Ye Sisi was startled. Had it finally arrived? She felt both excited and a little flustered.
That stinky Taoist priest has always been a knot in her heart. No one can rest easy knowing that there's always this guy who comes and goes without a trace and whose methods are unpredictable.
Now that we've met, whatever the outcome, we have to settle things once and for all.
Lin Shuangluo warily watched the Taoist in hemp robes floating a hundred meters away from them. From Gu Yunyan's angry and fearful expression, she could tell that the man was the one who had injured Ye Shubai.
But this Taoist priest in hemp robes is completely different from what Gu Yunyan described. He's so old, he looks like a frail old man who could be blown away by a single breath.
Although the Taoist priest looked frail, he gave off a terrifying feeling, not because he exuded any violent pressure.
Instead, he had no aura at all, and the people present hadn't even noticed how he had appeared; it was as if he had sprung up out of thin air.
He just stood there, clearly visible to the naked eye, but you couldn't sense him at all when you tried to perceive him with your divine sense or spiritual power, as if he had merged into the surrounding world.
Ye Sisi couldn't help but tug at Lin Shuangluo's sleeve and transmitted her voice, "Third Senior Brother, where is that person? Why can't I sense any of his presence?"
Lin Shuangluo had already drawn her longsword and replied warily, "He has no aura at all. I can only see him, but I can't sense him."
The Taoist priest in hemp robes, for reasons unknown, remained silent, standing there quietly with his gray, unfocused eyes staring into the air, yet seemingly looking at the four people in front of him.
Ye Sisi stepped forward, her eyes, which were unreadable, and said coldly, "The thing that was hiding its head and tail has finally decided to come out. Give back my fourth senior brother's soul."
Lin Shuangluo's heart pounded wildly. His intuition told him that he couldn't defeat this Taoist priest, so he had to be prepared to run away with the others at any time.
The Taoist priest in hemp robes grinned when he heard Ye Sisi's words, but his facial features were extremely stiff, as if he had never smiled before.
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, giving off a lifeless feeling.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to invite you to a great show."
The moment the Taoist priest spoke, Ye Sisi sensed an aura that she found utterly repulsive, a repulsion that came from the depths of her being, like that of a natural enemy.
Immediately, the small flower on the top of the nascent soul's head began to shake violently, and the first petal, which had not yet bloomed, finally opened completely.
Upon closer inspection, the petals of the small flower resemble those of a lotus flower, but they are more delicate and translucent than those of an ordinary lotus, and they exude a sacred aura.
At the same time, Ye Sisi felt a sharp pain between her eyebrows, followed by a warm sensation, as if something was about to emerge from her skin.
Even more miraculously, everything before her eyes became clear again, and the thin mist that had previously shrouded her vision vanished without a trace.
But that wasn't all. Suddenly, the little nascent soul in her dantian opened its mouth, and countless streams of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into her body.
The nascent soul grew larger and larger with each inhalation, quickly expanding to the size of a small ball. Just as Ye Si was trying to stop it, the nascent soul began to gradually become ethereal.
She was shocked. No, this child is so disobedient. She didn't say she wanted to break through, okay? How could she suddenly want to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
But she couldn't do anything now. The little nascent soul had begun to shrink and at the same time transformed into a transparent spirit that entered her sea of consciousness. The nascent soul transformed into a primordial spirit, which meant that she had already become a deity.
She touched her head in a daze. She had already reached the Nascent Soul stage? It was like a joke. And what about the Heavenly Tribulation? Where did it go? Why wasn't it striking her?
She felt a warm sensation between her eyebrows and touched it; it was still as smooth as jade.
Upon seeing her action, Lin Shuangluo quickly closed her mouth and explained considerately, "Junior Sister, you have a petal mark between your eyebrows."
If he wasn't mistaken, his junior sister had reached the Nascent Soul stage? How could she have reached the Nascent Soul stage so quickly? This is too ridiculous!
Ignoring the Taoist priest standing not far away, Ye Sisi took out her small mirror and examined herself carefully. There was indeed a petal the size of half a fingernail between her eyebrows.
The petals are beautiful, almost transparent white, appearing and disappearing intermittently, and almost invisible unless you look very closely.
Seeing him like this, Lin Shuangluo relaxed a lot. It took her a while to react: "Junior Sister, are your eyes better?"
Gu Yunyan didn't know what expression to make. These two were really carefree. What were they thinking about spending money at a time like this?
Seeing Ye Sisi put down the mirror, the Taoist priest in hemp robes continued, "For your sake, I won't kill anyone today, but you all have to obey."
Ye Sisi said expressionlessly, "I'm standing right here. Go ahead and kill one if you dare."
"Don't test me, I won't kill you."
Ye Sisi gave a mocking smile: "You just don't dare."
The Taoist priest readily admitted, "That's right."
Ye Sisi was only slightly surprised before continuing, "Return my fourth senior brother's soul, or I will kill you."
The Taoist priest stopped laughing, as if his patience had run out, and his hoarse, unpleasant voice dropped several notches: "With your abilities, you'd have a hard time even if you met me."
Ye Sisi smiled and said, "You can give it a try."
The air immediately filled with tension. After a moment of silence, the Taoist priest in hemp robes said, "Enough. We are all about to die. Why bother arguing with you?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed at Ye Shubai. Ye Shubai, who had been in a daze, slowly regained his clarity. In less than a breath, his eyes returned to their former brightness.
