American Exorcism Male God

Late at night, Holy Flame Exorcism Studio.

Xu Yi appeared somewhat weary, as he had met with government personnel last night due to the "Evil God Ghost Samurai" incident and then immediately set off to find Alante for special training.

Don't get the wrong idea, it was an official training session, not the kind that happens in hotels.

The content of the training was swordsmanship, to better harness the combat power of the Ghost Samurai in the future, and he had already equipped the "Swordsmanship Grandmaster" entries.

[Swordsmanship Grandmaster, Current Progress: 11/100]

This was the result of half a day's special training, quite effective.

He arrived at the second-floor meeting room, where people had already been waiting for some time.

A desk lamp, four cups of strong coffee—Xu Yi went straight to an empty seat, picked up a coffee, and prepared to speak, "You are all people I trust the most, I have something important..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he was interrupted.

"Son, I'm just a common chef, I don't understand your matters either!" Xu Changrong sat directly opposite Xu Yi, shoulders drooping, his face expressing helplessness.

He was holed up in the Xu family restaurant in Chinatown, trying to develop new dishes, when suddenly Xu Yi dragged him here.

"Common chef? Are you sure a common chef would use a ghost hand to stir-fry?" Xu Yi stared at him intently.

"When I make stir-fried pork with green peppers, and run out of pork, I chop up the ghost hand instead. That's reasonable, right?" Xu Changrong pleaded innocently.

Xu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, the Dark Chef entries couldn't be more perfectly suited for him.

"In any case, I'm entrusting this to you!" Xu Yi didn't give Xu Changrong a chance to argue.

Xu Changrong obediently shut up. To his left was Lisa, and to his right, Maria—both, in his view, would be daughters-in-law of the Xu family in the future, and he couldn't lose face for the family.

"Don't worry, Dad, your task is the easiest. You just need to take care of New York area. I've already talked to the government people, you'll be acting together with them."

Xu Yi took out a metal box, opened it up to reveal neatly arranged syringes, with green liquid swirling inside.

The liquid itself was nothing special, but what mattered was the Soul Stealing Seed within, each syringe injected with twelve Soul Stealing Seeds.

He took out a notebook that recorded information on the murderous deviants, glanced at everyone, his gaze pausing slightly on Lisa and Maria.

"I need your help to find these murderers and inject them with the syringe before you kill them."

Of course, the murderous deviants weren't all in New York; according to records, a significant number of them were in other cities, and even other countries.

He could only ask Lisa and Maria for help with those.

"Remember one thing, try not to expose the existence of the syringes, even if destroyed, they cannot fall into others' hands!" Xu Yi repeated his caution.

These syringes contained the Soul Stealing Seeds, which, if they encountered a powerful being, such as some Great Exorcists, might be sensed.

That's why he needed to find trustworthy people.

The "Demon-Hunting" conference had just ended when Xu Yi received a phone call from Ed.

"We have found a way to enter the Land of Ceris, let's meet at Buffalo Airport tomorrow." Explore stories on empire

Xu Yi was taken aback, not expecting the action to come so quickly.

"I will arrive on time!"

Xu Yi didn't hesitate and immediately gave an affirmative response.

Most of the time, Ed exuded confidence, but at that moment, Xu Yi detected urgency in his words, surely something unexpected had occurred.

Xu Yi hung up the phone and drove through the night to a villa on the outskirts of Queens.

The surveillance staff around the villa had reduced significantly because the bizarre fluctuations that had been erupting occasionally had suddenly disappeared two days earlier.

The soldiers guarding it noticed Xu Yi, remained at their posts, but saluted from a distance, to which Xu Yi nodded in response.

Xu Yi returned to the underground chamber; the black moss had withered, and the surging evil aura had vanished.

This is a normal phenomenon; Different Spaces are mobile.

An exorcist who engaged in research once made an analogy: a Different Space is like an island drifting on a river, overlapping with the real world one moment and drifting away the next second.

The Necromantic Spells remained the same, and the cat spirit had not detected anyone approaching.

Xu Yi arrived at the spot where Ratma's rodent teeth had been, pushed aside the dried black moss on top, and with the Fog of Obscurity clinging to his fist, he struck the ground fiercely. The ground cracked open, revealing two rodent teeth inside.

The teeth felt heavy in his hand and carried a chill that could penetrate to the bone; if not for the protection of the Fog of Obscurity around his palms, his hands would have suffered frostbite.

A smile appeared on Xu Yi's face because Ratma's rodent teeth had been baptized!

To repair the Sacred Red Lotus, he already had a lead on "Heavenly Fire," which meant only the last condition, "Life Cleansing Blade Pool," was left!

Having taken Ratma's rodent teeth, Xu Yi hurriedly made his way to a warehouse in the distant suburbs without stopping.

The Bone of Nightmares could only be stored inside the Toy Treasure Box.

One could imagine that after entering the Land of Ceris, a fierce battle would surely await him; he must bring Annabelle along.

If the Bone of Nightmares were left without Annabelle's protection, he wouldn't feel at ease.

Moreover, the Blood Orchid was in the Land of Ceris; there might be a chance for the Bone of Nightmares to directly consume the Blood Orchid.

To address the issue of the Toy Space potion's effectiveness being compromised, he could only apply a high-concentration solution of the Leaf of Redemption on the Bone of Nightmares.

This would certainly lead to wastage of the Leaf of Redemption, necessitating the use of double the daily amount, that is, six Leaves of Redemption; but there was no other way.

All night, Xu Yi was busy preparing—weapons, food, and various tools that might be needed.

......

In Buffalo, this city near New York, Xu Yi met with the selection for the extermination squad.

Besides elite-level exorcists, there were special forces soldiers, wilderness survival experts, and even accompanying doctors—suffice to say, the preparation was thorough.

A designated bus was already waiting early on at Buffalo Airport to transport them to an isolated small town.

The squad set up camp next to a pool, and the church's priests arranged an Array around it.

"This pool happens to connect to the Land of Ceris; setting up an Array can expand the entrance, otherwise, it would be difficult to accommodate so many of us," Ed explained on the side.

Xu Yi nodded, indicating his understanding.

The extermination squad had nearly two hundred people; indeed, it was difficult to find such a large entrance.

Why not enter one by one if the entrance was not big enough?

The reason was simple: only if they entered at the same time would they be able to arrive in the same place.

Otherwise, being scattered across the vast Land of Ceris was a hundred times worse than being alone in the center of the Sahara Desert.

At night, the church's exorcists finally completed the Array, but they didn't enter right away; instead, they spent the night conserving their strength.

"Let's go!"

At the voice of the church's red-robed bishop, everyone entered the depths of the pond, the water icy cold.

"Everyone swim to the bottom first, then, seeing the signal, join hands and enter together."

All had reached the bottom of the pond; those who couldn't swim had previously consumed Blackwater, a liquid refined from Ferocious Spirits found in water, allowing temporary breathing underwater.

With a large red mass exploding at the bottom of the pond, everyone swam together towards the vortex at the bottom.

Within the swirling current, Xu Yi rapidly fell, not resisting the force but letting the water pull him downward.

Everything grew darker before his eyes, his consciousness grew fuzzy, and his stomach churned. On the verge of vomiting, he suddenly felt a void beneath him and plummeted downwards.

With a "thud," he landed.
