Inside the room.

Chen Hao was sitting cross-legged on the bed, eyes tightly closed, with an apple placed in front of him.

The national Onmyoji Conference was tomorrow, and he was going to have a duel with Luo Pengfei. Therefore, he was repeatedly practicing the soul petrification technique passed on to him by Lu Siwei.

Suddenly, Chen Hao opened his eyes, and an invisible yet warm Yang Energy Power shot out from them.

Immediately, the apple in front of him turned into an apple-shaped stone.

Then, Chen Hao closed his eyes again and, after a while, opened them once more. A cold Yin Qi Spiritual Power surged from his eyes, and the petrified apple returned to its original fresh appearance.

After that, Chen Hao twice more directed Yang Energy Power from his eyes, turning the apple before him into lime.

"This spell is truly magical!" Chen Hao exclaimed once again.

"Yuqiao," Chen Hao then sent a covert message to Ye Yuqiao, who was far away in City H, "have you met Tang Jing and Xiao Feng yet?"

Shortly afterward, Ye Yuqiao sent back a response, "Yes, I have. We are at Master Ye Fei's house right now, preparing to clear out the Soul Corpses in City H later. By the way, Ye Fei's girlfriend and the mermaid Huang Yue are here too, Xiao Feng is holding hands with Huang Yue and chatting on the side, and it seems like Ye Fei's girlfriend is still mad at him. What are you up to, boyfriend? Are you missing me?"

"Yuqiao, I am thinking of you right now," Chen Hao replied. "Everyone is there except me. Call Hua Shan and take me there too, then send me back later."

"Boyfriend, that's probably not a good idea. Every time he uses his technique, it increases the chance of him being discovered by the people from the City of Yin and Time. You should stay in your room and rest early. Tomorrow will probably be another tough battle."

"Okay, I'll practice the spells a few more times and then go to bed. Yuqiao, be careful later, and don't stick the wrong talisman!"

"I know!" Ye Yuqiao replied, her tone a bit impatient, "So that's it, you, you, you."

Noticing that Ye Yuqiao had suddenly started to stutter, Chen Hao asked in confusion, "Yuqiao, what's wrong? What do you want to say?"

"Don't you have anything special you want to say to me at the end?"

Chen Hao couldn't help but laugh twice, feeling suddenly like a newlywed after a brief separation. After coughing twice, he finally said, "Yuqiao, love you, good night."

"Okay!" Ye Yuqiao agreed, her voice tinged with shyness.

"Don't you have a response?" Chen Hao asked.

"No! From now on, you're in charge of saying the mushy stuff, and I'll listen. I'm the queen, after all. You have to accommodate me. That's it; I'm not saying more."

"Alright, then!"

After ending the chat with Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao then took out the Onmyoji Exorcism Spell Book from his chest, reviewing the last page of the spirit communication chapter, which featured twelve talismans.

Just then, suddenly, a trail of fire crossed over the balcony.

Chen Hao, catching a glimpse of the firelight in the corner of his eye, was startled and immediately jumped off the bed to go out on the balcony. Although he saw nothing with his eyes, he could feel a strong Yang Energy Power surrounding him.

Activating Nether Vision in his left eye, he then saw countless burning Yellow Talismans arranged densely before him, each talisman flickering with red light. At the same time, more of the identical Yellow Talismans continuously flew up from a diagonal angle below, eventually rolling over his head, under his feet, and to both sides from the balcony like four open carpets and then spread into the room.

Chen Hao looked in the direction from which the Yellow Talismans had come and saw Huang Can, the chairman of the East Country Yin Yang Master Association, on the left side of the ground below and Ma Xiaokang, who had visited him just the day before, on the right.

Turning around to check the doorway, Chen Hao saw the air outside was likewise filled with densely packed fire talismans. The origins of these talismans corresponded to two other directors of the East Country Yin Yang Master Association.

"Damn it! They're using a Barrier to trap me inside!" Chen Hao exclaimed.

Immediately, he bit his left finger and swiftly wrote the character "break" on his right palm, then gathered all the Yang Energy Power within his body into his right palm and cast a spell-breaking technique towards the talisman array of fire outside the balcony,

A huge glyph emitting golden light, the character "break," appeared, sending the thousands of fire talismans in the array flying.

However, yellow talismans surged up from the ground soon filled the gaps left by the scattered yellow talismans.

"This strange barrier is about to form, and I'm afraid I'll be trapped inside!" Chen Hao said, at a loss for what to do.

..

Night had fallen.

City H.

Just past midnight, Ye Yuqiao, Xie Xiaofeng, Tang Jing, Ye Fei, and Hua Shan, a group of five, arrived at a cold storage factory located in the southern district of City H.

The factory was originally used to freeze, store, and sell fresh meat but ceased its previous operations two months ago after a change of ownership. According to an investigation by Ye Fei and his partner a couple of days ago, a shipment of a thousand Soul Corpses to City H was stored in this cold storage factory.

Ye Fei went ahead to scout. Although it was already past midnight, there were still several cars guarding the entrance to the cold storage factory.

Just as Ye Fei was about to approach and knock out the people in the cars, Hua Shan suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cold storage factory, among the cars.

Ye Fei was shocked, not understanding why Hua Shan was so recklessly moving forward and risking alerting their presence. However, Ye Fei quickly realized that he was wrong because, in the blink of an eye, the cars that had been guarding the front of the factory vanished into thin air.

"What happened?" Ye Fei leaped to Hua Shan's side and asked, "Where did those cars and the people inside them go?"

"Don't worry, they've just temporarily disappeared from our space-time. They'll be back in a couple of days," Hua Shan explained.

Then, Ye Fei pushed open the large doors of the cold storage factory.

As the door opened, Ye Fei saw two pale, sleeping faces.

"Be careful, they're Martial Soul Corpses!" Xie Xiaofeng, who had hurried to the door, called out urgently.

Suddenly, the two Martial Soul Corpses opened their eyes, and their pale faces turned hideous.

Right as the Martial Soul Corpses were about to attack Ye Fei, Ye Yuqiao suddenly appeared behind the two Soul Corpses and attached two talismans specialized in destroying Martial Soul Corpses to their backs.

Instantly, the two Martial Soul Corpses dissipated into a puff of purple smoke.

"Beauty, you're still faster!" Hua Shan said, smiling admiringly.

"Let's go inside and clean up those Soul Corpses," Ye Yuqiao said, with an expressionless face and an extremely cold voice.

Subsequently, the five of them entered the cold storage factory. Since the Soul Corpses were arranged methodically, it saved them a lot of work in identifying which type they were before affixing talismans.

Just like the two Martial Soul Corpses at the door, the other Soul Corpses turned into smoke when the corresponding talismans were attached, though the color of the smoke varied slightly.

Everything had been proceeding smoothly.

Suddenly.

Out of curiosity, Hua Shan decided to stick a talisman used for eliminating Diamond Soul Corpses onto one of the Poisonous Soul Corpses.
