This all happened so quickly that everyone had no time to react, and they also had no experience dealing with evil spirits.
Lin Yi, however, was on guard all along, holding an Exorcism Charm Scroll that had been activated in advance. Seeing this scene, he directly shot the already activated exorcism charm, a surge of Pure Yang Qi, hitting the greyish entity, making the evil spirit emit a painful scream, constantly shrinking and transforming.
Upon seeing this, Meng Le Min hurriedly held up his already activated Exorcism Charm, driving the evil spirits back into the body of the Spirit Farmer, and finally placing this Exorcism Charm on his forehead.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving my life.” The nearby Spirit Farmer, his face pale with fear, quickly expressed his gratitude to Lin Yi after recovering his senses.
“Don’t mention it. I’m rather timid and scared of death, so I was preparing in advance. I didn’t expect this evil spirit to attack so suddenly.” Lin Yi waved his hand, also looking somewhat shaken.
“Thank you, Brother Lin. Everyone be careful, these evil spirits are even more dreadful than we imagined,” Meng Le Min cupped his fist towards Lin Yi and then reminded everyone.
The brawny Spirit Farmer’s face was even angrier, and he pounded the evil spirit with his fists. But the spiritual power of the Exorcism Charm on his hand was rapidly weakening.
Although sticking the Exorcism Charm on one’s body also had the effect of warding off evil spirits, it could only last a very short time. Moreover, it was so expensive that it’s unrealistic to keep sticking Exorcism Charms on the body.
Under the bombardment of fists enveloped in Pure Yang Qi, the possessed evil spirit let out a series of painful screams, and some smoke rose from its body, as though being burnt.
Soon, the spiritual light on the Exorcism Charm disappeared completely, and the evil spirit was beaten until it was left with just a breath. Lin Yi quickly pulled the brawny Spirit Farmer, who was getting carried away, back , pretending to be using a Rebirth Charm for the first time, and activating the talisman fairly clumsily, stammering as he recited the Rebirth Incantation.
A spiritual light flashed on the Rebirth Charm Scroll, slowly covering the body in front of them.
Smoke started to emerge from within the body, slowly dissolving under the spiritual light of the Rebirth Charm and becoming transparent.
Then, under everyone’s Spirit Wood Technique, a transparent stranger held his fist to them in salute, dissolved into spiritual light and vanished. At this time, the Rebirth Charm continued to function, dispersing the black smoke that appeared within the body.
Since the original owner of the body hadn’t turned into an evil spirit, no transparent body appeared under the function of the Rebirth Charm.
After the black fog within the body completely dissipated, Lin Yi saw the pop-up prompt in front of him, earning him two Virtue Points.
“Alas, these are all innocent people. Damn evil spirits, who knows who orchestrated this disaster.” Meng Le Min said angrily, the scale of this evil spirit outbreak was too large to have occurred naturally, there was definitely a mastermind behind it.
One of the patrolling Spirit Farmers shook his head, “We’ll just have to wait for the sect to investigate. At least no further incidents have occurred in our Bing Section area in the past few days.”
“Don’t worry, my fellow stewards and I have reported the situation in the Outer Sect Spiritual Field Area to the sect. I expect the sect will send people over soon,” Meng Le Min waved his hand. The sect would not just sit back and let their Spirit Farmers fend for themselves.
“Thank you, Director Meng, thank you, fellow disciples, for saving me. You all continue with your patrol, I won’t disturb you any further.” Lin Yi, still a little shaken, patted his chest and saluted Meng Le Min and the others.
At this point, Meng Le Min spoke: “Brother Lin, do you still have any Rebirth Charms? How about joining the patrol team? The consumption of your talisman scrolls for liberating these innocent people will be reported to the sect, and perhaps they will compensate you. Also, we will protect your safety.”
Lin Yi pretended to hesitate for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I have a few Rebirth Charms left, I’ll leave them to you. I’m afraid I’d slow you down if I joined the patrol team, excuse me.”
He took out a few Rebirth Charms from his body, handed them to Meng Le Min, then said goodbye and left. Being on his own was more liberating. If he encountered an evil spirit, he would either run or fight as he wished. Joining a patrol team would bring restrictions.
The next day, in response to the severity of the demonic incursions in the Outer Sect, the Liu Yun Sect decided to dispatch the Inner Sect Disciples who had returned from Qing Yun City to form an Evil Extermination Patrol Team.
They were to be stationed in the various Spiritual Field Planting Districts of the Outer Sect to prepare for a cleansing operation against these demonic
creatures.
At this time, it was rumored that the battles inside Qing Yun City was nearing its end. Through days of fighting, the Cloud Sect had cycled through several batches of disciples, giving many of them experience battling these demonic creatures. But of course, the losses were also heavy.
That morning, many Outer Sect Disciples on the mountain witnessed a terrifying scene in Qing Yun City. A gigantic demonic creature rose from within the city bearing the faces of people, contorted and struggling. It was extremely horrifying, inciting intense fear in the hearts of a large number of still-living Spirit Farmers.
Lin Yi’s expression was solemn. The demonic creature was much more terrifying than he had imagined – it could even merge together! Throwing a Grandmaster-Level Exorcism Charm at such a large creature was merely like tickling it.
However, a golden sword light shot out from within the Inner Sect of Liu Yun Sect towards Qing Yun City. Countless golden lights erupted in the sky above the city and the huge demonic creature quickly turned to ashes under the sword light.
This scene not only startled a multitude of Spirit Farmers, it was also followed by a wave of cheering. After Qing Yun City had been cleansed, the Liu Yun Sect would surely focus its resources to eradicate the demonic creatures from the Outer Sect.
Watching these golden lights, Lin Yi’s heart was full of yearning. Was this the strength of a Golden Core Real Person (person’s title)? It was simply terrifyingly strong.
In the afternoon, three Inner Sect Disciples arrived at the Bing Section of the Mystical Fields’ Cultivation Area. They summoned the stewards of the surrounding Spiritual Field areas and announced a new rule: apart from the patrol team, no Spirit Farmers were allowed out at night – otherwise, they would be treated as demonic creatures and killed immediately.
Meanwhile, they asked each area’s steward to recruit two Spirit Farmers who had encountered demonic creatures to join the patrol team. Contributors would be awarded based on merit.
After all, they were Inner Sect Disciples. They couldn’t be expected to take on the dirty and tedious work of cleanup after exterminating the demonic creatures. Additionally, if they encountered a high-level demonic creature, the Spirit Farmers could be useful in buying some time.
Meng Le Min summoned all the Spirit Farmers who had seen a demonic creature and selected two among them. However, he flat out ignored Lin Yi, not even sparing him a glance.
Lin Yi was happy to be left out, as he knew that the situations in other Spiritual Field areas were severe. He didn’t know how far the demonic creatures might have evolved. In his opinion, risking so much for Virtue Points was not worth it.
However, by dusk, a sword light flew past and landed in the Bing Section area it was Li Yuan Qing, who had come back from exterminating evil in Qing Yun City. Upon spotting him, the three Inner Sect Disciples quickly saluted him with a fist and bow.
With an emotionless expression, Li Yuan Qing examined the patrol team. He dismissed more than half of them and personally selected a few others, including Lin Yi.
This time, Lin Yi was more than willing to join. With Li Yuan Qing, the Qing Yun City Evil Exterminator Vanguard, he no longer had to worry about any safety issues.
At night, under Li Yuan Qing’s lead, the patrol team began its cleansing operation. It was then that everyone truly realized how terrifying the demonic creatures were. After absorbing nutrients from cultivators, the demonic creatures had become weirder.
They could possess scarecrows or trees, using branches to entangle people to the point they couldn’t detect it, and could not escape – even their Spiritual Power could not be used. Sometimes, even a household dog or chicken could be possessed by a demonic creature.
Only then did Lin Yi discover that even the Bing Section area he had cleansed still held a few deeply-hidden demonic creatures. They hid within poultry to develop gradually. This caused him to feel a bit frightened and he inwardly ridiculed them, “Such cowardly behavior, how can they even be called demonic creatures?”
He was responsible for performing Rebirth Mantras in the patrol team. At his suggestion, Li Yuan Qing no longer directly exterminated the demonic creatures. Instead, Li would severely injure them before Lin Yi performed the Rebirth Mantra.
Two days later, with the participation of Foundation Building cultivators, the entire Outer Sect Area was completely swept clean, returning to its usual tranquility.
Lin Yi also reaped a considerable reward. Following behind Li Yuan Qing, he conducted Rebirth Mantras on nearly two hundred demonic creatures, including several higher-level ones, netting a total of over two hundred Virtue
Points..
