Ye Xianya, however, did not leave.

She not only unleashed the jade bone fan in her hand, but also used mystical arts to violently shatter the magical artifacts that enveloped the surroundings.

The moment the magical artifact was destroyed, the barrier disappeared, the illusion vanished, and the sunlight outside enveloped the small mountain village.

The villagers, who had long since turned into ghosts, wailed in the sunlight. In addition, the jade bone fan in Ye Xianya's hand continued to emit a milky white light. She used her mystical arts and soon exorcised all these ghosts.

These villagers all died because Zhuang Meihua drained their yang energy.

She used the yang energy of these fifty-odd people to prolong her son's life.

Over the years, many people have come to Liujia Village from outside, and they have all died at Zhuang Meihua's hands.

These villagers who have turned into ghosts are merely Zhuang Meihua's ghost servants. They have not done anything wrong, so Ye Xianya certainly won't let them perish.

The best outcome for them would be to help them pass on to the afterlife and be reincarnated in the underworld, so that they would no longer be driven and enslaved by Zhuang Meihua.

When Zhuang Meihua saw that Ye Xianya had exorcised all the ghosts in the village in a short time, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and ask, "You... who exactly are you?"

"I'll wipe you out completely!" After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she instantly used all her strength to destroy Zhuang Meihua's soul. However, to her surprise, a ghost immortal token suddenly flew out of Zhuang Meihua's body and firmly protected her soul.

"You are a wicked ghost who caused trouble in the mortal world, yet you possess a Ghost Immortal Token!" Ye Xianya put away her jade bone fan and frowned slightly.

She had read the notes left by the ancestors of the Taiyi Sect before. According to the records, after a person attains immortality and ascends to the Heavenly Realm, a token symbolizing their identity will be born in their body. Although the ghost immortals in the Underworld are far less powerful than the Heavenly Immortals, they also have their own identity symbols, which are these ghost immortal tokens.

With this token, it is proven that she is an immortal recognized by Heaven and Earth.

It is unacceptable for mortals to kill gods.

Ye Xianya couldn't help but look up at the sky.

The rules of heaven and earth still operate; this world is still governed by the Heavenly Dao.

Otherwise, the demon emperor of the demon race wouldn't have almost attracted a lightning tribulation a few days ago when he stepped out of the forbidden area.

If she kills Zhuang Meihua, Heaven will surely send down divine lightning to strike her.

With her current strength, she absolutely cannot withstand it!

But she could not tolerate the monster continuing to wreak havoc on humanity.

Ye Xianya had already calculated Zhuang Meihua's past and present lives before, and now she had calculated it again in detail, knowing even more about it.

“Zhuang Meihua, although you were a ghost immortal in your previous life and ranked among the immortals, you have chosen to give up your ghost immortal status and reincarnate. After you died, you became a ghost and were originally going to enter the underworld to continue reincarnating.”

"But someone violated the rules of heaven and earth, forcibly merging the Ghost Immortal Token into your body, allowing you to remain in the mortal world as a Ghost Immortal. On the surface, you are performing official duties, but in reality... you have been committing evil. For the sake of your son, you have killed many innocent people. Aren't you afraid of implicating those who help you?"

Zhuang Meihua was slightly taken aback after hearing Ye Xianya's words, but after a moment she suddenly burst into laughter: "It seems that you little Taoist nun do have some real skills, as you know so many of my secrets. Why don't you do some more calculations and see who my father is before deciding whether you want to oppose me!"

At this moment, Zhuang Meihua acted arrogantly and haughtily.

Because she was certain that no Taoist priest in the world would dare to oppose her.

Even if people from the Taiyi Sect came, they would have to bow down before her.

If it weren't for her son, she would never have stayed in this world.

Although she had given up her identity as a ghost immortal and reincarnated with her beloved, her father only had her as his daughter, so of course he couldn't bear to see her reincarnate and experience all the hardships of the world.

Therefore, her father had already said that once she entered the underworld, she would regain her identity as a ghost immortal.

As for this Ghost Immortal Token?

Of course, it was given to her by her father!

Fearing that she would be beaten to a pulp if she stayed in the human world, her father deliberately forcibly integrated the Ghost Token into her soul beforehand.

In this way, even if her father did not send anyone to keep an eye on her, her safety was guaranteed.

"I wonder how much the underworld has changed since then. I've never been there; I've only heard my elders talk about it."

Ye Xianya smiled as she spoke: "The underworld is in the hands of King Yama, who has ten Ghost Kings under his command, each in charge of a different ghost realm. Your father is Bei Tu, one of the ten Ghost Kings, and you... are his only daughter."

"Since you already know, then leave quickly and don't interfere in my affairs. Otherwise... even if I can't kill you, I can ask my father for help. Don't even mention a little Taoist nun like you. Even if you have attained immortality, you are definitely no match for my father!" Zhuang Meihua said arrogantly.

The ghost immortal's strength is indeed not comparable to that of a celestial immortal, but her father is one of the Ten Ghost Kings, with powerful magic. Ordinary immortals are no match for her father, let alone this little Taoist nun.

"I never imagined that our Great Yan Dynasty was so full of hidden talents. A small village actually hides the daughter of the Ghost King. I have a question. Could the Ghost Immortal please enlighten me?"

Ye Xianya paused, then said, "Why don't you take your son back to the underworld and continue being a ghost immortal, living a peaceful and comfortable life under your father's protection? Why do you insist on forcibly prolonging your son's life and causing harm to the human world?"

Logically speaking, given Zhuang Meihua's status, after returning to the underworld, she should be able to continue living like a princess in the vast ghost realm under her father Bei Tu's control, just like before. Even her son Liu Shen could become a ghost immortal.

For Bei Tu, a Ghost King, securing a formal Ghost Immortal status for his own grandson was not a difficult task.

Why do this mother and child insist on staying in the human world?

Zhuang Meihua was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment she said, "I promised Shen'er's father that I would give birth to the child safely, raise him to adulthood, watch him marry and have children and grandchildren, and continue the bloodline of the Liu family. I cannot let my husband down!"

After Zhuang Meihua finished speaking, she looked at Ye Xianya and said, "I have already told you what you wanted to know. Anyway, you can't do anything to me. Leave Yuan Yuzhen behind and leave quickly, or else... I will use this Ghost Immortal Token to send a message to my father and send you to hell!"

Zhengzheng, who was perched on Ye Xianya's shoulder, couldn't stand it any longer and was about to intervene when Ye Xianya pressed her head down.

"I never imagined that you, the daughter of a ghost king, who is like a princess in the underworld, would fall in love with a little ghost who serves you. For him, you are even willing to give up your status as a ghost immortal and reincarnate with him, bearing his children. Such deep affection is truly moving, but you shouldn't have killed so many people for your own selfish desires!"

All I can say is that once someone goes crazy, there's no stopping them!
