The old clan chief is highly respected in this place. Upon hearing his words, Shi Yantang dared not refuse. He stomped his foot and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine! As long as Daoist can get rid of this demon, I'm willing to go with Daoist."
Zhang Yan nodded and smiled, "This matter is simple."
He retrieved a few talismans from his sleeve and handed them to Tian Kun, saying, "Disciple, take these talismans to the four directions—east, west, south, and north—and burn them. Then bury them underground."
Tian Kun, a seven-or-eight-year-old child with a playful nature, immediately responded with excitement, eagerly holding the talismans and running off.
