You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Ma Jitao sneered, "Stop with the nonsense. Our Ma family has been exorcising demons for generations. Our reputation is far more prestigious than his. Knowing the name alone is useless."

Qin Ran chimed in, "You're absolutely right. There's no need for us to discuss whose name is more famous. Take me to see the Demon-Slaying Well."

Ma Jitao didn't say anything and walked straight ahead.

Ma Jisong followed closely behind.

Qin Ran and Tang Da were at the back.

After wandering around the village for a while, the group arrived at a bamboo forest.

As they got closer, Qin Ran felt the yin energy getting heavier and heavier.

The group entered the bamboo forest and continued on their way.

After walking for a while, Qin Ran vaguely saw a well ahead.

They slowly approached and then surrounded the Demon-Slaying Well.

Qin Ran looked down and examined him.

A stone was placed on top of the Demon-Slaying Well.

This stone should be the legendary demon-suppressing stone.

A chain is wrapped around the demon-suppressing stone.

In addition, there were many runes pasted on it.

"With the demon-suppressing stone and the exorcism talisman, it seems your Ma family really are experts in exorcism," Qin Ran praised.

Ma Jisong said, "You've seen the situation. Now, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Qin Ran replied, "My idea remains the same as before: release the corpse demon, kill her, and everyone will be happy."

Ma Jisong was somewhat surprised.

This place is extremely yin in nature.

An ordinary sorcerer would surely have guessed that the creature in the well would be difficult to deal with.

Releasing them rashly will surely cause widespread death and destruction.

But Qin Ran didn't care at all and still wanted to release him.

Ma Jitao looked at Qin Ran: "Are you really not joking?"

"How could I joke about something like this? Don't worry, we'll all be fine, and I won't let the corpse demon escape. Wait for me a moment, I'll go set up the formation first."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he silently recited an incantation and began to set up the formation.

To prevent the corpse demon from escaping after being released, it is necessary to first set up an array to trap it.

Qin Ran released ancient divine power and, based on what he had learned before, set up a demon-trapping formation.

Golden light emanated from all around the Demon-Searching Well.

The Ma brothers were somewhat surprised to see this.

They had never seen such a complex formation.

In particular, a mysterious power has been lingering around it.

They had never seen this power before.

But they could sense that this power was an extremely yang force.

It seems this kid really does have some skills.

After Qin Ran finished setting up the formation, he said to the Ma brothers, "It's done. Now I'm going to make my move."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a violent impact came from the bottom of the Demon-Slaying Well.

The demon-suppressing stone began to shake.

Moreover, as time went on, the shaking of the demon-suppressing stone became stronger and stronger.

Ma Jisong exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no! This demon is about to break through the demon-suppressing stone!"

After saying that, Ma Jisong gathered his strength to try to stabilize the demon-suppressing stone.

Ma Jitao followed closely behind.

The two brothers used the Ma family's unique martial arts techniques to suppress the enemy.

However, it did not have any effect.

The demon-suppressing stone trembled even more violently.

"Brother, this corpse demon seems very irritable tonight. She's never been like this before," Ma Jisong said anxiously.

Ma Jitao didn't reply. He turned to Qin Ran and said, "If you want us to believe you, then you need to subdue the corpse demon in the well right now. If you can subdue her, then I will believe you have the ability to kill her."

"No problem, you guys get out of the way," Qin Ran said.

The Ma brothers exchanged a glance.

Then, the two slowly withdrew their hands and stepped back.

In an instant, the demon-suppressing stone began to shake at the wellhead.

This is a sign that it's about to shatter.

The Ma brothers were so frightened they broke out in a cold sweat.

At the same time, Qin Ran reached out and slapped the demon-suppressing stone.

He gathered his strength and released the ancient divine power.

A golden light enveloped the demon-suppressing stone.

Soon, the demon-suppressing stone stopped moving.

It firmly holds the wellhead down like Mount Tai.

The activity in the well gradually ceased.

Qin Ran laughed and said, "See? I've got her completely under my control."

The Ma brothers swallowed hard.

It seems Qin Ran is no ordinary player.

What he just released was still that pure Yang power.

Where does this power come from? It's so mysterious.

Ma Jitao asked, "May I ask, sir, what kind of power are you wielding?"

"This is called ancient divine power, the exclusive power of the ancient dragon race. To put it simply, it is a pure yang divine power that can disintegrate all dark forces," Qin Ran explained.

Ma Jitao nodded repeatedly.

It turned out to be the case.

Qin Ran is truly no ordinary sorcerer.

"We've certainly seen something amazing today. We've witnessed your strength. Now, release her," Ma Jitao said.

"Alright, you all step back, let me subdue this monster."

The Ma brothers and Tang Da stepped back.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Ran moved the demon-suppressing stone away.

The moment the demon-suppressing stone was moved.

The overwhelming aura of corpses surged forth, causing the entire earth to shake violently.

However, the corpse energy vanished instantly upon encountering the formation.

The Ma brothers stared intently at the well opening.

Even now, they still feel lingering fear.

Hopefully, they'll make the right bet.

Otherwise, everyone would die.

Time passed second by second, and the corpse aura continued to spread outwards.

Suddenly, a withered hand appeared at the well opening.

Next was a head.

His hair was disheveled, with only one eye showing.

The scene was like Sadako crawling out of the well.

Soon, the corpse demon crawled out of the well completely.

A lingering aura of death still hung in the air behind her.

"Hahahaha, descendants of the Ma family, you've imprisoned me for hundreds of years, and now I'm finally out. It's time to settle our scores."

The corpse demon's voice was terrifying.

Just hearing her voice is enough to send chills down your spine.

Qin Ran scoffed, "Ugly freak, stop trying to make yourself look good. You didn't run away on your own; I let you out."

"Who are you?!" The corpse demon tilted its head, its deep eyes looking at Qin Ran behind its thick hair.

"I released you so I could kill you. If you die, the Ma brothers won't have to guard this place anymore."

"court death!"

The corpse demon suddenly charged towards Qin Ran.

The two then began to wrestle.

Qin Ran and the corpse demon were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

Every time the corpse demon encounters the formation, it is burned by the ancient divine power.

At this moment, she also realized that someone had set up a demon-trapping formation in this place.

This kid seems extraordinary.

The corpse demon didn't want to fight Qin Ran to the death.

Run away first; there will be plenty of opportunities for revenge.

The corpse demon deliberately distanced itself from Qin Ran.

She tried to break free from the demon-trapping formation.

However, whenever one gets close to the edge of the formation, they are burned by the ancient divine power.

She screamed in pain.

"This is pure Yang divine power! You can actually use pure Yang divine power?" the corpse demon roared in exasperation.

Qin Ran sneered: "You're too weak. It's time to send you on your way."

After saying that, Qin Ran raised his head and roared angrily.

A divine dragon burst forth from behind.

The dragon roared, and all things submitted.

The corpse demon still wanted to fight head-on.

The dragon turned and charged toward her, opening its massive maw and spewing out ancient divine power.

The corpse demon was instantly swallowed up, turning into dark matter and disappearing into the night.

At the same time, a golden pill floated in the air.

Qin Ran caught it with his hand.

This must be the thousand-year-old inner core.

This was also the first time he had met him.

The Ma brothers were completely dumbfounded.

In just a short while, Qin Ran had dealt with the corpse demon.

This kid is practically a god.

They couldn't believe that such a person existed in Xijing City.

Today has truly been an eye-opening experience.

At the same time, Qin Ran handed the inner core to Ma Jitao: "Here, take this inner core."

Ma Jitao was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "If you destroyed the corpse, the inner core should rightfully belong to you."

"You two brothers have been guarding the corpse demon here all these years, it must have been really hard work. Please don't refuse, just accept it," Qin Ran said.

Ma Jitao was deeply moved, and he didn't refuse any longer: "Then I'll accept it."

Afterwards, everyone left the bamboo forest.

The Ma brothers also took away the demon-suppressing stone and those talismans.

"Mr. Qin, please forgive me for my previous offenses." Ma Jitao quickened his pace and walked to Qin Ran's side.

"I'm not that petty, I won't hold it against you. From now on, we're friends."

"Could we exchange contact information?"

Qin Ran stopped in his tracks: "Sure, if you ever need any help in the future, you can come to Xijing to find me."
