Chapter 310: Failed Negotiation

Chu Jiang had seen information about the Ghost Hunting Society before he encountered Li Xiangtian, so he knew that the man standing before him in a purple suit was the president of the Ghost Hunting Society.

Not to mention, the deputy minister specifically mentioned this person during their recent phone conversation.

Chu Jiang shook his head in response to Li Xiangtian’s reasons. "But you still failed."

Li Xiangtian nodded slightly. "Might makes right, that’s the truth of this world. Some people say the methods of the Ghost Hunting Society are dirty, but I have always disregarded such remarks."

"To be honest, I thought I would fail, but I didn’t expect to fail in this way."

As he spoke, Li Xiangtian pressed a switch and the ground opened up, revealing a beautiful woman chained from below, who ascended to the surface.

The woman in a white dress was dirty and had bloodstains on her. At the moment, she even had a silver cross piercing her heart, but she didn’t die.

"This woman is my best assistant. I appreciate not her appearance, but her essence. I believe she and I are the same kind of people."

"I thought we would sympathize with each other, but in the end, it seemed like the heavens were telling me that someone like me shouldn’t have a companion."

"Actually, I didn’t tell her about the plan. But she knows me too well, and she holds a high position in the Ghost Hunting Society, so she still managed to uncover some clues."

"Even until the Lee Building was surrounded, I didn’t know that my plan had been exposed. It’s really laughable," Li Xiangtian shook his head helplessly.

The incapacitated woman paid no attention to Li Xiangtian, instead looking at Chu Jiang, saying, "Him, um…"

Li Xiangtian moved his finger silently, and the woman’s tongue was cut off, rolling out of her mouth.

The man remained calm and said, "Please be quiet, or else I might not be able to resist hurting you."

At the same time, the four Ghost Masters outside the scene were keeping an eye on what was happening inside the Ghost Domain. They tried to move the beautiful woman out, but they failed for an unknown reason.

"My request is simple, let me leave alive. The Ghost Hunting Society will be taken over by the Research Institute, and I won’t take anything with me."

"But if you insist on pushing me, not only will this woman die, but I will also make at least half of the people in Yunjing City be buried with me."

While speaking, Li Xiangtian pointed his finger behind him towards rows of safes. "Among these sealed ghosts, there are some extremely dangerous ones. There are even some that have no physical form. You wouldn’t be able to discover them if they were released."

"And they won’t be opened here, but will be scattered throughout every corner of Yunjing City."

"Don’t doubt my ability to do this, you can’t afford to take that risk."

After saying that, Li Xiangtian relaxed and leaned back. "Choosing Yunjing City as the headquarters was a right choice in the end."

Chu Jiang didn’t respond to the other person. He simply thought carefully about what to do next.

Actually, the deputy minister has two requests. One is to ensure that Wu Fangfang comes back alive, that tied-up woman who has done great work for the research institute, otherwise this operation won’t go smoothly.

The other is to make sure to kill this person named Li Xiangtian!

The deputy minister said that this guy is a dangerous individual, ruthless, sharp-minded, and strong.

If we let someone like him escape, it will definitely be a big problem for Research Institute No. 21 in the future. So surrendering to others is acceptable, but absolutely not for this Li Xiangtian.

At the moment, Li Xiangtian probably doesn’t know that Chu Jiang and the others have the powerful weapon called "Starting Over" in their hands.

So even if everything he says is true, Chu Jiang and the others still have a chance to turn things around.

Not to mention that Chu Jiang doesn’t fully trust what the other person says. Saying they will release the ghosts throughout the whole city? Do they really think the people in the research institute are just for show?

Can Chu Jiang guarantee that there are only two batches of troops and two team leaders now, and who knows how many people are watching us from outside?

As Chu Jiang pondered on how to efficiently get rid of this talkative guy, Xinxin had already dealt with the ghosts on the dead Ghost Masters and floated up lightly.

It is worth mentioning that she didn’t kill the other person, instead, she convinced them to surrender.

Chu Jiang had no idea how Xinxin did it, but he thought it was a bit strange because the Ghost Master had left, raising his hands high and crying.

"What about me? Do you want me to do it?" Xinxin seemed uninterested, not even looking at Li Xiangtian despite everything he had said before.

Chu Jiang asked, "Can you guarantee the safety of that lady? If you can, then we can finish quickly and go back, and also see how the other captains are doing."

"Okay," Xinxin agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that these two people didn’t care about him at all and made a life-or-death decision within a few sentences, Li Xiangtian remained calm on the surface, but couldn’t help feeling embarrassed inside.

Li Xiangtian clenched his fist slightly. He believed that even in the research institute, he could still be considered a captain-class in terms of combat power. Although winning against two opponents was not easy, he didn’t believe he would be defeated in a one-on-one fight.

Even if the opponent was Chu Jiang, the man who had once solved an S-class event.

Because dealing with humans and dealing with ghosts are not the same concept. Ghosts follow certain patterns, but humans don’t.

Of course, Li Xiangtian won’t fight Chu Jiang one-on-one. His goal now is to escape. The longer he delays, the more troublesome it becomes. His subordinates are already terrified, and it may not work out later.

Even if it works out, the other side still has the Ghost Master team, with more people. They are definitely at a disadvantage.

"Is the discussion over?" When Li Xiangtian spoke, a thin and ragged old man in monk’s clothing emerged from the next floor.

He held a begging bowl in his right hand, with dark brown skin, looking like an ascetic monk.

As soon as this old man appeared, Chu Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a dangerous person. Moreover, according to the research institute’s information, this person didn’t exist. It can only be said that the Ghost Hunting Society still had some hidden cards.

"Are you really willing to follow me and seek the existence of that Pure Land?" The ascetic monk looked at Li Xiangtian expressionlessly.

"The condition is that I can still stay alive. The research institute clearly wants me dead now." Li Xiangtian stood up. "Since the negotiation has failed, Master, please take action. Otherwise, not only me, but I’m afraid you will also die here. They don’t care if you are from the Ghost Hunting Society or not."

The ascetic monk sighed, and at that moment, the leader of the research institute quickly took the microphone from his subordinate, intending to negotiate with this mysterious Ghost Master.

But what he didn’t expect was that the other party started chanting, reciting some eerie scriptures.

The mysterious chanting sound filled the air, making all the Ghost Masters present feel a restless energy inside them. It seemed like the ghosts within them were starting to awaken faster.

What’s even more dangerous is that the sealed jars behind Li Xiangtian suddenly began to shake on their own. It seemed like the fierce ghosts inside them were waking up quickly.

It’s feared that once the jars are broken, the ghosts inside will appear in their fully revived form, instead of needing some time to regain their full power.
