24: Chapter 24 The Net

"Of course, the Soul Control Technique has another use, which is to extract the Origin of the seven souls. For a Ghost, the Origin of the seven souls is a treasure that can increase their strength."

"And the external manifestation of the loss of the Origin of the seven souls is accelerated aging."

"Accelerated aging!" Lu Siye suddenly recalled the faces of the seven deceased victims that didn't match their ages; so that was the reason.

Wang Wenjing unfolded the fan in her hand, revealing a fan face full of Talismans. She stretched out her slender fingers, traced across the many Talismans, and then pulled out two.

"This is?" Lu Siye was seeing someone use Daoist Magic for the first time, so he couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

"These are the Soul-Calming Talisman and the Cleansing Talisman!" Wang Wenjing explained.

She formed seals with her hands, pointed continuously in the Void Realm, then suspended the two Talismans in the air, chanting words.

"Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable, comfort the body and form, Disciple's soul, five viscera mysterious darkness, Azure Dragon White Tiger, the team formation is varied, Vermilion Bird Black Tortoise, guard the body and form."

This was the Cleansing Mantra, one of the eight great divine mantras of Daoism.

When the last syllable was uttered, the Cleansing Talisman turned into a golden light and merged into Chen Feiguang's body.

Lu Siye hurriedly condensed Yang Qi onto his eyes, only to see those thin black lines slowly dissipating under the effect of the golden light.

It looked like the Soul Control Technique had been broken!

But Wang Wenjing did not stop; she formed seals again and chanted the Heart-Calming Mantra.

"Supreme Platform Star, responding to changes without stopping, driving away evil and binding charms, protecting life and guarding the body, wisdom bright and pure, heart and spirit peaceful, three souls permanent, seven souls without loss or inclination."

After chanting the Heart-Calming Mantra, one of the eight great divine mantras of Daoism, Wang Wenjing placed the Soul-Calming Talisman on top of Chen Feiguang's head.

When the Talisman touched his hair, it ignited without fire, turning into dots of golden light that merged into Chen Feiguang's body.

Chen Feiguang slowly closed his eyes. Wang Wenjing helped him lie down on the sofa. He didn't have the air conditioning on in his home, and since it was the hot summer, there was no need to worry about him catching a cold on the sofa.

"Just as I expected, this matter is indeed related to an Evil Path organization within the Nine Provinces. I didn't expect that after so many years, it has come back from the dead."

After settling Chen Feiguang's heart and spirit, Wang Wenjing came to Lu Siye's side and said with a solemn face.

"What organization?" Lu Siye was confused.

"The Net! The only surviving Evil Path organization within the Nine Provinces." Wang Wenjing said word by word.

"Is The Net very strong?" Lu Siye couldn't help asking. He had never heard the name The Net before.

"In the five thousand years of the Nine Provinces, there have been countless Evil Path organizations. Only hundreds have left records in the Evil Suppression Bureau, but most of these Evil Path organizations were destroyed by the Evil Suppression Bureau in historical conflicts. To this day, only The Net still exists after more than a dozen encirclement and suppression campaigns. Do you think it is strong or not?"

"Hiss~" Lu Siye gasped, contributing a bit to global warming.

Is The Net strong?

Regarding this, Lu Siye had no concept.

But if you ask if the Evil Suppression Bureau is strong?

Then, Lu Siye had a concept in his mind.

There are a total of 34 provinces in the Nine Provinces, and adding up all the cities, there are over six hundred. Every city has a branch of the Evil Suppression Bureau stationed there.

And every Evil Suppression Bureau branch has at least five practitioners at the Night Wanderer Realm, who are the captains of the Five Elements Team.

Moreover, according to Lu Siye's understanding on the exorcism app, the Chief and Deputy Chief of the Evil Suppression Bureau in every city must be experts at or above the half-step Day Tour Envoy to hold the position.

The headquarters of the Evil Suppression Bureau in each provincial capital even has a Great Grandmaster stationed there, corresponding to Fierce Soul level Ghosts.

And the fact that The Net has survived more than a dozen encirclement and suppression campaigns under the siege of this massive force of the Evil Suppression Bureau is enough to prove its strength.

"If that's the case, then this matter is not something we can handle; we must report it to the Evil Suppression Bureau immediately." Lu Siye said after weighing his own weak strength.

If it was just facing certain risks to clean up Ghosts, Lu Siye wouldn't even blink.

After all, for matters like Heaven-Defying life changes, even if you succeed, you feel a bit uneasy if you don't go through difficulties.

However, if you want him to face a situation that is clearly certain death and go to die, he won't do it.

"Don't worry, the timing hasn't come yet. At this time, The Net will absolutely not dispatch experts above the level of a Fierce Ghost." Wang Wenjing raised her small hand and patted Lu Siye's shoulder, her tone very firm.

"Timing? What timing?" Lu Siye looked at the girl beside him; she seemed to know many unknown secrets.

"As for that! It's a secret for now. When it can be announced, the Evil Suppression Bureau will notify us." The girl put her hands behind her back and turned around, sitting on a chair.

"Besides, I see that the Yang Qi in Brother Lu's body is already circulating regularly. He should be able to ignite the three souls' Yang Fire soon and step into the Night Patrol Envoy Realm. We don't have to be afraid of them at all." Wang Wenjing comforted Lu Siye.

"I'll trust you once!"

Lu Siye took a deep look at Wang Wenjing. After thinking for a long time, he chose to trust the other party.

"Hee hee!" Upon gaining Lu Siye's trust, a smile immediately bloomed on Wang Wenjing's face.

"By the way, you just broke the Soul Control Technique. Will the mastermind behind it perceive it?" Lu Siye suddenly remembered this question.

"No, I can dispel this Soul Control Technique, which means the mastermind behind it is also at the Night Patrol Envoy Realm. Within the same Realm, it is impossible for it to discover this matter." Wang Wenjing patted her small chest confidently.

For the entire night that followed, the two of them guarded Chen Feiguang to prevent accidents.

Successfully passing a peaceful night, Lu Siye and Wang Wenjing left 703 after the relieving Public Security Officers arrived.

Ghosts below the Blood Garment level cannot appear during the day, so Lu Siye was relieved to leave Chen Feiguang to the protection of the Public Security Officers during the day.

After leaving the residential area, the two bought some steamed buns and soy milk on the street to solve breakfast simply.

Then they exchanged contact information, and Lu Siye returned to the Tongjiang Residential Area.

After returning to the residential area, Lu Siye, who had not slept all night, did not choose to make up for sleep, but began to Cultivate the "Dragon-Elephant Prajna Art".

The goal of this cultivation was not to increase his power, but to increase his control over his own Yang Qi.

After hearing the news revealed by Wang Wenjing, Lu Siye felt a greater sense of urgency.

He needed to successfully step into the Night Patrol Envoy Realm before the timing mentioned by Wang Wenjing arrived.

Time passed in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was night again.

After dark, Lu Siye and Wang Wenjing appeared at the Jucai Residential Area on time to continue guarding Chen Feiguang.

It was another peaceful night.

Two consecutive days of peace did not make them and the Public Security Bureau relax their vigilance.

Because according to the data of the previous seven incidents, Chen Feiguang would only have an accident on the seventh day.

On the evening of the seventh day, Lu Siye and Wang Wenjing arrived at the seventh floor early.

However, this time, to prevent the Ghost from choosing to retreat after discovering them, the two did not stay by Chen Feiguang's side in a swaggering manner.

Instead, they each chose a secret place to hide.
