I was surprised to see the Eerie Aura appear before me, but I did not give Lin Junpeng a chance to reassemble his soul.
I secretly mobilized the Daoist Magic within me, concentrating a strand of it onto my right hand. At that moment, I quickly cast several Spells while chanting, "Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods! Supreme Three Pure Ones, lend me your Divine Power to exterminate the ghostly spirits! Daoist Seal, eradicate evil and ghosts, bring peace! Daoist Sect's Breaking Illusion Seal, command!"
As soon as my words fell, a dazzling white light shot from the palm of my right hand. A glint of killing intent flashed in my eyes as I unhesitatingly directed the light towards Lin Junpeng's soul.
Lin Junpeng's soul was still in the process of forming; at that moment, he was merely a mass of ordinary Eerie Aura with no Cultivation. Thus, my Daoist Sect palm technique directly shattered Lin Junpeng's soul into pieces.
"I want to see what secrets lie hidden here." After extinguishing Lin Junpeng's soul once more, I hurriedly searched through the third floor of the tavern.
Fortunately, there were only six luxurious private rooms on this floor. I carefully searched each room and soon discovered the truth behind why Lin Junpeng's soul could continuously revive.
In the innermost room, I saw two strange Paper Men. These Paper Men were clearly made from yellow paper burned for the deceased, yet their appearances were lifelike, resembling Lin Junpeng and Wei Penghui exactly.
I approached the Paper Man that looked very much like Lin Junpeng and noticed a chilling Eerie Aura emanating from within it, drifting towards the outside of the room. Following the direction of that Eerie Aura, I found that many more Eerie Auras had gathered in the center of the third floor and were in the process of reassembling Lin Junpeng's soul.
Seeing this scene before me, I suddenly understood. I touched my ear and said, "So that's how it is. Now I realize that Lin Junpeng and Wei Penghui are not true ghosts; they are merely evil spirits. No wonder they can keep reviving."
Evil spirits are a peculiar existence; they gain intelligence due to certain special reasons and become true evil spirits.
The two Paper Men before me were made from yellow paper used for the deceased, making them prone to gathering Eerie Energy. Additionally, someone had deliberately made their appearances too lifelike, resulting in the current Paper Spirits.
Of course, these Paper Spirits are quite different from Wang Hongtao's Paper Puppets. For instance, evil spirits cannot reincarnate in the Underworld. Moreover, there is a significant flaw: although Lin Junpeng and Wei Penghui's souls may seem indestructible, as long as the true forms of the Paper Spirits are destroyed, Lin Junpeng and Wei Penghui will naturally dissipate and will not revive again.
I was quite familiar with this flaw of the evil spirit, so I once again summoned the Taoist Magic within me. With my left hand, I quickly cast a spell, my expression serious as I chanted, "Ultimate Earth, Mystical Arts Have Methods! Supreme Three Pure Ones, lend me Divine Power to exterminate the ghostly spirits! Daoist Seal, eradicate evil and eliminate ghosts, bring peace! Daoist Sect's Breaking Illusion Seal, command!"
As soon as my words fell, a burst of White Dao Light erupted from my right palm. I rushed towards the Paper Spirit representing Lin Junpeng's soul and raised my hand to strike at the evil spirit.
"Bang~~" A light sound echoed before me as the Paper Spirit representing Lin Junpeng was instantly pierced through by my attack. I had thought that such a Paper Spirit would be quite sturdy, but it didn't even withstand a single blow. I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
My principle has always been to take advantage of weakness and eliminate threats completely. For safety's sake, I threw a few more punches at the Paper Spirit until it was reduced to a pile of fragments before finally stopping my assault.
"Ah, Stinky Taoist, how dare you destroy my ghostly form! I will kill you!" At that moment, Lin Junpeng, who had been gathering his ghostly body, suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at me fiercely, clawing his way towards me.
Lin Junpeng's soul body had not fully recovered. Since I had destroyed the Paper Spirit, the Eerie Aura surrounding him also dissipated. Although Lin Junpeng woke up prematurely, he was in no condition to deal with even a Century Ghost.
After sensing Lin Junpeng's aura, I glanced at him disdainfully and then directly punched him on the head, sending his soul scattering. However, this time Lin Junpeng would not have another chance to revive.
With my experience against the Paper Spirit, I did not hesitate any longer and swiftly eliminated Wei Penghui's Paper Spirit as well. The moment Wei Penghui's Paper Spirit was destroyed, he trembled while fighting against the female ghost; his eyes were filled with an unusual bloodshot hue.
"How could this happen? Am I really going to die here?" Wei Penghui muttered darkly. He tried to withdraw from the battle, but his body grew weaker by the moment; even that female ghost could finish him off in an instant now.
"Hmph! You dare hit me and still think you can escape? Dream on! Stinky man, you better stay right here!" Seeing Wei Penghui attempt to flee, the female ghost quickly positioned herself in front of him. In her hand was an Eerie Aura dagger that she swiftly swung towards Wei Penghui.
There was no suspense in the outcome; Wei Penghui ultimately fell to the female ghost's attack. However, the old man who was battling Liu Zhenxian sneered at this scene and said disdainfully, "Heh heh, you people truly are clueless. You’re so happy just because you've taken down two Trash Fish. Just wait for more surprises ahead! Heh heh, old man won't play with you any longer."
With that, the elder from the Ten Thousand Evil Hall unleashed a fierce move that temporarily repelled Liu Zhenxian before swaying his body and jumping off the balcony of the second floor of the hotel.
Liu Zhenxian rushed to the balcony window and glanced down, discovering that the old man had jumped from a great height, yet he appeared unscathed. Even more audaciously, the old man turned back, flashed a provocative gesture at Liu Zhenxian, and then quickly donned a black robe, swaying his body before disappearing into the darkness once more.
"This old man is too bold; it seems trying to kill him will be quite troublesome," Liu Zhenxian muttered helplessly, shaking his head as he assessed the direction in which the old man had fled. Without hesitation, he leaped from the second floor of the tavern and pursued the old man's trail.
