Ling Tian received feedback from Zhang Caifeng and prepared to act. He bent down, picked up a stone, channeled his internal energy into it, and hurled it away.
The stone, imbued with internal energy, struck a piece of Xuan Yin stone on the ground of the ruined earth temple.
Attached to this Xuan Yin stone was the sealing talisman Ling Tian had placed the previous day.
A sealing talisman was like a lock on a door; once locked from the outside, it was difficult to open from within.
However, if attacked from the outside, it was quite fragile, easily dealt with by a single blow.
When the stone hit the sealing talisman, it shattered into pieces, the impact tearing through the paper.
Instantly, the energy of the sealing talisman became unsustainable and chaotic!
After a faint spark, the sealing talisman spontaneously combusted!
The next moment, a dense, terrifying black mist surged skyward. Even from dozens of meters away, Ling Tian could feel it; this was the Yin Sha energy accumulated over many years!
This dense and terrifying Yin Qi quickly activated the Dragon Trapping Formation Ling Tian had set up in advance.
The jade pendants lit up one by one, forming an invisible energy wall that firmly contained the black mist.
No matter how the black mist struggled, it could not breach this seal.
A few seconds later, the black mist coalesced, forming a human-like shape, as solid as if it were corporeal!
Ling Tian recognized it immediately as the Feng Shui master Luo Shentong. Ling Tian had already obtained his photo from the Zhuo family; this was the very person he was looking for!
Luo Shentong desperately struggled to break free from the Dragon Trapping Formation, but it was in vain.
It gradually calmed down, its pair of eerie eyes fixing on Ling Tian, who was dozens of meters away.
"Kid, are you causing trouble?"
"What if I am? I say, Luo Shentong, you need to adjust your mindset. You're a ghost now!"
"How do you know my name?"
"Heh, if you don't want anyone to know, don't do it!
Did you really think you could tamper with the Zhuo family's grand Feng Shui mansion without anyone noticing?"
Luo Shentong was currently a vengeful spirit, and his memory was somewhat affected. Ling Tian's words made him ponder for a long time before he recalled.
"It's a pity the Zhuo family hasn't all died out!"
His words were devoid of emotion. In Luo Shentong's view, the lives of the Zhuo family were merely cauldrons for his cultivation!
Luo Shentong sighed, then turned his gaze back to Ling Tian.
"Your body is very healthy, filled with true essence. It's a perfect vessel.
I never expected such a wonderful body to be delivered to my doorstep. I can only accept it with pleasure!
Heh heh!"
Luo Shentong's vengeful spirit let out a chilling laugh. Zhang Caifeng, watching from dozens of meters away, trembled.
She had never encountered such a powerful vengeful spirit!
"Ling Tian, let's retreat first. This thing is incredibly powerful, beyond our current ability to handle!
I will contact my sect immediately and have experts from Mount Longhu come deal with it!" Zhang Caifeng shouted.
"Heh heh, this little girl isn't bad either. A prime cauldron. You won't be leaving either. Stay and become an aid to my cultivation!"
Facing the arrogant and overbearing Luo Shentong, Ling Tian showed no fear.
"I say, Luo Shentong, aren't you too conceited and inflated?
How can you be so sure you've got us cornered?"
"Heh heh, little brat, how old are you? Even if you started cultivating from the womb, how many years of practice do you have!
Truly a fearless newborn calf!"
Ling Tian shook his head helplessly.
"Speaking of blind confidence, that's a phrase I should give back to you. How do you know we can't handle you?
If you don't believe me, look up at the sky!"
Luo Shentong's vengeful spirit looked up. He had been entirely focused on escaping the Dragon Trapping Formation. Only now did he notice the abnormal changes in the spiritual energy of the surrounding environment.
At this moment, a purple talisman appeared in Ling Tian's hand.
Ling Tian injected his true essence into the talisman, and instantly, the patterns on it lit up. Ling Tian raised his hand:
"Heavenly Thunder, Ten Thousand Zhangs, Descend!"
As Ling Tian shouted, the Heavenly Thunder Talisman was activated and floated directly above Luo Shentong.
By now, Luo Shentong sensed that something was terribly wrong. The talisman floating several meters above its head seemed to be emitting a power that was constantly tearing at the surrounding space.
Even more terrifying was the thick thundercloud overhead, as if something within it was being drawn out by the talisman, ready to burst forth at any moment.
After more than ten seconds, the thundercloud above began to flash with streaks of lightning. These lightning bolts intertwined, releasing terrifying energy.
This was precisely the kind of power that spirits like vengeful spirits feared most.
"No, don't, you can't, you can't treat me like this!"
Luo Shentong cried out, its Yin Sha energy surging outwards desperately, attempting to break through the Dragon Trapping Formation.
Unfortunately, all its efforts were in vain. The formation of the Dragon Trapping Formation continuously flickered with light, resisting the Yin Sha energy emanating from it.
"Please, please, spare me. If you spare me, I will give you many treasures, immense wealth, and countless rare herbs, enough to make you the richest person in the world, enough to make you the most powerful person..."
Luo Shentong's voice was now tinged with tears as it began to beg Ling Tian.
Although it looked pitiful, Ling Tian knew very well that this fellow was not sincere at all!
Luo Shentong was in grave danger now and would promise anything to escape. But once free, this creature might enact a terrifying revenge.
"Heh heh, it's too late, Luo Shentong. You've done too much evil. Now, accept the heavenly retribution!"
After speaking, Ling Tian turned and ran, as he could already feel the accumulating thunderous power in the sky.
Zhang Caifeng, dozens of meters away, was stunned. She had heard her elders talk about Heavenly Thunder Talismans.
Back then, the seniors from Mount Longhu had spoken of drawing heavenly lightning to attack in a way that sounded almost mythical.
Zhang Caifeng had always thought her elders were exaggerating.
But now, witnessing the heavenly lightning descend with her own eyes, Zhang Caifeng was completely convinced.
Just then, Ling Tian zipped past her like the wind, reaching out and grabbing her wrist.
"What are you still looking at? Run!"
"Ah..."
Zhang Caifeng was pulled along by Ling Tian, almost stumbling.
