Zhong Kui's Diary
"That's more like it," I nodded and asked, "So, you came here to hide?"
Yun Zhihan looked helpless. "What else could I do?"
Seeing Yun Zhihan transformed into the Curly-Haired Woman looking pitifully at me, I couldn't help but chuckle. "Was that phone call earlier also from you?"
Yun Zhihan nodded. "I've been trying to call you, but couldn't get through. I didn't dare leave a message, so I thought of this method."
"What do you want me to do?" I asked slowly. Honestly, I didn't have much fondness for Yun Zhihan. Perhaps it was his methods against Sha Zhiyuan's family that left me uneasy.
"I hope to work with you to draw out this mysterious person!" Yun Zhihan looked straight at me.
Work with me to draw out the mysterious person? I was momentarily confused. How could I cooperate with you? Should I sell the Yin-Yang Ancient Coin on the street? Rubbing my head, I said, "Be clearer."
"That mysterious person killed Qu Wubing, and next, they will definitely come after me to steal my Yin-Yang Ancient Coin. If I don't show my face, it's fine, but once I do, they'll surely try to kill me," Yun Zhihan frowned.
"And then?"
"There’s a simple way: you hide beside me. As soon as they appear and prepare to kill me, you come out to help. Together, even a Soul Level expert won't stand a chance," Yun Zhihan said ominously.
"Your plan is completely unfeasible." I firmly rejected it.
"What’s unfeasible about it?" Yun Zhihan became anxious.
"First of all, let me remind you that breaking invisibility is quite simple. Just recite a spell and use a Willow Leaf to wipe your eyelids; even an ordinary person can see someone invisible. Not to mention that this mysterious person is definitely more powerful than both of us; your invisibility won't work against them." I chuckled lightly. "Secondly, I don't even know any invisibility techniques!"
I wasn't joking; such techniques weren't something anyone could easily learn. Even among Qingcheng and Kong Xuan, only Qingcheng had a bit of skill in it, and her invisibility wasn't very effective. As for Kong Xuan, she couldn't do it at all.
This type of Spell isn't related to magical power but depends on one's understanding of the spell itself. Thus, I concluded that Kong Xuan wasn't as clever as Qingcheng. However, every time I used this reasoning to criticize Kong Xuan, she would mockingly retort, "Aren't you just as clueless? And you're supposed to be at the Grandmaster Level! Pfft!"
Yun Zhihan sighed in relief and said, "You must know that every Grandmaster-level Expert has their own unique skills. The Ghost Zombie's is Devouring Earth, Gugu's is Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation, and my exclusive skill is Burrow into the Earth. After casting this Spell, I can remain invisible for one hour. My invisibility is genuine; even if you open your eyes, you absolutely won't see me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape the mysterious person's clutches."
Upon hearing this from Yun Zhihan, I was astonished and replied, "If that's the case, why are you worried? Just become invisible and board a plane; after an hour, no one will know where you went. How could the mysterious person possibly catch up with you?"
Yun Zhihan smiled wryly and said, "Zheng Nan, you can't underestimate this mysterious person's abilities. No matter where I run, he always manages to find my trace within a week."
"Is the mysterious person really that powerful? How do you know he found you?" I asked in surprise.
"It's a feeling that can't be explained," he replied.
"Alright, since your unique skill is Burrow into the Earth, what does that mean?"
"I can teach it to you," Yun Zhihan declared loudly.
"Hey, don't kid me. This is your unique skill; how could I learn it so easily? If it were that simple, it wouldn't be unique at all; we might as well call it a common skill. If others could learn it right away, why wouldn't you teach it to Qu Wubing? Also, I'm human and you're a Demon; how could I possibly learn your Demon skills?" I looked at Yun Zhihan skeptically.
"I can answer all your questions with one phrase: magical power determines everything. As long as your magical power is sufficient, the gap between humans and Demons no longer exists," Yun Zhihan said with a bitter smile. "Do you think I haven't taught Qu Wubing? I did, but his magical power wasn't enough, so he couldn't learn it."
"Just because he couldn't learn it doesn't mean I can. I can't even grasp basic invisibility techniques," I said increasingly astonished.
"To learn Burrow into the Earth, you either need to comprehend it yourself or have sufficient magical power. I don't know what experiences you've had recently, but I can tell that your magical power is already at the peak of Grandmaster Level. Forget about Qu Wubing; even Yazhi or the deceased Ghost Zombie didn't have as much magical power as you," Yun Zhihan said while looking at me with flickering eyes.
"What good is having abundant magical power if I still can't defeat you?" I replied sourly, thinking that what I lacked was techniques.
Yun Zhihan wet his lips with his tongue and said, "Think of it this way: if you only have one hundred dollars and are asked to earn ten thousand dollars, that's unrealistic. But if you have one million dollars and are asked to earn ten thousand dollars, that's easy. The same principle applies here; your current magical power is your capital. Learning our unique skills becomes very simple."
"Wow, so there's such a method," I couldn't help but feel intrigued as I squinted at Yun Zhihan. If that's the case, then I'll learn more techniques and make it hard for you all to keep up.
"The Spell for Burrow into the Earth works like this..." To save his own life, Yun Zhihan generously shared the incantation with me in detail. He ended with a bitter smile and said, "When using Burrow into the Earth, your magical power will be lower than usual; only after the Spell is lifted will your magical power return to normal. Sigh... now that Qu Wubing is dead, apart from me and you, no one else will know the incantation for Burrow into the Earth."
After practicing for over half an hour, I finally managed to use this Spell fluently. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride while also feeling a hint of regret; unfortunately, Fatty wouldn't be able to learn this Spell either; otherwise, he would definitely take many stunning pictures to show off.
"What's next?" I asked with a grin.
"Next, you will stay invisible by my side, and then I will make an appearance to draw out that mysterious person," Yun Zhihan said confidently.
"Are you kidding? The duration of your Spell is only one hour, and the cooldown time is three hours. If he doesn't show up within that hour, I'll have to prepare for another three... Yun Zhihan, I don't have that much time to waste with you!" I snorted coldly.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'll find an open and deserted place to show off a bit, and he will naturally take notice," Yun Zhihan said, his eyes glinting with cold light.
"Alright then, let's do it!"
...
The two of us walked out of the Massage parlor, and the beautiful women outside all smiled at me. One girl whispered, "Wow, you're out so soon? This money is really easy to make."
Yun Zhihan ignored them and just led me toward the exit.
"Sasha, where are you going?" a plump middle-aged woman called out loudly.
"I've decided to keep her!" I said playfully with a laugh.
A stir ensued, and one girl quietly asked, "How much?"
"One thousand a month, not including food!"
Amidst the stunned silence, we swaggered away.
...
We hailed a taxi and arrived at the foot of Jigong Mountain in the River District. After getting out, we walked for over two hours before reaching the summit. This was the highest point in Star City; due to the construction of a television tower, a large flat area had been cleared at the top. The Azure White Clouds were lush and green, making it very suitable for outdoor activities—uh, not that kind of activity; I mean it was very suitable for fighting.
Yun Zhihan clasped his hands in front of his chest, his lips moving as he chanted a few incantations. Flames flickered in his palms while thick brown smoke swirled around him. As the flames grew redder and the smoke became denser, when the flames were blindingly bright and the smoke turned black, Yun Zhihan raised his hands. A tiger engulfed in flames leaped up, surrounded by swirling brown smoke. With a roar, it soared toward a nearby white cloud.
The fiery tiger flew further and further away, its body becoming more and more faint. As it approached the white clouds, the tiger suddenly transformed into a brown cloud, vaguely resembling the shape of a tiger.
"What does this mean?" I asked, pointing at the sky in confusion.
"This is my unique secret technique, Hellfire Tiger," Yun Zhihan said with a slight smile. At that moment, he returned to his original state—calm and wise. In another context, this would be called showing off.
"This kind of processed Spell can only be seen by experts whose magical power has reached Grandmaster Level or above. Moreover, anyone familiar with me knows that this Hellfire Tiger is something I alone can use. No matter who that mysterious person is, once they see this tiger-shaped cloud, they will know I am casting a Spell and will definitely rush over immediately." Yun Zhihan paused and looked at me. "By the way, you can go invisible now. As soon as this mysterious person notices the tiger cloud, they will come quickly."
I nodded, prepared the Spell, and felt a ripple in the air. Then, before my eyes, it was as if a mist had enveloped everything; everything appeared blurry. Even Yun Zhihan, just five meters away, was only a vague outline. This situation indicated that I had successfully turned invisible.
Ten minutes passed without any unusual occurrences. Now that my eyes were open, even if the mysterious person came invisibly, I would still be able to see them—unless they also knew the Burrow into the Earth Spell.
Twenty minutes passed with still no anomalies.
Thirty minutes passed, and there was still nothing unusual.
Just at the forty-five-minute mark, a gust of wind seemed to blow through, and that mass of tiger-shaped dark clouds was instantly scattered by the wind, disappearing without a trace moments later.
