Chapter 400: Chapter 400

"Don’t worry, with me here, it won’t get away," Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.

With a wave of his hand, he signaled the middle-aged woman to step back.

Once she had left, Zhang Xiaohao gestured with his palm, and the Shennong Pill Fire appeared in his hand.

With a single swing of his hand, the Shennong Pill Fire spun and landed on the eerie skeleton.

An eerie sound immediately emanated from the skeleton.

Under the burning of the Shennong Pill Fire, the small skeleton lasted less than three minutes before it was completely incinerated.

Zhang Xiaohao gestured with his palm and retrieved the Shennong Pill Fire.

"That settles it, now pay up!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Thank you," the middle-aged woman replied.

She turned and went inside, retrieving a black briefcase.

Opening the briefcase, it revealed stacks of bright red bills.

"This is one million, count it," the middle-aged woman said.

"..." Zhang Xiaohao was speechless.

"You keep this much cash at home, aren’t you afraid of thieves?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

He casually took the briefcase.

"The security in this complex is very good, ordinary thieves can’t get in," the middle-aged woman replied.

"Well, everything’s settled then, I’ll be off! If you need me again, remember to call," Zhang Xiaohao said.

Having said that, he carried the black briefcase and turned to leave.

The middle-aged woman had a dark expression and felt an urge to strangle Zhang Xiaohao.

She took a deep breath, looking at his disappearing figure, her eyebrows raised slightly, revealing a slight smile.

Once out of the complex, Zhang Xiaohao found a secluded spot and stored the one million cash into the Shennong Ring.

"Darn! How could I forget about that? I should have asked her to give me a ride back," Zhang Xiaohao regretted.

Now that he was already out, asking her for a ride back seemed a bit inappropriate.

He glanced at the sky.

By then, it was already dark.

In the pitch-black night under the stars, only a few scattered starlights were visible.

"Well! Seems like I need to find a place to eat first," Zhang Xiaohao said.

Conveniently, there was a barbecue stall nearby, and Zhang Xiaohao, not minding it, promptly sat down there.

"Boss, give me five hundred yuan worth of barbecue, all meat," Zhang Xiaohao ordered.

"Ah! Are you going to eat meat, Taoist?" the owner exclaimed.

"What’s the matter? Is there something wrong?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Aren’t Taoists supposed to be vegetarians?" the owner asked with an awkward smile.

"Alcohol and meat pass through the intestines, but the Taoist Ancestor’s teachings remain in the heart," Zhang Xiaohao laughed.

"Hehe," the owner chuckled and got busy.

Soon, the owner brought over some barbecue.

Zhang Xiaohao didn’t hold back, enjoying his beer and skewers thoroughly.

The hospital, which was nearly bursting at the seams, suddenly saw its wealthy patients angrily departing since the morning.

By now, even the hospital staff had angrily left.

Now, the vast Tiandu Hospital was left with only the Deputy Director Wang Zhongqiang alone.

This was after he heard that the boss was coming that he forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and stayed.

Large beads of sweat fell from his face, dropping loudly onto the ground.

Suddenly, an eerie and intense gust of cold wind rose in the hall, and the surrounding buildings started to shake on their own without any wind.

"Ah! Ghosts!" Witnessing this scene, Wang Zhongqiang was nearly scared out of his wits.

He hugged his head and squatted on the ground, like a dead dog, tightly shrinking his head.

Rustle Rustle Rustle...

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

"Ah! Ghosts! Don’t come here! Please don’t come here! I’m begging you, don’t eat me..." Wang Zhongqiang said in terror.

The sound continued, clearly ignoring him.

After a dozen seconds, the person stopped in front of Wang Zhongqiang.

"Trash! Useless thing, you are so cowardly!" Bao Butong snorted coldly.

He lifted his foot and kicked Wang Zhongqiang in the head.

The immense force sent him flying.

Wang Zhongqiang felt a sweetness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Ah! Boss, you finally came! Whoo..." Seeing the person, Wang Zhongqiang immediately burst into tears.

He got up from the ground, enduring his injuries, and rolled towards him.

"Speak! What exactly happened?" Bao Butong asked with a gloomy expression.

"Ah! Boss, it was ..."

Then, Bao Butong recounted all the events of the day.

After hearing Wang Zhongqiang’s account, Bao Butong’s expression was terribly grim.

"Trash! Useless thing, I entrusted the Tiandu Hospital to you, and you created such a big mess. What use do I have for keeping you alive?" Bao Butong said with a sneer.

"Ah! Boss, spare my life..."

Wang Zhongqiang hadn’t finished speaking.

Bao Butong’s eyes flashed coldly, his right foot brutally stomping on his head.

Blood splattered, crushing his skull.

"Hmph! Killing you is too easy." Bao Butong snorted.

"Holy Son, what should we do now?" the woman in the black robe asked.

Bao Butong coldly looked at the thick evil aura surrounding them, his face showing a hint of fierceness.

"If I am not mistaken, someone has set up an evil Feng Shui Array here!" Bao Butong said coldly.

"Daring to dig around on the Holy Son’s turf, they are asking for death!" the woman in the black robe said fiercely.

"Hmph! Since they dare to meddle on my turf, obviously targeting me, let’s just wait here for him to come," Bao Butong said with a cold laugh.

"As the Holy Son commands!" the woman in the black robe replied respectfully.

Looking back at the group of elite disciples from the Tianyin Sect, each possessing the cultivation of the Hundred Veins Realm, totaling more than twenty people.

"You all, go guard the perimeter, and if you spot anyone suspicious, capture them! If they dare to resist, kill them without mercy!" the woman in the black robe ordered.

"Yes!" the group of Tianyin Sect disciples replied respectfully.

Clutching their chilling weapons, they rapidly headed outside.

"Holy Son, do you know who they are?" the woman in the black robe asked.

"Hmph! I have too many enemies, if I knew who it was, I would have gone to kill them already," Bao Butong said coldly. Thıs text ıs hosted at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡✶𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚✶𝙣𝙚𝙩

"It’s all because of that damn woman, Gong Ningyue, if it wasn’t for her, we would have come here sooner and captured the person who set up the Array," the woman in the black robe said angrily.

"Gong Ningyue, huh? It’s not time to turn against her yet. When I remove these two impending obstacles over me, it will be time to deal with her!" Bao Butong said fiercely.

At the barbecue stand.

"Has she arrived? Finally, my wait wasn’t in vain!" Zhang Xiaohao thought coldly to himself.
