Chapter Twenty: Professionals

"Originating from the body?"

Chloe was stunned.

"Yes……"

The village chief, his back hunched and his face somber, said, “Every sunset, strange mud seeps from Annie’s skin, and her behavior also becomes… bizarre.”

"She claimed that she felt a kind of calling, and her body would uncontrollably follow the source of that calling. We tried closing the windows and locking the doors, but she would always run out at night... And as you can see from the terrain here, she almost fell off a cliff once. We had no choice but to tie her to the bed like this."

"I'm sorry... Father..."

At the same time, the girl on the bed let out a soft moan.

"No, it's not your fault, Anne."

The village chief sighed, "Gentlemen, I can only rely on you now."

"Hmm...is there any way, Chloe?"

Although Chesia is a demon, she is only skilled in illusion magic because of it, and she doesn't really have much of a clue about this curse-like thing.

"Let me try it."

Chloe pondered, "To be honest, I've never seen such a strange curse before. It's probably related to some unknown evil spirit."

After speaking, Chloe told Cheshire to step outside the door, then raised her staff and summoned holy light.

"I pray to my Lord, in the name of the Holy Light, that He may grant me the divine power to purify all defilement."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling holy light enveloped the girl on the bed.

"what!!!"

The latter's body immediately trembled, its limbs twisted, and it emitted painful whimpers.

A wisp of smoke rose, as if scorched, and black scars, like cracked patterns, spread across the girl's pale skin.

"Annie!? Annie!!!"

Seeing this, the village chief panicked and rushed to the bedside.

Chloe immediately stopped the divine spell, her brows furrowed. "Strange, how could this be?"

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the noise, Chesia peeked out from behind the door again.

As a demon, she still had to avoid the purifying holy light.

"The purifying holy light should only harm chaotic races, so how could it burn Annie?"

Chloe expressed her surprise, "This shouldn't be the case, unless..."

She couldn't speak directly because the village chief was still there, but she was already starting to doubt whether the girl lying on the bed was still human.

However, when evil spirits possess humans or corrupt people's hearts, the effects are usually spiritual. Humans are still human at heart, and there should be no change in their racial nature.

What curse could possibly change the entire human race?

"This is a corrupted person."

Just then, a voice came from the side.

Chloe turned her head and saw the disheveled man, Ye Xiao, and said calmly.

"The corruption that occurs due to the influence of unclean divine power causes irreversible distortion of both the body and the soul."

"What, you seem to know this place?"

Chloe frowned.

"I've encountered similar incidents before."

Ye Xiao stroked his chin. "Simply put, this isn't an ordinary curse; it's the work of some kind of evil god."

"Then tell me how you plan to solve this?"

"Generally speaking, only gods can deal with gods."

Ye Xiao glanced over the wall. Although he wasn't standing at the door, he seemed to be able to see the girl's situation behind the wall. "This girl hasn't been completely corrupted yet, so the simplest way is to let her be assimilated by the power of a higher-level god, covering up the corruption originally inflicted by the evil god."

"Holy light also comes from divine power, so why can't it?"

"I can't help but ask," Chesia asked with concern.

“Holy light and this chaotic divine power are mutually restraining, and their collision is not gentle enough. Her body and soul will not be able to withstand it.”

Ye Xiao explained.

"So that means we have to find another evil god to deal with this situation?"

Chloe's lips twitched. "How is that possible? Evil God, even if we really found it, we'd be lucky to be alive."

"So while this method is direct and simple, it is not very suitable for our current situation."

Ye Xiao added, "There's another method that's a little more complicated, but it's more suitable for us."

"I feel like you're just talking nonsense."

Chloe pouted.

"This is indeed a relatively advanced level of knowledge, so it's normal that you don't understand it."

Ye Xiao shrugged.

"You're looking down on me because of what you're saying."

Chloe crossed her arms. "Then you do it. Let's see if you can handle demons better than the Sanctuary."

"Row."

Ye Xiaoxin readily agreed, and handed the rope in her hand to Chloe, saying, "Then you hold it for me first."

"Forehead?"

Chloe was a little nervous. She took the rope and then saw Agnes looking at Ye Xiao with pleading eyes like a pitiful little dog as he walked away. She had a very subtle feeling about it.

What's up with this woman wearing a collar? We've been walking together for a while, what's she doing here?

Inside the room, the village chief was still holding his daughter's hand, greeting her and asking her questions.

Annie's complexion became even weaker due to the burning effect of the holy light.

"Excuse me, Mr. Village Chief."

Ye Xiao patted the village chief on the shoulder.

"Oh, Goddess Undine, are you really sure you can do this? If not, I can cover your travel expenses back home, but please don't harm my daughter."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional, unlike the person just now."

Ye Xiao smiled.

"Who are you calling a counterfeit?!"

Chloe heard this and shouted angrily.

"But Chloe, he didn't say you were a fake, meow."

Little Algae said in a childish voice, "You said it yourself, meow."

Chloe's lips twitched, and she pinched Xiaozao's cheek, pouting, "You're siding with outsiders, aren't you!"

"Wrong, meow! It's about to transform, meow!"

Ignoring the incident outside the room, Ye Xiao stepped forward after the village chief reluctantly gave way. He took out a thick Holy Codex from his trench coat, placed it in his left palm, and then opened his right hand to gently stroke the forehead of the girl on the bed.

Ye Xiao's upright posture did indeed have the air of a priest, but Chloe outside the door scoffed – even she, a true priestess, was helpless, so what use was this guy's pretentious display of a temple code that wasn't even a medium?

I thought he had some profound insights after listening to his rambling, incomprehensible words, but it turns out he was just spouting nonsense.

"Um……"

Ye Xiaojing looked at the girl's frail face, and after a while, she suddenly frowned, "Aren't you coming out?"

"To be a deity and yet hide inside a human body, isn't that a bit beneath you?"

"What is this guy babbling about?"

Chloe, clinging to the doorframe, looked surprised.

Unexpectedly, as Ye Xiao finished speaking, a fierce and sinister aura suddenly erupted.

It was as if the temperature of the entire house had plummeted, and a chilling sensation shot from the soles of everyone's feet to their heads.

It was a fear stemming from biological instinct. Chloe's previously disdainful expression froze instantly, and her legs began to tremble involuntarily.

This... is something no ordinary demon could do. As a priest with faith in the Holy Light, the terrifying aura that could make even her tremble with fear must be far beyond her imagination.

Chesia and Xiaozhao huddled together, with Chesia's succubus tail popping out from under her cloak and intertwining with Xiaozhao's cat tail.

"Interesting, humans."

The girl on the bed no longer showed signs of weakness; instead, she revealed a ferocious smile. "How did you find out?"

Her voice was not as feminine as it used to be; instead, it became hoarse and rough.

“My cat could smell your stench from outside the house.”

Ye Xiao held the Holy Law Codex in his left hand and gestured, "Should you come out yourself, or should I ask you to come out?"

"Ridiculous. Human, I admit you have some skill, but don't be so arrogant. You think you can deal with me with just a mere Holy Law Codex?"

"Great God of Light, your faithful follower prays to you, hoping to have your power by my side, solely to drive away evil. Please do not blame me..."

Ye Xiao then began to recite it to himself.

This was of course useless. The girl on the bed, who was possessed, burst into wild laughter. Such a foolish act, which did not even respond to the holy light, would not be feared even by the weakest undead.

Chloe, whose legs were trembling outside the door, broke out in a cold sweat—what was this person chanting? It wasn't a proper prayer at all, with "please forgive me"—no pastor would ever add such nonsensical words when invoking the Holy Light.

But the next second, she saw Ye Xiao grab the law book and swing it hard on the girl's head.

Chapter Twenty-One: The Secret Technique of Exorcism

"Wow!!!"

The girl on the bed coughed up blood onto the wall after being hit, then turned around in shock, "What are you doing?!"

Ye Xiaoxuan then swung the law book at the girl's face again, and two broken front teeth flew out.

"I'll beat you up."

His words were concise and to the point, and after he finished speaking, he raised the law code again.

"You still dare to hit me?!"

With a furious shout, a sudden gust of wind rose in the room and spread outwards, causing the surrounding curtains to flutter loudly, and the huge wooden cabinet to instantly turn into pieces.

The village chief and Chesia and the others at the entrance were all blown to the ground by the gale. In the dim light, various debris flew around, and the light and shadow flickered, as if the sunlight leaking in through the cracks in the window had become an old light bulb.

Chloe, leaning on her staff, knelt on the ground, struggling to support herself, while Agnes, whom she was holding, clung to her thighs and screamed like a panicked puppy.

The power was so terrifying that even though the gale-force winds made it almost impossible for her to open her eyes, she could still imagine the fate of the man in the eye of the storm.

But then, a dark shadow flew over from the other end of the room like a ball and crashed into the wall.

"Snapped"

With a crisp sound of wall panels and bones breaking, the howling wind in the room stopped, and Chloe stared blankly at the girl possessed by the evil god, who was embedded in the wall in front of her in a very unsightly way.

"Damn it...humans!!!"

The girl grabbed the wall with both hands, let out a "whoosh" and rushed out, her limbs twisting at bizarre angles as she lunged at Ye Xiao, who was carrying the Holy Codex and walking towards her through the gray mist.

Without dodging or avoiding, he simply gripped the spine of the book and, just as the arrow-like black shadow was about to touch him, delivered a precise and decisive blow to the other's forehead once more.

"what!!!"

The girl who was lunging forward was immediately twisted ninety degrees by a spell, and her head slammed into the floor.

The girl's head pierced a hole in the solid floor, her slender neck stuck in the floor's fracture. A few seconds later, Ye Xiao grabbed her by the back of her collar and forcefully pulled her head out of the ground. Then, he slapped her bloodied face with a slap, sending her flying like a spinning top.
