This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Li Daoxuan watched from afar, refraining from making any rash moves.

The group of people stood by the well, and the young man named Ye Tingzhou whispered to the others:

"Get ready, I'm going to break open the well..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others took out a bronze mirror, on which were engraved some unknown patterns.

Ye Tingzhou drew his sword, aimed it at the iron chain at the well opening, and swung it with a swift motion.

"bite..."

A crisp metallic clang rang out, and the chain snapped.

Ye Tingzhou grabbed the stone slab, raised his hand and flipped it, sending the heavy slab flying and crashing to the side.

In an instant, a visible, sinister aura gushed forth from the well, accompanied by a chilling, piercing roar.

"Wow... such heavy yin energy..."

Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

Judging from the yin energy alone, the vengeful ghost in the well was clearly many levels higher than the vengeful ghost he encountered when he first transmigrated.

It's even close to becoming a reality.

It's easy to imagine that the power of this vengeful ghost in the well far surpasses that of the previous one.

The moment the well opening was lifted, the boys standing by the well immediately stretched out the bronze mirrors in their hands.

Six people, facing each other in pairs, each with their own bronze mirror.

Golden rays shone directly from the bronze mirror, connecting with the bronze mirror in the hand of the companion opposite, intersecting to form a net of light.

Just then, the vengeful ghost in the well rushed out and crashed into the net of light.

"ah..."

A piercing scream rang out, and the net of light seemed to be a force that restrained the vengeful ghost, directly knocking it back.

Ye Tingzhou, the only one not holding a bronze mirror, now had a black gourd in his hand. He quickly removed the wooden stopper from the gourd's mouth, bit his finger, and smeared the blood inside the gourd's mouth.

Then he leaped up, jumped onto the well's edge, placed his feet on either side of the opening, peered into the well with his gourd, and shouted sharply:

"Fellow disciples, force it out..."

"yes..."

The other white-clad youths, including Nangong Jue, did not hesitate for a moment and all pointed their bronze mirrors at the well.

In Li Daoxuan's eyes, he could clearly see the "true energy" in their bodies surging wildly into the bronze mirror.

After being turned by the bronze mirror, it transformed into a dazzling golden pillar that shot straight down to the bottom of the well.

"ah..."

Another piercing scream rang out. The vengeful ghost in the well had nowhere to hide and could only soar into the sky, trying to escape.

However, just as it escaped to the wellhead, a terrifying suction force came from above, trying to pull it into the gourd.

"Who goes there? What are you doing?"

Just then, an enraged voice rang out.

It turned out that Magistrate Zhao of Anyi County had heard the commotion and rushed over.

At this moment, Ye Tingzhou was locked in a struggle with the vengeful ghost and had no time to spare, so he could only look at Nangong Jue, the strongest among them, and say:

"Go and deal with him..."

Nangong Jue sneered, put away the bronze mirror, and instantly drew the sword from his waist, charging towards Lord Zhao.

Lord Zhao clearly didn't know the extent of his strength, and threw a punch at Nangong Jue.

Before he could even get close, Nangong Jue simply raised his hand, and a powerful force sent him flying through the air.

Lord Zhao only then realized that the other party was actually a fourth-realm Grand Martial Master who could project his true qi...

"How dare you! I am the magistrate of Anyi County! How dare you lay a hand on an official appointed by the imperial court..."

Nangong Jue didn't care whether he was an official of the imperial court or not. He grinned, his eyes full of cruelty.

"Perfect timing, I'm already seething with anger. You're just unlucky to have run into me..."

Without hesitation, Nangong Jue swung his sword down, and a sword aura that was visible to the naked eye arrived in an instant. Under this sword aura, let alone Lord Zhao, who was only a first-level martial artist who had barely entered the realm, even a third-level expert like Jiang Wei would almost certainly die.

But Lord Zhao was lucky today; he met someone willing to meddle in other people's business.

Just as the sword energy was about to strike, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of Lord Zhao.

With a casual wave of his hand, the deadly sword energy changed direction and landed on the courtyard wall not far away.

A huge gap was cleaved in the one-foot-thick courtyard wall, and more than half of it collapsed.

Lord Zhao was terrified, feeling a chill run down his spine and his clothes instantly soaked with cold sweat.

If that weapon had been used on him, he would probably be dead and torn to pieces by now.

"Mr. Li... Mr. Li..."

Lord Zhao said in surprise.

Nangong Jue frowned and looked coldly at Li Daoxuan, seemingly assessing his strength.

Li Daoxuan's expression was cold, and his eyes were full of seriousness.

"You kill without hesitation. Is human life so worthless in your eyes?"

Li Daoxuan questioned him.

Just as Nangong Jue was about to retort, the screams of the vengeful ghost from the well mouth suddenly interrupted him.

Lord Zhao, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly sprang to his feet and stumbled toward the well as if he were in a frenzy.

"Stop! Stop it..."

However, before he could get close, the vengeful ghost sealed in the well was directly put into the gourd by Ye Tingzhou.

Upon seeing this, Lord Zhao froze on the spot for a few seconds, then his eyes turned bloodshot, and he roared like a madman as he lunged at Ye Tingzhou.

"court death..."

Nangong Jue was furious and drew his sword again.

Li Daoxuan had no choice but to raise his hand and pull Lord Zhao into the air, barely dodging the sword strike.

"Lord Zhao, calm down..."

Li Daoxuan said softly.

However, Lord Zhao remained as if he had gone mad, continuing to roar at Ye Tingzhou:

"Give her back to me, give me back my embroiderer..."

Seeing this, Li Daoxuan gradually began to guess. Clearly, the person in front of that vengeful ghost must be someone extremely important to Lord Zhao.

Ye Tingzhou ignored Lord Zhao and looked at Li Daoxuan with a solemn expression.

He stepped forward, facing Li Daoxuan directly, cupped his hands, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice:

"You must be Doctor Li from Taiyi Medical Clinic?"

Li Daoxuan nodded.

"Exactly."

Ye Tingzhou smiled and said politely:

"My junior brother and your disciple had some misunderstanding during the day, and Ye Tingzhou apologized to Doctor Li on his behalf."

"Please, Doctor Li, do not interfere in this matter. We will leave this place early tomorrow morning, and we will never see each other again."

"how?"

Lord Zhao's eyes were bloodshot as he pointed at Ye Tingzhou and roared:

"You can't leave unless you give me back the embroiderer..."

Ye Tingzhou glanced at him coldly and said indifferently:

"This vengeful ghost has already grown powerful. If left unchecked, it may transform into a ghost king-level creature. At that time, your entire city will become its prey."

"I'm taking it away for you; I'm doing this to rid the people of a scourge. As the local official, you should cooperate."

Having said that, Ye Tingzhou ignored Lord Zhao's roars, simply cupped his hands in greeting to Li Daoxuan, and prepared to leave with his men.

However, just as they were about to step out of the courtyard, a sword light suddenly descended from the sky and blocked their way.

When the sword light dissipated, everyone realized that it was just a bamboo branch.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan's voice drifted over.

Did I tell you to leave?
