Chapter 83: Suppression with One Hand

Everyone was attracted by the commotion and turned to look.

They saw a strange black mist rising from the previously ordinary foundation.

The black mist swirled and shot up into the sky.

The nearest worker was so frightened that his legs gave out, and he fell to the ground.

Others around him changed their expressions upon witnessing this scene.

“Run!”

“Get Old Xu back first!”

The workers were thrown into chaos.

Three or four of them managed to suppress their fear and hurriedly pulled the fainted worker back.

The members of the Nan family also took a step back when they saw this.

Nan Xuan Fei looked at the floating black mist, her face pale with fright.

“What is that thing!”

She had originally thought that the so-called evil energy was just nonsensical talk, and the videos online were merely special effects.

But now, seeing this scene in reality left her speechless with her mouth wide open.

Nan Yue Ran, witnessing this, turned pale and went to Bai Chen’s side.

“Bai Chen, is that evil energy?”

Bai Chen narrowed his eyes at the black mist in the sky and nodded.

“Yes, that is indeed evil energy.”

“Do you have a way to deal with it?”

A hint of tension appeared on Nan Yue Ran’s face.

“If we can’t, let’s leave. That thing looks very dangerous; you shouldn’t take any risks.”

“We can always abandon the Zijin Garden project; safety must come first.”

Nan Yue Ran looked at Bai Chen with concern.

She didn’t want Bai Chen to take risks.

Not even a slight chance was acceptable for her.

Seeing the worry on Nan Yue Ran’s face, Bai Chen felt a warmth in his heart and gently held her hand.

“Don’t worry, I’m confident I can handle it.”

Just then, the situation on the site changed again.

The worker named Old Xu had been dragged away by a fellow worker,

but the evil energy seemed to be drawn towards everyone, rushing at them.

Seeing this, Nan Xuan Fei immediately ran away, and the surrounding members of the Nan family scattered in all directions.

Old Xu looked at the evil energy that was so close, his face turning pale.

At that moment, he thought of his family, his wife, his children, and his parents.

What haunted him the most was the terrible condition of a worker who had been consumed by the evil energy yesterday.

“Dad, Mom, I have been an unfilial son. Wife, daughter, I’m sorry.”

Old Xu despairingly closed his eyes.

The members of the Nan family who had escaped to a distance also watched this scene with lingering fear.

Nan Xuan Fei’s face was pale, her chest rising and falling rapidly.

She looked at Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran, who remained motionless, and coldly sneered.

“At a time like this, they still won’t run. They must really want to live dangerously!”

“Bai Chen said he could handle this. I’m curious to see how he will manage!”

“If another person dies on the Zijin Garden project, the entire Lintai will know that this is a cursed place! I want to see who else would dare come here!”

As she watched the evil energy about to engulf the worker, a sense of pleasure surged in her heart.

“Hmph! Let’s see what you all will do this time!”

Just as Old Xu closed his eyes to await his fate, and fear spread among the onlookers, Bai Chen moved.

In just a breath, Bai Chen appeared before Old Xu, calmly staring at the evil energy.

At that moment, Nan Yue Ran’s heart raced in fear for Bai Chen’s safety.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Bai Chen grabbed the terrifying evil energy with one hand.

Boom!

A sound like a balloon bursting filled the air.

The once fearsome evil energy was crushed in Bai Chen’s grip!

To Bai Chen, this trivial evil energy was nothing more than something he could eliminate with ease.

He was a Patriarch Zombie who had lived for ten thousand years; the evil energy he carried within himself was a billion times more than this!

The reason he did all this was to reverse the Feng Shui and create a money-attracting environment for the Zijin Garden.

The evil energy was merely something he could get rid of effortlessly.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene, their faces filled with disbelief!

“This, this is impossible!”

Nan Xuan Fei gaped at Bai Chen.

The visual shock of Bai Chen exploding the black mist was overwhelming.

She could hardly believe that Bai Chen was capable of this.

This was beyond the abilities of a martial artist.

How could Bai Chen, a rural folk who had come down from the mountain, possess such power?

The other members of the Nan family, who had come with Nan Xuan Fei, also stared at this scene in awe, their hearts stirred.

Old Xu, who had survived the disaster, looked at Bai Chen standing before him, and tears of gratitude streamed down his face.

He hurriedly knelt down and knocked his head on the ground, saying, “Thank you, Boss! Thank you, Boss!”

Bai Chen gently lifted Old Xu, his expression calm and composed.

“Since you are workers under the Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce, I will naturally not let you get hurt.”

“I will solve the problems here right away, and then you can continue your work as normal.”

Xiao Si Yan and Nan Yue Ran rushed over with worried expressions.

Nan Yue Ran quickly came to Bai Chen’s side, nervously touching him all over, her face filled with concern.

“Are you hurt?”

“You really scared me just now!”

“Let me check if your hands are okay.”

Seeing Nan Yue Ran’s worried expression, Bai Chen smiled slightly and opened his arms for her to see.

When Nan Yue Ran saw Bai Chen was unharmed and perfectly fine, she let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Si Yan walked up to Bai Chen, trying to calm her own worries, her expression neutral.

“Boss, you weren’t hurt, were you?”

Bai Chen lightly nodded at Xiao Si Yan.

“I’m fine. Once I solve the issues here, you can tell the workers below to relax.”

“I understand, Boss.”

At that moment, Nan Xuan Fei walked over with the group from the Nan family.

As they approached, Nan Xuan Fei already felt suspicious.

Could it be possible that the so-called evil energy had no real attacking power at all?

Maybe Bai Chen easily dispelled it without using much effort?

Perhaps even they ordinary people could have done the same.

Bai Chen glanced at the evil energy in the foundation.

Now, the evil energy was quietly hiding underground, losing the arrogance it had before.

Bai Chen then addressed the workers, saying, “There’s nothing to worry about here anymore. You can continue your work. I’ll keep watch, and nothing will happen.”

Upon hearing Bai Chen’s words, everyone exchanged glances and quickly got busy.

Bai Chen’s previous actions had already proven his words.

Their safety was assured, so they no longer had any worries.

Soon, with the efforts of numerous workers, the golden toad sculpture that Bai Chen requested was successfully completed.

It would be ready to spit water as soon as boiling water was added.

Nan Xuan Fei watched this scene with an uneasy expression.

She had been thinking that Bai Chen and Nan Yue Ran couldn’t handle the Zijin Garden situation and would need to ask her for help later.

But now, this scene made her feel somewhat anxious.

“Hmph! It’s just a broken statue. What could it possibly do?”

“I see you’re still trying to put on a show at this point!”

Bai Chen cast a light glance at Nan Xuan Fei, ignoring her, and then turned to the workers.

“Boil the water.”
