Chapter 9 - Kongshan Taoist Temple seems to be a villain

Maybe because of the need to take care of the freshmen, Hogwarts arranged two classes a day.

During dinner, the news that Harry became the Gryffindor Seeker spread. After hearing this, Malfoy vowed that he would also become a Seeker and defeat Harry in the Quidditch game. Ivan was not interested in this kind of game.

When it was late at night, he quietly took the broom and flew out of Hogwarts to the Forbidden Forest. He planned to practice flying in the Forbidden Forest.

Just as he was about to approach the edge of the Forbidden Forest, suddenly, a piercing chill came from the forest, like an invisible ice blade scratching his skin. Ivan's hair stood up instantly, and all the pores on his body tightened. He stopped the broom suddenly, and his eyes scanned the surroundings nervously.

There was an evil yin aura permeating around, which was not like the breath carried by ordinary obsession, but rather a combination of countless human breaths.

The ancestor began to flash wildly. After so many days in this world, he finally encountered something related to his job.

Taoist priests should clear their obsessions, but the obsessions on campus did not harm anyone, so he could not let Ivan do it.

The smell of this Yin Qi is very evil. It must have harmed many people. It can be collected.

He urged Ivan to go over and take a look.

Ivan drove the broom slowly down, and the darkness around him surged like a tide, wrapping him up. The branches and leaves of the Forbidden Forest rustled in the night wind, and the shadows of the trees swayed, as if countless invisible hands stretched out in the darkness.

The ring of the ancestor flashed more and more violently on his wrist, and the light was particularly dazzling in the darkness, like a guideline, urging him to walk deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

Ivan pushed aside the dense branches and leaves, and the dead leaves under his feet made a slight cracking sound.

Suddenly, his footsteps paused, and the scene in front of him made his pupils shrink slightly.

Professor Snape was being protected by a silver doe behind him. The doe was elegant and noble, with silver hair gleaming softly in the moonlight, like a beacon in the darkness. However, the doe seemed unusually nervous at the moment, with its limbs slightly bent, its head lowered, and its eyes staring vigilantly ahead.

Ivan followed the doe's line of sight and felt a chill that went straight to his bones. In front of the doe stood a group of tall, thin creatures. Their entire bodies were covered in a tattered black cloak, under which a skeleton-like body could be vaguely seen. Their skin was gray, as if they had been dead for many years, and their fingers were slender and curved, like eagle claws, with a faint cold light on their fingertips.

Ivan's sight fell on their heads, where there were no facial features, only a shapeless cloud of smoke, in which a bottomless cave could be vaguely seen, emitting a suffocating cold breath. Their breathing sounded as if coming from a tomb, hoarse and low, with an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Why is this obsession different from the one described by the ancestor?" Ivan murmured in a low voice.

"These obsessions carry some traces of our Kongshan Taoist Temple. You see, they specifically absorb human joy as food." The ancestor saw through the nature of the obsession at a glance

"These obsessions were modified instinctively when they were born. This can only be done by the forbidden technique of our Kongshan Taoist Temple, the Merciless Formation. But the Merciless Formation was lost in a catastrophe hundreds of years ago, and I don't know this Taoist technique."

"Why do I feel that our Kongshan Taoist Temple is like a villain?"

While Ivan was communicating with the ancestor,

the silver doe retreated step by step under the pressure of the obsession, and its hair became dull with each collision. Every attack of the obsession would take away a trace of light on the doe, as if devouring its vitality. The doe's low cry echoed in the forest, with a hint of pain and despair.

"Grandmaster, let's not worry about the Merciless Formation for now. We need to save people first."

Professor Snape's face was already very pale, and there was a rare panic in his eyes. His fingers tightly grasped the wand, and his knuckles turned white due to the force. His lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to be whispering a spell, but there was no light flashing at the tip of the wand, as if his magic had lost its effect in the darkness.

Ivan took out the magic wand, and he didn't know how the owner of this body chose the wand. The wand was made of cherry wood branches, and the core was dragon heartstring. Rounding it off, it can barely be regarded as a peach wood sword.

He touched the thumb and middle finger of his left hand, stretched his index finger and pinky finger upward, bent his ring finger and pressed it against his index finger, and chanted the spell "The Supreme Spell, exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts. Heaven and earth unite, and all spirits return to their positions. Hurry up and command. Quick!" The spiritual power of the whole body rushed to the magic wand, and the magic wand shot out towards the obsessions.

The magic wand-shaped peach wood sword cut through the air, with a faint golden light, and directly hit the cloak of one of the obsessions.

Hey, cherry wood is really good!

The obsession's body trembled violently, and thick black smoke instantly came out of the cloak, as if it was burned by flames. The obsession let out a shrill scream, the sound was sharp and piercing, like countless glass fragments scratching the eardrum, making people's scalp numb.

Other obsessions were attracted by this sudden attack, and they turned their heads one after another, their eyes fixed on Ivan. Their cloaks fluttered in the wind, and their figures were as light as ghosts. They flew towards Ivan in an instant, so fast that people could hardly react.

Snape's body shook slightly, and his eyes glanced at Ivan.

"Efiri, go! They are Dementors, go find Dumbledore!"

Ivan's footsteps did not move. He quickly bit his middle finger on his right hand, and blood oozed from his fingertips. He spread his left palm, and the blood quickly carved a complex rune on his palm. The lines of the rune glowed faintly red in the dark.

"Palm Thunder!" Ivan shouted in a low voice, his voice was low but full of power.

The most powerful thunder method in Kongshan Taoist Temple.

The rune lit up instantly, and a dazzling lightning burst out from his palm, like a silver dragon, heading straight for the Dementors. The power of lightning was so great that the air seemed to be torn apart, making a "sizzling" sound. When the lightning hit the Dementors, there was a deafening roar. The Dementors' bodies trembled violently under the impact of lightning, and their cloaks instantly became charred, and black smoke came out from all over their bodies.

The Dementors obviously did not expect Ivan to have such a powerful attack method. Their screams became more shrill, and their bodies kept shaking in the air, as if they would fall at any time. They looked at each other with a trace of panic in their eyes, and then quickly turned around and fled in all directions like a group of frightened crows.
