As for Xiao Yefeng, he had now stepped into the Reverse Seven Stars Formation. Holding the Bagua Mirror in his hand, he immediately sensed something was off. The pointer of the Bagua Mirror spun rapidly, and instead of pointing upwards to the stars, it reversed direction, indicating north as south.
Realizing something was wrong, Xiao Yefeng quickly halted his steps and drew a Peach Wood Sword from his backpack. Indeed, the weapon in his hand was also a Peach Wood Sword, specifically crafted by the Metaphysics Society. It was clear that he had entered a bizarre place; since this was a formation within a formation, it must be Yuan Dui's trick.
Although the Wolf Fang Dagger also bore Talisman engravings, when it came to dealing with true spirits, the ancestral Peach Wood Sword was far more effective as a legitimate Taoist artifact. With the Bagua Mirror tucked close to his chest, Xiao Yefeng formed a sword gesture with his left hand, ready to cast a Spell for protection at any moment. His right hand gripped the Peach Wood Sword, which now shimmered with Golden Cyan Light, illuminating the surroundings.
The situation grew increasingly strange; his wrist recorder indicated that he hadn't moved at all, yet the scenery around him kept changing. Most importantly, Xiao Yefeng spotted a village. Can you believe it? There was actually a village at the bottom of Ge Qing Gou, complete with over a dozen large classical two-story wooden buildings and an ancient altar at its center.
The altar had an oddly rectangular shape, which struck Xiao Yefeng as peculiar. Who has a rectangular altar? Aren't they usually square or circular? A rectangular one just didn't make sense! Moreover, he felt no change in his Yin-Yang Eye, indicating that this Illusion could deceive even a Sorcerer's Yin-Yang Eye—a phenomenon documented in Xiao Yefeng's memory.
This was a higher-level manifestation of the Ghost Wall, referred to as the Peach Blossom Dream by ancient Sorcerers. Although Xiao Yefeng couldn't fathom why such an eerie phenomenon would have such a pleasant name, it was simply what had been passed down from ancestors; modern people wouldn't question it.
In any case, within the Peach Blossom Dream, one could easily meet their demise if not careful. Unlike the spiritual damage inflicted by the Ghost Wall, injuries sustained in the Peach Blossom Dream would directly affect one's physical body. If you were wounded in the dream, your real body would suffer equivalent harm.
With this in mind, Xiao Yefeng approached the stone altar cautiously. Suddenly, fourteen figures—men and women of all ages—materialized around the altar. Some were kneeling while others stood; the kneeling women and children tossed paper money into a large stone fire basin. Meanwhile, some of the standing men held Soul Banners or lanterns, while others lifted Paper Men and paper horses to throw into the Stone Fire Basin.
This was even more unsettling: two-meter-tall paper horses were being tossed directly into a one-foot-long fire basin only to vanish instantly. However, upon closer inspection, Xiao Yefeng noticed something strange—the items thrown into the fire basin reappeared moments later. The paper armor and weapons turned to ash before manifesting beside the fourteen figures just like those impressive steeds he had just seen.
After transforming into Azure Smoke, one of these paper horses appeared beneath a man holding a Soul Banner. The man who received the steed tossed his Soul Banner into the fire basin and found himself wielding a long spear with a gleaming iron tip that sent chills down Xiao Yefeng's spine.
Then even more bizarre items appeared in the hands of women kneeling to burn paper offerings—large knives, long swords, and short staffs were all being tossed into the fire basin. Witnessing this scene prompted Xiao Yefeng to step onto the sacrificial stone platform. With a swing of his Peach Wood Sword, he unleashed a stream of Golden Cyan sword energy—this was his first time executing an external attack since losing his Psychic Blade.
The sword energy carried Vital Energy and Righteousness along with some Punishment Power as it swept toward everyone present. With a crackling sound, wherever the sword energy passed through, each person fell to the ground severed in two—innocent women with wide eyes filled with confusion, genuine children, and men whose eyes burned with hatred—all fourteen dismembered bodies lay sprawled before Xiao Yefeng on the stone altar.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yefeng couldn't help but laugh. "Haha! If you're going to scare someone, at least do it professionally. Are you waiting for me to chop off heads? Death can be so neatly arranged! Brothers! This is a Virgin seat, right? Such obsessive-compulsive disorder!"
As soon as Xiao Yefeng finished speaking, the head of the leading woman suddenly rolled over, tumbling to Xiao Yefeng's feet. Blood tears streamed from her eyes, gradually filling her entire face with crimson. Just as the blood dripped onto her lips, she let out a sinister laugh and said, "Hehehe, even in a deadlock, you dare to speak so boldly. Although you haven't brought us to our peak state, do you really think you can defeat us when we all have weapons?"
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng saw fourteen corpses suddenly rise up. Blood flowed from their necks as if they had taken a bath in blood. Thirteen heads simultaneously flew up and landed back on their bodies. Xiao Yefeng noticed that all fourteen of them had undergone changes; the armor that had just been burned was now donned by them. However, just like the woman, none of them were fully equipped.
The warhorse lacked neck armor, the knight was missing a chest plate, and the other men were also short on gear. As for the three women, they had little equipment—one held a zither, another a Guqin, and the headless female corpse clutched a bamboo flute. The last child, however, was fully equipped with well-fitted armor and dual blades; one might mistake him for a young hero!
Seeing this situation left Xiao Yefeng stunned. He hadn't really cracked this Peach Blossom Dream! If he hadn't broken through first, these fourteen Evil Spirits would have fully recovered, leaving him with little chance to fight back.
No way! Since there are reinforcements, he might as well call for them! After pressing an icon on the display of his wristwatch, Xiao Yefeng said, "Fei! Get close to me quickly; there's a big feast waiting for that Old Bat!"
Indeed, the reinforcements were Thompson. Since they were enemies, they might as well join in the fun!
"What the hell! Can you handle this Bat? I can't take it anymore!" Mo Fei was being overwhelmed by Thompson's relentless attacks; even his defense was falling apart.
"Come on! There are fourteen Evil Spirits waiting!" Xiao Yefeng urged.
"Fourteen! Did you poke a hornet's nest? Fine, I'm coming!" Mo Fei's Blade shifted direction; after releasing his power, he turned and ran while Thompson was already seeing red and chased after him.
Without further conversation, facing the fourteen Evil Spirits, Xiao Yefeng couldn't back down either! He leaped up and kicked the floating woman's head away. She thought Xiao Yefeng couldn't reach her at such a height; however, in an instant, his Qi-infused kick sent her watermelon-sized head flying straight into the fire pit.
There wasn't even a scream; as her head entered the fire pit, the female ghost collapsed to the ground. The body that had been clutching the bamboo flute now lay flat on the ground like a human corpse—dead for real. In front of the other thirteen Evil Spirits' watchful eyes, this woman's Ghost Body transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the fire pit.
"Yo? Is this the way to break through?" Xiao Yefeng never expected that by sheer accident, he would instantly kill an Evil Spirit. The other Evil Spirits finally reacted, brandishing their weapons towards him.
At this moment, a sense of seriousness filled Xiao Yefeng's eyes. He sensed that the thirteen Evil Spirits were all at the Earthbound Spirit level. Meanwhile, due to the incident with Ge Qing Gou, Zhang Chuanhai had already lost his power and could not be sent for reincarnation by Xiao Yefeng. The only one who could help him now was Zitong, but Zitong was currently suppressing the spirits captured within the Black Gold Spirit Banner.
Wait! The Black Gold Spirit Banner! With this thought, Xiao Yefeng quickly pulled out the Black Gold Spirit Banner from his backpack with his left hand. He infused it with spiritual energy, and in an instant, the banner expanded in size. To the thirteen spirits, it appeared like a massive flag that weighed heavily upon them, making it hard for them to breathe.
As Xiao Yefeng raised the Black Gold Spirit Banner, he felt that the thirteen Evil Spirits were suppressed by a level of Eerie Energy. Under the influence of the Black Gold Spirit Banner, these Evil Spirits were now barely at the threshold of the Earthbound Spirit level. This reassured Xiao Yefeng.
With his strength at the Peak of Bright Strength and protected by Dao and Confucianism's Vital Energy and Righteousness, he charged towards the thirteen Evil Spirits. The spirits showed no hesitation either, attacking him with their weapons aimed at his vital points. In this chaotic melee, the sounds of clashing Peach Wood Sword against ghostly weapons echoed around them. Xiao Yefeng noticed that among the thirteen Evil Spirits, only eleven were engaged in combat; two female spirits had been playing their instruments from the very beginning.
The sounds of the Guqin were melodious but continuously disrupted Xiao Yefeng's mind, luring him into a trance with their enchanting notes. Several times he was struck by ghostly soldiers' long spears. Each time he attempted to break through and slay the two female spirits, he was thwarted, especially by the Cavalry and one particularly strong spirit among them who retained eighty percent of their combat ability even under the Black Gold Spirit Banner.
"We won't let you succeed again! No one can withstand the musical assault of the Three Fairies!" At that moment, as Cavalry danced with their spear creating a Gun Flower aimed at Xiao Yefeng, they declared.
"Hmph! What do lonely souls think they can achieve?" Xiao Yefeng retorted. He horizontally positioned his Peach Wood Sword and drew a drop of blood from his fingertip onto its blade. Instantly, a red aura shimmered along its edge. Forming a hand gesture, he held the Peach Wood Sword upright in front of him as arcs of energy crackled along its blade. Finally, he hurled the Peach Wood Sword forward; it transformed into a fierce tiger wreathed in lightning that pounced towards Cavalry while simultaneously stomping down heavily on two Evil Spirits' heads with its hind legs.
The two Evil Spirits struck by Thunder Tiger were instantly paralyzed. Xiao Yefeng seized them as makeshift shields against attacks from other Evil Spirits before chasing after Thunder Tiger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Thunder Tiger unleashed three arcs of energy that forced Cavalry and other spirits to retreat. As they fell back, the third arc struck another Evil Spirit. Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Yefeng swiftly moved to stand before Thunder Tiger.
