44: Destroying Evil Spirits 44: Destroying Evil Spirits Editor: _Lunaelle, The_Dreamweavers Although the courtyard was located within the city, it was sealed off by a confinement barrier.
Outsiders had no idea what was happening inside.
Thanks to Peter’s infusion of True Qi, Bennett started to recover slowly.
His eyes widened in terror at the evil spirits, and his teeth chattered incessantly.
He had never encountered anything before.
Reuben was in a similar state, his legs trembling so much he could barely stand.
It took quite a while for Reuben to finish the sentence.
Peter said, “Don’t worry, you both have protective talismans!”
“Taoist friend, please help!”
At this moment, Master Wilson raised his voice toward Peter’s direction.
He now realized that the situation was grave, and the evil spirits were beyond his capacity to handle.
Peter did not refuse.
He gently patted the two men and said, “Stay here.
As he spoke, Peter entered the scene.
In fact, Peter was also encountering such a powerful evil spirit for the first time, and he was unsure if he could handle it either.
However, his sense of justice surged when he saw so many evil spirits present.
He thought that together with Master Wilson, they should be able to hold their ground.
“You dare to provoke me, foolish mortal!”
This evil spirit had clearly gained wisdom, as it could now speak.
As it finished speaking, more evil spirits appeared, screeching sharply at Peter.
“Taoist friend, this evil spirit has gained wisdom.
Master Wilson had expected a strong ally but was somewhat disappointed to see such a young man.
However, considering the current situation, he had no choice but to rely on Peter for help.
At this moment, a large number of evil spirits pounced at Peter, seemingly trying to engulf him.
Both hands in motion, Peter threw out the jade talismans he had been holding.
Upon throwing them, Peter instantly activated them with his True Qi.
Indeed, the jade talismans proved to be much faster than the ones written on the spot with a Talisman brush.
In an instant, the jade talismans exploded in the air.
As the jade talismans exploded, mournful screams rang out, and the evil spirits disappeared in an instant.
Master Wilson stared at Peter wide-eyed.
Although he could write yellow talismans, they paled in comparison to jade talismans, which were much more potent due to a different method of creation.
Peter had no time to focus on Master Wilson’s surprise.
After slaying a large number of evil spirits and gaining confidence, Peter charged towards the largest evil spirit.
Visibly alarmed by Peter’s tactics, the intelligent evil spirit’s eyes flickered, and its sharp claws reached for Peter.
This time, Peter threw a fire talisman directly into the evil spirit’s mouth, which exploded with his True Qi’s activation.
At that moment, everyone witnessed the evil spirit emit a mournful scream before dissipating into nothingness.
With a few more talismans thrown out, the evil spirits had been completely annihilated.
Only then did Master Wilson let out a sigh of relief.
Turning to Peter, he said, “If it weren’t for your help today, the situation would have been disastrous.
If these evil spirits had been allowed to grow, it would have spelled significant trouble!”
Peter glanced at Master Wilson and said, “Indeed.
If the evil spirit devoured you, it could instantly turn into a savage spirit, which would pose a severe problem.”
Master Wilson knew he had met an expert today and nodded slightly, asking, “Where did you cultivate your skills, friend?
Why haven’t I seen you before?”
I didn’t cultivate anywhere special.
I just came to watch you slay evil spirits tonight,” Peter replied.
Master Wilson was shocked, finding it hard to believe that a farmer could be so powerful.
He immediately assumed that Peter might belong to a secluded clan.
“Thank you for saving my life, my friend!”
Master Wilson performed a respectful bow.
“Peter, where are the spirits now?” Reuben and Bennett nervously approached, scanning the surroundings.
Master Wilson initially thought that they were some experts, but upon seeing them, he was dumbfounded.
It was clear they were just regular mortals.
Baffled, Master Wilson’s thoughts shifted as he yearned to know Peter’s background, and he asked, “May I know where you live, my friend?”
“We are from Sunshine Province, Rivertown County.
Peter is from Flower Creek Village,” Reuben Taylor promptly revealed Peter’s residence.
Master Wilson secretly took note of Peter’s address.
Peter asked, “What do you think of the feng shui pattern here, Master Wilson?”
Master Wilson replied, “It’s quite strange.
There shouldn’t be such powerful evil spirits here.
It feels like the feng shui pattern has gathered evil spirits from the entire city, which is unusual.”
Upon hearing this, Peter knew that Master Wilson only had a superficial understanding of feng shui and wasn’t aware that this was a much larger feng shui pattern.
Peter pointed at a nearby building and said, “Have you looked at that building, Master Wilson?”
Master Wilson replied, “After that building was constructed, the courtyard lost its Yang energy.
It must be problematic.”
Peter said, “There should be a formation inside that building.
Master Wilson was taken aback and nodded solemnly.
Peter looked at the two men following him and said, “You two should leave first.
There might still be even more powerful evil spirits here.
Bennett quickly pulled Reuben along and said, “Alright, we’re heading outside.” Bennett no longer dared to stay here.
The events that transpired felt like a dream to him.
It was then that Peter saw the two police officers who had fainted on the ground.
He smiled and said, “Master Wilson, you should let them leave too.”
After Master Wilson slapped each of their foreheads, the two police officers woke up.
The panicked look in their eyes returned when they looked at Peter and the others.
“You both should leave.”
Master Wilson had initially wanted to come alone, but these two self-proclaimed ghost hunters insisted on joining him, leading to this current situation.
After the four had left, Master Wilson looked at Peter and said, “Nowadays, anything can happen.
Many people still don’t believe in the existence of ghosts and spirits.”
Peter chuckled, “Curiosity often gets people killed.”
As they talked, they walked towards the small building.
