Spirit Hunters of Maoshan Sect

The female spirit did not make a sound, so Ye Shaoyang sternly demanded, “Name and why you attacked . Lie and I’ll destroy your soul!”

The female spirit still did not make a sound .

Ye Shaoyang instantly felt bewildered . Since a broken soul would mean hundreds of years of suffering, he found it strange that the female spirit would not respond to his threat, Could it be that she doesn’t fear suffering?

Even Xiao Ma did not understand this and asked, “Why isn’t she responding? Is she deaf?”

Impossible, Ye Shaoyang thought . After all, every part of her spirit was present, and no spell was holding her back . Ye Shaoyang frowned, as he did not understand why she would not reply . Then, a thought suddenly came to his mind . Ye Shaoyang quickly took out a talisman paper and wrote charm . Then, he stuck it onto the female spirit and yelled, “Break!”

Instantly, a layer of Spirit Qi exited the female spirit . Ye Shaoyang swiftly moved behind her and found red strings seemingly inserted into seven areas of her spirit . The strings seemed very taut, while the other end simply led to the deeper end of the garden .

“Seven-String Soul Binding Technique!” Ye Shaoyang exclaimed . He immediately took out his Soul Quelling Stake and sliced toward the strings . However, the female spirit backed away, her arms flailing . At the same time, all the trees shook and flowers instantly filled the air for seemingly no reason .

Ye Shaoyang quickly pulled out his sword and sliced through the flowers that contained Yin Qi . As soon as took his course of action, the flowers dropped to the ground . However, when Ye Shaoyang looked around, the female spirit was no longer in sight .

“Where did she go?” Xiao Ma asked .

“She got pulled back . ”

“By who? And where?”

Ye Shaoyang did not answer him . However, he had some possible answers in mind already .

Ye Shaoyang held the Qixing Dragon Sword and continued deeper into the garden . Xiao Ma, who trailed behind them as the last person, smacked his head and asked, “That girl, I mean spirit, seemed like a student . Do you think she could be Xiaohui’s cousin?”

Ye Shaoyang had thought of that too, right as she was pulled away .

Xiao Ma continued, “Too bad we didn’t get a good look at her face . Otherwise, we could have described it to Xiaohui . ”

Ye Shaoyang did not feel any regret though . Since this was the last formation, everything would be here, Maybe I’ll find all the answers here soon .

As he thought of this, he became more excited and walked faster .

After a few minutes, the three of them walked out from the sakura garden . A small and flat field laid between them and a hill . Right in the middle of the field stood a big and tall tomb that was surrounded by cement walls . At the front of the tomb was a large slab of marble that had its owner’s name . It was someone called Ma Duyuan .

“This is probably one of the Ma Family members . However, I don’t know which one this guy is,” Old Guo said as he walked around the tomb . Suddenly, Old Guo let out a hmmm and said, “Little junior brother, come and see this!”

Ye Shaoyang quickly walked around and saw a well behind the tomb . The well had an octagonal opening, and water filled it to the brim .

“The water is really clear,” Xiao Ma approached the water and reached out to touch it .

Ye Shaoyang immediately pulled him away and gave him a look, “Are you trying to die? That’s Madam Chee down there!”

“What!?” Xiao Ma and Old Guo were both shocked . They took a few steps back and looked at Ye Shaoyang .

Ye Shaoyang did not care about their reactions . He walked toward the well and looked into it . The well seemed to be two to three meters deep . At the bottom, there seemed to be a space, but something blocking his view… there’s a… tree underneath?

Ye Shaoyang used his Gang Qi to probe around the well . He only detected a hint of Yin Qi, and he did not find any spirit Qi or demon Qi, but… why is there a hint of undead Qi?

Ye Shaoyang turned around and examined the tomb . After a while, he said, “There’s something wrong with the corpse underneath . ”

Xiao Ma immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Shaoyang was still thinking about the problem, so he replied without thinking, “I can’t explain it, so we’ll have to dig it up and see . ”

When Ye Shaoyang looked up, he saw that Xiao Ma was on the tomb . He had a shovel in his hands, and he was ready to start digging . Immediately, Ye Shaoyang and Old Guo went over and stopped him .

“Damn it, are you out of your mind!” Ye Shaoyang yelled .

Xiao Ma looked at him blankly and asked, “What? Didn’t you want me to dig it up?”

“Yeah, but I didn’t mean it . You dare to dig up a Ma Family ancestral tomb?”

“I… . ” Xiao Ma realized what he almost did and muttered, “Didn’t you say the corpse has problems? What if it became an undead? We’ll be doing them a favor if we destroy it, right?”

Ye Shaoyang said, “What favor?! How would you explain it to them? Tell them we came to dig up their ancestral grave, discovered that their ancestor became an undead, and destroyed it? You think they won’t kill all of us?”

Old Guo also came to criticize Xiao Ma .

Xiao Ma scratched his head and said, “Well, if we can’t dig it up, how do we check out the corpse?”

“There are other ways . ”

After saying that, Ye Shaoyang took out a blank talisman paper and wrote some characters on it with cinnabar ink . He made an Assessment Talisman Paper, plucked the tallest grass on the tomb, and wrapped it in the talisman paper . He brought the talisman paper close and chanted . Then he blew on it and the grass visibly withered and turned into ash .

Ye Shaoyang stuck his finger on some of the ash and tasted it . Xiao Ma, who was beside him, saw this action and asked, “What’s the taste?”

Ye Shaoyang looked at Old Guo and said, “Fleshy Undead . ”

“Fleshy?” Xiao Ma was stunned, “You can taste meat from that?”

Ye Shaoyang gave him a stern look and said, “Can you stop joking around! I’m being serious here!”

Xiao Ma rolled his eyes and kept quiet .

Old Guo became concerned when he heard the name ‘Fleshy Undead’ . Then he said, “I guess the formation in the garden supplies energy to this well?”

Ye Shaoyang nodded .

After some thinking, he walked closer to the small hill . He examined it a bit and found a path that leads to a standing area . Then he rolled up his sleeve and began to climb up .
