Running A Cemetery in North America

"Ho! Ho ho!"

The strange phenomenon emerged from the baby's mouth, and a barely suppressed enthusiastic chuckle emitted from the gray-haired old man's throat.

Then he began singing loudly: "Celestial Palace's thirty-three heavens, the Earth Palace's twenty-eight mansions, the thirty-three heavens' Buddhas and deities are now in the south continent of Tai Sui. After the founding of our Peninsula Republic and our great ancestor's ascension, the residence built on the river ridge with the direction from child to horse leads to Canyue Mountain and Renyang Mountain forming the Azure Dragon."

He sang while shaking a drum.

The human-headed snake in the baby's mouth seemed very impatient, frowning and emitting a hissing snake sound.

The gray-haired old man's disciple standing beside him saw his master's signal and immediately took out a live rooster, slicing its throat with a small knife.

He filled a porcelain bowl with chicken blood, causing the bodyguard responsible for protecting the baby nearby to show a look of disgust.

They were ordinary people and couldn't see the human-headed snake on the baby. They only felt a subconscious repulsion to the gray-haired old man's bizarre exorcism methods.

"What's he trying to do?" Elise curiously asked Sun Yan.

"The Sun Star Monarch, who governs the sun, is a rooster. Thus, rooster blood can be seen as the utmost Pure Yang substance to restrain evil spirits. He is likely planning to use rooster blood to drive the evil spirit out of the child," Sun Yan quietly explained.

"Can he succeed? If the evil spirit is driven out by him, wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

"There's nothing we can do. Everything has its order of precedence."

Cui Yuanxi, listening to the conversation between Sun Yan and Elise, pridefully and arrogantly said, "Mr. Jin Ronggen is the strongest Shaman in our Peninsula Republic. There's never been a ghost he couldn't exorcise. This time, Mr. Pu's child got possessed, and Mr. Jin has already been guarding here for days to perform the exorcism."

"But he hasn't succeeded in exorcism; they still needed to call us," Elise disagreed, shaking her head.

Cui Yuanxi was momentarily speechless, wanting to refute but realizing it was indeed the case, she could only shoot an unsatisfied glance at Elise and continued to watch over at Jin Ronggen.

Sun Yan intently watched Jin Ronggen perform the exorcism, seeing him dip his finger into the bowl of chicken blood, then rapidly smearing it across the baby's skin with his fingertip as a brush.

He was incredibly writing Chinese scripture. Sun Yan only glanced at it and recognized it as the "Celestial Child Scripture."

The Peninsula's Celestial Child Scripture originated from the Maoshan Dao's "Supreme Pure Celestial Child's Life-Protecting Scripture," but after being taken by the Peninsula Shaman and modified with Buddhist texts, it formed this half-Buddhist, half-Daoist scripture.

It is said that this scripture can invite celestial spirits to protect the body from evil spirit invasion.

In a short time, the baby's face and neck were covered with scriptural texts of the Celestial Child Scripture, painted with rooster blood.

The human-headed snake felt discomfort and directly bit onto Jin Ronggen's wrist.

However, since Jin Ronggen had invited natural spirits into his body for protection, the human-headed snake's bite inflicted no harm upon him.

Instead, Jin Ronggen finished smearing the Celestial Child Scripture on the baby and suddenly clutched the human-headed snake, forcibly yanking it out of the baby's mouth.

"Wah wah wah!"

The baby, who had been quiet and undisturbed, suddenly burst into loud cries, spewing out thick black blood continuously.

This scene instantly frightened the bodyguards and nannies guarding around.

This was Park Guochang's child, and if anything happened to young master, they surely wouldn't face a good outcome.

"Just a mere unknown evil spirit, let it return to dust and earth."

Jin Ronggen glared at the human-headed snake he held and downed the bowl of rooster blood in one go, spraying it all over the human-headed snake's face.

In an instant, the human-headed snake wailed miserably, its entire body seemingly melting as it began to dissipate in Jin Ronggen's hand.

Once the human-headed snake vanished without a trace, the previously crying baby quieted down, though covered in filth, its expression returned to normal.

"Master."

Jin Ronggen's disciple promptly handed him a bottle of white liquor. Jin Ronggen took it, drinking deeply. The natural spirits that had entered his body exited swiftly, transforming back into black smoke and disappearing into the drum skin.

At the same time, all the unnatural occurrences on Jin Ronggen ceased.

Indeed, among all the exorcists Sun Yan had encountered, Jin Ronggen was undoubtedly the most powerful.

"Mr. Jin, has the exorcism succeeded?"

Cui Yuanxi hastily approached to ask. As Park Guochang's secretary, any developments in the situation had to be reported to her boss promptly.

"Rest assured, the evil spirit in the child's body has been expelled by me, Sumida. Secretary Cui, please report this good news to Mr. Pu."

Jin Ronggen, with a weak expression, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled.

This process of inviting spirits into one's body is extremely exhausting for ordinary people, even when the spirit is just a natural spirit with power beyond normal humanity.

"Alright, I'll report it right away. Thank you for your effort."

Cui Yuanxi quickly moved to the window, taking out her phone to call Park Guochang.

Jin Ronggen's gaze turned to Sun Yan, standing by the door. Seeing his appearance, Jin Ronggen immediately knew this must be the Mainland exorcist Park Guochang had mentioned earlier.

Immediately, Jin Ronggen's eyes showed a hint of disdain and contempt. Peninsula exorcists have always looked down on Mainland exorcists.

He arrogantly nodded his head in acknowledgement.

Sun Yan offered a polite smile in return. No matter what, this old man still had some skills.

Just as Jin Ronggen was preparing to take off his shaman robe, an incident occurred.

"Ugh!"

He suddenly fell to his knees, uncontrollably bending his body to vomit a large amount of black water.

Then his body coiled painfully on the floor, twisting like a snake.

"Ah!!!"

Jin Ronggen frantically tore at the corners of his mouth, his expression filled with extreme pain as he screamed.

"Master, what's happening to you?"

His disciple immediately rushed forward, holding down Jin Ronggen's body, trying to calm him, but it was to no avail.

Jin Ronggen violently tore his mouth's skin, blood splattering, the wound splitting all the way to his ear.

This sight instantly terrified the nannies in the room, for what was happening to Jin Ronggen was exactly the same as what happened to the young master.

Standing by the window, making a call, Cui Yuanxi was stunned by the sight.

In the entire scene, only Sun Yan remained serious, his gaze fixed on Jin Ronggen's abdomen, pondering something.

In his eyes, under Jin Ronggen's abdominal skin was a human face pressing against the belly, pushing out.

Clearly, unknowingly, he himself had fallen under a spell.

Sun Yan glanced at the baby in the crib, seeing the yin energy emerging again. It seemed Jin Ronggen's so-called success in exorcism was nothing more than a temporary fix.

"Master, don't scare me!"

Jin Ronggen's disciple knelt beside him, worriedly asking.

Cui Yuanxi was still on the phone reporting to Park Guochang; seeing this, Sun Yan knew the chance to earn 500,000 US Dollars had presented itself again.

He immediately strode forward, taking out the Golden Halberd from his bag and pressed it against Jin Ronggen's chest.

A woman's long, mournful wail instantly echoed from within Jin Ronggen, resounding through the entire villa.

With the suppression of the Golden Halberd, the possession issue within Jin Ronggen was effectively controlled, and he gradually calmed down, lying on the floor gasping in pain.

Sun Yan turned and walked towards the crib, taking the Mountain-Opening Fierce General Nuo Mask and placing it over the baby.

"Secretary Cui, please inform Mr. Pu to immediately transfer 500,000 US Dollars to my account, otherwise, he might not be able to keep his child."

After temporarily suppressing the possessions in Jin Ronggen and the baby, Sun Yan smiled at Cui Yuanxi and said.

"My rule is to receive payment first before doing the job; I hope Mr. Pu understands."

Cui Yuanxi looked at Sun Yan in astonishment, after a long while, she confirmed a few words with the person on the phone, and received a response from Park Guochang.

Only then did she quickly nod and say, "Yes, I'll transfer the money right away."
