Yu Holea released another ghost, her movents calm but deliberate.
This ti, she attached an invisible talisman to its form, the faint shimr of energy from her spell barely noticeable. She leaned closer, whispering instructions.
"Be cautious. Scout the area, but prioritize your safety. Don’t engage."
The ghost nodded silently, its glowing figure fading slightly as it passed through the temple’s entrance.
Inside, the temple’s shadows seed to shift unnaturally, as though alive.
The second ghost floated cautiously through the hall, the faint runes on the walls pulsing like a heartbeat.
It avoided the statues this ti, keeping to the edges of the room.
However, as it moved further inside, a low hum began to fill the air.
The sound wasn’t coming from the statues but from the ground itself.
The ghost hesitated, glancing back as if to reconsider its mission, but the talisman on it pulsed softly, reminding it of its duty.
The hum grew louder, turning into a vibrating force.
Suddenly, the statues ca to life, their closed eyes snapping open one by one. The sa eerie light from before poured out, scanning the room.
The ghost froze, hoping to avoid detection.
For a mont, it seed to work—the beams of light passed by, their focus elsewhere.
But just as the ghost began to move again, the largest statue from the center turned its head.
It had noticed.
The ghost tried to retreat, gliding quickly toward the entrance, but the statue raised its hand.
The air crackled, and a web of golden energy shot out, trapping the ghost in its glow.
The talisman Yu Holea had placed flared brightly, trying to protect the ghost, but the energy was too strong.
The ghost writhed, its form flickering as the energy consud it. In seconds, it was gone, the talisman disintegrating alongside it.
Outside, Yu Holea felt the bond snap again. Her hand clenched into a fist, her expression darkening.
"Destroyed again..." she muttered, frustration lacing her voice.
"Let see..." Qiao Jun said.
Yu Holea held his hand and stopped him, "No. Don’t."
Qiao Jun calmly patted Yu Holea’s hand and said with a smirk, "Don’t worry nothing will happen to ."
"No. You don’t understand! If the thing inside could easily detect the presence of a ghost which was invisible on top of it, it would easily detect your presence."
Qiao Jun looked at Yu Holea, his smirk fading as he saw the seriousness in her eyes.
"Then what do you suggest?" he asked, lowering his hand.
Yu Holea took a mont to think,
"Let’s co back with a plan. If we stay here and try to co up with a tactic, god knows when we will be able to figure out anything."
It wasn’t that she was afraid to enter the temple.
Yu Holea was sure that she could enter the temple and surpass all the obstacles inside, but...what lies after that, was still unknown to her.
What was even more outrageous was...if her guess was right, the temple was equipped with items powerful beyond the world in which she was living.
How could the temple be able to escape the heavens?
Yu Holea decided to report their existence to the Goddess City.
It’s alright if humans can’t deal with the temple, the people in goddess city could easily do so.
The reality was, that Yu Holea was the weakest person in Goddess City.
However, when she arrived in the Goddess City, other goddesses were affected by corrupt energy, so their cultivation was suppressed.
After all those goddesses had cultivated more than her.
So even cultivated for more than 1000 years!
How can she, who has only cultivated for 5 or so years, compare to them?
The only silver lining was, they weren’t against Yu Holea and were even thankful for her.
She could ask them for a favor and they would agree.
Yu Holea asked Qiao Jun to close the array and left with him.
After reporting all of her findings, Yu Holea reported about the existence of the temple to the Goddess and continued with her daily life.
Due to the death of Xin Zhi, many of the scenes were reshot.
