"Begone! Souls return to your place, and the Earthly Fiends shall be punished!" Xiao Yefeng shouted angrily, flinging the Bagua Mirror into the deep pit. He stood at the entrance, blocking the view for the Two Goddesses behind him.
However, the sudden drop in temperature made the Two Goddesses hesitate to move, leaving them to watch Xiao Yefeng.
At that moment, the Bagua Mirror hovered in the three-meter-deep pit as if pulled by a string, its golden light clashing with a swirling mass of black and gray cold air. Xiao Yefeng leaped into the pit and called out, "Exit the cold storage and close the door tightly!"
As he jumped down, Mei Mo'er was about to take a look when Liu Yiyi pulled her back. "Brother Xiao is not reckless; there's a reason he doesn't want us to go. Let's leave!"
With that, Liu Yiyi dragged Mei Mo'er away from the cold storage. Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng had caught hold of the Bagua Mirror in mid-air and was diving toward the altar that originally housed the Angry Buddha.
Xiao Yefeng had never liked being disturbed, especially when facing something unknown for the first time. From the beginning, his agreement to lead the Two Goddesses had been an effort to suppress his own aversion.
Now he realized that the situation was more serious than he had anticipated; it was no longer something that could be avoided with simple protective spells. Thus, sending away the Two Goddesses was also a form of protection for them. He didn't need to worry about how they would fare after leaving; his protective spell was sufficient to handle ordinary Yin Qi.
As Xiao Yefeng charged toward the altar, holding the Bagua Mirror, just as he was about to press it against the altar, a surge of black and gray cold air rushed toward him. Reacting quickly, he flipped his body to evade this onslaught. However, he did not expect that this cold air would create a powerful backlash against him.
In desperation, Xiao Yefeng aimed the Bagua Mirror at the cold air. To his surprise, this time, the Xiao Family's treasure failed him; while golden light pierced through the cold air, it also enveloped him completely. Feeling as if he were engulfed in smoke and dust, Xiao Yefeng instinctively closed his eyes.
In that fleeting moment of darkness, he thought he heard a whisper of wind pass by his ear—a ghostly wail for the first time. A chill ran down his spine as he opened his eyes again, only to find that he truly saw a ghost this time. His initial estimation had been wrong; this Five Tigers Gathering had already summoned an Earthly Evil Spirit.
The combination of energies from this arrangement had attracted wealth, granting this Earthly Evil Spirit its unique power. Now he found himself pulled directly into its illusion—a realm commonly referred to as the Ghost Wall!
Suddenly, the three-foot-wide deep pit beside him vanished, replaced by an endless expanse of Desolate Stone Ridge. Underneath the Azure Moonlight, what lay before Xiao Yefeng were continuous Mounds and Rubble Mounds. Terrifyingly, some broken stone tablets stood before these mounds; some still bore inscriptions while many were incomplete. Alongside them were tattered Soul Banners, confirming that this place was indeed a Chaos Graveyard.
Xiao Yefeng believed that this was the site of the undeveloped Wankang Building, yet he found it hard to believe there would be so many abandoned graves here. It seemed endless, but that was the characteristic of the Ghost Wall. The Earthly Evil Spirit aimed to instill panic in Xiao Yefeng, who was trapped in an illusion. After all, when an ordinary person falls into fear, their vital energy becomes vulnerable, allowing these spirits to invade.
Of course, the spirits that needed to resort to such tactics were merely common ones. If it were an Evil Spirit, they wouldn't need to bother with such tricks; Evil Spirits could directly attack humans. However, the Earthly Evil Spirit had miscalculated a bit—Xiao Yefeng was not an ordinary person, nor was he just any Geomancer. In fact, he was a novice Geomancer like many others, and encountering such a ghost for the first time could leave one flustered and even lead to failure.
However, Xiao Yefeng was no ordinary newcomer. He possessed ancestral memories that were quite rare in this day and age. Back in his ancestors' time, such spirits were everywhere, and he had plenty of memories of battling them stored away.
"Why linger in this world and commit such harmful acts? Do you know that choosing to absorb the vital energy of the living is a path that leads to your soul's destruction?" Xiao Yefeng said, holding the Bagua Mirror in his left hand as he stood before one of the most inconspicuous abandoned graves.
"Whooo~ Wooooo!"
Underneath the tattered Soul Banner, a gust of cold wind swept through, causing the Soul Banner to flutter in the breeze and unleashing a chorus of ghostly wails.
"Trying to scare me? It seems you've chosen to resist until the end. A mere Earthly Evil Spirit? If it were an Earthbound Spirit, I might have some fear. If you don't show yourself within three counts, I'll destroy this grave and cut off your last chance of escape!" Xiao Yefeng declared as he raised his left hand to form a seal while his right hand pointed decisively at the grave.
Just then, a chilling wind blew past, blocking Xiao Yefeng's lightning strike. He had intended to intimidate this Earthly Evil Spirit, but who would have thought it would be so ungrateful? He had already found its lair, yet it dared to provoke him.
Thus, he silently recited the Heart Decision, channeling a faint energy from within his body to his fingertips. Instantly, crackling electricity appeared above his right hand as Ghost Mist surged toward him. Xiao Yefeng pointed at the Ghost Mist.
"Woo!"
With a ghostly cry, the black mist dissipated. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng threw the Bagua Mirror hidden in his left hand toward the Ghost Mist. The Bagua Mirror hovered above it, causing the Ghost Mist beneath it to scatter. Sure enough, a disheveled ghost clad in tattered rags appeared before Xiao Yefeng. The Yin Qi emanating from this ghost dissipated almost entirely due to Xiao Yefeng's earlier lightning strike. This startled Xiao Yefeng into a cold sweat; casually erasing a ghost was a grave taboo. Even when dealing with Yin Spirits or exterminating Evil Spirits, one had to think carefully. Generally speaking, when encountering wandering souls or ghosts, Geomancers would seal them away and find an appropriate time to communicate with Yin Spirits before handing them over.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng sensed something was off about this ghost. An Earthly Evil Spirit should be able to absorb Earth Qi to heal itself—how could it be so severely injured by his lightning strike? Was this not a true Earthly Evil Spirit?
As Xiao Yefeng thought of this, he drew the Seven Silver Needles from his bosom and threw them backward with a flick of his wrist. Sure enough, a Seven Star Formation emerged in the air, and a yellow-green Earthly Evil Spirit, its lower body entwined in chains, was about to launch a sneak attack. Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng freed his hands and began to form seals, transforming into a seasoned Geomancer. His hands moved swiftly as he changed the seals.
At that moment, the Seven Silver Needles hovered in the air, defying the laws of physics. The seven needles reflected the Big Dipper, while the Silver Bell behind the Pivot Pin swayed gently, aligning with the three needles representing Yuheng, Open Yang, and Yao Guang to form a handle. The Seven Star Formation shimmered with silver light, resembling the Big Dipper Seven Stars as it intimidated the surrounding Eerie Energy. Behind Xiao Yefeng was a Bagua Mirror for protection, and in front of him were the seven silver needles guarding him—truly a scene befitting a Geomancer.
The Earthly Evil Spirit wielding the large knife retreated a few steps due to the pressure from the Seven Star Formation. With the death of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Master, these spirits posed an even greater threat. Xiao Yefeng noticed the changing expression on the Earthly Evil Spirit as it stood on its chains and said, "Indeed, you are an Evil Spirit. The chains are about to break. Since that is the case, I cannot let you go. Once I capture you, I will ensure that Yin Si judges you properly!"
With that declaration, he shifted his seals and grasped the Nine Character Sword Seal Technique firmly—his left hand controlling the handle and his right hand directing the main star. The Seven Star Formation pressed forward as if to suppress the Earthly Evil Spirit. However, the Earthly Evil Spirit was enraged by the pressure of the formation and swung its large knife fearlessly at the Pivot Pin. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng transformed his sword gesture into a summoning gesture.
"Heir of Baoyun, summon the Big Dipper Deity to eliminate evil from this realm!" Once Xiao Yefeng entered battle mode, he seemed like a different person—his movements precise and every word echoing his memories perfectly. As he changed his gestures and recited incantations, he bit his tongue and spat out a drop of blood from its tip. Suddenly, the Seven Silver Needles went out of control; led by the Pivot Pin, they transformed into a humanoid shape.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng fully activated his Yin-Yang Eye and finally saw what this Earthly Evil Spirit looked like. It was not a transcendent Azure Faced Fiend nor did it possess any flashy effects like those seen in movies; instead, before Xiao Yefeng stood a somewhat transparent figure—except it had no legs. The Earthly Evil Spirit brandished its large knife and struck at the Seven Star Needle.
