Ding Ying's eyes brimmed with tears as she repeatedly bowed to Wei Qiuxi, pleading, "Liu Linglang is a good friend of Wei Ning. Grandfather, for Wei Ning's sake, please spare her life. I'm begging you."
Wei Qiuxi's face turned ashen, completely ignoring Ding Ying's pleas. He took out the last black tortoise seal and declared loudly, "Beigong Xuanwu seals you..."
Suddenly, a red light flashed in the air, illuminating the entire room with a fiery glow that made the Underworld seem as bright as a sunset. A clear and crisp sound of the Phoenix Song echoed, and the red light gradually transformed into nine fiery phoenixes soaring through the air. A voice rang out, commanding, "Nine Phoenixes soar. Purge the filth in all directions. Celestial beings guide, let all impurities swiftly depart." In a flash, Wang Tuozi appeared, swiftly forming hand seals while chanting incantations.
The Nine Phoenixes circled in the air before suddenly bursting into song, releasing nine streams of immense flames that instantly evaporated the azure Earth Spirit Barrier. Liu Linglang felt an abrupt decrease in gravity; with a wave of her hand, she knocked down two Soul Fixation rods that had been pinned against her chest.
Wei Qiuxi was furious at his failed attempt and shouted, "Wang Chuyi, why are you sabotaging my formation?"
Wang Tuozi replied loudly, "Liu Linglang is a treasure of the earth; how can you seal her here? Don't you think that's a waste?"
Wei Qiuxi sneered, "I see you're concerned about this Evil Spirit being sealed. Wang Chuyi, have you truly forgotten the sins you committed back then?"
Wang Tuozi sighed deeply and said, "Wei Qiuxi, we are old friends. You should know my character well. The Wei Family has dwindled over the years; you're the only one who still commands my respect."
Wei Qiuxi retorted, "If that's the case, what are you waiting for? To avoid repeating past mistakes, why not help me seal this Evil Spirit?"
Wang Tuozi slowly shook his head.
Wei Qiuxi raised his voice, "What do you intend to do?"
Wang Tuozi remained silent. Wei Qiuxi continued, "Back then, I trusted you completely and entrusted Wei Ning to you along with this Drought Demon Essence. I intended for you to extract something from it to refine Wei Ning. Who would have thought you'd harbor ulterior motives and combine the Drought Demon Essence with the Infant Spirit of the Four Pillars of Complete Yin to create such an Evil Spirit? Don't you realize that because this Evil Spirit has been intertwined with the Drought Demon Essence for so long, it has become even more terrifying than what you originally forged? When the Drought Corpse emerges, it will bring devastation for miles around. Have you forgotten how horrific it was back then?"
Wang Tuozi's eyes shimmered with unshed tears as he took a deep breath and said, "I have not forgotten, not for a moment."
Wei Qiuxi coldly replied, "Isn't that girl from Dragon Tiger Mountain Lin Changjing's daughter? To have your son, grandson, and great-granddaughter all hunting you down, you must have truly reached the end of your days."
The corners of Wang Tuozi's mouth twitched slightly, revealing traces of tears. Years ago, when the Wang family was exterminated, only Xue Cai survived. From then on, Xue Cai joined Dragon Tiger Mountain, changing his name and dedicating his life to hunting me down. I am indeed the eternal sinner of the Wang family, but how could Xue Cai know that I had long since died to atone for my sins? Yet I cannot die; dying is easy, but living is hard. Xue Cai mistakenly believes I am enamored with the mortal world and has held a grudge against me until his death. He even established a family rule that all his descendants must kill me, Wang Chuyi. Changjing has entangled me for forty years, and now it is Lin's turn. Fate plays its cruel tricks.
"Then why don't you just end it all? That would resolve your descendants' obsession."
Wang Tuozi was taken aback by the suggestion and suddenly pointed at the unconscious Liu Linglang on the ground, exclaiming loudly, "I do not die because I am waiting for him! To untie the bell, one must find the bell ringer. Years ago, I created the Drought Corpse and harmed my entire family. Today, I will create another Drought Corpse to save my Wang family."
Wei Qiuxi shook his head and said, "Old Wang, you are too extreme. Don't you realize that once the Drought Corpse is unleashed, this world will lose a hundred thousand Sentient Beings? Your Wang family members are human; are those hundred thousand Sentient Beings not?"
Wang Tuozi coldly replied, "To kill ten thousand people to save one from my Wang family—what does it matter to me? As long as I can fulfill my wish after a hundred years, I care not for eighteen layers of hell or endless suffering. As long as it covers me, Wang Tuozi, I am who I am! What I want to do cannot be stopped by anyone!"
Wei Qiuxi sighed and said loudly, "Old Wang, think carefully. This act of reversing fate is truly unnatural. Do you think using the Drought Corpse can bring back a spirit that has been dead for a hundred years?"
"One must try to know," Wang Tuozi replied without further comment. His hands moved in unison with the incantation as Nine Phoenixes circled above him, their clear sounds resembling a nine-stringed instrument.
Wang Chuyi stepped forward into the realm of shadows; his clothes billowed without wind as he declared loudly, "Wei Qiuxi, I respect you as a person, but with your less than a hundred years of cultivation, fighting me would be like striking a stone with an egg. I advise you to leave quickly and not obstruct my path."
Wei Qiuxi stepped into the Bagua stance of Wen Wang and proclaimed loudly, "Who wins and who loses will be determined in battle! For the sake of all living beings, Old Wang, forgive me!" With those words spoken, green energy surged from his palm as mist enveloped him. A Red Umbrella materialized in his hand, shielding him like an Immortal.
Wang Tuozi produced seven Yama Talismans—six gold and one black—holding them in his right hand while igniting Gold Paper with his left hand using a thunder seal. With a loud bang reminiscent of the Corpse Driving Conference from years past, he began to invoke the Manufacturing the Seven Souls Technique and shouted: "Where are the corpse dogs! Where are the arrows! Where are the sparrows! Where are the thieves! Where are the poisons! Where are the purifiers! Where are the foul lungs!"
But there was only silence, and the magnificent scene of the Beast Gate, which the Daughter had once controlled, did not reappear. Wang Tuozi's expression changed three times as he said, "You have set up a barrier here."
Wei Qiuxi chuckled and said loudly, "That's right. If it weren't for my ancestor setting up the Six Yin and Six Path Method of Blessing here, prohibiting all Forbidden Techniques, how could I have countered eighty percent of Liu Linglang's abilities and nearly captured him?"
The Six Yin and Six Path Method of Blessing is somewhat similar to the Jade Maiden's reverse closure technique from Dragon Tiger Mountain, but Zhu You's method is far more sophisticated. The Jade Maiden's technique specifically targets spells, while the Six Yin and Six Path Method is aimed at Forbidden Techniques. This explains why Wang Tuozi could use Nine Phoenixes to cleanse but could not employ Forbidden Techniques.
Seeing that the Wei Family's ancestor meant: "Brothers, I have left you something. As long as a master breaks in, I can seal their Forbidden Techniques. If you can't even defeat those who can't use Forbidden Techniques, then there's no need for you to go out; just stay here with me."
