As soon as these words were spoken, all the villagers were in an uproar.

The shamaness had moved to this village from elsewhere and had been here for more than ten years.

Over the years, she was invited to perform rituals for weddings and funerals, which had almost become a tradition in this mountain village.

No one had expected that this shamaness would do something so heartless.

Master Huang sneered coldly, "What a wicked witch, who gave you the magic artifact?"

The shamaness showed fear on her face but dared not speak.

Boom!

There was a cracking sound of thunder as Master Huang released another Lightning Attracting Talisman, striking the shamaness on the head.

The shamaness, frightened out of her wits, rolled to the ground, pleading bitterly.

"I'll speak, I'll speak, please spare me, Master Huang, I won't dare do it again."

Master Huang's gaze was like lightning, holding a peach wood sword in his left hand, he stared at the shamaness on the ground.

"I'll give you one more chance, who gave you the magic artifact? Why do such a heinous thing?"

The shamaness, intimidated by Master Huang's presence, dared not conceal the truth anymore, speaking softly.

"A Taoist gave me the magic artifact. He's at the Zhu Family Tomb behind the mountain. After the deed, he gave me ten thousand bucks."

"Zhu Family Tomb!"

As soon as the shamaness said this, other villagers exclaimed and took a step back, as if they had heard something particularly terrifying.

Master Huang was also momentarily startled, then sneered coldly.

"It seems there's an evil path causing trouble. I'll act on behalf of Heaven and take care of him."

Hearing this, countless villagers knelt down, bowing to Master Huang.

"Thank you, Immortal Master, for taking action."

Master Huang, full of righteousness, waved his hand.

"Everyone, please rise. I may come from Wutong Village and no longer live in this mortal world, but I can't just watch these monsters harm our kin."

Yang Fei and Susu hadn't expected such an unexpected turn of events.

However, Yang Fei and Susu were pleased to see it, to avoid conflict with the villagers.

While Master Huang subdued the shamaness, Yang Fei kept examining the bell instrument discarded by Master Huang, his brow furrowing more deeply.

This bell instrument looked unremarkable, but the craftsmanship was extraordinary.

Inside the bell were carved ghost patterns, which were also talismans.

Though only a few symbols were engraved, Yang Fei could see at a glance that these ghost patterns were of notable origin, not something a typical magic cultivator could comprehend.

It's like the difference between a grade-schooler and a mathematician.

Though they both use 1-10 Arabic numerals, different combinations represent different mathematical realms.

In Yang Fei's view, these few ghost talismans were the work of a great master in the demonic path, with such accomplishments.

The harm caused by a powerful figure of the demonic path is unimaginable.

With just one careless act, hundreds or thousands could bleed and die.

Otherwise, this crisis wouldn't have manifested in the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

As for this majestic Master Huang, Yang Fei wasn't too concerned.

He was merely a first-level cultivator in the Qi Refinement realm.

His Lightning Attracting Talisman couldn't compare to Yang Fei's, not even to the lowest-level disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain.

But in this remote mountain area, such a small ant in the Qi Refinement realm was a living immortal in the eyes of the villagers.

However, this living immortal, if he encountered the owner of this bell, probably wouldn't even be able to escape.

While numerous villagers knelt on the ground, only Yang Fei and Susu stood in the center of the courtyard, feeling somewhat conspicuous.

Master Huang narrowed his eyes, his irritation subtly showing.

It turned out that Master Huang was from Wutong Village. He had later gone to the city to work and had a fortunate encounter, apprenticing under a loose cultivator.

He learned from the loose cultivator for a few years, returned, and set up a company in the provincial city, specializing in feng shui, fortune-telling, and picking burial sites.

In the provincial city, he was a renowned figure, with assets in the tens of millions.

He mingled with the high and mighty, interacting with people who were either wealthy or noble.

This time Master Huang returned to pay respects at his parents' graves.

Upon hearing of the strange occurrence in the village, he came specifically to investigate and immediately saw through the shamaness's true identity.

In the eyes of the people, Master Huang was a figure akin to an immortal.

In Master Huang's view, even if he wasn't an immortal, he wasn't far off.

Seeing Yang Fei and Susu indifferent, he felt somewhat offended.

However, Yang Fei was elucidating the mysteries of the bell instrument.

Faced with Master Huang's posturing, Yang Fei couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous, a faint smirk on his lips.

Master Huang's displeasure grew, and Yang Fei's smile was intolerable to him.

He put away the peach wood sword and walked up to Yang Fei, speaking indifferently.

"Young man, you don't understand the danger. Is this evil artifact for you to touch? I predict you'll face calamity within an hour."

With that, Master Huang took out two Purifying Talismans from the cloth bag behind him.

"This is a Purifying Talisman, consecrated by yours truly."

"If you wear it, you'll be safe from harm. Since I'm not doing business while visiting my hometown, it's just 5000 bucks for you."

Yang Fei glanced casually, noting the Purifying Talismans had no spiritual energy fluctuations, obviously fakes.

Master Huang, seeing Yang Fei and Susu dressed in fine clothes and exuding extraordinary demeanor, seemed to have mistaken them for suckers, encountering such a strange event in the mountains.

Yang Fei chuckled, looking at Master Huang mockingly.

"Is that so? This thing is indeed eerie, but not enough for a blood calamity. I think you should be more cautious."

Saying this, he casually tore apart the talisman in Master Huang's hand without a glance.

Master Huang was taken aback, then burst into anger.

"Young man, do you not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth? If you have the guts, follow me to the Zhu Family Tomb and see my divine skills."

Yang Fei chuckled softly.

"My courage is much greater than you think. I'll go with you."

Master Huang was surprised that this pretty boy was so bold, quite unexpected.

He had intended merely to scare Yang Fei, not expecting the lad to agree without hesitation.

Master Huang then looked at Susu.

"So, does this young lady also intend to join us on this journey?"

Susu smiled faintly.

"Of course, I will go too. Just in time to witness the Taoist Priest's divine skills."

Master Huang was taken aback again. Misjudging Yang Fei was one thing.

But he hadn't anticipated this delicate and gentle girl would dare to go to the Zhu Family Tomb with him.

Relying on his high skills and bravery, Master Huang figured he could handle a small-time magic cultivator easily.

Several brave villagers, trusting Master Huang, followed behind him toward the Zhu Family Tomb.

The cautious and prudent village chief stopped Yang Fei and Susu.

"You two city kids, don't get yourself killed by following blindly. Do you even know what the Zhu Family Tomb is?"

Yang Fei knew the village chief meant well and smiled slightly.

"What is the Zhu Family Tomb? Please, could the village chief tell us?"

The village chief sighed deeply.

"You young ones these days, you're just too fearless."

"Didn't you hear the shamaness? That place harbors evil spirits."
