Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 1665 - 1662: The Malignant Spirit Reveals Itself

The moment the words left her lips.

Ye Qiu suddenly realized her utterance was rather improper and couldn't help but playfully stick out her tongue. A delicate blush bloomed on her cheeks, her eyes reflecting a hint of regret and apprehension.

Yet, Xu Wendong appeared unfazed by her slip of the tongue. His demeanor remained composed, his voice steady as he stated, "The reason for the unfortunate calamity that befell your Ye family ultimately lies with an impious evil spirit residing within your home."

"The malevolent aura emanating from this spirit has already tainted your family's destiny. Once this evil entity is eradicated, your family's fortunes are bound to be reclaimed."

"This charm, known as the Evil-Dispelling Charm, holds extraordinary potency. No evil spirit in existence can evade its power; they shall be utterly annihilated."

In reality, the potency of the Evil-Dispelling Charm was not overwhelmingly strong.

But–

This particular Evil-Dispelling Charm was meticulously drawn by Xu Wendong using his own Essence Blood. As the possessor of the Ancient Sacred Body, he stands as the natural adversary to all evil spirits.

Engaging his blood to craft the Evil-Dispelling Charm represented a formidable fusion of power.

Despite harboring lingering doubts, Ye Qiu, observing Xu Wendong's unwavering confidence, refrained from voicing further questions.

She carefully accepted the talisman, treating it with the reverence due a precious artifact, her gaze brimming with awe and hopeful expectation. "Mister Xu, does this talisman truly possess such miraculous capabilities?"

Xu Wendong offered a slight nod. "Miss Ye, please be assured, this talisman is no common item. Upon its placement within your residence, the malevolent influence plaguing the Ye family will dissipate within a single day, and the bloody calamity will gradually recede."

Ye Qiu gently bit her lower lip. "Mister Xu, I do not question your skills, but this matter pertains to the very fate of my family, and I hope you can understand my concerns."

Xu Wendong gestured dismissively. "Let us first exchange contact information. You may depart now; should any unusual occurrences arise, inform me immediately."

Ye Qiu responded with a solemn nod, then exchanged contact details with Xu Wendong, left a check, and turned to depart.

Nearing the doorway, she paused, turning back to face Xu Wendong, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes. "Mister Xu, hypothetically speaking, had I agreed to have you draw the talisman upon my person yesterday, would you have inscribed such a rune?"

Xu Wendong smiled faintly. "Are there truly so many hypothetical scenarios in this world?"

Ye Qiu let out a silent sigh. Though Xu Wendong uttered few words, her heart understood clearly.

It was simply that.

As Xu Wendong himself had said, life rarely presents such hypothetical circumstances.

Subsequently, Ye Qiu departed with haste, clutching the talisman paper. Upon her return to the Ye family estate, she meticulously placed the talisman in the heart of the main hall, precisely as Xu Wendong had instructed.

All members of the Ye family congregated, their gazes fixed upon the talisman paper, which appeared undeniably ordinary yet emanated an inexplicable mystique. A medley of emotions swirled amongst them.

Ye Qiu's father furrowed his brow, his eyes clouded with skepticism. "Child, is this the talisman you expended a billion for? Can this single piece truly avert the Ye family's crisis?"

Ye Qiu's gaze was unwavering. "Father, Mister Xu is no ordinary individual; I place my trust in him."

"Do you not sense that this talisman seems to radiate a certain warmth?" Mr. Ye's voice suddenly interjected.

Upon hearing this.

The Ye family members all knitted their brows.

Had the elder not pointed it out, they might not have perceived anything amiss. However, after his remark, a collective realization dawned – the talisman before them was indeed emitting a gentle warmth, imparting a peculiar sense of comfort!

"Let us await the outcome; I have faith that Mister Xu's Evil-Dispelling Charm can indeed alter our Ye family's destiny!" Ye Qiu declared, her eyes resolute, her belief in Xu Wendong's capabilities absolute.

As twilight deepened, the Ye family mansion was enveloped in a darkness as thick as ink.

Heavy clouds obscured the heavens, stifling even the faintest moonlight, while the surrounding trees thrashed violently, battered by a ferocious gale.

Their branches contorted like demonic claws, relentlessly scratching against the windows, producing an unsettling, drawn-out creaking sound.

Within the mansion's corridors, dimly lit yellow lamps flickered erratically, appearing on the verge of extinguishing at any moment. Shadows danced upon the walls in sync with the unsteady light, coalescing into peculiar forms, as if myriad unseen eyes were observing from the darkness.

Ye Qiu occupied a chair near the living area, leaning slightly forward, her gaze fixed intently upon the talisman paper.

The surrounding chill seemed to intensify, and she could distinctly feel an icy sensation slowly creeping up from her feet, gradually permeating her entire being.

However, this moment of tranquility was short-lived, soon to be shattered.

An inexplicable cold wind gusted in, as if howling from the depths of the Nine Nether Hell itself, carrying a bone-chilling frigidity.

The living room curtains billowed violently in the wind, the lights flickering erratically and casting dancing shadows upon the walls, resembling spectral figures in motion.

Concurrently, the shadows in the room's corners seemed to stir with a life of their own, slowly undulating as if concealing countless observing eyes.

From the oppressive darkness, a faint, low wail emerged, suggesting an malevolent entity in its death throes or perhaps a sinister warning.

Within the silent mansion, the sound reverberated, chilling the very bone and raising the hair on one's neck.

The light emanating from the Evil-Dispelling Charm began to pulse intensely, much like agitated stars in the night sky, engaged in a desperate struggle against an overwhelming force.

Startled as if struck by a bolt of lightning, Ye Qiu jolted to her feet, her body trembling slightly as she intently watched the unfolding events.

The members of the Ye Family were also roused, converging on the living room from their respective chambers, their faces contorted with fear and apprehension, their eyes wide with terror of the unknown.

"What is occurring? Is the malevolent spirit still fighting back?" inquired Ye Qiu’s uncle, his voice quivering.

Ye Qiu pressed her lips together firmly, offering no reply, her gaze locked onto the talisman paper, her eyes reflecting an unyielding and resolute spirit.

At this precise moment.

A dark mist gradually materialized on the talisman paper, its tendrils resembling a demon's grasp, attempting to engulf the golden light. However, the golden light tenaciously fought back, creating a stalemate, a clash akin to divine good versus overwhelming evil on a cosmic battlefield.

As moments ticked by, the black mist thickened, spreading like an ink spill on water, threatening to consume the entire living room in its suffocating dark aura.

The temperature within the living room dropped precipitously, and everyone’s expelled breath transformed into plumes of white mist, as if they had been instantly transported to a frozen chamber.

Subtle tendrils of cold began to creep from the walls, coalescing into minuscule droplets that instantly solidified into razor-sharp ice blades, glinting menacingly in the dim illumination.

Just as despair began to settle upon them, the Evil-Dispelling Charm suddenly radiated a powerful golden light, a brilliance comparable to the first rays of dawn, instantly banishing the darkness from the living room.

Like a miniature sun igniting within the room, the radiant light possessed immense power, effortlessly annihilating the black mist as if it were mere smoke dispersed by the sun's piercing rays through the clouds.

Concurrently, a piercing, chilling scream echoed from beyond the confines of the Ye Family mansion······
