"What's wrong? Do you really think a Geomancer can compare their physical abilities to you Martial Arts Cultivators? A Geomancer's body improves by absorbing Earth Spirit Energy, and that's already stronger than an ordinary person's!" Xiao Yefeng said.
"Come on! Don't act all high and mighty. Just based on how you dodged earlier, it's clear you're not just an ordinary Martial Arts Cultivator. There are hardly any Martial Arts Cultivators under Mingjing who can evade my grasp!" Mo Fei scoffed.
As they ate and chatted, Xiao Yefeng's Golden Cyan Yin-Yang Eye remained in an uncontrolled state, constantly activated. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed something unusual about Mo Fei's backpack, and suddenly felt a wave of Evil Qi emanating from it.
"Hey, Fei! Your bag is radiating a heavy aura of death!" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed.
Mo Fei paused in surprise at Xiao Yefeng's words before responding, "Oh! I almost forgot. This is from the President; someone delivered it last night."
With that, Mo Fei rummaged through his backpack and pulled out a large brown paper bag. When Xiao Yefeng took the bag, he noticed that it was sealed with a Talisman. Sealing Talismans are meant to contain malevolent energy, so normally this bag shouldn't release any at all. How could he sense it?
After some thought, Xiao Yefeng realized it must be due to his strange Tricolor Yin-Yang Eye. He understood what had happened after he fainted last night, but as long as it was useful, it justified the five spirit stones he had spent.
Upon breaking the seal, Xiao Yefeng found a Black Banner and a stack of documents inside. As soon as he touched the Black Banner, he felt Zhang Chuanhai's ghost stir within the Spirit Platform. The slumbering Zhang Chuanhai suddenly awoke, sensing that his body was calling for him.
"Wind this!"
"Brother Zhang, your Life Banner!"
The two exchanged surprised remarks. Finally, with his body shielding him, Xiao Yefeng retrieved the Black Banner from the bag. Mo Fei, sitting across from him, naturally saw the Black Banner as well. Being no ordinary person himself, he had some knowledge in this area. After cautiously inspecting the Black Banner, Mo Fei remarked, "Hiss~ Isn't this a Soul Banner used for rituals? Why does it look like this?"
"This isn't an ordinary Soul Banner; it's my friend's Life Banner. It was captured by a Geomancer who has turned to the Demonic Path. After I caught him for various reasons, National Security took him away. I originally planned to retrieve it yesterday but forgot due to delays! Thankfully you brought it back for me," Xiao Yefeng explained.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng noticed a string of missed calls on his phone. Clearly, Ji Min had tried to contact him yesterday. He hadn't realized his phone had died and missed her call; unexpectedly, she had delivered it to the Metaphysics Society.
"That night, you and the people from the third year caught Yuan Xun?" Mo Fei looked at Xiao Yefeng with a puzzled expression.
"That's right!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Wow, I didn't realize the new faction had put a bounty on you!" Mo Fei said cautiously.
"Bounty? What do you mean?" Xiao Yefeng asked.
"Yuan Xun is an old fox that the Metaphysics Society has been after for years. However, Yuan Xun is part of the new faction. You heard it last night; the new faction is the dark force of the entire East. Yuan Xun is a key member of this new faction. Now that Yuan Xun has been captured, it has alarmed the entire Eastern dark force. The new faction has offered ten spirit stones for anyone who kills or captures Yuan Xun, and fifty spirit stones for recovering Yuan Xun's belongings. Do you know what kind of items are worth that much?" Mo Fei explained.
"Ten spirit stones? Am I really worth that much?" Xiao Yefeng chuckled.
"Who knows? You need to be careful. Although China seems calm on the surface, we are not safe at all," Mo Fei warned.
"Don't worry!" Xiao Yefeng assured him.
As Xiao Yefeng pulled out the documents, he found that it was indeed information about Jin Ling, and it was first-hand information up to last night. Flipping to the last entry, both Xiao Yefeng and Zhang Chuanhai were shocked because the last page contained a printed photo showing that Jin Ling was currently hospitalized and in critical condition.
Neurogenic coma, persistent vegetative state! In other words, she was in a vegetative state and could not be awakened no matter what. This caused great pain to Zhang Chuanhai. Xiao Yefeng and Zhang Chuanhai shared a deep connection; after all, Xiao Yefeng was the master of this Spirit Tamer. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng felt an overwhelming sense of love emanating from Zhang Chuanhai. In his heart, he said to Zhang Chuanhai: "Brother Zhang! She isn't a good person! You—"
"Feng, I love her. I believe she didn't do it on purpose!" Zhang Chuanhai declared firmly.
"Alright then! I understand," Xiao Yefeng replied.
"Wanda Township?" Xiao Yefeng looked at Jin Ling's hospital address in surprise, and Mo Fei was equally taken aback. Then he said, "Isn't that the village you were planning to visit?"
"Yes! What a coincidence!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
At that moment, Zhang Chuanhai also felt a sense of relief. He knew that Xiao Yefeng had matters to attend to and understood that Xiao Yefeng had likely intended to change his plans to meet Jin Ling first. He never expected that the two locations would be so close together.
After a brief chat with Mo Fei, who hurriedly left to complete his mission, it was said that he was heading to a beautiful place filled with beaches and ocean views. Enchanted by the thought, Mo Fei boarded a plane ahead of schedule.
Xiao Yefeng carefully examined the mission details and found something odd. According to the mission rank, it was classified as a B-level task, which meant it could be accepted by those at the second stage of Mingjing or at the beginner level of Inner Force. However, among the first three geomancers, two were beginners while one, like himself, was a Peak of Bright Strength geomancer—and none had returned.
Upon reviewing the current status of the three individuals, Xiao Yefeng was astonished to discover that they were all in the same hospital as Jin Ling and exhibited identical symptoms. This was fortuitous; Xiao Yefeng realized he could address four comatose patients in one go.
After reviewing the information, Xiao Yefeng destroyed all the documents. He then emptied his bag of its last few items: a dark red identification card and a badge featuring celestial symbols on one side and a large character for "mystery" on the other. The identification card allowed Xiao Yefeng to carry certain controlled items, while the badge confirmed his affiliation with the Metaphysics Society.
Glancing at these two items, Xiao Yefeng tossed them into his backpack. For him, they were mostly useless; however, the identification card proved somewhat beneficial since it spared him from worrying about issues related to the Seven Star Needle.
With Mo Fei gone, Xiao Yefeng had some time to complete Zhang Chuanhai's soul gathering. Fortunately, it wasn't yet time for his appointment. He returned to his room, drew the curtains tightly, and sat cross-legged on the bed. At that moment, Zhang Chuanhai had already emerged from Xiao Yefeng's Spirit Platform and was looking gravely at both Xiao Yefeng and the Black Banner in his hand.
"Dry Mountain Left Turn Kan Soul, return to your place!" He silently recited the spell and pointed at the Black Soul Banner. A stream of golden cyan Qi shot from Xiao Yefeng's fingertips straight toward the palm-sized Soul Banner.
Suddenly, the black-gold Soul Banner stood upright on its own. The Black Banner fluttered without wind, creating an eerie gust that seemed intent on pulling Zhang Chuanhai's soul away. Zhang Chuanhai struggled fiercely against it as black chains wrapped around one of Xiao Yefeng's arms.
"What is happening with this wind?" Zhang Chuanhai shouted while trying to resist the powerful gusts.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng did not respond but declared, "Halt! If you do not submit, today shall be the day of your demise!"
Unbeknownst to others, Xiao Yefeng, with his peculiar Yin-Yang Eye, saw that within the palm-sized Black Gold Soul Banner was a ghost. This nameless chill in the air was being manipulated by it. Beneath the ghost's feet lay another Zhang Chuanhai, but this Zhang Chuanhai's soul was nearly transparent and extremely stiff, resembling a corpse.
Clearly, this ghost must be the spirit of the Black Gold Soul Banner or a ghost that had long resided within it; otherwise, it could not control the Soul Banner without a master. When Xiao Yefeng shouted, the ghost trembled slightly but refused to release its grip on Zhang Chuanhai's Fate Soul. At that moment, a ghostly mist enveloped the area, and the palm-sized Soul Banner suddenly lifted into the air, employing an illusion.
Xiao Yefeng found himself once again ensnared in the illusion set by the ghost. In the vast wilderness, a towering Black Gold Soul Banner stood erect against the wind while Xiao Yefeng appeared as weak as an ant beneath it.
"Ha ha ha! Daoist! Do you wish to capture me as well?" A vague voice echoed from all directions. If Xiao Yefeng felt even a hint of fear or trepidation at this moment, he would be completely suppressed. He knew he must harbor no emotions; although this ghost was formidable, people often fell victim to their own fears. In the illusion created by the ghost, the more afraid one became, the more dangerous it was.
All of his fears and anxieties would manifest in this space. The more he thought about them, the more terrified he became; fear led to chaotic thoughts and ultimately defeat without battle. At this moment, there were no apparitions beneath the Soul Banner; Xiao Yefeng's heart was resolute.
"Ghost! I am not a Daoist! Today you will return the Fate Soul you have trapped and obediently withdraw your Eerie Energy! Otherwise, under my Five Thunder Strike, you shall be reduced to ashes!" Xiao Yefeng said fiercely on purpose.
"Uh! Waaa!"
The sobbing transformed into a child's wailing within this illusion, echoing from all directions like a tide. The sound made Xiao Yefeng's head feel as if it would explode! After enduring for so long, he finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Shut up!"
With that, he formed hand seals and recited incantations. Behind him, dark clouds began to rise ominously; within the inky Thunderclouds, flashes of lightning crackled ominously throughout the illusion. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng declared, "Ghost, if you do not surrender now, do not blame me for unleashing my thunder!"
