From the beginning of this turbid world, the Taoist priest descended the mountain.

The man looked at Lin Ye with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Lin Ye saw murderous intent in his eyes; it seemed that he was the one who had created the gray fog.

The woman in white was a sorcerer from the Yunnan Voodoo Cult, so there was no need to guess who this person was.

The man looked at Lin Ye and said in broken Chinese, "Hand over the stuff, and I can let you die without pain."

They've got quite the nerve, acting so arrogantly on someone else's turf. This is the first time I've ever seen someone in the forestry industry act so cocky.

He immediately gripped the dagger tightly, lowered his legs slightly, and decided to stop talking and start attacking.

Seeing Lin Ye's reaction, the man knew what the other party intended to do.

He immediately raised his wrist, and the scorpion tattoo on his wrist seemed to come alive, with a black scorpion crawling on his wrist. He spread his hands and threw the scorpion down.

But in the blink of an eye, Lin Ye lunged forward, wielding a strangely shaped Tibetan knife, and aimed directly at his own neck.

Wow, that's fast!

He underestimated this Han Chinese.

But what could he do? By the time this Han Chinese movement arrived, he was already dead.

His real weapon wasn't the scorpion in his hand, but the gray mist in front of him.

Just as Lin Ye was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a sharp pain between his ribs, and he almost dropped the Tibetan knife in his hand.

"puff--"

Lin Ye immediately knelt down and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Poisoned! When did this happen?

Suddenly, Lin Ye realized that the strange gray mist around him was not caused by evil spirits at all, but by some kind of strange poisonous fog.

When I did it myself, my breathing quickened, and if I accidentally inhaled the gray mist, I was poisoned.

It's impossible to guard against; I underestimated the evil magic of southern Xinjiang.

Just then, swarms of venomous scorpions began to crawl out of the ground.

The dark-skinned man walked step by step toward the forestry department. He squatted down, his eyes filled with disdain.

Where is that thing?

Decades ago, Ji Qian learned a secret technique in their village, and then fled the village with the secret treasure.

Now he and his sister have found a clue, but his sister unexpectedly died here.

But before A-mei died, she passed on a message to him: Sun Renyi in the Sun residence in Shamen Town had something related to that secret treasure.

Their purpose in coming here is to bring back the secret treasures of the Voodoo Cult to their village.

Lin Ye looked up at the man and smiled.

What are you laughing at?

"I'm laughing because you're already dead."

The man flew into a rage and immediately drove the poisonous scorpions on the ground toward the forest.

Since we can't get any information out of him, let's kill this kid.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

When he lowered his head, he saw a small, fair hand pierce through his chest and rip out his heart.

A young girl with black hair and a bluish complexion, wearing a light blue jacket and a black skirt, stood behind him.

The girl clutched his heart in her hand, blood trickling down her bloodless fingers.

Then, she crushed the heart in her hand.

Blood splattered on her face, hissing black smoke rising from it. The black smoke seeped into her long hair, and in the blink of an eye, her hair grew even longer, from ear-length to shoulder-length.

The scorpions on the ground, now without their handler, began to swarm in all directions. These venomous scorpions, if left unchecked, would certainly cause trouble.

Before him, the girl's cold eyes turned pitch black, and in an instant, the whites of her eyes were replaced by jet black.

"Bang—bang—bang—"

The scorpions scattered around immediately exploded, splattering colorful blood all over the ground.

"Whoosh—"

Lin Ye didn't know where this killing god came from, but he actually dealt with that voodoo cult man so quickly.

However, the closer one gets to this girl, the more one can feel the coldness emanating from her.

Just then, the girl squatted down facing the forestry department.

The next moment, her hand actually pierced between Lin Ye's ribs.

The sudden, intense pain nearly made Lin Ye faint, but for some reason, his five senses became extremely sharp at that moment.

He felt very clearly and vividly that the girl's fingers were scraping across his lungs.

A moment later, she withdrew her hands from between Lin Ye's ribs. A thin layer of grayish viscous fluid dripped from her hands.

Meanwhile, the wounds on Lin Ye's sides are healing rapidly.

He discovered that he was cured of the poison.

He looked at the girl in front of him and felt that she seemed somewhat familiar.

(Return the jade skin of the [turbid vessel] to the world. Even though she has become a [fierce demon], your scent still lingers on that skin. You have successfully left your own seed in this turbid world.)

Hmm? Is this girl the skinless female evil spirit from before?

Lin Ye was taken aback. The other party's eyes were cold, but he didn't do anything to him. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he intended to stall for time by taking out the [turbid artifact], but unexpectedly, it saved him here.

If she hadn't turned into a malevolent spirit, she probably would have perished at the hands of that voodoo cultist.

The law of cause and effect is so mysterious.

Seeing that Lin Ye was alright, the girl left.

As she left, the murky black aura that had enveloped the entire Sun residence slowly dissipated, and the surrounding temperature rose considerably.

Because Lin Ye returned her skin, she didn't harm him. If it had been anyone else, this courtyard would probably be a river of blood tonight.

(【Seeing the Turbid Spirit】you experienced a strange event, where the evil spirit expelled the poison of 'Vine Technique' from your body. While your eyes were opened, you also developed hatred for the disciples and followers of 【Southeast Evil Spirit True Lord】. Divine Sense +1)

(You've been in contact with the [Turbid Vessel] Elixir Pearl for too long, attracting the attention of the attendant of the [True Lord of Western Transmission of Secret Treasures], who slightly raised its eyelids.)

Huh? Lin Ye was taken aback. He looked at the Tibetan Buddhist knife in his hand and seemed to remember the hint in the text earlier.

While this thing can certainly kill evil spirits, it seems that frequent use or contact with it might lead to something bad happening.

He then found another piece of cloth at the Sun family's house and wrapped the Tibetan Buddhist knife in it.

When he walked around the yard, he found that everyone in the yard was lying on the ground, but fortunately they were just knocked out and not dead.

Only Master Sun died. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a person squatting in the corner of the courtyard.

"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry."

The man's voice echoed all around.

Lin Ye laughed. Even if you're a "good brother," we still have to talk about you taking advantage of me for free.

Even the Taoist priest's family has no surplus grain!
