Although Li Yue has regained consciousness, her face is still pale and her eyes are filled with fear. It is clear that her soul has been severely damaged and she needs to recuperate slowly.
Secretary Li and his wife, overjoyed to have their daughter back, wept tears of happiness and expressed their deepest gratitude to Zhang Shaozhong and the other two.
"My three benefactors! I am deeply grateful! If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"
Secretary Li grasped Zhang Shaozhong's hand and said excitedly.
This favor is something I owe a lot.
However, Ling Qingxue frowned slightly.
He cautioned, "Secretary Li, this matter is probably not over yet. The medium used by the sorcerer has been broken, and he will inevitably suffer a backlash, but he may also resort to desperate measures."
The gaunt old man in black robes was both shocked and furious. His "Soul-Entangling Silk" curse was a secret technique, extremely hidden and insidious, and he had never failed to use it!
He never expected that his secret would be forcibly broken today, and that it would even cause him mental and physical harm!
"No matter who you are! If you ruin my plans, you'll pay the price!"
A ruthless glint flashed in the old man's eyes. He quickly grabbed a handful of dark gray powder from a container that looked like an urn beside him, muttered incantations, and suddenly threw the powder at a small wooden figure in front of him with Li Yue's birth date and time written on it!
Li Yue, who had just woken up, hadn't even had a chance to say a word to her parents when her expression suddenly changed drastically again. She grabbed her neck with both hands, her eyes rolled back, and a strange "gurgling" sound came from her throat, as if an invisible hand was strangling her!
"Xiaoyue! What's wrong with you?!" Madam Li was terrified.
Ling Qingxue's eyes narrowed: "The other party has noticed! They are casting a spell from a distance, trying to directly kill the soul!"
"Damn it! You're so ungrateful!"
Night Enchantress was furious; she hated such underhanded tactics that were full of hidden agendas!
She immediately pointed her fingers together like a sword, gathering dense demonic energy at her fingertips, ready to strike Li Yue's brow with her powerful demonic energy to forcefully impact his evil magic!
"Mei'er, no!" Ling Qingxue immediately stopped her. "The opponent's magic is strange. A direct confrontation might damage this girl's fragile soul!"
This change happened too fast and too suddenly!
Moreover, the target was clear, and it carried a sinister malice, clearly a counterattack left by the one who cast the curse!
At this critical moment, an instinct drove him forward!
Zhang Shaozhong rushed to the bedside in one stride. To everyone's astonishment, he did not use any fancy magic, but simply pressed his right palm hard onto Li Yue's forehead!
"Shao Zhong!" Mo Huaiyuan exclaimed in surprise.
The next moment, something shocking happened!
Zhang Shaozhong's palm seemed to have transformed into an invisible vortex!
The wisp of chaotic energy that burst forth was not a domineering attack, but rather carried a characteristic of inclusiveness, assimilation, and even... devouring!
The sinister energy that was entangled in Li Yue's soul, upon contact with the chaotic energy, was like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, or water droplets merging into the ocean. It emitted a faint "sizzling" sound, as if it were being corroded and dissolved, and became thinner and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Uh...ha..." Li Yue suddenly released her grip on her neck, collapsing onto the bed again, panting heavily, but the bluish-purple color on her face quickly faded.
He withdrew his hand in surprise, opened his palm to look at it, and found nothing there, as if everything just now was an illusion.
But he could clearly feel that the chaotic energy had indeed grown slightly stronger. Although it was very slight, the feeling of fullness and the smoother, more responsive feeling were real!
"Chaotic energy... it can actually directly devour this kind of sinister energy? And it can even transform it into its own nourishment?!"
Zhang Shaozhong's heart was filled with shock! This ability is too heaven-defying! Doesn't this make him a "gluttonous beast" that can eat anything?
Ling Qingxue and Ye Meier, who were standing nearby, also witnessed this scene, and both of them showed surprise in their eyes.
Ye Meier leaned closer, grabbed Zhang Shaozhong's hand, and examined it from all angles, clicking her tongue in amazement: "Wow, kid! Your chaotic energy has this function? You can even eat that kind of dirty stuff? Aren't you afraid of getting diarrhea?"
Ling Qingxue pondered: "The primordial chaos is the origin of all things. It can give rise to all laws, and it can also... contain all impurities? It has such characteristics... but it cannot be abused!!"
Zhang Shaozhong nodded quickly, keeping the fairy's words in mind.
This ability is useful, but it can't be used recklessly; who knows what the consequences might be?
Although Mo Huaiyuan and Secretary Li's family did not fully understand what had happened in the blink of an eye, they knew that Zhang Shaozhong had stepped in to resolve the final crisis, and they were extremely grateful.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, inside the quiet interior of that luxurious villa.
"puff--!"
The gaunt old man in the black robe spat out another mouthful of blood, this time the blood was even darker, almost black!
His already sallow complexion turned ashen, his breath was extremely weak, and his eyes were filled with horror, resentment, and disbelief!
Not only was the "Soul-Entangling Silk" he painstakingly crafted broken, but even the wisp of "Soul-Eating Curse Power" that he had left on it as a backup plan, containing a trace of his life essence, was forcibly erased!
Moreover, it was wiped away so cleanly and efficiently, as if it had disappeared into thin air, without any feedback whatsoever!
This directly led to a severe backlash against him!
Both his spirit and soul were traumatized!
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
The old man, acting as if he had gone mad, overturned the altar in front of him, scattering various ritual implements and materials all over the ground with a clanging sound!
He abruptly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on a middle-aged man in a suit with a gloomy face, and roared, "Zhao Dingtian! Didn't you say the other party was just an ordinary person with some background?! At most, he hired a few swindlers?! Then who was it that broke my spell and even devoured my curse power?! That aura... was definitely that of a true cultivator! And his methods were bizarre and domineering! You fucking tricked me?!"
