The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine

Chapter 416: The Purple-clad Fierce Ghost Arrives
“Damn it! You guys don’t want to run this hotel anymore, do you? Look at the time! It’s three in the morning! How dare you wake us up! No, I’m changing hotels!”

“I’m definitely complaining about you guys!”

“Where is the duty manager? Come over here now! Today, you must give us an explanation!”

…

The first-floor lobby is crowded with people, filled with various noises.

‘Ah~~ These guys, even at death’s door, they’re still making noise…’ Huang Xiaolong shook his head helplessly.

To be honest, he could easily ignore them and protect only the members of the Sun Family. The others could be left to their own devices, becoming fodder for the ghost in the purple robe in its pursuit of power.

However, Huang Xiaolong still couldn’t bring himself to do that.

Huang Xiaolong had Sun Hu calm down the people in the lobby, then he took out a big bunch of protective charms from his canvas bag and gave them to Sun Wei and the others.

“These are ‘Evil Repelling Charms’. Hurry up and stick them around the hotel…” Huang Xiaolong advised. “On the main door, windows, elevators… everything.”

After receiving the charms, Sun Wei and the others immediately got busy using them like sticky notes.

Afterwards, Huang Xiaolong left the hotel and went to a patch of grass outside. “Ah~~ I ended up having to activate this formation after all. It doesn’t matter though, once the ghost in the purple robe, Fangfang, shows up, I’ll just exterminate it.”

Soon, Huang Xiaolong pulled out a big bunch of copper coins from his bag.

These are called Five Emperors’ Coins.

The so-called Five Emperors’ Coins usually refer to the “Five Emperors’ Coins of the Qing Dynasty”, which were minted during the reigns of five prosperous emperors – Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Jiaqing. These five emperors ruled for a total of 180 years during the most splendid period of the Qing Dynasty, known as the “Kangxi and Qianlong Golden Era”.

The Five Emperors’ Coins, made of brass and of yellowish color, have a history of about 300 years and are widely circulated, having passed through many hands over the years.

In total, there were eighty-eight or sixty-four of these Emperor’s Coins.

Huang Xiaolong buried these coins around the patch of grass according to directions.

Then, after burning a few charms, he successfully set up a formation – the Golden Light Body Protection Formation.

This formation is a defensive one. It doesn’t have much offensive power, but anyone standing inside the formation is as if protected by an iron-cloth armor, illuminated by golden light and infused with Dao power. Even if hordes of vengeful ghosts were to attack, they wouldn’t be able to step into the formation!

A formation set up by Huang Xiaolong himself could naturally resist the Yin Qi and Evil Qi of the Nine Babies’ Evil Formation. Even if the evil formation had been activated, there would be no problems as long as one stood within Huang Xiaolong’s Golden Light Body Protection Formation.

After setting up the formation, Huang Xiaolong returned to the hotel lobby and announced loudly, “Listen everyone! I won’t explain anything, but something very dangerous will happen soon… Right now, all the lonely ghosts around have gathered… If you want to survive, get out immediately and stand in the grass outside, and don’t step away even half a step!”

After hearing his words, mocking laughter and curses filled the lobby.

Obviously, many people held contempt for Huang Xiaolong’s words.

Only a small number of people, who somewhat believed in spirits or chose to believe for safety’s sake, followed Huang Xiaolong’s instructions, left the hotel and stood in line in the grassy area, right inside the Golden Light Body Protection Formation.

“Forget it, let’s file a complaint against this hotel tomorrow. Let’s go back to sleep~~~” Many people prepared to return to their rooms and continue sleeping.

Sun Hu and others shouted loudly, “It’s true! There are evil spirits lingering! We’ve seen it with our own eyes! Everyone, please heed Master Long’s words, otherwise, your lives will be in great danger!”

Sun Wei was also very anxious.

However, Huang Xiaolong was unfazed. “Forget them, I’ve done my part. Whether they live or die no longer concerns me. Sister Bai Hu, just stick with me and you’ll be fine. I will protect you, and I’ll torture that ghost in the purple robe to death later.”

After he finished speaking, Huang Xiaolong swept his gaze through the lobby. “Some lone ghosts have already entered.”

Although Huang Xiaolong had asked Sun Wei and the others to stick the ‘Evil Repelling Charms’ all over the hotel, the Carnival Hotel was ultimately too big, and the number of charms that Huang Xiaolong had was limited, making it impossible to cover every inch.

Just at that moment!

A man in a black shirt found a bucket of gasoline from somewhere. He rushed to the hotel entrance, poured the gasoline over himself, lit it with a lighter with a crazy and twisted smile on his face, and set himself on fire!

The man was blazing up, crazily rushing towards the hotel lobby. Instead of screaming in pain, he was laughing manically, trying to embrace others and perish together.

People in the lobby started screaming and dodging.

“Ah~~ Someone is already possessed by a ghost.” Huang Xiaolong said with a smirk.

This sudden turn of events caused some people in the lobby to panic. In fear, they all ran towards the lawn Huang Xiaolong had mentioned.

The next second!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All the lights in the entire hotel went out!

Suddenly, the hotel was plunged into darkness!

Panic spread rapidly!

“Ah~~~~ Is there… really a ghost? Oh God! There really is a ghost! Run! Run!”

At this point, the crowd scrambled towards the lawn outside the hotel.

Soon after, only Huang Xiaolong and the Sun Family were left in the hotel lobby. All the other people, including the hotel staff, the front desk and other workers, had all run to the lawn, standing in the rain.

The lawn, crowded with people, was a massive dark mass. Every face was filled with indescribable fear, panic, helplessness, worry, and anxiety…

“Master Long… we should… we should also hurry and run outside… This hotel is pitch dark, and… it seems like some creepy eyes are staring at us…” Sun Hu said tremblingly as he walked next to Huang Xiaolong.

“Us? Too late…” Huang Xiaolong said dismissively with a laugh. “But it doesn’t matter, as long as you follow me, there won’t be a problem. It’s even safer than hiding in the golden protection formation.”

Just then!

Whooosh~~~~whooosh~whooosh~~~~

A chilling wind blew outside!

Then there were messy footsteps, along with several growling sounds, like… a lot of… things, were ready to rush into the hotel!

The evil-averting charms stuck on the hotel’s main entrance caught fire.

Amidst the darkness, shrill and agonizing howls rang out.

Sun Wei was so scared she hid in Huang Xiaolong’s embrace, while other members of the Sun Family in the lobby turned weak-kneed.

After a while, the activity at the hotel entrance came to an end.

Huang Xiaolong and the others stepped out to take a look.

Under the dim moonlight, footprints, both adult-sized and child-sized, covered the marble slab at the hotel entrance. The glass door of the hotel was smeared with blood handprints of varying sizes, random and scattered.

Also, the air was filled with a nauseating stench.

“My evil-averting charms just exterminated a number of lost souls and wild ghosts trying to break into the hotel.” Huang Xiaolong explained.

Just then!

A large mass of dark, evil Qi floated down from the sky, completely shrouding the hotel!

Vaguely, you could make out a woman’s figure amidst the evil Qi.

“Oh… the Ghost Lady in Purple is here.” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin.

At the same time!

From eight directions outside the hotel, sudden explosions rang out. The marble panels at these eight spots shattered, and fountains of fresh blood spurted out. Eight infant corpses, running, leaping, charged at the hotel from all directions!

Like mad dogs!

“Wa~~wa wa~~wa wa wa~~~~~~”

Chilling cries of babies echoed intermittently.
