"Do you see it now? The chains on your spirit represent the restriction the pawnshop has on you!"

Fang Yuan did not hide the truth. "Since the day you signed the agreement with the pawnshop, your soul was no longer yours. It is now the property of the pawnshop! Of course, it is now my reward!"

"Sir! Let me go, Sir!"

Lu Bingqi in his spirit form cried out loud. If not for the fact that he did not have a body now, he would have probably peed in his pants out of fear.

"You should feel fortunate that I am a compassionate person. Therefore, I shall give you another chance!"

Fang Yuan waved his hands and the spirit returned to its body. In an instant, the black chains around the spirit disappeared.

Everyone knew that the chain was not gone, but merely in another dimension.

"Thank you, Sir! Thank you!"

Lu Bingqi started to kowtow desperately. Fang Yuan's actions had struck fear in him.

By toying around with his spirit, Fang Yuan was no different from the pawnshop.

And this was the truth.

Fang Yuan raised his right hands up. In an instant, he could detect thousands of traders spread out across the world, connected to him by the chain of the agreement.

'Their souls are now mine. I can harvest them anytime... Of course, this is not the most important. More importantly, they are a decent fighting force that I can make use of!'

After being strengthened by the pawnshop, these traders had the ability to exorcist ghosts as well. A minority of them even became elite exorcists!

With them as a considerable fighting force, Fang Yuan could go ahead with many of his own plans and save his own effort.

For instance, he could easily search for Strange Level ghosts and curses.

"Amituofo..."

Witnessing this scene, Jiese the Monk silently chanted his mantra and remained silent as his eyelid twitched.

After all, Fang Yuan was still an exorcist and therefore, they were still on the same side.

More importantly, he knew that even if he were to stand out, he could do nothing to stop Fang Yuan.

"Jiese the Monk!"

After dealing with Lu Bingqi, Fang Yuan turned around and looked at the monk.

"Do you have any instructions?"

Jiese the Monk remained composed. He was an exorcist and a smart one as well.

"I am interested in ghosts and curses. The stronger the better..."

Fang Yuan smiled. "Therefore... Can you contact the Exorcists Alliance on behalf of me and gather some information? I will deal with the troublesome ghosts for you. Of course, I will take some commision as well!"

"No problem!"

Jiese the Monk was all smiles. In his eyes, Fang Yuan was much more powerful than any living exorcist. He was the hope of humanity!

As long as he was willing to help fight against the ghosts which were troubling the Exorcists Alliance, Jiese the Monk would do anything for him.

"Know that I'm not interested in dealing with the petty ghosts..."

Fang Yuan pointed a finger out. "I only want to deal with the powerful ghosts and curses. Hmmm... Ghosts and curses as powerful as the pawnshop!"

"Ssss..."

Even though Jiese the Monk knew of Fang Yuan's weird hobby, he still shuddered in fear. "Yes... I understand."

"Very well, be dismissed, the both of you!"

Fang Yuan waved his hands and chased the both of them away before looking at the nervous Ma Xiaoling. "After finding out that I am such a person, do you fear me now?"

"Not at all..."

Ma Xiaoling shook her head. Ever since she had learnt exorcism from Fang Yuan, she already knew what kind of person Fang Yuan was. "The thing is... are you leaving?"

"You've guessed it?"

Fang Yuan smiled. "That's right... It's time I leave!"

It was fate that Fang Yuan could meet the father and daughter. He had saved them and dealt with the ghost on their behalf and in return, they had taken care of him for the past few years. It was fair.

However, humans had emotions and after living together for such a long period of time, they had developed a bond with one another.

After this, Fang Yuan would actively search for powerful ghosts and curses and his life would be filled with danger. Although he was not afraid, the people around surely would be.

"No... I want to be together with you!"

Ma Xiaoling bit on her lips.

"Girl, be good!"

Seeing as she was about to cry, Fang Yuan felt a little amused. He walked up to her and stroked her hair. "After this, I will explore the entire world and I don't even know where I'm about to go next!"

After a pause, he continued. "I shall hand the garden over to you. You have already learnt about the theory of mixing the concoctions. As long as you treat it seriously and learn it properly, you two will be safe!"

Fang Yuan had long extracted the essence of those mutated plants and turned them into concoctions. It was suitable to leave behind the most basic plants for Ma Xiaoling.

"When... when are you going to leave?"

After hearing how Fang Yuan had already prepared his final words, Ma Xiaoling knew that he had already made up his mind. With that, she felt disappointed.

"I'll wait for news. It might be soon."

Fang Yuan replied casually. Inside, he was worried about how much information regarding Strange Level ghosts and curses could the Exorcists Alliance possibly provide him.

...

In a village in the mountains.

"Whoooo..."

The silhouette of a lady whisked past quickly. "I've discovered that... the ghost is in the well! Anyone who drinks from this well will be cursed!"

She seemed to be in her twenties and was wearing tight clothing. Most of her legs were exposed and she did not seem like a demure village lady at all. Instead, she resembled more of a leader in the city.

"Bloop! Bloop!"

At this point in time, from the ancient-looking well behind her, water started to overflow from the mouth of the well. A white-shirt ghost with long black hair emerged and approached her at a neck breaking speed.

"What a joke... I, Chen Xin, am still a qualified exorcist of The Exorcists Alliance. How will I possibly die here?"

Chen Xin exclaimed and thew a test tube backwards.

"Piang!"

The glass shattered and a thick fog emerged.

The white figure behind froze as though it was afraid.

"Haha... This Exorcist Concoction cost me 20 contribution points! If you are able to follow me, I shall change my name to yours!"

Unfortunately, before she could laugh, the black hair broke through the fog as though darkness was spreading towards her.

"D*mn it... This isn't an average ghost?"

Chen Xin turned around and started to run. "I've been cheated! Cheated by the village head! If I knew about this, I would never have come here!"

"Whoosh!"

At this point in time, the black hair curled towards her like a carpet unrolling itself.

Chen Xin did not avoid it and her ankle was being caught by the hair.

"D*mn it!"

The black hair was soft and sharp. It had already torn through her clothing and started to burn her skin.

Quickly, she took out a dagger and as the runes on the dagger glowed, she swiped it towards her ankle.

"Pa!"

The hair did not break. Chen Xin started to hobble towards the entrance of the village. "Would I really die here? No..."

Looking at the hair which started to stretch above her, she displayed a look of despair.

"Whoosh!"

In that instant, the hair which flew towards her like a tsunami suddenly retreated as though it had just witnessed something scary.

"Eh?"

Looking at a few illusionary silhouettes ahead, she was filled with joy. "President?!"

"Sneaking out to play again?"

A silhouette emerged. It was a young man in his thirties. He walked over and supported Chen Xin. "If not for the fact that Boss is here, you would've died!"

"Mr President, I'm sorry... However, I've investigated that the ghost in the well is not a normal one!"

Chen Xin ignored her brother and looked towards the leader of the group.

He was tall and had smooth skin. However, he wore a ferocious-looking mask on his face, covering half of it.

"I see it!"

The President had a hoarse voice and it was as though his voicebox was injured before. However, his words sounded firm.

Before him, in the middle of the hair, a white lady emerged.

"Return!"

Against this Murderous Level ghost, he sliced his palm and scattered his blood out.

"He's using his strongest move?"

Chen Xin was shocked.

The person who had saved her was the President of the Exorcists Association of Asia - Zhan Tianhu! Although the Exorcists Alliance was merely an organisation to gather and spread information, they would also require a skilled person to become the President of a region!

He must have had dealt with a lot of ghosts before and was strong enough to survive until today!

Chen Xin knew a not-so-confidential secret. The blood of President Zhan had a strong exorcism property which would allow him to even resist against powerful curses, giving many the time to escape to survive!

Now, the ghost was powerful to the extent where he had to use it!

"Hmmm... It seems that the lady ghost from the well is recorded as dangerous by the association..."

Chen Xin thought to herself. Unsurprisingly, the waves of black long hair started to retreat and finally, even the lady ghost retreated back into the well.

Zhang Tianhu walked up. Because of his mask, no one could see his expression. However, his ferocious-looking mask started to change and a sinister vibe started to spread out.

Following which, he took out a grass doll dyed with blood and threw it into the well.

In all of these, the ghost in the well seemed to be under a certain pressure and could not even come out.

"It's done! I've sealed the ghost in the well. We don't have to worry about it for another 10 years..."

Zhan Tianhu spoke calmly.

"You're indeed the capable president to be able to seal even a powerful ghost!"

The rest of them started to sing praises for the president and Chen Xin's eyes glittered in admiration for him.

"Unfortunately... this is not the place!"

Zhan Tianhu sighed and spoke in a soft voice.

"Mr President!"

At this point in time, one of his members appeared stood out and reported with a weird expression.

"We have news that the curse of the pawnshop has been destroyed!"
