Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

As Jiang Xue finished speaking, she noticed Ling Feng's determined expression.

He sighed helplessly: "The records of information related to the great upheaval were only kept after the Dao An Society was established."

The authorities specifically organized knowledgeable individuals to collect and organize past materials in an attempt to understand the truth of what happened back then!

After all, the sudden decline of Taoism at that time, coupled with the frequent appearances of evil spirits,

This is causing the higher-ups a real headache; they must find a way to get to the bottom of the whole thing.

Otherwise, no one can guarantee that similar incidents won't happen again in the future!

"But back then, the Taoist sects were all descendants of those small, insignificant sects."

They weren't even qualified to participate in the great upheavals of the past, so how much could they possibly know about them?

So... those people who were in charge of taking notes at the time basically remembered all sorts of random things.

They're either just hearsay and rumors, with very little useful information.

Before Jiang Xue could finish speaking, Ling Feng's eyes lit up: "Not too many is fine too..."

"What's the rush? I haven't finished speaking yet!" Her train of thought interrupted, Jiang Xue couldn't help but glance sideways at him.

"Although the documents were kept at the headquarters of the Dao An Hui at the time, the Dao An Hui was not powerful enough to handle them."

During an unexpected encounter with an evil spirit, the headquarters was unexpectedly attacked!

This resulted in the near-total destruction of the entire headquarters, including the files in the archives.

"Holy crap! You mean... even that tiny bit of useful data was lost?"

"Almost...more or less! That's why I said no before." Jiang Xue was quite embarrassed when she talked about it.

"The higher-ups saw that the Dao An Society was not capable of handling all sorts of strange events."

This forced them to disband the Dao'an Society and reorganize the various factions.

At the same time, it selects talents from all over the country, no longer limiting itself to Taoist practitioners.

Once the new system is in place, the Special Affairs Bureau will replace the former Dao An Society!

The records kept by the Special Affairs Bureau were inherited from the Dao An Society.

Hearing this, Ling Feng completely gave up hope; even the official lead had been cut off.

It's probably difficult to find out why the Maoshan lineage experienced a break more than a hundred years ago!

Jiang Xue finished speaking in one breath and finally breathed a sigh of relief, her expression tinged with a hint of melancholy.

He glanced at Ling Feng, whose expression was constantly changing, and softly comforted him:

"Don't be too discouraged. Although the remaining files don't contain anything of value..."

But if you need it, I can go with you to find the chief after we deal with the flying zombies.

"Have him communicate with his superiors and see if he can leverage his connections with the Special Affairs Bureau to find some clues for you!"

"Thank you!" Ling Feng had originally intended to say no, but if the Special Affairs Bureau could help him find clues...

It's better than wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly, right?

Although this action may not mean much, it is still a glimmer of hope.

……

It took Ling Feng some time to finally process the news of the Daoist sect's disappearance.

Only then did he lead Jiang Xue and her group out of the temporary command post.

We arrived at the open space where we had previously made Kongming lanterns, and the offering table that had been set up was still there.

It was left intact in its original place, along with the other decorations.

He didn't have anyone dismantle it; he deliberately kept it as a backup plan.

As expected, everything went much as he had anticipated; the cunning and treacherous flying zombies were indeed not so easy to eliminate.

If his cultivation level were not insufficient, why would he need to set up an altar and rely on the power of the patriarch?

Jiang Xue watched as Ling Feng led them back to this location, and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Didn't you just say you were going to call for help? Why are you making sky lanterns here again?"

Ling Feng looked completely bewildered by the question: "When did I say I was going to make Kongming lanterns?"

Jiang Xue pointed to the props around them: "Then why did you bring us here?"

"Call for backup!"

"Ling Feng, can you stop joking? Your Maoshan sect's techniques are already lost; how are you going to call in reinforcements?"

"Have you ever heard of invoking a god?" Ling Feng turned his head and glanced at her.

"Invoking a deity to possess you?"

"It means the same thing! But I don't need to possess anyone. I just need to ask the Maoshan Patriarch for protection."

"So? What are you planning to do?"

Jiang Xue took a half step back, and her gaze towards the offering table became more solemn.

"Isn't it obvious?" Ling Feng slapped his forehead and complained irritably.

"Don't you think this guy looks familiar? Haven't you seen the movies?"

A sudden realization dawned on Jiang Xue: "You mean to set up an altar and perform a ritual?"

"At least he wasn't completely stupid!" Ling Feng walked to the offering table and replaced some of the materials.

Then, he solemnly took out seven special oil lamps from a box beside him.

These seven oil lamps were not the ordinary oil lamps he used to kill the Ouija board spirit the first time.

Instead, it was a magical artifact that he bought from a street stall for over 100,000 yuan.

That's right, it's a magical artifact!

I wonder which sect's treasure it was that ended up in the mortal world.

If the stall owner hadn't been just an ordinary person, and hadn't simply been selling them as regular antiques,

Any Taoist practitioner with cultivation would never sell them so easily.

Even if someone offered 100 million, Ling Feng would absolutely not make a move.

For example, right now, with these seven magical oil lamps in hand,

When performing the Star-Guiding Lamp Technique, it is combined with the blessing of the altar and the divine power of the ancestral master.

Even if he was only a geomancer, he could still effortlessly subdue the flying zombie.

You can forcibly capture it from a distance, just make sure the distance isn't too far!

But if you only have seven ordinary oil lamps, then forget about it.

Even if he were a Celestial Master, after receiving the same blessing, he still couldn't do it!

Being able to absorb something at the level of a vengeful ghost or a green zombie is already quite impressive.

Therefore, Ling Feng was extremely careful when dealing with these seven special oil lamps.

Jiang Xue, naturally unaware of these intricacies, observed Ling Feng's almost restrained demeanor.

Unable to resist, I asked, "What are you doing? Is there anything special about these seven oil lamps?"

"Nonsense!" Ling Feng glanced at her irritably. "This is a spiritual artifact, don't you understand?"

"A magical artifact?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Xue's fair and radiant face.

"I've heard of this term, but I don't know exactly how precious it is?"

"No way?" Ling Feng suddenly felt a burst of laughter:

"You're the captain of the Special Affairs Bureau, and you don't even know how precious magical artifacts are??"

"I really don't know!"

"Sigh..." Ling Feng sighed, now he really had nothing to say.

"So-called spiritual artifacts are the highest-grade treasures that we mortals can access!"
