Although the fierce battle had ended, there were still remnants to deal with. The subordinates of Jiao Zhi Hong lying on the ground needed to be sent to the hospital for treatment, and the damaged items from the fight required repairs.
Of course, Jiao Zhi Hong had already arranged all of this. What I needed to do now was to guide the Undead here; it was a great opportunity for cultivation.
I took out the Longevity Lamp from my belongings, lit it, and placed it at the spot where Lin Ziran had just fought against the horde of monsters. That area had the most dead beasts, and naturally, there were also the most Undead that needed to be guided.
I cleared a space and sat in front of the Longevity Lamp, bringing my hands together in prayer and reciting the Buddhist Scriptures for the Departed with a solemn expression: “All Things Have Spirits, All Things Have Souls. All Things Have Fate, All Lives Have an End. Do Not Be Attached to the Mortal World. Born in the Mortal Realm, Return to the Underworld. All Things Have Causes, In the Next Life, There Will Be Consequences. Namo Amitabha Buddha!”
I repeated the Sutra over and over again, my mind free of distractions, completely unaware of what was happening outside. The flame of the Longevity Lamp gradually emitted a green glow, and eleven souls of beasts along with the Soul of a figure in a black robe quietly floated around me.
“Lin Daozhang, what is Jiang Ling doing over there?” Jiao Zhi Hong asked as she accompanied Lin Ziran. She was drawn to my actions and looked at me with confusion; since she hadn’t activated her Wisdom Eye, she couldn’t see the Undead.
“He is guiding the Undead that died here!” Lin Ziran replied calmly. He gazed at the Undead surrounding me with flickering eyes. Instead of causing trouble again, he quietly observed.
After watching for a while, Lin Ziran suddenly spoke to Jiao Zhi Hong beside him: “Jiao Zhi Hong, I’m going back to Maoshan to cultivate! We may not meet again for a long time!”
Lin Ziran could tell that Jiao Zhi Hong had feelings for him. However, during this journey down the mountain, he encountered many insurmountable challenges and met numerous powerful seniors. He realized that there were always stronger people out there and that he wasn’t strong enough yet; thus, he decided to return to Maoshan for further cultivation.
“Lin Daozhang, are you really leaving?” Jiao Zhi Hong looked at Lin Ziran with reluctance in her eyes. When she saw his determined expression, she sighed and reached out to hold his arm gently, asking softly: “Lin Daozhang, after you return to Maoshan, can I come visit you?”
Lin Ziran’s body trembled slightly; he could sense that Jiao Zhi Hong truly cared for him. Having cultivated Daoist Arts in Maoshan, he was not familiar with matters of love between men and women. He looked into Jiao Zhi Hong’s eyes with a complex expression and nodded: “Of course you can come visit me!”
“Stay here tonight; I’ll personally send you back to Maoshan tomorrow!” Upon hearing Lin Ziran’s response, a happy smile appeared on Jiao Zhi Hong’s face. She firmly took his hand and led him towards her villa without caring about the gazes of those around them.
Jiao Zhi Hong’s subordinates watched their departing figures in shock, as if they were seeing another side of Jiao Zhi Hong.
“I didn’t expect our boss to have such a gentle side; how come we never noticed it before?”
“Looks like Boss Horn and Lin Daozhang might be starting something!”
The followers of Jiao Zhi Hong murmured among themselves before returning to their tasks, while I remained unaware of the scene unfolding outside.
"Finally done with the exorcism!" I saw the flame of the Longevity Lamp return to its normal state from green, indicating that all the Undead had reported to the Underworld. I stopped reciting the Rebirth Mantra Sutra.
To my delight, I felt a surge of Buddhist Power within me, sensing a change in my Dantian, which filled me with a sense of accomplishment.
"Hey? Where's Lin Ziran?" I put away the Longevity Lamp and stood up, intending to show off to Lin Ziran. However, as I scanned my surroundings, I realized I couldn't see Lin Ziran anywhere.
"Master Jiang, Lin Daozhang has already returned to Maoshan! I'm Xiao; the boss asked me to take care of your accommodation for tonight!" At that moment, I noticed one of Jiao Zhi Hong's subordinates standing behind me. He was the same person I had saved from the Walking Corpse earlier. In truth, Xiao didn't speak entirely honestly; he didn't dare to tell the truth and instead told a kind-hearted lie.
"Lin Ziran is so inconsiderate! Not even a word before leaving! We fought together after all!" I pouted and muttered to myself. Since I had saved Xiao's life, he treated me very well and kept smiling. He escorted me to a high-end hotel before bidding farewell.
"I'm exhausted!" After taking a shower in my room, I lay on the bed and played with my phone for a while. Browsing through the news, I discovered that discussions about Wang Xinyu were intensifying online, reaching a level where it seemed like everyone was talking about it.
Additionally, the authorities finally took action; the police had intervened in the investigation and were collecting evidence against Wang Xinyu. Wang Xinyu himself had been summoned to the police station to assist with inquiries. The outcome of the situation would take some time to be announced.
"I hope the law punishes Wang Xinyu severely and gives Zhao Mingyue justice!" I thought to myself as I turned off my phone and prepared for sleep.
After spending time with Lin Ziran, I realized he wasn't a bad person. His actions against the Ninefold Grudge Infant stemmed from his sense of responsibility. If I had been passing by at that moment, I would have made the same choice as Lin Ziran. Thus, I no longer held any resentment towards him. Hopefully, when we meet again, we can become good brothers.
Meanwhile, Yu Yuanhang chased after the black Blood-Sucking Worms until he reached a villa on the outskirts. There was a large empty space surrounding it, and it seemed odd that such a solitary villa stood there.
The villa was shrouded in darkness as Yu Yuanhang stood at its entrance, feeling an overwhelming aura of evil emanating from within. Frowning deeply, he disliked this atmosphere and contemplated whether or not to enter.
"Friend, since you're here, come in for a cup of tea before you leave!" A chilling voice echoed from inside the villa, sending shivers down his spine. Suddenly, the villa's door swung open on its own, and lights illuminated every corner inside.
Strangely enough, the evil aura that had filled the villa vanished as if it had never existed.
"I don't like tea; bring me a pot of good wine!" Yu Yuanhang responded loudly without hesitation as he stepped into the villa. Confident in his own abilities, he was unafraid of any potential ambush inside.
Yu Yuanhang walked into the villa's hall and saw a figure seated there, cloaked entirely in black robes. Only a pair of pale, slender hands were visible. If I were here, I would definitely recognize this person as the one who had rendered my Daoist Magic useless.
"You are the Evil Insect Master!" Yu Yuanhang said, sitting down in front of the figure, his tone calm yet firm.
The figure in the black robe nodded slightly, letting out a light laugh. "I've heard rumors that a great demon guards this area. It must be you."
"You know this is my territory, yet you dare to extend your hand here! Are you not afraid of death?" Yu Yuanhang's eyes glinted with murderous intent, his aura fluctuating as he prepared for a fight.
The Evil Insect Master felt the pressure emanating from Yu Yuanhang but showed no sign of fear. Instead, he spoke calmly, "There’s no need for hostility! I merely wish to ask if you would consider joining us at the Ten Thousand Evil Hall."
"Ten Thousand Evil Hall?" Yu Yuanhang's gaze flickered momentarily but quickly returned to normal. He stood up and declared, "I have no interest in joining your Ten Thousand Evil Hall. Do not extend your claws into my territory again! Otherwise, next time I won't be so polite!"
With that, Yu Yuanhang turned and walked outside. Behind him, the Evil Insect Master's voice echoed, "This year at the Ghost Festival, we at the Ten Thousand Evil Hall will break the situation on Spirit Ghost Street. I hope you will reconsider after witnessing it! The doors of Ten Thousand Evil Hall will always be open for you!"
"With your Ten Thousand Evil Hall, you think you can change the dynamics of Spirit Ghost Street? You're truly daydreaming!" Yu Yuanhang replied without looking back, his tone filled with disdain. His figure flickered and soon vanished into the night.
"Daydreaming? Ha! Let us wait and see!" The Evil Insect Master laughed maniacally as he watched Yu Yuanhang leave. Just as his laughter faded, the villa's door slammed shut with a loud bang, extinguishing the lights inside and plunging the surroundings into silence once more. The sinister aura surged back into existence.
