Yuan Xun, wearing sunglasses and pretending to doze off, clearly sensed Zhu Ganglie's gaze. However, Yuan Xun remained expressionless as he continued to regulate his energy. The destruction of the Ghost Control Talisman startled him; although it wasn't forged with his life, it was still one of his strongest talismans. With the Ghost Control Talisman destroyed and the Spirit Tamer within it annihilated, Yuan Xun, who had not been injured for a long time, felt a hint of crisis. While he didn't believe anything would happen to him, he indeed sensed that he had become too complacent.
Moreover, tonight he was facing the Geomancer from Wa Country. Although he had comprehensive information about Kitagawa Kai provided by Li Ji and Zhu Ganglie, he knew that in the world of martial arts, the older one got, the bolder they became. Xiao Yefeng had made him suffer before, so this time against Kitagawa Kai, Yuan Xun dared not take it lightly. After all, Kitagawa Kai had a formidable reputation in Wa Country and was considered a standout among the younger generation.
Yuan Xun understood that this operation would completely impact his plans over the past few years. If Kitagawa Kai managed to escape tonight, all his efforts would be in vain. He couldn't imagine the consequences of failure—demotion or being hunted down! The thought was too daunting for Yuan Xun, so he prepared thoroughly for tonight's attack on Kitagawa Kai.
Due to a parking incident on the way, Xiao Yefeng arrived at the abandoned warehouse ahead of another group that had set out at the same time. As soon as he arrived and found a secluded spot to hide the car, Xiao Yefeng entered the warehouse. However, upon stepping inside, he immediately sensed something was off.
According to Feng Shui Techniques, one of the main characteristics of a Yin residence is that upon entering, one feels a cold breeze blowing from behind. The heavier the Yin Qi, the more urgent one feels—a place with dense Yin Qi often makes sensitive individuals feel an urge to use the restroom. Unfortunately for him, this place was just like that; without even needing to activate his Yin-Yang Eye, Xiao Yefeng could feel a chilling wind blowing from within the abandoned warehouse.
Strangely enough, there was no such sensation outside. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yefeng discovered that something was indeed amiss: in a dark corner above the entrance door hung a modern Bagua Mirror. The large warehouse had only a few windows—four in total—intersecting on either side. What was alarming was that each of these windows had a palm-sized mirror embedded above them. The mirrors reflected light from one to another; when Xiao Yefeng shone his flashlight on one mirror, the beam shot across to another mirror, creating an intricate Great Net in midair.
At that moment, Zhang Chuanhai, who had been following Xiao Yefeng closely, was suddenly struck by a beam of light descending from above. Instinctively blocking it with an iron chain, Zhang Chuanhai quickly dove into Xiao Yefeng's body. Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Yefeng turned off his flashlight; without the light source, the four mirrors lost their effectiveness. It dawned on him that this place was actually a ghost-trapping Feng Shui formation.
However, this formation could only trap Earthly Evil Spirits and wandering souls; beings like Zhang Chuanhai could easily evade it. The light net in midair consisted of only four beams and could be easily avoided. Clearly, these four mirrors were arranged by whoever built the warehouse according to Feng Shui principles—either by coincidence or under guidance from a Geomancer—as a means to dispel malevolent energy.
After all, looking at the dust on both the Bagua Mirror at the entrance and these four mirrors revealed everything. Yet both Xiao Yefeng and Zhang Chuanhai were curious about what exactly was gathering Light Evil energy to attack spirits.
Zhang Chuanhai wanted to float up and take a look but was stopped by Xiao Yefeng. After all, Zhang Chuanhai was still a ghost; even as an Earthbound Spirit, he remained vulnerable. If what gathered Light Evil energy above were Feng Shui tools capable of storing some Light Evil energy themselves, Zhang Chuanhai would be at risk. Thus, after surveying their surroundings, Xiao Yefeng climbed up along one of the corner pillars.
Navigating along the steel beams above the warehouse, Xiao Yefeng spotted an inverted Bagua embedded in the ceiling—clearly left over from its construction. What relieved him was that this was merely an ordinary inverted Bagua; its function was to reflect Light Evil energy back into the room when it gathered. However, beneath this inverted Bagua lay a shattered lens that refracted light—meaning it could no longer trap gathered Light Evil energy to purify the Yin Qi within the room. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng finally understood why there was such heavy Yin Qi in this abandoned warehouse.
Although he didn't know why this warehouse had been arranged as a Feng Shui formation, Xiao Yefeng could make educated guesses: it likely used to be a burial site. The builder probably feared that years of accumulated Yin Qi would affect their fortune and thus hired a Geomancer to set up this formation to gather Light Evil energy and purify Yin Qi. However, it was evident that someone had deliberately shattered the refracting lens—someone who knew about this setup and intended to cause harm—resulting in heavy Yin Qi truly affecting the warehouse's owner; this much could be inferred from its abandonment.
Light Evil is inherently a harmful existence, yet the orchestrator surprisingly utilizes Light Evil to purify Yin Qi. This revelation left Xiao Yefeng feeling enlightened; he had never considered that malevolent energy could be used in such a way. However, if Light Evil could be utilized like this, could other forms of malevolent energy, such as Reverse Curve Malevolence or Slashing Malevolence, also be harnessed?
While pondering this, Xiao Yefeng, crouched on a steel beam, heard the sound of a car engine approaching from a distance. Checking the time, he realized there was still quite a while before the agreed meeting with the Mei Family. At that moment, he thought to himself that the Zhu Family was indeed up to no good; arriving so early could only mean they were plotting against him and his companions. It was too late for him to find a place to hide, so he settled into a spacious spot against the wall on the steel beam where he could see the entire warehouse—one of the best hiding places.
Unlike Xiao Yefeng, the car drove directly into the warehouse. He saw Zhu Ganglie and a man wearing a long robe and a duckbill cap get out first. Following them was a woman from Wa Country dressed in a kimono. The moment Xiao Yefeng laid eyes on her, he was taken aback. Although he had seen Geisha from Wa Country before, seeing one so heavily made up in the dead of night was shocking. If it weren't for his curiosity about what these three were up to, he would have rushed down to set fire to this woman who resembled a Paper Man.
Once inside, the trio looked around cautiously for any hidden threats. However, they were no match for the infiltration skills of a Mercenary, honed through countless lives. Hiding in the corner of the beam, Xiao Yefeng was fortunate that there was also a crane beam shielding him from view; unless someone came up close, no one would be able to spot him.
"No one! Mr. Yuan! Li Ji! Please prepare!" said Zhu Ganglie. With no other options, he could only bully ordinary people with his spirit abilities; against an Onmyoji of Kitagawa Kai's caliber, he was merely an insignificant presence—no more than a plate of pickles.
"Mr. Yuan! Li Ji!" Upon hearing Zhu Ganglie's words, Xiao Yefeng froze momentarily, thinking how coincidental it was that both individuals he was looking for were right here.
He already knew about Li Ji from Zhu Ganglie's phone call, but he believed that only Yuan Xun could be referred to as Mr. Yuan. Meanwhile, Zhang Chuanhai was extremely anxious to break free from Xiao Yefeng's Spirit Platform to see for himself. However, Xiao Yefeng had sealed him within it; if he were to appear now, it would expose both their locations. Moreover, at this moment, Xiao Yefeng did not want to reveal himself—his existence was akin to how vital Yuan Xun was to dealing with Zhu Ganglie.
Understanding this, Zhang Chuanhai refrained from struggling. After all, even if he saw what Yuan Xun looked like, it wouldn't help him much; at present, the collar of Yuan Xun's robe was tightly fastened, making it impossible to see if there were any birthmarks on his neck.
As expected after Zhu Ganglie spoke, the woman resembling a Paper Man, identified as Li Ji, immediately sprang into action. Her wide kimono featured a crimson sash. At this moment, she seemed completely unconcerned about the presence of either Zhu Ganglie or Yuan Xun, directly loosening her sash and revealing her pale body beneath it. Her face and neck were starkly white compared to her yellowish skin typical of Easterners; despite her alluring figure, Xiao Yefeng had no interest in such women from Wa Country, especially after learning about her identity.
Setting aside those thoughts, what bothered him more was how unrecognizable she appeared due to her heavy makeup—her face and body were different colors. Those who knew she wore makeup would understand; those who didn't might think she was some kind of robot with an interchangeable head!
The sight of an unclothed Li Ji drew the attention of both men accompanying her, particularly that of Zhu Ganglie. With his keen eyesight, Xiao Yefeng noticed that desire burned brightly in his eyes; it seemed like he could hardly resist rushing over to tear her apart. Yet this was also the first time he had seen a Female Onmyoji from Wa Country. After removing her clothing, she began shifting her hands into various poses—a technique learned from Geomancers and adapted into hand seals by Yin Yang Masters of Wa Country.
Indeed, this woman had talent; her hand seals became increasingly rapid as she moved about as if tracing some formation with her movements. However, what puzzled Xiao Yefeng was why she needed to undress—was this customary in Wa Country!? Soon after, he watched as she alternated between standing and sitting on the ground while continuously shifting positions. Due to the distance, he couldn't discern exactly what she was doing until finally she retrieved a Black Porcelain Bottle from behind her kimono and poured something onto the ground before donning her kimono again and stepping aside respectfully to stand still.
