On the other side, Mei Chuanqiong was holding Mei Mo'er as they had just left. Turning to look at Xiao Yefeng and the others, she happened to witness the scene involving Phenomenon, Xiao Yefeng, the distant dagger, the Kongming Lantern in the air, and the spiritual energy lines connecting her to the other half of Mo Fei.
The Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace had been broken. Nangong Zhe, who had been by Xiao Yefeng's side, also spotted Mei Chuanqiong not far away. At Xiao Yefeng's gesture, he quickly ran to her side. At this moment, only Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei remained at Ge Qing Gou, along with Thompson and two attendants, as well as Yuan Dui standing atop the Blood Dripping Tree, looking astonished. Four black-robed figures lay lifeless beside Yuan Dui.
"Lamp Breaking Yin Technique! Who are you? Why are you interfering with our new forces?" Yuan Dui shouted from atop the Blood Dripping Tree, his eyes filled with rage.
Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei gathered together. Mo Fei cautiously watched the three vampires while Xiao Yefeng addressed Yuan Dui, "What a coincidence! I truly did not come here to cause you trouble; I came to save my friends!" He pointed at Nangong Zhe and Mei Mo'er beside Mei Chuanqiong.
Yuan Dui glanced at them before quickly shifting his gaze to the trio of Thompson. His eyes were nearly bloodshot; it was no small matter that the four disciples cultivated through Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace were now dead. Xiao Yefeng had turned his Bagua using a lamp to counteract Extreme Yin with Extreme Yang. As the saying goes, Yin gives rise to Yang; he had reversed and destroyed his own Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace. They should not have died, yet for some unknown reason, all four had perished from backlash.
This time, he had suffered a significant loss. Although Xiao Yefeng was the direct destroyer, if these three vampires hadn’t intervened, his Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace would not have been broken. At this moment, Yuan Dui directed half of his hatred toward Thompson and his companions.
Thompson realized something was amiss and immediately stepped forward. "My Eastern friend, I believe you must be a member of Eastern New Forces! Our Divine Descent Society and your new forces are both underground powers; we often collaborate. Moreover, we should unite against external threats; the Eastern Metaphysics Society is our true enemy!"
Reluctantly, Thompson's words held some truth. In his fury, Yuan Dui shifted his gaze back to Xiao Yefeng. However, after exchanging glances with Mo Fei, Xiao Yefeng said, "What a clever scheme! You an outsider reaching into Huaxia and even kidnapping our citizens; do you think we are traitors?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yefeng's words, Yuan Dui clearly recognized their validity. He turned his attention back to Thompson and declared, "Enough nonsense! You are all enemies; however, you foreign demons deserve death even more!"
With that, Yuan Dui pulled out an Azure Green Soul Banner from somewhere. With a flick of the Soul Banner, dozens of Evil Spirits swarmed around the three vampires. The Evil Spirits that had been hiding near them suddenly lunged at Thompson and his companions without regard for their own lives. The sudden attack left the three vampires stunned as they felt their blood essence being drained by the mass of Evil Spirits.
However, even mud men have their limits; surrounded by Evil Spirits, the three vampires surged with Blood Energy. They tore through several Evil Spirits back-to-back and absorbed Yin Qi from them. Thompson and his companions glared at Yuan Dui with fury in their eyes. Seizing this opportunity, Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei joined forces with Mei Chuanqiong; they needed to gather together.
At this moment, Xiao Yefeng noticed something off about Thompson's gaze. After discussing briefly with Mo Fei and Mei Chuanqiong, he stepped forward to prepare for defense while the other two remained vigilant. This caution stemmed from Xiao Yefeng's realization that Yuan Dui harbored ill intentions as well; the Yin Qi around them thickened once again, clearly indicating impending danger.
"Eastern friend! You have angered me!" Thompson exclaimed as he flung off his suit jacket to reveal a pair of fitted golden gauntlets beneath it. The exquisite patterns on these gauntlets shimmered with a blood-red glow.
The other two followed suit but with less intensity in their gauntlet's glow. Meanwhile, Yuan Dui stood atop the Blood Dripping Tree without any intention of retreating; eerie energy rolled over his Azure Green Soul Banner as he cast glances at Thompson’s trio while also eyeing Xiao Yefeng and company.
However, Xiao Yefeng and his companions remained on high alert since he noticed Thompson's gaze drifting toward Mei Chuanqiong. Clearly, Dracula's Tooth held greater allure for him than Yuan Dui’s attack. At this moment, all three parties were locked in mutual hostility; although it seemed that Xiao Yefeng’s group would not be the focus of their combined assault, the situation was unexpectedly tense.
The one who broke the deadlock was Yuan Dui. Xiao Yefeng was well aware of Yuan Dui's capabilities; this guy was no pushover. With the Azure Green Soul Banner in hand, a mass of dark Evil Qi enveloped the entire Blood Dripping Tree. It was evident that the Blood Dripping Tree could amplify the Eerie Ghostly Aura. Xiao Yefeng sensed that Yuan Dui's cultivation level was similar to his own, both being at the threshold of Inner Force. Xiao Yefeng's False Spiritual Power and Yuan Xun's False Spiritual Power were about equal.
Xiao Yefeng couldn't cover his spiritual energy as densely as that, and neither could Yuan Dui. However, the fact that Yuan Dui could achieve this feat indicated that there was something wrong with the Blood Dripping Tree. The Eerie Ghostly Aura gradually spread, first enveloping three vampires before slowly extending towards Xiao Yefeng. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng exchanged glances with Mo Fei, and they both acted to push Mei Chuanqiong and Nangong Zhe out of the ghostly aura's range.
Mei Chuanqiong didn't expect the two to push him away, considering he was the highest-ranked Master of Hidden Strength among them. However, he also realized he couldn't join this battle; clearly, he needed to protect these two ordinary people, and he was still a target for the vampires. If he entered the fray, he would undoubtedly be attacked by Thompson and his companions.
With gritted teeth, Mei Chuanqiong picked up Mei Mo'er and turned to leave with Nangong Zhe. Just then, as they had just been pushed away, the ghostly aura enveloped the two of them, and their positions happened to be at the edge of this aura. It was clear that Yuan Dui had no intention of letting them go.
At this moment, Mo Fei stood back-to-back with Xiao Yefeng, wielding two Tang Dao in the thick black mist. Xiao Yefeng discovered that this black mist activated by the Azure Green Soul Banner could not be penetrated by his Yin-Yang Eye.
"Wind! Do you have any ideas?" Mo Fei asked nervously since Ancient Warriors weren't particularly adept at dealing with Feng Shui Techniques.
"What can I do! If it weren't for your Eight Trigrams Lantern earlier, I wouldn't have been able to break through Eight Demons Penetrating the Palace!" Xiao Yefeng shrugged.
"By the way, how did you know to bring the Kongming Lantern?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
"I don't know! The President told me to bring it. If it weren't for waiting for this Kongming Lantern, I would have come much earlier," Mo Fei replied.
"Oh! I see!" However, before Xiao Yefeng could finish speaking, he suddenly pushed Mo Fei aside and shouted loudly, "Heart!"
A blood-red light streaked past, narrowly missing Mo Fei's throat. The two had retreated just in time; however, their assailant revealed their position due to the attack.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be one of Thompson's subordinates. The intricately patterned iron gauntlet glowed red as a bloodthirsty light appeared. Just as they had evaded the attack, Xiao Yefeng sensed another ambush from behind.
Stepping back diagonally, Xiao Yefeng raised his nearly depleted submachine gun and fired all remaining bullets toward the rear. Sure enough, after a series of metallic clinks from collisions, a dark red light flickered out—another one of Thompson's subordinates was indeed trying to ambush him.
What a clever tactic! Previously, Thompson had directed all his hatred toward Yuan Dui. However, after Yuan Dui's attack covered him, he sent his subordinate to ambush Xiao Yefeng instead. It seemed that Dracula's Tooth held a significant allure for him.
At that moment, a chilling, spine-tingling laughter echoed from afar, sending shivers down Mo Fei's spine. He instinctively rubbed his arms and said to Xiao Yefeng, "Every time we deal with these Geomancers, I get goosebumps!"
Xiao Yefeng, however, lacked Mo Fei's comedic flair. He replied, "Fei Ge! This is serious; it seems like this isn't just ordinary ghostly energy. It resembles the Yin Soul Malevolence from the Underworld. Do you have any protective talismans?"
"Where am I supposed to get that? What is Yin Soul Malevolence?" Mo Fei began to channel his inner energy, and a faint golden light illuminated some areas in front of him from his Tang Dao.
"Yin Soul Malevolence is the ghostly essence from the Underworld; in other words, it's what ghosts breathe. It shouldn't exist in the mortal realm! It looks like Yuan Dui has some tricks up his sleeve; he actually opened the Yin Gate!" Xiao Yefeng explained.
After pricking his own finger and drawing blood, Xiao Yefeng placed a protective spell on Mo Fei's forehead. While his fingertip was still bleeding, he lightly brushed it against Mo Fei's dual blades, causing a red glow to flicker across the Blades. Seeing this transformation, Mo Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Divine Edge Spell?"
"You know quite a bit!" In the face of danger, Xiao Yefeng rarely joked around.
However, amidst their banter, both Xiao Yefeng and Mo Fei suddenly changed expressions. Xiao Yefeng swiftly drew a Flying Needle from his belt and hurled it towards Mo Fei's back. At the same time, Mo Fei flipped his Blade and struck at the malevolent spirit attacking Xiao Yefeng.
The two worked seamlessly together; however, Xiao Yefeng's Flying Needle lodged itself into a vampire's gauntlet while Mo Fei's dual blades severed the malevolent spirit. The initial situation had completely reversed; now both supernatural entities were focusing their attacks on Xiao Yefeng.
In this eerie black mist, the malevolent spirits seemed endless. Yet, Mo Fei grew bolder with each encounter. With his Blade spinning and bolstered by Xiao Yefeng's Divine Edge Spell, he fought against the spirits as if cutting through vegetables. Unfortunately, under the cover of the Yin Gate, the spirits were relentless. The Yin Gate opened by Yuan Dui was essentially a temporary prison for Evil Spirits; they could not reincarnate until their malice was purged. Some Evil Spirits resisted reincarnation altogether and refused to cleanse their negative energy after being captured by Yin Si.
Thus, they remained trapped together. Some Sorcerers had found ways to open this prison for Evil Spirits. Although these Evil Spirits were injured by the Divine Edge Spell, they were unrestrained beneath the Yin Gate and could immediately absorb Yin Soul Malevolence to heal themselves. They completely disregarded Mo Fei's attacks; while it appeared that Mo Fei had the upper hand, in reality, the Evil Spirits were merely toying with him.
