The insane couple froze on the spot, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, drool dripping from their mouths.

At the same time, black smoke billowed from their bodies, and the chilling aura made everyone involuntarily shrink back.

At this moment, Luo Tianhe and Li Huai had already followed them out.

I turned and glanced at them, then asked in confusion:

Where is the village chief?

Luo Tianhe curled his lip in disdain:

"The village chief was scared like a coward. He wanted to come over, but his legs were shaking so badly he wouldn't obey him. We can't exactly carry him over, so we came over to check on him first."

Hearing Luo Tianhe's words, I was speechless. This village chief is too cowardly.

Little did they know that, in the village chief's eyes, the appearance of this wailing couple at the door was a sign that they were doomed to die!

After all, so many people died, including two Taoist priests; there were no exceptions!

It's understandable that he was so scared.

Fortunately, he faces the living room, so he can see my spectacular display of power through the yard.

Suddenly, a glimmer of hope appeared in the village chief's eyes.

Then, gritting his teeth, he dragged his trembling legs to the door, leaned against the door frame, and looked at the insane couple.

The villagers were completely stunned by what I had just shown.

Suddenly I heard a rustling sound, and when I turned around, I saw that half of the villagers who had been watching had knelt down.

An old man with a deeply lined face, looking like he had suffered a terrible fate, cried out:

"Master, Master, please, please take away that monster! My grandson, he was only seven years old, and he was hanged from the roof beam! When they took him down, his head was strangled off, and he wasn't even left with a complete body!"

"Master, please save us! I'm too scared to sleep at night, and even the sight of a rope makes me jump! When will this terror end?!"

Even a strong and robust young man had trembling lips and choked up as he spoke.

"Master, I have no other request but to ask that you help me take revenge. I am willing to do anything! My wife did nothing, she didn't even go to join the fun that day, yet she was still cruelly hanged, her eyes bulging out."

A burly man banged his head against the ground repeatedly, his eyes filled with not fear, but with deep-seated hatred.

I looked around, but out of the corner of my eye I suddenly noticed a long-haired black figure hanging from a locust tree in the distance!

Seeing that I seemed to have noticed her, she slowly turned around. I saw her rotting, pale face, with black, foul blood flowing from her seven orifices, and she gave me a strange smile.

My face turned pale instantly, and the words I wanted to say to comfort the villagers stuck in my throat.

Looking again, the locust tree was completely empty; it seemed that my imagination had been mistaken.

Luo Tianhe and Li Huai were quite drunk; the rice wine had a high alcohol content.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the two of them patted their chests and assured me:

"We've come here to solve this problem. Don't underestimate Brother Yan; he's the last of the two-faced cobblers in the countryside!"

"That's right, and we're well-prepared this time. Brother Yan's master is a Taoist priest with profound magical powers, and we got a lot of things from him to deal with ghosts."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding villagers felt much more at ease.

A short while later, the yin energy on the insane couple seemed to dissipate, and they suddenly went limp and collapsed to the ground.

“Carry them both to their house.”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out, and when I looked, it was old man Ge Wang, who was silently puffing on his pipe.

The old man seemed to have some prestige in the village.

Upon hearing his words, several strong young men stepped out of the crowd and, disregarding the filth on the couple, carried them away.

The old man stepped forward, stood in front of me, and suddenly asked in a low voice:

"Did you just see something? I noticed your expression changed, and the place you were looking at was the locust tree where the sorceress hanged herself!"

This old man is really observant.

Although my complexion changed slightly just now, I am naturally fair-skinned, so a slight change in color wouldn't be noticeable to most people.

And I just glanced at that locust tree out of the corner of my eye.

"Do you know something?"

I didn't answer; instead, I asked a question in return.

The old man gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"What could an old man like me know? I'm practically half-buried."

Seeing that he seemed unwilling to talk, I didn't bother to ask any more questions and simply ignored him, looking at the villagers instead:

"Their meaning is my meaning. In short, now that I'm here, it's either my death or getting rid of that evil spirit!"

I expressed my determination to them, paused, and then continued:

"We've had a long journey today, so let's rest for a day. Tomorrow we'll perform the rituals during the day and hold a ceremony to send off the evil spirits in the evening!"

"Everyone, let's disperse for now. We've been busy all day and haven't eaten yet. Let's finish our meal first."

After hearing my words, the villagers all looked at me with gratitude.

Many of those still kneeling on the ground kowtowed several times before covering their faces and leaving.

Soon, all the onlookers who had gathered in front of the village chief's house had returned home.

The village chief was much better now; at least his legs had stopped shaking.

After experiencing this crazy argument between the couple, he realized: I am truly determined to get rid of this evil spirit.

He looked at me hesitantly for a moment, then finally spoke:

“Master, although you expressed a lot of confidence in front of them, I could sense that you weren’t absolutely certain. Why did you say those things?”

Someone like him, who prioritizes self-preservation, certainly couldn't understand my approach.

I snorted coldly:

"No one could be absolutely certain of success against such an evil spirit! Now that I'm here, I can't just slink away. I'll meet force with force, and even if it's not for my own sake, I can't disgrace the cobbler, my master, or my grandfather!"

We went back inside and continued eating.

As I was chewing on the local pork, I suddenly felt something was wrong in my mouth. When I spat it out, I found a long hair.

I didn't pay attention; it's normal for hair to fall in while cooking.

But I find it a bit strange, because I remember the village chief's wife always wore a headscarf.

It was a small matter after all, and I didn't think much of it.

But one after another, I noticed that Li Huai, Luo Tianhe, and the village chief all found hair in their food.

Li Huai and Luo Tianhe, who found hair first, didn't care at all. They both casually spat out the hair and continued eating.

When the village chief found a hair in his food, his expression suddenly changed, and he started gagging, clutching his neck.

"I said, so what if I ate my sister-in-law's hair? Is it really that big of a deal?"

Luo Tianhe looked puzzled. They were an old married couple, yet they still cared about such a trivial matter.
