The Rebirth Mantra Delivers the Evil Infants
Lin Yu concealed himself among the clouds, scanning the temple with his Divine Sense to gain a clear understanding of the situation inside.
Six members of the Fire Lotus Society, armed with knives, were patrolling the front yard. Each of them had a bloodstained short blade hanging from their waist, stained with the blood of many civilians.
In Lin Yu's eyes, there seemed to be wronged spirits wailing behind them.
Then Lin Yu transformed into a gentle breeze and silently flew into the temple.
The Fire Lotus Society members, who were chatting idly, suddenly felt a dizzying sensation and lost consciousness.
Looking at the group of decapitated beasts, Lin Yu felt that killing them in this way was an act of mercy.
So he captured the souls of these little people and had them devoured by that "evil god".
The evil god chewed and devoured their souls bit by bit, like eating cookies.
Afterwards, Lin Yu went to the side room in the backyard. As he entered the backyard, the sound of a woman crying gradually reached his ears.
Lin Yu followed the sound of crying and pushed open the wooden door of the side room. A smell mixed with blood and evil wafted out, causing his brows to furrow abruptly.
Inside the room, four pregnant women were chained to a corner, their wrists raw and bleeding, their swollen bellies rising and falling with their breath, their eyes filled with despair. They had been tortured to the point that their eyes had lost their luster, and they were nothing more than puppets.
On the other side were some stillborn infants, their chests hollowed out, carelessly discarded on the ground.
On the wooden table in the center of the room were more than a dozen small jars, their mouths stained with dark red blood, and each jar containing half a jar of viscous, dark red liquid.
Lin Yu's gaze pierced through the jar, revealing inside to be the heart's blood of those infants.
Three members of the Fire Lotus Society, dressed in kimonos, sat around a table, using a severed finger dipped in blood to write Japanese scriptures crookedly on blood-stained paper.
One of them looked up and caught sight of Lin Yu. His eyes widened, and he slammed his fist on the table, standing up abruptly and cursing in vulgar Japanese: "You bastard! How did you get in here? Where are the guards?!"
The other two also turned their heads and saw that Lin Yu had a dignified demeanor, unlike those refugees who could be easily manipulated.
But they remained arrogant, believing that the temple was the territory of the Fire Lotus Society and no one could cause trouble there.
Even if Lin Yu couldn't understand Japanese, anyone could tell from their ferocious expressions how filthy their insults were.
Lin Yu, too lazy to waste words, joined two fingers together like a sword and slashed at the person who was cursing the most from a distance.
A pale golden blade flashed past in an instant. The little man didn't even see what happened before he was cut in half at the waist. Blood splattered all over the table, and the scriptures on the table were instantly soaked.
The remaining two people's expressions changed drastically, only then realizing that Lin Yu was a cultivator!
They dared not be negligent, and with a flick of their finger, they summoned several streams of black energy that rushed straight towards Lin Yu's face.
Another person pulled out a scripture and lit it. The scripture transformed into a ghostly blue flame, which swirled around the black mist and attacked, attempting to trap Lin Yu with evil magic.
But these tricks were like child's play to Lin Yu. He raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and all the black energy and ghost fire were drawn into his palm by an invisible force.
With a pinch of his five fingers, a soft "hiss" was heard, and the evil creatures all turned into black smoke and vanished without leaving a trace.
Seeing how easily Lin Yu handled the situation, the two men's pupils shrank instantly, somewhat incredulous.
Perhaps they were used to being arrogant and couldn't stand Lin Yu's contemptuous gaze. After a short while, they all drew their samurai swords, wanting to fight Lin Yu hand-to-hand.
The two men brandished their sharp, gleaming katana, slashing at Lin Yu's forehead and neck respectively.
Seeing that Lin Yu did not dodge, their eyes turned bloodthirsty, as if they could already see Lin Yu's head being chopped off.
There was a "ding!" sound.
Two katanas had already landed on Lin Yu's body, but there was no scene of blood splattering as they had imagined when they were cut into flesh.
The sensation was more like striking a hard rock.
The immense force of the recoil made their hands go numb.
These two stubborn fools, unwilling to accept their fate, wanted to wield their swords again.
But this time, Lin Yu blocked it with just two index fingers. Facing the chaotic sword swings, Lin Yu moved his two fingers quickly and blocked them one by one.
Seeing this, the two completely panicked. Was this boy even human? They quickly retreated, grabbed the scriptures and scrolls on the table, and threw them at Lin Yu.
The scrolls unfurled in the air, and the scarlet scriptures instantly emitted thick black mist, which gradually condensed into demons.
It was only the size of a palm, yet it was shrouded in black mist, its small face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and it emitted a shrill, mournful cry.
Lin Yu looked at the evil spirits that surrounded him; they were filled with resentment.
They are all the souls of those babies.
These infants, whose heart's blood was taken before they were even born, harbored such deep resentment that they could not be reincarnated. In the end, they were refined into scriptures by the Fire Lotus Society and turned into weapons of murder.
The two members of the Fire Lotus Society grinned smugly as they saw the black mist trapping Lin Yu, as if they could already see Lin Yu being torn apart by vengeful spirits.
But the next second, their smiles froze on their faces.
Lin Yu did not attack the wronged spirit. Instead, a pale golden Spiritual Power surged around him, and a warm yin-yang energy spread out, enveloping the entire room.
These babies reminded Lin Yu of the spirit infants in the mortuary; they were essentially the same, all being the souls of infants.
But those in the mortuary were lucky enough to meet Uncle Nine, who spared them from these misfortunes and prevented them from becoming possessed by demons.
Lin Yu closed his eyes and slowly recited the "Supreme Edict Divine Rebirth Deliverance Mantra," the chanting dispelling the evil spirits in the room.
"By the Supreme Decree, your lonely soul transcends, all ghosts and demons, and all living beings receive grace..."
As the incantation was chanted, golden light fell upon these evil spirits.
At first, the little spirits struggled and roared, but gradually, their ferocious expressions softened, and the black aura entwined around them melted and dissipated little by little, like ice and snow meeting the sun.
Finally, each little soul became clear and transparent, with a bewildered smile on its face, and let out a clear, childlike laugh towards Lin Yu.
Then, enveloped by a gentle force of Yin and Yang, it slowly rose into the air and eventually disappeared, heading towards reincarnation.
Those members of the Fire Lotus Society had long been permeated and integrated with the evil energy within their bodies.
The moment the golden light touched them, it exploded with a "sizzling" sound, like hot oil being mixed with water.
The two men screamed and fell to the ground, their bodies turning grayish-black at a visible speed, their skin cracking and emitting plumes of black smoke.
In a short while, they turned into a pool of black ash, leaving not even bones behind.
The dark aura inside the room was purified by Lin Yu's golden light and completely dissipated, leaving only warm golden light.
The pregnant women in the corner were also enveloped by Lin Yu's radiance, and they felt this warmth.
Their eyes gradually regained their focus, and as they looked at the scene before them, they were first stunned, and then some of them couldn't help but burst into tears.
