"This evil spirit leader is quite powerful. We can't just fight him head-on. We have to think of a way." Mu Li maintained the shield while thinking about countermeasures.
Suddenly, Mu Li noticed some unique runes flickering on the ground beneath the Wraith Leader's feet. After careful observation, she speculated that these runes might be the key to maintaining the Wraith Leader's immense power.
"Brother Moxi, uncle, you guys attract its attention, I'll destroy the runes under its feet!" Mu Li said.
Mo Xi and Mu Yang nodded, and both launched their attacks simultaneously. Mo Xi unleashed a powerful Dark Flame, charging towards the vengeful spirit leader, while Mu Yang attacked from the side with Purifying Fire. The vengeful spirit leader, drawn in by their attacks, turned to deal with them, temporarily ignoring Mu Li.
Mu Li seized the opportunity and, with lightning speed, rushed towards the feet of the vengeful spirit leader. As she approached the rune, the vengeful spirit leader seemed to sense danger and diverted some of its strength to attack Mu Li. Mu Li was unable to dodge and was struck by a dark force, her body flying backwards.
"Ali!" Mo Xi and Mu Yang exclaimed.
Mu Li gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and stood up again, desperately rushing towards the rune. She mobilized all her spiritual power, concentrated it in her hands, and smashed it hard. The rune flickered under the attack, and the body of the vengeful spirit leader trembled, and it roared even more furiously.
Under Mu Li's sustained assault, the rune finally shattered. As the rune shattered, the leader's power rapidly weakened, and his body began to dissipate. Seeing this, the other spirits fled, disappearing into the mist.
"Huh, it's finally solved." Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Mo Xi and Mu Yang hurried forward to check on her injuries. Fortunately, Mu Li's injuries were not serious and she recovered after a short rest.
The three continued their search for the Soul-Calming Jade Pendant in the forest. They followed a faint path, the fog gradually thinning. Suddenly, a dilapidated temple appeared before them. The door was half-open, and a faint light shone from within.
"That light is a bit strange. The soul-calming jade pendant might be inside." Mu Yang said, pointing to the temple.
The three of them approached the temple cautiously and pushed open the door. The temple was filled with an air of antiquity. In the center stood a statue of a deity, holding a brocade box in its hands. The box emitted a soft glow, the same as the one they had seen before.
"The soul-calming jade pendant should be in that brocade box." Mo Xi said.
Just as they were about to step forward to take the brocade box, the statue's eyes suddenly lit up, and a powerful force surged from the statue, trapping them in place...
