Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Solution

The moment the talisman was affixed to her head, Lin Xing felt a sinister aura surge out from Zhao Wanxi’s body, violently assaulting the talisman paper.

With a series of crisp crackling sounds, the talisman paper gradually aged and cracked until it suddenly shattered.

Watching this scene, Lin Xing narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "This woman has an evil spirit inside her."

"Because it’s usually suppressed by the talisman on her shoulder, it hasn’t revealed itself, not even yesterday."

"However, as the talisman on her shoulder gradually dissipates, the evil spirit inside her has begun to affect the outside world. Could this be the real reason she attracts evil spirits or even is fated as a calamitous lone star?"

While Lin Xing was thinking this, he suddenly noticed Zhao Wanxi’s brows furrow slightly.

So, Lin Xing asked, "Did the talisman just now make you uncomfortable?"

Before Zhao Wanxi could reply, Zhao Tianlong interjected, "Did the Master’s talisman take effect? As long as it can suppress her calamitous lone star, a little pain is nothing, she can endure it, right, Wan’er?"

Zhao Wanxi nodded and gave a soft hum in agreement.

Lin Xing frowned and said, "It’s not about whether she can endure it or not. If the Evil Suppression Talisman harms her, it means she has become one with the evil spirit inside her."

Lin Xing thought of the elder who had died alongside the evil land during the exorcism at Wang Family Town.

He felt that Zhao Wanxi might be in a similar state.

Zhao Tianlong asked, "Does that mean if the evil spirit dies, she will also die? And if she dies, will the fate of the calamitous lone star still affect her family members?"

Lin Xing was slightly taken aback and shook his head, "I don’t understand fate, I only know she has an evil spirit inside her."

Disappointment was evident on Zhao Tianlong’s face as he asked again, "If the young lady leaves this place, moving far from friends and family, will her fate still affect the family?"

Lin Xing pondered over the Evil Suppression Talisman left by Huang Feng and the abnormalities that began to appear as it dissipated...

Lin Xing said, "I suspect this so-called fate of the calamitous lone star might be related to the evil spirit inside her."

"If the distance is far enough, the evil spirit isn’t infinitely powerful and probably won’t affect people far away."

"Of course, this is just my guess, I cannot guarantee the results."

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Tianlong sighed, "These days, the world is in chaos, who would willingly take a calamitous lone star like her to a distant land? If she travels alone, I fear she might encounter danger within days..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xing’s eyes lit up, and he said, "I am actually planning to travel northward, and I can take her with me along the way."

Zhao Tianlong hesitated, "Are you not afraid of being overcome by the fate of the calamitous lone star?"

Lin Xing waved his hand and said, "I have my ways of resisting the impact of the calamitous lone star."

The method Lin Xing thought of was naturally brute resistance, and he was curious how many times the calamitous lone star could defeat him.

However, the hesitation in Zhao Tianlong’s eyes grew stronger.

Should he let Lin Xing suppress the evil spirit even though it might result in Zhao Wanxi’s death?

Or should he let Lin Xing take her far away?

Until after Lin Xing had left, Zhao Tianlong still hadn’t given a response.

When Lin Xing returned to his room, he found that someone had already been waiting there.

It was Master Kongchan, who had battled the evil spirit with him that night.

Upon seeing Lin Xing’s return, Master Kongchan came forward for a cordial exchange, expressing his gratitude and had brought along his disciple, Niu San, to give thanks as well.

Lin Xing looked at Niu San and felt that he seemed somewhat dim and wooden today.

Before leaving, Master Kongchan promised Lin Xing, "If you need help in the future, you can always come to find me in Jiangyang Province."

Bai Yiyi’s voice echoed in Lin Xing’s mind, "This bald monk is truly stingy, always talking nicely without any real gratitude in his hands."

Jiangyang Province was located in the southwest, and among the nine major sects, Da Guangming Temple was in Jiangyang Province.

Master Kongchan sighed lightly, "There’s news that a gang of strongmen has emerged in Jiangyang Province. Relying on their sharp firearms, they oppose Da Guangming Temple. It’s said that the power of their firearms surpasses that of the Xingxiao Sect, causing unrest within the province. I cannot rest assured and thus plan to return to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xing’s eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, ’Surpassing the Xingxiao Sect? Could they be people from the present world? But those from the present world wouldn’t cause ’unrest within the province’ typically.’

Lin Xing, curious, asked Master Kongchan a few more questions, but unfortunately, this place was too far from Jiangyang Province, and even Master Kongchan didn’t know much.

Master Kongchan sighed again, "Originally, I planned to return to Jiangyang Province after exorcising the evil forces for the Commander, but now it seems I’ll need to recuperate for a while longer."

Not long after, Commander Zhao’s butler stealthily came to Lin Xing’s room.

"Master, Commander Zhao asks whether after suppressing the evil spirit in Miss’s body, whether she’s dead or alive, is it certain that she’s no longer influenced by the Lonely Star of Evil Killing?"

Lin Xing’s gaze shifted as he said, "Perhaps."

The butler grew anxious, "How can this be a ’perhaps’?"

Lin Xing shrugged his shoulders, for he truly wasn’t sure.

The next night, the butler came again under the cover of darkness.

He solemnly said to Lin Xing, "The Commander asks you to do your best to completely resolve Miss’s Lonely Star of Evil Killing fate."

"As long as the Lonely Star of Evil Killing’s fate is resolved, even if Miss dies, you won’t be blamed."

That very night, the butler took Lin Xing to a secluded room.

A young girl lay quietly on the bed, appearing to be in a deep sleep.

Late at night, the butler hurried to Zhao Tianlong’s room.

He saw Zhao Tianlong had not yet gone to sleep, quietly sitting at his desk, looking at a book in his hands.

However, that book hadn’t been turned to a new page for hours.

After glancing at the butler who entered the room, Zhao Tianlong asked indifferently, "How is it?"

The butler softly said, "Miss has passed away."

Zhao Tianlong was slightly stunned, "I understand, you may go now."

"Wait."

Just as the butler turned and was leaving, he heard the words and immediately turned back to ask, "Does the Commander have any further instructions?"

"What about the body?"

The butler replied, "It has been completely destroyed."

After a long pause, Zhao Tianlong sighed, "Give her a dignified burial... and let no word of this leak."

The next day, the news that Miss Zhao had died from a severe illness spread throughout the entire city.

Various rumors followed.

Some said Miss Zhao died from being possessed by an evil spirit.

Others said Miss Zhao had hanged herself.

Still others said that in Miss Zhao’s coffin, there were only her clothes and cap, with no body to be found.

The rumors gradually subsided following Miss Zhao’s burial.

Until Commander Zhao’s Wuding Army and New Ocean Army started a new great war, gradually no one cared anymore about what the real truth behind Miss Zhao’s story was.

It was as if such a person had never existed in this city.
