In that instant, Ye Jintang felt the chill around her grow even stronger.
Before her eyes kept replaying the scenes of the original owner being bullied in the Marquis's mansion for the past two years, as well as her final fate.
A sense of sorrow welled up within Ye Jintang, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, admitting that this formation was indeed quite something.
It can conjure up painful memories from the depths of people's hearts, but it misses one thing: those memories belong to the original owner, not hers.
Trying to use these methods against oneself is utterly ridiculous.
She cut her finger, and blood dripped onto the talisman.
In that instant, the talisman seemed to come alive as it danced in the air, and Ye Jintang silently chanted the incantation.
With a single utterance of the word "break," it sounded as if something around them shattered.
The formation vanished at that moment, and Ye Jintang quickly arrived at the center of the altar and picked up the bead.
This bead… Ye Jintang frowned. The moment she touched the bead, she could feel countless malevolent energies drilling into her body.
If an ordinary person were to come into contact with it, they would likely be instantly turned into its puppet.
Unfortunately... the bead that continuously emits malevolent energy is untouchable to others, but it is a rare treasure to her.
Ye Jintang curled her lips and was about to put the bead into her spatial storage when a mist suddenly rose around her.
Amidst the mist, a man dressed in black robes emerged. His gaze fell upon the beads in Ye Jintang's hand, and he was shocked to see that Ye Jintang's eyes were clear and she did not appear to be affected by the evil aura.
"You can touch it directly?"
"Little girl, put down this bead, and I'll spare your life." After the initial shock, the man in black robes still spoke to Ye Jintang in a condescending tone.
Ye Jintang scoffed, "Since I can be here, do I need your forgiveness?"
"I should be the one saying that. What is your purpose in turning these living people into puppets?"
After obtaining the bead, Ye Jintang was basically certain that all the strange things that had happened in the village were probably related to this man in black robes.
Including those puppets that ambushed the Empress Dowager in the woods that day, they were probably made by the same hand.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
The man in black robes attacked immediately, clearly unwilling to offer any further explanation to Ye Jintang; every move he made was a killing blow.
To the man in black robes' surprise, his attacks had no effect on Ye Jintang, and the murderous aura even disappeared instantly just before it was about to strike her.
"Little girl, you actually know the mystical arts!"
The man in the black robe was shocked.
"Oh."
Ye Jintang immediately intervened, saying, "It's too late to realize this now."
Since we can't get any useful information from this man in black robes, keeping him around will only cause trouble.
It's better to just solve it directly.
Ye Jintang once again activated her spiritual power, and as she chanted the incantation, the spiritual power transformed into ropes that tightened around the man in black robes.
"you……"
Before the man in black robes could speak again, he had already vanished.
With a clatter, a round bone fell to the ground.
It seems that the black-robed man from earlier was a puppet made from round bones.
interesting.
To be able to transform objects into shapes, someone with such an ability must be no ordinary person. It seems this book is not so simple and there are still some unknowns.
However, she believed that since she had transmigrated into this book, many things were not accidental.
If we continue investigating along the lines of the source, we may find many unexpected discoveries.
As for this bead, it belongs to her.
Ye Jintang put the bead into his spatial storage, and the surrounding mist completely disappeared. All the people who were fighting returned to normal and looked at each other with blank expressions.
How are you?
Ye Ling quickly came to Ye Jintang's side, her eyes filled with worry.
"It's alright."
Ye Jintang replied.
"Miss Ye, what just happened..."
The moment Ye Jintang appeared, the dark clouds swirling overhead instantly dissipated, and people began to emerge. When they saw Leng Yi and the guards, they looked puzzled and asked, "Who are you people, and what are you doing here?"
Leng Yi stepped forward first, and only after confirming that everyone had returned to normal did he explain his purpose to them.
Soon, an elderly man with white hair, leaning on a cane, came out from among the villagers, full of gratitude towards Leng Yi and the others.
"Thank you so much, my benefactors. If it weren't for your rescue, we would probably already be..."
According to these villagers, the white-haired old man was clearly the village chief.
“Village chief, you’re too kind. It was not us who actually came to our rescue, but this Miss Ye.”
Ye Jintang stepped forward and said, "Village Chief, could you tell me what happened here before?"
The village chief sighed, "Some time ago, we found that the river had turned black and we thought something was strange. In addition, some strange things happened frequently afterward. In order to find out the reason, we thought about finding a Taoist priest to come and take a look."
"We don't remember what happened after that."
"I don't think that Taoist priest is a good person either!"
Ye Jintang lowered her eyes and asked the village chief again, "Is the Taoist priest you're talking about a man dressed in black robes?"
"Indeed, young lady, do you know the whereabouts of that person?"
"He has received the punishment he deserves."
Ye Jintang replied that these villagers were all ordinary people, and saying too much about the man in black robes would only cause panic.
Besides, the matter has already been resolved.
"Your Highness, I'll leave this place to you. Green Lotus is waiting for me elsewhere."
Ye Jintang realized that he had been out for some time.
"I will go with you."
Ye Ling knew that the Green Lotus Ye Jintang mentioned was the maid who had always been by her side.
Ye Jintang said nothing more. The villagers were even more shocked after learning Ye Ling's identity, and some even knelt down before him.
"Leng Yi, I'm leaving things here to you."
Ye Ling glanced in Leng Yi's direction and gave him instructions.
"yes."
Leng bowed and accepted.
Ye Jintang returned to the house where Lühe and the woman were.
The two people inside the house became somewhat nervous upon hearing the noise outside.
"Who goes there!" Green Lotus shouted warily, already holding her tools. If anyone with ill intentions tried to break in, she would not be polite.
"It's me."
Ye Jintang answered.
Upon hearing the sound, Lühe quickly put down her tools, moved the things blocking the doorway, and opened the door with a joyful expression on her face.
"Miss, you're back!"
When Green Lotus wanted to ask something more, she discovered that Ye Jintang had not returned alone; there were other people with her.
“Your Highness the Regent?” Green Lotus recognized the other party’s identity and bowed to him.
What is the reason for His Highness's presence here?
As Green Lotus wondered what was going on, the woman came out and was relieved to see Ye Jintang return.
But upon seeing the people behind her, they were even more shocked and exclaimed, "Village Chief?"
"And you guys... are you all alright?"
