Xiao Mu knitted his brows.

He did not need to look to know that the purpose of this Vajra Bracelet from Qing Yan was defense, intended to prevent Yin Spirits from entering.

Having no understanding of the trap formation, Qing Yan obviously thought that Xiao Mu was drawing defensive arrays around his own altar table to prevent evil ghosts from approaching him.

So after throwing the Yin-Yang Bridge as a path for the evil ghost, Qing Yan took countermeasures, throwing a Vajra Bracelet over the outside of Xiao Mu's altar table to prevent the evil ghost from approaching Xiao Mu's side.

This was revenge!

Xiao Mu saw what was happening and a faint smile appeared on his face.

The truth is that the Vajra Bracelet thrown by Qing Yan will not significantly affect his side. Because after the spirit tablet of Old Xu was called over by Qing Yan, it happened to encounter the time when Old Lady Zhou and Old Zheng, who had a deep hatred with him, released their intense resentment. The evil ghost is destined to be attracted to Qing Yan's side.

Therefore, it doesn't matter anymore whether the altar table on Xiao Mu's side is covered by the Vajra Bracelet.

Moreover, the Vajra Bracelet covering the altar table and preventing the evil ghost from entering, to a certain extent, does provide some protection for the Yin Spirits on the altar table.

However, despite this, the actions of Daoist Qing Yan still irritated Xiao Mu.

With a slight smile, he walked towards the Vajra Bracelet.

At the same time, he said to Daoist Qing Yan, "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist. I know that you have set the protection for the altar table in advance to prevent the evil ghost from entering."

"But I'm afraid your arrangement is inadequate. When the evil ghost comes, you won't be able to stop it. I appreciate your kindness, but as for the defensive arrangement, let me handle it."

After finishing his words, he extended the Peach Wood Sword and gently tapped it on the Vajra Bracelet.

He channeled the Dao Method Spiritual Energy through the Peach Wood Sword and landed it on the Vajra Bracelet.

This is Xuanmen Zhenggang, the righteous path in the human world, all evils retreat!

Puff!

The Daoist energy attached to the Vajra Bracelet of Qing Yan was instantly disrupted, and it shrunk to the size of an ordinary bracelet.

"You..."

Upon seeing this, Daoist Qing Yan was utterly shocked.

This Vajra Bracelet, among all his treasures, was not ordinary. It was a replica he made based on the legendary Vajra Talisman.

Though it could not even begin to compare to the legendary Vajra Talisman in terms of power, this Vajra Bracelet he made did accomplish some unique effects.

The most significant one being defense.

As soon as the Vajra Bracelet lands, an immediate defensive circle is formed that evil ghosts can't break through.

Daoist Qing Yan once used this bracelet to contain an evil ghost, and the ghost couldn't break the bracelet no matter how it tried.

Eventually, the evil ghost was easily defeated by Qing Yan using a Peach Wood Sword.

Who would have thought, this time when he met Xiao Mu, just a light touch with a Peach Wood Sword and his Vajra Bracelet was easily broken.

This left Qing Yan astounded.

This man named Mu might truly be more powerful than him!

"Daoist, here's your bracelet!"

Xiao Mu picked up the Vajra Bracelet and threw it directly towards Daoist Qing Yan.

"You!"

Daoist Qing Yan instantly became as tense as if he were facing a great enemy. He quickly held his Peach Wood Sword and Bagua Mirror in his hands, thinking that Xiao Mu was going to attack him with the thrown bracelet.

He prepared himself, ready to counterattack.

Who would have thought...

Bang! Snap!

The bracelet just lightly landed on the ground, making a clear impact sound.

Xiao Mu had no intention of attacking Qing Yan, he simply threw the bracelet away casually.

The face of Daoist Qing Yan turned from green to red, hesitated for a moment, and then bent over to pick up his bracelet.

He didn't initially intend on bending down to pick up the bracelet. After all, the Vajra Bracelet had been broken by Xiao Mu, and thrown back to him, which made him feel humiliated.

However, this bracelet was greatly beneficial to him. It could be used to deal with the evil ghost after its emergence, so he had no choice but to pick it up.

As soon as the bracelet was in his hand, and he took one glance, Daoist Qing Yan's face couldn't hide his distraught expression anymore.

The talisman on the bracelet had been dispelled by Xiao Mu, meaning that if Qing Yan wanted to continue using this bracelet, he would have to reform it.

The reformation process required time, which they indisputably didn't have at the moment.

"Bah!"

With fury, Qing Yan spat out a mouthful of saliva and viciously threw the bracelet on the ground.

Such ill luck!

This man was simply infuriating!

After throwing the bracelet back, Xiao Mu no longer paid attention to Qing Yan, and directly began to set up the array around his own altar table.

It was still a trap formation.

Unlike the trap formation on Qing Yan's side, this side's trap was intended to protect the spirit tablets arranged on the altar table.

Once the blood demon emerged and Mr. Xu transformed into an evil ghost, the ensuing chaos and battle might leave him without sufficient energy to protect the spirit tablets on the altar. Therefore, he had to take some preemptive measures.

With this trap formation, it would obviously be much easier. At least he wouldn't have to juggle everything when the blood demon appeared.

Soon, the trap formation was successfully set up and likewise disappeared into the ground.

During this time, Daoist Qing Yan kept staring intently at Xiao Mu setting up the formation, and quickly noticed that the array Xiao Mu was setting up on his side was identical to the one on Qing Yan's side.

Why was this?

Qing Yan couldn't help feeling puzzled.

If Mu was setting up an array on his side to prevent attracting the evil ghost to his side, why would he set up an identical array on his side?

However, Qing Yan couldn't be bothered to mull over this. Regardless, in his view, everything Xiao Mu was setting up was certainly with malicious intent.

All that was left now was to wait.

At noon and dusk, Village Chief Hao brought food from the village for Xiao Mu and Qing Yan to eat.

With nothing happening during the day, it gradually turned into evening, as the sky started to darken.

It was clearly a sunny day, but the moment it became night in the area where the Earth Altar was located, a surge of ill aura burst from the altar towards the sky, even altering the sky's appearance in this area.

The area near the temple became dark, where one couldn't see their hand before their eyes.

Whether it was Xiao Mu or Qing Yan, their expressions turned increasingly solemn.

Given the astonishing changes in the sky, it was clear that the evil ghost lurking beneath the Earth Altar was rather powerful.

Xiao Mu, who had long known that the evil ghost lurking beneath the Earth Altar was a blood demon, was relatively calm.

Clearly, Daoist Qing Yan lacked experience dealing with blood demons, hence he appeared panicked. He brandished his Peach Wood Sword, Duster, Yin-Yang Crown, Yin-Yang Taoist Robe, and Bagua Mirror, dressing in full gear and anxiously waiting for the emergence of the evil ghost.

Whoo, whoo!

Suddenly, ghostly cries echoed through the air, scaring Village Chief Hao into shrinking into a ball and hurriedly seeking refuge in a corner.

A strong smell of blood emerged, signaling the impending arrival of the blood demon.

Whenever a blood demon appeared, it was inevitably accompanied by a strong smell of blood. This smell bore an intense corroding quality that would make anyone want to vomit.

Village Chief Hao instantly threw up on the spot.

A streak of 'blood light' suddenly appeared on the Earth Altar. It moved with astonishing speed, swiftly shooting towards Qing Yan's altar along the Yin-Yang Bridge.

"I've had such a miserable death! Elder Zhou, Elder Zheng, yield your lives!"

Within the temple, a ghostly aura lurked. Unexpectedly, it was not the blood demon that began to change first, but Mr. Xu.

As soon as the blood demon began to emerge, Mr. Xu transformed into an evil ghost showing his ghostly form, lunging towards the spirit tablets of Elder Zhou and Elder Zheng.

Qing Yan's face instantly changed, as he hadn't expected Xiao Mu's claims to actually come true. Immediately, he descended into panic.
