Paper needles pierced the acupoints of the young man, guiding Ye Ling's spiritual power to clear the injuries and the lingering power of the evil spirit within him.
In truth, Ye Ling didn't necessarily need needles to save people. However, the young man was extremely weak, and his body could no longer withstand even the slightest bit of spiritual power Ye Ling could use. Therefore, Ye Ling had to resort to external aids to guide his spiritual power, allowing for precise manipulation to heal the young man's injuries bit by bit.
Although using paper needles for treatment was Ye Ling's last resort, in Zhang Xiaoxia's eyes, Ye Ling had already become a peerless master of medicine!
In an instant, Ye Ling's standing in Zhang Xiaoxia's heart soared by dozens of floors!
Under Ye Ling's meticulous treatment, the hidden injuries within the young man were quickly cleared, and his weakened body was replenished with energy by Ye Ling's spiritual power.
Zhang Xiaoxia could see the young man's complexion improving at a visible rate!
"Incredible… Master Ye, you are truly divine!"
Zhang Xiaoxia looked at Ye Ling with adoration, her admiration boundless!
She had seen highly skilled physicians before, but none of them could match Ye Ling's medical prowess!
"Here you go."
Ye Ling removed the paper needles and returned them to Zhang Xiaoxia. "You can inject your spiritual power into the paper needles to erase my imprint, and they will revert to talismans."
"No, no, no… the paper needles are wonderful. I want to collect them."
Zhang Xiaoxia carefully held the handful of paper needles, as if afraid they might break. She wrapped them in other talismans and gently placed them in her pocket.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoxia treat a seemingly useless set of paper needles so earnestly, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, then turned his attention back to the young man.
Just then, the young man opened his eyes and saw Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia, his gaze filled with confusion. "Where am I…"
Seeing the young man wake up, Zhang Xiaoxia told him, "We found you collapsed in this pile of debris, severely injured. Master Ye saved you."
"I… I'm still alive?"
The young man's confusion deepened. He remembered mistakenly entering the domain of a sixth-grade evil spirit, after which he was gravely injured by it and lost consciousness.
He had thought he was already dead, but unexpectedly, he was saved!
Thinking of the evil spirit, the young man suddenly startled and quickly sat up from the ground, exclaiming, "Quick, you two benefactors, flee! There's a ferocious evil spirit here, extremely dangerous!"
"Don't worry, that evil spirit isn't here right now, so we are safe for the moment," Ye Ling said with a smile to the young man. "What I'm more curious about now is, who are you, and why are you here?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the young man breathed a sigh of relief. He then realized he hadn't introduced himself and felt it was rude, so he cupped his fists and bowed. "I am Zhuge Yexun of the Marquis of Wu Sect."
"Zhuge Yexun? Are you from the Zhuge family of Xichuan?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Yexun's name, Zhang Xiaoxia exclaimed in surprise.
The Zhuge family of Xichuan, whose ancestor was the Marquis of Wu Zhuge Kongming of the Shu Kingdom, was a renowned family of mystics in the circle!
Few disciples of the Marquis of Wu Sect emerged into the world, but when they did, they were invariably geniuses who would bring renown to China!
"It seems you recognize the Marquis of Wu Sect, young lady. I am honored."
Zhuge Yexun respectfully bowed to Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia. "May I ask, you two…"
"My name is Zhang Xiaoxia, a thirty-seventh-generation disciple of the Zhengyi Sect. This is Master Ye…"
Halfway through, Zhang Xiaoxia paused, looking at Ye Ling somewhat awkwardly, unsure how to introduce him.
She had only heard from her master that Master Ye was called Ye Ling; her master hadn't shared any other details.
"Just call me Ye Ling. I have no sect or faction," Ye Ling said magnanimously, unconcerned with etiquette or seniority.
Since he had returned, Ye Ling naturally intended to act under his original identity on Earth.
If Ye Ling were to maintain the demeanor of an Emperor from the Eastern Profound Continent, given his age, he could be the ancestor of everyone on Earth. If he insisted on being addressed as Emperor or Ancestor upon meeting people, it would cause a lot of trouble.
Unless someone provoked him, Ye Ling was generally easygoing and didn't care much about others' titles or attitudes.
"I pay my respects to Master Ye," Zhuge Yexun followed Zhang Xiaoxia's address and bowed deeply to Ye Ling. "I dare not forget this life-saving grace."
Ye Ling said, "Let's get down to business. How did you end up here?"
Zhuge Yexun explained, "It's like this… I was ordered by my elders to attend the Heavenly Master Ordination Ceremony at the Zhengyi Sect. However, when I disembarked from the plane, I sensed the presence of malevolent spirits at the airport."
"As a disciple of the Marquis of Wu Sect, I naturally could not allow such evil to run rampant, so I followed the resentment here and mistakenly entered a domain, where I was gravely injured by a sixth-grade evil spirit."
"After that, I woke up and saw you two."
"A sixth-grade evil spirit!"
Zhang Xiaoxia exclaimed again. Although she had suspected the evil spirit lurking here might be sixth-grade, hearing Zhuge Yexun confirm its cultivation level still made her involuntarily feel fear.
With their current strength, encountering a sixth-grade evil spirit would only lead to their slaughter!
Ye Ling, having anticipated this, showed no change in his expression and asked Zhuge Yexun, "When you arrived, were there these corpses and formations?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's question, Zhuge Yexun finally noticed the line of corpses not far away, and his expression shifted slightly!
"No! At that time, I encountered the evil spirit killing a worker. There weren't so many innocent people harmed then!"
Seeing the corpses, a trace of anger flashed in Zhuge Yexun's eyes. "This malevolent entity deserves to be punished by heaven and earth!"
"I believe this matter should be reported to the Zhengyi Sect immediately, so that the Grand Heavenly Masters can eliminate this evil!"
To dare to commit murder and sacrifice in a place with such a high flow of people as an airport showed that the evil spirit had reached a point of utter lawlessness.
If it were not eliminated quickly, it would be a great disaster for the human world! Daifeng Novel.
"We also want to get out… but we're trapped in this cursed domain now, and we can't even find the exit. How can we leave?" Zhang Xiaoxia said with helplessness, her voice low.
Although they were safe for the moment, the evil spirit could return at any time.
If they couldn't find a way out by then, they would all die here.
"Leave this to me. My Marquis of Wu Sect is skilled in the Bagua formations and has considerable experience with domains. I will break the formation."
Zhuge Yexun bowed again to Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia, then bit his thumb and drew a simple pattern on his palm.
"Marquis of Wu Bagua, Four Plates Return to Origin!"
Zhuge Yexun shouted softly, and with his palm as the center, a transparent Bagua disk materialized, spreading outwards and encompassing Ye Ling and Zhang Xiaoxia.
'Earth actually has such formations? Interesting…'
Ye Ling's eyes lit up slightly with interest as he saw the esoteric formation Zhuge Yexun used.
The formation Zhuge Yexun employed subtly resonated with the will of the Heavenly Dao, its core aligning with his own Heavenly Mechanism Diagram.
If this kind of technique were pushed to its extreme, it might not be impossible to derive the Heavenly Dao!
Ye Ling lowered his head slightly, a glint of sharp light flashing in his eyes.
'It seems this Marquis of Wu Sect has some real skill…'
