Dark clouds press down on the city

e curiously and asked, "Girl, are you taking these roosters for a walk"Some people secretly took photos with their phones, which were blocked by Jiang Qiyun beside me with a spell.Cheng Banxian came r...Black clouds hung like a giant inverted funnel, with a dark red flash of lightning constantly flickering in the hole at the center.

Heavenly phenomena have changed, demons and monsters enter the world.

How can we, those who walk between yin and yang, protect ourselves

A shrill laugh echoed from some corner of the resort, the demon uncaring, while we stood helpless.

Even if one doesn't say that Jiang Qiyun's magic power is not as powerful as in the underworld, where he could display boundless divine powers, even if he could handle these situations, there are still many sleeping living people in this resort.

The soul lamp in my hand is pulling these souls, preventing them from leaving the barrier. And the soul lock he holds is what keeps the living ones sleeping peacefully. If we were to fight, if the soul lock breaks, the living would wake up confused and disoriented. In this barrier where demons swarm, they would likely become sacrifices, cannon fodder.

"Ah... the Qingluan has arrived." Hei Wu Chang frowned, looking at the blue bird circling in the sky.

Qingluan was given to Jiang Qiyun by Taichi, the Supreme God. It is said that she excels at setting up barriers and guarding palaces, which is why she is also one of the palace guardians of the Six Heavens of the Netherworld.

She descended from the heavens, gradually transforming into a human form. She bowed to me and said: "Little Madam, I have come to this small building from the realm of spirits."

"Can we go in and out of this building" I asked.

“Of course you can, I just don't allow those low-level demons to come in and disturb you. But where are you going I just saw that the Emperor is dealing with the rift from the demon realm by opening the Netherworld over there. It happened last time too, as soon as their demons came out, they were swept away by the Netherworld…”

"Is it common for the Underworld and the Demon Realm to have such situations" I asked.

"It's not often, but it's not unfamiliar either. I've experienced it a few times." Qingluan comforted me with a smile: "Don't worry, we will protect you well."

Thus, I feel a bit guilty... Using so many Underworld Honored Gods to protect me, and yet I can't do anything in return.

"You protect yourself and the soul well, it won't be easy!" Qingluan glared, "Such an important matter, the Emperor entrusted you with it, don't make any mistakes."

These souls, in life many were those who indulged in luxury and pleasure. Their willpower was inherently weak. As you protect yourself, dispelling their karmic debts for them, you must also keep these souls stable. Demons are very skilled at beguiling the hearts of people—

As soon as Qingluan's voice fell, a muffled thunder suddenly rolled overhead from the top of their heads.

The thunder roared and boomed, making the window panes tremble.

This is the hot spring area. The outdoor hot springs are steaming with mist, and I can't see Jiang Qiyun's figure.

Do not lose your composure.

This was Jiang Qiyun's instruction. I took a few steps back and sat down on the bench again.

Cultivation is truly not easy. It's not just about following rules and regulations, but also constantly paying attention to restraining one's own mind and nature.

When I was eighteen or nineteen, I would be flustered and at a loss when faced with such situations. Now that I'm a few years older, I shouldn't be so flustered anymore.

As I thought this through, I sat cross-legged on the bench, placing my soul lamp beside me and holding up my hands in a gesture.

The universe is in the hand, and all things are born from the body.

Before Jiang Qiyun taught me the basics of cultivation, he focused on refining Qi, which is commonly known as "building a foundation in one hundred days".

This isn't about a literal 100 days, but rather that the foundation of this skill takes time and effort to build properly.

If I have some free time before bed every day, I try to learn how to "forget-sitting."

The people around me, including my brother, often joke that Jiang Qiyun has "raised" me well. It's not just about the conjugal affairs between husband and wife, but also because he supervises my cultivation.

After cultivating to a certain level, practitioners' ears become sharp and their eyes clear. Their appearance and mental state will also undergo transformations.

It will make one's skin appear lustrous and radiant, with a complexion like jade. Even in old age, it will give an ethereal and refined air.

I cultivate not for the pursuit of longevity, nor for the pursuit of Daoist methods. I just want to be able to keep up with Jiang Qiyun's pace and not always be a burden to him.

Boom....

Another clap of thunder.

I closed my eyes and listened intently. I heard my brother's hushed voice from a distance saying that the thunder was really frightening, and it had started rumbling ominously.

The Qingluan interface said, perhaps the divine beings from the upper realm sensed the chaos in the world and sent their divine generals to inspect it

Their voices grew fainter and fainter, I clasped my hands in the yin-yang embrace, silently reciting the Pure Heart Mantra.

The soul lamps around me seemed to sense the change in my aura. The chaotic wisps of smoke gradually calmed down and rose steadily.

Shhh... I heard my brother give a hush command, and they all fell silent.

No matter what's going on outside this building, Jiang Qiyun gave me this soul-calling lamp and told me not to be flustered. I should do my best to guard this thing well.

"Hey hey... watch out!" My brother's voice suddenly rang out.

A gust of wind rushed in through the window and suddenly stopped before me.

I dare not open my eyes, I'm afraid that the moment I do, I'll be filled with fear and panic again. I grip the lampstand in one hand and the Zi Xiao Ruyi in the other.

Whispering a spell in my heart, I conjure the sword energy of the Zijiao Ruyi.

"Hmph... this Ruyi of yours is quite troublesome, we've got it in our hands but can't use it for anything, and can't even destroy it. Hmph... truly, there are such artifacts in this world" A mocking voice echoed not far from me.

This voice is...Chong Mo! He can actually materialize!

Have the cracks in space widened enough for him to escape

"Supreme celestial star, responding to changes without ceasing... Driving away evil and binding demons, protecting life and body..." I recited the divine incantation with my eyes closed.

Chong Mo let out a mocking laugh. "Don't bother, your husband is too busy to save you."

I blinked slowly, a bit dazed. This… this young-looking man, with two weapons on his back and dark armor etched with patterns, was Chong Mo

He grinned wickedly, his eyes flashing red: “How… just because I don’t have a shell anymore, you don’t recognize me Your husband slashed me twice, and I’m still on you. That’s reasonable, isn’t it”

"You—" I just opened my mouth, and he quickly drew a long sword. The blade flashed with sword energy, slicing my chair in half!

I almost fell, I quickly steadied the lamp in my hand and looked back at my brother and them.

The outer barrier was actually broken through by him, and the Yin officials and ghost attendants were all surprised, surrounding him.

"How did you get in! The barrier... the barrier is already set up!" Qingluan exclaimed, she held a luminous artifact in her hand, it should be her barrier artifact.

Chong Mo took out a small thing from his bosom, tossed it in his hand, and grinned: “Didn’t I tell you Your blood is really useful… Mu Xiao Qiao, do you remember this doll stained with your blood”

Of course I remember, the first time you caught me, a little monster snatched this thing and ran back into the spatial rift.

"What do you want to do" My brother stood beside me, half his body shielding me.

Chong Mo raised an eyebrow, sizing up my brother carefully before letting out a sneer. "You two siblings are quite peculiar. You possess mortal bodies yet can interact with ghosts and spirits. Hmph... Having interacted with you both many times, it's best to obediently submit to me and fall into my hands rather than someone else's."

"What obedience, what falls into your hands, Qiao is not a tool you fight over," my brother said with a frown.

"Oh Wasn't she a tool of the Underworld before either How, with such a little bit of cultivation, do you truly think you are the Underworld Immortal Queen Hmph, nothing but relying on the fact that you're more 'special.'"

“……a coffin made entirely of pure Yin... Is there really such a coincidence Even if there is, how could it coincidentally appear in the world when the sealing array against evil spirits is about to collapse Hmph... That's why I say, you mortals are so easily deceived!” I became rather outspoken."Qi Yun, are you angry that I said those things before Rape, torture, coercion, renting out a womb… those angry words"I have some regrets.At that time, I didn't understand h...
