After completing her mission, she found a place to sit cross-legged. With a crisp snap of her fingers, a transparent barrier enveloped an area of ten miles around her.
As she focused her mind, the barrier slowly contracted, and the bewildered evil spirits were swept along and wandered inwards. In less than a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen evil spirits had appeared in the area Ye Sisi could see.
She waited a while longer, and when she felt that the future merit-makers had arrived, she solemnly began to recite the scriptures.
The dazzling golden light of merit made the previously dazed ghosts tremble.
All the evil spirits shrouded in golden light let out piercing screams, and the black aura swirling around them could be vaguely seen melting away like snow being roasted over charcoal.
The malevolent ghosts gradually quieted down, and their murky, confused eyes slowly regained their clarity and spirit. As they looked at their slowly transparent bodies, they all smiled with relief.
Rather than living like this, neither human nor ghost, a walking corpse, it's better to die cleanly.
Despite the pain, they forced grateful smiles at the girl, whose features were obscured by the golden light, before slowly turning into specks of light and disappearing.
Ye Sisi had been keeping her eyes down, but when she felt their gazes, she couldn't help but raise her head. Looking at their bright smiling faces, her eyes inexplicably reddened. Perhaps, maybe, Xiao Liuli was mistaken; perhaps they weren't evil people in their previous lives.
Xia Changsheng and Zheng Xiangyi, who had been observing the situation, rushed out of the cave in excitement. Even though they had no physical form, their eyes were filled with tears.
Looking at those familiar faces, and seeing the relieved smiles on their faces, at this moment, they truly believed that Ye Sisi was the one who could liberate them and protect this world.
Ye Sisi, her mind churning, tried to stop what she was doing and what she was chanting, but it was no use. An invisible force kept pushing her to keep striking the wooden fish and controlling her to chant the scriptures over and over again.
Unbeknownst to her, in another space devoid of any light, skeletons raised their heads in bewilderment, and streaks of golden light seemed to pierce through the barriers of the world, shattering the darkness that had shrouded this place for who knows how long.
The vast majority of the skulls had black eye sockets, with only seven skulls that appeared relatively intact having eerie green flames flickering in their eye sockets.
They watched as the golden light slowly coalesced into complete souls, no longer the malevolent and irrational demons of the past, but companions with smiling faces and clear eyes.
More and more souls gathered in mid-air. At first, they were filled with confusion, then they smiled at each other and entered the skeletons that once belonged to them.
