But Team Leader Chen shook his head with a solemn expression. “I’ll go find the young master and contact that master.”

The temple was filled with an overwhelming demonic aura, and even with the multitude of talismans, they seemed to have little effect. The situation was far more severe than he had anticipated.

With his current level of cultivation, he had no means of resolving it on his own.

Upon hearing this, Director Han anxiously glanced outside. “Is it still possible to find that master now?”

“There shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve met that master before, and they’re currently in Luo City,” Team Leader Chen replied.

That was also why he dared to come alone. Even if he couldn’t resolve the issue, there were people he could rely on.

He quickly dialed a number on his phone, but it was immediately hung up, indicating that the person was busy.

Team Leader Chen had to resort to sending a text message, briefly explaining the urgent situation.

Suddenly, the talismans on the wall trembled vigorously without any wind, and one of them even fell off the wall.

Director Han immediately looked nervously at Team Leader Chen. “Team

Leader Chen, should you and Master Jiuhua try to handle it together? I’m afraid the situation will worsen if we delay any longer.”

Team Leader Chen shook his head. “If we don’t have absolute confidence, taking action now will only backfire and may even trigger a stronger counterattack.”

Master Jiuhua was undoubtedly powerful, but ever since witnessing the might of the Mountain God summoned by Lord Fu, he held complete faith in her!

Team Leader Chen’s phone vibrated, and he looked down. “Just wait a bit longer. The young master said he’s contacting that master.”

Before he finished speaking, the sound of a ringing phone echoed in the hall.

Everyone turned their heads towards the source of the sound.

Director Han wore an expression of displeasure. “Mr. Lin, you should leave with your so-called master for now. Otherwise, if something happens later, we won’t have the spare energy to protect…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Team Leader Chen’s eyes widened, and he hurriedly stepped forward, excitedly grabbing Lu Miao’s hand.

“Master Lu, so you’re here.”

Lu Miao had been sitting in a corner and hadn’t noticed his arrival.

Director Han was taken aback. What’s going on?

Seeing Team Leader Chen’s excited expression, could this young girl be the highly acclaimed master he had mentioned, even revered by Lord Fu?

But how could that be possible?

She… she was clearly just a teenage high school student.

He spoke with a hint of disbelief, “Team Leader Chen, is she the master you mentioned?”

Team Leader Chen nodded eagerly. ‘Master Lu is here. Why didn’t you say so earlier? With her here, we can definitely resolve the problem.”

Lu Miao shook hands with Team Leader Chen and then answered the call. “Understood, I’m here.”

After hanging up, she placed the book back into her bag and looked up at

Director Han. She spoke calmly, “Now, can you explain the situation?”

Director Han felt his face burning. He had underestimated Lu Miao earlier and almost drove her away. Now, he had to rely on her.

With a flushed face, he apologized, ‘Master Lu, I’m sorry. I was hasty in my judgment earlier, questioning you without knowing anything. I apologize to you.”

Meanwhile, the talismans on the wall shook more and more violently, as if something wanted to break free from the seal.

Lu Miao formed hand seals, and a seal composed of yellow light instantly appeared in front of her. She then struck it towards the entrance of the hall.

The trembling talismans on the wall immediately ceased their motion.

Director Han and Deputy Director Ding had only seen talismans drawn on paper and were dumbfounded by this display. Even Master Jiuhua, who had been meditating on the other side, had opened his eyes without their notice. Lu Miao asked directly, “What did the City God Temple suppress?”

“Nine evil spirits,” Director Han replied.

“Nine?” Lu Miao furrowed her brow slightly.

Director Han’s expression turned serious. “This City God Temple has a history of over a thousand years. It’s said that each generation of temple masters had suppressed evil spirits beneath the temple. I don’t know the specifics, but based on the information we currently have from the Bureau, it seems to be the case.”

Lu Miao turned to him. “If it has been fine all these years, why did it suddenly become a problem this time?”

Director Han hesitated and reluctantly explained, “Thirty years ago, at that time, when Luo City was rapidly developing, the higher-ups took an interest in this land of the City God Temple and wanted to turn it into a commercial center. Despite everyone’s advice, they hastily held a ritual and started construction. The construction directly destroyed the formation that suppressed the demons beneath the temple, causing three evil spirits to escape. All the people involved in the construction died on the spot, and in the following days, several decision -makers had accidents. Mysterious disappearances of ordinary residents occurred throughout Luo City. Their remains were later found in different places, reduced to bones. To avoid causing panic among the residents, news of their deaths and disappearances was forcefully suppressed. At that time, Master Xuan Cheng, the temple’s former master, joined forces with several masters and fought hard to capture and reseal those evil spirits. A few days later, Master Xuan Cheng and the other masters transcended life due to their injuries. However, the formation beneath the temple had already been damaged and couldn’t be repaired.”

Director HanLet out a sigh and turned to look at Priest Ling Xu, who was lying on the bed with closed eyes. “Since then, Ling Xu has taken over as the temple master, and for the past thirty years, he has been sitting in the temple, using his own life force to make up for the flaws in the formation and suppress the evil spirits below. Although this method has been effective, it has taken a toll on Ling Xu’s health day after day, without respite. In the past two years, as Ling Xu’s condition worsened, the started to stir again. Yesterday night, Ling Xu almost exhausted his vital energy to barely suppress them. If we don’t find a solution soon, the temple can only hold on for another day at most, or even less. Once the formation is broken, Luo City will be engulfed in disaster.”

In the end, this situation was caused by a planning decision thirty years ago. Their wrong decision led to the deaths of Master Xuan Cheng, several other masters, and many innocent people. It also resulted in Ling Xu sacrificing his life to protect the City God Temple for thirty years. Although he and Ling Xu were not from the same department, they still belonged to the higher-ups.

When it came down to it, they were all responsible, and thinking about it made Director Han feel ashamed and guilty.

Everyone in the hall fell into silence. Their mistake had led to such a tragic outcome, with so many innocent lives lost, and the calamity had continued until today. How could they just suppress the news and pretend it never happened?

Lu Miao walked to the bedside, reached out and took Priest Ling Xu’s wrist, feeling his pulse.

“What do you think?” Team Leader Chen asked..
