At this moment, Li Qingyu felt ashamed and could not suppress his fear. His admiration for Master Mo was like a torrential river that flowed endlessly.
At this moment, it did not look good for the others.
Indeed, there were many snakes, insects, rats, and ants on the ground.
They gathered slowly.
“Moo…” The old cow that Xie Qiao had brought with her let out a cry. Its hooves stomped the ground anxiously. The rooster chased after the insects and occasionally crowed.
With the black dog and a few other livestock crying, the evil energy in the formation weakened a little.
Vengeful spirits floated out.
What surprised Xie Qiao was that the vengeful spirits that floated out of the 18 Buddha statues were not very powerful. They only looked a little scary and eerie.
The truly powerful ones were the vengeful spirits of the three scholars.
After dying in this temple, they did not reincarnate. Instead, they were trapped. They were new spirits and were more complete than the spirits in the Buddha statues. Therefore, they had perfectly fused with the evil energy, becoming the vengeful spirits that controlled this place.
They had blood-red tongues, white eyes, and a pair of shriveled and slender claws.
Their rotten scalps were hanging in the air, and their bodies were emitting a stench that was so terrible that it made one feel nauseous.
Li Qingyu was dumbfounded.
Master Mo… lied!
The real vengeful spirits were much more terrifying than the ones that Master Mo had drawn!
His legs could not help but tremble. The fresh blood in his hand seemed to have frozen, and his entire body was cold.
A vengeful spirit was charging at him.
It was as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
Xie Qiao held the peach wood sword in her hand and muttered an incantation. Suddenly, there was a clap of thunder on the ground, and it struck the head of the vengeful spirit that was approaching Li Qingyu.
In an instant, the ugly vengeful spirit was burnt to a crisp.
As for Li Qingyu… he was stupefied.
M-Master could summon the wind and rain?!
However, why did the others not react?
Could it be that he was the only one who could see it?
What should he do?
Right now, he was actually unable to differentiate between what he saw, which was reality, and which was the scene that only he and the master could see!
There was indeed thunder in the sky, but it was not summoned by Xie Qiao.
It had been drizzling the past few days, so it was very normal for there to be occasional thunder.
“Hoo…” The three vengeful spirits let out a disgusting sound, and the other vengeful spirits behind them began to hover, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws at Li Qingyu.
Li Qingyu was going to faint. Fortunately, the cut on his arm felt quite painful, reminding him over and over again to listen to the master’s words.
“Seven affairs and eight spirits, the Grand Supreme chasing the evil away. Long-headed giant beasts, ten thousand souls have returned. Hear my command, go!” Xie Qiao shouted again, and immediately after, the ghouls that followed Zhao Xuanjing around immediately rushed toward those vengeful spirits.
“W-Why can’t you let us go even after we’re dead…?”
“It’s very dark to be trapped here forever… Come with me… Let me eat you! Ha!”
“Kid, I’ll teach you to read… Recite with me…” The voice drifted far away.
One of the vengeful spirits hovered next to Li Qingyu, grimacing and muttering, and even started to recite the Three Character Classic.
Li Qingyu thought he never wanted to study again in his life.
Being taught by the vengeful spirits was truly a terrible feeling!
Xie Qiao’s small hands did not stop as she chanted incantations continuously.
Inside the formation, five bolts of lightning struck.
Xie Qiao’s face was filled with pain as she casted the incantation that was drawn by the Crown Prince’s blood.
“Five Emperors and five dragons, send the lights and move the wind. Spread out and nourish the land, assis the God of Thunder. The five lakes and four seas, water gathers around the imperial court. You obey as the divine firmament talisman commands. Anyone who dares to go against it will not be tolerated by the lightning ax. Hear my command!”
As the incantation was casted, the scene inside the formation changed drastically!
At that instant, Li Qingyu’s eyes were blurry. What did he see?! A sparkly dragon?!
“Master! Look!” Li Qingyu was finally a little excited.
Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him. “Please behave. It’s all fake.”
She only did that because she thought the Crown Prince’s blood complemented the Five Dragon Incantation!
She was usually reluctant to use such a powerful incantation!
