Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 267: Capturing Madir

Zhuyun and the other seven Taoist priests walked quickly counterclockwise according to the direction of the Big Dipper. When Zhuyun reached the position of Yaoguang, a huge Tai Chi diagram suddenly appeared on the ground. The Taoist priests who set up the formation bit their fingers, squeezed out their fingertips and blood, and waited for it to gather into a blood bead. They flicked the blood bead into the air together, and the blood beads moved closer to each other, suspended in the air and arranged into a miniature Big Dipper.

Afterwards, the Big Dipper emitted light, and the sky suddenly changed. It was as if a layer of clouds was cut open, and dots of starlight appeared in the originally dark corner.

Seven silver lights fell from the sky, pouring on the nine monsters like a waterfall. The scene suddenly became as bright as day, and the monsters seemed to be fixed in place. Their bodies seemed to be corroded by strong acid, gradually melting, and making a sizzling sound of electricity.

"Roar--"

"Ahhh-"

Countless and bizarre screams came from all parts of the monsters' bodies, making people's scalps tingle and their hair stand on end. However, under the influence of the power of the stars, their voices gradually weakened and were not so intimidating.

"This... actually triggered the real power of the star officials, how is it possible?" Madir looked at the scene in shock, his eyes full of disbelief.

Although he was shocked, he came to his senses and realized that he was doomed, so he quickly pulled his two men in front of him. "You two stand in front of me."

Although these two were his subordinates, they were not loyal to him willingly. Instead, they were bewitched by him and trained to be puppets. As soon as he gave the order, the two immediately obeyed and stood in front of him. The next moment, Madir pulled out a dagger from his waist and pierced the hearts of the two men.

The two men were stabbed and fell to the ground immediately, their eyes wide open as if they were dying with their eyes open. The moment they fell to the ground, a small bloody hole appeared where their hearts were stabbed, and the small hole continued to expand and expand, and in a few blinks of an eye it expanded into a large hole that almost penetrated their bodies.

Thousands of green smoke rushed out of the two large holes. They were first a wisp of smoke, then twisted and changed in the air, and then slowly formed a human face. The two people whose hearts were pierced were said to be puppets, but in fact they were more like a container. Madir found thirty-six resentful ghosts who died suddenly, and stole one hundred and eight wronged souls who died on the battlefield a hundred years ago, merged them together, and refined them into the most evil and sinister resentful spirits.

"Oh no! He is summoning evil soldiers!" an unknown Taoist priest shouted angrily.

These ghost soldiers that came out from behind were different from the evil spirits in front. They did not attack the Taoist priests immediately, but rushed in other directions. It seemed that their goals were very clear.

"Protect the dragon vein!" Some Taoist priest shouted angrily.

The seven Taoist priests who set up the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation quickly made hand gestures, and the ink lines used for setting up the formation kept tightening. The copper bells hanging on them then made clear sounds like the roar of a dragon, and waves of sound waves, one after another, hit the ghost soldiers. The other Taoist priests threw the copper coin swords they carried at the ghost soldiers. When the copper coin swords flew halfway, the eighty-one Five Emperors coins that made up the sword body suddenly scattered and became darts that continued to fly. The copper coins hit the ghost soldiers, and the golden light surged, turning the ghost soldiers that emerged first into a ball of black mist and dispersing them.

The magic power of the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation was still taking effect. Some of the star power that had just been concentrated on the monster was dispersed and condensed into a small galaxy that rushed towards the Yin soldiers and completely enveloped them.

With some ghost soldiers temporarily blocking his way, Madir quickly turned around and ran towards the place where the person who had agreed to pick him up was.

Zhu Yun locked his eyes on his position, and made a hand gesture with his hands flying, and then pointed his finger at his forehead. After reciting a few spells, several dazzling golden lights suddenly burst out from his head, and the Three Pure Ones gradually appeared. This Dharma image was in a translucent state, like a phantom, but the golden light it emitted seemed to be tangible and substantial.

Madir felt the strong force on his back. He didn't dare to look back or stop. He just kept running forward. "Someone! Someone! Come and pick me up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light attacked him, and the snake bone staff and soul-catching banner in his hand turned into powder. These two things were quite heavy, and when they disappeared so suddenly, his center of gravity was shaken, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Someone is coming!"

He shouted and tried to stand up with his hands on the ground. The next second, two pairs of big shoes stepped in front of him. He looked up, wanting to see what was going on and whether the person in front of him was his rescuer. Unexpectedly, before he could see clearly, he felt a pain in his neck and then lost consciousness.

The old house of the Yun family,

After Yu Ru fainted for the second time, her body temperature became colder and colder. After Shanren performed some rituals to protect her soul, her body temperature gradually returned to normal, but she was still unconscious and her pulse was weak.

At this moment, except for the couple Yun Wenzhi and Yun Sizhi who had not returned, and Yun Bianzhi, the Sangzhu Fairy who heard the news and was rushing to come, everyone else was gathered together. Yu Ru closed her eyes and lay on the bed. Sister Shan and her three female bodyguards were watching over her. There was a gauze screen in front of the bed to block the view. The others discussed the issue behind the screen.

Situ Ningzhai sat on an armchair, turned his head to look at Yu Ru's reflection on the screen, and asked, "Shanren, what's going on with Xiaoru?"

"Grandma, I think it's probably the formation in the yard that conflicted with the curse on my sister-in-law, which opened up some kind of passage. Although my sister-in-law's soul was not successfully captured by that evildoer, a wisp of her soul was sent to another place or a certain space."

"Then is there any way to get her soul back?" Yun Zhonghe asked.

Shanren nodded, "Yes, but if I take charge, the risk is relatively high. My skills are not strong enough. If Grandpa Zhuyun does it, the risk will be smaller."

"Shanren, what is the method? Tell me briefly." Yunjixing asked.

"Find someone that my sister-in-law cares about very much, and that person also cares about her enough, and have his soul leave his body, follow the guidance, go to the place where my sister-in-law's soul is trapped, and bring her back."

"I'll go, I'll bring her back." Yun Jixing said without hesitation.

"Brother Yuan, calm down first. This is difficult for me to do. I don't dare to do it. If you fail, you might die or become a vegetable and never wake up. Because what is missing is only a part of my sister-in-law's soul, not her whole body, so it is very likely that the soul does not know who you are. Another possibility is that the soul knows you, but she happens to be the part that carries my sister-in-law's evil thoughts. If this is the case, she may tempt you to do bad things and make you never come back."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed slightly.
