Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Slip Away for Great Luck

Master Sande was being chased and surrounded by these four ghost children, already scared out of his wits. Seeing Zhang Dadan so fierce, he wished he could worship him like an ancestor and didn’t dare argue with him.

“You are right… absolutely right… but the most urgent thing now is to get rid of these evil spirits and ensure the safety of this area!” Master Sande said hurriedly.

His righteous words were just for self-preservation. Though he couldn’t catch ghosts, he had been in the Daoist sect for a few years and knew the nature of ghosts; once offended, they would cling to you.

Even if he hadn’t done anything to harm them, who knew if they were petty? If they ended up hating him, wouldn’t his life be over?

Zhang Dadan ignored him, stepped forward a few steps, and said to the four ghost children, “If you know what’s good for you, you should quickly leave, go back to your place of worship, stay there quietly, and don’t come out to cause trouble and scare people! Otherwise, I will definitely show you my true methods!”

These four ghost children, if they were measured by human age, would be over twenty years old, with sound minds. Hearing Zhang Dadan’s words combining grace and threats, they looked at each other with a troubled expression.

Just when Zhang Dadan thought they would back off, he heard the sound of children sobbing again from the distant darkness.

The sobbing sound grew louder and more chaotic, indicating that the remaining ghost children were all coming out!

From the sound of it, there were clearly more than he had encountered yesterday. How many of them were there?

Zhang Dadan shouted fiercely, “It seems you are determined to do evil, huh? Then don’t blame me!”

With that, he took out the Jade Token from his chest, pointed it towards the ghost children. As soon as the Jade Token touched the evil aura, it instantly emitted countless golden lights, shooting towards the ghost children.

Wherever the golden light reached, the ghost children screamed in pain and then quickly dissipated. In an instant, the street returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

Master Sande watched all this in a state of greater shock and fear. Boss Zhang had such divine skills? Did this mean his identity as a fraud was already completely exposed?

“Zhang… Boss Zhang, your methods are truly impressive… truly impressive…” Master Sande complimented and was about to slip away.

But Zhang Dadan saw a use for him, so how could he let him go that easily? With a slight move, Zhang Dadan grabbed Master Sande.

Zhang Dadan grabbed him by the collar, used a bit of strength, threw him to the ground, looked down at him, and smiled, “Great Mage Sande, why are you leaving?”

Although he was smiling, his words were unquestionably chilly. Master Sande, who had been bluffing for so long, was best at observing and adapting to situations, immediately begged:

“Boss Zhang, please spare me! I won’t dare anymore! I promise to leave Stone Town right away!”

Through the bright moonlight, Zhang Dadan saw vaguely that there were indeed tears in the corners of his eyes, and found it even funnier in his heart.

Zhang Dadan teased, “Master Sande, are you crying? Why? I haven’t even thought about hitting you!”

Master Sande, first scared out of his wits by the ghosts, now felt the threat from Zhang Dadan, naturally more panicked, and in his distress, really shed a few tears.

“Zhang… Master Zhang, I know I shouldn’t have pretended. But I still have an eighty-year-old mother at home…”

Before he could finish his spiel, Zhang Dadan interrupted, “Do you also have a child who needs to be fed?”

Master Sande’s spiel, though old, had actually worked before, allowing him to escape from some ferocious villagers.

Seeing Zhang Dadan had preemptively spoken his prepared lines, Master Sande was dumbfounded for a few seconds, before he stupidly asked, “How do you know?”

Zhang Dadan was stunned at his words, thinking, Are you out of your mind? It’s just sarcasm, can’t you tell?

Master Sande knew it was sarcasm, but the slim hope in his heart made him say such foolish words.

“Enough! Stop your nonsense! Put away your spiel!” Zhang Dadan lightly kicked him, looked up at the altar nearby.

Seeing this, Master Sande had an even worse feeling, thinking, What is Boss Zhang planning? Keeping evidence?

Or planning to wake up those who were scared unconscious, to expose his deceit, and use Wang Zhanbei’s hand to severely punish him?

“Hey! Isn’t your altar too simple? How can you deceive with this?” Zhang Dadan glanced at the altar and sighed.

“Master Zhang… I really know I was wrong! I won’t dare again, please let me go!” Master Sande knelt and begged.

Before Zhang Dadan could respond, two people suddenly leaped out of the bushes behind, and Master Sande, thinking they were surviving evil spirits, immediately covered his head and lay on the ground.

The ones who emerged from the bushes were Bai Jie and Lin Wan, who approached Zhang Dadan with lingering fear, saying, “We should leave quickly!”

Master Sande, hearing the two and realizing they weren’t evil spirits, finally dared to lift his head again.

However, as soon as he lifted his head, he met Lin Wan’s eyes and quickly covered his head again, playing the ostrich.

Lin Wan, despite witnessing the existence of ghosts, still regarded the utterly useless Master Sande, who could only flee, as a fraud, and asked, “Zhang Dadan, how should we deal with this fraud?”

“Mr. Lin, please spare me! I know I was wrong! I won’t dare again!” Master Sande begged with his head hung low.

Master Sande had indeed encountered ghosts before, but they mostly possessed humans. These ghost children in Stone Town truly scared him to death.

He had already secretly vowed never to do such things again. After all, he could still practice Feng Shui apart from ghost catching!

But would Lin Wan let him off that easily? Impossible! Seeing Zhang Dadan not replying, Lin Wan continued:

“I heard he took a hundred thousand dollars to help catch these ghosts! This fraud amount isn’t small! Detaining him for three to five years shouldn’t be a problem!”

Three to five years? Wouldn’t my body be ruined? Having been imprisoned before, Master Sande deeply knew the hardship inside.

“Mr. Lin, please spare me! I haven’t even received the money yet!” Master Sande cried.

Seeing he was genuinely frightened by Lin Wan, Zhang Dadan finally spoke, “It’s not impossible for you to be spared! But you have to cooperate with me in one thing!”

Hearing this, Master Sande’s eyes lit up. Knowing Lin Wan and Zhang Dadan were acquaintances and Zhang Dadan had such skills, persuading Lin Wan shouldn’t be difficult.

“Master Zhang, please tell me! As long as it’s within my power, I am willing to do anything!” Master Sande pleaded dramatically.

Though Lin Wan knew Zhang Dadan’s plan, she still felt somewhat unhappy seeing he intended to spare Master Sande.

Zhang Dadan and Lin Wan exchanged a glance, signaling her to be patient, then smiled at Master Sande, “Rest assured! I won’t make you a beast of burden!”

“As long as you do as I say, not only will I not report you to the Government, but I can also get you that hundred thousand dollars!”

Master Sande was once again dumbfounded, Is there such a good thing? I don’t believe it! There must be some trick!
