"Exterminate demons and monsters?"

The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, then sighed:

"What a demon, what a demon slayer. The young Taoist sees it clearly."

"Indeed, if all the demons in the world were different, we could still distinguish them at a glance. But if they disguise themselves as humans and walk the path of demons, it would be harder to discern and their harm would be greater."

The old Taoist had just hidden himself on the side and did not intervene to stop Dong Yu. Wei Yuan could guess what he was thinking. He remembered Tian Shi's experience and felt complicated. He nodded in agreement and said, "The elder speaks the truth. The evil in human hearts is difficult to prevent, and it seems that nothing has changed over the centuries."

Both of them fell silent.

Wei Yuan lowered his head and looked at the jade pendant he had taken from Liu Chao.

The white jade base emitted a spiritual aura.

Spiritual cultivation was still far from popular, and he didn't know where Liu Chao got it from. It was a genuine article with a symbol engraved on it. It was this symbol that allowed Liu Chao to escape from the ghost wall.

The old Taoist took a glance and recognized it, saying, "It's from Baiyun Temple in Ying Tianfu."

"Although there are many temples called Baiyun Temple, the one in Ying Tianfu is genuine. The Taoists there have some skills, but they have been too involved in worldly affairs for generations. As long as you pay, anyone can get talismans from them."

"Baiyun Temple..."

Wei Yuan silently remembered the name.

The old Taoist saw his long sword and asked, "I see that your swordsmanship is sharp, and it follows the style of the Qingcheng faction of the Tian Shi Fu. Your talisman is also in the style of the Dragon and Tiger faction of the Tian Shi Fu. I don't know which generation of disciples you belong to in the Tian Shi Fu, whether you received the Alliance Wei Talisman or the Five Thunder Talisman?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and replied, "Elder, you are mistaken. I am not a disciple of the Tian Shi Fu."

"What?!"

The old Taoist was slightly stunned. Wei Yuan raised his head, and the last scream in the villa had already stopped. The resentment that had been entangled around the villa had dissipated, returning to its original state. He stopped talking, nodded to the old Taoist, and picked up his sword to go inside.

Blood splattered, almost covering the floor.

Liu Chao and his two companions were dead.

How could a vengeful ghost not die?!

But Liu Chao's soul was still lingering."Dong Yu has returned to her original appearance, dressed in white with a delicate face, just like before she was abducted here. Her hostility has dissipated by at least seventy percent. Liu Chaohun's soul is almost dissipating, but she is holding it in her hand.

Dong Yu looked at Wei Yuan, her body still that of a fierce ghost, with tears on her face, and handed the soul over to him.

Wei Yuan had heard their conversation outside and knew that this was the human trafficker. He understood Dong Yu's intention and hoped to find out where the kidnapped people were from the soul and rescue them. He was still in his fierce ghost state and did not disperse Liu Chaohun's soul.

The old Taoist also realized what was happening, sighed with pity, and bowed slightly:

"Miss, have mercy."

Wei Yuan closed his eyes, raised his hand, and drew a ghost-driving talisman.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

He forced Liu Chaohun's soul, which was already about to collapse, to search for a pile of photos on Liu Chaohun's body, which was their target, and then took out a small phone and a USB flash drive with a large amount of data and transaction records.

Liu Chaohun knew what he had done.

When he was young, he didn't care, but as he got older, he often woke up in the middle of the night from nightmares.

He was suspicious and dared not keep these things at home, only carrying them with him.

Wei Yuan remembered the password and opening method through ghost-driving techniques.

Then he directly released the ghost-driving.

Liu Chaohun's illusory soul appeared beside him.

The old Taoist had not yet spoken when Wei Yuan raised his hand and drew his sword. He did not even look at the ghost who was begging for mercy beside him. The sword was still effective with the power of breaking evil and exorcising demons. With one sword, the soul was cut into nothingness. Then he put the sword back into its sheath, and the sound of the sword echoed.

The old Taoist opened his mouth but still said nothing.

Wei Yuan put away the things. These could be handed over to the police for processing. The evidence was conclusive, and none of those people could escape. He turned around and looked at Dong Yu, who seemed a little lost and unsure after completing her revenge, and fell silent, asking:

"Do you have any other wishes?"

Dong Yu looked up at Wei Yuan.

The old Taoist closed his eyes, knowing what Wei Yuan was going to do, feeling a little reluctant.

Dong Yu's lips moved slightly, saying:

"I...I want to find that child..."Wei Yuan nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, I will take her away. I can either hand her over to your parents to raise, or send her to the Taoist temple to become a little Taoist. Both arrangements will be fine. I swear she will never have any relationship with this place again..."

Dong Yu thought for a long time and said softly, "Send her back to my parents... At least she can accompany them when I'm not here."

"But please don't tell them about this child's origin."

Wei Yuan agreed.

Then he looked at Dong Yu and asked gently, "Do you have any other wishes?"

Dong Yu wanted to say no, but when she mentioned her parents, two faces that weren't so young flashed before her eyes. Her lips trembled and tears flowed down before she could even speak.

"I want to see my parents again... I want to talk to them again. I want to eat the dishes my parents made, like my dad's stir-fried pork with green onions and my mom's braised shrimp. I want to eat the dumplings they made with their own hands. I just want to see them one more time..."

"I'm sorry, am I being too greedy?"

She wiped away her tears with her hand.

Wei Yuan put away his sword and held out his right hand. "Okay."

"What?"

"I promise to fulfill your wish."

............

Wei Yuan arrived in front of the wooden house where the child was staying.

The old Taoist pulled out a stack of talismans and blessed the child to prevent evil spirits from entering her body.

Wei Yuan put his sword on his back and wrapped the cloth that had been tied around the sword around the child's clothes. His sword had already cut off several demons, and he had cultivated a chilling aura. The cloth wrapped around the sword also had a strange feeling, making the child feel uncomfortable, and coupled with Wei Yuan being a stranger, she started crying.

Dong Yu's soul shed tears and reached out to touch the child's small hand, but she could only pass through her hand. However, the child turned her head and looked at the empty space with her hand reaching out, making cooing noises and stopped crying.

The old Taoist looked at the small hand holding the imaginary fingers and sighed. When he was young, he also wielded his sword to slay demons and evil spirits, but now that he was old, he couldn't bear to see this kind of scene. He could only look at Wei Yuan and ask, "How do you plan to leave?"

Wei Yuan said, "I have already called a friend. They should have arrived at the foot of the mountain by now. We just need to wait a while longer before we can go up the mountain.""After all, this place has too much evil energy. Even with protective talismans, it's not good for the child to stay here for too long."

The old Taoist nodded and then took out two horses and handed them to Wei Yuan.

"Take them, kid."

"What is this for?"

"This mountain is difficult to climb, especially with its rugged terrain. It takes a lot of effort. Going back to the city from the foot of the mountain is much faster. Let them wait down there. My shrinking spell may not be as fast as those vehicles, but it has its own mysteries. It can travel thousands of miles in a day, regardless of the terrain. You can leap down from this mountain as if it were flat ground."

"The old Taoist and you will cast the spell together. Take the child and go down the mountain quickly."

He asked Wei Yuan to tie the two horses to his legs and recite the shrinking spell:

"One step, a hundred steps. The ground shrinks. Mountains become flat, and water dries up."

"I follow the command of the three mountains and nine lords!"

Wei Yuan bid farewell to the old Taoist and temporarily used his ghost-expelling techniques to collect Dong Yu. He carried the child, who was protected by many talismans, and walked down the mountain. His speed was incredibly fast. The steep and rugged mountain slopes were as easy to walk on as flat ground. Finally, the sergeant bravely stepped between the moon and the mountains. With each step, he covered more than ten meters, almost feeling like he was flying.

................

A black car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Beside the car, Zhou Yi, with short and sharp hair, held a cigarette. Next to her were Xuan Yi, a disciple of Wei Ming Sect, and Song Xinghuai, the heir of Longhu Mountain. Xuan Yi looked at the shadow of the mountain in the dark car, and his expression became somewhat solemn. Song Xinghuai said:

"Why did the owner suddenly ask us to wait here again?"

Zhou Yi said, "Probably because he has already come down."

Song Xinghuai shook his head and said, "It's better to go up and meet him than to walk a few more steps on the mountain road."

"How about this? We drive slowly up, and maybe we'll meet him."

While Zhou Yi was thinking, Xuan Yi suddenly said, "He's here!"

Zhou Yi and Song Xinghuai looked towards the mountain road.

Quiet and empty, no one was there.

Xuan Yi's voice sounded slightly shocked, "Up there!"

"Up there?!"

Zhou Yi and Song Xinghuai instinctively looked up, their expressions suddenly changing.

Among the rugged rocks and dense forests, a figure suddenly appeared, with flowing energy that stepped on the leaves and walked forward for more than twenty meters. Under the shocked gaze of the three people, a falling leaf drifted down.

The moon was bright, and the person wore black clothes and held a sword.

Wei Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. The old Taoist did not lie. The shrinking spell was indeed powerful.

He looked at the three people by the car and nodded slightly.The voice was calm.

"Sorry for the wait, everyone."
