"You mean the weapon?"
Ye Wantong's small face instantly turned crimson. She chuckled awkwardly and quickly turned her head away.
She had truly embarrassed herself this time.
She had thought Lin Xiaotian was asking about something she was wearing.
Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but stifle a laugh, thinking to himself that this girl knew quite a bit, even thinking of "weapon" in that context. It seemed she must have seen things she shouldn't have.
"Girl, be honest, what other terms do you know? Don't tell me you know everything you see on TV?" Lin Xiaotian asked curiously.
"What do I know?" Ye Wantong's eyes darted around as she feigned ignorance.
"You really don't know?"
Lin Xiaotian looked at her tentatively, then suddenly said, "Then how about you wear a uniform for me tonight?"
"Ah! You pervert, you really want to take advantage of me."
Ye Wantong immediately misunderstood Lin Xiaotian's meaning again, countless images flashing through her mind.
Lin Xiaotian looked at her with feigned innocence, shrugging his shoulders, "What did I do to you? I was talking about the uniform you wear for work. Where did your mind go?"
"What did you say?"
Ye Wantong's face flushed crimson once more.
Lin Xiaotian was now convinced that she indeed did improper things usually, perhaps even alone at home at night.
"Girl, I'm telling you, you'd better not overdo it with those things. Kidney deficiency isn't just a man's illness; women can suffer from it too. And the more you deplete yourself, the greater the opportunity for your enemies to scheme against you."
"Your current predicament was caused by your physical emptiness."
"Really?"
Ye Wantong looked at Lin Xiaotian curiously, thinking that she really needed to exercise some restraint from now on.
What was most infuriating was that such a private matter was now known to Lin Xiaotian. It was utterly embarrassing.
"Alright, focus on driving. I'm going to sleep for a bit. Wake me up when we arrive."
Lin Xiaotian, too lazy to explain further, leaned back in the car seat and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiaotian was woken up. The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was the entrance to Ye Wantong's company.
Getting out of the car, Lin Xiaotian followed Ye Wantong inside. They had barely taken a few steps into the company lobby when his footsteps suddenly stopped. He saw that the lobby was filled with a pervasive black, evil energy.
Ordinary people couldn't see it.
Ye Wantong looked back at Lin Xiaotian, who had stopped, and asked curiously, "Why aren't you walking anymore?"
"Girl, it seems the person who set this trap for you is a Feng Shui master."
"Not only did he set up a wealth-draining formation in your company, but he also wants your life."
Lin Xiaotian smiled calmly, casually took out a bronze compass from his person, and channeled some true energy into his palm, activating the compass. A Bagua diagram appeared in mid-air.
This was Ye Wantong's first time seeing Lin Xiaotian use true energy to activate a Bagua formation. She watched, stunned, and couldn't help but exclaim, "You scoundrel, you're quite capable. Is this formation helping me break the trap?"
"Not at all. I'm just trying to locate the weapon. Only by finding the weapon can we suppress the malevolent energy within this formation. Otherwise, all your company's employees will have problems within three days."
As Lin Xiaotian spoke, the compass needle suddenly pointed to the southeast. Looking at the Bagua diagram in mid-air, it also flashed with light in the southeast direction.
He quickly put away the compass, and after the Bagua diagram in mid-air disappeared, he pointed in that direction and said, "It's behind that stone pillar. Have someone search there, and you'll definitely find something unusual."
"Oh? Alright, I'll have someone look right away."
Ye Wantong didn't dare to hesitate. She immediately agreed and dispatched the company's security guards to search around the stone pillar.
Indeed, about ten minutes later, a security captain approached Ye Wantong, saying fearfully, "Ms. Ye, we... we found it. Behind that stone pillar, there's a Bagua bronze mirror embedded, and..."
"And what?" Ye Wantong asked curiously.
"And below the Bagua bronze mirror, there's a small cloth doll. The doll is completely covered in silver needles," the security guard said, trembling.
He had been in the company for so long, but he had never seen such a thing.
He had only seen such strange things on television before.
Hearing this, Ye Wantong's back chilled, and she hurriedly looked at Lin Xiaotian and asked, "Xiaotian, is that thing you mentioned these?"
"That's right. Quickly have someone take down the doll, soak it in black dog blood, and then burn it. That is the source of the malevolent energy in the entire hall. If it's not destroyed, the malevolent energy will enter everyone's bodies."
Lin Xiaotian never expected that someone would set up a Heavenly Fiend Yin Vein formation here. This formation used the Yin energy of the cloth doll to affect the luck of ordinary people, gradually stealing the Yang energy from their bodies to cause harm.
Ye Wantong didn't dare to delay. She immediately arranged for personnel to take down the cloth doll and prepare the black dog blood, proceeding step by step.
*Screech!*
Just as the subordinate she had sent out stepped onto the ladder to take down the cloth doll, the ladder suddenly slipped sideways. The person on the ladder lost their balance and, before they could even reach the doll, fell from mid-air.
"Oh no, someone fell!"
The security guards holding the ladder below shouted, and everyone panicked and fled, creating chaos at the scene.
Lin Xiaotian's brow furrowed. Seeing the accident, he rushed over with incredible speed. Just as the security guard was about to hit the ground, he swiftly caught him, thus averting disaster.
Ye Wantong also hurried over. Seeing the security guard saved by Lin Xiaotian, the tension in her heart finally eased a little.
However, the rescued security guard regained his senses. He took one look at the cloth doll on the wall and immediately jumped up as if possessed, scrambling around and shouting, "I don't dare anymore, don't kill me, don't chase me."
"Xiao Wang, what's wrong?"
The security captain stopped him, grabbed his clothes, and asked loudly.
But Xiao Wang seemed not to recognize anyone, continuing to repeat his earlier words, his arms flailing wildly at the surrounding black energy.
Others couldn't see it, but Lin Xiaotian saw everything.
He knew it was the malevolent spirit hidden within the cloth doll causing trouble. He immediately ran over, grabbed Xiao Wang's shoulder, and pressed two acupoints in quick succession. Xiao Wang suddenly fainted.
Following that, Lin Xiaotian performed a ritual on the spot, his hands moving rapidly, forming mudras. Streams of true energy spread out from his Dantian.
Wherever his fingers pointed, the malevolent spirits were instantly annihilated, turning into scattered dust.
In less than two minutes, the scattered malevolent energy in the sky was eradicated by him.
"Help him to the side first. I'll deal with that cloth doll."
After settling Xiao Wang, Lin Xiaotian personally went to the stone pillar and looked at the cloth doll in mid-air.
He curled his lips, wiped his nose, and said, "You little malevolent spirit, daring to be so arrogant in front of me. Do you really think I'm a sick cat just because I'm not showing my power?"
"Today, I'll let you know my might. Five Elements Luo Tian Formation, destroy!"
With that, Lin Xiaotian's hands moved in unison, and two streams of true energy swirled in mid-air. The moment they approached the cloth doll, they automatically transformed into a Five Elements diagram, spinning and operating!
A colossal, sky-reaching divine being, with its massive hand, reached out to grab the cloth doll.
