Chapter 385: Who Dares to Act Reckless Before the Hell Lord?

In the face of continuous persuasion, Ming Ying tightened her hold on her daughter even more. This was the flesh that had fallen from her own body; she would rather lose her life than let go.

Changying felt a pang of regret; this situation meant she would be responsible for dispersing two souls, accumulating significant karmic debt. The blood talisman had already flown forward, making a crisp sound as it hit Ming Ying and her daughter. Even though Ming Ying tried to shield the little fourth miss with her own body, the talisman’s power enveloped them both. The red light penetrated their bodies, threatening to tear apart their souls.

Ming Ying felt intense pain throughout her body and screamed, cold sweat pouring off her. The little fourth miss, in her arms, cried even louder, her cries shaking the heavens.

Seeing their souls about to be torn apart, Yao Sheng was ecstatic. It was time! He rushed forward, eager to completely take over The little fourth miss’s body. The light orb was about to fully enter.

Ming Ying, with a last bit of consciousness, tried to reach out and stop it, but her soul was fragmenting, leaving her unable to move. The light orb entered her daughter’s body!

The crying became quieter. Ming Ying’s heart grew heavy with despair, tears streaming down her face. She couldn’t hold on any longer; her soul was being torn apart, and her consciousness was fading into darkness. Inside, she cried out—could anyone save her daughter? She vowed to dedicate her life to prayers and vegetarianism if someone would save her child.

At that moment, a cold wind swept through the room.

"Ancestor, it’s here!"

A shadow appeared, accompanied by a cold female voice, and a yellow talisman was released: "Nature of heaven and earth, disperse the filth!"

Changying’s expression changed immediately upon seeing the talisman: "It’s a talisman to ward off evil and stabilize souls!"

The wind blurred her vision, preventing her from seeing the newcomers clearly. Only someone like Nanli could draw such a talisman. Bad luck, why did Nanli have to show up too?

Knowing Yao Sheng was at a critical moment, and if The little fourth miss’s soul stabilized, Yao Sheng would fail, she instinctively leaped forward to intercept the talisman. But before she could move, a red, sinister figure appeared, with a wave of their sleeve, sending a powerful force at her.

The force hit Changying, sending her flying and crashing through a wall, leaving her buried under bricks, her fate unknown.

Qiu Hai retracted his hand, flicking his fallen hair aside with disdain: "How dare a sinful person obstruct the Ancestor?"

The talisman successfully fell into place. The powerful talisman, combined with The little fourth miss’s naturally strong soul, quickly restored her soul to its original state. With its evil-repelling effect, the talisman caused a whirlwind that expelled the light orb.

Yao Sheng, nearly securing his hold on the body, was thwarted by the sudden talisman. Pushed out, he hovered in the air, scanning the room to see two new arrivals. The man exuded danger and coldness, while the woman’s face was tight with anger, clearly furious.

"Yao Sheng Grand Tutor, I didn’t get to meet you in life, but meeting your spirit now is also fine," Nanli said, while drawing stabilization and gathering talismans on Ming Ying to repair her soul. They had checked several households without success but had rushed to Yuan’s house upon hearing a child’s cries, feeling unease. Nanli guessed it must be here, and she was right.

Chong Jiu had carefully chosen the baby girl’s body for his master. If Nanli hadn’t insisted on checking the baby girls, Yao Sheng might have succeeded today.

Yao Sheng, realizing who she was, was shocked. Years of careful planning, only to be ruined by her sudden appearance!

"A little girl dares to ruin my plans!" he roared, lunging at Nanli. The baby girl’s soul, now protected, was too strong to attack. With no better choice, he aimed for Nanli’s body.

But before he could, Qiu Hai stepped forward, flicking his fingers to send a cold red light directly at him. Yao Sheng panicked at the overwhelming power and tried to flee, but the red light chased and struck his spirit, shattering it into pieces.

Without even a scream, Qiu Hai beckoned, and the red light attacked again, obliterating Yao Sheng’s spirit completely.

Nanli sighed, seeing nothing left of Yao Sheng: "Why didn’t you capture him for the underworld?"

"The eighteen layers of hell are full, and his name isn’t in the Book of Life and Death. The underworld won’t take him," Qiu Hai replied. In truth, he was simply offended by Yao Sheng’s attempt to possess Nanli’s body, crossing his bottom line.

Nanli lamented, "I wanted to question him."

Qiu Hai, feeling awkward, said, "Sorry, Ancestor. His soul was stronger than most, but once I crushed it, it’s impossible to piece back together."

"No matter, it seems it was fate," Nanli said. "He was a eunuch using dark arts; his path might not have helped me anyway."

Qiu Hai flattered her, "Exactly, Ancestor. With your wisdom, you’ll forge your own path."

As they conversed, Changying’s immobilization talisman wore off. The household staff immediately checked on Ming Ying and her daughter. Yuan Liang, however, shouted, pointing at them, "You wretches! My daughter was a reincarnated immortal, and you ruined it!"

Qiu Hai coldly replied, "Humans in the living world are worse than ghosts in the underworld."

No sense at all, daring to insult Nanli along with him.
