Mr. Zhao floated over with his family, his eyes filled with eagerness as he asked, "Master, was it done by that despicable scoundrel Sun Ming?"

Qing Xuanzi nodded: "It is indeed him, and the person who helped him was a Japanese spy, who was also a self-taught Onmyoji."

The Zhao family members all said angrily, "It really was him, Master! How is Sun Ming now?"

Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already dealt with that Japanese Onmyoji who helped him. He won't live for more than a few days."

"Once I break these three soul-locking formations, I will send you to the underworld. In a few days, he will follow you down there. At that time, the grievances will be cleared and the debts will be settled, and he will naturally receive the punishment he deserves."

Old Master Zhao and his family were about to kneel down before Qing Xuanzi, but he was held up by Qing Xuanzi's spiritual power and could not kneel down. They had no choice but to stand up and bow to express their gratitude.

Rong Jiaojiao remained quiet from the moment she entered. She didn't seem afraid of the blood-soaked ghosts; instead, her eyes followed the children running around, as if she were very curious about how they could float around.

Qing Xuanzi told them to step back, and he himself led Rong Jiaojiao to the center of the Zhao family compound.

This is a huge open space, surrounded by houses that form a natural enclosure.

Qing Xuanzi stood in the center of the open space, his divine sense rapidly spreading out to carefully perceive the area of ​​the entire courtyard shrouded by the array.

He soon discovered that the entire Zhao family compound was shrouded in a huge array, as if an invisible shackle was firmly binding the souls of the Zhao family.

"This three-gate soul-locking formation looks complicated, but in front of me, it's just a matter of making me waste more of my magic power."

He took out three talismans from his pocket, each representing the power of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

These three talismans were carefully prepared by him, specifically to break this evil formation.

Qing Xuanzi flew the talismans to three corners of the open space. Each time a talisman landed, he would chant a spell in a low voice to activate its power.

As the talisman was activated, three rays of light rose from it, displaying the colors of blue, red, and yellow respectively, symbolizing the power of heaven, earth, and humanity.

"The power of Heaven, Earth, and Man, break!"

Qing Xuanzi formed hand seals and shouted. As he shouted, the three beams of light instantly converged, forming a powerful pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

The beam of light grew brighter and brighter, as if it were about to illuminate the entire Zhao family compound.

At the same time, the Three Soul-Locking Array began to tremble violently, and the eerie aura within the array was gradually dispelled by the light of the pillars of light.

The ghosts of the Zhao family, witnessing this scene, all prayed in their hearts, hoping that the master would succeed.

Qing Xuanzi had no time to pay attention to them and continued to increase his magical output.

As the beam of light grew stronger, cracks began to appear in the Three Gates Soul-Locking Array.

These cracks spread rapidly like a spider web, at which point a force of resistance emanated from the formation.

"Hmph, this kind of evil formation dares to act so arrogantly in front of me? They really don't know what's good for them!"

Qing Xuanzi's face was cold and stern. He formed hand seals again, maximizing the power of the talisman.

Finally, under his all-out attack, the Three Soul-Locking Array let out a silent wail before collapsing completely.

The powerful, eerie aura gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm and gentle atmosphere that enveloped the entire Zhao family compound.

The ghosts of the Zhao family cheered. They could no longer feel the invisible binding force that constantly surrounded them. Now they felt a long-lost peace and liberation.

Mr. Zhao said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Master. I can never repay your kindness in this lifetime. May I ask your name, Master? When I get to the underworld, I will definitely make offerings to you!"

Qing Xuanzi smiled and waved his hand: "Mr. Zhao, there's no need to be so polite. Now that your grievances have been redressed, you can go to the other shore in peace."

As for his reward, aside from the wicked, Heaven will surely grant him his due.

Mr. Zhao drew a map on the ground and said, “Master, I know that those gold and silver treasures are of no use to you, and I have none of them either.”

"However, one of my uncles loved jade and collected a lot of it. My family had a farm on the outskirts of the county town, and his treasure trove was there."

"I don't know if it has been discovered yet. If you find it useful, you can go and look for it. If you find it, consider it a small token of my Zhao family's gratitude."

Qing Xuanzi carefully examined the map, which marked the location of the treasure vault and the method of entry.

Qing Xuanzi wouldn't care about anything else, but jade was indeed useful to him; it could be used to make amulets and array plates.

He nodded: "Jade is indeed useful to me, so thank you very much."

Old Master Zhao smiled with relief, and Qing Xuanzi said, "I will ask the envoy to escort you here."

After speaking, Qing Xuanzi took out a talisman to summon the Soul Reaper, chanted a spell softly, and tossed the talisman lightly.

The talisman instantly transformed into a golden light in the air, then the golden light dissipated, revealing a pitch-black gate.

Two figures emerged from the gate: Black and White Impermanence.

Black Impermanence, dressed in black robes, had a stern face and held an iron chain in his hand; White Impermanence, dressed in white robes, had a kind face and held a paper fan in his hand. As soon as they appeared, they bowed slightly to Qing Xuanzi.

"Master Qingxuan, we meet again!" Bai Wuchang greeted Qingxuanzi in a gentle voice, sounding quite familiar.

Qing Xuanzi nodded slightly: "How could I trouble you two?"

Bai Wuchang chuckled, "I happen to have some free time." He glanced around the Zhao family compound and then asked, "Tell me what's going on here?"

Qing Xuanzi gave a brief account of the events, and then said, "The souls of the Zhao family have been released. We will need to trouble you two to guide them to the underworld so that they can reincarnate in peace."

Black Impermanence suddenly interjected, "You don't need to worry about that. You should focus on teaching the girl in your arms."

Qing Xuanzi looked at Hei Wuchang with suspicion: "Does Your Excellency know my disciple?"

Black Impermanence's tone was icy, just like his personality: "Don't know him, just a little unlucky fellow!"

After saying that, he used his magic to scoop up the ghosts of the Zhao family. Bai Wuchang followed behind with a smile and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A little bit of merit fell onto Qing Xuanzi. Qing Xuanzi sensed it and knew that this was a gift of gratitude from Old Master Zhao. He smiled with satisfaction.

Coming to his senses, only Qing Xuanzi and his apprentice remained in the Zhao family compound.

Qing Xuanzi frowned slightly as he looked in the direction where Black Impermanence and White Impermanence had disappeared, somewhat puzzled by Black Impermanence's words.

He looked down at Rong Jiaojiao in his arms and saw her staring at him with wide, curious eyes, her gaze full of trust and reliance.

Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. He knew that his disciple was not an unlucky guy, but a lucky one.

He snorted and carried his disciple home.

Even so, Black Impermanence's words still left a shadow in his heart, so much so that he kept thinking about it the next day and wanted to immediately take his beloved little disciple to the Xuanji Sect to have the Xuanji Ancestor do some divination.
