Ye Sisi continued, her restless mood gradually calming down with the crisp sound of the wooden fish being struck.
The barrier she had set up outside had quietly disappeared without her noticing. The demons, bewildered and terrified, were gathered by the four ghost kings hidden behind them and sent in batches towards Ye Sisi's location.
The cultivators who were still wandering around the Forbidden Land of the Underworld, searching for the Soul Beast Tower, noticed the strange behavior of the evil spirits and concealed themselves, sneaking towards the direction where the evil spirits were gathering.
At this moment, Ye Sisi was completely surrounded by evil spirits. The cultivators who came could only see a dazzling golden light in the midst of the evil spirits, and could also vaguely see the phantom of a glazed pagoda.
The monks then began to discuss it in hushed tones.
"What's going on?"
"Is that the golden light of merit from a high-ranking Buddhist monk? Why does the golden light of merit condense into a pagoda shape?"
"No, when did those bald monks in Buddhism become so capable? Not only do they dare to come to the Forbidden Land of the Underworld to perform rituals for the departed, but they can also make these evil spirits line up to be saved?"
"Who knows? And don't those ghost kings care?"
"Judging from the intensity of this golden light of merit, the high monk inside must be at least a Nascent Soul cultivator. How many good deeds must he have done to accumulate such a rich amount of merit?"
"Moreover, why does that tower look so much like the long-lost Pure World Glazed Pagoda? When did it recognize its master?"
With the cultivators' vigorous promotion, the unusual situation here spread rapidly, like a tornado throughout the entire cultivation world.
Su Jiuli, who was having tea and chatting with Sect Leader Tang Hua while also arguing about the sect's interests, also received this news.
Thinking of his junior sister, who was always causing trouble, he had no doubts and was almost immediately certain that this matter was definitely related to her.
It's only been a few days! How did my junior sister, who was clearly a sword cultivator, switch to Buddhist cultivation? No, he had to go check on her right away. It wouldn't be good if his junior sister had been kidnapped by that bald monk.
Tang Hua received the message at almost the same time as him. Thinking that he also had many disciples there, he smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Su, why don't we travel together?"
Su Jiuli nodded with a smile, hoping that his junior sister wouldn't cause any big trouble. Actually, it wouldn't matter if she did cause big trouble, as long as she didn't ruin herself.
Ye Sisi was completely absorbed in the moment, so she didn't notice that the little flower bud on the top of her nascent soul was slowly regaining its luster after being nourished by a massive amount of merit, and even one of the petals was about to bloom.
More and more evil spirits were converted, but the number of evil spirits surging towards her did not decrease. After striking the wooden fish for nearly a day, the spiritual power in her body began to deplete. Just then, a spiritual power that she was extremely familiar with surged into her body, nourishing her nearly dried-up dantian.
She couldn't help but smile, because the slight unease she felt from being manipulated by an invisible force vanished without a trace with Su Jiuli's arrival.
Her nearly depleted spiritual energy was replenished, and her hand movements continued as before. However, both the conscious ghosts and the onlookers could hear the hint of joy in the little girl's chanting.
Su Jiuli smiled and said softly, "It's alright, Senior Brother is here."
Ye Sisi hummed in agreement in her mind, and the scene returned to an eerie calm.
After Lin Shuangluo and the other three finally reunited, they explored the Soul Beast Tower from the first to the ninth floor. After discovering that Ye Sisi was nowhere to be seen, they kept trying to find a way out. The main reason was that they hadn't seen either of the two Nascent Soul cultivators, and it would be dangerous if their junior sister hadn't come in or had been thrown out halfway through.
However, they searched for a long time but could not find the exit of the Soul Beast Tower. Moreover, based on the experience of their predecessors, entering and exiting the Soul Beast Tower was very random and had no pattern whatsoever.
The group, who were extremely agitated, dealt with the fearless charging horde of soul beasts with ruthless brutality.
Little Tower Spirit felt a pang of heartache seeing so many treasures being taken away, but these were the people her aunt had said she would take care of, so even though she really wanted to throw them out, she held back.
Ye Shubai, having reached the top of the tower once more, began to scribble and draw in various corners without saying a word. Bai Luochen obediently followed behind him, assisting him and fetching whatever he asked for.
Lin Shuangluo and Ouyang Yanyu blocked the surging soul beasts for them.
After Ye Shubai finished setting up the formation, Bai Luochen said, "Little artifact spirit, I'll say it again, either pull Junior Sister in or let us out, otherwise even if you are a sacred artifact, you will be blown to bits."
Actually, he was just trying to scare the little artifact spirit. Sacred artifacts are even more precious than spiritual treasures, and they are generally indestructible. But he had no choice. They were genuinely afraid that Ye Sisi would be in trouble if she encountered those two Nascent Soul cultivators outside alone.
When the little spirit sensed the several black spheres radiating the pressure of heavenly tribulation placed at the top of the tower, its entire being felt unwell.
Why did her aunt let these people in? Why are they all so terrifying? She's just a spirit with no offensive power, only responsible for giving people treasures. Why are they bullying her like this?
But she was afraid of pain, so she flashed in front of Ye Shubai and Bai Luochen and said hurriedly, "Don't blow me up, I'll let you out. And your junior sister is fine, she's having a great time outside."
The group breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Ye Shubai said, "You all go out first. If you're sure Junior Sister is outside, send me a message. Little artifact spirit, is it alright to make an exception and send a message?"
The little spirit was most afraid of this seemingly harmless male cultivator, so she wiped her eyes and said, "No...no problem! Please don't lie to me."
Although she knew that even if all those black orbs exploded, she wouldn't be in much danger, she would definitely feel a lot of pain. That was a heavenly tribulation, and a very strong one at that. It really hurts to be struck by lightning, or rather, to be struck by lightning on a tower.
Lin Shuangluo and the other two were left not far from Ye Sisi and Su Jiuli by the little tower spirit, and then they were all shocked.
No, is this just my imagination? Why is the junior sister chanting sutras and striking the wooden fish? And when did the senior brother arrive? What's enveloping them? Is it Buddha's light?
Although they spent some time sweeping the tower and searching for people, it shouldn't have taken them too long, so is this world magical?
Or is it all an illusion, the work of the little tower spirit, who just doesn't want them to find Ye Sisi?
