Ruan Siyao was also taken aback by the sudden change, but she didn't panic. Instead, she was eager to try.
A voice in her head told her that the thing was not far away... the opportunity was right before her eyes...
"Waaaah... Let me out..."
"Ah!! Don't kill me... Ah..."
"Awoooooo..."
The sound of weeping came from ahead, sounding like ten thousand people wailing in pain, grief, terror, and despair...
It's so alluring and captivating that it can easily stir up negative emotions if you're not careful...
Ruan Siyao frowned and silently recited the Mind-Clearing Mantra, barely managing to keep her mind from being disturbed.
The resentment here was even stronger than she had imagined!
These are all the sins committed by the Zhao family and the cultivators of that era. They are a bunch of scheming and despicable people who will be punished sooner or later!
The fact that the old man surnamed Zhang was able to break through the restrictions and get here so easily is probably due to his connections.
Not a single one of them is any good!
She walked on, thinking as she went, heading in the direction of the crying.
Before she could get close, a sound came from ahead, the wailing of ten thousand ghosts stopped, and all was silent.
Two breaths later, the sounds of fighting rang out.
It must be that Old Man Zhang is fighting with the vengeful ghosts here.
As she drew closer, the spiritual energy gathered in her eyes, allowing her to see the entire scene before her, just as she had predicted.
A fight broke out.
The voice in her mind had already pointed her in the right direction; she should take advantage of Old Man Zhang drawing attention to him and seize the treasure.
However, a vengeful ghost had already spotted her and howled as it pounced on her.
"Awoo..."
This howl attracted a horde of vengeful ghosts emanating billowing black smoke, which swarmed towards her.
Ruan Siyao's path was blocked.
We have no choice but to confront the enemy head-on.
Old Zhang also noticed the situation and realized he was being followed, a look of anger appearing on his face.
There are priorities. Let's deal with the immediate problem first, and then settle accounts with this little girl.
These kids are really troublesome...
Wave after wave, seemingly endless, impossible to extinguish, simply impossible to extinguish...
How many people have those heartless bastards from the Zhao family harmed?
It's far more than just a few hundred people...
If he doesn't come up with a solution sooner or later, he'll be worn down and die here.
He immediately extended a cooperation invitation to Ruan Siyao.
After skillfully dealing with several groups of kids, Ruan Siyao realized the seriousness of the situation.
These little devils, instead of decreasing in number after being wiped out, actually increased in number, as if they could be reborn with the help of some hidden force.
If she continues to expend her energy like this, her strength will eventually be exhausted.
They immediately agreed to cooperate and worked with Old Man Zhang to build a large-scale evil-slaying formation.
Even if it cannot be completely eliminated, it will at least be severely damaged, making it impossible for it to regenerate with the help of that mysterious hidden power in the short term.
Bang!!
An energy wave exploded outwards.
The number of ghostly figures at the scene has decreased by at least half.
"Walk!!"
Old Zhang shouted sharply and sped off in one direction.
However, another figure flashed past him, moving even faster than him. They reached the next checkpoint first.
Old Zhang's eyes widened, and he shouted in exasperation:
"Little girl, you're a liar, and you're quite good at hiding your tricks!"
...
In the shadows, Zhao Momo gripped a handful of talismans tightly, hesitating to move forward.
The loud noise just now successfully deterred her.
The previous battles were too brutal; this talisman is her only trump card. She has to use it wisely.
Let's just wait and see at this entrance.
...
Following the guidance in her heart, Ruan Siyao arrived at a place in the underworld.
One of them is a strange altar.
A deep blue bead floated in the center, radiating a cold light, and formed its own protective barrier around it.
Her intuition told her it was dangerous.
"The Myriad Soul Pearl!!"
Old Zhang arrived shortly after, and upon seeing this, he became excited and reached out to take it.
Ruan Siyao tried to stop it, but it was too late.
"Bang!!" Old Zhang was repelled by the ghostly light and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ruan Siyao sighed and shook her head. "Ugh, it looks painful."
"Hehehehehe..."
A strange laugh echoed throughout the space.
"You actually managed to find this place; I underestimated you—the lackeys of the Zhao family."
Ruan Siyao: "..."
Old Zhang: "..."
Above the Soul Pearl, a familiar yet unfamiliar ghostly figure was projected.
It was the same vengeful ghost that had escaped from the Zhao family before. However, it was no longer Little Karami; it was an upgraded, pay-to-win version of the vengeful ghost, Niu Kulu.
It's obvious at a glance that it's not on the same level as before.
In just a few days, this vengeful ghost has become significantly stronger...
Ruan Siyao and Master Zhang exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of fear and seriousness in each other's eyes.
They were all determined to obtain the Myriad Soul Pearl, and each had their own compelling reasons for wanting it.
A tough battle is ahead...
"Perfect, I'll use your blood to sacrifice my precious treasure, hehehe..."
"Die, all of you!!!"
The vengeful ghost suddenly let out a sharp screech, its aura expanding and its yin energy exploding.
...
Zhao Momo, who was guarding the entrance to the passage, also sensed the situation in the deepest part. When she heard the howling of the vengeful ghost, her hands trembled.
She could tell from the sound that this ghost was fierce, not in the same league as the randomly spawning little karami on the periphery; she couldn't afford to mess with it.
There were loud banging sounds coming from inside for a long time, and it seemed that Little Karami outside had been sucked away by something.
Then came another round of collisions, an even more intense battle.
It's unclear how long this lasted, but it seemed someone was using underhanded tactics and lacking martial ethics, causing the vengeful spirit to lose ground.
The vengeful ghost threatened, "I will definitely come back! If we meet again, you will all die!!"
Then a cloud of black smoke shot out and rushed towards Zhao Momo.
Zhao Momo was so frightened that she quickly threw out several talismans.
The vengeful ghost only had time to utter one sound:
"Holy crap!!?..."
It burned to ashes in an instant, and died beyond any hope of survival.
It never expected there would be an ambush here...
A strange little black flag fell from the sky and hit Zhao Momo on the head.
