rtals may appear like a loose collection of individuals, but they can be tightly bound together by hatred and self-interest."I purse my lips, not quite agreeing with his statement: “It's not just abou...What can I do

Dad carefully rolled up the talisman papers and put them in his cigarette case. I guess they were for emergencies

I decided to give it a try, since I didn't have anything else handy.

The Talisman Method is one of the three practices in Taoist methods. The "curse" refers to the secret language from heaven, and all true spirits will respond accordingly to the incantation.

Dad, what kind of immortals are these little pink cards meant to attract

I invoked a fire of the five elements, and the edges of the pink paper began to flicker. Then suddenly, a huge ball of fire erupted, startling me into dropping it—what kind of incantation flares up like this Did it just spontaneously combust

The little monk hid behind me and wailed, "Big sister, can you do it Why does it look so clumsy"

This is none of my business! It's just that this talisman is too weird!

As the burning paper turned to ash, and the last spark died out, a subtle stir ran through the entire banquet hall.

There were faint tremors all around.

It seems like there's a thunderstorm outside, and the entire hotel is rattling with the sound of thunder.

Soon, a slight tremor ran through the floor beneath my feet, and the ripples in the red wine glasses on the table grew larger...

I swallowed nervously.

This...is an earthquake

The little monk was so scared that he cried, and the monster with a head like a worm also stopped bleeding. It looked around in fright, perhaps sensing danger—

In the darkness, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from above the banquet hall. I shoved the young monk under the table and just as I crouched down, I saw eight steeds charging in, breaking through the air like dragons!

With a roar like thunder, and the wind roaring like flames, they came.

But no one was driving!!!

Eight horses charged forward, trampling the man's head into a paste, burning him to ashes. The noise gradually subsided, and they stopped before me.

Was this summoned with pink parchment

This carriage is exquisite and magnificent, the celestial horse noble and spirited. Could this be a pink Porsche summoned from the heavens

What can I do This thing doesn't seem to be useful at all...

"Oh my~ Little Empress, you finally broke through the barrier... we couldn't wait any longer..." Bai Wuchang's voice sounded leisurely.

He descended from mid-air, dragging his wide sleeves behind him, and asked me, "Where is your lotus"

"It's here," I blurted, hastily opening my palm to reveal it clutched tightly in my hand.

"Hee hee... I'm going to use this artifact to dispel the ambiguity. It will consume your accumulated cultivation, is that okay" Bai Wu Chang asked with a smile.

Of course, one can accumulate virtues and blessings later. It's best to first put things back on track here.

White No. Chang's slender fingers opened and grasped the small lotus flower, one hand reciting incantations as he pinched a formula. In the blink of an eye, a burst of white light erupted from within the lotus.

As slowly as the sun ascends to the heavens, a silver light shines bright as day, dispelling the darkness of the entire venue and revealing several grayish portals.

"...Seven Masters, what is the purpose of this technique" I asked with concern.

Bai WuChang shook his head and said, “Perhaps it leads to another world, or perhaps it’s a place opened up by the Emperor… We can’t fight here, otherwise what would become of these mortals”

Where does Jiang Qiyun open up Isn't that the Pure Land of Bliss and Mount Nan

But Pure Land of Bliss is inaccessible to ordinary people. They must have gone all the way to Mount Nan!

The air around suddenly rippled, and from a hazy portal, a mass of writhing "human-headed earthworms" surged forth.

A writhing mass of monsters looked incredibly disgusting, but Bai Wu Chang grinned and said, "Well, this path definitely won't work!"

Hei Wu Chang, exasperated, said, "Need I remind you! Eradicate these things at once!"

But Bai Wu Chang was always a lazybones. He nonchalantly muttered an incantation, summoning the Netherworld officials, and while floating beside the carriage, he said to me, "Little Empress, shall we go see His Majesty"

"But what about all these people" I gestured to the over six hundred people in the hall.

"Hmm... should be fine, taking down the culprit should break the spell." Bai Wu Chang floated onto the carriage and motioned for me to get in.

The underworld denizens surged through the broken barrier of the carriage, Niu Tou Shuai wielding his great axe, hacking at those heads like cutting grass. It was a task that suited Niu Tou Shuai's interests perfectly.

But to see it hacked and blood splattering everywhere was just…too sickening.

The little monk held onto me tightly, refusing to let go. He was able to be taken on as a disciple by Master Huisqing, so he must have been exceptionally gifted. Now, seeing so many ghosts and spirits floating in, his legs were trembling with fear.

"Big sister, don't leave me behind, I'm going with you..." he pleaded, clutching my clothes.

"Don't you think I'm clumsy" I asked.

"No no no, I know who you are! My master told me that Kun Dao surnamed Mu must not be offended, you must be the Kun Dao who can't be offended!" The little monk tried his best to flatter.

Bai Wu Chang let out a "poof" of muffled laughter, and I helplessly looked at the young monk. Was your master praising me or insulting me

I got into the carriage, and the young monk followed close behind. A distant, aged voice called after us: “Lady, please wait!”

I turned around and saw that it was a God of Fortune and Virtue – the 土地公公 (Land God) at the corner of my street!

He rushed over with two little demons carrying my brother's backpack and my satchel.

"My Lady, this greedy wolf brother from your esteemed household has packed these two backpacks. This old man will send them over immediately, hoping they will be useful to you—"

"Yes! Yes! This is so useful!" I shoved the fire extinguisher into the little monk's hands, strapped on my own backpack, and hefted up my brother's pack, full of contraband.

"Come on, Seven Lords, let's go!" I urged.

"Well, well, so brave of the Little Madam, aren't we" Bai Wu Chang raised an eyebrow.

One must be brave! Nanshan is our own house, we can't just leave it unattended. What if something gets broken! The new house has just been renovated and hasn't even been moved into yet…

Bai Wu Chang reined in his horse, eight immortal steeds whinnied and charged into a gray, misty portal with the speed of wind and thunder.

My God! What a speed!

"Seventh Grandfather! Can you slow down a bit" I was being blown so hard I couldn't open my eyes.

Qī Yé's wide sleeves danced like flowing clouds, and he said with a wicked grin: "Little Lady, this is the immortal lord's mount. It's normal for it to travel through the air on lightning, hold tight, hee hee..."

To my astonishment, I couldn't help but wonder: since Mom passed away, Dad had become nothing more than a lazy scoundrel. How could he possibly carry such a strange talisman with him

And he definitely hasn't used it, this talisman is beyond the capability of an ordinary person to forge.

My brother's Five Elements Fire Art was personally taught to him by Jiang Qiyun. Otherwise, how could ordinary people master the true fire of the Five Elements

Before I could overthink it, the carriage had already burst through the other end of the gate.

I saw familiar scenery, a majestic and exquisite palace complex, surrounded by towering peaks.

But—

Everything is under my feet!!!

A tremendous surge of air slammed into them, sending birds scattering in all directions and overturning carriages instantly —ce, flames quickly spreading to the dragon king's feet."There are few talismans left, this one is for you to bid farewell with..." Mu Wanchen said softly.The Dragon King, with a sneer, chuckled softly...
