"Okay, problem solved."
Jing Le clapped her hands, then with a surge of spiritual energy, she dispersed the resentment above the courtyard. Moonlight slanted down, and the courtyard returned to the world of the living.
"Lele, what about this scholar who passed the imperial examination?"
Duan Feibai pointed to the unlucky guy in the formation.
"Don't worry about him, someone will take him away in a while. I'll destroy this formation first."
Jing Le glanced at the unconscious ghosts within the formation, then used his spiritual power to transform into a sword and sever the iron chains within the formation.
"Bang!"
"Click!"
Then he stabbed at the beating black heart at the center of the formation.
That was the bride's heart, and also the focal point of the battle.
Its heart had long been corrupted by demonic energy. Now, having lost its connection with its master and cut off from its supply, it was running wildly within the formation.
However, upon contact with Jing Le's merit and spiritual power, it instantly vanished, and the formation naturally broke.
"Let's go back to the palace."
"Is he alright?"
"It's nothing, what could possibly happen? The people who are supposed to pick him up have already arrived."
If I don't leave soon, I'll get nagged again.
After all, she had just smuggled a ghost in.
The ghost bride in Tongfu Lane was thus resolved. Before they left, they saw a faint white figure leading the scholar away.
The underworld.
The King of Hell, sitting at the head of the table, frowned and asked Judge Cui Jue beside him, "Was there any movement at the gates of the underworld just now?"
"My lord, I did not sense anything."
Cui Jue said calmly and continued with his work.
The Ghost Festival is just around the corner, and there's a lot going on in the underworld.
"Could it be that I have misperceived?"
"The King of Hell murmured."
Of course, Jing Le was unaware of all this.
...
The following day, July 14th.
The period from today until the 15th of July is the Ghost Festival.
In addition, the scholar who went to the capital to take the imperial examination died mysteriously in the He family's courtyard, which aroused speculation among the people.
They warned their children not to go out at night or open the door in the middle of the night.
After discovering the formation, Jing Le kept a close eye on everything happening in the capital.
After all, the Ghost King hiding behind Qiu Niang hasn't come out yet.
Duan Feibai and Duan Shulan were going to pay respects to their parents outside the city. Jing Le was fine, so she carried Xiaobai and went along as well. Ying San and the others naturally followed.
Now they couldn't wait to stay by Jing Le's side.
Two of the Dragon Shadow Guards had previously tried to be transferred to Jing Le's side, but they were immediately beaten back by Shadow Three.
Those two were the people who went to provide disaster relief, carrying the talismans given to them by Jing Le.
So they want to follow Jing Le now that they've seen how capable he is? Pshaw, why didn't they do that earlier? They don't need him now.
After eliminating the people in the shadows, Jing Le, his two companions, and a tiger arrived outside the city.
We found a place to offer our prayers.
"I'm going for a walk, I'll be back in a bit."
There's something up on that mountain.
Jing Le looked around, then fixed her gaze on one spot, her brows furrowing slightly, before speaking to Duan Feibai and his sister.
"Go ahead, we'll wait for you here."
Duan Feibai nodded.
Jing Le carried the white tiger to a secluded place, put it down, and pointed to the deep mountains not far away.
"Let's go, let's go take a look over there."
"Yes, Master."
The white tiger returned to its original form upon landing and carried Jing Le into the deep mountains.
Shadow Three and the others followed.
In no time at all, Jing Le had arrived in the deep mountains.
The quiet mountain forest looked no different from usual, except that there were no birds chirping in the middle of the day, which was strangely quiet.
"master."
Shadow Three and the others also arrived.
"Shadow Three, take a few men and go there and there, and see if there's anything there."
Jing Le pointed to several different locations and told them to look for the items.
"yes."
Fifteen minutes later, Jing Le raised an eyebrow as he looked at what he had dug out of the ground.
"I see. Ha, but you're destined to fail now that you've met me."
"Master, what is this?"
Shadow Six looked at the several lumps on the ground that didn't look like wood or iron, but couldn't see anything different about them.
"This thing is called Ebony Iron, and it can be used to forge Soul-Locking Chains."
Jing Le kicked the ebony iron at his feet and continued:
"Don't underestimate this thing. In the hands of a principled person, it is a powerful weapon to slay demons and monsters; in the hands of a wicked person, it is a deadly weapon."
"That is the thing that brings disaster to the people."
"What? That's amazing."
Upon hearing Jing Le's words, the ten people around him all showed expressions of horror.
Having experienced the most direct understanding last night, they were even more certain that what Jing Le said must be true.
"What should we do with this stuff? And who buried this ebony iron in the mountains near the capital?"
Shadow Three felt that something was strange about this.
If Jing Le hadn't discovered this ebony iron, what exactly did the person behind it want to do with it?
They didn't believe the person behind it wanted to do good deeds with ebony and iron.
"What should I do with it? Hehe, it's in my hands now, so of course it's mine. It's true what they say, what I need comes to me."
Jing Le flicked his sleeve and put the nine pieces of ebony iron on the ground into his spatial storage.
Let's go.
He waved, jumped onto the white tiger's back, and left the place.
......
That night, the full moon hung high in the sky.
After 9 PM, the entire capital city fell silent.
Only the cool night breeze was blowing gently.
Jing Le, carrying the refined ebony iron, rode a white tiger to the outskirts of the city.
A man and a tiger hovered in mid-air, looking down over the entire capital city.
What Jing Le didn't mention during the day was that she discovered the person behind it was targeting the Dayong royal family.
