The moment I revealed my identity and drew my talisman, the yellow weasels around were all stunned and gasping.
Perhaps they never expected it.
The leading old yellow weasel was even more shocked.
Without hesitation, I held the "Spirit Breaking Talisman" and shouted:
"Spirit talisman breaks through boundaries; hasten as the law commands, break!"
As the incantation was uttered, the clear spirit talisman in my hand exploded with a "boom," burning with a green light.
The talisman's power, like a tide, surged rapidly outwards.
And with the surge of the talisman's power, the demonic energy that had been lingering around was also dispersed by the talisman's might.
The ancient, ornate old house and wide courtyard around me instantly faded, like an ink wash painting, revealing their original appearance.
The flagstone path beneath my feet instantly turned into dark mountain rocks.
The red lanterns hanging high became clumps of pine resin torches.
Everything around reverted to the original state of the cave.
As for the performers on the high stage, they were all made of white paper.
The yellow weasels that had transformed into human form, except for a few, most of them reverted to their original forms one by one.
Yellow weasels standing on their hind legs.
Uncle Er and countless others in the corners watched this scene, utterly astonished, their mouths agape.
They looked at me in disbelief, looking at everything that had changed around them.
The old yellow weasel sitting in the main seat, in her luxurious clothes, also faded after the Qingling Talisman was cast, turning into a set of worn-out old clothes.
At this moment, her face had also turned into a fox's face.
It was clear that her cultivation was not enough to support her transformation into a true human form, but merely an illusion through sorcery, making her appear human to the naked eye.
She was entirely on a different level from the fox matriarch and the old yellow weasel I had encountered before.
In addition, the yellow weasel maiden beside me, dressed in red, her clothes also faded.
A red veil covered her head.
She wore old clothes that must have been many years old.
Not only were they worn and black, but many parts were torn, revealing her gray fur.
Her tail was also exposed.
A single Qingling Talisman revealed the true appearance of the entire demon lair.
It put every yellow weasel present on high alert.
They all looked at me ferociously, their auras menacing.
They let out low growls of "woo woo woo."
The leading old yellow weasel spoke fiercely:
"This old one misjudged. I never expected you to be a Taoist at such a young age."
"Hmph, enough of your nonsense.
Today is the death day for your nest of demons."
I said coldly, a glint of killing intent in my eyes.
This nest of demons had killed several villagers from our village.
If they were left alive, who knew how many more people they would harm.
Therefore, I decided to kill them all.
And the leading old yellow weasel would naturally not surrender meekly.
She let out a cold snort:
"Little Taoist, don't underestimate my Free and Unfettered Tower.
My children and grandchildren, tear him apart!"
As the old yellow weasel spoke, the yellow weasel maiden beside me, with the red veil over her head, tore off the veil.
She suddenly let out a roar and lunged at my neck with her fangs bared.
Uncle Er and Uncle Wu, seeing this, recoiled with a startled cry.
They kept shouting warnings:
"Be careful!"
"Zewa, be careful!"
At this moment, I had become their lifeline.
If anything happened to me, they would truly be beyond saving.
However, I had long been wary of this little demoness.
Moreover, my cultivation had already reached the middle stage of Qi Nascent.
Based on my assessment, this little demon's strength was only at the middle to late stage of Spiritual Spring.
She was the type of immature creature that had just begun to cultivate.
She couldn't even fully transform yet, and she wanted to harm me?
Seeing her bite towards me, I merely snorted.
With a swift movement, I grabbed her by the neck.
Rendering her unable to move.
"Aow, aow..."
The yellow weasel maiden struggled, her fox face filled with extreme fear.
"Daughter!"
The old yellow weasel exclaimed in shock.
The surrounding yellow weasels immediately pounced on me.
Holding the yellow weasel's neck, I circulated my true energy and twisted.
With a "crack," I snapped her neck.
Then, I violently smashed her into the pack of yellow weasels.
With a "bang," three yellow weasels were thrown to the ground.
The yellow weasel maiden on the ground let out a couple of "goo goo" sounds.
Her body flickered and emitted a green light.
From within the wide, old clothes, a yellow weasel with a broken neck emerged, blood still oozing from its mouth.
The old yellow weasel approached the yellow weasel, stroking it repeatedly with her claws, looking extremely sorrowful:
"Daughter, daughter..."
Meanwhile, dozens of yellow weasels desperately attacked me.
These yellow weasels were all imbued with demonic energy.
They were no longer ordinary yellow weasels; they had gained some intelligence.
However, their cultivation was ultimately not high.
Most of them had only opened their spiritual springs, with cultivation at the early to middle stage of Spiritual Spring.
Besides being able to bewilder ordinary people, they posed little threat to me, a Taoist whose cultivation had reached the middle stage of Qi Nascent.
With my true energy fully unleashed, it continuously transformed into Taoist energy.
With every punch and kick, I attacked the surrounding yellow weasels.
These yellow weasels cried out in pain as I struck them, and in moments, they lay dead on the ground.
But I knew that these little creatures were not the real threat.
The most powerful being here was the owner of this demon lair, that old yellow weasel...
