"Waaaaah..."

The master wept, and the Southern Heaven wept too.

The scene was chaotic, filled with a chorus of cries.

Lin Xi rubbed her temples. "Shut up, everyone. Hurry up and give them their medicine, or they'll die."

The cold voice was like a bucket of cold water being poured over him, instantly sobering Master Jingyuan up.

He pushed the old man away from his arms, his expression slightly disgusted.

"Why are you hugging me at your age? You're crying like a little kid!"

Xu Yuan was bewildered. "Weren't you the one who hugged me?"

"Don't dwell on such trivial matters." Master Jingyuan subconsciously touched his beard, but found nothing.

Xu Yuan then noticed the bald head. He suppressed a laugh and said, "Pfft—Senior Brother, your hair and beard."

Master Jingyuan, hands on his hips, angrily said, "Hurry up and feed me the medicine."

He picked up the medicine bottle, grabbed one of his junior brothers' chins, and shoved it in.

Xu Yuan imitated him, and his movements were simple, crude, and fast.

Lin Xi's lips twitched. As long as the person wasn't dead, the method of administering the medicine didn't matter.

The important thing now is to deal with the monsters, completely destroy the Ghost Realm, and retrieve the fragments.

Thick white fog obscured her vision, but Lin Xi was unaffected and quickly located the monster's trail.

The monster's body was mostly hidden in the shadows, and its eight scarlet eyes gleamed with an eerie light.

Lin Xi instructed, "Old men, step back."

Without the slightest hesitation, Master Jingyuan took off running, saying, "Little Grandmaster, no problem."

Xu Yuan reminded him, "Senior brother, there are others."

Master Jingyuan crouched in a corner, holding his head. "The medicine is finished. They'll be waking up soon. Let them know later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people on the ground woke up one after another.

"Abbot, Master, Senior Uncle..."

Master Jingyuan waved his hand, "Hi, this way."

Everyone had just woken up, their heads were still spinning, and they obediently backed away.

Xu Yuan picked up Nan Tian and walked over. He didn't understand. "Aren't we going to help our little grandmaster? Hiding in the corner like this makes us look like useless people."

Master Jingyuan blurted out, "We are already quite useless, please don't doubt that. If we rush forward in our current half-crippled state, we will only be a hindrance to our junior master."

I'm not afraid of formidable opponents, but I'm afraid of incompetent teammates.

He understood this principle; running away was also a form of helping.

Master Jingyuan huddled in a corner, screaming inwardly.

Go, little grandmaster!

Lin Xi held the peach wood sword and looked around several times.

Yun Yan stood guard behind her, never retreating an inch. "Little Grandmaster, call me if you need anything."

Lin Xi nodded and pointed to a certain spot, "Grab those two strangers and interrogate them later."

"Okay." Yun Yan took out two pairs of handcuffs and quickly approached.

A man and a woman lay with their eyes closed, breathing steadily; they had likely both been poisoned by the white mist.

Yun Yan handcuffed the two men's hands, his gaze fixed on the figure.

Junior Grandmaster, be careful.

Lin Xi picked up the peach wood sword and stepped forward.

The floor was covered with a layer of tentacles, and walking on it felt like walking on knives.

Every step I take hurts my feet a little more.

What kind of monster is this?

Logically speaking, the Ghost Realm was created by the Ghost King, but after wandering around here for most of the day, I didn't even see a shadow of the Ghost King.

I went to a strange classroom, encountered a weird tentacle monster, and then ended up here.

Lin Xi frowned slightly, leaped into the air and charged towards the monster, stabbing fiercely at its eight eyes.

In an instant, a sharp sword aura swept across the entire area, and the monster, being so large, had no way to dodge it.

It tilted its head slightly, and the peach wood sword was thrust straight into its nostril.

"Zzzzz!!"

The monster let out a few screams, spread its wings, and flew into the sky.

"Trying to run?"

Lin Xi lightly touched the ground with her toes, nimbly running around on the monster's back, and slashing down at its wings.

"Awoo..."

The monster fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a large mouthful of white mist.

Ugh! You filthy human, die!!

The white mist was filled with the scent of fragments, which Lin Xi dispersed with a wave of her hand.

A thick, eerie aura swept over her, but she was completely unaffected; in fact, she felt somewhat comfortable.

Lin Xi threw out ten Hurricane Talismans.

A fierce wind raged, scattering layers of white mist.

The monster's appearance was revealed: eight eyes, eight legs, two long tentacles on its head, and a piece of brown wing broken off its back.

Its entire body is covered in tiny hairs, resembling both a spider and a cockroach.

Lin Xi clicked her tongue, "Looking so strangely, is it a spider that cheated on its owner, or a cockroach that had an affair?"

The monster seemed to understand her words, opening its mouth and roaring, "Zzz! Zzz!!"

It's not a spider, and it's not a cockroach!

What is it again?

The monster didn't remember and frantically spewed out white mist.

One to the left, one to the right, one above, one below.

It doesn't believe it can't kill those stinking humans!!

Four plumes of white mist dispersed, weaving into a giant net that tightly enveloped the people within.

The fog was layered upon layered, and Yun Yan could not see the figure clearly. He shouted anxiously.

"Young Grandmaster!"

"fine."

Lin Xi tightened her grip on the peach wood sword.

The little monster was indeed born from a cockroach and a spider.

She gathered her spiritual energy and slashed and cut with her sword.

The white spider web shattered instantly.

Bang--!

At the same time, the sword in Lin Xi's hand also broke.

The peach wood sword is too ordinary and cannot withstand so much spiritual energy; it's rubbish.

The cockroach spider monster has incredibly thick skin; it hurts your hand if you fight it with your fists.

If only she had a divine sword.

Although the paper dolls could combine to form a sword, Lin Xi couldn't bear to do that.

The paper figures would crumble at the slightest touch, and if they were to break during a fight, they would be heartbroken.

Lin Xi shook her wrist.

Forget it, I'll just beat the cockroach-spider monster with my bare hands!

She had just taken a step when a voice sounded behind her.

"Little Grandmaster, catch."

Lin Xi did not turn around, but gripped the money sword in her hand, and bursts of lightning forced back the white mist.

Yun Yan actually threw the money sword over, which was equivalent to handing over his wife to someone else to take care of.

Yunyun is so good; all the love I gave you before wasn't for nothing.

Lin Xi sighed and continued fighting monsters.

With a suitable weapon, she severed the monster's long leg with one sword and gouged out its eyeballs with another.

A powerful aura spread out, and the monster tried to escape but couldn't.

It whimpered a few times, then lay motionless on the ground, brown liquid flowing from beneath it; it looked dead.

Lin Xi continued her actions.

Cockroaches have a unique skill: they can lay eggs for life after a single fertilization, and before they die, they scatter their offspring everywhere, leaving behind their descendants.

In a short while, the brown liquid swelled up into countless tiny buds, with clearly visible tentacles.

Oh no, the little cockroach monster is about to hatch!

Lin Xi threw out ten thunder talismans with one hand and raised the money sword with the other, chanting incantations.

"Reaching the boundless heavens above and encompassing the netherworld below, slaying all evil spirits!!"

Streaks of lightning surged forth like silver snakes, and the monster's entire body was filled with electricity.

It trembled and cried out, "Awooo, zzzz!"

After an unknown amount of time, the lightning disappeared, the brown liquid vanished, and the ground was clean as before.

A black iron plate, the size of an adult male's head, stood silently in the air, emanating an ominous aura.

Lin Xi's eyes sharpened. "It's a fragment!"
