Wang Xinyu stared intently at the newcomer. The man appeared to be in his twenties, handsome in a way, dressed in a blue Daoist robe. He held a Dust Whisk in one hand and carried an ancient sword on his back, exuding an ethereal aura, like a transcendent being.
"I am Lin Ziran, the Eighty-Seventh Generation Disciple of Maoshan, with the Daoist name Jikong. Since I am here, you can rest assured; I will not let this vile creature harm you!" Lin Ziran confidently addressed Wang Xinyu. He took out a talisman and affixed it to Wang Xinyu's chest, chanting incantations while continuously forming Hand Seals with his left hand.
"Soul has form, spirit has body, soul and spirit return to their place, calming the mind and settling the soul! Lingling, Earth Spirit, Supreme Old Lord, hasten as commanded! Calming Charm, decree!"
Once Lin Ziran finished reciting the incantation, the talisman surged into Wang Xinyu's body, expelling the Grievance within him. Wang Xinyu felt a reduction in his fear as his emotions gradually calmed.
"Thank you, Master Lin!" Wang Xinyu exclaimed excitedly as he sensed the changes within him and immediately bowed in gratitude.
Lin Ziran helped Wang Xinyu to his feet and said, "Just stand aside and watch; I will handle this vile creature!"
After ensuring Wang Xinyu was safe, Lin Ziran turned his attention to the Ninefold Grudge Infant before him.
"Stinky Taoist, this matter has nothing to do with you; step aside! I have no desire to kill indiscriminately!" The Ninefold Grudge Infant looked at Lin Ziran with some trepidation. He could sense the danger emanating from Lin Ziran and did not wish to become his enemy.
Seeing the Ninefold Grudge Infant's demeanor, Lin Ziran felt a moment of pity. However, upon noticing the three skeletons on the ground, that flicker of compassion vanished entirely.
"Ninefold Grudge Infant, you have lived nine lives without being human. I acknowledge your great misfortune, but now that you have committed murder, I cannot let you go!" Lin Ziran had merely passed by when he sensed the Grievance here and came to take a look; he never expected to find the Ninefold Grudge Infant killing.
"I offer you two choices: one is to return with me to Maoshan. As long as you are willing to stay in our sealed land at Maoshan, I will not make things difficult for you." Lin Ziran spoke calmly as he observed the Ninefold Grudge Infant's expression but found it unyielding. A glint of determination flashed in Lin Ziran's eyes as he continued, "The other choice is for me to eliminate you right now to prevent further harm to humanity."
An astonishing aura radiated from Lin Ziran as he fixed his gaze on the Ninefold Grudge Infant and asked, "Ninefold Grudge Infant, which path will you choose?"
The Ninefold Grudge Infant was not intimidated by Lin Ziran's presence; he resolutely shook his head and said, "I only want to kill him. As long as I can kill him, do as you wish with me!"
Wang Xinyu felt a chill run down his spine under the Ninefold Grudge Infant's gaze. Gritting his teeth, he shouted at Lin Ziran, "Master Lin, this Ninefold Grudge Infant has killed someone; you cannot let him off so easily. A life for a life!"
Hearing Wang Xinyu's words, the aura around the Ninefold Grudge Infant became even more volatile. He lunged forward, brandishing a red bellyband towards Wang Xinyu while shouting, "Bad person, I will kill you!"
Wang Xinyu was momentarily stunned by the overwhelming bloodthirst emanating from the approaching figure. He kept retreating, realizing he was about to be ensnared by the red bellyband. Just then, Lin Ziran finally took action.
"Since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to intervene!" Lin Ziran shouted, using his Dust Whisk to grab the red bellyband from the Ninefold Grudge Infant's hands. With a powerful flick, he sent both the Ninefold Grudge Infant and the bellyband flying to the side.
Lin Ziran pulled out a stack of talismans and scattered them into the air. He quickly bowed in all directions, sincerely declaring, "Eighty-Seventh Generation Disciple of Maoshan, Jikong, seeks to uphold justice and eradicate Evil Spirits. I hereby inform all ancestors and humbly request your witness; grant me power to vanquish this demon!"
Once Lin Ziran finished speaking, his expression turned solemn and inviolable, and his aura intensified further. With a sweep of his Dust Whisk, he gathered several talismans from the air and hurled them at the Ninefold Grudge Infant.
"Lingling, Earth Spirit, Supreme Old Lord, heed my command! Command!"
As he recited the incantation, the talismans on the Dust Whisk ignited spontaneously. The entire Dust Whisk was enveloped in flames as it sped towards the Ninefold Grudge Infant.
"Why are you helping that bad person? I won't accept this!" The Ninefold Grudge Infant roared as he saw the flames approaching. His Grievance surged violently, transforming into a grotesque ghostly face that opened its mouth wide, attempting to swallow Lin Ziran's Dust Whisk.
Lin Ziran frowned. Instead of confronting the ghostly face head-on, he flicked his wrist, sending a burst of fire from the Dust Whisk that struck the ghostly face and shattered a large portion of it. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Ziran retracted his Dust Whisk and stepped back a few paces. The Ninefold Grudge Infant let out a furious roar as he controlled the remnants of the ghostly face and lunged again.
"Beast, do not be so arrogant!" Lin Ziran's expression turned cold as he gathered more talismans and employed the same technique once more against the ghostly face.
At this moment, Chuxiubin and I had arrived outside the Black Market Hospital. Following the trail of Grievance, we were unsure of the exact location of the Ninefold Grudge Infant. I noticed Chuxiubin with his eyes closed, sensing for Blood-Sucking Worms while I anxiously stood by.
"Lele is right below us; let's go!" Chuxiubin opened his eyes and quickly headed down to the next level with me closely following behind.
"Lele, you must not kill anyone!" I thought to myself as my pace quickened.
In the basement, the battle between Ninefold Grudge Infant and Lin Ziran was nearing its end. At that moment, Lin Ziran stood pale in front of Wang Xinyu, his Daoist Robe torn with several gashes. A long wound marred his chest, inflicted by Ninefold Grudge Infant, blood pouring out and staining his once green Daoist Robe a deep red. His original Dust Whisk had been shattered into pieces by Ninefold Grudge Infant, and now he held only his ancient sword.
The situation for Ninefold Grudge Infant was even more dire; half of his body had been destroyed by Lin Ziran, and the two heads on either side of his neck had been severed by Lin Ziran's ancient sword. Now, Ninefold Grudge Infant was barely clinging to life, yet he glared resentfully at Wang Xinyu behind Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran coughed weakly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He drove his ancient sword into Ninefold Grudge Infant's body and spoke coldly, "Ninefold Grudge Infant, do you regret coming to this point?"
"I regret it! I truly regret not killing Wang Xinyu! I am so unwilling!" Ninefold Grudge Infant roared loudly, controlling the last remnants of his Grievance as he lunged toward Wang Xinyu, attempting to kill her.
"Demon, even at death's door, you still do not awaken. Watch as I destroy you!" Lin Ziran formed a Hand Seal and shattered Ninefold Grudge Infant's Grievance. He sat on the ground and scattered a talisman over Ninefold Grudge Infant while chanting incantations.
"Evil Spirits of the world, return to dust. Separation Fire transform your body; let the dust settle! Lingling, Earth Spirit. Supreme Old Lord, heed my command! Command!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the talismans on Ninefold Grudge Infant ignited without flame, engulfing his body in fire that burned fiercely.
"Ah! I am unwilling!" Ninefold Grudge Infant screamed in agony, struggling against the flames consuming him but unable to free himself from the ancient sword pinned to him.
Just as I stepped into the basement, I witnessed this scene unfold before me. Anger surged within me as I shouted at Lin Ziran, "What are you doing!"
