Before Ji Cheng could react, Jiang Songyi had already stepped forward and faced the murderous aura emanating from the ghost fetus.
The spring breeze danced wildly, the leaves rustled like whispered notes, and the girl's moon-white skirt fluttered lightly, like a dancing butterfly. She should have been a flower of wealth raised in the boudoir, but at this moment, Ji Cheng glimpsed in her a heroic spirit that seemed to come from the frontier, a heroic spirit that was like galloping on the battlefield in the west wind, which made him stunned for a moment.
The girl in front of Guitai had a graceful figure, like a willow swaying in the wind, and her face was full of immaturity and disdain.
"You have white skin and tender flesh, I want to enjoy you first!"
However, in a flash, the seemingly fragile girl quickly formed a complex hand seal with her hands flying, and countless tiny golden rays burst out from her palms, like a dazzling galaxy, interweaving into an unbreakable net, falling rapidly.
Jiang Songyi's expression was solemn, her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was as cold as ice: "Retract!"
Before the ghost fetus could even think of escaping, it was firmly bound by the giant golden net and fell heavily to the ground.
Almost at the same moment, the ghost fetus felt the familiar fluctuation of spiritual power, and an unprecedented fear surged in his heart: "It's you!"
It remembered vividly how this powerful spiritual force had forcibly torn it from its mother body and transplanted it into another's body, leaving it feeling confined. It felt like living in a magnificent palace, only to be suddenly and roughly dragged out and imprisoned in a small thatched hut.
If it could be conceived in the original mother body, then at the moment of devouring the mother body, it would have incomparable powerful strength and would not live such a cowardly life like it does now!
If it had known that the gentle and graceful girl in front of it was the culprit who brutally destroyed the flower that day, it would have turned around and fled in an instant!
How dare he talk so brazenly about wanting to devour her!
Ji Cheng's face also showed a look of astonishment. He had never expected that the evil fetus that made the Jinyiwei run around in a hurry and was in a state of panic was actually under Jiang Songyi's control. He surrendered in a moment.
At the moment when the golden light enveloped the terrifying evil spirit, the melodious piano music that had been lingering over the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion also dissipated like smoke.
Jiang Songyi looked around and saw the clouds cleared, the moon shone brightly, the sun shone down, the sky and earth were vast, and the breeze was gentle. However, it was difficult to find the demeanor of his mentor in his memory.
"Commander, are you safe?"
The Jinyiwei rushed over in a hurry. They witnessed with their own eyes how the seriously injured Ji Cheng cleverly lured away the ghost fetus. Feeling uneasy, they immediately returned to provide support.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."
Black blood was still dripping from Ji Cheng's arms, and his gorgeous clothes were torn in many places, but at this moment his face was as cold as ice, like an indestructible iceberg.
"Commander-in-Chief, Abbot Yuantong has arrived. We will escort you out of this troubled area."
The Jinyiwei surrounded Ji Cheng tightly. They looked around vigilantly, fearing that the ghost fetus would take advantage of the opportunity and launch a surprise attack.
"What about the ghost fetus?"
Jiang Dinglian's deep voice came from behind the rockery.
He held a long spear taller than himself, dressed in a majestic military robe, and walked with steady and powerful steps, like a tiger descending from the mountain.
Following slowly behind the deep shadow was a young monk, twirling a rosary in his hand, wearing a bright scarlet robe, and walking calmly.
"It's just a ghost fetus. I will immediately reveal it and subdue it quickly!"
Abbot Yuantong deftly pulled a shimmering golden bowl from his sleeve and tossed it into the air. Surprisingly, the bowl hovered in mid-air, and countless golden Buddha lights streamed down from above, like a sacred curtain of light.
Even the Jinyiwei, who were usually serious and reserved, could not help but show awe towards Abbot Yuantong when they saw this scene.
Jiang Dinglian, however, stared at Abbot Yuantong with a cold gaze.
He always felt that this monk had a bit of evil in him, and was far from the orthodox way he understood. He thought to himself, I must see what this monk was really like!
However, the golden bowl hovered in the air for a moment, but the ghost fetus did not appear. Instead, a stone suddenly shot out from nowhere and hit the golden bowl accurately.
With a crisp sound of metal colliding, the golden bowl hovering in the air instantly lost its light, made a loud clang, and fell to the ground.
The Jinyiwei who had been looking up to Abbot Yuantong with great expectations were now filled with astonishment and disappointment: Could it be that this Abbot Yuantong was just a charlatan?
Jiang Dinglian folded his hands, embraced his long halberd, and couldn't help but let out a contemptuous sneer.
"Abbot Yuantong, how come your magical instrument fell to the ground before the ghost fetus even appeared?"
Abbot Yuantong's expression was slightly awkward, and he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, yet he maintained a detached demeanor, as calm as a cloud. "Perhaps I used too much force, and the ghost fetus was frightened and fled. But that's irrelevant. Even if it flees to the ends of the earth, I will capture it and bring it back!"
"There's no need to trouble Abbot Yuantong to take action personally."
Ji Cheng was originally a little confused about Jiang Songyi's accusations, thinking that she was slandering Abbot Yuantong.
Jiang Dinglian and Abbot Yuantong simultaneously turned their gazes to Ji Cheng, who was heavily protected by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Ji Cheng moved his steps slightly, revealing Jiang Songyi, whom he had previously hidden. "Thanks to Miss Jiang, the ghost fetus has been eliminated."
Everyone was surprised to find that the originally ferocious and arrogant ghost fetus had now curled up into a ball of chaotic dark energy, imprisoned in a round net emitting golden light, and was lying quietly between the girl's slender fingers.
“Song Yi?!
Jiang Dinglian's thick brows knitted together, his eyes widening like bells. He casually tossed the halberd in his hand to his follower, strode up to Jiang Songyi, and asked in a deep voice, "You little girl, this place is so dangerous, why did you risk it all to come here?"
Jiang Songyi gently fiddled with the ghost fetus in her palm, glanced at him coldly, and said in a tone as cold as ice: "I'm just passing by."
[Eradicating the evildoers and saving lives—is there any other purpose? If we wait until the so-called Yuantong Abbot arrives, I'm afraid this place will be completely silent. If he were to take action then, perhaps he could turn the tide and capture the demon fetuses, earning him temporary fame, but the price would be the loss of countless innocent lives, becoming a tragic foil to his savior status.]
"That's wrong. With Master's secret protection, we don't expect too many casualties. Master is indifferent to fame and fortune, doing good deeds without fanfare, even unwilling to show his face. This kind of detached state is that of a true master. How can he be compared to that demon monk who was once famous but was all show!"
Jiang Dinglian deeply agreed with this. The so-called abbot Yuantong was slow and inefficient in his actions and had no real talent or knowledge at all.
