“Heaven Master Yun” Everyone was surprised, and then overjoyed, “Great! Heaven Master Yun is here! Longxing City is saved now!”

“He’s the best Mystic cultivator in the world indeed. No deviant ghosts can’t be solved by him.”

“I didn’t expect that I can actually see Heaven Master Yun. This trip is not wasted at all.”

“Hasn’t Heaven Master been hidden from the world since decades ago? Could he have come specially for Longxing City?”

Everyone was relieved, and they all went in front with faces full of excitement.

Even Yi Qing looked over with some curiosity. Only people with great merits could have the Light of Merit about their body. But this was the first time he saw one so bright. Even the Buddhist cultivators in the other small worlds couldn’t reach the level of thickness of merit that he had. Yet he was a cultivator. No, a Mystic cultivator, in the folds of this small world.

How many good deeds did one have to do to achieve such a thick Light of Merit? Yi Qing couldn’t help but feel a wave of admiration.

Yet that man in the middle, all covered in golden lights, merely smiled kindly at everyone, cupped his fist and said, “Fellow Daoists, Yun Heng has come late.”

Only then was everyone able to react. They returned the salute with extremely reverent expressions. Some even rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking that their eyes had mistaken. After a long while, that Sect master whose surname was Ying stepped forward. “Heaven Master Yun, have you come for these deviant ghosts?”

“Yes indeed!” Yun Heng nodded. “In my seclusion, I felt the concentration of Yin Qi around this area, that’s why I hurried here specially.” He turned to look at the several dried corpses upon the ground, and a bit of pity flashed in his eyes. “It seems that I’m one step too late after all, that I couldn’t save them.”

He raised his hand and produced a seal. With a wave of the whisk in his hand, a golden light swept towards the corpses on the ground. Immediately, the dried corpses changed into light spots and disappeared. He sang the Daoist sutra a few times, before he sighed and put down his hand.

With his reminder, everyone also remembered the peers who just died martyrs, and they fell silent immediately. Looks of sorrow showed in their eyes.

After a long while, Sect master Ying finally spoke. “Alas, Heaven Master has already tried your best. Should they be conscious in the underworld, they wouldn’t blame you. In any case, they died saving the world, and this was a fulfillment for them.” He sighed, then turned to look at the deviant ghosts covered by the golden light. His expression darkened. “We didn’t expect that the deviant ghosts that appeared this time was so huge in numbers. We are low in Dharmic powers and I’m afraid we can’t drive away all. Does Heaven Master have a way?”

Once he finished speaking, the crowd turned to look towards Yun Heng as well. In fact, everyone knew that so many deviant ghosts were beyond what they could manage. From the moment that they set eyes on them, they had been ready to die, so that they could delay them even temporarily. But Yun Heng was a Heaven Master, and with him here… they might actually be able to drive them away.

Yun Heng looked at the expectant people, his glabella wrinkled slightly, and the hands at the side of his body tightened. He said, “The deviant ghosts that came this time are indeed unprecedented in numbers. Even I can’t be confident of completely dispelling them.” He made a sigh and turned to look at the black crowd of deviant ghosts behind him. “I will try my best. Would you protect my Dharma?”

Everyone’s expression grew heavy as well. Even Heaven Master was not confident. This showed how severe the deviant ghosts’ situation was this time. Yet right now, the only way was to put in all they have to give it a try.

“This matter concerns all living beings in the world. Heaven Master Yun, you can freely try it. We will definitely do our best to protect your Dharma.”

“Okay!” Yun Heng nodded, before taking a step forward.
