A few minutes later, Hou Libang arrived with the villagers, holding torches they had made themselves, illuminating the surroundings and revealing the nearby scene.
Among them were two new students who had enrolled alongside Wang Yan. Upon seeing Wang Yan's lifeless body, their eyes turned red with grief. They rushed to Wang Yan's side, cradling the bodies and crying out, "Wang Yan, Wu Pingchuan, Jiang Fuguo, wake up! Don't lie there! Open your eyes and look at us!"
As they touched Wang Yan's body, they felt no warmth. Despite having guessed the outcome, they could not bring themselves to accept it. They held onto Wang Yan's body tightly, unwilling to let go.
The onlookers felt a pang of sorrow at this scene. Some of the more sensitive individuals had reddened eyes, tears welling up in their gaze.
Seeing this unfold before me, I couldn't help but sigh and shake my head. I spoke loudly, "Death is irreversible; let us mourn in peace. We have more important matters to attend to."
"Jiang Ling, three of our brothers are dead! What are you talking about?" The new students turned to me with expressions filled with discontent.
Ignoring their hostile glares, I walked over to a nearby pit and pointed at the pile of bones at the bottom. My tone was cold as I said, "Look at this situation. In these deep mountains, there are more dead than just Wang Yan and the others. Our enemies are still lurking in the shadows. If we don't come up with a plan quickly, we may continue to lose lives."
Though my tone was icy, these people were not foolish. They approached the pit after hearing my words.
Earlier, they had been focused on Wang Yan's body and hadn't paid much attention to the pit nearby. Even the foul stench of decay in the air had slipped their minds. Now that they stood before the pit and saw the pile of bones and severed limbs below, their faces darkened instantly.
Hou Libang clenched his fists tightly, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes as he angrily declared, "Who is so cruel as to kill so many people? If I find them, I'll make sure they can't take care of themselves!"
The new students around me stood silently, heads bowed slightly, unsure of what to do next. They had come to investigate the unusual appearance of wild boars in these mountains; even at their most dangerous, they never expected it would lead to fatalities.
Now not only had three of their own died, but a gruesome sight of corpses lay before them—a heavy blow to their mental state.
However, the fact that these people were able to participate in the Night Operation indicated that their mental fortitude was quite strong. Although they had experienced confusion in their hearts, they quickly regained their composure. They exchanged glances with one another before turning to me, and someone spoke up, "Jiang Ling, you understand the current situation best, and you are the calmest among us. You should take on the role of our temporary leader, and we will all cooperate with your actions."
Hou Libang stepped forward, looking unusually serious as he met my gaze. He nodded and said, "Jiang Ling, whatever you decide to do, I will follow your lead. We are all listening to you."
I was somewhat surprised as I looked at the people in front of me. In fact, we had previously elected a temporary leader when we began our operation—our team captain.
The person chosen as captain was either well-informed and capable of easily locating Baishan Village or possessed exceptional skills and strong survival abilities in the wild, ensuring our safety during our time outdoors. Each individual selected was an expert in their respective field.
Given the current situation involving both the yin and yang realms, I was indeed the most suitable person for this role. I did not decline; instead, I scanned the faces around me and nodded firmly, my expression serious as I said, "Rest assured, as long as I still draw breath, I will lead everyone safely out of this area."
At my words, the newcomers nodded in agreement without voicing any objections. The situation had already exceeded our capabilities; our original plan had to be abandoned. All we needed to do was relay information from here, and military personnel would come to handle it.
Hou Libang looked into my eyes and asked, "Jiang Ling, what should we do now?"
I furrowed my brow and turned towards Wang Yan's body. The first thing that needed addressing was the three corpses of Wang Yan and his companions. Although I had extinguished their souls, I could not guarantee that those mysterious individuals had not left behind other traps. Therefore, the best course of action was to incinerate all three bodies to prevent any future troubles.
However, when I saw the two fellow students of Wang Yan's lying there, I felt a pang of reluctance. I shook my head helplessly and approached Wang Yan's body. Biting my fingertip, I quickly began inscribing talismans in my left palm.
My expression grew serious as I infused Daoist Magic into the talisman while chanting aloud: "Supreme Three Pure Ones, Limitless Magic! Tower Suppressing Demons, divine incantation to extinguish ghosts! Corpse-Born Evil Spirit, stiff yet not hard! Divine incantation to drive away evil; Corpse Spirit return to rest! Lingling, Earth Spirit, Supreme Old Lord heed my urgent command! Corpse Binding Spell, command!"
As soon as my words fell silent, a blinding white light radiated from the talisman in my palm. Without changing my expression, I raised my left hand and swiftly struck down onto Wang Yan's body.
"Hehehe~~ Hahaha~~" As my palm struck down, the light from the corpse-binding spell surged through Wang Yan's body. Three fist-sized black Eerie Auras erupted from their Spirit Covers with a wailing sound before darting directly toward my head.
"Hmph, Evil Spirits, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me. Be destroyed!" I scoffed coldly, quickly raising my right hand and sweeping it across, directly scattering the three clusters of Eerie Aura.
After a while, I had eliminated a total of nine clusters of Eerie Aura, finally clearing away Wang Yan and the others' bodies. I let out a long breath, stood up from the ground, turned to the crowd before me, and said, "Brothers, to be honest with you, we are now dealing with a group of mages who can cast Evil Spells. Although your skills are impressive, ordinary methods won't work against them. Once it gets bright, you all need to leave immediately and spread the word. I'll stay behind to hold them off."
