Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 67 - 48: Kill the Demon Path, Destroy the Yin Altar, Break the Sorcery!

Chapter 67: Chapter 48: Kill the Demon Path, Destroy the Yin Altar, Break the Sorcery!

In the chaotic stone forest.

Beneath the cliff cave.

Chen Jichuan pointed upwards and said to Ban Zhao beside him, "The person is just up there. Once you go in, don’t give him a chance. Strike with full force to kill him, then destroy the Yin Altar, and his sorcery will naturally break!"

Five Ghost Daoist himself is only Level 6.

Old Lady Ban, before she was harmed, was Level 7.

It seems like just a one-level difference.

But Chen Jichuan knew this was the gap between Postnatal and Innate, dark strength and transforming strength, observation and soul emergence.

Like a chasm.

And the reason Five Ghost Daoist was able to torment Old Lady Ban to such a pitiful state was because his sorcery was strange, hard to guard against and detect.

Also hidden in the dark, with enough time to arrange and cast.

Certainly formidable.

But once someone finds his hiding place, if he has no other backup plans, then in haste, he’s left to be massacred.

Chen Jichuan searched for the person’s traces.

The rest was left to Ban Zhao.

"Okay."

"I’ll go right now."

Hatred surged in Ban Zhao’s heart, and his killing intent soared. He leaped, using the peculiar stones for support, quickly flashing up to the cave entrance.

As soon as he appeared.

He immediately revealed his true form—

"Roar!"

Chen Jichuan was below, only hearing a tiger roar. Thousand-mile Eye saw Five Ghost Daoist in the cave in a fluster, opening his mouth but not managing to say anything before being torn in half by tiger claws.

With just one encounter.

Five Ghost Daoist died.

...

"Impressive!"

Chen Jichuan glanced around with his Thousand-mile Eye. It wasn’t the first time he saw a Level 7 in action, but witnessing Ban Zhao cleanly and swiftly kill Five Ghost Daoist was still surprising.

A Level 6 person.

In the Great Yann World, they are already top experts.

But in the Da Liang World, in front of Level 7 experts, they are still like fish on the chopping board, hard to resist.

"Level 6."

"Level 7."

"This lifetime, my goal is to cross this threshold, only then will I truly have the power to protect myself in reality."

Chen Jichuan had this thought.

He didn’t dwell on it.

He moved his feet and climbed up the cave as well.

Upon seeing Chen Jichuan.

In the cave, Ban Zhao transformed back into human form and came forward: "Master Chen, the demon path is dead."

"Well done."

Chen Jichuan praised.

He walked two steps inward and looked intently.

There, on the Yin Altar, Five Ghost Daoist was split in two, blood splattered all over the altar, viscera and intestines scattered everywhere, making one nauseous.

On one side, there was the Taoist who harmed from behind.

On the other, the fierce tiger charged from the front.

Two sides collided.

Confronting each other head-on.

Even if Ban Zhao only had the strength of Level 4 or Level 5, he might still have been able to kill Five Ghost Daoist, let alone a Level 7 against a Level 6.

This result, one might say, was expected.

Unafraid of bloodshed.

Chen Jichuan passed over Five Ghost Daoist’s corpse and looked at the Yin Altar.

This Yin Altar was divided into five parts, with numerous Yellow Talismans attached. Each part had a dead head, each one painted with the colors blue, red, white, black, and yellow, wrapped with shrouds of the corresponding colors, all topped with several Yellow Talismans.

In the east, south, west, north, and center.

Each part also had a Command Flag inserted.

They were respectively—

Eastern Green-faced Ghost Head Command Flag.

Southern Red-faced Ghost Head Command Flag. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Western White-faced Ghost Head Command Flag.

Northern Black-faced Ghost Head Command Flag.

Central Yellow-faced Ghost Head Command Flag.

They corresponded with the colors of the dead heads and the shrouds. Lightly swaying in the wind, they gave off an extremely eerie feeling.

"Master Chen."

"This Yin Altar—"

Ban Zhao wanted to destroy the Yin Altar, but seeing Chen Jichuan staring continuously, he hesitated.

"Leave the Yellow Talismans and Command Flags."

"Destroy everything else."

Chen Jichuan dared not touch the Command Flags, so he instructed Ban Zhao.

Having avenged his enemy, Ban Zhao had utmost trust in Chen Jichuan, without any doubt, he leaped and transformed into a fierce tiger—

Swipe swipe swipe!

His sharp claws danced wildly, in just a few moves, he tore apart the Yin Altar made of wooden stakes and yellow earth.

With the Yin Altar destroyed.

The suppression gone.

Wuuu wuuu wuuu!

The resentful ghosts and demons inside burst out, ready to rush toward Ban Zhao as smoke.

"Roar!"

Ban Zhao roared mightily.

Dispelling all the resentful ghosts and demons, the grayish smoke vanished, leaving the air clear and bright.

"Exorcism."

"Five Ghost Daoist must have taken advantage of Ban Zhao’s absence to possess Old Lady Ban’s body, otherwise, no ghost or demon could get close under Ban Zhao’s watch."

Chen Jichuan watched as Ban Zhao displayed his prowess, dispelling the ghostly fog.

After a while.

No further disturbances.

only then did he step forward, picking up a dead branch, rummaging through Five Ghost Daoist’s blood-drenched corpse.

Before long, he found five scrolls of scriptures. They were wrapped in cowhide, impervious to water and fire. Besides the scriptures, there was also a pouch of Yellow Talismans kept close to the body, and a human-faced bronze mirror hanging at the waist.

Chen Jichuan collected them all.

Under Ban Zhao’s protection, he also scoured the cave.

Discovering several materials and tools for talisman making, like ready-made vermillion, fine talisman pens, a few stacks of perfectly cut Yellow Paper, and some miscellaneous things.

Chen Jichuan, undiscriminating, packed them all up.

Seeing the cave was empty.

Only then did he follow the worried Ban Zhao, heading back towards Golden Wind Mountain.

...

Returning to the mountain, just arriving outside the house.

Ban Ya, hearing the commotion, came running out, surprised and joyful: "Just not long ago, five little ghosts emerged from mother’s body, all in a panic, and I swallowed them in one gulp!"

Saying this.

Ban Ya belched with satisfaction, unable to hide the joy on his face.

"It must be because me and Master Chen killed the demon path, destroyed the Yin Altar, and broke the sorcery!"

Ban Zhao, who had been anxious all the way, finally felt relieved upon hearing Ban Ya’s words, showing a joyful and elated expression. Without time to explain in detail, he hurriedly asked, "How’s mother?"

"She’s had some nourishing and calming elixir and fallen asleep again."

"But her spirit has improved a lot."

Ban Ya continued to grin, suddenly realizing, he knelt in front of Chen Jichuan with a thud: "Master Chen, your great kindness and virtue, Ban Ya will never forget!"

"Master Chen—"

Beside him, Ban Zhao also wanted to kneel.

If it weren’t for this righteous Master Chen from Baozhi Forest helping them, they brothers would have just watched their old mother get killed without knowing.

This kindness.

Is truly great.

"No!"

Chen Jichuan reacted quickly, reaching out to stop them. Ban Zhao, afraid of hurting people, dared not forcefully bow.

"You two are too formal."

"I just found the demon path’s whereabouts, it was Ban Zhao who killed the demon path, your actions mind weigh on me."

Chen Jichuan was holding Ban Zhao back with one hand, and aiding Ban Ya with the other, saying.

The two Ban brothers stood up.

Looking at Chen Jichuan, their hearts were still full of gratitude. They knew that Chen Jichuan made it sound easy, but finding the hidden demon path in the vast mountains was no easy task.

Thinking back.

Master Chen would disappear every so often, probably searching for the demon path’s whereabouts.

It took a whole year to find it.

The hardship was self-evident.

Thinking of this, the brothers exchanged a glance, filled with emotion again.

Chen Jichuan, unaware of the Ban brothers’ thoughts, feared they might get complacent, so he reminded: "It’s good news to have killed the demon path and broken the sorcery. But the old lady was possessed by a ghost, damaging her primordial qi. In the coming days, she should eat more qi and blood nourishing, and calming medicines. Until her primordial qi returns, she should not practice martial arts, or it will harm her."

Old Lady Ban is close to a hundred years old.

Based on her previous Daoist prowess, she might have lived to a hundred and twenty or even a hundred and fifty years, like the Innate and Transforming Strength experts.

But this ordeal lasted a year, severely damaging her primordial qi, making it unlikely for her to regain her strength, with only about ten years left at most.

But no matter what.

At least her life was saved.

"Thank you, Master Chen."

"We will definitely take care."

Ban Zhao’s face grew solemn, quickly giving thanks.

Chen Jichuan waved his hand.

He went inside to check Old Lady Ban’s pulse, wrote two prescriptions. Then, accompanied by Ban Ya, he returned to the county town.

This trip, killing the demon path, saving Old Lady Ban, was the biggest joy for the Ban brothers.

But for Chen Jichuan.

Killing the demon path.

Saving Old Lady Ban.

Including gaining the true friendship of the Ban brothers.

These were just side matters.

His biggest gain was the ’legacy’ hidden on Five Ghost Daoist’s body and in the cave!

Chen Jichuan was looking forward to it.

Upon parting with Ban Ya outside the city, he headed straight for Baozhi Forest in town.

He couldn’t wait any longer.
