At this moment, it seemed that Xiao Yefeng, who had summoned the Beidou God, had exited that state. The Silver Needle in the air no longer required his control and could automatically evade the attacks of the Ghost Head Blade. Remembering the ghost behind him, Xiao Yefeng pointed his Baiyun Divine Finger, binding a nearly dissipated ghost with chains and sealing it at his fingertip.
On the other side, the Earthly Evil Spirit was finally pinned to the ground by the Seven Silver Needles. With his Yin-Yang Eye fully activated, Xiao Yefeng noticed a golden light seemingly pressing down on the Earthly Evil Spirit, clearly the power of the Big Dipper Deity. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng clasped his hands together and respectfully bowed to the Seven Star Needle, saying, "Thank you for your assistance, Divine Lord!"
With that, Xiao Yefeng's finger pressed against the Earthly Evil Spirit's forehead. A reluctant wail echoed as shackles appeared out of thin air, clamping tightly around the Earthly Evil Spirit's hands and neck. These shackles were from Ancient Huaxia; although they were placed on a ghost dressed in modern clothing, who cared about appearances as long as they were effective?
As soon as the Earthly Evil Spirit's hands were bound by the shackles, the Seven Silver Needles fell limply to the ground, forming a pattern resembling the Seven Star Formation embedded in its back. The Earthly Evil Spirit, which had been somewhat defiant moments ago, was instantly crushed under an immense weight as if carrying a mountain.
The illusion remained intact; the effect of the Ghost Wall did not dissipate due to the capture of the Earthly Evil Spirit. On the contrary, its capture seemed to provoke dissatisfaction among the accumulated Yin Qi in this place, swirling around Xiao Yefeng and intensifying the ghostly winds in his ears.
Xiao Yefeng paid no mind to these disturbances. The capture of the Earthly Evil Spirit meant that these impotent earthbound spirits were merely minor nuisances. Standing before a half-buried gravestone, he looked at the Earthly Evil Spirit and asked, "I ask you, who are you? Do you absorb living people's Yang energy and intimidate them willingly or under orders?"
"Geomancer, don't be delusional! I won't tell you anything! You're strong! I never expected to encounter a Geomancer capable of summoning deities. But isn't it just about being reduced to ashes? Let me tell you, when I chose to attack these people, I was already prepared!" The Earthly Evil Spirit replied rudely with its gray eyes rolling.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng kicked over a gravestone, flipping it over to reveal an inscription: Zhang Chuanhai, born on December 7th of Year 2024 in Longyuan, died on December 7th of Year 2048 in Longyuan.
"You are called Zhang Chuanhai? No way!" As Xiao Yefeng calculated this birth date with his fingers, images of this person's fate immediately flashed in his mind. However, a strange hexagram made him gasp in surprise.
"Hmph! You Geomancers are all bad people! I know my birth time; you can't see my complete fate!" The Earthly Evil Spirit retorted angrily.
"Zhang Chuanhai! Your name is indeed correct; however, it depends on who you are. You are already dead, and your grave is right beneath my feet. The ghost stands before me; knowing your birth date is enough!" Xiao Yefeng said while pinching his finger with his left hand and calculating Zhang Chuanhai's Fate with his right.
This battle of wits triggered a broad awakening of Xiao Yefeng's inherited memories. He finally understood how to avoid suffering from aftereffects and how to perceive one's fortune clearly. Reading fortunes for ghosts did not involve any moral implications; after all, once someone was dead, their fate was set in stone. There was no longer any question of changing their destiny.
However, there is another type of person who does not suffer from calamities, and that is those who should not have died but did. Helping such individuals seek justice will bring blessings to oneself, provided that one assists these spirits in their grievances.
"Zhang Chuanhai, you shouldn't be dead, right? You were supposed to live until eighty-two. How could you die at twenty-four? Moreover, according to your birth data, you should have family. Did they not help you move your grave?" Xiao Yefeng asked, puzzled.
At that moment, Zhang Chuanhai, the Earthly Evil Spirit, suddenly revealed a face full of rage and glared fiercely at Xiao Yefeng. "Isn't it all the doing of you geomancers? When I was alive, I was a useless person, and now that I'm dead, I'm still a worthless ghost. I hate this!"
At this point, the chains binding Zhang Chuanhai's feet unexpectedly broke. Despite being shackled and having his Yin Qi locked by the Big Dipper Deity, he managed to break through the critical point of an Earthly Evil Spirit and successfully advanced to become an Earthbound Spirit. This left Xiao Yefeng quite astonished; he had not anticipated that Zhang Chuanhai harbored such intense resentment. It dawned on him why Yin Si did not collect Zhang Chuanhai's soul.
It turned out that not only did Zhang Chuanhai die unjustly, but as a Vengeful Spirit, he could not reincarnate. More importantly, his resentment was too heavy and he awaited vindication. Having lived eighty-two years yet dying at twenty-four meant that if no one helped him, he would endure the torment of Righteousness for fifty-eight years each day. However, since he should not be completely extinguished, Righteousness would not eradicate him like it did with other wandering souls. This led to Zhang Chuanhai's overwhelming resentment.
Realizing this, Xiao Yefeng suddenly spaced out for a moment before responding. "Wait a minute. Normally speaking, according to my memories, those who are wronged like you should be taken away by Yin Si. How come you are enduring the tortures of Righteousness here? Did no one come for you after your death?"
"Hmph! If someone had come for me, I would have left long ago! You geomancers are nothing but wolves in sheep's clothing—no! Devils in sheep's clothing! You help me with fortune-telling while secretly plotting against my life. You people are simply heartless!" Zhang Chuanhai glared at Xiao Yefeng.
"Hey, brother! What have I done to provoke you? Don't lump me in with everyone else! If it weren't for your schemes against the living, would I be here looking for trouble?" Xiao Yefeng retorted, feeling a surge of anger from Zhang Chuanhai's continuous curses.
"You have no part in this; you're no good either. That guy back then was even more of a good person than you. And what happened in the end? I still ended up like this!" Zhang Chuanhai replied as he moved his newly freed ankles.
Indeed, the distinction between an Earthly Evil Spirit and an Earthbound Spirit lies here: an Earthbound Spirit is an Earthly Evil Spirit that has broken its chains. The legs that were once bound by chains were returned to these spirits at the moment they became Earthbound Spirits. However, as the saying goes, there are pros and cons; now a pair of shackles appeared on the connections of his restraints. At this moment, Zhang Chuanhai was essentially a ghost tightly bound to a pillar.
Even though Zhang Chuanhai's power surpassed that of Xiao Yefeng now, the shackles Xiao Yefeng wielded were forged with divine orders. Once these shackles were placed on him, even an Earthbound Spirit or the kings of Yin Si had to comply obediently.
"How about this: I've already notified my superiors about your situation. I believe it won't be long before someone helps you resolve your issues. So please don't harbor such hatred towards me; I'm doing this for your own good. At least you'll be able to reincarnate directly, right?" Xiao Yefeng said.
"But what about my brothers and sisters?" Zhang Chuanhai asked.
"Don't worry. Since I, as a Geomancer, have notified you, all the wandering souls here will be sent to Yin Si, where their merits and demerits will be assessed according to the Six Paths of Reincarnation," Xiao Yefeng replied after considering the situation based on his memories.
However, at that moment, a wave of Inspiration appeared in this illusionary realm, and the illusion instantly dissipated. Xiao Yefeng found himself back at the bottom of the pit, in that narrow space once again. He sat cross-legged on the ground, and the Bagua Mirror that had been hovering above him fell down. It landed where the originally shattered Vajra Porcelain Statue had been. Reaching out to pick up his Bagua Mirror, he noticed that there was a Bagua Diagram on the offering table, as if it had been branded there.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng felt the Yin Qi in the pit dissipating; clearly, the Earthly Evil had been sealed by the Bagua Diagram. After climbing out of the deep pit, Xiao Yefeng was about to call upon the Two Goddesses when he suddenly fainted, collapsing onto the ground.
Xiao Yefeng's consciousness then arrived in a pure space. A beam of Inspiration floated above him, while Zhang Chuanhai and the spirits he had sealed knelt obediently beneath it.
