My Scales Can Make Equivalent Exchange-Chapter 68 - Huang Family Ancestral Hall

“Thank you, Senior Brother Wang!” Zhang Zhiwen didn’t’ hesitate, immediately leaping onto the paper kite. From his behaviour, it seemed that he still has lingering fears about the experience just now.

As Wang Zijia’s mana fluctuated, the paper kite rose into the sky, flying towards their destination.

······

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at their destination, the outskirts of Huang Family Town, in the lands of Huang family.

“The purification array that needs to be garrisoned is there, in that hill depression,” Zhang Zhiwen sat on the paper kite and pointed towards a path for Wang Zijia.

“This place used to be the clan land of the Huang family. They used to be a small clan on the periphery like us. However, in recent years, they have completely declined and lost contact with their sect. It’s said that there aren’t any monks in this generation; they’ve become utter mortals.”

Driving the paper kite towards the depression, Wang Zijia listened to Zhang Zhiwen continue: “Because this town was the first to be affected in the disaster, and was the town most affected, and also it’s close to other towns that had incidents, so the Law Enforcement Team chose here.”

During their conversation, the two had reached the sky above the hill depression.

Looking down below, there was a valley in the center surrounded by three not-so-tall hills.

The valley was vast, but there weren’t many buildings in it. Besides a massive structure that looked like an ancestral hall, there were only two courtyards.

One was at the entrance of the valley; it was not large but had tranquil surroundings.

The other was in the center of the valley; it was very large with a huge area, likely consisting of dozens of rooms upon estimation.

The ancestral hall was situated at the deepest part of the valley and appeared imposing.

Wang Zijia and Zhang Zhiwen observed the buildings below while the inhabitants of Huang family, who were waiting for them in the group of buildings in the center of the valley, knelt down in unison and bowed under the direction of their clan leader.

Every one of them was ceaselessly chanting words of welcome to the exalted immortals.

Wang Zijia controlled the paper kite and descended.

The moment the paper kite landed, the mana inside Wang Zijia’s body became active. Feeling elated, he realized that the pollution this time was also due to demonic beings.

“The old man Huang Shouli gives his respectful welcome to the Immortal Elders who have graced our clan with their presence.”

“Respectful welcome to the Immortal Elders!”

“······”

The two individuals hopped off the paper kite and nodded slightly in return.

At this moment, at the bottom of the valley, a spiritual light shone from the ancestral hall. Apparently, it sensed their arrival and was guiding them to come over.

The two men thus ignored the clan of ordinary people and headed for the ancestral hall at the bottom of the depression.

“Why did they choose this place for the operation?” Wang Zijia, looking at the ancestral hall of the Huang family where the spiritual light was guiding them, wondered and asked out loud.

“Among all the places in Huang Family Town which have a bit of a relationship with our Sect, Huang Family was the only one. Even though they have declined, at least there is still a bit of residual prosperity,” explained Zhang Zhiwen as they walked:

“Furthermore, this place has a remnant protective array from the ancestral hall which they can barely use. Plus, some of the original arrangements in the Huang Family’s ancestral hall make it easier and save a lot of effort when setting up the purification array, so they chose this place.”

“Could the Huang family agree to this?” asked Wang Zijia. After all, if he didn’t remember wrong, the last time Wanyu City handled such a site, it wasn’t much better than Chaotic Burial Mounds.

“The current Huang Family, how could they refuse······” Zhang Zhiwen suddenly stopped speaking and changed his topic: “Anyway, it’s not a big deal, and there is no claim to bury the cleansed bodies here. Besides, this is a huge favor to them, something many ordinary families in the town cannot avail even if they beg.”

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the backyard of the ancestral hall.

Surprisingly, there were several graves here initially; the Law Enforcement Team didn’t disturb them. Instead, they built a conventional corpse purification array on a nearby vacant land. At the moment, there were dozens of bodies of victims from Huang Family Town piled in one corner of the array.

Feeling the active mana within his body, Wang Zijia felt a sense of anticipation.

As the two approached, they saw a young man wearing the outfit of an outer sect disciple like Wang Zijia. He was currently standing at the edge of the array, watching Wang Zijia and Zhang Zhiwen, who were floating over.

He was around twenty-five, with a mid-level disciple-level cultivation level. Being stuck on the threshold, a breakthrough seemed to be just around the corner. Judging by his cultivation, it looked like he was deliberately suppressing it, probably in order to refine his spells and runes.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Shou!”

“Greetings, Senior Brother Shou!”

Wang Zijia and Zhang Zhiwen arrived in front of the young man and greeted him.

“So it’s really a junior brother from our sect who accepted this garrison task?” Shou Xingye looked at Wang Zijia with an air of surprise.

Judging by his expression, he seemed to already be in the know about Wang Zijia’s basic information, including the fact that he was the prospective son-in-law of the Xiang family.

“Lacking the ability to join the Law Enforcement Team like you guys, hunting and exorcising demons everywhere, I have no choice but to pick up these menial tasks. It’s the least I can contribute.” Wang Zijia replied with an air of innocence. With his young face, the response came off as incredibly sincere.

Shou Xingye paused a moment and looked seriously at Wang Zijia then asked knowingly: “You’re recently admitted to the sect?”

“Yes!” Wang Zijia nodded.

“No wonder, youth is truly a blessing!” Shou Xingye exclaimed before diverting the topic: “Now that you’re here, I’ll leave this place to you.”

“This is a very basic Five Elements Frost Purification Array. There won’t be much need for you to operate it. You just need to wait until all the corpses are delivered here. When the array starts to operate at full power, you should guard it for about two sets of ten days. That should be enough to finish the task.”

“If there are occasional minor issues, there is some basic operation information about the array in the task details. You probably won’t need to use them. Besides, there is a broken protection array that can be used in this place······”

Shou Xingye explained swiftly to Wang Zijia for a moment, then turned around and left after handing over the task.

Looking at how hurried he seemed, it was likely that he was already on his way to eradicate demons and exorcise devils at the next site.
