Half-asleep, Zhao Cai saw Zhu Yi and Jin Bao get off the small spaceship. Zhu Yi's red eyes looked terrible, but Zhao Cai couldn't even let out a weak meow. It could only let Zhu Yi carefully and gently hold it in her arms and check its wounds.
The Buddhist lamp flickered with the light of the candle, and the evil spirits around dared not approach easily. The ferocious beasts in the five directions roared incessantly, and when the light shone on them, they involuntarily took a half step back.
Seeing this, Qing Shang took out a top-grade magic stone to help the ghost of the Soul Devouring Array attack Zhu Yi.
However, no matter how he chanted incantations and gave commands, the ghosts inside the Soul Devouring Array seemed to have encountered some evil creature even more sinister than themselves, trembling and stopping, refusing to advance even an inch.
"Huh? Even the Great Protector makes mistakes?" Chi Su, with the mentality of not watching the show, gloated from the sidelines.
Look, this is the demon race. Most of them don't help each other; they find pleasure in mocking one another.
Qing Shang ignored Chi Su. The longer he dealt with these demons, the more he felt that their selfishness and self-interest were beyond redemption. However, it was precisely this that allowed him to make good use of them and profit from them.
"Bring wealth! Bring wealth!" Jinbao called out anxiously twice, but it quickly realized something was wrong.
Zhao Cai's soul flew out of his body and headed towards the top of the Soul Devouring Array with the ghosts.
Jinbao sniffed, sensing the change in the power of Zhaocai's spirit.
"Why does the spirit of Zhaocai have such a strong smell of blood?"
"Oh no! So the enemy intends to use the Wealth-Attracting Beast as the commanding beast of the Soul-Devouring Array!"
Cats correspond to the White Tiger and also govern the underworld; they are spirit beasts born with the ability to summon spirits.
The opponent's deployment of the Soul-Devouring Array, composed of the afterimages of the five ancient ferocious beasts, is clearly intended to subdue the demonized Zhaocai and use it as a medium for him to command the vengeful spirits!
"This silly cat! You won't find a single spirit beast cat more powerful than this one in the entire cultivation world!"
It's rare for the simple-minded Jinbao to call Zhaocai silly, but if you listen carefully, although it's a word of reproach, it's full of heartache.
Jinbao reacted quickly. It twirled its folding fan and fluttered like a butterfly, landing lightly in front of the Zhaocai spirit. In the blink of an eye, it grew larger and blocked the demonized Zhaocai spirit's path.
Led by the ethereal spirit of Zhao Cai, the group of vengeful spirits walked ahead. When they encountered a familiar large fan blocking their path, the spirit became extremely agitated, shouting, "Meow!!"
Jinbao could tell that this was the howling Zhaocai made when he was irritable.
"Woof woof! Zhaocai must have suffered a lot here!"
Jinbao wiped away the tears in his eyes and carefully smelled his surroundings. There were ashes from raging fire, mud and sand from the floodwaters of the underworld, and the scent of lightning strikes and sword cuts.
"The Wealth-Bringing Blessing is covered in wounds, but it has been protecting the old woman all along!"
Zhu Yi quickly bandaged up Zhao Cai's mangled body before heading to the old woman, who was lying on a small hill in the middle of the formation, barely breathing. Her body looked relatively clean.
Tears welled up in her eyes without her even realizing it.
With a cinnabar brush, Zhu Yi quickly drew an exorcising and demon-slaying talisman that was not found in the cultivation world. His brushstrokes were divine, flowing like dragons and snakes, radiating spiritual power.
She chanted incantations and moved with measured steps, performing an ancient shamanistic dance for blessing and exorcising demons.
The opponent is too strong, so Zhu Yi has no choice but to gamble with these things!
The colorful ribbons adorning the peach wood sword hilt shone brightly, and with the flickering candlelight of the Buddhist lamp, the ordinary peach wood sword now radiated a holy light that terrified vengeful spirits.
"You're quite an interesting little girl. This is the first time I've ever seen your footwork."
Qing Shang, with his Mahayana stage cultivation, didn't take Zhu Yi, a mere Golden Core stage cultivator, seriously.
"Unfortunately, today I intend to refine the little black cat for my own use. Having two more of you would only add a bit of fun for me!"
"I went to great lengths to find this little black cat, how could I let it go so easily?"
Jinbao transformed into his original form and stood in front of the giant fan, fiercely fighting with the horde of vengeful spirits. "Zhaocai! Wake up! Don't be bewitched by evil spirits, quickly return to your body!"
"Meow!" Get out of my way, you stupid dog! Don't block my path! I'm going to become the leader of the demon vengeful spirits! Don't stop me!
Zhao Cai had no patience to listen to what Jin Bao was saying; he mustered all his strength to walk toward the pair of red eyes in mid-air.
Jinbao gradually dealt with the vengeful spirits following Zhaocai, but he was also worried about harming Zhaocai's soul, so he was a little anxious.
"We'll take you back to eat grilled fish! We'll fish in Lotus Lake. Haven't you been craving those little carp? We'll kill them when we get back!"
Cold sweat dripped from Big Tongue's mouth. His snow-white body was clad in a pale gold cicada-wing protective suit. Jinbao sighed, "Thanks to my junior sister for putting this protective suit on me, otherwise I would have been eaten alive by these vengeful spirits! Woof!"
Zhaocai still ignored Jinbao, and Jinbao blocked its way, preventing it from moving forward.
Zhao Cai was a little annoyed. Its scarlet eyes were filled with black energy. It swung its claws at Jin Bao, who barely managed to dodge by somersaulting. Jin Bao looked aggrieved and kept whimpering.
Qing Shang's arrogant words were particularly unpleasant to Zhu Yi.
She parted her lips slightly and raised her voice to Qing Shang, who was hiding in the shadows, saying, "What kind of skill is it for you to hide in the shadows like a rat?"
"Whether it works or not, we'll only know by trying!" Zhu Yi's hands moved swiftly, and small golden lotuses, imbued with righteous energy, fell around her, continuously expanding.
"Overestimating yourself!" Qing Shang's cold tone was filled with an arrogant and unruly tone. "I have searched the entire cultivation world, and only this little black cat has caught my eye. It is my blessing that it can become a demon and serve me."
"Lucky you, my foot! It'll be your good fortune if I throw you into the Demon Refining Pool!"
"Those who fall from the sky, those who rise from the earth, those who come from the four directions, all shall be freed from my net!"
As soon as the incantation was uttered, the peach wood sword, which had already accumulated power, was ready at any moment.
