Chapter 308 A Xue Wu and A Big-Eyed Spirit 1

Zhuang Yuning added, “Besides, Xiaoying said Mr . Hu seldom appears in public . He only invited certain VIPs to the first floor . Lay people like us will not be invited . Big Brother Shaoyang, what are we going to do now?”

Ye Shaoyang leaned on the chair and pondered and said, “We shall discuss when we return to your house . ”

Then, he called Xie Yuqing and asked if she is free; he would like to meet her at Zhuang Yuning’s house to discuss a few matters . Xie Yuqing replied okay at once .

When the three of them were back at Zhuang Yuning’s villa, Zhuang Yuning gestured for them to rest at the couch while she went to the kitchen and made them tea .

When Ye Shaoyang raised his teacup near to his lips, he suddenly paused, puzzled .

“What happened? Zhuang Yuning sensed his odd behavior and hurriedly asked .

Ye Shaoyang put the teacup back on the table and pointed at the teacup, “Look what's inside . ”

Zhuang Yuning and Xiao Ma stepped up and stared into the cup .

“I can only see some tea leaves . Nothing else . There, that tea leaf looks like a snake, don't tell me it is something related to spirits? “

As Xiao Ma tried to insert his hand into the cup, but Ye Shaoyang slapped the back of his hand, “Don't be overly suspicious . Look for your reflection . ”

Zhuang Yuning drew a deep breath and raised her head in shock, “It isn't there!”

“What isn't there?” Xiao Ma focused again on the tea and looked for the reflection . Under the light, the tea surface reflected the ceiling and a dark shadow at one of the corners with faint glowing eyes . Xiao Ma was started . He quickly glanced over his shoulder and saw nothing . He looked back at the tea again and the shadow suddenly flew toward the window .

“Too late,” Ye Shaoyang smirked as he cast a copper coin to that corner .

The shadow cried; a few scarlet red feathers appeared and floated in thin air . Ye Shaoyang stepped up and tossed another copper coin in another direction . Again, another few feathers appeared and drifted down . After a few more times, he turned around and kept throwing copper coins in different directions, as if he was cornering something that did not exist .

“O' mighty Heaven and Earth, with the power of Yin Yang, destroy!” Ye Shaoyang initiated a hand seal and pointed in one direction . Raising his arm, a blood red creature appeared caught in his palm, struggling and flapping its wings as it shrieked .

It was a bird with bat’s wings, but it looked like an owl from its upper body . Its ferocious look stunned Xiao Ma and Zhuang Yuning .

Ye Shaoyang embedded the bird in between his two palms and recited, “Bring the Samadhi Heavenly Fire and burn this creature into ashes!”

Sky blue fire enclosed the bird at once . Seconds later, the blood red feathers were burned into ashes . Jets of blood oozed out and the body gradually wrinkled and shrunk . It shrieked relentlessly until Zhuang Yuning could not bear its high-pitched cry and covered her ears .

The struggles got weaker and weaker . Half a minute later, the bird was on its deathbed . Suddenly, its beak opened, and a black shadow shot out . The bird jerked and shrunk into a cherry-sized charcoal .

The black shadow attacked Ye Shaoyang right after it left the beak . He had no time to withdraw his hands for defense . In a moment of desperation, he bit his tongue tip and spat on the shadow . It roared and rolled to one corner, curling up and shivering .

With a gentle rub, the cherry sized charcoal turned into ashes . Ye Shaoyang cleaned his hands and the ashes dropped but disappeared before they touched the ground .

Ye Shaoyang heaved a sigh of relief . Pointing at the curled up shadow in the corner, he said, “I have damaged its spirit power . It can’t attack for now . Let’s check it out . ”

Knowing that the shadow would not attack, Xiao Ma grew bold and sped toward it . Zhuang Yuning hesitated for a moment before she decided to follow him . Both of them studied the shadow:

It was a monkey-like creature covered in black fur . In the contrast, it had a snout with teeth criss-crossing each other . A pair of ping-pong sized eyes protruded from its eye sockets . The eyes look like a house fly’s or a dragonfly’s compound eyes at first sight .

From the eyes, Xiao Ma and Zhuang Yuning could feel that the creature was terrifying when it looked at Ye Shaoyang .

“What is this? And what was that bird?” Xiao Ma asked in astonishment .

Ye Shaoyang opened his palm and a black origami crane laid in his palm, “This was the bird . ”

“An origami crane?” Xiao Ma felt that this was unbelievable .

“Yup, an origami crane,” Ye Shaoyang raised his head and glanced at the monkey-like creature, “Stay still . ” After he spoke, he looked back at the origami crane, unfolded it, and took out three glowing, scarlet red feathers . His brows crumpled up, “Extraordinary! Three XXX’s feathers, and they could transform into a creature . What a powerful sorcerer!”

Zhuang Yuning asked in lower voice, “What do you mean?”

Ye Shaoyang showed the three feathers and explained, “A Xue Wu is a bird demon in Underworld that can make itself invisible . Its feathers have a certain power that allow a few of them to transform into an imaginary Xue Wu .

Although the imaginary Xue Wu has limited power, it can still turn into invisible, even sorcerers cannot detect its presence, including me . However, every power has its weak point . Birds are usually afraid of water, and so is the Xue Wu . Hence, it cannot stay invisible underwater . I was lucky to spot it through the reflection of the tea . If not, we were going to get into big trouble . ”

“Why was it here? To sneak attack you?” Xiao Ma asked .

“It is too weak to attack me,” as Ye Shaoyang answered, he pouted his lips toward the monkey-like creature, “It is this creature that stayed inside the Xue Wu so that the Xue Wu could prevent me from detecting its presence . ”

“What is this creature then? Such giant eyes as though it has hyperthyroidism . ”

Ye Shaoyang replied, “It is a Big-Eyed Spirit from the Underworld . But this spirit will not attack and is very timid . The only special power it has is the eye of clairvoyance . Certain sorcerers who cultivate evil paths will use their blood to form a connection with the Big-Eyed Spirit and look into the spirits vision . To make it simple, the sorcerers use them as a portable CCTV; to help them keeping a close watch of someone . ”
