Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Begone, Evil Spirits

"My master is here." Xu Dongxu’s face, previously gloomy, quickly broke into a smile. The Xu Family members are known for their good looks, but when this guy smiles, he seems no better than a stalk of dogtail grass in Lin Tian’s eyes.

Lin Tian glared angrily, "Stop smiling!"

Seeing Lin Tian’s angry look, Xu Dongxu felt quite pleased inside, which naturally made his smile even happier.

"Go ahead and laugh, soon you’ll have a reason to cry." Lin Tian snorted heavily, walked to the window, and opened it to look outside.

Whoosh~

Outside, a strange wind howled, messing up Lin Tian’s hair. The weapon racks in the yard and some flower beds had been toppled, but the bodhi plum tree trembled wildly, with few petals falling.

Lin Tian looked up at the sky again; it was already completely dark. The stars and moon were nowhere to be seen, and only the light could illuminate limited places.

Snap~

Suddenly, Lin Tian heard a sound from inside the house, followed by the light dimming, while the lights in other rooms remained bright.

What’s Xu Dongxu up to now? Why turn off the lights?

With doubt, Lin Tian turned around and saw a blurry silhouette still sitting on the bed.

Logically, if Xu Dongxu got up to turn off the light, Lin Tian would have certainly heard the movement, but he didn’t.

"I didn’t turn off the light."

Before Lin Tian could ask, Xu Dongxu spoke up. He was still smiling, revealing a row of bright white teeth, which stood out in the dark room.

"Not you?"

Xu Dongxu’s smile grew wider, "It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me, who do you think it could be?"

Even without him saying it, the answer was already obvious.

"Since you know I summoned these lost ghosts, you should also know what will happen after my master arrives." Xu Dongxu’s figure was hidden in the darkness, he continued: "Normal people can’t see ghosts with their naked eyes, but my eyes and the eyes of Nanhai are different. She was born with fox eyes, capable of captivating souls. My eyes are quite unique, no ghost can hide from me."

Lin Tian had never heard of this before. But what’s so great about being able to see ghosts? My eyes can even see through things!

Lin Tian tried his own x-ray vision, but unfortunately, he couldn’t see ghosts at all.

"In front of you, there are two female ghosts with no hair, pale faces without pupils, and several sinister-looking old men in mourning clothes. Behind you, there are several twenty-year-old youngsters, faces covered in blood, dressed in rags."

Xu Dongxu laughed and said, "These fellows are all wrongful death spirits, having experienced tragic lives and deaths. They bear great resentment against the world and refuse reincarnation, thus becoming wandering ghosts. Trouble one of them and you won’t find peace. With so many targeting you now, they could drive you insane!"

Sure enough, Lin Tian soon felt a chilling wind blowing from all directions, as if he’d fallen into an icy pit.

"Cold, are you? Normally, a person has three flames—one atop the head, and one on each shoulder. Now the flames on your head and left shoulder are extinguished, providing them with an opportunity. So many resentful ghosts might take a liking to your body and squeeze inside, pushing your three souls and seven spirits out."

Lin Tian’s brow furrowed deeper and deeper, knowing Xu Dongxu hadn’t lied because he felt the cold most on his head and shoulders, and those strange winds kept blowing at him, as if they really intended to squeeze into him.

But aside from frowning, Lin Tian remained calm, with no risk involved.

The Spiritual Qi began to flow within him as he silently recited the Heart Method of "Tyrant Emperor’s Record."

He took a step forward, eyes wide open, black hair flying, and shouted sharply: "Get lost!"

The regal aura was fully unleashed.

Boom~

An invisible force field burst from his body. Only Xu Dongxu could see; the once ferocious ghosts now retreated, standing three meters away, glaring at Lin Tian as if he were their prey.

In this world, there are three places ghosts dare not enter—a Buddhist hall, a Taoist temple, and a royal palace!

A Buddhist hall and Taoist temple are inherently restraining places for such evil entities. As for a palace, it houses the true dragon emperor, protected by divine spirits in the unseen realm; even without this protection, ghosts dare not provoke. Wandering ghosts already suffer greatly; they don’t wish to be scattered entirely.

The regal aura cultivated by the "Tyrant Emperor’s Record" is naturally the most potent method against such evil entities!

Sitting on the bed, Xu Dongxu’s expression changed again and again; he couldn’t bring himself to smile, instead, he displayed a sorrowful look.

Though he’d never seen a king, he could sense the domineering aura emanating from Lin Tian, making it difficult to look directly at him, even causing his breath to slow.

"These so-called wrongful death spirits aren’t very impressive, are they? What nonsense about my three flames being out—pure rubbish! My body feels warm and comfortable!"

Indeed, Lin Tian now felt a warm glow throughout his body, full of comfort. Even the chilling winds had halted.

Lin Tian’s face held a slight smile as he said, "Oh indeed, I recently visited the Five Pure Mountains, perused some Sutra of Ksitigarbha, Lengyan Sutra, and remembered a few passages. Seeing these wandering ghosts made me think they must be suffering, so why not offer them transcendence?"

"What?!" Xu Dongxu was stunned. This lad having such a peculiar aura was one thing, but he also knows how to chant Buddhist scriptures? If that’s true, it could be troublesome!

The wandering ghosts hiding in the room heard these words and began to retreat. From the person’s aura, it was evident he possessed substantial skill; the recited sutras might truly offer them transcendence!

Lin Tian ignored Xu Dongxu’s expression, raising his right hand before his chest as all his Spiritual Qi concentrated in his throat.

"I humbly bow to the original nature, the pure heart-ground..."

As Lin Tian spoke, the surging Spiritual Qi made the sutra resonate powerfully, vigorously spreading it to all sides.

All evil entities naturally avoided it!

Xu Dongxu’s face turned gloomy, his eyes fiercely fixed on Lin Tian, wishing to curse in anger.

These so-called wandering and wrongful death spirits, capable of causing ordinary people’s families to shatter and lives to fall into chaos, yet when it came to Lin Tian, they fled faster than anything!

Indeed, those wrongful death spirits previously targeting Lin Tian had already retreated three paces upon sensing the royal aura, and now upon hearing the powerful Sutra of Ksitigarbha infused with Spiritual Qi, they fled as far as possible, fearing that if Lin Tian suddenly became displeased, he’d disperse them entirely!
