Ye Xiu decided to use the obstacles around him to escape from the clutches of the Daoist.
As he ran, Ye Xiu suddenly spotted the forest park ahead. Utilizing the slope and trees of the park, he could buy himself some time.
With that thought, Ye Xiu increased his speed once more.
However, the Daoist behind him continued to pursue relentlessly, and the distance between them did not widen!
The Yellow Robed Daoist reached out a hand, ready to seize Ye Xiu's shoulder.
Just as he was about to fall into the demon's grasp, an unknown ghost suddenly charged out, clawing at both the Yellow Robed Daoist and Ye Xiu.
The ghost glared fiercely at them for a moment, deciding that Ye Xiu was the easier target. It flew toward him, but the Yellow Robed Daoist had already lunged forward, crushing the ghost with his demonic grip and tearing it apart!
This was good; at least it bought Ye Xiu a little time.
Ahead were the steps. If the Yellow Robed Daoist wasn't agile enough, he would be safe.
The Daoist, with his blood-red eyes from tearing apart the ghost, charged forward again.
Ye Xiu moved with exceptional agility at full speed, leaping over a dozen steps effortlessly. Like a wild goose in flight, before he even landed completely, he sprang up again. Compared to running on flat ground, his speed had noticeably increased.
Feeling a rush of luck, Ye Xiu glanced back.
To his shock, a terrifying face emanating dark energy loomed right before him!
It was only an arm's length away; his heart felt as if it were gripped by that large hand—fearful and panicked.
The Daoist reached out and knocked Ye Xiu down.
In that instant as they both fell forward, the air rippled like a drop disturbing the calm surface of a lake, and an invisible barrier appeared.
However, the two of them passed through the barrier!
An unimpeded barrier!
After falling to the ground, the Yellow Robed Daoist did not get up. Ye Xiu pushed him aside and noticed that the Daoist had returned to his original appearance, the dark aura around him dissipated.
Ye Xiu began to study the barrier and suddenly discovered a shadow on the other side, emanating a dark aura!
The shadow stood completely still, like a puppet.
After about a few minutes, the Yellow Robed Daoist woke up. Upon seeing Ye Xiu beside him, he immediately drew his Peach Wood Sword and assumed a fighting stance.
"I have no enmity with you; why are you so intent on pursuing me?" Ye Xiu said with a wry smile.
"I have no enmity with you; why are you blocking me?" the Yellow Robed Daoist retorted.
"Look, what is that thing?" Ye Xiu pointed at the shadow outside the barrier.
The Yellow Robed Daoist looked over, first frowning deeply, then gradually becoming excited.
"This! How is this possible!" the Yellow Robed Daoist exclaimed in delight.
"What... is going on? Just now, you were possessed by it, right?"
"That's a long story," the Daoist replied, taking out a Black Jade Box from his yellow cloth bag. Through the barrier, the Black Jade Box actually absorbed the shadow inside it. After securing it, the Daoist placed the box back and turned to stare at Ye Xiu.
Suddenly, the Yellow Robed Daoist rushed towards Ye Xiu!
Ye Xiu immediately assumed a defensive posture but was taken aback when the Daoist warmly grabbed his hand and kept thanking him.
"Big man..." Ye Xiu pushed Daoist aside.
"No need to thank me, brother! Just tell me what you want!" Daoist patted his chest.
"I..." Ye Xiu scratched his head.
"What’s going on with you? Is it convenient to talk? You can’t just let me take a beating for nothing, right?" Ye Xiu touched the wound on his arm.
"Uh... let's sit down and talk slowly."
"My name is Ye Xiu, without any sect or affiliation."
"I'm Ji Tongzhou, also without any sect or affiliation."
"Someone with skills like Ji Daozhang is also without a sect?"
"Brother Ye, you’re quite young yet have such abilities; aren’t you also without a sect?"
"Haha, I only found out a few months ago that there are people like Cultivators in this world."
Upon hearing this, Ji Tongzhou couldn't help but feel admiration: "In just a few short months, Brother Ye has reached such a level! You've truly expanded my understanding!"
Ye Xiu smiled: "Hehe... it's only been two months..."
"A rare talent indeed!"
"I can’t take that title. I have a friend who went from sensing Spiritual Source to reaching my level in no time; that’s truly a rare talent."
Ye Xiu was naturally referring to Qian Jinyu.
"Ji Tongzhou" was speechless with fear. "This..."
"Alright, Ji Daozhang, if you possess such skills, why resort to deception?"
"Ah, this matter goes back to the beginning. Many years ago, I joined several sects, but I was not valued, so I retreated to the mountains to study a spell. At that time, my brother was by my side. Unfortunately, one of my experiments with the spell failed, causing a collapse in the mountains and releasing malevolent energy. My brother died because of that spell. As the caster, I was unharmed, but after his death, he became a malevolent spirit attached to me. I tried many methods to separate him but to no avail, so I ventured out to seek guidance from a master."
"Unexpectedly, when I first arrived in the city, the malevolent spirit fully manifested within me. I lost control and harmed many people. Fortunately, a Great Power nearby managed to stop me and sealed the malevolent spirit within me, giving me that Black Jade Box. He told me that the seal wouldn't last long and that if I could separate from the spirit, I should seal it in the box to render it harmless. After that, the Great Power left, and though I was temporarily safe, I couldn't survive in the city; there was nothing for me to do. What could a mountain sorcerer like me accomplish? I went to various sects but found no refuge. So I came to this town, pondering what I could do."
"When I first arrived in the town, I saw Evil Spirits everywhere. Coincidentally, a family had invited a Taoist priest dressed like me. I followed him and saw him perform a few tricks for that family; they rewarded him handsomely. At that moment, I needed money too, so I thought about using money to ward off disasters."
"The first time I encountered someone possessed by a demon was quite shocking. After I expelled the Demon from its true form, that family treated me like an immortal and rewarded me generously. Then I went to another place—the one where I met you—where a woman seemed possessed. Upon closer inspection, there were no Evil Spirits; she was merely overly frightened. I could cure her with just a Spirit-Settling Talisman immediately. However, her family might mistake me for one of those temple priests if they saw me like that, so I released a ghost... As you saw afterward, when I noticed you all coming in and wanted no trouble, I only took one talisman and left. Who would have thought you would chase after me?"
"Haha... Ji Daozhang, it turns out this was all a misunderstanding; this doesn't count as deceiving for money."
Ji Tongzhou shook his head. "Not at all. Not at all."
"Then may I ask why Ji Daozhang needs so much wealth?" Ye Xiu inquired.
