"You are quite impressive, but humans and ghosts are different. If you don't accomplish what you set out to do while alive, what good does it do to complete it as a ghost?" Xiao Yefeng said calmly, facing the storm of blade energy.
"Stop pretending. Humans are merely the lowest existence; only by becoming a ghost can one attain immortality!" Wang San shouted as the Ghost Head Blade was already within reach.
At this moment, the two faced each other in combat. Wang San's Ghost Head Blade was closing in, while Xiao Yefeng remained motionless, continuously murmuring an incantation that no one could hear. It seemed he was doomed, but if Wang San had been more observant, he would have noticed the Ghost Mist above Xiao Yefeng's head and the clouds in the sky gradually thinning, revealing the bright moon that had been obscured from the start.
"Die!" The blade struck at Xiao Yefeng's forehead. With a furious roar, Wang San suddenly accelerated his attack, delivering a fierce blow to Xiao Yefeng's head. Following that, nine more Ghost Head Blades descended like wheels, crushing Xiao Yefeng into the ground and turning the area into a large pit.
However, after the strike, Wang San realized that the soul he expected to see did not appear. Just then, Xiao Yefeng's voice echoed: "Baoyun Palace - Moonlight Spell - Light Reflection Substitute Talisman!"
Indeed, as Xiao Yefeng's voice rang out, his fallen form transformed into a wisp of Azure Smoke and vanished. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng reappeared beside Wang San. Wang San raised his hand to grab him, but in an instant, Xiao Yefeng turned into another wisp of Azure Smoke and disappeared again.
"Playing tricks? I thought you, as a Geomancer, couldn't use talismans!" Wang San exclaimed as he held ten Ghost Head Blades in his hands. After looking around and realizing that Xiao Yefeng had vanished, he suddenly understood that he had unknowingly fallen into Xiao Yefeng's illusion.
Indeed, Xiao Yefeng had been preparing this large Illusion Array from the very beginning. However, the moonlight had not appeared until Zitong showed up at that moment when Xiao Yefeng finally managed to catch a glimpse of it. The Moonlight Spell was finally completed. Within this Moonlight Spell, Xiao Yefeng was confident that Wang San was already trapped.
As for Wang San, he felt fear creeping in. The talismans of a Geomancer were the most feared things by ghosts. Unbeknownst to him, he had fallen into this Geomancer's Illusion Array. Based on experience, being pulled into an Illusion Array meant that the Geomancer intended to capture him. Although he had escaped from the Illusion Array three times and even counterattacked against the Geomancer, Wang San remained tense.
However, Wang San was also waiting for that moment when Xiao Yefeng would attempt to capture him because in the previous three encounters, he had seized those openings. This time he was prepared as well. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng was less than five meters in front of Wang San. Sitting cross-legged on the ground with Seven Star Needles surrounding the Bagua Mirror to lock onto the moonlight within Liao Kong, the light refracted by the Bagua Mirror held Wang San in place. Yet at this moment, Xiao Yefeng could not move; any movement would break the formation. If the Illusion Array dissipated, Xiao Yefeng dared not confront the Demon General directly—especially since he currently lacked any effective weapons.
Now there was only one way to capture Wang San: defeat him within the duration of the Moonlight Spell. In this illusion created by the Moonlight Spell, one by one, the substitutes drawn by Xiao Yefeng were shattered by Wang San's strikes. However, at this moment, Wang San was stepping deeper into the trap laid by Xiao Yefeng. His Ghost Body was slowly approaching the Bagua Mirror, which meant that his Ghost Head Blade was also inching closer to Xiao Yefeng. There could be no mistakes; otherwise, if Wang San awakened Three Pure Ones with a single strike, he could easily kill Xiao Yefeng.
Finally came the last step; once Wang San took this step forward, he would reach above the Bagua Mirror. At this moment, moonlight shone upon the Bagua Mirror with seven stars guarding it—neither Demon General nor ghost king dared face its brilliance directly.
At that moment, the figure of Wang San in the illusion suddenly stopped, staring at the last illusion of Xiao Yefeng before him, who surprisingly did not make a move. Wang San said, "Haha, you really are impressive, much stronger than those three guys before. I understand now; you are trying to lure me in. I won't fall for it!"
At this point, Xiao Yefeng was truly at his wit's end, especially as the rain clouds drifted back into the sky, about to obscure the moonlight. If the moonlight disappeared, Xiao Yefeng would completely lose. Suddenly, he opened his eyes; he had been fighting with his eyes closed all along because his Tricolor Yin-Yang Eye allowed him to see through his eyelids. He had forgotten that he had not actually opened his eyes.
As Xiao Yefeng opened his eyes, the three-colored Yin-Yang Eye spun rapidly like a wheel. Suddenly, the illusion vanished. Before Wang San could feel joy, he was pulled back into an illusion by Xiao Yefeng's eyes. In an instant of distraction, he stepped forward, and a beam of light pinned Wang San's Ghost Body in place. The Bagua Mirror and the bright moon formed a golden light column, while Wang San's Ghost Body moved restlessly above it but could not escape its golden glow.
At that moment, a blank talisman paper that had remained still beside Xiao Yefeng suddenly rose and slowly floated into the golden light column. Amidst Wang San's wails and curses, the Yellow Talisman stuck to his forehead. Wang San then transformed into a wisp of Azure Smoke that floated onto the Yellow Talisman. On the blank Yellow Talisman Paper appeared a large character for Pardon, beneath which emerged a fierce ghostly figure—the image of Wang San sealed within the Yellow Talisman.
The Yellow Talisman then slowly descended and finally landed in Xiao Yefeng's hand. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng let out a long sigh; indeed, a Demon General Level Evil Spirit was not easy to deal with. He lay in the wilderness, continuously recalling the battles he had fought. Each scene was thrilling and heart-pounding; however, while he lamented the difficulty of dealing with Demon Generals, he was unaware that other Geomancers found it challenging to easily defeat even Earthbound Spirits.
After all, the category of Geomancers was too broad; there were very few who specialized in ghost-catching techniques. Moreover, after numerous calamities throughout history, many practices in Huaxia had become neglected over time. The Xiao Family's comprehensive inheritance was achieved through generations of sacrifices from their successors.
Picking up the fallen Spirit Talisman and examining it closely, Xiao Yefeng realized that this Spirit Talisman was likely a type recorded in his memory called Sealing Talisman. It transformed False Spiritual Power into True Spiritual Power, which could only be crafted by practitioners who had mastered True Spiritual Power into primal spiritual energy. In this era where even True Spiritual Power was rarely successfully converted, such a Spirit Talisman was incredibly valuable.
Furthermore, this Spirit Talisman was a one-time use item; once it sealed a spirit, it became worthless paper to others and could only be used again by its creator. Thus, even though Xiao Yefeng held it in his hands, it seemed useless to him. However, at that moment, he saw the Sealing Talisman transform into specks of starlight and vanish into the night sky. Observing such an unusual disappearance made Xiao Yefeng feel compelled to look inward at his Spirit Platform.
Sure enough, within the Spirit Platform, the Sealing Talisman gradually coalesced and adhered to the door that had appeared alongside it. Although surprised by the elusive nature of the Sealing Talisman, Xiao Yefeng had grown accustomed to it; after all, given his current abilities, ordinary people would likely describe him as elusive as well.
With a wave of his hand, the Black Gold Spirit Banner slowly descended. Grabbing it firmly, Xiao Yefeng brushed across its surface once more. Zitong's head popped out from within the banner again; this time she wasn't holding her Bright Silver Spear but instead was chewing on a lollipop—her ghostly appearance looking quite adorable.
"Let's go Zitong; let's check out what useful things we can find at Bamboo House!" With that said, Xiao Yefeng walked away while Zitong twirled around him with her lollipop in mouth. Their chase with Wang San had taken them far from Bamboo House; having Zitong's company made it less boring despite their odd pairing of one person and one ghost.
Upon returning to Bamboo House, they found that Talangtai's lifeless body and Cui's ghost had already floated out. Under Xiao Yefeng's Yin-Yang Eye, they were completely exposed. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng remained with his eyes open; his three-colored pupils resembled a kaleidoscope as he watched two ghosts separate from their entangled struggle. He thought about capturing these two ghosts into his Spirit Platform later since Talangtai clearly seemed like trouble—he likely had blood on his hands and might help alleviate some of Xiao Yefeng's Yin Sin burdens.
However, Xiao Yefeng did not expect that as soon as he had a fleeting thought, the three-colored pupils in his eyes swirled like a vortex, directly pulling the two new ghosts into his gaze. They then appeared on the Spirit Platform, beneath the Sealing Talisman. Suddenly, the calm door emitted a flash of light, and the dark deeds of Cui and Talangtai unexpectedly surfaced in Xiao Yefeng's mind.
New ghost Talangtai had a negative virtue value of thirty-seven, while new ghost Wu Cuicui had a negative virtue value of three. Upon seeing this information, Xiao Yefeng was stunned. What kind of ghosts were these? Could the door on the Spirit Platform display information about souls like the Book of Life and Death?
Just then, on the Spirit Platform, the strange door suddenly opened, and both the Sealing Talisman and the two new ghosts were drawn away. At that moment, a familiar Aura reappeared; indeed, that Cheap Brother showed up again.
"Not bad, not bad! Not only did you capture Wang San, but these two new ghosts are also guilty spirits that can help reduce your Yin Sin. Let's see, Wang San has one hundred seventy sins, Talangtai thirty-seven sins, and Wu Cuicui three sins. Good! I will erase two hundred ten Yin Sin for you. Make sure to perform well!"
After saying this, Cheap Brother was about to leave when Xiao Yefeng could not let him go so easily. He immediately spoke up: "Big brother! I have something to ask!"
"Huh? What's going on?" The white light flickered back and forth through the gap in the door.
Next, Xiao Yefeng brought Zhang Chuanhai and Utu, along with Zitong from the Black Gold Spirit Banner, onto the Spirit Platform. Upon seeing Zhang Chuanhai and Utu, Cheap Brother said: "Zhang Chuanhai's earthly ties have come to an end. After fulfilling his last wish, he can return to Yin Si with me. As for Utu, his body cannot rest in peace after death. You need to help him out by retrieving his body for burial; once that's done, he can return to Yin Si together with Zhang Chuanhai."
However, when Xiao Yefeng pulled Zitong from the Black Gold Spirit Banner into the Spirit Platform, he clearly saw a flash of white light. Although Cheap Brother concealed it well, Xiao Yefeng still detected surprise in his tone.
