The Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram, both in its writing and recitation, is entirely about Zhong Kui. Even the images within it depict the true form of Zhong Kui, making it a rare magical artifact with immense power against ghosts and monsters.
If it were just ordinary Wandering Spirits and Wild Ghosts, even the golden characters within could easily annihilate them, scattering their souls.
However, at this moment, Grandma Jiang unexpectedly threw the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram directly at Mu Yan. It was clear that Mu Yan's actions had thoroughly enraged her, to the point where she momentarily forgot about the terrifying presence of Mu Emperor and whether he would retaliate.
As Zhong Kui's true form emerged from the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram, stepping into the void to pursue Mu Yan, the Judge's Brush in hand began to descend, causing Mao Guoxue to gasp in shock.
Originally, he intended to stop Mu Yan after she broke free from her restraints to attack Grandma Jiang. He never expected Grandma Jiang to act so recklessly and decisively by throwing out the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram.
Even with Mu Yan's strength as a Ghost King, she would likely be unable to withstand the power of the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram this time.
Mao Guoxue grew anxious, while Mao Shiba and Mingyue stood by, equally shocked by Grandma Jiang's actions.
But they had no time to react or intervene.
Only Mao Guoxue dared not hesitate. Seeing the Judge's Brush in Zhong Kui's hand about to fall, he immediately shot out two beams of golden light from his hands, launching two copper coins that struck the floating Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram in mid-air.
Instantly, the brilliant light dimmed, and the diagram showed signs of descending.
Even the condensed form of Zhong Kui darkened slightly and paused for a moment.
It was this brief pause that alleviated Mu Yan's crisis and allowed Mao Shiba and Mingyue, along with Mao Guoxue, to breathe a sigh of relief.
Although Mu Yan was furious at this moment, she also sensed the danger. Without hesitation, she took advantage of this brief moment of stillness to swiftly dodge aside, maintaining a safe distance from Zhong Kui's phantom while staring at him with fear in her eyes.
Although this Zhong Kui is not the true Zhong Kui, it is clearly imbued with spirit; otherwise, it would not have emerged from the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram.
At this moment, seeing Mao Guoxue obstructing his attempt to slay the evil spirit, he seemed to be filled with anger. Without Grandma Jiang's control, the Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram, floating in the void and struck by two copper coins from Mao Guoxue, suddenly burst forth with golden light, even more dazzling than before.
Mao Guoxue and Mingyue were somewhat bewildered, merely frowning slightly.
As for Jin Zhongyun, who leaned against the wall in despair, there was no need to say more.
However, upon witnessing this, both Mao Guoxue and Grandma Jiang's expressions changed dramatically. Grandma Jiang's gaze turned towards the golden figure of Zhong Kui in the void.
Mao Guoxue looked at Grandma Jiang with a grim expression and said, "Grandma Jiang, if you don't stop now, do you really want to face the wrath of a Demon Emperor?"
Grandma Jiang gazed in awe at the golden figure in the void—a man with a leopard head and piercing eyes—and couldn't help but shake her head gently. "It's not me who is controlling it; it's you who has angered Zhong Kui the Great."
"I have angered Zhong Kui the Great?"
Grandma Jiang's words left Mao Guoxue momentarily stunned as he turned his gaze back to the golden figure in the void.
Coincidentally, at that moment, Zhong Kui's gaze fell upon Mao Guoxue, exuding an overwhelming pressure that hinted at anger.
Mao Guoxue was taken aback; that pressure instantly bore down upon him.
Without daring to hesitate, Mao Guoxue's expression became solemn as he focused on the blindingly bright Zhong Kui in the void. He quickly explained respectfully, "Zhong Kui the Great, I am a disciple of Nine Veins from the Spear Clan. I had no intention of offending you. It is merely that this female ghost has a special identity and bears no malice; she has not committed any wrongdoing. The reason she has offended us is due to circumstances beyond her control. Seeing that you wished to slay her, I acted out of urgency to intervene. I hope for your understanding."
After speaking, Mao Guoxue deeply bowed towards the void and waited quietly.
Before them, Zhong Kui, though not a real person, possessed a spirit that demanded respect, which was why Mao Guoxue and Grandma Jiang were so startled.
After a moment of silent waiting, the figure of Zhong Kui in the void did not respond, but the intense pressure began to dissipate, and the radiant light grew dimmer.
Only then did Mao Guoxue and Grandma Jiang breathe a sigh of relief. In the distance, Mao Shiba and Mingyue also seemed to understand the situation better and finally relaxed.
Moments later, as the golden light faded, the leopard-headed Zhong Kui the Great vanished from sight. The Tianyan Huigui Hunting Diagram slowly descended from the void, ultimately landing in Grandma Jiang's hands.
"Mu Yan, although Grandma Jiang was at fault first, if you remain obstinate and harbor ill intentions, even if you are the Ghost King, I will not spare you," Mao Guoxue said solemnly as he looked toward Mu Yan.
"Lin Hao is dead."
Mu Yan paid no heed to what Mao Guoxue had said; instead, he merely gazed at him with a calm expression and asked with a slight tremor in his voice.
"Ah."
Mao Guoxue let out a faint sigh but remained silent.
However, his silence only led Mu Yan to believe that Lin Hao was truly dead.
His gaze turned cold, and a murderous intent surged within him.
Suddenly, Mu Yan let out a piercing scream, an aura of rage enveloping him as he shot down from midair like a bolt of lightning.
But this time her target was not Grandma Jiang, but Jin Zhongyun. In the blink of an eye, her figure had already rushed to Jin Zhongyun's side, unleashing an angry and sorrowful shout as she grabbed Jin Zhongyun's shoulders and shot out like lightning.
Her sharp nails pierced through Jin Zhongyun's skin, leaving a few drops of blood on the spot.
Seeing this, Mingyue immediately dashed out but did not utter a word.
Although Jin Zhongyun admitted to having struck Lin Hao with a stone, rendering him unconscious, Lin Hao was not dead; he simply could not speak of it in front of Grandma Jiang.
However, it was only natural for Mu Yan to take action against Jin Zhongyun after learning that Lin Hao had died because of her.
As Mingyue had already chased after them, Mao Guoxue sighed and shook his head slightly. He glanced at Grandma Jiang and said, "Grandma Jiang, we've brought Xiao Juan back for you. Take good care of her. I need to go out and see that Mu Yan doesn't harm anyone else, adding to the bloodshed."
"Mao Shiba, please help me look after Xiao Juan. I want to see if that brat Lin Hao is really dead," Grandma Jiang said before even waiting for Mao Shiba's response; she had already run out of the courtyard.
In an instant, the once noisy courtyard fell silent.
Only Mao Shiba remained, along with Xiao Juan, who lay unconscious on the ground.
