Shi Lang gave the people some pills and left the spot with Tong Bai. He did not even look at the people, because in his mind, the spirit lock talisman was stuck like a thorn in his throat. He frowned and thought about it.
Tong Bai led him to the balcony and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Shi Lang replied, "A way to disable the spirit lock talisman."
Tong Bai shook her head and said, "That is the special skill of the Situ Family. No one even knows how the consciousness properly works. Let alone stopping it."
Shi Lang raised his brow and asked, "Is the intelligence of the people so low?"
Tong Bai asked, "What do you mean?"
Shi Lang shrugged as he replied in a tone as if stating the obvious, "Well, the talisman carries a mix of laws of soul and a laws of spirit. That is why it can effect everyone."
Tong Bai was surprised but then she nodded and asked, "Is that all?"
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "It is similar to Dao Law Sacrifice. The talisman master infuses his Dao Laws in the talisman and when it is activated, it acts like a Dao Law Sacrifice, which locks onto the spiritual consciousness of the person. That is why there is no way to wake up until the effect of the Talisman wears off."
Tong Bai looked at him with wide eyes and remarked, "I did not know you would become this smart after spending the second life in the lower realms." Find more to read at empire
Shi Lang rolled his eyes and said, "You should try living in the lower realm, you will be shocked by how much it changed."
Tong Bai did not comment and they had good tea.
...
On the other side, the news that Shi Lang beat up the people of the Situ family even though they used the spirit lock talisman spread around like a wild fire.
In the Situ Family, the elders were all standing in the infirmary. They saw the youngsters of the family, the talent they took pride in were beaten till their spirits were shattered. The family head of the Situ Family, Situ Tian Hu stood with his fists clenched and his eyes brimming with flames of rage. However, it did not show on his visage.
Tong Bai nodded and waved her hand to remove the barriers around the house and then Lady Yao appeared in the balcony. Lou Shin was surprised and stood up to greet her and said, "Greetings, Elder Yao."
Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, how come you are here?"
Lady Yao glanced at him coldly and said, "Master told me to come and relieve Xiao Lou."
Shi Lang nodded and Lady Yao turned to greet Tong Bai as she said, "I apologize for arriving unannounced."
Tong Bai shook her head and said, "It has been a long time since my home had so much activity."
Tong Bai said, "Please have a seat, Ye Lia, make some tea for Fellow Daoist Yao."
Ye Lia nodded and Tong Bai looked at Shi Lang, who was standing at the side with a calm face. Lady Yao asked, "What are you thinking about Xiao Lang?"
Shi Lang replied, "I am thinking of a way to counter the spirit lock talisman."
Lady Yao looked at him and asked, "What have you done?"
Lou Shin stepped up and explained everything in great detail. Shi Lang scratched the back of his head and said, "They started it, why are you making me look like a villain?"
Lady Yao took a deep breath and said, "It is not easy for you to deal with it. The Dao Law sacrifice is a tricky technique."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am. I do know that, I have a good experience of using this technique so I shall try to come up with a counter."
...
The next morning, Lou Shin left to seek her own opportunities in the cultivation world, and Shi Lang said, "Xiao Tong, we are leaving, don't miss us."
Tong Bai rolled her eyes and said, "Just look after my daughter, or you will regret it."
Shi Lang gave her an okay signal and they both left with Lady Yao providing them security in secret. Lady Yao was a Dao Emperor and her strength was enough to provide Shi Lang cover and also to keep him in line.
