Lin Lingsu couldn't help but touch her cheek, the scar there a mark of her lifelong humiliation, and the one who brought her this disgrace now stood before her.
"Beast! Even if you didn't come to find me, I would still seek you out!" Lin Lingsu's eyes burned with resentment as she abandoned Wang Chuyi. The light of the Seven Star Sword in her hand blazed brightly as she aimed it down at Wu Haozi.
"Good, good, good! You arrived just in time. Help me hold this girl down while I finish my spell, and then we can settle things," Wang Tuozi said, his face breaking into a smile. Wu Haozi truly had come at the right moment. Ignoring Lin Lingsu, he focused his mind and began to chant.
Black resentment began to coalesce again. Wang Chuyi cast a new spell, the black talisman glowing with golden light, made from the finest Yama Paper. The talisman silently burned in the darkness, growing brighter and brighter until—"Bang!"—Wang Chuyi stepped forward. It seemed he had triggered some mechanism as the talisman split into seven pieces, each landing on one of the seven energy points he had set up days earlier.
The ground trembled ominously, shaking as if it were alive, and the cold wind howled more fiercely.
"Boom!" The Six Harmonies Seal crashed down on Wu Haozi's head. He was plunged into the earth as the seal expanded suddenly, rising like a mountain and pinning him beneath it. Lin Lingsu clearly hated Wu Haozi to the core; she continuously reinforced her spell while casting a glance at Wang Tuozi, who was surrounded by countless crisscrossing cracks appearing in the ground beneath him.
With a loud thud, a skeletal arm without flesh suddenly shot out from the opening in the ground!
"Is it you?" Wang Chuyi shouted. "I’ve come to save you!" His heart raced as the winds howled around him, seeming to echo his call.
"Damn it!" Lin Lingsu cursed under her breath, having no choice but to lift the Six Harmonies Seal and smash it down toward that skeletal arm.
"Boom!" Another loud sound echoed as the bones were driven back into the earth.
"You!" Wang Tuozi pointed an accusing finger at Lin Lingsu, his voice filled with rage.
At that moment, Wu Haozi surged upward, his hands darting toward Lin Lingsu. She was already dizzy from the stench emanating from his decaying body; her movements felt sluggish compared to usual. Though she was not afraid of Wu Haozi himself, she recoiled from the foul maggots crawling over him. She sidestepped quickly and thrust her Seven Star Sword into one side of Wu Haozi's corpse.
Clang! Wu Haozi did not flinch; the sword couldn't pierce him at all. Instead, he grabbed the blade and forcefully pushed it back toward Lin Lingsu, pressing the hilt against her chest. The backlash sent her stumbling back three steps, a sweet taste filling her mouth as she suffered internal injuries.
Before Lin Lingsu could steady herself, Wu Haozi's claw was already reaching for her face. She paled in fear; if he caught her with those fingers, her face would be ruined.
Fortunately, Mengmeng had lifted the Six Harmonies Seal and slammed it down onto Wu Haozi once more.
Wu Haozi was driven back into the ground again.
Lin Lingsu found herself at a disadvantage but remained stubbornly determined not to relent. With a mask of frost covering her face and gritting her teeth in resolve, she suddenly pulled out a piece of wood about four inches square with a dragon spiraling around it on top.
Even Wang Chuyi, who was fully focused on his spellcasting, gasped in shock upon seeing this object: "Dragon's Surprise Jujube Wood! Where did you get this?!"
"Mind your own business!" Lin Lingsu shouted, "Mengmeng!"
Mengmeng raised the Six Harmonies Seal, while Lin Lingsu tossed the Dragon's Surprise Jujube Wood into the air. The two objects met and began to spin rapidly in midair, emitting sparks like lightning striking.
"Bang!" The two collided, merging into one!
"The Human Emperor Seal!" Wang Tuozi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, it's the item that will capture your soul!" Lin Lingsu shouted, the Human Emperor Seal shining brilliantly as it continuously devoured the dark energy, suspended above like a blazing sun.
"Lin Lingsu!" Wu Haozi screeched, darting toward Lin Lingsu like a bolt of lightning.
Lin Lingsu cast a spell with a flourish and shouted, "Swift!"
"Boom!" The golden light pinned Wu Haozi down, causing half of his body to tremble within the radiance, yet the resentment in his eyes did not diminish.
"You overestimate yourself!" Lin Lingsu coldly retorted, conjuring three swords that shot toward Wang Chuyi with a whoosh.
Wang Chuyi's seven beasts raised their heads and swallowed the three swords. Seeing how difficult Lin Lingsu was to deal with, Wang Chuyi felt a surge of urgency. He couldn't afford to hesitate any longer and suddenly stomped his feet seven times.
Suddenly, a long laugh echoed as a figure approached swiftly. "Wang Laoge, are you in trouble?"
Wang Chuyi's face lit up upon seeing the newcomer. "Wei, my younger brother, come help me."
The newcomer frowned and said, "Entangled by a girl? Wang Laoge, you are too lenient."
"Just hold him down for me; everything will be fine."
He shares the surname Wei? Lin Lingsu's heart jolted as she felt something stir deep within her. She coldly regarded the newcomer and asked, "Who are you?"
"Well, I am the grandfather of that useless Wei Ning whom you beat so badly he couldn't find his teeth," the newcomer replied nonchalantly.
"Grandfather of Wei Ning," Lin Lingsu's heart nearly leaped into her throat. Why was he here? And where was Wei Ning?
"Alright, this beast has my Wei Family's Soul-Eating Doll on him. I tracked him all the way here, only to find you two grandparent and grandchild entangled in battle."
Wei Ning's grandfather, Lin Lingsu, was in a state of panic, his thoughts completely disrupted by Wei Ning. He clearly did not hear Wei Qiuxi referring to them as 'grandparent and grandchild.'
"Enough chit-chat, help me subdue her."
"You deal with Wei Xian Gui, and I'll help you refine this formation."
Wang Chuyi nodded and said, "Deal."
Lin Lingsu coldly replied, "Don't you know what he's doing? If he successfully refines this formation, there will be a catastrophe in the Southwest. Are you really going to assist him?"
Wei Qiuxi chuckled softly and said, "All I know is that he is willing to help me deal with the person I need to confront, and that's enough for me."
"You!" Lin Lingsu clearly did not expect Wei Qiuxi to be so selfish. He nodded and said, "Well, I didn't expect Wei Ning to have a grandfather like you..."
As soon as Lin Lingsu mentioned Wei Ning, a flicker of anger flashed in Wei Qiuxi's eyes. He replied coolly, "Fine. I think it's time to settle the score between my useless grandson and your Dragon Tiger Mountain."
At that moment, Wang Chuyi was once again forming seals for his spell. The air was filled with Evil Energy, and the cracks between the mountains grew larger. The howling of countless Vengeful Spirits echoed through the air.
