Thus, a bizarre scene unfolded at the city gate of Lihuo City: a young girl in green clothes ran forward swiftly, occasionally throwing talismans behind her, while a group of fierce and malevolent ghosts chased after her, each one wishing they could tear her to pieces.

A group of cultivators were hanging behind the evil spirits, occasionally throwing a sword or a punch at the last ghost, but their attacks were not very effective, so the evil spirits ignored them.

After running a distance, Ye Sisi discovered that these devils had stopped chasing her and were standing there glaring at her fiercely, as if they were restricted by something.

Bai Luochen and the others also noticed this strange phenomenon, so they quickly came to Ye Sisi's side while the ghost brothers ignored them.

Ye Sisi popped a Spirit Recovery Pill into her mouth, then raised her middle finger at the ghosts standing there, and arrogantly said, "Come on, you!"

Seeing his junior sister's actions, Bai Luochen didn't understand what she meant, but he felt it was definitely meant to humiliate her. So he obediently followed suit, raising a middle finger and saying, "Come here!"

And then... and then the ghosts that were just motionless actually came over!

Ye Sisi's arrogant expression vanished as she turned and ran away.

Damn it, all she did was show off, why slap her in the face like that!

Bai Luochen was speechless. Ignoring the strange looks from the others, he followed Ye Sisi and ran away frantically. There was nothing he could do; this time, the ghost was targeting him as well.

Both of them used their lightness footwork to run faster than the other, and the ghost behind them followed closely. Taking advantage of the escape, Ye Sisi stuffed another stack of talismans into Bai Luochen's hand.

Just as the old ghost's claws were about to strike her from behind, Ye Sisi quickly put on a speed-up talisman and shot off a long distance away.

After running a distance, the Ghost Brothers stopped in the same spot. Ye Sisi and Bai Luochen exchanged a glance, and then, in perfect unison, once again provocatively raised their middle fingers.

This time, the ghost brothers didn't move immediately. Instead, they stood there for about two minutes. Ye Sisi smiled and, feeling that her spiritual energy had recovered, jumped onto Bai Luochen's flying sword.

Bai Luochen attached a speed-up talisman to his flying sword, then led the group of not-so-bright ghost brothers in circles. Ye Sisi quietly sat on the flying sword drawing talismans. There was no other way; they only had so many exorcism talismans, and if they didn't replenish them soon, they would have to run away.

The ghost brothers behind, or rather the one controlling the ghost brothers, seemed to realize that they had been tricked and hurriedly summoned their army of evil ghosts back to defend the city gate, but it was too late.

While Ye Sisi and her brother drew the enemy's attention, the fools of the Tianji Sect broke through the defensive formation at the city gate at the fastest speed they had ever seen. The other cultivators who were not injured had already recovered, and those who were injured had also recovered considerably. Then they all rushed into the city.

There's no other way; the Soul Refining Array can only be broken by entering the city, finding the array's core, and destroying it. If the people inside remain trapped outside by the ghosts, there's no point in saving them.

Ye Sisi and Bai Luochen did not enter the city immediately. Instead, they sorted through the contents of the storage bag they had stolen. Judging from the current situation, there was probably more than one Golden Core evil cultivator inside, and the one who controlled the ghost was probably someone else.

"Fifth Senior Brother, can you forge two revolvers from these materials?"

Bai Luochen took the blueprints that Ye Sisi had just drawn. This time, the gun structure was simpler and more compact and convenient, but he still frowned and began to think.

Although he had studied weapon crafting for a while, he had never crafted anything like this before, and the blueprints were not very detailed. He had to work through the process repeatedly, since there were no extra materials for him to experiment with.

Ye Sisi didn't disturb him, but started drawing talismans, especially exorcism talismans, followed by speed-up talismans and teleportation talismans.

She didn't know how many strokes she had made. Just as she felt dizzy, she neatly stopped drawing. Having learned from her previous experience, she dared not overdraw her mental energy again. If she turned herself into an idiot or her soul was scattered, how would she go back?

Turning her head, she saw that Bai Luochen was already working on forging a revolver. Moreover, her usually unreliable fifth senior brother was quite considerate at this time, even setting up a simple barrier for her.

Ye Sisi smiled, then closed her eyes and began to recover.

About fifteen minutes later, Ye Sisi woke up from her meditation and rubbed her still throbbing temples. It seemed that her mental strength was still too weak, otherwise she wouldn't have such a big aftereffect.

In fact, she didn't know that other Qi Refining cultivators could only draw a dozen or so talismans a day at most, while she had drawn hundreds of them. Even so, she only felt a headache. If it were anyone else, they would have died long ago.

Ye Sisi stood up and stretched before looking at Bai Luochen beside her. There's a saying that's true: people who are serious about their work have a certain charm, just like Bai Luochen right now—with the revolver that was about to take shape in his hand.

As the roulette wheel spun, Bai Luochen let out a breath. He excitedly held up his silver revolver and said proudly, "Junior Sister, aren't I amazing!"

Ye Sisi nodded repeatedly, took the newly made revolver, removed the magazine, and stuffed in the specially made bullet-shaped talisman. It was a pity that her fourth senior brother was not here, otherwise, if he had inscribed a spatial array on the magazine, firing the gun would have been incredibly satisfying.

But there's no other way; we have to make do with this due to the special circumstances. "Fifth Senior Brother, hurry up and finish the second one so we can take down that guy's lair! Oh, and if you have any extra materials, make a few more magazines so it'll be easier to switch them!"

Although Bai Luochen didn't think the two of them could take down the evil cultivators, this revolver looked very interesting, and he was indeed itching to use it, so he buried himself in his work again.

When the two entered the city full of energy, the others had already been inside for almost an hour, but there was still no movement. The formation was still the same, the black aura was still as thick, and they didn't even make a sound.

The streets of Lihuo City were wide, yet they exuded an eerie tranquility amidst the ghostly and malevolent aura. Ye Sisi rubbed her arms, even feeling an urge to stay forever.

Realizing something was wrong, Ye Sisi quickly pinched her arm. The pain brought her back to her senses, and when she turned her head, she found that her silly fifth senior brother's eyes had gone unfocused!
