As Zhongyi approached Yin Huaizhu and the others, he added, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the eyes of the group were fixed on Hang Suisui and her master behind them.
In the silence, a crisp click drew attention.
Zhongyi quickly turned his head and saw the Soul-Suppressing Pearl shattered and lying on the ground.
In an instant, the center, which was surrounded, was filled with several malevolent ghosts.
The ghosts remained frozen in their final moments, bloody and grimacing, too gruesome to behold.
Zhongyi quickly pulled out a bunch of yellow talismans from his pocket and handed one to everyone next to him.
The moment Hang Suisui shattered the Soul-Suppressing Pearl, many Taoist priests threw out their talismans, surrounding the four directions and the sky above.
Hang Suisui and Cheng Yuan stood amidst countless drifting, rampaging ghosts. The ghosts around them had distorted faces, fierce eyes, and kept emitting piercing screams.
These voices were filled with hostility and resentment, sending chills down one's spine.
The vengeful spirits rushed outwards, trying to break free of their restraints, and were thrown into chaos.
Wang Taobo and Liang Gui huddled together, holding hands. They couldn't see the spirits, but they could feel the eerie chill emanating from them.
Especially those eerie gusts of wind that rise from the ground.
The gust of wind gave both of them goosebumps, and even Qin Yu clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and frowned.
In contrast, Yin Huaizhu remained calm, her eyes fixed on the slender white and green figure inside.
None of them uttered a sound.
Zhongyi then realized that none of the others could see the ghost, only he could.
So why are they afraid?
If they aren't afraid, how can it be shown that he's protecting them?
The sense of professionalism immediately came through.
He glanced at the several fierce ghosts that were struggling and baring their teeth at him, which had been subdued by Hang Suisui and Daoist Chengyuan.
Then he turned around and began to show his benevolence, quickly swiping the talisman in front of Wang Taobo, Liang Gui, and Qin Yu.
Let me show you something amazing!
As the talisman swept past Yin Huaizhu, Zhong Yi paused, then withdrew the talisman.
That Fifth Master Yin, you can clearly see him.
Wang Taobo and Liang Gui were so frightened by the sudden appearance of the vengeful ghost with bared teeth that they both screamed.
"Ah—Ugh!"
The moment the words were uttered, Zhong Yi, who was prepared, swiftly covered their mouths.
Shh~ Don't make a sound, or you'll attract them and they'll bite you.
Immediately, Liang Gui and Wang Taobo's faces turned even paler, and the two huddled together, trembling.
Qin Yu, who was standing next to him, also narrowed his eyes and covered his mouth with his hand.
Even though Qin Yu had seen many dead people, he had never seen such a vengeful ghost with its whole body twisted, its eyes and nose covered in grime, and its fierce screams.
"Taoist Master, please use this."
A long, large, heavy, and very imposing wooden sword appeared out of thin air in Hang Suisui's hand, and she tossed the sword to Daoist Chengyuan, who was standing opposite her.
Master Chengyuan reached out and caught the wooden sword, which suddenly felt heavy in his hand.
The moment you touch the wooden sword, an intense yang energy emanates from it.
This lightning pattern indicates lightning-struck wood!
And it's such a big one!
This could be used as a machete!
Yes, this time Hang Suisui carved this wooden sword mainly for the purpose of making it easy to chop people.
Master Cheng Yuan's eyebrows twitched. "A great sword!"
He weighed the large wooden sword in his hand; this little girl was quite extravagant.
From this large piece of lightning-struck wood, a greatsword was carved out.
Master Chengyuan wielded his greatsword and professionally swung it at the evil spirits, instantly freezing them in place.
Seizing the opportunity, Hang Suisui drew runes in the air, and with a wave of her hand, one rune became more than a dozen. With a wave of her hand, the golden runes struck the souls of all the evil spirits.
The vengeful ghosts rolled to the ground, and gradually, amidst screams, they returned to their original appearances from when they were alive.
Reason gradually returned, and Mingtai gradually came to his senses.
Seventeen ghosts lay on the ground, looking blankly at the people around them and at themselves.
"What...what's wrong with me?"
Where am I?
"You... Old Hu!"
"Xiao Chen!"
"Master Li! You... what am I doing...?"
"Big brother!"
"Little brother!"
They all stood up from the ground.
All the memories came flooding back.
No one around made a sound to disturb the scene.
Qin Yu, who was in the distance, stared wide-eyed at the wooden sword in the hand of Daoist Cheng Yuan, and looked incredulously at the girl in the white and green dress in front of him.
"So you are dead too, we are all dead."
The ghosts, observing their surroundings, understood what was happening.
They all looked warily at the Taoist priest in blue robes who had surrounded them.
"You've come to take us away?"
Hang Suisui then spoke up: "No."
Upon hearing the sound, all seventeen people turned their heads toward the source of the sound.
Before they could say anything more, Hang Suisui quickly said, "We're not here to take you away. We already know your background. The ledger and recording are in my hands now. If you want revenge, do as I say. You can't harm the innocent. After you've taken your revenge, you have to be released and can't stay any longer."
All the ghosts looked at each other in bewilderment.
