This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

A powerful aura erupted from Li Daoxuan.

This was the first time he had ever truly been enraged, a kind of rage that wanted to utterly destroy the other party and ensure their eternal damnation.

It wasn't just because of Master Luo and these innocent people, but also because the vengeful ghost was possessed by the little girl who climbed up the tree every day to listen to his lectures.

No wonder the little girl didn't come this morning; she had already met with misfortune.

Li Daoxuan now only hopes that the little girl's soul is still intact, and that there is still a chance to save her.

"Is it you?"

The vengeful ghost howled and wailed.

Clearly, it recognized Li Daoxuan as the beggar who had injured it in the dilapidated temple that day.

The golden light from that day in the dilapidated temple was still vivid in his mind's eye. The vengeful ghost immediately showed fear, and his yin energy became chaotic. He subconsciously tried to escape.

Li Daoxuan wouldn't give it a chance to escape. He leaped up and blocked the ghost's path.

Holding a yellow talisman in one hand and making hand seals with the other, he was surrounded by golden light, as if a divine soldier had descended from the heavens.

The vengeful ghost was terrified. With a wave of its hands, a cloud of yin energy, like thick smoke, rolled in, leaving frost everywhere it passed and extinguishing the life of plants.

However, as soon as these yin energies came into contact with the golden light on Li Daoxuan's body, they melted away instantly, like frost and snow meeting the scorching sun.

"With a mighty roar, the sun rises in the east; I bestow divine talismans to sweep away misfortune and vanquish evil..."

The exorcising talisman transformed into a stream of light and struck into the billowing yin energy. Wherever it passed, the yin energy dissipated. Although the evil spirit was quite powerful, the Taoist incantations and talismans were clearly its nemesis.

Under the power of Taoist incantations and talismans, it had no power to resist whatsoever.

There's not even a way to dodge it.

The stream of light formed by the talisman seemed to be equipped with precision guidance, always following behind the evil spirit no matter how it moved or dodged.

Li Daoxuan formed hand seals and clasped them together in front of his chest, then uttered a low shout: "Go!"

The magical power within his body burst forth through the center of the hand seal and landed heavily on the talisman.

The talisman's power surged and its speed soared, catching up with the incredibly fast ghost almost instantly.

"ah..."

The moment the talisman landed on her, an extremely piercing scream came from the little girl's mouth.

The yin energy transformed into thick smoke and dissipated from the little girl's body.

A pale figure was forced out of the little girl's body by the talisman and fled out of the courtyard.

Li Daoxuan had no time to pay attention to the little girl; he held a half-finished Five Thunder Talisman in his hand.

"May the five thunderbolts descend to subdue evil spirits, so be it..."

The Five Thunder Talisman suddenly ignited, then burst forth with a blinding blue-silver lightning. As Li Daoxuan raised his hand and waved it, the lightning instantly pierced through the night, illuminating the entire world in white.

No matter how fast a vengeful ghost is, it can't outrun lightning.

Although the Five Thunder Talisman drawn by Li Daoxuan could not attract real heavenly thunder, even a half-finished product was not something this vengeful ghost could withstand.

A cloud of dust rose, accompanied by screams, and the vengeful ghost fell directly to the corner of the courtyard wall.

It had lost all its ferocity and instead resembled a frightened wildcat, huddled in a corner, its face full of terror.

Seeing Li Daoxuan take out the yellow talisman again, the vengeful ghost immediately knelt down and begged for mercy:

"Please spare me, immortal! Please spare me, immortal!"

Li Daoxuan snorted coldly.

"Spare my life? Since you have been blessed by heaven and earth to cultivate a ghost body, you should accumulate more merits and make more good connections. You may have a chance to attain enlightenment in the future."

"But you have indiscriminately killed innocent people, and your karma is heavy. How can I let you live?"

Having said that, Li Daoxuan pinched a talisman to shatter the spirit of the demon and was about to smash it to pieces.

However, at that moment, the gate to the backyard of the Wang residence was suddenly kicked open, and a middle-aged man in official robes, holding an imperial seal, stormed in. He turned to the vengeful ghost in the corner and roared:

"You audacious demon, how dare you harm people within my jurisdiction! You deserve to die..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in official robes threw the official seal in his hand directly at the vengeful ghost.

The vengeful ghost was already terrified upon seeing this, and roared:

"Lord Zhao...it's me..."

Before the vengeful ghost could finish speaking, the official seal unleashed a powerful aura of authority, representing the laws and destiny of the Great Zhao Kingdom, which was deadly to these ghosts.

The vengeful ghost vanished without a trace, offering almost no resistance.

But its last sentence made Li Daoxuan frown.

The middle-aged man in official robes should be the magistrate of Anyi County. He is about forty years old, with a dignified and distinguished appearance.

But for some reason, Li Daoxuan disliked him after just one glance, without any apparent cause.

The magistrate of Anyi County also noticed Li Daoxuan and asked with a serious expression:

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

Just as Li Daoxuan was about to speak, Wang, the scholar, came running out of the room, scrambling and crying, saying:

"Lord Zhao, you've finally arrived..."

The magistrate of Anyi County sighed and said:

"It is my dereliction of duty that I failed to notice a vengeful ghost had entered the county town, causing this calamity to befall the Wang family..."

Wang, the scholar, glanced at Master Luo lying on the ground, and overwhelmed with grief, he cried out:

"If it weren't for Master Luo's desperate protection, how could my Wang family still be alive?"

At this point, Wang Juren turned to look at Li Daoxuan, his eyes filled with gratitude.

Wiping away his tears, Wang Juren stepped forward to Li Daoxuan, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and said:

"Many thanks to Mr. Li for helping me despite past grievances. I, Wang Qingdu, will remember your kindness and repay you with all my heart."

Having said that, Scholar Wang quickly introduced the man to the magistrate of Anyi County:

"Lord Zhao, this is Mr. Li, a highly accomplished man of our time. If it weren't for Mr. Li's help today, my Wang family would be wiped out."

After hearing Wang Juren's introduction, Lord Zhao's serious expression eased slightly. He then cupped his hands towards Li Daoxuan and said:

"Many thanks to Mr. Li for his timely intervention, which has rid Anyi County of this major threat."

Li Daoxuan returned the greeting with clasped hands, offering a few polite words.

He then stepped to the little girl's side, gently picked her up, and turned to Lord Zhao and Scholar Wang, saying:

"I have other important matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

Having said that, Li Daoxuan lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his figure, like a startled swan, flew gracefully into the distance, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Watching Li Daoxuan depart, a strange light flashed in Lord Zhao's eyes, and he murmured softly:

"What superb light-footed skill..."

Wang, the scholar, couldn't help but sigh:

"Mr. Li is truly an extraordinary person."

Wang Juren was truly amazed by Li Daoxuan's methods of fighting... no, it should be called torturing and killing the vengeful ghost.

It seems that in Li Daoxuan's hands, the vengeful ghost is the victim. Even he, as an observer, felt less fear of the vengeful ghost.

"Who is this Mr. Li?"

Lord Zhao suddenly asked.

Scholar Wang sighed and said:

"I don't know who Mr. Li is. Speaking of which, my Wang family has had a grudge against Mr. Li in the past. I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so magnanimous and willing to help me without holding a grudge. Such a broad mind is truly admirable..."

Seeing the Wang family's miserable state, Lord Zhao couldn't bear to disturb them any longer. He offered a few words of comfort and then left the Wang residence with his men.

On the other side, Li Daoxuan carried the little girl back to the courtyard. He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he felt the effect of the Heavenly Soldier Talisman on his body rapidly fading.

He dared not delay, and quickly sat down cross-legged, calling out loudly into the room:

"Gentle breeze..."
