Seeing Black Impermanence satisfied, Ji Jing breathed a sigh of relief. “What do you think?”
Most Yin Chi have been gone for years, and not many descendants continue to make offerings to them, so they were often in need of these gold, silver, and incense offerings. With these offerings, would Yin Chi cooperate with them?
The individuals on the second floor also grew bolder and stuck their heads out.
Black Impermanence, however, threw them all off guard. After accepting the offerings and incense, he suddenly sneered, “You have no evidence regarding the missing soul-binding locks, and the Netherworld will not take responsibility based on your word alone. I only see that this place is surrounded by evil spirits, and according to the law, they must be eliminated.”
As Black Impermanence spoke, he let go of his chain, which instantly extended, and it sped through the wide-open door, swiftly ensnaring all the evil spirits.
Indeed, when it came to dealing with evil spirits, the tools that the Yin Chi of
the Netherworld had were incredibly effective.
“Little Daoist,” Black Impermanence’s cold gaze precisely swept over the paper effigy and the Taotie on the second floor, “in light of your merit in notifying us, take yourself and your friends and leave this place. I will take care of eliminating all the evil spirits.”
The banging and crashing outside suddenly ceased, and the individuals inside the room clearly felt the long-lost silence. However, their expressions turned even grimmer.
“So your intention is not to acknowledge your negligence and instead rush to destroy the evidence?” Ji Jing stood up straight, her eyes filled with coldness.
As expected, she thought to herself, Yin Chi from the Netherworld and humans are hard to coexist with.
“It’s up to you,” Black Impermanence responded with indifference. He had clearly caught a headache from humans, one by one, who insisted on being so difficult.
“Intervene!” Ji Jing clenched her teeth, blocking Black Impermanence’s wrist.
Who gave him the right? Clearly, it was the Netherworld’s negligence. They had lost the soul-binding locks, leading to the loss of the souls. They remained quiet for so many years upon the discovery, and now they wanted to kill them all just because they had been found?
What about those innocent souls?
“Do you dare to defy fate by interfering?” Black Impermanence said coldly. He couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised by Ji Jing’s actions. Humans were indeed troublesome, always so strict.
“Defy fate?” Ji Jing sneered. She then heard the rumbling of thunder outside.
Well, if this was fate, it had come too late. It chose to appear when she wanted to save these few remaining souls, clearly taking a side.
If this was fate, she would defy it!
Ji Jing drew her longsword and quickly sliced her hand, allowing the fresh blood to flow down the blade. Traditional soul-releasing formations didn’t work well with such a large group of evil spirits. So she used blood to draw the formation.
“Stop!” Black Impermanence abruptly tried to withdraw his chain, but the Taotie rushed toward him and said, “Don’t even think about it. Once the soul-locking tools are used, you can forget about getting them back!” Its beastly eyes glared intently at Black Impermanence.
“Tsk,” Black Impermanence shook his hand impatiently. This was too troublesome.. How had this Daoist managed to find such a troublesome group of people?
