"Bang."
The red palanquin flew directly towards them.
Zhao Yan took out a talisman and immediately threw it.
The talisman burst into a golden light, and the flying palanquin instantly stopped, floating motionlessly in mid-air.
Zhao Yan said, "If you want to marry the bride, how can it be without the groom? With no sincerity like this, how can others dare to board the palanquin?"
"Go back and tell your master, if you want to pick her up, at least show your face!"
"Scram!"
Zhao Yan held the broken talisman, and behind the broken piece was the word "scram."
The flying palanquin immediately retreated into the thick fog.
"You little Onmyoji, you dare to interfere in my business. Fine, I'll see what great abilities you have."
A cold shout came from above.
"Who are you trying to scare? If you have the guts, come out and meet me. Hiding and not showing yourself is no skill," Zhao Yan shouted.
There was no response from the other side, leaving Master Wang and the others staring at each other.
"Sister Zhao, why is this guy afraid to show himself?" Wu Jiaxin asked.
Having followed Zhao Yan for a long time, she was no longer afraid of these things.
Zhao Yan replied, "His skill is probably not enough. If his skill were sufficient, he would have made a move when we were at the foot of the mountain. Why would he hide in the mountains and not show himself?"
"Creating these things is nothing more than trying to scare people."
"Master Wang, bring the black dog over," Zhao Yan said softly.
She looked back and was stunned. Master Wang was gone, but the dog was still lying in place.
"Where is Master Wang?" Zhao Yan asked.
Hearing Zhao Yan's question, Wu Jiaxin looked around. "Hey! Where's Master Wang? He was just here."
The two disciples behind them immediately slapped their foreheads. "Master Zhao, I saw my master's expression was very strange just now. He was staring intently at the beauty next to the flower palanquin."
"That beauty seemed to smile at my master, and then my master disappeared."
"Beauty, what beauty?" Zhao Yan asked sternly.
When the flower palanquin flew over earlier, she had only seen four paper figures.
"Aren't the four people carrying the flower palanquin beautiful women?"
Wu Jiaxin said, "No, when I saw them, the people carrying the flower palanquin were clearly four handsome men."
Hearing their words, Zhao Yan thought, "This is bad."
With her own abilities, she could tell that the people carrying the flower palanquin were paper figures, but from Wu Jiaxin's perspective as an ordinary person, the scene was very different.
"Let's find your master first. He shouldn't have gone far. Do you have anything your master used?" Zhao Yan thought helplessly, "At this time, what is Master Wang thinking about?"
"Yes, this is a handkerchief my master used."
Zhao Yan took it and placed it under the black dog's nose, letting the dog sniff it intently.
Fortunately, with the black dog around, finding Master Wang was not difficult.
"Stay close to me and don't get lost. Also, remember, if you see any beautiful women or handsome men, immediately close your eyes and tell me promptly," Zhao Yan reminded them.
They all nodded at Zhao Yan's words.
"Let's go," Zhao Yan patted the black dog's back.
The black dog immediately ran forward, and Zhao Yan followed closely, pulling the leash.
As they walked further, the fog ahead became thicker and thicker.
To prevent anyone behind from getting lost again, Zhao Yan took out the demon-binding rope and had them all hold onto it as she led the way.
The black dog suddenly stopped. Zhao Yan shone a flashlight forward.
Ahead was a dilapidated temple.
"Sister Zhao, I see Master Wang. He's doing something up and down," Wu Jiaxin shone her flashlight ahead.
Master Wang was seen with his backside raised.
Zhao Yan turned back in surprise and asked the two disciples behind her, "Are you sure your master isn't...?"
Zhao Yan walked forward and was suddenly startled.
She saw Master Wang in front of the temple, tightly intertwined with a skeleton.
The scene was truly eye-watering.
The skeleton's eye sockets emitted a strange red light.
Master Wang's eyes were tightly closed, and his lips revealed an expression of excitement.
Zhao Yan raised a talisman and immediately threw it, shouting, "Exorcise!"
As soon as she uttered the word, the yang energy bursting from the talisman quickly shone onto the skeleton.
Touched by the yang energy from the talisman, the skeleton immediately turned its head towards Zhao Yan. It curled its bones and, with a tragic cry, became motionless.
"Slap!" Zhao Yan slapped the back of Master Wang's head.
"Wake up!" Zhao Yan exclaimed.
With this cold shout, Master Wang quickly opened his eyes, and upon opening them, he looked somewhat incredulous.
"Where... where is this!" Master Wang asked in surprise.
The two disciples beside him lowered their heads in shame, feeling embarrassed to have such a master.
"Master Wang, was that comfortable just now?" Zhao Yan said coldly.
If one didn't know better, they would think she was accompanying him for a private affair.
Master Wang thought carefully, and a hint of panic appeared on his face. "I heard someone call me just now, and when I turned to look, I saw a beautiful woman waving at me."
"My legs suddenly became uncontrollable, and I followed her."
"Is that so? Look at your feet," Zhao Yan said.
Master Wang looked down at his feet and was completely startled when he saw the white skeleton beneath him. "Holy crap!"
He then retreated several steps, constantly touching himself. "Fortunately, nothing is missing from my body."
"Master Wang, Master Wang, your Dao heart is too unstable. This little ghost summoned a soul, and you were immediately drawn over. It's fortunate we arrived in time. If we were any later, your soul would have been taken by the little ghost."
Zhao Yan sighed helplessly.
As she spoke, Zhao Yan suddenly noticed a dark mass of energy on Master Wang's forehead.
Seeing this energy, her face showed a hint of surprise.
"Master Wang, don't move for now," Zhao Yan said.
Master Wang stood perfectly still.
Zhao Yan took out a talisman, wrapped it around his lips, and then rubbed them vigorously with the talisman.
"That white bone ghost actually had the demonic energy of that snake demon. Now that this demonic energy is collected, it won't be difficult to find that snake demon." Zhao Yan said.
As Zhao Yan spoke, she placed the talisman that had wiped Master Wang's lips in front of her. After chanting a few words, the talisman immediately burned, forming a ball of demonic fire.
"Go," Zhao Yan commanded.
The burning ball of demonic fire immediately flew forward.
"Let's go, let's follow closely," Zhao Yan said.
Halfway there, she looked back and saw Master Wang carefully collecting the white bones.
She asked curiously, "Master Wang, what are you doing?"
