My mother-in-law's throat was cut and blood was all over the floor.

Liu Ran's eyes were red again. She gritted her teeth and held back her sobs as she said, "After we kill all these monsters, I want to bury my mother-in-law. She has no descendants. If we don't take care of her, no one will be able to collect her body."

If it were normal times, the people in the village would definitely not ignore it, but now everyone is busy with their own affairs, who would care about an old widow? Zhou Xuyang's eyes were also red, and he said in a rough voice: "Of course we have to care! Grandma is our savior!"

Qingyi walked closer and looked at the wound, and said in a calm voice: "Her soul was taken away before she died." As a result, there is still a little life left in the corpse.

Liu Ran immediately hated them even more, "Those beasts!"

After placing the mother-in-law's body, the group closed the door and entered the center of the village.

Compared to the chaos at the beginning, the village was much quieter at this time, but one could see signs of destruction everywhere, bamboo houses on fire, houses covered with spider webs, and corpses all over the ground.

Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang huddled together with pale faces, "Could there be no one left alive?"

Liu Ran swallowed a golden beetle, and his skin color and nails began to change immediately.

Zhou Xuyang was stunned when he saw her using the insect for the first time. Is this his wife?

Liu Ran was afraid that he would be scared, so he didn't talk to him specifically. He just said to Qing Yi: "Please protect them."

Qingyi nodded slightly.

Liu Ran slipped straight into the house next door.

Zhou Xuyang seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and shouted worriedly: "Wife, be careful!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ran, who had already entered the house, curled his lips slightly and completely put aside the worries in his heart.

Taotie also followed Liu Ran into the room. The man and the beast cooperated to search the room, but they only found the corpses of a family of three huddled together.

Liu Ran checked and found some scales on the three people's bodies, which were the work of the Goddess of Light, Flash Butterfly.

Taotie approached the corpse, sniffed it, sneezed, and called out to Liu Ran, motioning her to follow him - as long as everything in the world exists, it will have its own unique smell, which cannot be sensed by soul power, but cannot escape its nose.

Liu Ran followed Taotie out of the back door of the bamboo building, and when he looked up he saw a big butterfly standing on a branch.

Liu Ran's eyes turned cold and he rushed forward.

The goddess of light did not dodge the lightning, but only gently moved her wings, reflecting a piece of bright white moonlight.

Liu Ran's expression suddenly became dazed, but his body was still moving forward by inertia.

The Light Goddess Flash Butterfly opened its mouth and ejected its mouthparts, waiting for its prey to come to it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ran suddenly came to his senses the moment he approached her, raised his hand to grab her mouthparts and pulled hard, while at the same time he leaned closer, and with his other hand, he put his palm like a knife and stabbed directly into her chest, grabbed a red container, and quickly dodged backwards.

The entire process, from assault to withdrawal, took less than ten seconds.

As soon as he landed, Liu Ran threw the container in his hand to Taotie.

After swallowing it in one gulp, Taotie turned around and took Liu Ran to the next target.

Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang, who stayed near the campfire, found a place to sit down, keeping their eyes vigilantly observing their surroundings.

"Are we sitting here too obvious?" Xing Kai suddenly realized, "We are like a sitting duck."

Zhou Xuyang also hesitated, "How about changing places?"

“No need.” Qing Yi said calmly, “It’s convenient to observe here. Anything that wants to get close cannot escape my eyes. Although hidden places can give you a greater sense of security, they are also more vulnerable to sneak attacks. After all, those transformed monsters cannot be detected by soul power.”

Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang nodded repeatedly, "I'll do as you say."

Not long after, a figure holding a sickle flashed by in the distance.

The two thought they had seen it wrong, but the next second the figure retreated back and walked straight towards them.

Qing Yi explained to them calmly, "It's the underworld's messenger."

The two of them suddenly realized it at the same time, but why is this ghost wearing a shirt and tie? And he has a dreadlock! The contrast is too big! "Miss Qingyi, we meet again." The ghost came over and said hello.

Qing Yi looked at him suspiciously for a few times, then hesitantly asked, "Is it Master Yin Thirteen?"

"Oh, don't be so polite. You are Master Wen Tianshi's soul envoy, just call me by my name." Yin Shisan touched his clothes and hair, and said with a smile: "I changed my style recently, isn't it very different?"

Qingyi nodded and told the truth: "I almost didn't recognize him." After all, the last time he saw him in the tomb, this ghost was wearing a black robe and his hair was casually loose.

Yin Shisan smiled and said, "Recently, a new styling studio opened in the underworld. You can try it for free for the first time. I was dragged there by a colleague. I didn't expect the effect to be quite good."

Qing Yi didn't know how to comment, so she could only politely say, "As long as you like it."

Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang looked at each other in surprise. It turned out that the Yinchai was so approachable.

After a few words, four mantis men suddenly jumped out from the side, and each of them rushed towards their respective targets as if they had discussed it beforehand.

The mantis man was very fast. When he ran, he turned into a trail of afterimages and was close to them in the blink of an eye.

Xing Kai and Zhou Xuyang watched helplessly as the mantis man swung his capturing legs and slashed at them. They wanted to escape, but their bodies were unable to move due to excessive fear. In the end, they could only close their eyes as if accepting their fate.

The next second, a strong wind swept past, and the dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was heard.

Xing Kai bravely opened his eyes and saw the mantis man who was cut in half and fell to the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then realized that his entire back was wet.

Zhou Xuyang was still hanging on him. He couldn't stand it anymore and pushed him away. "It's okay. Stop sticking to me. Don't you feel uncomfortable with the stickiness on your body?"

Zhou Xuyang didn't react. Xing Kai tilted his head and looked at him. He felt dumbfounded. This man was actually frightened and fainted! The four red containers, no, they should be called transformed souls, were all dug out by Yin Shisan and Qingyi.

Qing Yi asked: "This soul can no longer be reincarnated, can you let me handle it?"

"No, the mission given to us when we came here is to collect and destroy the transformed souls." Yin Shisan pinched his fingers to open a palm-sized magic circle and threw the transformed souls in. Then he asked, "What do you want this thing for? If you don't handle it well, you'll easily be infected."

Qing Yi originally wanted to feed Taotie so that it wouldn't always ask its master for soul power, but she definitely couldn't tell him right now, so she just shook her head and said, "Nothing, I just want to study it."

Yin Shisan understood, "Is it Master Wen Tian who wants to study it? Don't worry, after we bring it back, the Palace Masters will definitely check it out. After all, this thing has affected the balance between the Yin and Yang worlds. Once the Palace Masters come to a conclusion, I will help Master Wen Tian to find out more."

Qingyi could only nod and thank him.

With the help of the Yinchai, the transformed people in the village were quickly dealt with, and Liu Ran and Taotie also returned.

Seeing Zhou Xuyang with his eyes closed, Liu Ran's face changed drastically and he hurried over to check his pulse.

Xing Kai saw this and said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay, he just fainted from shock, let him get some sleep."

Liu Ran was stunned. "Frightened?"

Xing Kai recounted what had happened before and said with emotion: "It was indeed very scary. Plus, the shock I received today was quite big, so it's normal for me to faint."

Liu Ran felt a little embarrassed and asked expressionlessly, "Then why didn't you faint?"

Xing Kai said proudly: "I have experience. My house was haunted before! It was my sister-in-law who helped me solve it!"

Liu Ran's mouth twitched, and he lifted Zhou Xuyang up and moved him aside. Xing Kai's IQ was indeed problematic, right? What was there to be proud of when there was a ghost at home? It seemed that Zhou Xuyang could not always be with him in the future. He was timid to begin with, and if he was any dumber, this man would really be unacceptable.

The ghost messengers were going to check other villages. Before leaving, Yin Shisan came over to say hello to Qingyi, but was unexpectedly stopped by Liu Ran.

Liu Ran asked: "Master Yincha, can these souls that were taken away by the monsters be saved?"

Yin Shisan shook his head, "They can't be saved." After a pause, he rubbed his chin and said, "Actually, I have an idea. I think these modified people were sent out to die. Even if they are not killed by us, they will not live long."

Qing Yi looked over and said seriously, "Please tell me in detail." At the same time, she signaled Liu Ran to call Wen Qi.
