Lou Mu drew out a folding fan, and a milky white light enveloped the fan, preventing the surrounding black mist from getting close.
Seeing this, Tang Nian realized that Song Shiyi was no longer listening to anything, so she had no choice but to abandon the idea of continuing negotiations.
But was Song Shiyi really not seeking revenge?
Tang Nian didn't believe it.
But she still drew her longsword, gripped it tightly in her hand, and stood beside Lou Mu, her hair moving without wind.
Even though Song Shiyi had become a vengeful ghost, he could only deal with ordinary people. He was powerless to fight against the two people in front of him all at once.
At first she was able to find a way to cope, but after a few minutes she began to feel strained.
Realizing she couldn't defeat the two, she waved her hands, and the pregnant women she controlled suddenly walked towards her, stretching out their arms to pounce on Lou Mu and Tang Nian.
"Song Shiyi!"
Tang Nian noticed that the pregnant women were swinging their swords much less, and in the end, she could only hide the sword behind her back to avoid their attacks.
They can fight demons and monsters, but they cannot harm the ordinary people who are the victims.
Lou Mu is a fox spirit; he cannot kill without cause.
Tang Nian was under the restriction of the Supreme God, so even in the Heaven-Stealing and Sun-Changing Array, she still dared not make any rash moves.
Lou Mu grabbed the shoulder blade of the person in front of him and used the momentum to leap to the other side: "Hurry up!"
Tang Nian instantly understood his intention. Taking advantage of the fact that most of the pregnant women's attention was on Lou Mu, she returned to the riverbank and began to ponder the formation they had developed at the inn.
Now, trapping Song Shiyi is no longer of any use; the only option is to keep her here.
Tang Nian objected; she wished Song Shiyi would personally kill that beastly Cui Wensong.
But with so many innocent people around, she couldn't act recklessly.
"Charge!"
Song Shiyi had already expended a lot of energy, and now his struggles were getting weaker and weaker.
Just as things were about to succeed, two footsteps approached from a distance.
"I knew something big was going to happen. Are you all alright?"
Ming Huan rushed over, followed by a cowering and terrified Cui Wensong.
The latter was still heavily pregnant and leaning back.
It's unclear whether they followed us secretly or were brought by Ming Huan.
Upon seeing her husband's despicable face, Song Shiyi's resentment surged to a fever pitch. She screamed and lunged forward to tear apart the despicable man's hypocritical facade.
"Why did you bring him here! Get out!"
Tang Nian roared angrily, then gritted her teeth and added another talisman, her body radiating a pale blue light, attempting to suppress Song Shiyi.
However, it was no use this time. The resentment on Song Shiyi continued to rise and broke through the shackles in just a few seconds.
The force, which couldn't be controlled, struck Tang Nian directly in the chest, causing her to stagger back a step, a metallic taste filling her throat.
Lou Mu quickly caught Tang Nian, his expression also not very good.
The two watched helplessly as Song Shiyi lunged at the terrified Cui Wensong, one hand outstretched in front of him, claw-like, grabbing his neck.
"ah!"
Before she could even grab anyone, Cui Wensong screamed and struggled to back away, so frightened that she fell to the ground with a thud.
Something was seen pushing and moving outwards on his protruding belly. If it were an ordinary pregnant woman, she might be praised for how energetic her baby was.
No, this child is very energetic now.
The next second, as Cui Wensong frantically stuck out his belly and dared not move, several sharp thorns pierced out of his stomach and continued to extend outwards, revealing themselves to be several tiny fingers.
The sharp fingernails sliced open his stomach from the inside, revealing a fully formed baby girl inside his abdominal cavity.
Her face, covered in blood, still vaguely showed traces of Song Shiyi, especially the shape of her eyebrows and eyes, making her quite recognizable.
Song Shiyi initially only sensed a familiar presence and hesitated before stopping.
If her state of mind upon seeing Choi Moon-song was one of furious rage, then upon seeing her daughter, her emotions descended into uncontrollable excitement, mixed with indescribable ecstasy and regret.
A piercing shriek emanated from her mouth, mixed with the mournful cries of a thousand ghosts, and barely visible tears beneath the water stains on her body.
She was driven to madness by her emotions, but she also thought she would be a good mother, which was the only thing she could rely on in that beautiful dream.
"My child...my child!"
After venting her initial emotions, Song Shiyi let out a mournful cry and stretched out her arms to lunge in that direction.
Suddenly, an arrow pierced the sky, grazed Tang Nian's ear, and left a bloody mark.
Immediately afterwards, the arrow struck the baby squarely between the eyebrows.
The real fire instantly ignited the ghost baby.
Amidst its innocent yet mournful cries, the ghost baby struggled to its feet and finally crawled two steps toward its mother.
As the fire grew larger, it stretched its neck and was completely killed. Even its soul was scorched by the real fire, leaving it no chance to start over.
Tang Nian casually wiped the blood from her ear, then turned her head sharply. She could only vaguely see a person standing on the rooftop across the river.
Upon noticing Tang Nian watching him, he leaped a few times and disappeared into the black mist.
"I'll go after them!" Ming Huan shouted first, then took off into the air and chased after them towards the other side of the river.
Song Shiyi stared in disbelief at the scene before her, her chest heaving, her expression growing increasingly ferocious, and finally, all her emotions turning into a painful scream.
While she was still venting her emotions, Tang Nian endured her physical discomfort and rushed to her from behind. He planted two talisman nails on her shoulders and put a rope around her neck, forming a basic binding array on her body.
But the spell was only halfway through when Song Shiyi suddenly struggled and lunged at the pregnant woman not far away, seemingly intending to attack the civilians.
Tang Nian was shocked and quickly changed the direction of her strength, pulling the ghost towards herself.
What she didn't expect was that this was also part of a scheme.
The moment the binding formation broke, Song Shiyi threw off the rope around his neck, turned and plunged into the river, disappearing upon contact with the water.
At the same time, the pregnant women who were being led around by Lou Mu suddenly appeared in the same dazed state, and then their eyes rolled back and they collapsed unconscious.
Tang Nian initially had the intention to pursue Song Shiyi, but Song Shiyi was a water ghost, and water was her domain.
If I were to go into the water, there was no guarantee that I could find the key in the polluted river, and I might even get injured in the process.
She cannot be a burden to Lou Mu.
After quickly weighing her options, she turned back and went to help Lou Mu lift the pregnant women off the ground.
There were quite a few pregnant women, and they didn't know where to send them for the time being, so they could only take them to a relatively spacious and safe place nearby.
Let's settle things first, and then make other plans when the person wakes up.
"Will these people remember these things after they wake up?" Tang Nian asked with some concern.
Lou Mu looked up at the dark sky: "If the formation isn't removed, they will continue to be controlled by Song Shiyi. Only by getting rid of Song Shiyi can they be saved."
After confirming that the people were not in immediate danger, Tang Nian picked up the charred arrow from the ground: "Can you tell anything from this?"
