The next day.
Hawaii Airport.
At this moment.
Zhang Wei stood at the departure gate, waiting for Fatty to arrive. After talking with Fatty last night, to revive the tailor as soon as possible, Fatty dared not delay and chose to take a flight with the Soul Summoning Banner overnight.
He had originally planned to go in person, which might have been faster, but he thought about how the Wei Dao Division was now paying attention to the movements of the Sen Luo Division, and even the True Dragon Guard Sheng Xuan had been dispatched. He feared that his large movements would be discovered, so he chose to take a plane.
"In about twelve minutes, Brother Fatty will arrive."
Zhang Wei checked the airport time and thought about Fatty currently flying to Hawaii with the Soul Summoning Banner. He couldn't help but twitch his mouth as he thought of something:
"Brother Fatty bringing the Soul Summoning Banner to Hawaii to find me, isn't that the same as the Sen Luo Division bringing the Soul Summoning Banner to find me? Zhang Chao, that jinx... I need to find him a girlfriend and keep Zhang Chao's mouth shut so he talks less."
...
At the same time.
In Jizhou Province, the province closest to the three northeastern provinces, in the unfinished building where Fatty had stayed with the tailor.
Several figures appeared here.
There were four people who came, three of whom kept glancing at a young man, not even daring to stand shoulder to shoulder with him, falling back a step. Even though the three of them were all older than the young man, reaching middle age.
Even.
If any ghost exorcists from this province saw the three of them, they would definitely recognize them. Not only were they older, but their identities were also significant. They were the heads of the Wei Dao Division in Jizhou Province. However, even so, they were still respectful towards the young man, all because of the young man's identity as a True Dragon Guard – Sheng Xuan.
"Director Sheng, today we received a notification that there was a powerful ghost aura here. Preliminary determination shows it surpasses that of an ordinary ghost king. See if it is related to the Sen Luo Division you are tracking."
One of the responsible persons spoke.
Sheng Xuan did not speak, but nervously looked up at the unfinished building:
"The aura is the same as the place where I went to the northeast to refine the Soul Summoning Banner. It should be from the Sen Luo Division."
In his words.
Sheng Xuan's heart pounded, and he muttered to himself:
"That refining place was too disgusting, it almost made me vomit. Will this ghost being refined also look disgusting? Heaven bless me, please don't be too scary. However..."
Then he looked up at the weather. It was a scorching summer day, with the sun high in the sky, and the temperature was at least 40 degrees Celsius:
"It's good that the weather is hot enough, I can pretend to have heatstroke and faint then."
His thoughts.
The three responsible persons beside him did not know. They were eagerly looking at Sheng Xuan. This morning they learned that a powerful ghost king had allegedly appeared here, and they immediately notified Sheng Xuan. The latter rushed over immediately. If there were members of the Sen Luo Division here, especially a refiner, their strength would definitely not be weaker than the mastermind behind it, and it would have to be left to Sheng Xuan. /
Immediately.
Led by Sheng Xuan, who was steeling himself, they entered the unfinished building and arrived at the room where Fatty had been.
It could be seen.
It was still frozen here, but Fatty was no longer present.
"It seems the other party has moved."
A responsible person said, looking at the empty room. There was only a trace of someone lying down in the room, with dust on the ground around it, indicating that the other party had already left.
"But there is residual fluctuation of the Soul Summoning Banner's aura."
Sheng Xuan added, his gaze falling on the trace of someone lying on the ground. He could feel that the other party had used the Soul Summoning Banner, creating ice that could freeze even souls. If it weren't for him, the other three responsible persons, even if they had reached the Qilin Guard level, would have been frozen into ice upon entering.
After an inspection.
Confirming that Fatty had already left, Sheng Xuan did not linger any longer and politely said:
"Since the refiner is not here, I will leave first and continue to track the whereabouts of the Soul Summoning Banner."
"Yes, yes, Director Sheng, we'll trouble you with the matter of the Soul Summoning Banner."
The oldest responsible person said.
Sheng Xuan waved his hand and nodded seriously, saying:
"The Soul Summoning Banner involves a major issue. I will do my best to track it down and obtain it, and I will never let the Soul Summoning Banner fall into the hands of the Sen Luo Division or anyone else."
...
On the other side.
Hawaii Airport.
Zhang Wei, who was watching the departure gate, sneezed:
"Huh? Did I catch a cold from taking a bath for too long yesterday?"
In his words.
Zhang Wei paid no attention, his attention was all on the departure gate. Many people were coming out, the flight had arrived, and passengers were coming out one after another.
Soon.
Scanning the crowd, Zhang Wei's gaze fell on a plump figure. He was holding a cello case and looking around. Then, upon seeing Zhang Wei, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly ran over:
"Zhang Wei."
"Brother Fatty."
Zhang Wei looked at Fatty, his gaze falling on the cello case, his eyes shining. He didn't need to think that the Soul Summoning Banner was inside. He had seen many magical artifacts and ghosts, but he had never seen a national-level one.
"Brother Fatty, did you come here without being discovered?"
"No, when it comes to my hiding skills, I'm second to none. Look how long I've been in the Sen Luo Division, and the outside world hasn't discovered that there's me in the Sen Luo Division."
"Really? But I discovered you."
"Ah, this..."
"I'm not joking with you, Brother Fatty. Let's leave here first and go to the Hawaiian villa I booked."
"Okay, then let's go get the tailor's main body."
Fatty responded, and as he walked out of the airport, out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask:
"Zhang Wei, are you really planning to help me? That wouldn't be good for you, after all, I'm from the Sen Luo Division, and you're helping the Sen Luo Division, wouldn't that be..."
Before he could finish.
Zhang Wei interrupted him and said directly:
"In the future, help me get more information about the Sen Luo Division. Friends should share, shouldn't they? Hehe."
"Alas, alright. Although selling information is beneath my villainous aura, for the sake of the tailor, I can only make an exception."
...
A short while later.
A seaside villa on a beach in Hawaii.
As soon as he entered.
Zhang Wei did not hesitate. He pulled the doors and curtains shut, and after confirming that no one was around, he let Fatty take out the tailor and the Soul Summoning Banner.
As Fatty carried the tailor's corpse out of a large wooden box.
Seeing this.
Zhang Wei's eyebrows shot up and he said:
"Brother Fatty, now I know why you're trying to save the tailor at all costs. He's quite handsome."
His gaze fell on the tailor's corpse.
Fatty's mouth twitched. Fearing that Zhang Wei's personality would lead him to ask, "Do you want to have a go while it's hot, Brother Fatty?", he quickly changed the subject:
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is also the first time I've seen the tailor's main body. Let's not talk about this. Here's the Soul Summoning Banner for you."
At the same time.
He took out the Soul Summoning Banner from the cello case, and without thinking, handed it directly to Zhang Wei and asked:
"What should I do next? Do you need anything else? If you do, tell me, and I'll get it now."
His words came out.
Zhang Wei, who was taking the Soul Summoning Banner and examining it, smiled slightly and said:
"I need you to sit next to me and watch me show off. Then, after I revive the tailor, you'll applaud on the spot. If you also kowtow in gratitude, I'll be even happier."
Then.
Zhang Wei picked up the Soul Summoning Banner in his hand, examined it for a while, and felt the terrifying fluctuations on it. He murmured:
"Is this a national-level ghost object? If I were to use it in the United States, I'm afraid that the number three figure wouldn't dare to go out."
After speaking.
He said no more, looked at the Soul Summoning Banner, and then felt the tailor's corpse lying on the sofa beside him. He had already confirmed that the tailor was indeed as Fatty had said.
The next moment.
With a thought.
A system prompt sounded in his mind.
【Ding! Enhanced with national-level ghost object Soul Summoning Banner 1 System Point】
