiming also heard the screams. They glanced at each other and then rushed out of the room as well.

They were all invited by Master Wu. If anyone in the Wu Family had an accident, even if they got rid of the female ghost, it wouldn't be perfect. For a perfect resolution, everyone in the Wu Family had to be safe. No one could afford to have any problems.

Yang Haoran ran fast, Ma Ling and Wang Yiming weren't slow either. When the three of them appeared in the living room, the scene before them was somewhat surprising.

A male ghost was floating in mid-air, wearing a sinister smile on his face, emitting strange laughter.

Yes, it wasn't the female ghost but a male ghost. There was not just one female ghost in this house!

Master Wu's body trembled. He stared fixedly at the male ghost, cursing angrily.

As for the others, they all wore expressions of horror. Eldest son Wu was writhing in agony on the ground, as if experiencing some unexpected pain.

Wu Xiaoxiao cowered in the corner, her face full of terror. Her plump body seemed to fill the corner completely, but she seemed unaware of it, her feet still kicking vigorously as she screamed and tried to retreat to a safer place.

Guanhai's situation was also dire. He crouched on the ground, clutching his head in agony, repeatedly pleading for mercy, saying things like "Don't come near me; it's my fault."

The most terrifying of all was the butler. It wasn't clear what he was going through, but his emotions were extremely out of control. He was hysterically shouting at the air, as if he had gone mad. Then, he actually pulled something out of his pocket—a handgun!

And this handgun was aimed directly at Master Wu, who was cursing angrily at the male ghost!
