Chapter 958: Chapter 462: A Matter of Life and Death

From her angle, she could see the couple looking at Alice Blythe with overflowing affection, the love of parents for their child reaching its peak at this moment.

This is a pair of parents who would do anything for their child...

Lawrence Winters silently wondered in his heart, thus becoming even more puzzled by the Blythes’ concealment of the situation.

He flashed his eyes slightly, quickly walked forward, came behind the Blythes, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Blythe, Mrs. Blythe, why stand at the door? Wouldn’t it be better to go inside and sit?"

Startled by his sudden voice, both Mr. Blythe and Mrs. Blythe jumped.

The two turned around abruptly, relieved only after seeing it was Lawrence Winters.

Mrs. Blythe patted her chest and said with a laugh, "Lawrence the Great Heavenly Master is really too mischievous..."

Lawrence Winters: "..."

This tone, as if an elder speaking to a junior, was a bit too much...

But he said nothing, only, "We’re just going in to have another look at Miss Blythe, let’s go in together."

Mr. Blythe, seeing that Lawrence Winters was alone, felt moved and said to Mrs. Blythe, "Let’s go in together, we can just consult Lawrence the Great Heavenly Master on a few private matters."

By saying this, he indicated that the situation coming up would not be broadcast live.

Lawrence Winters understood too and, after going inside, closed the door.

The drone hovering above them was also left outside the door.

It would be impossible for cameras to be installed in Alice Blythe’s bedroom.

Therefore, the director naturally switched the live broadcast camera to the Peony Group.

In the Peony Group, the four contestants started from the topic of "Exorcism" and thought about the situation of "Nightmare Town."

However, they were exorcising and did not need to find the medium of Nightmare Town.

As long as they let the medium of Nightmare Town become ineffective, it would be fine.

The few discussed what methods would be best for exorcism.

Daoist Zhou took out a small magic artifact.

This was a very ancient bronze axe with a Serene Flame Beast Cloud Map engraved on the axe face.

He triumphantly said, "My Serene Flame Beast Axe is a treasure for exorcism. After setting up a ’Purification and Earth-Safeing Array,’ it can expel all evil spirits!"

Daoist Wu then took out a Lu Ban ruler, smiling, said, "There’s no more powerful evil-suppressing item than the ruler of the master craftsman ancestor. I’ll measure around Miss Blythe’s vicinity with my Lu Ban ruler later. If there’s any evil presence, my ruler will alert us."

In Daoist Zheng’s hand was a small Inverted Golden Toad, saying, "My Inverted Golden Toad is made of pure gold, specially designed to increase blessings and lifespan. After the fellow Daoists expel evil, when Miss Blythe wakes up, I will use my ’Inverted Golden Toad’ to bless her."

Daoist Xu silently took out a copper lion seal from his backpack and said, "Lions are auspicious beasts. I noticed the scenery outside Miss Blythe’s window looks somewhat evil, and when you guys perform exorcisms, I will place this copper lion seal at her window to disperse any outside evil."

Daoist Zhou looked at his copper lion seal with envy, "These copper lion seals are at least two thousand years old, right? You’ve really got some powerful relics, we put all our stuff together and can’t compare to your pair of copper lion seals."

Daoist Xu smiled slightly, "These were inherited from my teacher; when the seals are present, the person exists; when the seals perish, the person perishes."

Initially, someone saw these copper lion seals and immediately had an urge to possess them.

But hearing Daoist Xu’s words, they had no choice but to abandon this thought.

Because although these copper lion seals are good, they are no match for human life.

If there was a magic artifact valuable beyond compare, then a human life wouldn’t mean much.

For some people, there’s no distinction between right and wrong, only whether it’s worth taking the risk.

The four of them all had magic artifacts in hand and chose to exorcise together, which was more suitable than everyone exorcising individually, because the effect would be doubled.

This required devising an array to allow them to function simultaneously.

The four also took out their tablets and agreed on performing the ritual at midnight.

Because that’s when evil is most rampant and noticeable.

They chose to perform the exorcism at that time, firstly because they are skilled and brave—wanting to demonstrate their abilities before the judges.

Secondly, the thicker the evil, the more intense the backlash during exorcism. The four of them teaming up felt confident nobody could oppose them, as long as their Evil Exorcism Array succeeded, the one who set up Nightmare Town would suffer significant backlash.

If that person was in the mansion, they might even catch the culprit.

That would be a perfect conclusion, and the opposite Peony team couldn’t catch up with them.

So what if there’s Mr. Zhuge?

So what if there’s the up-and-coming Heavenly Master Lawrence?
