Chapter 109 I told you to find some capable, living people to help you with the work! Not to find ghosts!
The moment they finished writing the last word and signed their names—
"Bang!"
The huge floor-to-ceiling window shattered with a deafening roar, and a torrent of violent resentment flooded into the entire living room like a burst dam.
Li Yao's figure lunged towards the three culprits.
"No! No! Please, please let us go, please!"
A desperate scream pierced the night sky.
Like headless flies, overwhelmed by resentment and fear, the three pushed and screamed at each other, falling from the broken French windows of the high-rise building.
One dull, loud thud after another came from downstairs.
At the same time, Shen Yuepo appeared downstairs at Zhang Qiang's house.
In the night sky, dark clouds gathered instantly.
A bolt of purplish-gold lightning, accompanied by a deafening roar, struck down fiercely towards Li Yao, who was filled with resentment inside the room.
Li Yao had just completed her revenge, and her soul was shattered by the resentment and the final burst of power.
Faced with this supremely yang and powerful heavenly lightning, which was specifically designed to subdue yin and evil, only a sense of relief remained in her crimson eyes.
She gave up resisting, opened her arms, she was already prepared.
Having avenged her great grudge, her destined end was to have her soul scattered and her spirit destroyed.
Just as the Purple-Gold Heavenly Lightning was about to devour Li Yao's soul.
Shen Yuepo formed a hand seal in front of his chest, moving so fast that only a phantom could be seen.
He shouted: "The Yin guides, good intentions are the guide! Seal the soul and gather the spirit, by decree!"
A small, exquisite soul-nourishing bottle had appeared in her left palm at some point, its opening aimed at Li Yao's disintegrating soul.
With his right hand fingers together, a wisp of warm yellow light lingered around the fingertips.
This is the benevolent energy that Lin Cheng promised to give to Shen Yuepo before his reincarnation.
At this moment, she infused this wisp of goodwill into Li Yao's soul, which was about to be completely torn apart by heavenly lightning and resentment.
A gentle golden light instantly emanated from around Li Yao, radiating an aura of goodwill.
"Boom!"
Just then, a bolt of purple-gold lightning crashed down.
The light instantly engulfed the entire room.
"receive!"
With a sharp shout, Shen Yuepo unleashed a powerful suction force from the Soul-Nourishing Bottle in his left hand.
The light of the heavenly thunder dissipated.
Shen Yuepo remained standing in the same spot, her left hand steadily supporting the white jade soul-nourishing bottle.
Inside the bottle, a faint, almost invisible, pale white light point floated.
A warm, yellow aura of goodwill enveloped the point of light.
Shen Yuepo looked down at the remnant soul in the bottle, which represented a glimmer of hope, and breathed a sigh of relief, her face slightly pale.
She carefully tightened the cork and put the bottle into her cloth bag.
Soon, the piercing sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached, breaking the deathly silence of the night.
Shen Yuepo's figure had quietly disappeared.
Upstairs in the Zhang family home, only a mess remained, and downstairs were three mangled corpses.
The three confessions, filled with details of their crimes, lay quietly on the floor in the night breeze.
After dealing with Li Yao's matter, Shen Yuepo did not linger at all.
Carrying the Soul-Nourishing Bottle, she traveled overnight by car, heading straight for the Xujing Temple on Qingfeng Mountain.
When the taxi stopped on the winding mountain road, the eastern sky was just beginning to lighten.
The morning mist swirled, shrouding the entire Qingfeng Mountain in a hazy veil.
Shen Yuepo arrived at the entrance of Xujing Temple, and the scene before her made her raise an eyebrow slightly.
The once dilapidated gate and the crumbling exterior walls of the Xujing Temple have now been completely transformed.
The vermilion gate was tightly closed, and the blue brick wall had been rebuilt and painted snow-white, exuding a rare sense of cleanliness.
It seems that her cheap senior brother is actually quite reliable.
Shen Yuepo did not knock on the door.
She skillfully circled around to a relatively low wall on the side of the temple, lightly touched the ground with her toes, and silently vaulted over, landing steadily inside the temple.
The temple grounds are much cleaner now; the weeds have been cleared away, and the moss on the stone paths has been scraped off, revealing their original texture.
The air was filled with the faint scent of incense and a lingering smell of paint.
Shen Yuepo walked straight through the empty courtyard of the front hall, headed towards the back courtyard, and arrived at the door of Lin Yanxin's room.
The backyard was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the morning breeze.
The doors and windows of Lin Yanxin's room were tightly closed, and it was deathly silent inside.
Shen Yuepo walked to the door but did not knock.
She spoke directly into the crack in the door, her voice low but clear:
"Lin Yanxin".
There was no response from inside.
Shen Yuepo's eyes turned cold, and his voice suddenly rose:
"I'm giving you three minutes. If you don't get up—"
She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and a lightning talisman, shimmering with an eerie light, had appeared between her fingertips:
"Don't blame me for not showing any sympathy for my fellow disciples."
The last few words, spoken casually, contained a threat.
The moment the words fell—
"Aww!"
A wail erupted from the side room.
Then came a muffled thud, as if someone had rolled off the bed.
"Coming, coming! Senior brother, get up now! Get up now!" Lin Yanxin's voice, filled with fear and sleepiness, rang out amidst a flurry of rustling sounds.
"Squeak." The door was suddenly pulled open.
Lin Yanxin, wearing a wrinkled white undergarment, still sleepy-eyed, with pillow marks on her face, rushed out of the door.
He opened his arms to give Shen Yuepo a warm hug, shouting as he did so:
"Little Moon! You're finally back! I've been so busy! So busy! Waaah..."
Shen Yuepo remained expressionless and shifted half a step to the side.
"Bang!"
Lin Yanxin missed her target. Because she rushed too hard, she almost fell headfirst into a stone pier in the yard. She staggered several steps before she could barely steady herself, and she was panting heavily while holding her waist.
Shen Yuepo coldly observed his disheveled appearance:
"Busy sleeping, huh?"
Lin Yanxin awkwardly scratched her messy hair, chuckled dryly twice, and tried to change the subject:
"Hehe, isn't this just the beginning of dawn...?"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Chen Yuepo. Seeing that she looked travel-worn, his eyes lit up as if he had seen a savior.
"Little Moon! You came back this time to bring help to your senior brother, right? Where is he? Let your senior brother see him quickly!"
"Ideally, someone who can fight, endure hardship, perform rituals, and do odd jobs! I desperately need one! This temple, inside and out, can't be managed by me alone!"
As he spoke, he craned his neck to look around behind Shen Yuepo.
Looking into his expectant eyes, Shen Yuepo slowly took out the white jade soul-nourishing bottle from her cloth bag.
The faint, almost invisible pale white light inside struggled to stay afloat, enveloped by a few wisps of warm, benevolent yellow energy.
“Here it is.” Shen Yuepo handed the bottle to Lin Yanxin.
Lin Yanxin's smile froze instantly.
He stared wide-eyed, moved closer to the bottle, almost pressing his face against it.
He looked at the bottle, then at Shen Yuepo's calm face, then back at the bottle... repeating this several times.
"Here...?"
He pointed at the small bottle, his voice rising and distorting with astonishment and absurdity, "You're not kidding me, are you?!"
He pointed at the bottle, his fingers trembling, his face contorted with despair.
"I told you to find help, I meant capable, living people! Not ghosts! And certainly not these kinds of fragile, paper-thin remnants that are on the verge of extinction!"
