Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

Feng Xinyu let out a quiet sigh, “Maybe, I really blamed Dao Feng wrongly . ”

“Those words are useless now . ” Ye Shaoyang stood up with difficulty . He walked toward her and said, “Let me transcend you . ”

“Hold on!” Qin Feng stopped Ye Shaoyang and asked Feng Xinyu, “Where is Xiao Yun?”

Feng Xinyu ran her fingers through her hair and looked at Qin Feng, “Can you create a dream for me before I am sent to the Netherworld Council? I will return Xiao Yun to you after that . ”

Qin Feng hesitated for a while . Then, he nodded and waved his sleeve . A stream of smoke gradually circled her . Feng Xinyu closed her eyes; her face slowly became peaceful and composed . A kind, innocent smile of a young teenage girl appeared at the corner of her mouth . Her current peaceful and innocent look starkly contrasted her previously scary and ferocious countenance . The two instances of Feng Xinyu felt like two different people . This was her original look . Ye Shaoyang let out a quiet sigh .

“What do you think she is dreaming about?” Rui Lengyu muttered .

“Dao Feng,” gently replied Ye Shaoyang .

Ye Shaoyang sat down and circulated the Qi throughout his body as Feng Xinyu dreamed . After he circulated his energy for a minor cycle, he recovered a quarter of his power . He opened his eyes, and he saw Qin Feng hugging a girl attired in school uniform . She was full of excitement .

“Chen Lin!” Xiao Ma shouted . He walked two steps forward and stopped . He gazed at Chen Lin and asked, “Chen Lin . . . It is really you, Chen Lin . How are you . . . feeling?

Chen Lin smiled in reply and nodded at him .

Qin Feng said to Ye Shaoyang, “It’s time to transcend her . ”

Feng Xinyu was still deep in her sleep . She looked very happy and a little shy, probably still in her sweet dreams . As a supreme spirit that had killed countless people, the Soul Guiding Talisman paper had no effects on her . He could only use the Chant of Transcendence to transcend her . Ye Shaoyang walked toward her . Then, he gently covered her forehead with his hand and started to intone the Chant of Transcendence, “Ashes to ashes, earth to earth . The cycle of life and death will perpetuate with Yin Yang . Be it reward or punishment, Yama\'s Book of Justice shall tally every detail .

Feng Xinyu, you can rest in peace now… . ”

Feng Xinyu’s figure slowly faded . By the end of the chant, she had completely disappeared .

Everyone let out breaths of relief . Finally, they had managed to transcend Feng Xinyu and clear all the spirits and specters in the spirit nest . The spirit nest that had existed for seventy years and killed numerous people was now gone .

“Job done . ” Ye Shaoyang stretched . He turned around and realized that Qin Feng had disappeared . He frowned, “Where is Qin Feng?”

The others immediately looked around . Nobody knew where he went .

Xiao Ma wondered aloud, “Why are you looking for him?”

“Naturally, I want to transcend Chen Lin’s soul . I can’t let her stay in the human world . ”

Finally, Xiao Ma understood Qin Feng’s intentions . He smiled, “Anyway, they’ve already left . You can only wait until you meet him again . ”

Ye Shaoyang shook his head and said Rui Lengyu, “I’m exhausted now . I need to go back and rest . Please help me check if there’s anything dangerous that remains inside . Additionally, can you help my senior brother to clear up the Yin Qi?”

Rui Lengyu nodded . Then, she sped down the paths of life, pulled out the Dharma staff, and removed the Formation of Eighth Paths . After she did this, Old Guo carried his backpack and followed her in . Meanwhile, Ye Shaoyang asked for Xiao Ma’s help to carry out the still unconscious Xie Yuqing .

A blank-faced Liu Ming followed them . The entire series of events were too terrifying and unbelievable . Even now, he had not completely recovered from the incident . Ye Shaoyang glanced at him, “Vice principal Liu, I hope you won’t speak of the things that happened here to others . I’m afraid that it might incite public fear . ”

A wry smile spread over Liu Ming’s face, “Don’t worry . I don’t think anyone will believe me, even if I told them . They will probably think that I am a psychopath . ”

Ye Shaoyang nodded . Then, he said, “One more thing . Remember to transfer the money to me . ”

“No worries . ” Liu Ming grew energetic once Ye Shaoyang brought up the topic of money . He snickered, as he rubbed his hands together, “ Mr . Ye . Recently, our school business has not done too well . Can you give us a slight discount?”

Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes . This Liu Ming was as much of a cheap-skate as Old Guo .

“You can settle the payment with my senior brother . I will give you a 20% discount on whatever price he quotes,” Ye Shaoyang answered simply, as he was not in the mood to talk further with Liu Ming . Liu Ming’s face immediately lit up with happiness .

“Little Ye, will the Netherworld Council punish Feng Xinyu heavily for killing so many people?”

“Of course, they will torture her for at least a few hundred years in hell . ”

“Oh, that is cruel!” Xiao Ma was shocked and muttered, “But she is a victim too . . . ”

Ye Shaoyang glared at him, “Is she the most tragic person in the world? She has killed so many innocent people—Chen Lin, Liao Qingqing, and many more . Don’t you think that they are miserable? She is fortunate enough to only suffer for a few hundred years . I already handled her case kindly . If it were my master, he would break her soul into pieces, and she would need to reincarnate in the Paths of Animals for hundreds of years . After she manages to gather her soul, she will still need to suffer the punishment from hell . ”

Xiao Ma stuck out his tongue and said nothing . After a while, he thought of another matter, “How about Higashino Jun’s soul?”

Ye Shaoyang answered, “Feng Xinyu captured Higashino’s soul in the Soul torturing formation . I transcended him along with Feng Xinyu just now . ”

Xiao Ma thought for a while . At last, he asked a good question, “I don’t understand all that well, but will they still punish Feng Xinyu if she had only killed Higashino Jun and the Colonel? What if she didn’t kill the other innocent people?”

“Naturally, they would still punish her . One’s soul will head to the Netherworld Council after death . The official in-charge will judge the soul according to the merits and demerits during their lifetime . They will punish murderers at the seventh layer of hell, also known as the Mountain of Blades . If everyone who died an unjust death could personally take revenge, wouldn’t the human world be thrown into a mess?”

“Oh, it’s similar to the legal system of our human world,” Xiao Ma said pensively .

Ye Shaoyang nodded and continued, “But let’s say someone tortured you to death in an inhuman way . During that moment, you were enraged and killed your murderer . If you report to the Netherworld Council after that, the officer will mitigate your punishment . The laws of the Netherworld Council are not as strict as rumored . They are compassionate in certain cases . ”

Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath once he left the underground . He felt extremely exhausted, and his body ached to the point that his legs both felt weak . Despite this, he felt totally relieved . He looked back at dormitory four . Then, he smiled and said to Liu Ming, “You can ask my senior brother to do a consecration ritual to clear the Yin Qi completely . After that, you can use this dormitory again . I assure you it is safe from now on . ”

Liu Ming expressed his gratitude to Ye Shaoyang .

Liu Ming drove Ye Shaoyang, Xiao Ma, and Xie Yuqing back to their apartment . Then, he left after he dropped them off .

Ye Shaoyang laid Xie Yuqing down in another bedroom to rest . She was fine, her pulse stable . After Ye Shaoyang checked up on her, he told Xiao Ma, “I need to have a good rest now . She will definitely wake up within two hours . Please take care of her . Tell her to immediately take into custody the weapons in the ammunition depot . She’ll discover valuable weapons there from the time of the Japanese occupation . They might reward her for this . ”

Then, he went to another bedroom . He placed the Qixing Dragon Sword under the pillow and laid on the bed without even changing his clothes . He chanted the mantra once . Shortly after, he fell asleep and dreamed of a valley with beautiful scenery . The spring wind caressed his face . The song of chirping birds and the scent of fragrant flowers surrounded him .

Ye Shaoyang did not realize that this was not a normal dream . He loitered around and appreciated the picturesque environment . It was so relaxing . Suddenly, he heard someone call him from behind, “Sorcerer Ye . ”
