In response, the Eastern Deity readily agreed, lifting the seal and heading to Huaxia. Indeed, back then, the Eastern Deity stirred up quite a storm in Huaxia Martial Arts. The various sects united against a common enemy, entangled with the Eastern Deity for many years, ultimately managing to defeat it. They initially intended to eradicate the Eastern Deity completely, but the deity was extremely cunning, using a technique to escape. Although it did not completely dismantle Huaxia Martial Arts, it severely weakened them, forcing them into seclusion to recover. The Islanders also fulfilled their promise, constructing a shrine for the Eastern Deity in Hokkaido to honor it.
During its time in Huaxia, the Eastern Deity was also gravely weakened and chose to hide within the shrine, secretly cultivating its strength. While the Eastern Deity managed to escape, the group of Onmyoji and martial arts masters from the Island Nation that followed it were not so fortunate; they were almost entirely eradicated in Huaxia. For Huaxia Martial Arts, any foreign invasion of their land must be met with punishment.
Yo Yinan had been following closely behind the Eastern Deity. After its defeat and escape, he reacted quickly and fled immediately. Although he was gravely injured, he managed to escape by sheer luck; however, due to his severe wounds, he succumbed shortly after being returned home. After Yo Yinan's death, his body was taken by the Eastern Deity, which used his lingering resentment to forge a Vengeful Spirit servant that would serve it.
After a century of cultivation, Yo Yinan's Vengeful Spirit grew increasingly powerful. With the help of the Eastern Deity, he reconstructed his body; however, this body was merely a skeleton. To truly become a living being again would require a lengthy process. The first step involved marrying a woman born at a time opposite to his own. The existence of a Vengeful Spirit defied the natural order—when one dies, their essence dissipates. By marrying a specific woman, he could harness her essence to deceive the laws of heaven and earth.
However, that night proved unfortunate for Yo Yinan. He had finally found a suitable bride only to have his plans disrupted by Jiang Chen. Now, his newly formed body had been cleaved in two by Jiang Chen's attack. Once again transformed into his Vengeful Spirit form, he twisted in midair, his black hole-like eyes glaring at Jiang Chen.
"Bastard! You dare destroy my body? I will kill you!" Yo Yinan shouted angrily. Although his form had long since become skeletal, he had preserved it well; he never expected that just as he had attached himself to it, it would be destroyed—how could he not be furious?
Takeda Kyoko quickly translated Yo Yinan's words for Jiang Chen. Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen waved his hand again, sending forth streaks of azure light that shredded Yo Yinan's skeletal form into pieces—truly reducing it to fragments that could hardly be reassembled.
Yo Yinan was infuriated and surged toward Jiang Chen like a rolling wave of malice. Jiang Chen casually formed a Spirit Fire seal with one hand in midair; instantly, flames erupted like a dragon and collided with the wave of malice. The malice was immediately engulfed by the Spirit Fire and burned fiercely.
The Vengeful Spirit felt no pain but sensed its life force waning. Fearing light and fire, being consumed by Spirit Fire became unbearable for him quickly.
"Spare me! Put out the fire! I was wrong!" Yo Yinan wailed.
Seeing that Yo Yinan was about to be burned alive by the raging flames brought a smile to Takeda Kyoko's face as she said, "You don't need to shout; Mr. Jiang is Huaxia People and doesn't understand our Island Language. If you want mercy, plead in Huaxia Language."
"Miss Takeda! Please help me convey my plea! I can't take it anymore!" Yo Yinan begged desperately.
