After a few days, everyone finally arrived at a forest in the western part. The Death Qi here seed quite heavy; one could feel the chill upon entering.
"Ruyan, will they be here?" Dugu Qianye walked at the front of the group, hand in hand with Xiaohuo, alongside Ruyan.
Baili Ruyan nodded and said, "This is the place. That’s always how Yecha is; even if he knows there’s trouble, he won’t change his ways because he believes he will ultimately win."
"Ruyan, you still understand as always," a voice sounded, as if coming from all directions.
Everyone tensed up and looked around but found no one.
Baili Ruyan was very familiar with this voice; her previous status had much to do with him.
"Uncle Yecha, always so confident! Perhaps after dominating for so many years, you’ve forgotten that outcos are often out of your control," Baili Ruyan said.
"As long as there’s power, everything is controllable, isn’t it? Ruyan, uncle has loved you for so many years, do you really intend to cross swords with ?"
"Uncle Yecha, we both know very well how you treated before. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have had those titles in the past few years, right?! Out of the many years we’ve known each other, just co back with , and we won’t have to cross swords. If you insist on this, then I’m sorry," Baili Ruyan shrugged and said.
"Heh heh, just fifteen more days. With only fifteen days, we can go to the outside world. There are so many resources there, so many delicious humans, unlike that place, where there’s nothing! Your brother, with his status, can go anywhere he likes, but what about us? Are we to gnaw on rocks in that scorched place?" Yecha said, growing excited, "To leave that place, I’ve been planning for over a hundred years, since the day you were born. I knew, spoiling you, you’d surely cause trouble, and when he goes to deal with it, that will be my great opportunity to leave. Haha, I didn’t expect you to live up to my expectations so well, turning the place upside down and even making him seclude himself for so long. My opportunity, it ca just like that!"
Baili Ruyan didn’t speak, just listened quietly, as if all that was said had nothing to do with her. In truth, she could hardly claim those actions as her own, but they were also hers; after all, she was the sa person, it’s just that now her soul was whole and she was no longer the foolish, infatuated person of before.
"Even if you do co out, what then?" Baili Ruyan said coldly.
"There are flowers and green trees here, so many Spiritual Beasts, and delicious human flesh. Now that I’m out, I have no intention of returning to that corner! I’ve already been out for so long, stayed in this Secret Realm for so long. Just fifteen more days, and I’ll be able to show them the outside world. Girl, tell , do you think I’d go back with you? Haha!"
Baili Ruyan twirled the knife in her hand and said, "Uncle Yecha, whether or not to go back is not for you alone to decide, is it? Since none of you want to go back, then just stay here, all of you."
Having said that, Baili Ruyan unleashed a Sword Qi upwards at an angle, and where there was no anomaly in the air, a row of ghostly figures appeared, their waists severed by Baili Ruyan’s Sword Qi.
"Ah!" A chorus of screams arose.
The Yaksha saw Baili Ruyan’s actions and wasn’t angry. He said, "I didn’t expect that in such a short ti, your powers have grown so much! Not bad! But just because you can find them doesn’t necessarily an you can find . Your ti left here isn’t much, right? I hope you can find all of us before that."
Baili Ruyan swung her sword again and said, "I will definitely find you. Once you’re dead, they will naturally disappear. I do know that if they want to co out with you, they must be contracted with you."
The Yaksha hidden in the air frowned, not expecting her to know even that.
"Then I’ll wait for you," the Yaksha said and then fell silent. No one knew where he was now; he could be right in this forest, or perhaps on so distant mountaintop.
After the Yaksha stopped talking, Dugu Qianye and the others were quickly surrounded. The scale of this ti could be said to be enormous, with tens of thousands of ghosts, Skeleton Army, Corrosion Giants, and other species they hadn’t seen before all encircling them.
"Heaven, so many?!" soone shouted out loud.
Just as they thought they were bound to die today, Baili Ruyan flew up into the air, her hands forming seals, her mouth chanting incantations. Soon, a large number of ghosts and such also appeared behind her.
Dugu Qianye looked at Baili Ruyan’s troops, feeling a pang in her heart. To subdue those, she must have suffered a lot of hardships. Because Ruyan had said, you must defeat each one by one, ta each one by one, unless it’s like the Yaksha who’s tempted by interests. Baili Ruyan definitely wouldn’t do such a thing, so she must have defeated them all!
After Baili Ruyan’s ghosts ca out, they directly rushed up to fight with the Yaksha’s ghosts. It was only effective when attacking the sa species.
Xiaohuo reverted to its original form, and Dugu Qianye summoned her Contract Beast and leaped onto Xiaohuo’s back. They approached Baili Ruyan and said, "I’ll play the zither in a bit to control them, and you take the opportunity to clean up."
Baili Ruyan nodded, put away her broadsword, then condensed a whip and lashed it at the skeletons and giants below.
Dugu Qianye sat on Xiaohuo, weaving through the air. She took out her Charm, this ti the piece she would play wasn’t for attack, but for controlling the opponent’s brain. Slowing down the opponent’s brain reaction speed to control their movents. And Xiaohuo, besides carrying Dugu Qianye, would also take the chance to spew out flas and burn those disgusting things straight away.
The mont Dugu Qianye started playing the guzheng, everyone had a mont of disorientation, but Dugu Qianye quickly got the rhythm and controlled her lody to affect only the ghosts.
Baili Ruyan sotis flew down to the ground, swinging her broadsword fiercely at the monsters’ heads, and sotis surged into the air, condensing her whip, sweeping away large groups with each strike. Her strong points were originally these two, and now with Dugu Qianye’s music lending aid, the monsters’ movents were slow, making her extermination even more efficient.
Seeing how powerful Dugu Qianye and Baili Ruyan were, those below didn’t want to be outdone and used Fire Spiritual Techniques to deal with the enemies before them. Those who didn’t cultivate Fire Spiritual Energy or didn’t have Fire Spiritual Beasts were barred from entering the forest by Dugu Qianye and Baili Ruyan beforehand. Such people were useless after entering and would drag everyone down. Actually, it was also for their safety.
The battle continued for a long ti; the ghosts seed endless, as more appeared as soon as so were destroyed, and many people’s Spiritual Power began to run low. Fortunately, Dugu Qianye and the people from the Alchemist Guild had given them many Spirit Revitalizing Pills, allowing them to quickly recover their Spiritual Power when it was exhausted.
