Chapter 20

Seeing that Justice Hill could no longer pull out any more bags, the old Daoist waved his wide sleeve, and those few bags disappeared into his sleeve.

He put on a look of righteous indignation and said, “Since that’s the case, even if I exhaust all my magical power, I must once again act on behalf of Heaven!”

He glanced around at the crowd a few more times, picked up another sheet of white paper, and said, “I am about to cast a spell to vanquish evil again. Who is willing to hold this sheet of white paper so I can seal that demon into it?”

The surrounding villagers immediately took a step back upon hearing this.

The old Daoist’s gaze fell upon that young couple.

When the first “demon” revealed itself just now, everyone had shown expressions of shock and fear—except for that couple, who not only weren’t afraid, but were even flirting with each other. His gaze landed on the young woman, and he asked with a smile, “Would this young lady be willing to help?”

Lily Carter’s face turned deathly pale, and she hurriedly took two steps back.

The old Daoist then looked at the young man beside her and asked, “What about you, young sir?”

Grace Carter was taken aback, pointed at his own nose, and asked uncertainly, “Me?”

A smile appeared on the old Daoist’s face. “Yes, you.”

For the second exorcism, instead of using his own disciple, he borrowed the hand of this young man, which could completely dispel everyone’s doubts.

Grace Carter looked at him and smiled. “Alright.”

Chapter 11: Also an Immortal!

“Grace Carter.”

Unexpectedly, Grace Carter actually agreed. Charles Walker stepped forward and said in a deep voice.

Lily Carter didn’t speak, but she grabbed his arm.

“It’s fine.” Grace Carter gave Charles Walker a slight smile and patted Lily Carter’s hand.

He walked to the front, took the white paper from the old Daoist’s hand, and asked, “What should I do?”

The old Daoist smiled and said, “You just need to hold this paper. Leave the rest to me.”

Grace Carter nodded, held the sheet of white paper upright in his hands.

Charles Walker watched him, his gaze flickering slightly, while Lily Carter looked worried.

The villagers of Guojia Village breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as they didn’t have to come into close contact with the demon, it was fine...

In front of the altar, the old Daoist once again picked up the peach wood sword, stepped in a certain pattern, and chanted incantations.

“Heaven and earth, mysterious origin, all energies are the root, cultivate through countless tribulations, prove my divine power, within and beyond the three realms, only the Dao is supreme... Guardians of the three realms, five emperors welcome, all gods pay homage, command the thunder, demons and ghosts are terrified, spirits and monsters vanish, within is thunder, the thunder god’s name is hidden!”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the peach wood sword in the old Daoist’s hand.

Charles Walker’s expression changed slightly, Lily Carter’s face was pale, her fingernails digging into her palms.

“Demon, show yourself!”

The old Daoist shouted again, his aura suddenly changing, the peach wood sword in his hand trembling rapidly, about to point at the white paper in Grace Carter’s hands.

Grace Carter seemed to be frightened by his display. His hands shook, and the sheet of white paper fell to the ground.

The old Daoist was stunned, and his sword stopped.

Grace Carter looked at him and asked worriedly, “Immortal, the paper fell to the ground. Can it still be used?”

“No problem, just pick it up,” the old Daoist replied with a slight smile.

Grace Carter stepped forward, and accidentally stepped on the paper.

He looked at the old Daoist, apologetic. “Sorry, really sorry...”

He turned and waved to someone beside Charles Walker, saying, “Clerk Wright, lend me a sheet of paper...”

The clerk standing next to Charles Walker was stunned for a moment, then quickly tore a blank sheet from his notebook and handed it to Grace Carter.

Grace Carter raised the paper, looked at the old Daoist, and said solemnly, “Immortal, go ahead. I’m ready.”

“……”

The old Daoist’s smile froze on his face.

The paper he had tampered with was now under Grace Carter’s foot. With just an ordinary sheet of paper, how could the demon reveal itself?

He looked at the paper under Grace Carter’s foot, then at the one in his hand. Suddenly, he took a few steps back, put down the peach wood sword, and let out a long sigh.

He looked at Grace Carter and said slowly, “Too much time was wasted just now. The evil spirit has already escaped.”

Justice Hill’s expression changed, and he looked at Grace Carter with deep reproach, then turned to the old Daoist and asked, “Immortal, what should we do now?”

“Don’t worry...” The old Daoist smiled and said, “It’s already been wounded by my demon-vanquishing sword. It won’t be able to stir up much trouble and won’t dare to come back.”

Only then did the elder Justice Hill relax.

Outside the crowd, Charles Walker looked at the white paper under Grace Carter’s foot, deep in thought.

Lily Carter pulled Grace Carter aside and frowned. “Are you crazy? What if the evil spirit possessed you?”

Grace Carter smiled and said nothing.

Lily Carter grew even angrier. “You can still laugh? You’re already a fool who remembers nothing. If you get possessed by an evil spirit, I won’t care about you anymore...”

She muttered beside Grace Carter, while the old Daoist had already picked up the sheet of white paper with the ghostly face, looked at the crowd, and said, “This ghost dared to cause trouble in the mortal world, violating the heavenly rules. Today, I will deep-fry this evil spirit as a warning to all evil within thirty li. Guojia Village is not a place for them to run wild!”

“We’ll leave everything to the Immortal.”
