In the hall filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, there was a bed temporarily moved in.
The girl sleeping on the bed was Elder Qi Rui’s favorite disciple, a demon cultivator prodigy who had entered the Golden Core realm at the age of nineteen.
However, this talented demon cultivator was attacked by soone last night with so kind of curse or witchcraft and nearly lost her life in her sleep.
Even though Qi Rui saved her beloved disciple in ti, Qin Haie was still severely injured.
Today, Qi Rui had invited three other elders of the Demon Refining Sect to join forces to exorcise the evil from her disciple.
Yet, even with the combined efforts of the four elders, they could not dispel the evil spirit from Qin Haie.
—Or rather, they could not find any trace of the evil spirit on Qin Haie.
Among the four, Ge Hongshan was an expert in the art of talismans and curses.
Having studied talismans and curses for many years, he was also familiar with various evil thods such as curses and witchcraft.
These kinds of evil arts usually rely on so malevolent object as a dium to harm others.
If the source of the dium could be found and cleansed, the evil spirit could be expelled.
However, after a thorough investigation, he found no trace of any malevolent dium on Qin Haie, making it impossible to trace the source.
It seed as though this favored female disciple of Elder Qi Rui had not been cursed at all.
But what happened last night could not have been false.
The curse that had afflicted Qin Haie was so kind of more secretive and powerful evil art.
Therefore, after discussion, they decided to let Qin Haie fall asleep and enter a dream to draw out the evil spirit once again.
Then, the four elders in reality could trap the evil spirit within Qin Haie’s dream and destroy it.
This was the simplest and most reliable thod. With the four elders of the Demon Refining Sect working together to directly kill the source of the evil, there was no way it could escape.
…In theory, that’s how it should be.
But when the injured Qin Haie lay on the temporarily moved bed and fell asleep, the four elders forming a formation around the bed were shocked.
Because in this room, vaguely sealed by the formation, there was no trace of an evil spirit nor any sign that the evil entity had appeared, yet the sleeping Qin Haie began to scream in terror.
“Don’t kill ! Don’t kill !”
Qin Haie on the bed shook her head desperately, her face full of horror.
She seed to have seen sothing extrely terrifying but was unable to break free.
Qi Rui’s face showed pain after seeing her disciple’s reaction.
She imdiately looked at Ge Hongshan and asked, “Elder Ge, shall we take action now?”
Ge Hongshan stood at the eastern position by the bed, his face grim.
“She just fell asleep and it’s already here… such a persistent evil spirit!”
He had not sensed the evil entity’s quick actions, and it had already entered the dream.
This was against common sense!
But under everyone’s gaze, Ge Hongshan remained calm: “Elder Qi, do not be alard. With the four of us here today, we will surely make that evil spirit fail and flee!”
As a master of talismans and curses, Ge Hongshan naturally had such confidence.
He had delved into countless curses in this world and understood them.
Although the evil entity at hand was sowhat strange, he was confident in his ability to resolve it.
“The three elders, please light the longevity incense in your hands! Use the smoke to form a formation, locking Qin Haie’s dream so that the evil entity cannot escape!”
As Ge Hongshan’s words fell, the elders surrounding the bed simultaneously lit the longevity incense in their hands.
The misty smoke rose in the hall, eventually filling the space.
From the outside, the entire hall seed to be enveloped in smoke.
The hazy mist vaguely ford a huge cage. And in the center of this cage, the sleeping Qin Haie continued to cry out as if running desperately in a nightmare.
Above her body, the mist faintly outlined a figure that was constantly running.
That was Qin Haie.
The mist-ford Qin Haie looked back in fear as she ran, and behind her, a strange shadow gradually took shape in the mist.
Long, disturbing legs dangled in the void like the tentacles of a monster combined with the colorful and vivid costu of a female opera role painted a horrifying picture.
This monster appeared and disappeared next to Qin Haie, sotis close, sotis far.
It emitted a hissing eerie sound from its mouth, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
The four elders present were all top demon cultivators accustod to all manner of demons and ghosts.
Yet, they still felt an uncontrollable tingling on their scalps when they heard this strange sound.
It was as if so ‘ancient’ fear in their blood had been awakened…
A flicker of surprise flashed in Ge Hongshan’s eyes.
“This evil creature…”
He has never seen it before!
At this mont, Ge Hongshan suddenly had a bad premonition.
The smoke outlined the contents of Qin Haie’s dream, revealing the evil creature’s traces.
However, none of the people present had ever seen such an evil creature, not even the curse Grandmaster Ge Hongshan.
“Everyone, let’s focus! We must imdiately lock down the dream and join forces to slay this evil creature!”
Sensing the urgency, Ge Hongshan did not delay and imdiately called upon the elders to unite.
As soon as they used the smoke from the longevity incense to slay the projection of the evil creature, its real body would also collapse.
This was the most straightforward thod of exorcism.
Could this bizarre creature withstand a joint strike from the four Demon Refining Sect elders?
As Ge Hongshan finished speaking, the four of them exerted their power at the sa ti, and the longevity incense they held burned rapidly.
From the swiftly burning incense, strands of dark red mist erged.
As soon as this red mist appeared, it ford a fine demonic net in mid-air.
Then the four elders made their move together, and the demonic net, ford by the convergence of their demonic power, descended directly overhead, aiming to envelop the strange evil shadow drifting in the smoke.
Once the demonic net captured the projection of the evil creature, its real body would also perish!
Ge Hongshan’s eyes were fixed on the evil shadow that appeared and disappeared within the smoke.
He watched as the red demonic net descended from the sky and enveloped the shadow fiercely.
But the next second, sothing bizarre happened.
The net passed right through the projection of the evil creature, unable to inflict any harm.
Instead, the evil shadow in the smoke easily caught up with the fleeing Qin Haie and tore a piece of flesh from her shoulder.
“Ah! My hand! My hand!”
Qin Haie on the bed scread miserably as flesh was torn from her in the dream and blood spurted from her shoulder.
In reality, she was indeed missing a piece of flesh.
Seeing this horrifying bloody scene and the strange occurrence of the demonic net failing to capture the evil creature, Ge Hongshan’s expression darkened as he finally rembered what this evil creature was.
“This is an ancient evil charm, the Flesh and Bone Spirit Puppet!”
“Our longevity incense can’t lock it down because it’s not actually in Qin Haie’s dream.”
“It’s using so unknown and bizarre thod to remotely harm Qin Haie’s soul!”
