Lu Miao shook her head. “At most, two days.”
Last time she came, she had already sensed that his condition was not good, but she didn’t expect it to be like this.
“Isn’t there any other way?” Team Leader Chen furrowed his brow and asked.
The current state of Priest Lingxu, sacrificing himself to protect the people of Luo City, was truly regrettable.
Lu Miao was about to speak when the entire back hall suddenly shook violently.
The sky, which had been clear outside, instantly darkened.
It seemed as if something was about to break free from the suppression, about to burst out of the ground.
Master Jiuhua, who had remained silent all this time, changed his expression. “It can’t be contained anymore.”
He turned and looked at Lu Miao with a serious expression. “I am Jiuhua. I don’t know if you have any methods, no matter the cost, as long as we can complete the seal, I am willing to cooperate.”
This was Jiuhua Master?
When she had the incident with Gu Shiyan’s family, Jiuhua Master hadn’t arrived yet.
She hadn’t expected to meet him here today.
Lu Miao absentmindedly touched her nose, suddenly realizing that she had forgotten to disguise herself today.
Oh no, I hope he doesn’t recognize me in the future.
Director Han, who was nearby, immediately spoke up, “I’m willing to cooperate as well.” “I am too.”
“Count me in.”
Deputy Director Ding and the young Taoist priest next to him also firmly spoke up.
Priest Xuan Cheng, Priest Lingxu, and the other masters were willing to sacrifice for the sake of the people, so they could too!
For a moment, tne atmospnere In tne nail was solemn ana Tillea witn determination.
Even the usually unruly Lin Bufan was inspired, “I… I’m willing too?”
“Stay out of it and don’t cause trouble,” Lu Miao said, raising her hand and patting him on the head. “It’s such a trivial matter, don’t make it seem like you’re rushing to your death one by one.”
Dealing with nine evil spirits was indeed troublesome, but it wasn’t without a solution.
She turned to the young Taoist priest. “Do you have talisman paper and ink?”
The young Taoist priest nodded busyly and quickly fetched the items.
Lu Miao picked up a brush and swiftly drew on the talisman paper.
Lin Bufan curiously leaned over and picked up one, looking at the abstract lines on the paper. “Is this a sparrow?”
Lu Miao gave him a disdainful look. “It’s a Vermilion Bird! Can’t you tell?” Lin Bufan:
After looking at the other three abstract symbols on the talisman paper, which were too difficult to discern, he didn’t dare to speak again.
Well, he finally understood which window the heavens had closed on her.
Maybe it was artistic talent?
But why was the big shot suddenly painting at this time?
Lu Miao formed hand seals and set up a barrier within the hall.
Then she turned to Master Jiuhua and said, “Master, please take care of the hall. No one should step out of the door no matter what happens outside.”
After speaking, she reached out and took the talisman paper from Lin Bufan’s hand, then turned and walked straight toward the outside.
The others quickly followed her to the doorway, looking outside.
It was only a little past 6 p.m., but the sky outside was as dark as night.
The fierce wind raged, and several trees in the courtyard were even snapped in half.
Lu Miao stepped out of the hall, her frail figure walking straight into the storm.
The wind grew even more violent, but it seemed as if Lu Miao was surrounded by an invisible barrier, not even a corner of her clothes lifted.
The talismans on the wall outside the hall finally couldn’t hold on in the fierce wind and were blown away with a loud rustle.
From deep underground, a terrifying roar resounded.
Immediately, several huge black shadows suddenly emerged from various corners, surrounding Lu Miao in the center. Then they lunged at her with their claws and fangs.
“Be careful, boss,” Lin Bufan’s heart was in his throat.
Lu Miao lazily looked up and then casually threw the previously drawn talisman papers into the air.
After a crisp bird chirp, a fiery red Vermilion Bird soared into the sky from the talisman papers.
It directly pushed away the black shadows.
Then, a roar and a resounding cry shook the heavens and the earth.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, formed by radiant light, emerged from the talisman papers, guarding the east, west, south, and north of the City God Temple.
“Holy shit,” Lin Bufan couldn’t help but exclaim.
He knew boss was amazing, but he didn’t expect her to be this amazing!
She could summon the Four Divine Beasts with just a few drawings.
He was wrong, the heavens hadn’t closed any doors or windows on her!
Sensing the danger, the black shadows immediately gave up attacking Lu Miao and turned to escape from the temple.
Lu Miao’s hands swiftly changed before her.
The four divine beasts erupted with dazzling light, quickly connecting together, forming a cage of light that trapped the black shadows within.
The black shadows roared and screamed, madly colliding with the cage.
But the cage was like a furnace fire, burning them each time they struck.
Their colossal forms grew fainter and were on the verge of dissipating.
Realizing that there was no hope of escape, they let out a final roar and all the black shadows turned and rushed underground, instantly disappearing without a trace.
The fierce wind abruptly ceased, and the sky, which had been shrouded in black clouds, brightened once again.
In just a few minutes, calm returned outside.
Several yellow talisman papers drifted down from the sky.
Lu Miao raised an eyebrow.
These evil spirits were quite self-aware, knowing that if they persisted, they would be extinguished, so they ran fast.
Turning back to the hall, Director Han snapped out of his shock and stuttered, “Is it over?”
“Of course,” Lu Miao replied, walking past him and reaching out to pour herself a cup of water from the teapot on the table.
She had even called forth the Four Divine Beasts; if she couldn’t handle it, she might as well give up her title as a celestial master.
Beside her, Master Jiuhua shook his head with mixed emotions.
He had cultivated his whole life, yet he was still inferior to this Lu Master who had only been around for a few years.
With her current age and cultivation, she surpassed anyone in the past few hundred years.
So, in this world, there truly existed such an astonishing and extraordinary genius!
“Is there really no way for Priest Lingxu?” he asked.
“Well, not exactly.”
Lu Miao stepped forward, then somehow pulled out a small medicine bottle and took out a pill from it, handing it to the young Taoist priest next to her. “Give this to him to take.”
Then she looked at Master Jiuhua. “I’ve reversed the formation below. The vitality he lost will gradually return to his body. But as for when he will wake up, it’s uncertain for now. It could be a month, a year, or even longer.”
Master Jiuhua and Director Han both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. At least his life was saved, which was the best outcome.
With everything here resolved, Lu Miao looked at the time and was about to bid farewell to the others and leave.
But Master Jiuhua suddenly spoke up, “I heard this young friend say earlier that you are the Grand Master of Mountain River?”
In an instant, Lu Miao’s heart tightened.. Did he see her at the Gu family or somewhere else and recognize her?
