Shi Lang gave the people some pills and left the spot with Tong Bai. He did not even look at the people, because in his mind, the spirit lock talisman was stuck like a thorn in his throat. He frowned and thought about it.


    Tong Bai led him to the balcony and asked, "What are you thinking about?"


    Shi Lang replied, "A way to disable the spirit lock talisman."


    Tong Bai shook her head and said, "That is the special skill of the Situ Family. No one even knows how the consciousness properly works. Let alone stopping it."


    Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Is the intelligence of the people so low?"


    Tong Bai asked, "What do you mean?"


    Shi Lang shrugged as he replied in a tone as if stating the obvious, "Well, the talisman carries a mix ofws of soul and aws of spirit. That is why it can effect everyone."


    Tong Bai was surprised but then she nodded and asked, "Is that all?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "It is simr to Dao Law Sacrifice. The talisman master infuses his Dao Laws in the talisman and when it is activated, it acts like a Dao Law Sacrifice, which locks onto the spiritual consciousness of the person. That is why there is no way to wake up until the effect of the Talisman wears off."


    Tong Bai looked at him with wide eyes and remarked, "I did not know you would be this smart after spending the second life in the lower realms." Find more to read at empire


    Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "You should try living in the lower realm, you will be shocked by how much it changed."


    Tong Bai did notment and they had good tea.


    ...


    On the other side, the news that Shi Lang beat up the people of the Situ family even though they used the spirit lock talisman spread around like a wild fire.


    In the Situ Family, the elders were all standing in the infirmary. They saw the youngsters of the family, the talent they took pride in were beaten till their spirits were shattered. The family head of the Situ Family, Situ Tian Hu stood with his fists clenched and his eyes brimming with mes of rage. However, it did not show on his visage.


    He said, "Call Little Merry, this man cannot be allowed to live."


    The people were surprised and Situ Xueyin said, "Family Head, Xiao Shan made a Dao Oath that the elders will not meddle in this affair. He is the most promising junior of the younger generation. If his oath is disturbed it would be a great loss for the family."


    Situ Tian Hu frowned and clenched his fist as he yelled, "Fucking, bastard!"


    Then he left the ce to vent his anger. Situ Xueyin looked at the grand elder and shook her head as she said, "Grand Elder, what do you think we should do in this issue?"


    Situ Tang red at her and said, "Elder Xueyin, you do not have to try these tricks with me. I know how to handle this issue and I will do just that."


    Then he also left the infirmary. Situ Xueyin looked outside the window and then at the young people before she mumbled, "I hope you can see this through, or it would be a disappointment."


    ...


    Shi Lang spent the day thinking about things and then he said, "Well, Xiao Tong, I will leave tomorrow to go and ept a few tasks at the Hunter Association."


    Tong Bai nodded and said, "Bring Ye Lia along with you, she is a silver level hunter and you can teach her a few things for me."


    Shi Lang nodded as he did not mind teaching Ye Lia anything. Shi Lang looked at Lou Shin and said, "Instructor Lou, what ns do you have?''


    Lou Shin was surprised and asked, "What do you mean by ns? I have the duty to protect you."


    Shi Lang smiled and ced his hand under his cheek as he said, "You are so adorable. Even my disciple, Xiao Mei might be outdone by you."


    Lou Shin red at him and Shi Lang said, "Can you face against the bunch of people like I faced in the morning?"


    Lou Shin was about to say something when a voice sounded in the atmosphere, "Xiao Lang, are you acting cocky?"


    While thedies were confused, Shi Lang stood up from the chair and replied, "No, Teacher Yao."


    Shi Lang looked at Tong Bai and said, "My teacher is here, let her in, Xiao Tong."


    Tong Bai nodded and waved her hand to remove the barriers around the house and then Lady Yao appeared in the balcony. Lou Shin was surprised and stood up to greet her and said, "Greetings, Elder Yao."


    Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, howe you are here?"


    Lady Yao nced at him coldly and said, "Master told me toe and relieve Xiao Lou."


    Shi Lang nodded and Lady Yao turned to greet Tong Bai as she said, "I apologize for arriving unannounced."


    Tong Bai shook her head and said, "It has been a long time since my home had so much activity."


    Tong Bai said, "Please have a seat, Ye Lia, make some tea for Fellow Daoist Yao."


    Ye Lia nodded and Tong Bai looked at Shi Lang, who was standing at the side with a calm face. Lady Yao asked, "What are you thinking about Xiao Lang?"


    Shi Lang replied, "I am thinking of a way to counter the spirit lock talisman."


    Lady Yao looked at him and asked, "What have you done?"


    Lou Shin stepped up and exined everything in great detail. Shi Lang scratched the back of his head and said, "They started it, why are you making me look like a viin?"


    Lady Yao took a deep breath and said, "It is not easy for you to deal with it. The Dao Law sacrifice is a tricky technique."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, ma''am. I do know that, I have a good experience of using this technique so I shall try toe up with a counter."


    ...


    The next morning, Lou Shin left to seek her own opportunities in the cultivation world, and Shi Lang said, "Xiao Tong, we are leaving, don''t miss us."


    Tong Bai rolled her eyes and said, "Just look after my daughter, or you will regret it."


    Shi Lang gave her an okay signal and they both left with Lady Yao providing them security in secret. Lady Yao was a Dao Emperor and her strength was enough to provide Shi Lang cover and also to keep him in line.
