The little devil in red was flung several meters away by the golden light of merit, crashing heavily into a black maple tree with a muffled thud.
Ye Sisi smiled and flashed in front of the little devil in red. "Little brother, don't be nervous. I'm just asking for directions. I promise I won't hurt you."
The ghostly and malevolent aura emanating from the little boy in red had vanished without a trace, and he had returned to being the exquisitely beautiful child in red.
His gaze towards Ye Sisi showed no fear, but rather a hint of hope, which quickly turned into despondency.
Ye Sisi withdrew the golden light of merit emanating from her body and patted the little boy's shoulder: "Why are you making that face? I already said I wouldn't hurt you. I always keep my word."
The little boy stood up, raised his chin, and said, "You want to ask where that man and woman went, right?"
Ye Sisi was surprised. A man and a woman? Did her second senior sister bring companions? Given her personality, that shouldn't be the case.
Her surprise lasted only a moment before she took out Ouyang Yanyu's portrait: "Is the female cultivator you're talking about her?"
The little boy in the red shirt nodded. "That's right."
Ye Sisi smiled and continued, "How long has she been here? And which spatial passage did she use to leave?"
The little boy looked at Ye Sisi with surprise, his clear black and white eyes scanning her up and down: "You can see the chaotic space here?"
Ye Sisi didn't answer his question, but smiled and said, "You just need to answer my question."
The little boy protested, pouting, "You think I'll just answer you because you want me to? Who do you think you are!"
Ye Sisi wasn't angry. With a gentle flick of her fingers, the dazzling golden light of the palace danced around her fingertips: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Ye Sisi, the closed-door disciple of Meng Tianyuan of the Tianling Sect, and also the one who will send you to reincarnation in the future."
She didn't pay much attention to the first part of her sentence, including to the little boy and all the other ghosts. They had never even heard of Meng Tianyuan from the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
But as soon as the second half of the sentence was uttered, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck the minds of all the ghosts, causing a buzzing sound.
In just a moment, the once deathly and eerie black maple forest was filled with countless ghosts.
They included the old and the young, the men and the women, the strong and the weak, but none of them spoke. The densely packed ghosts simply stared intently at the composed girl in red.
After a long while, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a red wedding gown laughed and said, "Little sister, you have quite the nerve. Do you even know where this place is? Sending us to our next reincarnation? Should I say you're delusional, or that you're incredibly arrogant?"
Despite being stared at by so many eyes, Ye Sisi showed no fear. Instead, she slowly shook her head and said, "I don't know where this place is, and I certainly don't have the ability to send you to your next reincarnation right now."
A grumpy ghost instantly unleashed a torrent of murderous intent, its surging ghostly energy causing the maple leaves to rustle.
"What a little brat! She dares to play us for fools. She's got a death wish!"
Ye Sisi smiled and bowed apologetically, then calmly continued, "Senior, don't be anxious, let me finish what I have to say. I already said it's about the future, you and I both know that it's not that I don't have the ability to send you to reincarnation now, but that you are unable to reincarnate now."
Lin Shuangluo was completely confused. What was her junior sister talking about? It all sounded like a jumbled mess.
Ye Shubai was also completely bewildered. His junior sister seemed different again; she seemed to be able to see many things that they couldn't.
As for the ghosts, they were somewhat unconcerned. There were plenty of people who could see the problem here. This girl was just a bit younger than those guys. Back in the day, many of them were powerful figures who had seen all sorts of storms. Why would they be so easily alarmed by such an ambiguous statement?
Ye Sisi sighed: "Seniors, we've come here to find someone, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Although I haven't fully figured out your situation yet, you don't have much time left to be conscious. I can help you suppress the resentment and bloodlust here, so that you'll be in a state of chaos for a shorter time. In return, you can help me find a way. I swear on my inner demons that as long as I, Ye Sisi, am alive, I will definitely come here to help you all reincarnate and be reborn on that day."
Apart from a few highly skilled ghosts, all the other vengeful spirits below the Nascent Soul stage gradually faded and disappeared, as if they had merged into this sunless space.
The wedding-dress-wearing ghost who had spoken earlier put away her charming smile and looked at Ye Sisi with extreme seriousness: "If you can really suppress the blood energy and resentment here and reduce our suffering, I promise to give you a great gift."
Ye Sisi shook her head and smiled: "Seniors, as I just said, all I need is for you to point me in the right direction. It is my honor and my duty to help you."
After speaking, Ye Sisi squatted down, placing her hands on the cold, damp ground, and wisps of pure white, moonlight-like mist emanated from her palms.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the space seemed to brighten for a moment, and the resentment and bloodlust that kept surging from the ground were suppressed even deeper underground by those seemingly white and slender little hands.
The maple trees in the entire black maple forest swayed, but this time the rustling sound emanating from the branches and leaves was no longer a chilling wailing, but rather carried an undisguised joy.
Ye Sisi's face visibly turned pale, and her smooth, fair forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
But the moonlight under her command continued to spread steadily throughout the space, only at a slower and slower pace.
The female ghost in the wedding dress, who had been standing still, suddenly spoke up: "That's enough, no need to push yourself too hard."
Ye Sisi merely managed a weak smile, showing no intention of stopping.
The next moment, the petals that were faintly visible between her brows began to glow, and her nearly depleted power of purification instantly became abundant. The moonlight under her hand also spread rapidly again, until it enveloped the entire Black Wind Forest.
After finishing everything, Ye Sisi plopped down on the ground, panting heavily. The feeling of being completely drained was really not pleasant.
Ye Shubai hurriedly stuffed the pill into her mouth. He had many questions in his mind, but he could only hold them back for now.
The female ghost in the wedding dress stood there for a long time before looking at the girl who was being helped up from the ground by the two young men: "I won't take advantage of you. We don't need these things, consider them a thank you gift. As for the girl you are looking for, she came here a day ago and accidentally entered the second spatial passage on the left. There was also a male cultivator of about the same age with her. They were lucky to run into us while we were still conscious. Otherwise, even if you came, you would only be able to collect her corpse."
Ye Sisi took the pile of spatial rings thrown to her by the red-clothed female ghost and secretly glanced inside. Good heavens, there were so many spirit stones, magic treasures, and pills inside, and they were all top-grade. Her luck was unparalleled. She just didn't know if the pills had expired.
"Thank you, senior. May I ask if the place behind that space is the same as this one?"
