On the seventh day of the competition, the representative of the Nanyang Taoist faction was a skinny old man wearing a white cloak. His body was covered in tattoos. He called himself Li Yi, the White-Clothed Ahzan.
I wasn't familiar with the name White-Clothed Ahzan. After listening to Zhang Kanwen's introduction, I learned that it was a group of cultivators from Southeast Asia.
He was different from the Ghost Nurturing Sect and the Taming Head Master, which originated from the Xuanmen of the Central Plains. The White-Clothed Ahzan's magic technique didn't have much to do with the Xuanmen of the Central Plains. Instead, it was related to Tibetan Buddhism.
Moreover, the magic tool that the White-Clothed Ahzan used was the Buddhist amulet that had been circulating for many years.
According to the legends, the Buddhist amulets were made by Thai monks who had great achievements in cultivation. Ordinary amulets could help people ward off disasters. However, some monks with profound cultivation bases could make Buddhist amulets with great power. They were similar to the magic tools of the Xuanmen.
It sounded mysterious and related to religion. After Zhang Kanwen finished, I worriedly asked, "In the Xuanmen world, Buddhism has always been mysterious. I don't have any experience. I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with them."
After listening to me, Zhang Kanwen sneered and said indifferently, "What Buddhists? These Thai people talk about the Buddhist amulets of eminent monks. But if you look carefully, you'll see that the amulets are sealing little ghosts and evil spirits.
Don't be fooled by the name. Actually, this amulet doesn't have much to do with Buddhism. You just need to deal with it the same way you dealt with the Taming Head Master. "
After listening to Zhang Kanwen, I felt relieved. I walked to the center of the arena.
The White-Clothed Ahzan was skinny and dark. When he saw me, he didn't say anything or show any etiquette. He raised the amulet in his hand and placed it on top of his head.
I couldn't help but look at the amulet. A three-armed Buddha was carved on it. Before I could take a closer look, the Buddha's eyes suddenly shot out two beams of black light. Then, a strange and evil aura shot out of the amulet. It moved as fast as lightning and directly invaded my body.
Suddenly, my head felt as if it had been hit by something. An intense dizziness filled my head, and everything in front of me turned black. I couldn't see anything clearly.
I was shocked and hurriedly circulated my Dao Qi. I took out my Square Heavenly Fan and prepared to defend myself. However, the strange thing was that although I could sense my Dao Qi, I couldn't circulate it at all. It was as if something had directly cut off the connection between me and my Dao Qi.
I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't use my Dao energy. I panicked and lifted my feet, wanting to retreat.
At that moment, Tong Tong's voice suddenly sounded in my head. "Brother, I'll deal with this person."
As soon as I said that, I felt Tong Tong come out of the jade bracelet and move toward the white-clothed Ah Zan.
With Tong Tong's help, the pressure in my heart was greatly reduced. I took a deep breath to suppress the panic in my heart. I closed my eyes and chanted the Tranquil Heart Incantation.
After my mind had completely calmed down, the Dao Qi in my body quickly circulated. The evil and mysterious aura was finally completely expelled from my body. When I opened my eyes again, my eyes had already returned to normal. I hurriedly looked at Tong Tong and the white clothed Ah Zan.
After a glance, I relaxed. From the time I had closed my eyes and chanted the Tranquil Heart Incantation until now, it had only been around one minute. However, Tong Tong had already gained the upper hand. She had used her black threads to tie up the white-clothed Ah Zan's hands. Even the amulet in his hand had fallen to the ground.
However, this person's technique was indeed mysterious. Even when his body was tied up, the densely packed tattoos on his body actually emitted a layer of greenish-black light, and he was still trying his best to resist the Yin Qi threads in his eyes.
With Tong Tong's absolute advantage, this person didn't resist for long. Around half a minute later, the dark blue light around his body disappeared. Tong Tong's black threads had directly tied him up like a rice dumpling. With a pale face, he fell to the ground. He didn't have the strength to resist anymore.
After the people from the Nanyang Taoist sect admitted defeat, Tong Tong let go of the white-clothed Ah Zan and returned to the jade bracelet.
The victory was considered easy, but I was a little worried in my heart because when Tong Tong returned, I saw that she had a tired expression on her face. Even though she didn't say it, I could feel that this short battle wasn't as easy as it seemed on the surface.
Zhang Kanwen was the first to walk over. He reached out his hand and hammered my shoulder. He smiled and said, "Look, this bullsh * t white-clothed Ah Zan is just so-so. You took care of him in just five minutes. It seems that this person's power is much weaker than the previous ones."
I smiled wryly and shook my head. Zhang Kanwen's words were gravely mistaken. In terms of danger, the previous few added together couldn't compare to this white-clothed Azan. Although I had used a shorter amount of time, my victory was far from easy.
Especially when the mysterious power of the amulet made me fall for it. Fortunately, Tong Tong wasn't a spirit that I had raised, so she took the initiative to judge the situation and appear from the jade bracelet, helping me resolve the crisis. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable. Just as I was about to explain, Chen Shuhe also walked over.
Just as I was about to explain, Chen Shuhe walked over. He had obviously heard what Zhang Kanwen had said and said, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense. Nanyang's mysterious techniques have their own specialties. In terms of inheritance, they can't be compared to our Central Plains' mysterious techniques. However, in terms of evil, they are superior. If you aren't careful, you will fall into their trap. Although you won this round, you can't be careless. Nanyang will send Ah Zan for the next round. His cultivation is even higher than the previous person. Do you think we should compete again tomorrow?"
I nodded. Tong Tong needed to rest now. I also needed time to ponder the evil and mysterious aura from the amulet today.
Thus, both sides stopped fighting. The people from the Nanyang Daoist faction left first. Just as I was about to return to the hotel, President Xu called me. "They have agreed to an interview. Do you want to stay for an interview?"
I couldn't help but laugh. A few days ago, when the people from the Metaphysics Society saw the reporters, they didn't have a good expression. Let alone accepting an interview, they didn't even bother to talk to us. Now, they wanted me to accept an interview.
I thought about it and shook my head. If I had the energy, I'd better go back and rest. I could also prepare for the final battle tomorrow.
After returning to the hotel, I was heading to my room when I suddenly frowned. I felt that someone was following me.
The hotel was a public place, so it wasn't a big deal to have someone following me. However, I felt the aura of Dao, and there were two of them.
Thus, I stopped in my tracks and turned my head around vigilantly. I discovered that Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande were following behind me.
It wasn't beyond my expectations that they would come to find me.
I sneered and walked in front of them. "Fellow Daoists from the Nanyang Daoist faction, why are you following me?"
When they heard the way I addressed them, their eyelids twitched. Then, they put on a long face and begged, "They came to me to get rid of the black magic spell. They hope that I can save them."
I sneered and ridiculed them. "You've already joined a black magic spell sect. Do you still need me to get rid of it?"
As soon as I said that, the two of them looked regretful. They sighed and said that they were muddle-headed and that they were forced to join the Ghost Exorcist Lei Yang's sect. They regretted it for a long time and hoped that I could give them a chance to turn over a new leaf.
They sounded pitiful, but I knew that they didn't know how to get rid of Lei Yang after seeing him die. I didn't know how long it would take for the Nanyang Daoist faction to bring them back to Nanyang to find an expert to get rid of them. It would be better for them to try their luck here.
I originally wanted to reject them, but after thinking for a moment, I asked them, "If I help you get rid of the black magic spell, will you be able to repay me?"
When Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande heard that there was hope, they immediately became excited. They looked at each other and said without hesitation, "As long as we can get rid of the black magic spell, we can agree to any condition."
The two of them were obviously forced into a dead end. After saying that, they even knelt in front of me.
I pondered for a moment and didn't immediately make a decision. Instead, I secretly asked Tong Tong if there was any method to plant a restriction in a person's body.
The black magic spell was essentially to plant a restriction in a person's body to control them. Since Tong Tong could get rid of the black magic spell, she must have a similar method to the black magic spell.
After asking, it was just as I had guessed. Tong Tong said that she had a similar method. Moreover, it was much more advanced than the black magic spell. It was a restriction technique recorded in the 'Art of Godhood' that I had given her.
After getting this answer, I nodded to Xie Chenghua and Liu Chuande and brought them to my room. I called Tong Tong and got rid of the black magic spell in their bodies. At the same time, I asked Tong Tong to plant the restriction in their bodies.
