âUncle Master, how did it go?â
âYes, whatâs the situation inside?â
Seeing Randy Locke emerge unharmed, everyone immediately surrounded him and started bombarding him with questions.
Randy Lockeâs face was cold as he remained silent, pushing Bradley Ford away and walked up to Lukas Simon, saying, âMission accomplished, the malevolent spirits have been completely eliminated.â
Completely eliminated?
How is that possible?
Lukas Simon was instantly stunned, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowed as he stared intently at Randy Lockeâs face, feeling that something was off.
Having been stationed here for many years, he was acutely aware of how troublesome the malevolent spirits were.
Even he himself had been plagued by their attacks.
How could such a tenacious entity be so easily eradicated?
He looked up and saw the sky was still gray, but it seemed clearer than before.
Could it really have been cleared by him?
âSurely Master Randyâs reputation is well earned, capturing the malevolent spirits with such ease.â
âMaster Randy has worked hard.â
Troy Milton and the others didnât think too much of it, and upon hearing that the malevolent spirits had been eliminated, they were visibly pleased, although Randy Locke continued to maintain a stern face.
Bradley Ford was also feeling uncertain, he glanced at the cave and then asked, âUncle Master, why is the statue of Guan Gong brought out again?â
Randy Locke still expressionless, said, âThe malevolent spirits have been cleared, why leave it inside?â
âUh, okay then.â
Bradley Ford, finding his uncle masterâs demeanor rather strange, inquired, âUncle Master, are you all right?â
Randy Locke seemed to want to sneer, but only twitched the corner of his mouth before resuming his normal expression.
He scoffed, âHeh, a mere malevolent spirit, what harm can it do to me?â
Bradley Ford frowned and said, âSince nothingâs wrong, letâs head back first. Leave this place to Mr. Milton and the others to deal with.â
Troy Milton was more than happy for them to leave quickly so he could go and seek credit from Lukas Simon, âAlright then, you guys go on ahead. After I return, we can get together and have a proper catch-up.â
âHold on!â
Just then, Lukas Simon walked over and said indifferently, âAs the malevolent spirit has just been cleared, to prevent it from recurring, Master Randy should stay in the military camp for a couple of days.â
Bradley Fordâs face slightly changed and his eyes pleaded for help as he turned to look at Troy Milton.
Troy Milton hesitated, âThis⦠isnât that a bit inappropriate?â
Lukas Simonâs face grew colder, and he asked with a frown, âDo you have an objection?â
âAh, no⦠I have no objections, heh heh,â Troy Milton said with a sheepish smile.
Lukas Simon nodded and said, âSince there are no objections, then everyone should stay.â
âElijah Hall!â
âPresent.â
âArrange quarters for our guests.â
âYes, sir!â
The Guard Commander Elijah Hall came forward and said, âGentlemen, please this way!â
Troy Milton was dumbstruck. He had only come to lend a hand, and now it felt like he was being put under house arrest.
Both Simon Cooper and Trent Preston, as heads of their households and used to living in comfort, naturally didnât want to stay here.
But faced with dozens of armed soldiers, they followed the soldiers into the barracks.
Watching everyone obediently entering the barracks, Lukas Simon felt somewhat relieved. He turned back to look at the dark cavern entrance, a trace of worry once again crossing his face.
He had intended to keep Randy Locke and the others here to see if the malevolent spirit would recur. He didnât expect trouble to arise that very night.
First, several soldiers on patrol suddenly collapsed and started convulsing uncontrollably.
Then, even those soldiers who were sleeping in the barracks began showing the same symptoms.
Lukas Simon was shocked, at first thinking it was poisoning, but after the medics examined them, they found that the soldiersâ bodies were quite normal, except for their temperatures fluctuating.
âCommander, I just remembered something,â
the medic who was inspecting the soldiers suddenly looked up and said, âWhen we first came here to station, a few soldiers sought coolness and stayed in a cave for a night.
Later, those soldiers all fell seriously ill, with symptoms that seem exactly like the ones weâre seeing now.â
Hearing this, Lukas Simon also suddenly came to a realization and exclaimed, âAre you saying⦠the evil spirit hasnât been completely cleared?â
The medic gave a bitter smile and shook his head, saying, âIâm guessing itâs not that it hasnât been cleared completely, but rather it has become more serious. Otherwise, why else would the soldiers be getting sick?â
Lukas Simonâs expression immediately darkened as he said, âFirst, take good care of them; Iâll be right back.â
âYes!â
Lukas Simon, with a stormy expression, strode quickly to the barracks where Randy Locke was staying and kicked open the door, only to be momentarily stunned.
He saw Randy Locke convulsing just like the other soldiers, but his condition was even more severe; his body was completely contracted.
âBring me Troy Milton and the others,â he ordered.
âYes!â
Soon, several soldiers brought Troy Milton and the others over.
Troy Milton was asleep and still confused about what was happening when he saw Randy Locke on the bed; he was immediately startled.
âMaster Randy, whatâsâ¦â
Troy Milton looked shocked and turned back to Lukas Simon, âCommander Lukas, Master Randy, heâsâ¦â
âMaster Randy? Bullshit Master Randy!â
Lukas Simon roared, âNot only has the evil spirit outside not been cleared, it has become worse than before. How do you explain this?â
Troy Milton, looking at Randy Locke lying on the bed, couldnât help but feel shaky. Seeing Randy in such a condition, could it be true that the evil spirit had not been completely cleared?
He couldnât admit that, it would be like smearing shit on his own face.
He did not hesitate for a moment and asserted firmly, âImpossible, you also saw beforeâ¦â
âLook, you take a good look!â
Lukas Simon, enraged, didnât wait for Troy Milton to finish, and grabbing him by the collar, thrust his face close to Randy Lockeâs, shouting,
âTake a good look at him, see whatâs wrong with him! The evil spirit hasnât been removed, and instead, youâve made my soldiers like this. Even killing you wouldnât be satisfying enough!â
âThis⦠thisâ¦â
Looking at Randy Lockeâs pale and cyanotic face, Troy Milton dared not say more, fearful that one wrong word might lead Lukas Simon to drag him out and execute him.
Just then, Bradley Ford was brought in, and upon seeing the scene inside, he immediately sobered up. He rushed to Randy Lockeâs side to examine him closely.
âUncle Master, are you alright? Uncle Master?â
After calling out twice and getting no response, he quickly placed his fingers on Randy Lockeâs wrist.
He felt Randyâs wrist was ice cold, even carrying an oppressive chill. He instantly let go and took an involuntary step back.
âThis⦠is this the aura of the evil spirit?â
As a Feng Shui Master, Bradley Ford was rather familiar with all sorts of strange auras; hence, he recognized at a glance that Randy Locke had been afflicted by the evil spirit.
Hearing his words, Lukas Simonâs heart stirred. Disposing of Troy Milton to the side like trash, he asked,
âIs it caused by the evil spirit entering the body, and is there a way to solve it?â
âThis⦠we can only try,â
Bradley Ford hesitated for a moment, then took out a Qi Blood Pill from his bag and fed it to Randy Locke.
This Qi Blood Pill was one that Greg Jensen had previously concocted and given to him to save his life; he hadnât expected to use it so soon.
Bradley Ford pried open Randy Lockeâs clenched teeth and sent the Qi Blood Pill inside.
