ized this opportunity, bowing before the palace master and formally beginning her martial arts training. Over two years, her progress in the Xu Nü Xuan Gong was modest, with eighty percent of the sca...The helicopter circled the mountain where the cemetery was twice before the ripples allowed it to land.

As soon as I stepped off the plane, a silver-haired old man came up to me. When he saw ripples, he was stunned for a moment before politely saying:

"May I ask if you are a Celestial Master from Longhushan"

"Yes, I am Wu Lianyi from Long Hu Shan. I took this mission."

Ripple smiled faintly and said to the old man.

The man who came with the ripples immediately introduced himself:

"This is Professor Ma, the leader of the archaeological team. This excavation of the tomb complex was led by him."

"Hello, Professor Ma."

The ripple emoji greeted with a calm expression.

Professor Ma thought the Heavenly Master from Long Tiger Mountain was too young and female, but with the current emergency, he couldn't afford to be picky. He went straight to the point:

"Master Wu, I know you've just arrived, but my people have been missing for two days now. I'm afraid if we don't go find them soon, they'll be in danger."

Professor Ma, please don't rush. I have already examined the movement and terrain of the cemetery. The situation is more complex than I thought. We need to make some preparations beforehand, otherwise, not only will we be unable to save your team members, but their situation will also worsen.

The ripples said slowly.

Perhaps her confident attitude made Professor Ma slightly restrain his anxious emotions, but he still unconsciously said:

"Master Wu, what preparations are needed You can arrange them now."

"Okay."

The ripples turned his head to face the man beside him and said:

"Please send over a crew of woodcutters. Have them fell the trees in the areas I've marked. I need to set up an array."

Wu Siming couldn't quite keep up with Lianyi's rhythm. How did she suddenly bring up chopping down trees

"First, gather people and tools. Once they arrive, I'll tell you the specifics of what to do."

The ripples continued to speak.

"Oh! Good!"

Then, Wu Siming walked aside and took out his phone to start making a call.

Professor Ma, please take me to see the other teammates first.

Ripples turned to Professor Ma's urgent gaze.

"Okay, follow me!"

Professor Ma personally led Ripples to the temporary camp at the foot of the mountain.

There weren't many people moving around the camp. It seemed that the archaeological team had suffered heavy losses this time, so only Professor Ma could come to greet her personally.

"Master Wu, three of my team members have gone missing. The remaining ones are unable to carry out archaeological work properly now. They're shaken but mostly okay mentally, though a few seem depressed and some have even fallen into a state of dementia. Doctors can't figure out the cause."

Professor Ma also had a look of dejection on his face. He had never encountered such a fierce tomb before.

A golden light flashed in her eyes at this moment. In her vision, the entire camp was filled with ghostly figures. These spirits snarled and waved their claws at the people passing by, occasionally piercing through their bodies. Each time they passed through, a trace of vital energy would be taken away.

If people are bothered by these restless spirits for a long time, they will get sick, feel unwell, and become weak. If their health deteriorates to a certain extent, they will truly see ghosts.

All the active people in the entire camp were vigorous young men and women, while Professor Ma remained unharmed by ghosts at such an advanced age because he possessed a faint golden aura around him. This was a protective glow bestowed upon him by the state after he made significant contributions to the country and received national recognition.

The ripples' arrival, of course, alarmed the ghosts. They had just been frolicking about their camp, and the next moment a hell-ghost let out a shriek. All the ghosts instantly dove into the deep forest at lightning speed, vanishing without a trace. The camp was suddenly clean and quiet.

"Humph! You sure can run!"

Liàn yī coldly snorted.

"Master Wu, what's wrong Who ran away!"

Professor Ma was still describing the incident his archaeological team had been through, when Lian Yi's words interrupted him. He questioned her back in puzzlement.

The ripples turned to Professor Ma and said:

“This tomb you unearthed this time belongs to a grand evil. In the eyes of our Taoist masters, it’s an excellent place for raising ghosts. In other words, your excavation disturbed these spirits and opened a gap in this place for raising ghosts, so these spirits followed people out of the tomb.”

After explaining the ripples, he directly waved his hand from space to take out the jade talismans he had prepared in advance. He raised his hand and shot the largest one into the ground. Then, under Professor Ma's astonished gaze, he walked around the camp, shooting eight slightly smaller jade talismans into different places.

After doing all of this, the ripples returned to where the first jade talisman was placed and uttered a single "start" character. An invisible light shield rose above the entire camp, enveloping it entirely and preventing any wandering souls or malevolent spirits from entering.

Then the ripples' ears twitched. She followed the sound to a tent.

Professor Ma looked around. He knew the female Taoist priestess had just done something, though he couldn't see it. Then he saw where she was going - the place where the injured team members were. He immediately followed her.

Ripples opened the tent and walked in. She saw four people huddled on the beds, and when they saw Ripples, they all moved closer to the foot of the bed.

The ripples heard were from a transparent spirit, desperately trying to enter the body of a girl lying in bed with a vacant expression. But each time it was futile, she was always repelled.

A ripple shot out a thread of spiritual energy, pulling the wispy, almost translucent soul closer. Then, it tapped the top of the other's head and shared their vision. The viewer saw how the girl had been frightened and how a soul had been pulled out from within her by an ominous spirit.

"It's good that you didn't run off, otherwise I would have had to spend time looking for you."

Immediately, ripples raised her hand and enveloped the soul with a layer of golden light. She sent the other party from the dazed girl's crown chakra into her until the soul merged completely with the girl's other three souls and seven spirits, then she withdrew her spiritual energy.

The girl's eyes also shifted from dazed and confused to bright, then she hugged her head and screamed. She immediately heard Professor Ma's voice, jumped out of bed barefoot, rushed to Professor Ma's face, grabbed his hand, and stammered:

"Professor Ma, please! Save them! My senior brothers, something happened to them! How am I here Wasn't I just in the tomb"

"Jia Jia, you've been out of the grave for three days now. These past three days, you've just been staring into space, like your soul is lost."

Professor Ma, although being dragged by the other party, still answered their questions.

"My elder brother and his friends"

They disappeared. After I reported it to the police, they dispatched soldiers to search for Pang Liang and the others, but those soldiers also went missing. We didn't dare to send anyone else down, so we invited a Taoist priest from Longhushan Mountain to help.

Professor Ma knew his students were worried about their classmate's safety, so he patiently explained and introduced Lian to them.

He is now certain that this young Wu Tian師 has real ability. Just now, he saw that the other person just waved his hand, and Feng JiaJia was back to normal. He was a little excited too.

"Master Wu, can the remaining three children recover like Feng Jiashu"
