I Made The World Mutate

"Well? Village Chief Hao, are you at ease now?"

Having stuck the Dao talisman, Qing Yan turned around and looked at Village Chief Hao with a triumphant smile.

He was quite proud of his skill. The Maoshan Arts was known for dealing with Yin spirits. Qing Yan showed off his powers this time, setting up an awe-inspiring arrangement.

The spirit tablet on the altar table was completely bathed in the tranquil, thriving, and prosperous imagery released by the Dao talisman at this moment.

This scene naturally radiated an aura of good fortune, arresting and captivating everyone present.

Village Chief Hao could only stare, speechless for quite some time.

"Village Chief Hao, are you feeling better now?"

A self-satisfied Daoist Qing Yan asked him again.

Seeing the shocked expression on Village Chief Hao's face, Qing Yan felt immensely pleased with himself.

"This..."

Village Chief Hao didn't know how to respond.

Daoist Qing Yan's setup deeply shocked him. He was at a loss for words and couldn't even mention that he wanted to take away Old Man Xu's spirit tablet.

Not only that, from the spectacle Daoist Qing Yan arranged on the altar table, Village Chief Hao felt that if he died and such an arrangement was made before his spirit tablet, it would nourish his Yin spirit and ensure a prosperous reincarnation.

"Enough!"

Village Chief Hao didn't know what to say, but he did not ask for Old Man Xu's spirit tablet from Qing Yan anymore. He silently walked aside.

However, every few steps he would glance back at Qing Yan's altar table, his face filled with longing and envy.

Qing Yan's setup ensured that after death, the Yin spirit was nourished and would be reborn into a wealthy family.

This made Village Chief Hao, who came from a poor village, incredibly envious.

"Haha!"

Qing Yan, clearly aware of village chief Hao's thoughts, laughingly said to him: "Village Chief Hao, rest assured. As long as I slay the evil ghost and obtain the Peach Wood Sword."

"When the day comes for you to pass away, I will personally set up a similar arrangement in your ancestral hall to ensure your reincarnation into a rich and prosperous family to enjoy limitless wealth and honor."

"Ah!"

Village Chief Hao was taken aback. He was surprised that Qing Yan would make such a sudden declaration, but his face soon revealed ecstatic joy. He thanked Qing Yan profusely, "Thank you, Daoist Qing Yan, thank you!"

"It's a small matter, no need to be so formal!"

Qing Yan waved his hand carelessly, appearing smug, as if this was not a big deal for him.

Then, he glanced at Xiao Mu triumphantly with a hint of intimidation.

Xiao Mu silently shook his head and looked at Village Chief Hao.

Village Chief Hao was looking at Qing Yan, his face full of gratitude.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Mu sighed inwardly. Chief Hao apparently didn't realize the seriousness of the situation, as allowing the spirit tablet to be destroyed was the equivalent of murder.

The damage to Yin Virtue was unimaginable, and it was by no means something that could be healed by a mere superhuman like Qing Yan.

Some people commit evil deeds in the first half of their lives, even if they dedicate the rest of their lives to seeking redemption, they still couldn't escape retribution.

The logic was simple. If the murderer was pardoned, what about the victim?

Did they deserve to be killed?

That's why karma could be redeemed, but not resentment.

Old Lady Zhou and Old Man Zheng caused Xu's tragic death. Qing Yan helped them forget their sins, but could not resolve Xu's resentment no matter what.

However, he knew that trying to reason with Village Chief Hao was futile at this point. He had already been beguiled by Qing Yan's arts.

After thinking for a moment, he took his Peach Wood Sword and went out. After a while, he modified it and came back.

With the Peach Wood Sword in hand, Xiao Mu walked directly toward Qing Yan's altar table.

"What...what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Qing Yan immediately got nervous, staring at Xiao Mu with a gloomy face.

Xiao Mu suddenly walked towards his altar table. Qing Yan thought that Xiao Mu was going to cause destruction or forcibly seize his spirit tablet.

Consequently, a nervous Qing Yan hastily picked up the Peach Wood Sword and Bagua Mirror at once, adopting a stance to resist the enemy. He seemed ready to take on Xiao Mu if anything wrong happens.

"Mr. Mu, please don't make this difficult!"

Village Chief Hao obviously misunderstood Xiao Mu's intention and hurriedly dissuaded him.

Xiao Mu smiled, "Relax, relax! I mean no harm, just a little bit of arrangement is all."

Village Chief Hao's expression relaxed a bit.

However, Daoist Qing Yan was still vigilantly watching Xiao Mu, gripping the Peach Wood Sword and Bagua Mirror tight.

Xiao Mu clearly had no intention of seizing the spirit tablet, nor did he plan to disrupt Daoist Qing Yan's arrangement. He simply walked around Qing Yan's altar table, sketching on the ground with the Peach Wood Sword.

Dao Method Spiritual Energy surged out, laying out on the ground along with the sketches of the Peach Wood Sword.

With it, Xiao Mu set a trap formation, just around Qing Yan's altar table.

He had just mastered this trap formation, but its power seemed to be much stronger than the circle he had drawn outside the Zhao family's ancestral hall.

Soon, a trap formation was set up. Once the trap formation was established, the Dao Method Spiritual Energy completely vanished underground, completely invisible from the surface.

This is another difference between this Array and the golden circle that Xiao Mu had drawn outside the Zhao family's ancestral hall.

After the golden circle is drawn, the Dao Method Spiritual Energy would not hide. Anyone approaching would see the golden light on the ground.

But after the trap formation is set, it does not manifest, and can't be seen on the surface unless it is triggered.

This simplifies the situation when facing evil ghosts coming in from outside.

If it were a golden circle, the evil ghost would see it, and there is a high probability that it will choose not to enter. After all, any ghost would know it's a trap just by looking at it.

But the trap formation is different, the evil ghost can't see it, and if it carelessly walks in it will get trapped.

As for why Xiao Mu would set this trap around Qing Yan's altar table, on the one hand, it was to deal with the evil ghost and, on the other hand, to caution against Old Man Xu.

Since he couldn't rely on Qing Yan and Village Chief Hao, he had to make some extra arrangements.

"Hehe!"

After Xiao Mu finished making his arrangement, Daoist Qing Yan suddenly sneered. Although he didn't figure out what Xiao Mu was arranging, he had a hunch that Xiao Mu's formation might be harmful to him.

However, he who has countless methods and treasures, did not care. After sneering at Xiao Mu, he suddenly brought out a paper bridge, swept it with the duster, and then threw it into the air.

The paper bridge was also filled with spiritual energy. As soon as it was swept by the duster, it was activated.

Buzz!

Golden light flashed!

A paper bridge formed out of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air.

This paper bridge was an arch bridge, one end resting on Qing Yan's altar table and the other on the earth altar outside the temple.

"This is?"

Seeing this scene, Xiao Mu was first taken aback. After a closer look, he immediately guessed the origin of Qing Yan's paper bridge.

The Yin-Yang Bridge!

This is a bridge that only the Yin spirits can traverse.

Qing Yan set up this Yin-Yang bridge because he was worried that his previous arrangement might obstruct the evil ghost from approaching the altar table. Therefore, he built this Yin-Yang bridge to guide the evil ghost.

However, for the Yin spirits, the Yin-Yang bridge is a one-way street. It is a bridge to guide the evil ghost into the Netherworld. Entry is permitted, but exit is not. So, he didn't need to worry about the evil ghost entering and then escaping from the trap formation by the Yin-Yang bridge.

Xiao Mu shook his head slightly, thinking that Daoist Qing Yan was unduly suspicious.

Next, to Xiao Mu's surprise, Qing Yan actually took off a Vajra Bracelet from his wrist, shouted 'Quick', and threw it towards Xiao Mu's altar table.

The Vajra Bracelet enlarged and covered Xiao Mu's altar table.
