This was somewhat unusual.

Feng Yin also sensed that an air of perplexity lingered around the elder, impossible to dismiss.

At his side, Dong Tiesong and Dong Xiaoyan both seemed hesitant, as if they wanted to say something but were too embarrassed to speak up.

Finally, Dong Tiesong cleared his throat and said, “Ahem… Elder, last time you helped our young mistress remove the malevolent spirits… ahem… I wonder… ahem…”

At these words, Dong Xiaoyan’s eyes also brightened.

Feng Yin’s mind stirred: Malevolent spirits? These things can actually be removed?

Malevolent spirits, to some extent, are akin to what people commonly refer to as ‘karmic obstacles.’

From a cognitive perspective, anyone whose hands are stained with the blood of living beings will generate malevolent energy, also known as the entanglement of karmic obstacles.

Usually, such things cannot be eliminated.

To put it into a simpler example: it is like people who habitually kill pigs, those who make a living from butchery, especially butchers in dog meat shops; they all carry an inexplicable aura.

This aura is called malevolent energy, and there are many such individuals in our surroundings.

The characteristic appearance of these individuals is such that when others see them, they can’t help but feel that these people are fierce and difficult to get along with. Sometimes, even a brief encounter on the street can make one instinctively timid at heart.

In the martial arts world of the Anping Continent, this kind of entity is something that every Martial Artist has and exists within.

In the jianghu, it is inevitable to kill.

Once someone’s hands are tainted with human life, the resulting malevolent energy is much more apparent than from slaughtering livestock.

For martial cultivators, at the time of their ultimate ascent, which is the last step in basic cultivation knowledge, the breakthrough to Nine Colors supremacy, Thunder Tribulation will descend.

The malevolent energy on the cultivator’s body, mixed with the resentment of those who died unwillingly, will often erupt collectively during such times, forming backlash.

Unfortunately, that is often the most dangerous moment in a cultivator’s life, resulting in countless fallings.

The more one kills, the thicker the accumulation of malevolent energy, and the greater and fiercer the backlash faced during Thunder Tribulation.

There is also a belief that Thunder Tribulation for cultivators is a manifestation of personal virtue and fate; the more karmic obstacles accumulated in life, the more perilous the Thunder Tribulation, because

regardless of whether a cultivator can survive the Thunder Tribulation, the malevolent energy will disappear at that time.

Therefore, the more profound the cultivation, the more wary they become of their malevolent energy and karmic obstacles.

Conversely, out of fear for the malevolent energy and karmic obstacles, cultivators have exhausted their thoughts in trying to remove malevolent energy, and countless men of talent have achieved some success after numerous attempts…

In fact, the more accomplished the great cultivator is, the more sensitive they become to such malevolent energy and can even use their own cultivation as a medium to absorb the malevolent energy from someone else onto themselves.

However, such practice undeniably increases the difficulty of their own tribulation, and basically, no one would do so;

Because even if they know that their own tribulation is hopeless, and want to use this as a favor to gain protection for their descendants, the excessive amount of malevolent energy on them can reduce their lifespan and after death, the malevolent energy that enters the earth still influences the fortunes of their descendants.

This explanation, although esoteric, is indeed a reality. How could the entanglement and constraints of cause and effect be so easily outwitted?

Feng Yin couldn’t help but mutter inwardly, could it be that this Official Shi actually dared to take the risk to remove malevolent energy for someone?

Upon hearing Dong Tiesong’s words, Official Shi’s white eyebrows twitched and he showed a hint of hesitation, then immediately looked up at Dong Xiaoyan.

Dong Xiaoyan coughed lightly, her face tinged with embarrassment, and spoke respectfully, “Last time thanks to the elder’s grace, Xiaoyan truly benefited greatly…”

She slightly bit her lip, saying, “My…my elder brother… in terms of talent and aptitude, he is not less than me… If Official Shi is willing to help, to assist in removing the malevolent energy from my brother… may I know, Official Shi, what are your thoughts? This time, you only need to remove the malevolent energy from…from my brother alone. That would be most kind.”

As Dong Xiaoyan spoke, her pretty face gradually flushed with a rouge, evidently embarrassed.

Indeed, rather than feeling shy, it was more appropriate to say that she felt ashamed.

With Dong Xiaoyan’s current level of cultivation, she was naturally aware of the pros and cons of malevolent energy, and even if Official Shi had the means to remove it and did not fear the consequences, it would still have some impact on him.

Besides, it was right after she had just agreed to help him that she made the request, which went somewhat against the grain of “exploiting kindness for a favor.”

For the straightforward and candid Xiaoyan, this was naturally somewhat embarrassing.

However, for the sake of Feng Yin, Dong Xiaoyan felt she could not miss this opportunity and thus went all out.

After all, in today’s world, only a very few people possess the means to remove malevolent energy, and perhaps Official Shi is the only one willing to do it for others. With such an opportunity at hand, even though Xiaoyan knew it wasn’t proper, she still spoke up, all for Feng Yin, for her him!

What does it matter to lose a little face or suffer embarrassment for the sake of her man’s life?

Official Shi’s gaze covertly swept across Dong Xiaoyan’s face, then shifted to Feng Yin’s face, before retracting his gaze and falling into thought.

Dong Tiesong coughed, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
