Chapter 206 Breaking Your Shackles, Freeing You from Your Bondage

The eerie wind surged even more violently, and leaves swirled and danced around the scarred man like ghostly claws.

His twisted smile grew increasingly ferocious, as if he were embracing his lover:

Come on! Blow, blow hard! You wind are embracing me!

He took a deep, ecstatic breath, his voice hoarse and sickly, "When you were alive, you resisted my touch, saying I was disgusting. Now, I'll take that as acceptance, A-Yuan!"

In the shadows of the treetops, Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin exchanged a silent glance, both seeing speechlessness in each other's eyes.

I've seen weirdos, but I've never seen anyone so crazy and self-righteous.

Just then, one of the scarred man's henchmen answered a phone call.

After responding in a low voice, he quickly walked to his side and said in a low voice, "Boss, they're urging us. The goods will arrive soon. We have to go."

The scarred man's manic expression vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and ruthless look.

He glanced one last time at the lonely grave, his tone softening again: "Ah Yuan, business has come, I have to go. Wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Having said that, he no longer lingered and turned to leave the valley with his men.

Just as the scarred man turned and took a step, Shen Yuepo flicked her fingertips, and a tracking talisman silently struck the scarred man in the back.

However, something unexpected happened.

Just as the talisman was about to touch his body, the scarred man suddenly stopped in his tracks.

As if sensing something, his face instantly darkened, and he pulled out a yellow talisman folded into a triangle from his inner pocket.

At this moment, the talisman was emitting a faint light, and its edges were turning to ash at a visible speed.

"snort!"

The scarred man stared at the yellow talisman that had turned to ashes in his hand, his eyes suddenly turning fierce and sharp. He swept his gaze sharply across the dark woods around him, his voice icy:

"The master was right. The destruction of this protective talisman means either something unclean is trying to harm me, or someone knowledgeable is performing a ritual in secret."

The scarred man immediately realized that this was not a place to stay.

He made a quick decision, pointing to the subordinate who had just spoken and another burly man who was closest to him:

"You two stay here, I'll immediately notify the master to come and move A-Yuan's grave."

After saying that, he did not hesitate any longer. He led the remaining men and quickly retreated from the ravine, their figures soon disappearing into the dense forest.

Once they were sure the scarred man and his group were far away, only the two black-clad henchmen left behind remained in the woods, nervously looking around.

Shen Yuepo swiftly formed a hand seal in front of her chest, silently chanting an incantation:

"It bewitches the mind, confuses the senses, and leads to delusions!"

As she murmured in a cool tone, the two burly men in black, who had been cautiously looking around, suddenly stiffened, their eyes instantly becoming empty and lost.

Immediately afterwards, they revealed foolish and lewd smiles on their faces.

As if seeing something incredibly tempting, it started waving its arms and legs at the air, letting out silly "hehehe" laughs.

One of them was drooling and wanted to hug the big tree next to him, completely immersed in the illusion created by Chen Yuepo.

Feng Jin and Shen Yuepo leaped down from the tree and landed silently on the ground.

Feng Jin glanced at the camera he had destroyed under the eaves and said calmly:

"Don't worry, that thing couldn't have filmed us."

His power had already completely destroyed the components inside the camera, leaving no data behind.

Shen Yuepo nodded, ignoring the two good-for-nothings, and turned his gaze to the lonely grave.

Shen Yuepo walked to the grave and squatted down. She looked up at the moon.

Then, he raised the hand wearing the reincarnation ring, gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, and pressed it onto the gravel in front of the rubble.

“My soul and spirit are trapped here, unable to be reborn.”

"Now, with reincarnation as the guide and the moon as the bridge, I will break your shackles and free you from your bonds!"

As she chanted her incantation, a gentle force seeped into the depths of the grave from her fingertips, beginning to challenge the invisible barrier.

The grave mound shook violently.

Feng Jin stood beside Shen Yuepo, his hands behind his back.

At the same time, a powerful divine sense, like an invisible barrier, enveloped the entire mountain valley.

"break!"

With a clear shout, Shen Yuepo unleashed the last strand of spiritual power, which pierced through like a thread.

"Pop".

A soft popping sound, like a bubble bursting.

The chilling, malevolent aura surrounding the lonely grave suddenly paused and began to dissipate.

An almost transparent female spirit slowly floated out of the grave.

It was the girl in black.

Her soul was more solid than before, but its light was dim, as if it might completely dissipate at any moment.

Pain lingered in her empty eyes; her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Clearly, his soul power was exhausted from being imprisoned and tortured, making it difficult for him to even maintain basic consciousness.

Shen Yuepo immediately raised his left hand, and the Reincarnation Ring shone brightly. A gentle suction force softly enveloped the girl's weak soul and finally took it into the Reincarnation Ring.

After doing all this, Shen Yuepo looked at Feng Jin, who had been guarding her, and said, "Her soul was severely injured and needs to be nurtured."

She paused, recalling the scarred man's words, "Feng Jin, can you get Meng Guichen to come here immediately?"

Feng Jin was incredibly clever; he instantly understood Chen Yuepo's intention.

He smiled slightly, "You certainly know how to make the most of things. With Meng Guichen here, you can catch people for her and also create opportunities for her and your senior brother to spend time together."

Shen Yuepo was caught off guard by his thoughts, and a rare hint of unease flashed across his face, but he did not refute it.

She turned around, took Feng Jin's hand, and walked towards the woods at the edge of the ravine, away from the two henchmen who were still grinning foolishly.

As she walked, she spoke softly, her tone unusually gentle and earnest: "Don't let my senior brother's usual carefree and irresponsible demeanor fool you, he's actually... very good to me. Very good."

She stopped and looked toward the direction of Xujing Temple, as if she could see through the mountains and forests and see that familiar figure in the temple.

“Three years ago, my senior brother climbed to the top of the temple and cried all night. I never knew why, but in the last two days, I think I know why.”

She said softly, "Before my master passed away, the Taoist temple faced a major decision: who would inherit the temple."

Shen Yuepo's voice lowered.

"The Xujing Temple has a unique lineage. The Xujing Soul-Suppressing Technique and the Soul-Guiding Array guarded in the temple must be inherited by disciples with a pure Yang spirit-guiding body in order to fully control them, suppress the Yin apertures of the earth veins, and guide wandering souls."

"And I..."

She raised her hand, a trace of cold spiritual energy swirling around her fingertips. "Born with the Xuan Yin Moon Soul Body, my spiritual power is strong, but it clashes with the pure Yang power of the Taoist temple."

"If one forcibly inherits it, once one's own spiritual power clashes with the yang energy of the earth veins, it will accelerate the imbalance of the earth veins and bring about a great disaster."
