Yaya lifted her little feet and followed.

The water of the Wangchuan River is dark, and there are some lonely ghosts in it who are unwilling to drink Mengpo soup to cross the bridge, as well as those who fell into it when crossing the bridge improperly. They float up and down in the Wangchuan River, and once there is movement by the river, they reach out their hands and scratch around, trying to catch someone to suffer with them.

Yaya pretended to be fascinated by what she saw and asked the "Emperor of Fengdu": "What are those hands doing?"

In fact, Yaya knew why it was like this. Her master had already told her.

The "Emperor of Fengdu" pretended: "These souls in there accidentally fell into the river and are suffering. They are just waiting for a destined person to rescue them. Yaya, you are that destined person."

The voice of "Emperor Fengdu" was so kind, if you ignored the malicious light in his eyes.

"Then how can we save them?" Yaya asked with her head tilted.

“This…” Fengdu Emperor’s voice revealed some embarrassment, as if he had made up his mind, “This requires you to send spiritual power into the Wangchuan River. Your spiritual power can fish them out, so that we can save them.”

As he said this, "The Great King of Fengdu" turned around and looked at Sun Zi and the others.

This is what they agreed on.

Doesn't Yaya, the head of Sanqing Temple, like to stand up for the weak? Previously, she was in charge of the ghost officials beating the souls, and today she is in charge of the party disputes in the underworld, and she even wants to complain to the highest leader of the underworld.

Now that the top leader asked her to save the ghosts, how could she not save them? The lost ghosts in the Wangchuan River could indeed be fished out with spiritual power. However, the water of the Wangchuan River itself had the nature of absorbing spiritual power. Even if a Daluo Jinxian came and spent all his spiritual power, he might not be able to fish out two ghosts.

Once Yaya runs out of spiritual power, the magic circle on her Taoist robe cannot be activated.

They worked together from behind to send Yaya into the waters of the Forgotten River. In a short while, Yaya would be torn to pieces by the ghosts inside and become one of the wandering souls.

The "Emperor of Fengdu" felt relieved when he thought of Yaya's pain after falling into the river. Why could a Taoist temple master in the mortal world punish him? Why? When the mask on the face of the "Emperor of Fengdu" was about to break, Yaya turned around and said in a baby voice: "But there are so many ghosts, Yaya doesn't know who to save."

The ghosts who were still somewhat conscious in the river heard the word "save" and went crazy, pressing on other ghosts to climb up. Their movements made the river surge. The layers of faceless souls kept surging, and the scene was extremely terrifying.

But, embedded in such a scary scene, there is a little kid wearing a purple retro robe.

Sun Zi and several other ghost officials who had been tormented by Yaya felt that Yaya was even more terrifying than those ghosts when they saw this scene.

They were silent, and then they heard Yu Kai's transformed "Emperor Fengdu" speak again: "You are their destined person, you can save anyone."

"Oh." Yaya responded obediently, but was thinking in her heart: It's so troublesome to act with these bad guys, but the result of fortune-telling is that I really am here to find the King of Fengdu.

The result of the fortune-telling cannot be wrong, but it is impossible that the King of Fengdu is really among this group of ghosts. Then what does it mean that she saw the cabin and the Forgotten River?

Could it be that... because she was asking for two things, the King of Fengdu himself was not here, but the half of his soul that was lost was in the Forgotten River?

Thinking of this, Yaya really started to search carefully in the river.

She stared at the Forgetful River with her bright black eyes, searching carefully. She did not see a soul that looked like her little disciple, but she did see a male ghost whose face could not be seen standing next to the other ghosts.

Unlike other ghosts, he was not anxious to be rescued. Instead, he stood quietly in the river, with his exposed upper body all black.

Yaya didn’t know how deep the Forgotten River was, but the soul that could stand in the swamp-like Forgotten River must be extraordinary.

Maybe that was the key to the fortune-telling result? Yaya made a sword-controlling gesture with her little hands and sent spiritual power to the standing soul.

The vigorous silver spiritual power gathered into a fishing net, which immediately pulled up that special soul.

The process was so easy, there was no resistance at all, Yaya was dumbfounded.

What's going on? This feeling is different from what Master said about the water in the Wangchuan River absorbing spiritual energy, like the feeling of sticky, smelly mud.

Could it be that what the master said was sometimes wrong? Or was this not the Forgotten River at all?

While Yaya was in a daze, the "Emperor of Fengdu" behind her could no longer hold back.

He was indeed surprised that Yaya, a mortal child, could actually fish out souls from the Forgotten River, but he felt that Yaya's spiritual power must have been used up.

Otherwise, why would Yaya be stunned? He immediately winked at Sun Zi and the others behind him, asking them to work together to push Yaya in.

Sun Zi nodded seriously and was about to use his spiritual power, but he froze in place.

Only the "Emperor of Fengdu" was still exerting his strength, and his spiritual power really hit Yaya. As soon as the spiritual power touched Yaya, a bright red flame burned and attacked the "Emperor of Fengdu" in the back.

Yaya came back to her senses when she felt the protective magic circle on the Taoist robe activated.

Looking back, they saw the "Emperor of Fengdu" rolling on the ground due to the fire.

"Oh my, my, Yaya's spiritual power hasn't been completely absorbed yet, why are you doing it so quickly?" The little kid squatted on the ground and looked at "Emperor Fengdu". After thinking for a while, he said, "Burn it slowly, burn it slowly. I'm very curious about his mask."

As he said that, he reached out and took off the mask from Yu Kai's face.

The mask was a treasure made of unknown material. It was not damaged by fire and felt soft, yet it still looked like a human face.

Yu Kai on the ground really felt the flames on his body weaken when Yaya said "burn slowly". He was able to catch his breath and asked tremblingly: "You, you knew I was a fake? Then why... why did you cooperate with me?"

"Because Yaya did predict that the King of Fengdu was here, she came to see what was going on." Yaya kindly explained to Yu Kai, "You should have waited a little longer. Yaya didn't even have to put in any effort to fish out that soul just now."

Yu Kai: "Impossible! That's the Wangchuan River. Even a Golden Immortal would have his spiritual energy sucked away. How could you not have put in any effort?"

Yaya: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult. Let Yaya catch a few more for you and see."

She turned her spiritual power into a fishing net, and with one cast of the net, a large number of souls were caught.

Yu Kai was stunned.

Is there something wrong with his eyes? Or has the Lethe River changed? How can a child fish out a bunch of souls like catching fish and still be fine?
