The young man holding the compass was called Song Changming, the 28th generation disciple of Guiyuan Sect (T/N: Sometimes you may see Guiyuanmen instead because I may have overlooked it). He was quite intelligent and was good at formations. That was why the people at the imperial capital decided to let him have a look this time around.
People in Xuanmen (T/N: Metaphysics. I’ll use the words interchangeably. Xuanmen will be used when I’m referring to the metaphysics world) who have the slightest ability would be greatly respected by others. Guiyuan Sect also had standing within the imperial capital that was full of talent. Hence, he had always only been flattered. When had he ever been questioned like this? What’s more, it was done by a little girl. She babbled wildly and even dared say she had skills. She could not possibly be a liar at such a young age right?
He was unhappy and scolded, “Do you know what this place is? It’s not a place where you can deceive people. A little carelessness can kill you.” Just as he was talking, the compass needle in his hand began spinning around frantically. His face paled, and he took a few steps backwards while protecting Yang Fuguo.
“There’s something wrong with this place. You guys step back. I’ll go in and have a look.”
Yunyu did not really want to pay attention to him. She had to go back to harvest wheat after she was done with the business here. Otherwise, they would not be able to cope with the consumption of flour at the steamed bun shop.
She took out the talisman from her bag and held it in her hand so that she could deal with any sudden situations at any time. She opened her eyes and saw the evil energy that filled the air. The more she walked in, the stronger the evil energy was.
“Wait!” Song Changming was anxious, worried that the little girl in front of him would have an accident. He followed up with a compass, leaving Yang Fuguo and Yan Mingkun standing there with white faces. Even though they were ordinary people, just standing there made their scalps feel numb when they felt the wind blowing.
Yunyu naturally would not wait for him. She only had a limited time. She wanted to find the location with the strongest suffocation of evil energy to see what kind of formation it was.
This construction site was more than a few hundred acres in size, and the more you walked towards the foot of the mountain, the stronger the evil energy.
Song Changming had already caught up with Yunyu, and was still blaming her, “What are you doing here? Is this something you can play a prank with? You this little girl, what would you know? This place is very dangerous.” He has been practicing with his master for more than 10 years. At his current level, he could only feel the presence of qi and he could feel the evil energy around him. If he wanted to find the array’s eye (T/N: core of the array/ formation), he needed to rely on the compass. Now the compass was invalid, and he did not know what to do for a while.
Yunyu saw how uncomfortable he was being hit by the evil energy. Still want to follow in? She took a talisman and handed it to him. Song Changming took it and felt the weight of the evil energy dissipating immediately. With a weird expression on his face, he said, “Who is your master? He gave you so many talismans for you to come break the formation? In my opinion, this formation is a bit sinister. My compass has no effect here. Later we must find the position of the eye of the formation to break the array. Did you bring a compass? Without a compass, how will you find the eye of the formation?”
“So long-winded,” Yunyu frowned, “Don’t disturb me. I’m looking for it now.”
She must find a high vantage point to see what kind of formation this was.
Song Ziming was lectured by this juniors twice, and his face showed a little indignation. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid that this little girl would really be in danger.
The purpose of Guiyuan Sect was to exorcize evil spirits and save people.
Seeing that the little girl was still walking towards the mountain, Song Ziming could not help but ask, “Where are you going? Was this talisman drawn by your master? The effect is even better than what my master drew.”
Yunyu ignored him. The two walked for about 10 minutes, and finally reached the foot of the mountain. There was a lot of evil energy around here. Yunyu climbed the top of the mountain, and Song Ziming followed. He could not figure out what this little girl wanted to do. At her age, breaking this kind of array was almost impossible.
Was she planning on investigating the situation and reporting it to the elders at home? After all, going out with a stack of talismans in hand was considered a local tyrant in Xuanmen, right?
Song Ziming planned to follow along first. In case there was danger, he could help.
Yunyu quickly climbed up the hill. When she opened her eyes, her face changed greatly.
The position with the most intense evil energy was located in seven directions. Based on the various positions, this was the Seven Demon Soul Destroying Formation. This was an extremely sinister formation. It required a yin object or a woman’s fresh blood to be buried at the core of the formation. Of course, it was not that simple either. It also required one to know the technique of setting up the array, and the right location and time. Various factors such as the time, palace and people will affect the array. This formation was not only an evil poison that could destroy the souls trapped in it, if it was left unattended for a long time, it would also affect the surrounding towns and villages. It would absorb the surrounding spiritual energy and affect all living things around. Moreover, the dozens of hectares where the eye was located would also become a dead place where no human or animal could enter.
Song Ziming seemed to sense something and his face turned pale. He was fiddling with the compass that was spinning wildly in his hand, but it could not detect anything.
He looked at the girl beside him whose face was slowly sinking. After holding it in for a long time, he could not hold back, and asked, “Can you see what kind of formation this is?”

Yunyu glanced at him and said, “Seven Demon Soul Destroying Formation.”
“What?” Song Ziming’s face changed drastically, “Seven Demon Soul Destroying Formation? Are you mistaken? How could such a sinister formation exist in such a place?” Of course he knew what this formation meant, “Wait, how can you tell what kind of formation this is?” Without relying on anything, she was able to see what kind of formation it was. Only someone at his master’s level could do it.
Who is this little girl?
“You talk too much.” Yunyu turned around and went down the mountain.
Song Ziming asked, “Where are you going? That’s right, how can this kind of formation be solved by the two of us? I’ll call my master after we go down the mountain. I’ll ask him and my Eldest Senior Brother to come over. If it’s really the Seven Demon Soul Destroying Formation, it would require at least seven high-level practitioners to break the formation. It also needs to be reported to the government.”
Yunyu said, “I’m going to find some jade.” She had a way to break the formation, but she needed jade to make talismans. Jade was made of spiritual energy and it was the best to use it as a carrier.
Song Ziming immediately said, “Jade? I have it!” He came to break the formation, and he naturally knew that jade talismans were the best. Although he could not draw talismans, the jade had traces of spiritual energy. So, it could also also be used to break the formation. However, to use it to break the Seven Demons Soul Destroying Formation was impossible.
Yunyu paused and looked back at him, “Show me.” She found that although this man was 27 or 28 years old, he had a pure heart and talked a lot.
“What do you want with it?” Song Ziming took out a jade plaque from the cloth bag that was crossed diagonally. It was the size of a palm and was 5 millimeters thick. It was delicate and moist. It was a good piece of jade.
Yunyu took the jade plaque from him and asked again, “Are there any more?”
Song Ziming said strangely, “There are still more. What are you going to do?”
Yunyu rubbed the jade plaque in her hand, “Breaking the formation. One more day of this formation means more harm done to the surroundings. It needs to be resolved as soon as possible.” She did not want this formation to destroy the nearby towns and villages. Afterall, she had plans to make this place into a piece of paradise. She would not allow this formation to destroy her plans.
“You’re crazy!” Song Ziming was stunned. He looked at Yunyu as if she was an idiot, “Do you know how to break this formation? At least seven high-cultivation practitioners are needed to sit on the seven formation eyes and slowly purify them with their spiritual energy. It would take several days to break it down. With just you, how do you plan on breaking it?”
“Forcefully breaking it,” Yunyu felt that she still had the ability.
Song Ziming was about to laugh at her arrogance, “Who is your master? Actually producing such an ignorant disciple.”
Yunyu raised her head and asked, “Then, how long do you think it will take to find these seven high-cultivation practitioners? “
Song Ziming froze. Including his master, there are only two or three famed masters in the capital. There are quite a few other Feng Shui masters, but there were not enough masters with the ability to break this formation. Of course, there are many hidden experts in this world. But, if you want to find them and ask them for help, it would definitely take forever before that happens. If they waited until they had gathered the sufficient number of people, this palace may have already become a dead area.
He did not speak. Yunyu stretched out her hand towards him, saying “Give me the jade.”
Song Ziming hesitated but eventually took out six jade plaques from the cloth bag. He could not help but said, “Do you want to call your master to come over first?” Such a worldly expert may have other solutions.
“There is no master,” Yunyu took the jade plaques from him and said calmly, “My master has already passed away.”
Song Ziming stopped talking and let her take the jade .
Yunyu went up the mountain with the seven jade plaques in her arms. As she was walking, she thought about something halfway through. She turned around and asked, “This… Do you charge for this jade plaque? If you do, you can go to Yan Mingkun at the foot of the mountain to ask for it. He is the boss of this construction site.” The price of such jade was extremely high. A small piece would already cost hundreds of thousands. She had no money and could not afford it.
“No, no.” Song Ziming did not know whether to laugh or cry. He was sent from above, and the above will directly subsidize him.
Seeing that she turned around and left after hearing this, Song Ziming secretly scolded her for being heartless. He also followed her up the mountain. Still worried, he took out his mobile phone and wanted to call his master, but found that the signal was extremely poor. With a sad face, he put away his phone and muttered, “I won’t simply die here this way would I?”
Yun Yu said leisurely: “Don’t worry. I’ve read your face. There will be no accidents and you would have no problem living until 70 or 80 years old.”
Song Ziming was depressed and could not speak.
Yunyu had already memorized the positions of the eyes of the Seven Demons Soul Destroying Formation and soon arrived at the position of the first formation eye.
The Seven Demons Soul Destroying Formation was based on the Seven Stars Spirit Gathering Formation. Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang were the locations of the Seven Stars. Whether it was to create or destroy the formation, one must start from the beginning, and that was usually the Tianshu position.
There were numerous types of formations, and their factions were also different. One could use the five elements of yin and yang, the four elephants, the Bamen Dunjia, the nine palaces, and other constellations to break the formation.
Yunyu was very prepared to let Song Ziming make a fuss as she went to find the eye of the formation.
She sat down cross-legged. She put the backpack aside, took out the small shovel inside and started to dig. The strong evil energy at the eye of the formation seemed to be aware of her actions, and it rushed towards Yunyu. Song Ziming also felt the suffocating coldness coming from the ground. He tightly hugged the talisman given by Yunyu and his cloth bag which also contained the body protection artifacts given by his master.

Yunyu’s face was solemn. Holding a talisman between two fingers, she threw it towards the rushing evil energy, “Break!”
The evil energy instantly broke away and dissipated.
She continued to sit cross-legged and dig at the eye of the formation. When she dug to a depth of more than half a meter, a foul smell drifted over. Both of their faces changed. Song Ziming squatted beside her and said, “What is this thing?” He knew a little something about what was needed to make the core of these kinds of formations. He originally thought that it was a yin yang object, but now it seemed that it was not that at all.
Yunyu carefully swept away the soil on the object, revealing a wooden box with a yellow talisman on it. Yunyu recognized it. It was a Jusha talisman (T/N: 聚煞符 Jù shā fú – Evil energy gathering talisman).
Song Ziming said in a low voice, “This looks like a box made of locust wood.” Locust wood had yin properties.
T/N: What’s in the box?
- Bloody body parts
- Dirty/ evil treasure
- Dead animals
- Unidentifiable object
