Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 134 The Evil Spirit Claims Life!

Narahara Sora's pleas for mercy sounded particularly jarring in the quiet back mountain.

His sins were so grave that death was the lightest punishment he could ever receive.

Although Miyata has become an evil spirit, and killing is her evil nature, her kindness always prevails, and she maintains her original rationality.

Therefore, Miyata did not choose to end Narahara Sora's life with cruel torture, but gave him a quick death.

As Narahara Sora's figure completely vanished into the void, a tear slid down Miyata's cheek.

Those tears, filled with countless regrets and pain, soaked through her already battered soul.

"Kill me," Miyata said calmly, awaiting his punishment.

Jiang Yuan remained silent for a moment, then chose to respect her wishes.

He knew very well that if he forced Miyata to live, it would be torture for her, and every minute and every second would be an unbearable torment.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan will do as she wishes.

just
"Before you die, at least make sure you have some dignity." Jiang Yuan slowly extended his index finger and touched Miyata's brow.

As he finished speaking, a pale purple spiritual power quietly bloomed at his fingertips, and a soft light spread out like a thin mist.

In this warm glow, Miyata's evil spirit form gradually faded away, returning to its original appearance when they first met.

Wearing a simple long dress and with that unforgettable sweet smile, it was as if she were still alive.

"Thank you." Miyata looked up, met Jiang Yuan's eyes, and said softly.

"You're welcome. Have a good night's sleep," Jiang Yuan replied softly.

The power of the mind surged once more, and the light shone brightly.

Miyata slowly closed his eyes, his expression calm and peaceful.

Her body transformed into countless pink petals, dancing lightly in the night breeze, drifting towards the bright moon in the night sky.
"Good night."

Jiang Yuan gazed at the petals fluttering in the air and murmured softly.

As night deepened, only the moonlight shone down.

Composing himself, Jiang Yuan entered the dilapidated old temple.

In the very center of the hall, a dusty wooden fish sat quietly.

This is the companion vessel of Baxia.

Those who are recognized by the vessel can become the totem guardians of Baxia.

Jiang Yuan put away the wooden fish and flashed back to his Yanming Temple.

…………

The next day, at the crack of dawn.

A slight noise broke the usual tranquility inside Yanming Temple.

The monks are setting up the ritual site.

In one more day, all the monks will hold a religious ceremony.

In fact, the mastermind behind this ritual was the already deceased Narahara Sora, who wanted to use the ritual to kill all the monks who slandered him.

The teammates were still sleeping soundly in their rooms.

Jiang Yuan, however, got up early and went to the place where the ritual was to be held.

“Don’t go near the sacred execution ground,” an older monk stopped him.

Jiang Yuan glanced at him: "Do you know Miyata?"

The monk's pupils contracted, clearly not wanting to bring up the matter, and he said in a serious tone, "Leave this place immediately, or I will have you expelled from Manying Mountain."

The presiding monk, Xinyu, was directing the setup of the ritual site not far away when he saw Jiang Yuan confronting the monks. He walked over.

"Yudou, what happened?"

“He tried to force his way into the execution ground, and I’m trying to persuade him to leave,” Yu Dou blurted out.

Jiang Yuan ignored him and asked Xin Yu the same question: "Do you know Miyata?" Xin Yu was slightly taken aback and asked, "Where did you learn that name?"

"Never mind where I know this, I'm just asking if you know him or not?" Jiang Yuan said impatiently.

Every single one of these monks was a bad person.

Last night, he entered the wooden fish vessel space and relived the memories of Miyata and Narahara Sora.

These monks did indeed misunderstand Miyata at first, but after Miyata died, they not only showed no remorse, but also directly concluded that Miyata had been unfairly blamed and was condemned by many people.

In fact, they already knew that the monk Qihai was having an affair with a woman, but in order to keep the incense offerings of Yanming Temple going, they helped Qihai cover it up.

Many monks were still secretly cursing Miyata.

Miyata, out of kindness, often delivered medicine to Yan Mingsi, but ended up in this predicament.

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Now leave the execution ground immediately, or we will drive you and your friends out of Manying Mountain!" Abbot Xinyu shouted sternly.

His voice attracted all the monks around him, who all stared at Jiang Yuan with ill intent.

“There’s a reason why the temple has declined, you scum of society!” Jiang Yuan said coldly.

The monks were furious upon hearing this, and Abbot Xinyu narrowed his eyes: "Arrest him and all his friends, beat them up, and throw them down the mountain!"

Jiang Yuan sneered.

The monks were about to rush forward when they were horrified to see a giant hand reach out from behind Jiang Yuan.

"Ouch!!!"

"It hurts so much! I'm so hungry!!!!!"

The piercing screams were like rusty gears grinding against eardrums, and everyone felt their temples throbbing as if countless steel needles were churning in their brains.

As the black mist surged, the full form of the ghost gradually became apparent.

The massive body was covered with distorted human faces, each frozen in an expression of extreme pain, with blood and tears slowly flowing down its translucent skin.

Dozens of arms burst out of the body, frantically clawing at the air like greedy octopus tentacles.

"A ghost! It's an evil ghost!"

"The evil spirit has come to claim my life! Don't kill me!"

The monks, being ordinary people, had never witnessed such a terrifying scene before, and were immediately stunned into silence.

“Eat them,” Jiang Yuan said coldly.

Upon receiving the command, the twisted monster roared to the sky, the sound waves causing the tiles of the surrounding houses to fall off in a rustling sound.

It suddenly pounced on the crowd, its arms, glowing with a ghostly blue light, coiling around the monks like serpents, its palms splitting open into gaping maws filled with sharp teeth.

Before the captured people could even scream, their souls were forcibly pulled from their bodies, twisting and struggling in the air before being swallowed into the gaping maw of the demon.

The entire process was bloodless, yet it was more horrifying than any bloody scene!

Once all the monks' souls had been devoured, the twisted ghost frantically ran down the mountain, wanting to continue devouring the souls in the town.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan used his mind control to pull it back, tearing the begging, twisted ghost into several pieces, and then kneading them back together.

After repeating this several times, it finally quieted down.

Jiang Yuan threw it back into the spirit world, then returned to the temple, woke up Mo Fan and the others, and left Yanming Temple.

Several days after they left, it was discovered that all the monks of Yanming Temple were dead, with not a single survivor.

Many people saw their bodies, which appeared to be in pain but without any visible wounds, and speculations that they were victims of evil spirits spreading instantly.

No one knew where Jiang Yuan and his group went, and no one even saw them arrive at Yanming Temple.

In the end, the Yan Mingsi incident was left unresolved.

As for Manying Mountain, where Yan Mingsi lived, no one dared to set foot there anymore because of the rumors of evil spirits claiming lives, and it became deserted.
