"Who are you? How dare you interfere in our matters? And what is this Life Banner? I don't know what you're talking about. I warn you, those who offend us will not have a good end!" Before the words were finished, Xiao Yefeng thrust six Silver Needles into the Paper Man, piercing its limbs and torso. In an instant, the massive Paper Man vanished, and the surroundings returned to their original state. All that remained before Xiao Yefeng was a piece of talisman paper, on which a red figure was drawn, now pierced by Seven Silver Needles. He bent down to pick it up and examined it closely before removing the Silver Needles, folding them neatly, and putting them away. After glancing around, Xiao Yefeng returned to the Mei Family.
The Mei Family remained tranquil. The lights in Mei Baizhu's room were bright, indicating that Su Yun was still taking care of him. Once back in his guest room, Xiao Yefeng immediately summoned Zhang Chuanhai from the Bagua Mirror. With a whoosh, Zhang Chuanhai emerged from the mirror, gasping for breath as he absorbed the surrounding Yin Qi. "Bro! Your Bagua Mirror is truly not a place for humans—no, for ghosts! It's terrifying in there!" he exclaimed.
"Brother Zhang! I had no choice. At that time, you were captured by someone using the Life Banner. If it weren't for the defensive Righteousness on the Bagua Mirror, I wouldn't have been able to stop them from capturing you. It was unavoidable!" Xiao Yefeng explained.
"I understand! Did you manage to catch that person in the end? I saw you beat them back to their original form!" Zhang Chuanhai asked.
"Ah! Although I'm quite powerful, I felt that this geomancer who crafted the Ghost Control Talisman was truly formidable. When it comes to Feng Shui Techniques, I really had no chance!" After recalling the earlier situation, Xiao Yefeng replied.
"How can that be? Didn't you win in the end?" Zhang Chuanhai said.
"The situation is complicated. There are many reasons why I was able to win. Initially, I really thought he was a master who had cultivated an external incarnation talisman. To my surprise, he used a Paper Man containing a Spirit Tamer. Clearly, this wasn't an external incarnation at all. Moreover," Xiao Yefeng explained everything in detail.
It turned out that at first, Xiao Yefeng genuinely believed he had encountered a master. However, in his memory, an external incarnation could speak directly and would never resort to using a Spirit Tamer. Think about it: if you wielded a precious sword, would you fight your enemy with a wooden sword?
A true geomancer with genuine spiritual power could summon deities above and communicate with the Nine Hells. Using such a ghost would be beneath their dignity; thus, employing a Paper Man to nurture ghosts indicated that this was an ordinary geomancer. It was precisely because Xiao Yefeng saw through this trick that he gained the upper hand. The Seven Star Needle pinned down the Paper Man, effectively immobilizing the controlling Spirit Tamer inside.
Then that geomancer controlling the Spirit Tamer attempted to turn the tables but ended up colliding with the Bagua Mirror, hitting another wall. After suffering two heavy blows, resistance became impossible. When threats against Xiao Yefeng failed and he realized their negotiations had collapsed, he naturally couldn't let them go free. He initially intended to seal the Spirit Tamer and hand it over to Yin Si. However, upon touching this particular Spirit Tamer, he sensed that he seemed to receive information from it.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a power given by some cheap brother; this particular Spirit Tamer held several lives in its hands. Such an evil spirit could not enter reincarnation even if handed over to Yin Si. Therefore, without hesitation, Xiao Yefeng used seven needles to seal its soul according to instructions from that cheap brother, first dispersing its eerie energy and sealing it within the Seven Star Needle. Although he didn't know why that older brother understood the efficacy of his needles, once back in his guest room, it dawned on him: since his ancestors had collaborated with this great figure before, it made sense for others to know about his Seven Star Needle.
At this moment, within his Seven Star Needle, a hint of gray energy seemed to flicker within the purple-gold stone at the needle's tip; this was from that earlier encounter with the Spirit Tamer. In terms of strength, this particular spirit tamer was slightly weaker than Zhang Chuanhai, who was an earthbound spirit; however, under the control of that geomancer, it was far stronger than him. Now that the eerie energy had been dispersed, only a foolish ghostly power remained.
Before both man and ghost lay a ghost control talisman punctured by seven needle holes. While Xiao Yefeng's understanding of talismans was somewhat advanced—referring specifically to his method of engraving—the technique practiced by him and his family involved secret arts from the Baoyun Palace. They inscribed talismans using their internal spiritual power; of course, what Xiao Yefeng possessed was merely false spiritual power!
However, the disciples of Baoyun Palace rarely use talismans. Firstly, it is inconvenient, and secondly, it is not beneficial for combat in various situations. After all, each type of talisman has its own specific function. To utilize the abilities of different talismans, one would need to carry them all, which complicates matters when some are missing. This makes it difficult to adapt to the ever-changing dynamics of battle. Drawing talismans using one's own power is indeed a waste of energy, but it allows for greater versatility.
Of course, advantages and disadvantages are interconnected. In battle, power is extremely precious; drawing talismans on-site wastes time and effort compared to having prepared talismans in advance. Nevertheless, this is how things are. For some reason, Xiao Yefeng recalls that his ancestors looked down upon the use of talismans. He feels indifferent about this; after all, combining Ling Kong's drawing with talismans could lead to a favorable outcome.
However, Xiao Yefeng understands that he is limited in his abilities. The tools required for drawing talismans—paper, brushes, ink, knives—are all difficult to come by. Nowadays, very few people can even produce talisman paper that can channel spiritual energy, let alone spiritual brushes or Vermilion Ink. Therefore, the owner of this Ghost Control Talisman must be someone who possesses both talisman paper and a spiritual brush; otherwise, unless this Ghost Control Talisman is a treasured heirloom passed down to him.
With the Ghost Control Talisman destroyed, it is now nothing more than a piece of scrap paper, albeit with strange symbols drawn on yellow paper.
"Brother Zhang! Have you heard this voice before?" Xiao Yefeng asked, pointing at the Ghost Control Talisman.
"No! Honestly, I have no idea what it is. I don't even know what your Life Banner is!" Zhang Chuanhai shook his head.
Xiao Yefeng picked up the Ghost Control Talisman and burned it to ashes. "It seems everything will have to be investigated through Jin Ling!"
After saying this, Xiao Yefeng instructed Zhang Chuanhai to hide in his Spirit Platform while he continued to absorb the meager Qi points available. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng desperately wanted the Dragon Head to provide him with spiritual stones. He knew that the False Spiritual Power within him was largely due to those two thumb-sized spiritual stones; they had saved him nearly a year of cultivation time.
As he cultivated, Xiao Yefeng explained Zhang Chuanhai's situation. He had long suspected that there was something wrong with Zhang Chuanhai's spirit. Although Zhang Chuanhai was now Xiao Yefeng's legitimate Spirit Tamer, he was unable to reincarnate because one part of his Fate Soul was missing. It seemed that his Fate Soul had been forcibly torn away by someone and was trapped within the Life Banner.
To help Zhang Chuanhai maintain his existence, they needed to find this Geomancer; only by eliminating this Geomancer could they retrieve Zhang Chuanhai's Soul Banner and restore his Fate Soul so he could reincarnate. However, all of this depended on finding Jin Ling first. Was the person controlling the Ghost Control Talisman the same man who was with Jin Ling? At that moment, Xiao Yefeng tried hard to recall Jin Ling's appearance. After resolving Mei Baizhu's issue, he would seek out Jin Ling.
Meanwhile, in an unremarkable old district, a man in his thirties suddenly opened his eyes. A mouthful of hot blood surged from his chest and splattered onto the ground before him. This incident coincided precisely with the moment Xiao Yefeng ignited the Ghost Control Talisman. As it transformed into Azure Smoke and vanished, the man collapsed back onto his bed. The woman caring for him was horrified and frantically wiped the blood from his lips while trying to stabilize his breathing with her other hand.
"What a vicious person!" After uttering these words weakly, the man slumped back onto the bed. The woman then took out an exquisite Black Porcelain Bottle and poured out a single black pill to feed him. Afterward, he seemed to regain some strength and looked at her with a grin. "Haha, Da Hai! You really are fortunate! Even when dead, someone can help you! Call Ling and tell Zhu the Young Master that his plan has been thwarted!"
When the woman turned on the light in the room, her stunning beauty was revealed; she was none other than Zhang Chuanhai's ex-girlfriend—the very spark that Xiao Yefeng was currently seeking!
Jin Ling's stunningly beautiful face was filled with reluctance, yet it seemed she had resigned herself to her fate. Mechanically, she picked up the phone from the bedside and dialed Zhu Ganglie.
"Zhu the Young Master! It's Ling!" Jin Ling said.
"Oh? Is there something from Mr. Yuan?" Zhu Ganglie replied, his mood sour, but he still dared not neglect the true owner of the call.
"Mr. Yuan's plan has been interrupted!" Jin Ling maintained her indifferent expression, as if nothing mattered to her as long as this man remained unharmed.
"Oh! Please tell Mr. Yuan that I will spare no expense, as long as he can help me complete the plan. Doubling the reward is not a problem," Zhu Ganglie's voice came through the phone to the man.
However, the man in bed, referred to by both as Mr. Yuan, finally spoke up. "The plan remains unchanged, but the reward is not just doubled; I want an extra zero!"
Hearing his words, Zhu Ganglie felt a surge of anger that made his teeth grind, but with the stakes so high, he suppressed his fury and calmly replied, "Understood!"
After that, Jin Ling hung up at Mr. Yuan's gesture. At that moment, Mr. Yuan wore a wicked smile and said, "Ling, don't just stand there! Your task isn't finished yet!"
Upon hearing his words, Jin Ling shivered and mechanically moved to the bed. She opened her mouth, and soon laughter from the man mixed with Jin Ling's screams filled the room.
On the other end of the line, Zhu Ganglie heard the busy signal and his already twisted expression became even more unbearable. He slammed his phone down so hard that the screen shattered. In a fit of rage, he hurled the now useless device across the room, scattering its parts everywhere. Just then, he suddenly looked up at the two people in front of him.
