In less than an hour, more than a dozen ghost generals returned, all reporting that no ghosts on the hills or mountains had been illegally detaining living souls.
One of the ghost generals said, "Ghost Emperor, now only the Blackwater Demon Realm remains to be searched."
Jiang Juncai was surprised that they had searched so quickly, and asked Yuan Qi curiously, "Have they searched yet? How come they came back so fast?"
Yuan Qi explained in just one sentence: "People use magic to find people, not by searching every mountain and every house, understand?"
Jiang Juncai simply said "oh," realizing his limited perspective.
If the Ghost Realm is gray and gloomy even during the day, then the Blackwater Demon Realm is pitch black day and night. The environment is harsh, with strong winds blowing all year round, which even ghosts with low cultivation levels cannot withstand, let alone mortals.
“Brother, it’s not appropriate for you to go there. You wait here, and I’ll go with Chi Yan to find it,” Yuan Qi advised Jiang Juncai.
Jiang Juncai was very stubborn: "That's my wife, how can I not go? Don't I have your protection?"
"It's no use. Just listen to the name Blackwater Demon Realm. Do you think it's a place you can go? If you go, I'll have to be distracted protecting you. If you can't handle it and your soul is damaged, you'll come back as an idiot."
Upon hearing Yuan Qi's words, Jiang Juncai became even more worried: "What about your sister-in-law? Can she handle it there?"
Yuan Qi explained, "Tanxi must have been injured. If we want to use your sister-in-law's soul to heal her wounds, we must ensure she is not harmed. Don't worry, I will bring her back safely."
Jiang Juncai nodded: "But what about you? Won't you be in trouble if you go?"
“My cultivation is very high, that bit of gale can’t hurt me.” Yuan Qi and Chi Yan exchanged a glance, and the two disappeared with the Ghost General.
Jiang Juncai stood there muttering, "I wonder how high Seventh Sister's cultivation level is. Is it similar to the Ghost Emperor's? The Ghost Emperor was so polite to her, so her cultivation level must be even higher than the Ghost Emperor's, right?"
In no time, the group arrived at the Blackwater Demon Realm. A gentle breeze caressed their faces, but no one found it comfortable. They all instinctively covered themselves up to avoid being blown away by the strong winds.
Chi Yan used magic to call out, "Tan Xi, I know you're here, get the hell out here!"
Tanxi had been tormented by Kongqing and Xuanqing for many years and was seriously injured. He had already exhausted all his strength to capture some ghosts and bring them back here, and he had no strength left to fight against Chiyan.
He secretly slipped away before the Blackwater Demon Realm was surrounded.
Yuan Qi found the Soul-Locking Bottle at Tan Xi's residence. She glanced inside and saw Feng Caiyi inside, being harassed by an evil spirit.
Several evil spirits surrounded her, forcing her into a corner. Feng Caiyi glared angrily at the evil spirits, raised her hand and slapped a male ghost who was touching her face, and then kicked away a male ghost who was groping her chest.
But she was just a living soul, and she didn't know martial arts. How could she possibly be a match for those evil spirits?
"You're quite fierce, little girl. I like girls like you. I find those who are just submissive boring..."
Yuan Qi saw this and immediately smashed all the evil spirits around Feng Caiyi. Feng Caiyi inside didn't know what was happening, but it seemed like someone was helping her. She looked around with relief, and the next second she was lifted into the air. She was terrified.
She took out her soul-nourishing bottle, rescued Feng Caiyi from inside, and put her into her soul-nourishing bottle.
Just as Feng Caiyi was wondering what was happening to her, she heard a voice: "Sister-in-law, it's me, Yuan Qi. I've come to save you. You're in my Soul Nourishing Bottle right now. I'll release you when I get home. Just wait patiently."
"Okay, thank you so much, Seventh Sister, sob sob sob..." Feng Caiyi cried tears of joy. She knew what had happened to her these past two days. She had been pulled out of her body by a person dressed in black and locked up with all sorts of ghosts. She had been living in fear and trembling. Those evil spirits kept harassing her. If no one saved her, she didn't know what would happen next.
"Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. I've already scattered those evil spirits. I'll take you to find my elder brother now," Yuan Qi comforted her, and closed the Soul-Nourishing Bottle.
Feng Caiyi is still unaware that Feng Caixia has taken over her body, nor does she know that Feng Caixia is the one who harmed her. She asks worriedly, "Where is my body? Is it dead?"
Yuan Qi said, "No, we'll talk about this when we get back. You should rest here for a while."
After saying that, Yuan Qi threw the Soul-Locking Bottle to Chi Yan.
Chi Yan was unaware that Tan Xi had secretly run away and was still leading his men to search for the Blackwater Demon Realm. Yuan Qi told him about it and then left with the Soul Nourishing Bottle. She returned to the Ghost Emperor's Cave and, together with Jiang Juncai and Wen Zhujun, returned to the capital via the Yin Road.
Along the way, Yuan Qi told Jiang Juncai that Feng Caiyi was fine, but she had been locked in the Soul Locking Tablet for a period of time and needed to rest.
She also showed Jiang Juncai the soul of Feng Caiyi in the Soul-Nourishing Bottle, and Jiang Juncai was finally relieved.
By the time they returned to the Jiang residence, it was already midnight.
Yuan Qi released Feng Caiyi from the Soul Nourishing Bottle. Jiang Juncai had his Yin Eye opened at Chi Yan's place and saw that the person on the bed was sleeping soundly. However, Feng Caixia's soul was not very compatible with Feng Caiyi's body. Every now and then, the soul wanted to leave the body.
"Seventh Sister, how can we get her out?" Jiang Juncai was furious. He thought about how Feng Caixia had used such despicable means to steal his cousin's marriage, and how he had almost consummated his marriage with her. Thinking of this, Jiang Juncai wanted to sever Feng Caixia's soul.
Feng Caiyi was also very angry: "I really didn't expect that my cousin, who is usually very close to me, would use such a vicious method to harm me behind my back!"
Yuan Qi waved his hand lightly, forcing Feng Caixia's soul out. Feng Caixia woke up from her dream and saw Feng Caiyi's soul. She thought she was dreaming: "You, you, you, what are you doing here?"
Having spent two days with the evil spirit, Feng Caiyi had already developed some fighting ability. Seeing that the other party showed no remorse, she went up and started fighting with Feng Caixia.
"I've been so good to you, and you actually possessed me? Feng Caixia, I really misjudged you! I'll tear you apart today." Knowing that she was a living soul, Feng Caiyi didn't care about her dignified image at all, and was determined to tear Feng Caixia's soul apart.
Feng Caixia's soul had been somewhat unstable and not in sync with her body for the past two days, making her no match for Feng Caiyi. When she realized she had left her body, she panicked and struggled desperately to return, but Feng Caiyi held her tightly and slapped her repeatedly across the face.
Even at this point, Feng Caixia still tried to coax the other person: "Sister, listen to me, I don't know what happened, I suddenly came into your body."
Yuan Qi mocked her: "Really? Then you weren't doing this on purpose, occupying my sister-in-law's body and getting married to my brother. Was someone forcing you to do it?"
