Fortunately, this three-legged toad truly lived up to its reputation as a magical artifact. It was particularly effective against all kinds of malevolent spirits and shadowy forces, even those from the West, to an extent that even Ye Wudao himself found hard to believe.
Strangely enough, after Ye Wudao had cleared away these resentful spirits, the pouring rain unexpectedly began to cease, and stars even appeared in the sky, indicating that the weather would improve the next day.
Ye Wudao did not know if this was a coincidence or if it had something to do with the lingering malice in the area; nevertheless, the improved weather was a good thing for them.
Having been busy fighting and jumping around for most of the night, and with his clothes completely soaked by the rain, Ye Wudao did not want to wake Wang Yuyan by returning to the tent. He decided to just spend the night outside since the sky had cleared up and it was no longer raining; it would be fine to stay out.
