Hearing Du Peiyun's words, Si Jiangchen just sneered.
Except for Lin Shuya, the members of the Wei family had all retreated outside the door.
Lin Shuya looked so terrifying that Wei Yuan couldn't help but think of the drug addicts he had seen abroad. There was a drug called "Crocodile" that would make people feel the desire to eat others like zombies, and their bodies would be covered in festering sores.
He just couldn't believe that his mother was a living dead!
He was dragged out by Feng Qianqian and Wei Wenzhao.
Wei Wenzhao only had this one son. He could live without a wife, but he couldn't let his family line die out!!
"Where do you think you can run?"
Du Peiyun's smile grew colder. He took out a small black-and-gold flag from his pocket and stabbed it into the ground right in the middle of the room.
The floor was paved with marble tiles, but the small bamboo flag went straight in.
"Men rule during the day, and ghosts roam at night. Yin and Yang are separated, each with its own jurisdiction. Those who violate my decrees will surely be punished."
Du Peiyun was actually using the Ghost Control Spell. That small flag of his should be the Soul Summoning Flag!
"Clang! Clang!"
Just when I thought countless invisible ghosts would come swarming from all directions, the closed doors in the small building suddenly burst open, and many hideous "people" rushed out!
The Taoist Su, whose spine had been broken by Si Jiangchen, was also among them, charging towards us!
Du Peiyun hadn't even officially joined the Religious Affairs Bureau, yet he was already raising corpses here?!
The corpse-driving technique of the Du family was supposed to keep the corpses lifelike. In other words, they were good at raising corpses.
Du Peiyun was from a side branch and couldn't learn the essence. So all the corpses he could control were festering and dripping yellow fluid, looking extremely disgusting!
"Aah!"
Among our group, except for Si Jiangchen and me who managed to stay calm, Wei Wenzhao, Wei Yuan, and Feng Qianqian, who had been following Wei Yuan, all let out screams.
Even Ji Chen, who was usually calm in any situation, turned pale with fright at those disgusting things and involuntarily moved closer to us.
"These inferior things of yours also want to harm people?" Si Jiangchen sneered.
"Inferior things are more than enough to deal with you!" Du Peiyun sneered sinisterly. "Before long, you'll be part of them!"
With that, he pointed with both hands and stomped his foot suddenly. The small flag rose up straight without any wind. The ragged corpses were urged on even more urgently, making all kinds of teeth-gritting noises and reaching the door in an instant.
At this moment, a series of shrill police sirens suddenly came from the street outside. The sound was coming straight towards the Religious Affairs Bureau.
Sun Liren had never seen such a corpse tide before. He was so scared that he kept backing away and huddled behind Du Peiyun, not daring to move.
"How could there really be policemen who dare to meddle in this matter?"
Du Peiyun was a bit confused as he listened to the approaching police cars. He asked Sun Liren behind him.
Sun Liren shook his head repeatedly. "Impossible! Who would be so bold to take this case? They don't want their jobs anymore!"
Even in the case of Lin Fangyu's tragic car accident, the police weren't allowed to handle it on the scene. It was the people from the Religious Affairs Bureau who claimed the body. Now that there was a problem within the bureau, it was even more impossible for outsiders to come and search at will.
The corpse tide had already rushed in, but I didn't see Si Jiangchen doing anything. He had a cleanliness fetish... Even if he had the ability to stop these things, he probably wouldn't want to do it!
But I was different!
Behind me were Ji Chen, Wei Yuan, and Feng Qianqian. Although Wei Wenzhao wasn't a good person, I couldn't just watch him be torn to pieces by the corpses.
"Heaven is bright and sunny, the sun rises in the east. By the power of this spell, all evil shall be swept away..."
As I quickly recited the spell in my mouth, I quickly made the Ghost Suppression Seal with my left hand and pointed it at the flag Du Peiyun had inserted in the room.
Although there were many corpses, they were all guided by this small flag. Without the flag, those corpses would be like ships at sea without satellite navigation and wouldn't pose much of a threat to us!
As the spell was uttered, the small black flag with gold patterns trembled twice and then suddenly burst into flames with a "boom". The sparks flew straight onto Du Peiyun, scaring him.
I was also shocked. I didn't expect my skills to have improved so much! I was actually able to break Du Peiyun's corpse-control formation instantly!!
Du Peiyun's face turned extremely ugly. He quickly drew a talisman in the air with his hand and slapped it on Lin Shuya's back. "Go!"
Lin Shuya, who had already regained consciousness, rolled her eyes upwards after being slapped like this and rushed towards us again.
"Your sister. You deal with her!" I shrank back.
I knew Si Jiangchen's feelings for Lin Shuya. Now that my magical power had improved to the point where I could destroy the flag, if I burned Lin Shuya to pieces like that small flag, I was afraid he would be angry with me!
Si Jiangchen let out a soft sigh. "After all these years, I've finally paid off my debt."
He put his arm around me with one hand and used the other to make the Corpse Suppression Seal and accurately point it at Lin Shuya's hideous face.
At the same time, the door behind us was suddenly kicked open, and a group of people rushed in.
"Hey? Why are you here?"
It wasn't the ragged corpses that came in, but Du Peilin, who used to accompany my grandfather to cheat people every day. Now he was in a uniform, looking completely different from his somewhat shady appearance in casual clothes!
However, the person he was asking wasn't me, but his fellow clansman Du Peiyun.
"You've come just in time! There are several troublemakers here who want to disrupt a government agency!"
Du Peiyun accused us first and pointed at us. "Arrest them!"
"The Soul Summoning Flag I just destroyed was also set up by them?"
As Du Peilin spoke, that half-smile expression instantly appeared on his face again. He didn't have much respect for his clan leader. I heard that Du Peilin had been taken in by the Qingwei Sect as a disciple since he was a child and had never lived in the Du family. He didn't have a sense of belonging to the Du family, nor did he have any affection for Du Peiyun.
He pointed at the ashes of the flag on the ground that were still emitting wisps of black smoke. "Those corpses outside seem to be the work of our Du family's technique too!"
"You!!"
Seeing that he couldn't hide anything from his fellow clansman, Du Peiyun rolled his eyes and stared at Du Peilin's uniform. He angrily questioned, "Where did you get that uniform? Did Si Jiangchen bribe you to act this play with me?!"
Du Peilin was a proper Taoist. How could he be wearing a police uniform?
"I'm the soon-to-be director of the Religious Affairs Bureau. Aren't you afraid of being arrested by real policemen for acting like a ghost here?"
Du Peiyun threatened.
Impersonating a policeman was a serious crime in China!
"Being soon-to-be doesn't count for much!"
Du Peilin grinned mischievously. He pointed at the badge on his head. "I'm the head of the Special Operations Department of the police station. I'm specifically in charge of paranormal events!"
With that, he pointed at the sky outside with two fingers.
Instantly, a thin bolt of lightning struck down, and the layer of black mist that had been covering the small building was torn to shreds without a trace.
