Compared to the tense standoff between Shen and Ji, Tianning was in a harmonious atmosphere.
Tianning asked, "Have you seen my senior brothers and sisters?"
Zhou Han said they had seen Jiang Xi. Because Jiang Xi had difficulty moving around due to her eyesight, Fu Hongming found an inn, paid for it, and let Jiang Xi stay there temporarily. He also left his master with him.
As for Fu Hongming and the others, there is no news yet; they are probably still in the capital.
Although the capital city is large, it shouldn't be without news for so long. I wonder if something has happened?
Logically speaking, even if their cultivation levels were suppressed, the two senior brothers and sisters, both sword cultivators and one saber cultivator, possessed physiques comparable to the top martial arts masters in the world. Under normal circumstances, they shouldn't encounter any danger. Unless something... happens in the imperial city.
"What are you doing here?" Tianning continued to ask.
Duanmuqiao hurriedly told Tianning, "They said that this Chen Nianyi is very likely the one who kidnapped Jiaojiao!"
He stopped worrying about it and asked sincerely, "Junior Sister Tianning, what do you think?"
Although Tianning is often a complete scoundrel, he is also quite eccentric. Rather than analyzing this for a long time without any results, Duanmuqiao really wants to hear what Tianning has to say.
Tian Ning waved his hand, indicating that he didn't know either.
While they were chatting, no fight broke out over there. Perhaps the intimidation from Chen Nianyi earlier had worked, as the scene remained completely silent.
It was the Crown Prince's confidants who couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted them to help, saying, "Although we cannot immediately help you immortals find your companions, you have all seen the abnormalities at Jingguan Temple. If we allow evil practices like Chen Nianyi to continue, it is unimaginable what kind of suffering the people will endure!"
"Even though we mortals live in the human realm, we often hear our elders talk about how the immortals in the cultivation world put the well-being of all people first, eliminating demons and saving the world! We beg you immortals to join us in dealing with this witch, Shen Nianyi!"
Everyone: "..."
How did things turn into this moral blackmail tactic?
And yet, he even had someone with him acting in his shoes.
The cultivator who had been kicked to the ground by Chen Nian was helped up. Upon hearing what the prince's confidant said, he immediately raised his peach wood sword and echoed, "That's right! We cultivators must not back down in the face of such a vixen!"
The others, who were originally going to politely suggest that they shouldn't get involved in mortal karma without good reason, were speechless. What about pointing them out?
Sensing something was wrong, and while everyone else was trying to avoid the situation, Tianning went over to join the fun.
Zhou Mengya wanted to join in like a little chick, but Zhou Han forcibly pulled her back.
In a short while, the serious expressions of the disciples instantly relaxed. For no other reason than that Tian Ning had entered the fray!
Tianning didn't shirk the responsibility the other party mentioned. She immediately took the lead: "Since that's the case, for the sake of peace in this world, we must do something. Let's start by eliminating the vengeful spirits in Jingguan Temple!"
As she spoke, she walked straight toward the house where the vengeful spirits gathered.
The Crown Prince's confidant advised, "This female immortal... as the saying goes, to catch the thief, first catch the king. To prevent Shen Nianyi from controlling these vengeful spirits to harm innocent people, we should naturally deal with her first!"
“But I didn’t sense anything wrong with her,” Tian Ning said seriously, stopping outside the house. “On the contrary, these vengeful spirits are a real problem that needs to be solved.”
Some cultivators, thinking she was about to open the door, quickly stopped her, saying, "You junior, stop right now!"
“This Jingguan Temple is home to hundreds of vengeful spirits. It’s not just because of the Buddhist hall that it’s suppressed; the walls of this building are also engraved with runes to prevent these spirits from escaping and harming the world! If you keep touching things like this, what if a vengeful spirit escapes…”
“There’s no need for that,” Tian Ning said, raising his hand. “Since it’s a vengeful spirit, we can just perform a ritual to release it from its slumber.”
That's wishful thinking!
Those are hundreds of vengeful spirits; how could they possibly be delivered in a short time?!
However, they didn't even have a chance to react.
Tian Ning's fist slammed purposefully into the house that was trapping the vengeful spirit. With a loud 'boom,' the house, bearing the weight of the impact, crumbled into bricks and rubble in the blink of an eye, right before everyone's eyes. It collapsed!
Those present who lacked cultivation were unaware of what was about to happen.
Coral Guardian, pulling at Chen Nian, said urgently, "Not good! Messenger, we must leave here immediately!"
The expressions of the cultivators on Ji Qianqiu's side changed drastically!
She broke the runes on the wall, which would release all the vengeful spirits in the house!
This is insane! This is insane!
This girl who suddenly appeared is absolutely insane! With what she's doing, everyone present is going to be in trouble!
As the house collapsed completely, the previously suppressed vengeful spirits were no longer restrained. They immediately gathered within Jingguan Temple, filling the temple with overwhelming resentment. Although it was still morning and the sun was shining brightly, the hatred of countless vengeful spirits gathered above everyone's heads, blocking out the sunlight. In an instant, everyone felt as if they were in the dark, a chilling coldness spreading throughout their bodies.
The vengeful spirits, who have long lost their self-awareness, are equally filled with murderous intent and wish for everyone to die!
