Chapter 23: Miao Village Secret Art

  As Luo Man walked with a swaggering gait, the audience under the stage remained silent. It wasn't until he reached Yang and his friends that the people around them erupted into thunderous applause, cheering for Luo Man's brilliant performance. The melody of the dance was like a net king jumping.

  Luò Mǎn seems to have not anticipated that his performance would gain everyone's recognition, nor did he think he could defeat his opponent. He forced a smile and said: "Ah, I actually won."

  "Yes, you won! I didn't think you'd actually win. You're so amazing!" Yi Ling exclaimed in praise of Luo Man.

  "You won't laugh at me now, this match was almost lost, if not for the sudden feeling that his kung fu had a demonic nature, I wouldn't have been able to win him." Luo said with lingering fear.

  "I also saw that his kung fu indeed has some problems, but I don't understand why his kung fu has a demonic nature, yet his heart is still so calm. It seems like we need to pay more attention to him." Yang nodded and said.

  "After you said that, it seems to be the case. Anyway, I feel like everyone in Lingjue Temple is a bit strange, but can't quite put my finger on it." Luo Man heard Yang Guo say this and also discovered this problem.

  "For now, let's not worry about that. Brother Luo, when we compete, you have to come watch me, I also want to advance." Yilin interrupted the two men's conversation and pulled Luo Man towards the sixth arena.

  Yang You stepped forward with a smile, walking towards the middle of the arena. Yang You's match was at Arena 2, while Murong Jing's match was at Arena 4, and they were not far apart, so they walked together to the front of the arena.

  Two people were walking towards the stage when they met Nan Gong Ao Yun and others who had just finished the competition. Yang stopped in his tracks and asked Nan Gong Ao Yun, "Did you win?"

  Nangong Ao Yun slightly nodded, which was considered a response. Yang Guo saw this and said to him: "Yi Ling is competing at the sixth arena, go take a look."

  "No, I'll stay here and watch your match." Nangong Ao Yun shook his head and said coldly: "Your opponent is a disciple of Miao Village, I want to see what secret skills Miao Village has."

  "Alright, I'll go with Jiang You to watch Yiling's match then." Li Lian was surprised that Nan Gong Ao Yun unexpectedly didn't want to watch Yiling's match, but still followed Jiang You towards the sixth arena.

  The three people who stayed in the original place chatted about the game just now. When Yang said that the people of Lingjue Temple were strange, Nangong Ao's eyebrows frowned, but he didn't say anything. The second match was about to start soon, and Yang and Murong Xiang went to their respective arenas for the competition.

  Yang had just walked to the bottom of the second ring when a young man wearing strange clothing and with a headscarf wrapped around his head was already standing on top of the ring, quietly waiting for Yang's arrival. Seeing this, Yang lightly jumped up onto the ring.

  "In the lower village of Miao, Feidi." Seeing Yang Guo coming up, Feidi said with a bow.

  "In the lower Shu Mountain, I made Brother Fei wait for a long time." Yang Guo bowed and said.

  "Now that Yang has arrived, let's begin." Fei Di said as he retreated several zhang back, his breath expanding outward, preparing for battle.

  Yang looked at the disciple of Miao Village in front of him, although his cultivation was only at the fourth layer of spiritual power, a full three layers below his own. However, he didn't dare to be careless. Miao Village was far away from the Central Plains, located in the remote Yunnan-Guizhou region, and was extremely mysterious. Yang's spirit was on high alert, and with his right hand, he made an inviting gesture: "Fei brother, please."

  Feidi didn't hesitate either. His left hand reached into his chest, and his right hand touched his waist. In an instant, he had a cloth doll and a silver needle in his hands.

  Fei Yi Da held the silver needle and muttered: "Shu Shan Yang, return to your original position! Su Su, return to your rightful place!" As she spoke, her right hand moved swiftly and precisely, pointing the needle at a specific point on Bu Yu's head.

  Yang had already felt something was off when Feydi called out his name, and he hastily circulated his Qi to defend himself. Unfortunately, it was too late, and he only felt a shock in his mind, followed by a dizzying sensation that swept over his brain. Yang was no ordinary person, however, and he quickly circulated his spiritual energy through the meridians in his body for one complete cycle, causing the dizzying sensation to disappear immediately.

  When Yang raised his head to look at Fei Di, he was standing ten zhang away, giving him a faintly sinister smile. This sinister smile made Yang's scalp feel numb, and he hastily drew out the Ice Fire Twin Extremes Sword.

  Just as he was about to use the Three Realms Sword Technique, Fei Yi Di on the opposite side had already chanted a spell: "Witch God appears, Yang Guo returns quickly, seal!"

  Just as the word "seal" had just come out, Feidi's right hand pinched the silver needle and stabbed it into the puppet's body. Yang only felt that the spiritual power on his body was sealed, and his body couldn't move at all.

  He couldn't have imagined that Miao Village's secret technique was so formidable, actually able to seal a mid-level cultivator's spiritual energy and body. However, Fei Di didn't give him time for more thoughts, only seeing Fei Di's right hand index finger pointing at Yang Guo slightly, a sharp air column flew towards Yang Guo.

  At this moment, Yang's spiritual power was sealed, his body couldn't move, and all his defensive techniques had disappeared. Just as the air column was about to hit him, Yang shouted: "Sword Spirit Protect Me!"

  Huǒ Líng swiftly emerged from the Ice and Fire Twin Extreme Swords, blocking the air column in front of Yang.

  Feidi saw the situation, her right index finger fired several air columns at Yang, but her body flashed instantly, flashing around Yang's surroundings, taking advantage of the flaws outside Yang's body to achieve an attacking effect.

  However, he overlooked the fact that Huo Ling's true form was a nine-tailed spirit fox, which was originally known for its agility. After absorbing the essence of the three flavors of true fire, its attack power had greatly increased. Huo Ling faced the incoming air column and spat out a flame containing the three flavors of true fire from his mouth, directly shattering those several air columns.

  Outside Yang's body, Huo Ling moved quickly, not giving Fei Di any chance to intervene. Meanwhile, at the center of the battle between Huo Ling and Fei Di, Yang was rapidly thinking of a way to break through this strange seal. The meridians in his body had not been damaged, and the Dan Tian acupoint had not been sealed off, but he just couldn't use his spiritual energy, and his body couldn't move at all.

  Logically speaking, the body has not been damaged and cannot move, it is not a functional problem, but the spirit has been damaged. Yang suddenly realized that what Feidi sealed was not his own body, but a part of his own primordial spirit.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh at the mystery and power of Miao Village's secret technique, which could seal a person's primordial spirit and make that person unaware.

  Yang couldn't help but sigh in admiration as he watched Faye's increasingly sharp peripheral attacks, and he knew he had to think of a way to recover quickly.

  As for his Yuan Shen being attacked, Yang didn't have any experience to speak of, he could only try to break through the sealed part of his Yuan Shen in order to regain control over his body.

  He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on his brain, where the primordial spirit was located, also the most vulnerable place in the human body.

  Yang had never encountered an attack on his divine soul before, so he hadn't defended his brain and divine soul. This time, encountering Miao Village's secret technique reminded him to put some effort into defending his divine soul and brain.

  Yang's consciousness entered his brain, only to find a small part of it was black. He was all too familiar with this situation. Over the past few years, he had entered his brain countless times, and each time he saw this dark place, but he couldn't break through because this dark place represented his memories before the age of ten.

  Yang swiftly swept through the black area and arrived at the middle of his brain, where there was a cluster of red gas, which was his primordial spirit. At this moment, Yang discovered that on the surface of this cluster of gas, a small part was covered by some black Sanskrit characters. Every time the red gas tried to break through the Sanskrit characters, the Sanskrit characters would shine brightly with a dark light, suppressing the resistance of the primordial spirit.

  Yang only knew that these Sanskrit words were the root of sealing his spiritual power and physical body. To restore his spiritual power, he must break through the ban on this part of Sanskrit words.

  Just as Yang was about to break through the seal with his eyes closed, Feidi launched a crazy attack from the outside, all of which were blocked by Huo Ling. However, Feidi was after all human, and his wisdom was not something that Jiuweiling could match. Under his repeated temptation, Huo Ling slowly began to show loopholes, and the situation was not optimistic.

  The audience below saw Yang, however, closing his eyes and not moving, letting the sword spirit resist the opponent's attack. They were dissatisfied with his arrogant behavior and were also surprised. Only Coldly standing on the stage below, Nangong Ao Yun knew that Yang might have been affected by Miao Village's witchcraft from the beginning, leading to his current predicament.

  Yang didn't know what people outside thought, he just wanted to get rid of the ban as soon as possible. Yang infused his consciousness into Yuanshen, controlling Yuanshen and resisting those black Sanskrit characters. With conscious control, Yuanshen's resistance increased significantly, but every time it was about to break the ban, the black Sanskrit characters would shine brightly, suppressing Yang's resistance.

  Yang didn't overdo it, sending out a part of his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation outside his body. He found that it was indeed Fidi who was controlling those black Sanskrit characters. Through his spiritual consciousness, he ordered Huo Ling to launch an all-out attack on Fidi, not giving him any spare time to hinder himself from breaking the seal. Huo Ling received the order and immediately launched a fierce attack on Fidi.

  Feydi was caught off guard by the sudden attack of Huo Ling, who had always been defensive. With Huo Ling's agile body and the powerful Three Flavors True Fire, Feydi could only dodge left and right for the time being. Yang Guo's spiritual sense also felt that Feydi no longer had the ability to suppress his resistance, so he controlled his primordial spirit with his spiritual sense to rotate and increase his counterattack against the black Sanskrit characters.

  Under the rapid rotation of Yuanshen, the centrifugal force of the Sanskrit characters on the surface rapidly expanded, and Yang took the opportunity to concentrate his strength to expel these Sanskrit characters.

  Faydi, dodging the Flame Spirit's attack on the periphery, discovered Yang Wenhao's actions and shouted in anger. She quickly released over a dozen air columns with both hands to avoid the Flame Spirit's attack. Then, she took out a cloth puppet and a silver needle from her bosom, intending to control Yang Wenhao once again.

  "The witch god appears, Yang is unable to quickly return to his position, he's trapped!"
