Chapter 540: Chapter 99_3

"You..."

Tan Wenbin’s chest heaved with urgency, and then he thought of something, immediately rushing to his backpack and pulling out a set of talisman needles prepared by Brother Xiao Yuan.

Brother Xiao Yuan had explained how to use them, and it was easy to understand because it was brutally simple.

But he couldn’t care about anything else now, grandma was already gone, and someone from his side had to go too.

"I’m sorry, Ah You!"

Tan Wenbin stood next to Lin Shuyou, grabbed two Sealing Talisman Needles in each hand, and in one breath, inserted two at the front and two at the back, all at once.

The Sealing Talisman’s function was to seal evil spirits; Alii drew these talismans because in Li Zhiyuan’s description, he drew curses by hand to seal a small black snake inside the Compass.

After the four Sealing Talisman Needles were inserted, Lin Shuyou, whose body was about to collapse, suddenly stiffened, and his pupils that were about to disperse reverted to vertical slits.

This sealed the White Crane Child, who was about to leave, back into the body, preventing it from escaping.

Tan Wenbin then took out four Evil-breaking Talisman Needles and directly inserted them!

The Evil-breaking Talisman served to expel and destroy evil spirits. Although officials are under the Womb of the Earth Bodhisattva, their previous forms were either demons or the Ghost King, and their existence was not much different from evil spirits.

First sealing the pot, then stoking the fire amounts to searing the White Crane Child internally within Lin Shuyou.

Tan Wenbin could only marvel in his heart: As expected of my Brother Yuanzi, to think of such a brutal method of enhancement.

A large area of fresh blood seeped from Lin Shuyou’s skin, and from his seven orifices, black mist sprayed out and then recirculated.

Even with his face painted, the twisting of his entire face could still be clearly seen.

The White Crane Child turned his head and while looking at Tan Wenbin, reached out, grasped Tan Wenbin’s neck, and lifted him up.

Feet off the ground, breathing difficult, Tan Wenbin nevertheless raised his hand, pointing in the southwest direction.

There lay the direction where the evil spirit had fled.

The vertical pupils of the White Crane Child turned red, for the first time, hesitating between killing the man before him and chasing the evil spirit.

As an official, it was the first time since he had descended through divination that he was treated this way.

This was no longer mere disrespect, it was treating him like an animal, whipping him severely even after exhaustion.

How dare they?

But in the end, duty and integrity prevailed over emotions, and the White Crane Child let go of his hand.

Tan Wenbin fell to the ground, his hands clutching his neck as he coughed violently.

Then, the White Crane Child’s figure flickered and alternated quickly, speeding towards the southwest.

Tan Wenbin watched his disappearing figure,

and remarked:

"Cough, cough, cough...truly, that was seriously effective."

...

While running, the Blood Man beneath tried several times to stretch her arms, attempting to grasp her own back.

But each time she attempted this, Li Zhiyuan would intensify the Karmic Fire, making her suffer more and forcing her to desist.

Besides, Li Zhiyuan continued using the methods from Wei Zhengdao’s Black Book to try and control her. Though unsuccessful, it still disturbed her thoughts, keeping her immersed in a frenzied state.

At the same time, he also accessed some fragmented memories.

In the memory scenes, he saw Granny Yu meeting the young woman covered in mud, her hands almost rotten, saw the woman pick up a clay pot to serve, saw Granny Yu teaching the woman the method of fallen love clay doll, saw the woman helping to shape the clay doll and repairing it day in and day out for decades.

Some scenes were very dark, appearing frequently, and always at night when the woman was sleeping, black qi would flow out from the clay doll, slowly infiltrating through the woman’s breath.

By that time, the transformation and control over the woman had already begun.

Combining this with the fact that over many years, Granny Yu had only passed down one fallen love clay doll and one Array Diagram, it’s evident that Granny Yu was wary of this worshipper.

The old woman’s nearly lifelong devout service seemed like unilateral devotion.

The memory scenes only started after she surfaced again; there were none from before, and memory got stratified here. No matter how Li Zhiyuan tried, he couldn’t break through this barrier, and thus couldn’t completely control or modify the deeper memories.

Ahead was the reservoir.

She wanted to return to the water.

This way, at the very least, she could change her location and start over.

Li Zhiyuan raised his head; no matter what, he couldn’t let her return to the water.

Since I can’t control you, then I will disturb you.

Soon, in the frenzied consciousness of Granny Yu, the voice of her worshipper, the old woman, kept ringing:

"You’re running the wrong way, it’s in the northeast direction!"

"Quickly head to the northeast, the reservoir is ahead!"

"Hurry up, that’s your only chance!"

These voices were all implanted by Li Zhiyuan.

Blind, Granny Yu lost her precise perception of the outside world and upon hearing these directives, she stopped in her tracks, turning to face the northeast.

Success.

Yet even so, Li Zhiyuan had to admit, this creature was truly difficult to kill.

A normal person’s soul exposed to this kind of Karmic Fire would instantly perish, yet this one had endured so long and still had vitality left to spare.

No wonder the Dragon King from the Qin Liu families couldn’t completely kill her back then. Being hard to kill was a skill in its own right.

But I refuse to believe you can keep enduring.

Li Zhiyuan, though tired by now, was far from depleted, especially since he had persisted in breath practice and his spirit was also strengthened under Alii’s training.
