I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Just as Xu Lindong noticed that the seal on the door god stickers of the Dharma Protector Hall was loosening.

One kilometer away from Qinglong Temple, a faint, shadowy trail swept across the river in the park during the day, rapidly approaching the unfinished building next to the temple.

At the same moment, under the shade of trees on the opposite bank of the river, a strange female figure suddenly appeared.

She carried a gleaming straight knife, her long hair flowing freely. She wore a brownish-red tank top that looked like dried bloodstains, jeans, and bright red high heels. She followed closely behind that faint shadow, hurrying towards the unfinished building.

The woman's gait was strange, her legs twisting and swaying as if she had sprained them.

Logically, it's difficult to increase speed by walking like this.

But with each step she took, her figure would appear ghost-like dozens of meters away.

This is the Ghostly Step!

She slightly raised the straight knife in her hand, pointing it forward, as if the blade was dragging a walking corpse along.

The unfinished building project is getting closer and closer.

But just then, four figures came rushing up from behind, running at an astonishing speed.

The woman at the head of the group, carrying a large knife, ran 100 meters in under four seconds, her chest heaving violently.

Even more chillingly, as she sprinted at full speed, two eerie phantoms gradually appeared beside her.

Two illusory figures reached out and grabbed her arms like attendants, giving her wings and increasing her speed, as she headed straight for the woman who was using the Ghostly Steps.

"Captain, watch out! Wait for us!"

Three people were chasing closely behind, and someone shouted.

"The ghosts brought them along with the evil creatures!"

"Let's do it!"

Inside the unfinished building, two figures rushed out of the old stairwell.

At the same time, a child's figure crawled out of the broken vat in the corner and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Lu Qian has arrived with her people, and the evil creature has also appeared."

Inside the factory not far away, three figures who had been lying in ambush were ready to strike.

"Be ready to take action at any time."

As soon as the mice peeked out, they were all taken down.

We must not allow them to use that evil artifact from Yueshan Temple to attack Qinglong Temple.

A tall figure suddenly stood up, his body mysteriously sinking into the ground and disappearing into the soil.

Heavenly Dao Sequence Eight: [Land]!

He is the key to this operation, possessing the power to suppress the entire situation.

He is now lurking underground, ready to seal off the area at a crucial moment, cutting off the escape route for all the evil members of the Salvation Society.

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Dharma Protector Hall deep within Qinglong Temple.

Upon receiving Xu Lindong's reminder, Yuan Jing, the guardian of Qinglong Temple, who rushed over, changed his expression drastically upon seeing the scene before him.

The main gate of the Dharma Protector Hall was shaking slightly, and the crack in the door had opened by about one centimeter amidst the vibrations.

A dense, chilling aura of curse slowly emanated from it.

"The seal is loosening? No, it's the evil entity inside attacking the portal... What's going on?"

Yuan Jing suddenly turned his head, glaring angrily at Xu Lindong and Yi Qianxun, his powerful aura erupting from him: "Did you bring in some evil creature? What exactly is your purpose?"

"Hey, old man, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Yi Qianxun was immediately angered. Although she was intimidated by the other party's extraordinary aura, with Xu Lindong standing in front of her, she still mustered up the courage to retort:

"We didn't do anything; we just noticed something was wrong with the door as soon as we arrived and immediately notified you!"

"Old man?" Yuan Jing's face darkened even more.

Xu Lindong frowned: "Chief Yuan, calm down."

What you should do now is immediately activate the temple's formation to reinforce the seal.

If we had a problem, you should have noticed when we walked in, especially since your people have been following us the whole way.

Yuan Jing immediately looked at his two subordinates.

The older subordinate immediately responded rationally: "Commander, we did follow them the whole way, and they didn't do anything out of line."

Yuan Jing quickly calmed down and realized that the argument made sense.

He had checked the two young men before and found nothing unusual.

If someone were to bring an evil object into the temple, he would be able to sense it the moment the person crossed the threshold, thanks to his power as a guardian deity.

"Click!"

Just then, the door of the Dharma Protector Hall shook and rattled again, and even the old door god stickers on the door trembled as if a corner of them had been lifted by the wind.

"not good!"

Yuan Jing's expression changed. Without further hesitation, he strode forward and reached out to press his hand against the door.

The instant his palm reached out, majestic golden runes appeared simultaneously on his forehead and palm, shaped like a jade ruyi lock.

"The extraordinary abilities of the door gods? The jade ruyi... it must be the civil door god."

Xu Lindong's gaze sharpened as he observed carefully.

Almost the instant Yuan Jing's hand touched the door, the shaking door seemed to be suppressed by a powerful force and immediately came to a standstill.

Even the slightly ajar door closed again, completely shutting out the overflowing chilling curse aura.

"Luckily, we discovered it in time! We probably won't need to activate the temple's formation; that would be very troublesome."

Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Xu Lindong, his expression softening slightly, and was about to apologize.

"Bang!"

A loud bang suddenly exploded.

The old door seemed to be violently struck by something inside, causing dust to flutter down from the worn wooden door and the door god images pasted on the door to be lifted up at two corners.

"puff!"

Caught off guard, Yuan Jing was struck as if by a terrifying force, spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and his five fingers pressed against the door quickly turned blue.

"Has the evil entity behind the door erupted?"

Xu Lindong's expression also changed drastically. He locked his gaze on the door and grabbed Yi Qianxun, pulling her back quickly.

"Commander!"

The two staff members gasped in shock.

"Everyone back off!"

Yuan Jing suddenly shouted angrily, his face extremely ugly.

He suddenly turned around, pressing his entire back against the violently shaking wooden door, and a powerful, extraordinary force erupted from his body.

The next moment, he quickly formed hand seals, and golden light burst forth from his eyes, eyebrows, and even his hair.

In an instant, he seemed to transform into a living door god, standing on the left and right of the door god statues on the other side of the door, together suppressing the constantly shaking door.

"Click!!"

In that instant, a pitch-black hand strangely tore open the wooden door, its sharp claws suddenly grabbing Yuan Jing's shoulder.

Yuan Jing let out a painful growl, as if sensing something, and suddenly shouted hoarsely at Xu Lindong, "The evil entity is outside the temple! Something is approaching, we absolutely cannot let them get in, they are one entity!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and his tone was extremely urgent, "I will activate the temple's formation immediately, you must leave now!"

Otherwise, once the formation is activated, it will suppress you all as foreign enemies.

"I have to deal with this thing behind the door with all my might, I can't worry about you guys now!"

"Watch out, Commander!"

Almost as soon as Yuan Jing finished speaking, his two subordinates, as if they had been prepared, turned around and quickly retreated out of the temple.

"Are there evil spirits outside?!"

Xu Lindong's expression changed drastically, and he grabbed Yi Qianxun's hand and quickly retreated.

He never expected that his trip to Qinglong Temple was only to find the ancient door god scroll. Although he had found it, he didn't even have time to examine it closely before he encountered such danger.

"Dongzi, what do we do now?"

Yi Qianxun tried to remain calm, but her palms were already sweating.

Just then, an invisible wave suddenly surged through the entire temple, and a low humming sound spread through the air.

Xu Lindong felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly, and faint golden patterns appeared between the pillars and corridors of the surrounding palaces.

That's the temple's formation being rapidly activated.

The previously dormant extraordinary field surged like a tide.

Layer upon layer of binding force emanated from the ground, eaves, and lintels, like some invisible giant net slowly tightening.

"Is this the power of the formation, artificially creating a sinkhole-like field?"

This formation should be set up by a powerful expert at the Humanity Sequence Six [Prefect] level.

Xu Lindong felt a chill run down his spine as he realized that the extraordinary power within his body was rapidly stagnating and losing its activity.

Even breathing felt like it was being constricted by some kind of heavy air pressure.

The formation is complete; to remain any longer would be to trap oneself in a cage.

The key issue is that if the evil entity behind the door were to break out, he couldn't guarantee his safety while he was without his supernatural powers.

Although there might be evil creatures outside the door, at least he still has superhuman strength to protect himself, and now the evil creatures behind the door seem to be even more ferocious.

"go out!"

He quickened his retreat, tightened his grip on Yi Qianxun's wrist, and rushed towards the temple gate.

Rumble!!

They had only run a short distance.

A muffled thud came from the direction of the Dharma Protector Hall behind them, accompanied by the lingering sound of Yuan Jing's low roar as he formed hand seals.

It was as if two unseen forces were fiercely vying for power inside and outside the door.

In that instant, Yuan Jing lost control of the formation's suppression of the temple's interior.

A powerful suppressive force spread rapidly.

"boom!"

A ring of fire snakes suddenly appeared around Xu Lindong's body, briefly breaking through the blockade of the array's power.

The two figures moved like arrows leaving a bow, tearing a faint gust of air through the gradually solidifying array field, and swiftly arrived at the temple gate.

Almost simultaneously, Xu Lindong heard the fluctuations of extraordinary forces colliding from the outside world.

He was startled.

"Are there extraordinary individuals fighting outside? And that aura..."

He grabbed Yi Qianxun and rushed out of the temple gate. In that instant, he saw a group of people fighting fiercely outside an unfinished building not far away.

One of the familiar, tall figures wielding a knife stood out with a particularly wild air.

"Captain Lu!?"
