this; at first, upon seeing Zhang Dahuai for the first time, Xiao Yu was too excited to pay attention but now looking more carefully, he discovered that in less than two months, Zhang Dahuai had cult...Chapter 623

"Haha..." Seeing this scene, Wang Haiyang and the others burst into loud laughter. They now held a significant advantage; these ghosts hadn't even approached them, yet they had been beaten to pieces.

Their hearts were brimming with excitement at the moment. Initially worried when they sensed the thick Yin煞 energy here, their worries gradually faded as they saw the ghosts dissipating after being attacked, and some of them even lost control due to this.

These ghosts completely ignored their own disintegration, screaming and charging towards Wang Haiyang and the others repeatedly. However, Wang Haiyang and the others' talismans and wooden swords kept these ghosts at bay.

Every time their talismans flashed or their wooden swords moved with a surge of天地元氣 (Heavenly Earth Primordial Energy), striking towards the ghosts, the ghosts would become fainter by a fraction.

They were initially concerned but didn't expect the ghosts to be so easy to deal with. As such, upon seeing this situation, their actions sped up as they sought to establish dominance in this small circle.

"Aaaah..." When their actions quickened, these ghosts immediately let out piercing cries of anguish.

Seeing them battling the ghosts, Xiao Yu shook his head helplessly. Wang Haiyang and the others were early-stage cultivators, but their methods were rather limited. If it was before the great calamity, ghosts like this would likely be wiped out instantly!

But now They actually engaged in protracted battles with these ghosts. It's worth noting that dealing with ordinary ghosts using their current strength wouldn't require such effort.

This situation clearly showed how limited modern cultivators' methods were. If they reached the middle stage of cultivation, it would be better since many methods could then be utilized.

After all, the society now had a thin layer of天地元氣 (Heavenly Earth Primordial Energy). Methods that should have been available in the early stage of cultivation weren't usable until they reached the middle stage. The early-stage cultivators mostly used some rudimentary methods.

Without the primordial qi of heaven and earth, even talismans cannot unleash their full power. To understand this, one must know that for these talismans to be effective, they need to absorb the surrounding primordial qi during activation; however, in today's society, such primordial qi is scarce, making absorption impossible despite attempts. Furthermore, their initial-stage cultivation techniques are significantly inferior to those of mid-stage cultivators, further reducing the effectiveness of the talismans.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu froze and then his expression changed dramatically as he abruptly stood up from the darkness and stared intently at the building before him.

It turned out that just moments ago, a violent surge of bloody qi had erupted from within the building, sweeping towards Wang Haiyang and his companions. However, they were completely unaware and only laughed wildly while staring at these ordinary ghosts.

In an instant, this surge of bloody qi engulfed Wang Haiyang and his group, and it was not until then that their faces revealed fear. But before they could react, each one collapsed to the ground unconscious.

"Swiftly as law commands... Hasten!" Upon seeing the bloody qi and the fallen people, Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically; he waved his hands in mid-air and chanted incantations. Then with a loud shout, he pushed forward with both hands.

Just then, these individuals engulfed by the bloody qi were showing signs of their souls being pulled out from within them. The soul is the essence of a person; if it's pulled out, death would be inevitable. This is why Xiao Yu acted so suddenly.

The moment Xiao Yu spoke, an invisible wave accompanied by immense power surged towards that bloody qi.

Upon sensing this wave, the bloody qi decisively abandoned these individuals' souls and quickly retracted into a tight ball.

"Boom..." When this wave clashed with the bloody qi in mid-air, there was a sudden muffled explosion. Following it, flames appeared out of nowhere, tightly enveloping the blood light.

"Sizzle..." As soon as the bloody qi was enclosed by these flames, it emitted soft sounds; wisps of white fog rose from within and spread into the air. The flames gradually diminished in size, and the bloody qi inside was burnt down to nothing until both disappeared simultaneously.

Seeing this flaming light vanish while the yin煞qi (yin malevolent energy) from that building showed no signs of weakening, not even a hint of reduction in the bloody qi within the dark clouds, Xiao Yu felt alarmed and stepped forward towards the building.

Upon encountering the swirling mass of malevolent dark clouds, Xiao Yu didn’t hesitate to step into it. At his current level of strength, these oppressive Yin煞 energies would have no effect on him whatsoever. Therefore, he entered without any reservations.

Xiao Yu stepped into the swirling Yin煞 black clouds but instead of heading into the building, he walked over and dragged each unconscious person out of the cloud. Such a thick concentration of Yin煞 energy could severely harm these people if they were to stay inside for too long; thus, Xiao Yu's first act upon entering was to drag them all out.

"Aaaaao... " Just as Xiao Yu started pulling these people out, several strange and eerie shrill sounds suddenly echoed from within the building.

Upon hearing these shrill sounds, Xiao Yu’s hands fluttered gracefully, forming numerous intricate symbols. Rather than hurling them in the direction of the sound, he threw them towards the unconscious figures on the ground.

The moment these intangible symbols landed on their bodies, a glimmer of golden light flashed across their skin, as if enveloping them in an invisible protective layer that shielded them from the oppressive Yin煞 energy. Any Yin煞 energy coming close to their bodies would instantly be absorbed by this imperceptible layer of golden light.

Seeing that these people were now safe, Xiao Yu walked into the building.

A few moments after Xiao Yu entered the building, Liu Zongyuan slowly opened his eyes, his face showing a look of shock. He reached up to touch his neck and felt a jade amulet; it shattered immediately upon contact. This jade amulet was left by his grandfather as protection for his soul. Although he had fainted earlier, his jade talisman blocked the bloodlight energy trying to absorb their souls, thus causing him to regain consciousness in his unconscious state.

When he tried to get up, he noticed a sudden flash of talisman fire appear in mid-air and knew that someone was here. He lay still without moving.

However, when he saw it was Xiao Yu, his heart clenched tightly. He had always believed that Xiao Yu was just a coward who hadn’t even entered the world of spiritual practices; now he couldn't believe how powerful Xiao Yu actually was.

Furthermore, he had witnessed Xiao Yu’s actions clearly and though he didn't understand what was happening with the symbols in his hands, he could feel the changes around him very distinctly. This left him feeling extremely shocked.

After a while, he also heard those shrill sounds and then cautiously opened his eyes to see that Xiao Yu had already entered the building.

Only after Xiao Yu entered the building did he stand up and drag Wang Haiyang and all the others out of the range affected by the malevolent Yin energy.

After pulling these people out, he finally let out a long sigh of relief, staring at the building in shock. The situation just now had almost scared him to death. As a cultivator of Qi Refiner realm and an expert in Qimen discipline, he shouldn't have been so fearful. However, when he thought about the overwhelmingly bloody煞氣just now, his heart started trembling.

The blood aura had easily rendered them unconscious without any resistance just now. But then he immediately remembered Xiao Yu entering the building and the strange circumstances there, quickly pulling out his phone to call his father.

His father is Liu Chang, the head of the Liu family, a Qi Refiner in the middle stage and also the first expert of the Liu family. At this moment, his father was meditating in a villa at the holiday resort. Upon hearing Liu Zongyuan's call, he suddenly stood up and went out.

He didn't know many people in Sichuan Province, let alone Wang Haiyang and other families there. Although he couldn't see what had happened, upon hearing that just a blood aura's pressure could shatter the jade talisman around his neck into pieces, he knew it wasn't simple.

That piece of jade talisman was made by his grandfather to protect future generations from danger. Later on, when it passed down to his father, instead of giving it to him, his father gave it to Liu Zongyuan so that he could use it to protect himself. Now that the talisman had shattered under the pressure from the blood aura, Liu Chang knew something was amiss and thus didn't go alone but went to find Wang Haiyang.

Soon after, people's voices began ringing in what used to be a quiet villa complex. Wang Haichuan, an elderly man from the Wang family, Li Shiqing, and the elders of Wang Jie and Zhang Ling were heading towards cars parked on the square.

Their presence alone was reason enough for the Wang Family not to let anything happen to them; these people had come to their territory for a gathering. If something happened to them, it wouldn't matter much, but damaging the reputation of the Wang Family would be a big issue. Therefore, even though he felt that his fourth uncle didn't need to be involved in this matter after what happened to him, Wang Haichuan still considered calling on his assistance to ensure the safety of these youngsters since Liu Chang had warned them about the severity.

After getting into the car, they headed towards Chengdu City. Meanwhile, the families of Wang Jie and Zhang Ling were very anxious because their descendants were there and now unconscious.

Wang Haiyang was a descendant from a branch family of the Wang Family; even though he had a certain status within the family, it wasn't enough to influence things. But Wang Haichuan's fourth uncle and Li Shiqing sat in the car looking very composed.g good people.
