Yin Yang Demon Suppression
Joan's complaints went unheard. However, Old Ma was quite adept at handling people, even though Ye Mingshang did not show any signs of displeasure. Well, his demeanor never really suggested he was happy.
Although Old Village Chief did not believe in Ye Mingshang's abilities, Old Ma certainly did. He had the fortune to witness Ye Mingshang in action once, and that thunderous display of power left him deeply impressed. He had never seen anyone so powerful; Exorcism was as easy as reaching into a pocket for him.
Due to his limited experience, the strongest he had encountered was his master, but in his eyes, even the master could not compare to Ye Mingshang's prowess. However, he did not think that Ye Mingshang was a Human Immortal or above; he should be at the pinnacle among masters. After all, achieving the status of Human Immortal was exceedingly difficult, and with Ye Mingshang being so young, it would be impossible to reach such heights so quickly even if he had been cultivating since birth. Moreover, the last known ascension occurred two hundred years ago. It was uncertain whether that Human Immortal had fallen.
“Village Chief, the deployment should still be arranged by Senior Brother Ye. This monster is beyond what my limited powers can handle,” Old Ma said with a smile.
“Well... alright then. I will leave it to Senior Brother Ye,” the village chief hesitated slightly but felt helpless as Old Ma completely pushed the responsibility onto Ye Mingshang.
Ye Mingshang pondered for a moment, then looked around before setting off in a specific direction.
Seeing Ye Mingshang leave, everyone exchanged glances and followed suit. However, Ye Mingshang ran incredibly fast; despite the villagers putting in their utmost effort, they found themselves falling further behind.
“Sigh~ Sigh~ I don’t know how capable this young man is, but he sure runs fast. He could definitely win a gold medal at the Olympics,” a middle-aged man panted.
Eventually, Ye Mingshang stopped in front of a five-story Building, which was also the tallest structure in the village. Looking up, he casually scanned a few areas. Quietly casting a derived spell on his legs, he walked straight towards the wall.
At that moment, the villagers who had been running fast caught up and saw Ye Mingshang heading straight for the wall. They were puzzled and were about to call out to him when their eyes widened in surprise.
They watched as Ye Mingshang stepped onto the wall as if walking on flat ground, his body turning sideways. He continued to ascend step by step without any visible effort.
“What! Is this some kind of magic trick?” one villager exclaimed in astonishment.
“Huff!~ Huff!~ Hmm!” A later-arriving villager was gasping for breath when he suddenly widened his eyes.
"Nima! Is this Spider-Man?!"
"Spider-Man uses both hands and feet; he isn't using his hands."
"Is this some kind of magic?"
...
There was no doubt that the villagers were shocked to see Ye Mingshang walking on the wall as if it were flat ground. Even Old Ma and Joan, who knew of Ye Mingshang's extraordinary abilities, were wide-eyed.
Ye Mingshang's skills in Daoist Arts and martial arts were indeed impressive, and if he had climbed up with his bare hands, they wouldn't have been surprised. However, this act that completely defied gravity truly astonished them. It looked far more impressive than Angel's street magic.
Ye Mingshang had his reasons for doing this. One was to move quickly, and the other was to establish his authority, showing everyone his capabilities. This would make them more inclined to trust him in future endeavors, avoiding unnecessary trouble.
In fact, Ye Mingshang could have moved faster, but he chose to stroll leisurely, making him appear even more enigmatic and relaxed.
Standing on the rooftop, Ye Mingshang surveyed the village's terrain and feng shui. Although he didn't know much about feng shui, his mastery of Daoist Arts was so profound that it could easily compensate for any shortcomings in his understanding of feng shui.
After observing for a while, Ye Mingshang already had a rough plan in mind. Once he came down, he asked the villagers to bring paper and pen to write down the materials he would need.
"What's wrong? Is there an issue?" Seeing the village chief frowning deeply, Ye Mingshang asked.
"Senior Brother Ye, regarding your prescription, black Dog Blood, there's plenty of that in the village, and the local herbalist has rooster comb blood as well. But what are yellow middle white and hundred herb frost?" The village chief expressed his confusion.
"Yellow middle white is the white substance found in chicken droppings, and hundred herb frost is just ash from the bottom of a pot. Make sure to clean the yellow middle white thoroughly," Ye Mingshang explained.
In Chen Family Hollow, the village chief held considerable authority, especially since this matter concerned the entire village. Once the list was passed down, all the villagers were actively preparing for it.
"Is there anything else you need, Senior Brother Ye?" the village chief inquired.
"There's one more thing. I just saw an open space in the center of the village. I plan to set up a formation there to lure that monster. Once the materials are ready, we will go and arrange it. Additionally, I need two adult virgins each from the Dragon, Ox, Tiger, and Dog zodiac signs to guard the town."
"Alright, I'll arrange that right away."
With not much to do for the moment, everyone felt a bit tired. After returning to the village chief's house and eating something, they went to rest.
Two hours later, Ye Mingshang woke up from his meditation. Meditation had been his habit for many years; during short breaks, he would not lie down to sleep but would sit in meditation instead. This helped him recover his spirit better and kept his mind alert.
At this time, Fellow had also prepared everything and placed it in the central square of the village. The young virgins from the Dragon, Tiger, Ox, and Dog zodiac signs were already on standby in the square. However, their faces clearly showed some fear; after all, who wouldn't be afraid when facing these unseen and mysterious entities?
Old Ma was quite reliable and had woken up early. Seeing Ye Mingshang arrive, he instinctively went to wake Joan. However, this Fellow was evidently exhausted and snoring loudly; Old Ma called out several times without waking him. Just as he was feeling troubled, Ye Mingshang quietly walked over, looked at the soundly sleeping Joan with indifference, and raised his hand to give two sharp slaps.
Joan sat up immediately, first looking a bit dazed before seeing the indifferent Ye Mingshang and the shocked Old Ma with his mouth agape. He was about to smile politely when he suddenly felt a stinging pain on both sides of his face.
"It's time to get to work," Ye Mingshang said as he turned to leave.
"Okay! Master!" Upon hearing there was work to do, Joan jumped up immediately and was about to follow out when he noticed Old Ma looking shocked and asked curiously, "Old Ma, what's wrong? Are you paralyzed?"
"Uh... it's nothing, my tooth hurts."
"Oh~ Hurry up! The master has already gone far." Joan replied and ran out, leaving Old Ma looking bewildered.
"This... this Senior Brother Ye is indeed extraordinary..." With a sigh, Old Ma also chased after them.
As they stepped outside, the village chief happened to come over, and the group headed towards the square together.
Under the command of Ye Mingshang, everyone mixed various materials together and set up a large pot to boil.
"Wow! It smells terrible!"
"It's worse than a latrine, it's so unbearable!"
"Don't exaggerate, is a latrine really that bad?"
...
As the mixture heated up, an indescribable stench wafted through the air with the steam. Many people covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, but it did little to help.
Ye Mingshang's expression was not pleasant either; his sense of smell was much more sensitive than average, making the odor feel even stronger. If it weren't for his strong will, he might have already vomited.
He ordered someone to bring a mop, using it as a brush to draw talismans with the mixture.
"Gather the Five Thunder Generals, let the electric pen light gather. One to protect life, another to bind evil spirits; all shall flee, and I shall attain immortality. Urgent Order." As he recited the incantation, the mop glowed with golden light, revealing a Daoist aura.
The incantation served to awaken the brush before drawing talismans, greatly enhancing their power.
With the 'brush' in hand and stepping through the Seven Star Step, Ye Mingshang moved gracefully as mysterious runes began to appear. As he continued his movements, the talisman formation became increasingly intricate and clear, while the foul odor in the air gradually faded.
Whether turning or jumping, Ye Mingshang wielded the brush like a spear, his movements elegant yet imposing. It was as if he were dancing; even the less cultured farmers watched in awe.
"Master is so cool! Drawing a talisman looks so impressive. I want to be that cool too!" Joan couldn't help but exclaim, imagining herself dancing within the formation.
The formation was quite complex, with beautiful lines full of mysterious colors nearly filling the entire square. After about an hour, the formation was finally complete. At this point, even Ye Mingshang had broken out in a fine sweat from his efforts.
Then, under his arrangement, the eight young people stood at different positions in the formation.
"Master, is the formation ready?" Joan asked curiously.
"One step away," Ye Mingshang replied with indifference.
"One step away?"
"Yes, we still need a pair of young boys and girls as bait."
"Ah?! We need children!" Joan exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right. If that monster is a Zombie, it is likely either injured or trying to break through. Otherwise, it wouldn't require a large amount of fresh blood. Although it might be avoiding complications by only drinking animal blood, the effectiveness of animal blood is limited, which is why its appetite keeps increasing. But this is not a solution; given its current consumption, it has likely reached a critical point where it needs to eat humans."
Ye Mingshang narrowed his eyes. "Human blood, especially that of children, is most effective for it. If the young boys and girls are related by blood, especially if they are Dragon and Phoenix Twins, its power will surely increase significantly."
"If it were normal circumstances, it might still be restrained, but under the influence of my formation, it will be unable to resist temptation and will choose to take risks. After all, if it succeeds in injuring itself, its wounds will heal; if it breaks through, it can evolve into a Flying Zombie in no time. At that point, there will be very few who can deal with it, and Zombies are extremely difficult to kill. Unless there is a significant disparity in strength, even if one cannot defeat it, they can still escape."
This time, Ye Mingshang, who usually spoke little, patiently explained a lot.
