quare meters big.Xi Yue and Yun Xi got off at the entrance of her neighborhood compound. He looked up to see large gilded characters above the gate reading "XXX Living District." Upon hearing Yun Xi's...Chapter 164: The Attracting Thunder Seal

Xiao Yu watched coldly as everything unfolded, knowing that all this was just an illusion created by the lingering resentment in the room. Its purpose was to provoke Xiao Yu into attacking these illusions and deplete his essence energy and talismans.

"Heh heh, put away those petty tricks! Why bother making a fool of yourself" Xiao Yu sneered as he looked at the old Taoist from afar.

Seeing the confusion in the ghost mother's eyes, Xiao Yu knew that the Nine Sons Ghost Mother had been controlled by this old Taoist.

"Humph."

The old Taoist saw that Xiao Yu wasn't deceived by the illusions created from resentment. He let out a cold snort and felt very resentful but could do nothing about it; he could only use hand seals to command the Nine Sons Ghost Mother to put away all the lingering resentment in the room, otherwise, he would truly end up making a fool of himself.

As soon as the Nine Sons Ghost Mother gathered all the resentment back into itself, the room lit up again. The ghosts surrounding Xiao Yu and the wailing inside the room disappeared without a trace.

"Heh heh, Daoist friend, I'll give you some more time to think about it. Join me, and we can work together. Not only will we eat delicious food and drink fine wine, but we’ll also have endless wealth and women!" The old Taoist looked at the figure in black with a smile on his face; his voice was filled with charm.

In the old Taoist's heart, he thought Xiao Yu must be a rogue or an outsider since where else would he get such a formidable evil weapon Furthermore, seeing how clean and efficient Xiao Yu had killed those dozen men without hesitation made him believe that Xiao Yu must not be from the righteous path.

If someone who was righteous could kill so many people without changing their expression, or have such intense killing intent So, he harbored intentions of recruiting Xiao Yu to serve under him.

"Demon Daoist, don't waste your thoughts. Your little lord is here today to kill you!" said Xiao Yu with a blank expression as he looked at the old Taoist in front of him.

"Heh heh, kill me Why We have no grudge and we've never met before!" The old Taoist sneered when he heard what Xiao Yu had to say. He was very curious about why Xiao Yu insisted on killing him since he didn't remember ever offending someone like Xiao Yu.

"Do I need a reason"

After saying that, Xiao Yu casually flicked out a Evil Repelling Talisman towards the old Taoist.

"Hahaha, do you think it's easy to kill your lord Let’s see if you have what it takes!" The old Taoist saw the talisman flying toward him but didn’t bother dodging. Instead, he made hand seals and let out a series of strange laughs.

As soon as the old Taoist made his hand seals, the Nine Sons Ghost Mother behind him, carrying a thick aura of yin and resentment, floated forward to block in front of the old Taoist.

"Ah!" Xiao Yu's Evil-Dispelling Talisman struck the Nine-Son Ghost Mother, igniting a burst of firelight. Although this flame quickly extinguished, the Nine-Son Ghost Mother let out a cry of pain.

"Heh heh, now you know how powerful Master Dao is!"

The old Taoist saw that his Evil-Dispelling Talismans could only make the Nine-Son Ghost Mother cry out in pain without causing any injuries and couldn't help but laugh triumphantly at Xiao Yu.

As the Nine-Son Ghost Mother cried out in pain, no one noticed her previously blank eyes suddenly becoming clear as she looked towards the old Taoist standing behind her.

A cold hatred flashed through the Nine-Son Ghost Mother's eyes when she saw the smug grin on the old Taoist's face. This hatred sank deep into her soul.

Xiao Yu frowned slightly upon seeing that his Evil-Dispelling Talismans were not harming either the old Taoist or the Nine-Son Ghost Mother in any way.

He was now too cautious to dare leave his body. If he was careless and got entangled by the Nine-Son Ghost Mother, an attack from behind by the old Taoist would be disastrous for him.

Afraid of the powerful Nine-Son Ghost Mother mentioned in Judge Cai's memory, who had only appeared once over a thousand years, seeing this one made Xiao Yu rather uneasy.

"Sorcerer, don't gloat!"

Xiao Yu said coldly and then carefully took out another talisman from his backpack.

The Lightning-Attracting Talisman—Xiao Yu had only managed to draw one in the entire afternoon. It wasn't that he couldn't draw more; it was because this single talisman consumed over seventy percent of his righteous qi.

Don't underestimate this talisman. Before the great calamity, a Lightning-Attracting Talisman might just be an introductory-level talisman for some practitioners of esoteric arts.

But at present, drawing a Lightning-Attracting Talisman is extremely difficult. The current era has too little primordial qi in the universe, and people's cultivation levels have decreased.

And most modern practitioners of esoteric arts follow the Daoist path, using their minds to guide the primordial qi into talismans, filling them completely with primordial qi and forming a perfect circulation. The more complex the talisman, the higher the requirements for its drawer.

In the age before the great calamity, an individual could draw a talisman as long as they could guide the primordial qi within a five-meter radius with their mind. But now, this person needs to guide the primordial qi within fifty meters or even five hundred meters.

It is precisely for this reason that some complex and relatively powerful talismans gradually disappeared in the long river of history.

Only a very small number of sects with complete lineages can draw these talismans in places where primordial qi is relatively abundant, and such places are kept secret within many sects.

The old Taoist saw Xiao Yu solemnly take out a talisman and knew that this talisman must be extraordinary. Therefore, as soon as Xiao Yu took out the talisman, he quickly formed hand seals to control the Nine-Child Ghost Mother to stand in front of himself.

"Phew!"

Wielding the lightning-attracting talisman, Xiao Yu silently recited an incantation and then shouted loudly, throwing the lightning-attracting talisman towards the old Taoist.

The lightning-attracting talisman moved like lightning, heading straight for the old Taoist. Seeing the approaching dark thunder talisman, the old Taoist hurriedly backed away, but this talisman followed him closely like a pest clinging to his bones.

Seeing that he could not avoid this talisman no matter what, the old Taoist took out another talisman and threw it at the lightning-attracting talisman behind him. However, this talisman did nothing to stop the advance of the lightning-attracting talisman.

The old Taoist turned back and saw that Xiao Yu had his hands clasped together in front of him, silently chanting an incantation to control the lightning-attracting talisman.

Although the old Taoist did not know what kind of talisman this was, he could tell from Xiao Yu's demeanor that it was no ordinary talisman because a regular talisman doesn't need human intervention to be controlled.

As an expert in esoteric arts himself, he naturally knew that as long as he interrupted Xiao Yu, the threat posed by this talisman would be largely eliminated.

The old Taoist gave up on trying to retrieve another talisman upon seeing how close the talisman was getting to him. His own talismans couldn't stop this one anyway; it would just waste time.

Since he abandoned the talisman approach, the only option left was to use the Nine-Child Ghost Mother. The old Taoist ran and dodged Xiao Yu's talismans in the hall while simultaneously forming hand seals to control the Nine-Child Ghost Mother.

The old Taoist controlled the Nine-Child Ghost Mother to charge at Xiao Yu, a smug smile playing on his lips as he thought, "Let's see how you control your talisman now."

Xiao Yu, who was controlling the talisman, saw that the Nine-Child Ghost Mother was about to attack him and immediately became vigilant in watching it. However, the incantation in his mouth did not stop; he continued to control the talisman towards the old Taoist.

Xiao Yu didn't expect the fifty-something-old man to run just as fast as a young person.

Glancing at the Nine-Child Ghost Mother that would soon be beside him, Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes wide and clenched his teeth. The speed of his incantation recitation sharply increased, and the talisman behind the old Taoist also suddenly accelerated.

The Nine-Child Ghost Mother, which was originally flying towards Xiao Yu, had already regained her clarity and sanity; she no longer appeared as confused and aimless as before.

Aboard the flying ghost mother, seeing the old Taoist frantically dodging talismans, it naturally knew that this talisman was extraordinary.

The Nine-Child Ghost Mother stared at the old Taoist with hatred surging in her heart. If not for him, how would she end up like this And why would she have to live such a wretched existence for so many years

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing to drink his blood and eat his flesh. Seeing that the talisman was now closely pursuing the old Taoist, she immediately abandoned her plan of rushing towards Xiao Yu and instead turned around to fly towards him, enveloping him in the most violent yin煞 energy and resentment, leaving only his back exposed for the talisman.

Xiao Yu, who had been vigilantly watching the Nine-Child Ghost Mother, was suddenly surprised when he saw that it abandoned him and rushed towards the old Taoist. He couldn't help but reveal a strange look, puzzled in his heart!

During Xiao Yu's brief moment of surprise, the talisman originally headed for the old Taoist abruptly stopped. When Xiao Yu looked at the Nine-Child Ghost Mother again, he found that her eyes no longer showed confusion but were clear and continuously howling towards him.

Xiao Yu immediately reacted; his secret incantation sounded again, causing the talisman, which had previously been uncontrollably falling downwards, to suddenly rush towards the old Taoist once more.

The old Taoist, who was dodging Xiao Yu's talismans, suddenly felt that his connection with the Nine-Child Ghost Mother had been forcibly severed. Alarmed, he turned to look in Xiao Yu's direction, only to feel a violent yin煞 energy and resentment surging towards him.

Feeling this familiar yin煞 energy tightly enveloping him, the old Taoist was shocked. He thought, "What's going on Shouldn't the Nine-Child Ghost Mother be attacking that black-clothed man instead of me"

The old Taoist hadn't even had time to think it through when Xiao Yu's talismans struck him several times.

"Ha ha!" Seeing Xiao Yu's talisman strike his body without causing any discomfort, the old Taoist burst out laughing.

“Bang bang”

The old Taoist’s laughter hadn't subsided when a clap of thunder echoed in the basement hall. Looking up at the sky upon hearing the sound, he saw a lightning bolt as thick as his thumb descending towards him.

"Thunder-attracting talisman"

Seeing the lightning in mid-air, the old Taoist looked dumbfounded and muttered to himself.eir faces. They felt honored to know Xiao Yu and even more so because he treated them with such courtesy.As Xiao Yu approached the judges' seats, the two judges who had met him at the exchange meeting...
