For those who cultivate the Tao, the soul leaving the body is an extremely dangerous thing.

If someone were to harm their physical body at this time, they would be unable to resist, and the final result might be that they would truly become wandering ghosts.

Furthermore, since his birthday hasn't arrived yet, he can only linger there.

However, Jiang Si and Han Yunluo are not ordinary people; their physical bodies and magical powers are exceptionally strong.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Si, together with Han Yunluo, conjured two fake souls. They were so realistic that only the divine beast Di Ting, lying under the table of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, could distinguish them.

The voice became even more arrogant: "It's rumored that Master Jiang possesses boundless magical power, but it seems he's nothing special."

Jiang Si: "..."

I'll beat you so badly your own parents won't recognize you.

The person was only heard from beginning to end, never seen; truly a master of hiding his true identity.

The two of them each placed a wisp of their divine consciousness onto the fake soul.

Unaware of the sound, the fake soul rushed towards the back mountain of the school.

There is a natural cave in the back mountain.

The moment they entered, they felt their connection to the outside world instantly severed. No wonder they couldn't detect it; a spell had been cast.

Inside, Jiang Si and Han Yunluo saw the spirits of many school teachers.

The owner of the voice that had been hiding his head and tail turned around. It was the man with gold-rimmed glasses that Jiang Si had just seen. She didn't remember seeing this person before.

Upon seeing Han Yunluo and Jiang Si, a greedy look appeared in the man's eyes.

The soul of a great celestial master can greatly increase one's magical power by absorbing it; it is a highly nourishing substance.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses controlled the two fake souls, grabbing one in each hand and grinning maliciously: "Today, I reign supreme under heaven."

Jiang Si and Han Yunluo, who were still in the piano room, couldn't take it anymore and shivered.

What kind of cringeworthy lines are these?

Now that she knew the location, things became much easier. Jiang Si used her Shrinking Earth technique and arrived outside the cave in the blink of an eye.

This cave can shield you from the outside world, making it impossible for anyone to see inside, but it also has a drawback: you can't tell if anyone is outside.

The two of them worked together to break through the barrier.

Still lost in his dream of increased magical power, the man with gold-rimmed glasses looked over warily. "Who's there!"

Upon seeing that it was Jiang Si and Han Yunluo, they were horrified: "Impossible!"

His soul-controlling technique was personally taught to him by that person, and almost no one could stop him.

His eyes were bloodshot as he threw the fake soul in his hand to the ground, assuming a fighting stance, "Then I'll personally deal with you."

He wasn't afraid.

Han Yunluo said, "His starting stance is a unique movement of Xingyi School. I don't know what its relationship is with Xingyi School."

Jiang Si was unfamiliar with the sects in this area. "Judging from the name, they must be reputable sects, right?"

Before he could finish speaking, the man pounced on him.

Jiang Si: "..."

Let's see who's overestimating themselves.

He blocked it back with a backhand.

Since the opponent is human, the talismans in Jiang Si's hands won't be very effective; it all comes down to the skills she's cultivated.

Han Yunluo continued, "Xingyi School is considered one of the best schools of Xuanmen, and its people are upright and honest in their conduct."

These words must have touched a nerve with him, "You're asking for it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fearlessly charged forward again.

While blocking her way, Jiang Si said, "Looks like you're a disgrace to your sect. How dare you talk back to me? I'm your great-grandmother!"

Without further ado, he struck the man's right abdomen with a palm strike as the man's defenses were wide open. The impact was so great that the man staggered back several steps, collapsed to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It seemed they were about to be defeated.

The man produced a conch-shaped object.

Jiang Si stared at him cautiously, while the man smiled confidently and quickly cast a spell, producing a series of melodious sounds.

The scene before them changed in an instant.

Before Jiang Si was the Nine-Nine Heavenly Steps leading to the main hall, and beside her was a large stone with the three characters "Qingyun Temple" written on it.

Just then, two junior brothers came down the mountain. When they saw Jiang Si, they greeted her with smiles: "Senior Sister Jiang, you're back so soon?"

"Yeah, I heard that person is really powerful."

Jiang Si clenched her fists.

He shouldn't have joked about her sect.

"Senior Sister Jiang, let's go up quickly, Master is waiting for you!"

"Yes, he misses you terribly."

Jiang Si did not move. On the steps in front of her, her master, Master Feng Heng, stroked his white beard.

"You're back. Come over here quickly, Master, let me take a look at you."

Even though she knew it was an illusion, Jiang Si still couldn't resist taking a few more glances.

She was an orphan her master found at the foot of the mountain, and it was through his careful guidance that she achieved what she has today. However—

"Who gave you permission to blaspheme my master!" Even Buddha would be furious.

Jiang Si bit her fingertip, drawing blood, and flicked it away. "Break!"

The illusion collapsed with a crash.

Jiang Si looked coldly at the man, stretched out her hand, and the man flew over uncontrollably, only to be grabbed by the neck by Jiang Si.

The man struggled desperately: "Let me go, or I'll spare you."

Jiang Si remained expressionless, her eyes reddening slightly. She tilted her head and smiled gently, "Then I'll have no choice but to strike first."

Her grip tightened, and the man's face and neck bulged from being choked, yet he remained defiant:

"Jiang Si, I lost today because I was not skilled enough. Cough cough, when my king returns in the future, you will surely die a horrible death!"

At this moment, Han Yunluo also emerged from the illusion.

Upon seeing Jiang Si, he went over and gently took her hand, saying, "No."

Han Yunluo gently shook her head, "He will be punished, but it shouldn't be done by you. He's not worth you breaking your vows."

Those who cultivate the Tao are subject to the laws of Heaven in every word and deed. The laws of Heaven bind those who cultivate the Tao with the rules of the human world, and there is no room for private punishment in this world.

Those who have privately violated the great precept against killing will be remembered by Heaven. If they ascend to immortality in the future, Heaven will bestow upon them ten or a hundred times the power of the Nine Heavens Mystic Thunder.

Jiang Si looked at him with the same eyes she had for a dead man, and slowly released her grip, causing the man to fall to the ground.

Hearing Han Yunluo's words, he laughed wildly: "Haha, you can't kill me."

Jiang Si had calmed down. Although she had never killed anyone, who said she couldn't deal with evil people?

"I may not be able to kill you, but that doesn't mean I can't touch you."

Jiang Si squatted down, her expression arrogant, and struck him directly in the dantian with her palm.

The man writhed on the ground in agony after that slap.

For a cultivator, destroying their dantian is similar to a martial artist having their tendons severed; it means their cultivation is ruined.

Jiang Si clapped her hands: "I hate people like you who talk tough. If you have the guts, come out and fight. 'My King has returned'? If he could return, he wouldn't have sent a piece of trash like you!"

She picked up the seashell.

Han Yunluo also came over to observe and said, "Hey, this should be the Heavenly Mirage Conch, the treasure of the Xingyi Sect. It is said that it can weave illusions according to people's hearts and is an excellent killing weapon."

Humans are born from the mind, and the mind gives rise to all things; it can fundamentally destroy a person's will.

Jiang Si chuckled: "I don't know if this can be considered a legitimate item. It doesn't matter, I'll wait for the Xingyi Sect people to come find me."
