"You lecherous devil, your strength isn't much, but this folding fan in your hand is quite a treasure. I happen to be lacking a suitable weapon, so I'll gladly accept your folding fan." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she used her mystical arts to directly pull the fan over.

The five illusory fan images merged into one, becoming a jade-bone fan.

Liu Hongsheng couldn't help but take a few steps back, his soul no longer as solid as before.

After a ghost has a miraculous encounter, it embarks on a path of cultivation, nourished by yin energy and its own soul. Over time, its body becomes increasingly solid, and when it appears at night, it looks no different from a real person.

"This jade bone fan was originally a fine treasure, but after you, you evil spirit, possessed it, it became tainted with a lot of yin energy. It's truly a waste of a precious thing. Moreover... you've misused this treasure." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to purify the yin energy tainted on the jade bone fan and activated it with mystical arts.

The fan instantly flew up and hovered in the room, casting soft white light upon Liu Hongsheng.

"Ah..." Liu Hongsheng screamed in agony, as if he had been torn to pieces.

He, who had originally looked so elegant, seemed to have lost his flesh and blood in an instant, looking extremely ferocious, just like a demon.

It's just that after a long period of cultivation, his strength has improved considerably, which is why he has been able to condense a physical body that looks quite good.

Unfortunately, this thing is not as good as the skin painted by the monsters. It breaks with the slightest blow, revealing the true face of this evil spirit.

"This kind of magic weapon, made of the finest white jade and nurtured by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth over many years, can restrain you ghosts and monsters once activated. It's quite interesting that this thing ended up in your hands." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she gently stretched out her hand, and the jade bone fan flew back and landed in her hand.

"Please, fairy, spare my life!" Liu Hongsheng immediately knelt on the ground and begged.

"If you spare me, I will take you to the place where the Jade Bone Fan is buried. There... there might be other treasures there. Please, Immortal, spare my life."

"I already knew where you got this jade bone fan, so I don't need you to lead the way." Ye Xianya said with a sneer, "This secret is not enough to buy your life."

"Liu Hongsheng, you have been dead for over thirty years. In all these years you have wandered around, and several times you have almost lost your soul. Until ten years ago, you obtained this jade bone fan and embarked on the path of ghost cultivation, starting to devour people's souls, and you chose the souls of young virgins. A total of seventy-three young girls have died at your hands. A wicked ghost like you is not qualified to step into the path of reincarnation. You only deserve to be destroyed!" After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she summoned the jade bone fan again.

The white light emanating from the fan was even brighter than before. Liu Hongsheng screamed in agony, and in no time, his soul was scattered and he completely disappeared before their eyes.

After Ye Xianya put away the jade bone fan, a smile appeared on her face: "What a wonderful treasure."

This thing is much more convenient to use than those copper coin magic weapons.

Of course, after killing Ye Fu'er from Biyun Temple, she also obtained two magic treasures, but she never had the chance to use them.

Now it seems that this jade bone fan is more powerful and more convenient to use.

In ancient times, this world was home to many sects, almost all of which were as powerful as the Taiyi Sect.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and now only the Taiyi Sect remains.

Some sects certainly have relics, but they have been buried in the long river of time and are occasionally discovered.

Liu Hongsheng is very lucky. Even as a ghost, he still found such a magical artifact, which shows that he is blessed.

Unfortunately, he didn't use this magical treasure for good.

If he were to embark on the path of ghost cultivation with the help of magical artifacts and peacefully absorb yin energy at night to cultivate, perhaps many years later he would become a ghost immortal and be able to serve in the underworld.

But he was not satisfied. He felt that improving his strength in this way was too slow, so he began to devour people's souls to cultivate. That's why he ended up in his hands and his soul was scattered.

Ye Xianya discovered that any of the heinous demons, monsters, or evil cultivators she caught would only suffer the fate of having their souls scattered.

By doing this, she can be considered to be acting on behalf of Heaven.

Although that damned Heavenly Dao tricked her, she still upheld justice.

Moreover, she believed that she would eventually uncover all the secrets and get justice for herself.

"Miss Ye... is he... is he really dead?" Qiuyue asked cautiously.

“His soul has been scattered!” Ye Xianya nodded: “You don’t need to be afraid, Liu Hongsheng is no longer in this world.”

Qiuyue breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Since regaining consciousness, she felt only fear and hatred towards Liu Hongsheng; as for liking him, that was impossible.

She had always been a well-behaved girl since childhood. If Liu Hongsheng hadn't used a bewitching spell on her, causing her to lose her mind and become completely confused, she would never have ended up like that with him...

Although Miss Ye said she was still a virgin and that everything before was just her illusion, it felt too real to her, and she couldn't get over it.

She wouldn't commit suicide for her mother's sake, but she also didn't want to remarry in this lifetime.

Ye Xianya seemed to know what she was thinking and said softly, "Your mother is getting old and won't be able to stay with you for many more years. If you never get married, not only will she not be able to leave in peace, but you will also be lonely for the rest of your life. Moreover... a woman who is single is easily bullied."

Ye Xianya paused slightly as she spoke: "Unless you... go to a wealthy family to be a maid, or enter the palace to be a palace maid, no one is forcing you to get married. You are an embroiderer with exquisite embroidery skills. You can teach girls who want to embroider, or go to wealthy families to teach young ladies embroidery. If you really go back to the countryside with your mother, once your mother is gone, you will find it difficult to move an inch. Staying in the capital will be much better. After all, this is under the emperor's nose, and there are always laws governing everything."

"Besides, everything that happened before was not what you wanted. You were just controlled by that evil spirit. You can forget all of this and start over."

As the saying goes, if you're going to help someone, help them to the very end; if you're going to see someone through to the end, help them to the very end.

She had gone to great lengths to save Qiuyue, and she didn't want her to suffer for the rest of her life. She had said everything she needed to say, and now it was up to the girl to make her choice.

"Thank you, Miss Ye, for saving my life and guiding me through this ordeal." Qiu Yue rose and bowed. "But what has happened these past few days has been too terrible for me. I'm afraid I'll never forget this nightmare and won't be able to get married in peace. If only... none of this had happened!"
