This trip wasn't in vain; they obtained a useful clue. Li Zhiyi plans to leave and reconsider his plans later.
When Li Zhiyi and Gu Siye reached the small river at the mass grave, the river, which had been dry when they arrived, was now full of water, making it impossible to cross.
Gu Siye knew that something evil had probably come, and he instinctively shielded Li Zhiyi behind him.
Li Zhiyi didn't notice this small action and said sternly to the river, "Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Hehehe, little girl, you've got quite the arrogant tone! Leave this man behind and go your own way..."
Li Zhiyi knew that Gu Siye possessed a pure Yang body and an extremely noble destiny. If he could devour Gu Siye's soul, his cultivation would be greatly enhanced and he would be able to break through to the next level. Normally, these wandering ghosts would not be able to get close to him at all.
But right now, in this location, with a cemetery behind them and a mass grave in front, and at midnight, all the right conditions—time, place, and people—are conducive to these evil spirits causing trouble.
Li Zhiyi said firmly, "What if I don't allow it?"
"Then don't blame me for being impolite!" With that, an invisible water droplet swept up Li Zhiyi. Li Zhiyi leaped into the air, but unexpectedly, the water droplet changed direction and rushed directly towards Gu Siye.
Although Gu Siye had excellent physical fitness and was a black belt in Sanda and Taekwondo, he was still just a mortal and incomparable to these beings who had cultivated themselves into spirits. He never expected that the water could take on a human form.
Li Zhiyi picked up Gu Siye and flew away. The water behind them surged more and more, and the water kept approaching Gu Siye. Li Zhiyi dodged the water with unpredictable agility and landed gracefully on the top of a large tree.
He turned back to the water stains and sneered, "What kind of skill is hiding? If you're so capable, come out and fight me head-on!"
"Hahaha, interesting, you little girl, you're not afraid of death!"
At this moment, a dirty, headless and tailless monster emerged from the river, its body covered in tentacles. It kept wriggling and approaching her, stirring up water droplets with each movement.
Li Zhi quickly recalled what his master had said about the water monster, and finally concluded that this monster was a water demon that cultivated by absorbing the resentment of people who drowned in the water. It had no head or tail, but had countless tentacles, because those who died in the water did not want their souls to be eaten, and the water demon's tentacles were used to grab those souls in the water.
"A water spirit? I thought it was something high-class."
"Never mind who I am, he can't leave today, so you stay and keep me company." Clearly, this water demon overestimated his abilities.
Just as Li Zhi was about to make a move, he heard a voice anxiously say, "Master, Master, I can handle it, let me out."
Li Zhiyi felt something struggling inside his package. He took it out and saw that it was Yu Feier, who was talking, inside the glass bottle.
"How could I forget about you? Are you confident you can beat him?"
"Yes, yes, just watch me, Taoist Master," Yu Feier said smugly.
This fish, Fei'er, originally suffered internal injuries. For some reason, while she was inside the glass bottle, she felt Xiao Bai's saliva accidentally drip into the bottle while she was asleep. Then she discovered that her internal injuries had healed and her cultivation had greatly increased! Now is the time for her to repay her kindness.
Li Zhi released her from the bottle, and she slowly grew larger until she became a woman with a human head and a fish tail. Although her tail was a fish tail, it did not affect her walking at all; she simply swayed as she walked.
"How dare you hurt my benefactor! Take this!" Yu Feier immediately attacked the monster!
He never expected that this woman would have an accomplice, and that this accomplice was his nemesis. He didn't want to fight, so he turned around and tried to run away.
Yu Feier opened her big mouth, and countless drops of water rushed into it. After drinking an unknown amount of water, the water demon had nowhere to hide. Yu Feier flicked her tail and wrapped it around the water demon, and no matter what it did, it couldn't break free! As the big monster fish tightened its grip on him, he found it difficult to breathe.
"Master, Master, spare my life! I'll never do it again! Please tell Henggongyu to let me go! I'm going to die..."
At this moment, Gu Siye, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded as he watched the woman with a human head and a fish tail fighting against this headless and tailless monster!
Completely unaware, a human-faced monster appeared on the tree branch behind him, followed by countless more human-faced monsters, each emitting wisps of black smoke!
These human-faced monsters that emerged from the tree branches were all opening their blood-red mouths, eyeing Gu Siye with predatory intent.
Li Zhiyi grabbed Gu Siye and pulled him close, then sneered at the human-faced monster, "Who do you think you are, the Black Mountain Demon? Who are you trying to scare with that snarling grin?"
"You stinking Taoist priest, get out of the way! I'm going to eat him, eat him, eat him..." The human faces on the tree branches were swaying from side to side, but it was clear that these human-faced monsters seemed unable to leave the tree trunk.
Li Zhiyi pulled out a dagger, which flew past a tree branch and instantly severed five heads. The heads fell to the ground and turned into a pool of blood, which then seeped into the ground and disappeared.
"Ah! You damned, stinking Taoist priest, how dare you harm my descendants! I'll fight you to the death! Fight you to the death! Fight you to the death..." In an instant, the cold wind howled in the deep forest, many trees broke, and broken branches flew everywhere. Gu Siye dodged left and right, but these branches seemed to have a soul, constantly flying and smashing towards the two of them.
Li Zhiyi took out a handful of talismans, chanted a spell, and then threw the talismans into the air. Countless talismans flew around in the wind, and as soon as the talismans touched the branches, the faces on the branches were screaming in pain, looking like they were in unbearable agony!
"You stinking Taoist priest, you damned woman..." the human-faced monster was still cursing Li Zhiyi.
Li Zhi continued chanting the incantation, and the talisman immediately burst into flames, crackling and popping. The smell of roasting meat filled the air, and the human-faced monsters screamed and cried as they burned.
The sound quickly faded away. Gu Siye was even more astonished by what he saw. He never imagined that a tree could become a spirit, and that so many human heads would appear on it. This was clearly beyond his comprehension. He now felt that believing in science was just fooling idiots.
"Bring on any other tricks you have, and let's see if your underlings are more powerful, or my talismans are more powerful!" Li Zhiyi's talismans are all-encompassing.
Master once said that of all the spells she had learned, only the art of talisman cultivation was the most successful that Li Zhi had mastered, and he could now rival Master in skill.
