are part of the Tao... Balancing various relationships is also a form of cultivation.""Then are you saying that for the sake of the country, you received orders from your superiors and had to sacrifi...This person is clearly possessed, the evil force of soul refinement is very powerful, he has completely lost his own consciousness and senses. He is surrounded by a murderous aura, raising a blunt knife stained with flesh and blood and constantly chopping at the corpse in front of him.

When he turned to look at us, his eyeballs rolled, and blood-tinged saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.

Death doors, it is advisable to hang dead and send them to their funeral, executions in war, hunting and killing animals.

This person has become a bloodthirsty butcher.

These two bodies should be the "thugs" that Team A just eliminated. Their souls are gone at this time, I suspect they were sucked into the black hole on the wall.

The black hole seemed to breathe, a deep, labored gasp in the unknown depths.

I didn't wait for the other party to raise that gleaming kitchen knife in their hand and charge at us, I immediately struck first, reciting the incantation to summon the Divine Tiger Hall!

I dare not be careless, the power of Shenhu's Soul-Calling is great. I heard a tiger's roar in my ears and immediately changed my hand seals.

The little finger is bent back over the other four fingers, setting the middle finger. The thumb pinches the palm... to ward off evil spirits.

Index and middle fingers, ring and pinky fingers crossed, pressing on Zhongwan point, thumb pinching Yinwen point, "jia gui" technique.

Connecting three talismans and incantations, I pressed that “Butcher” to the ground with the divine tiger's might, while the demonic energy surging from the soul-refining being was restrained by me as I dragged him out. He was then immobilized by the Ghost Shackling Curse.

The surrounding ghostly soldiers swarmed forward, binding the Soul Refiner with multiple chains.

I let out a small sigh of relief, Lin Yanhuan stared blankly at my shifting hand gestures, watching the butcher twitch and then fall to the ground, motionless.

This soul-refining process was extremely violent, several Yin soldiers struggled to restrain him. I could only silently recite Jiang Qiyun's name in my heart, wondering how he was doing on his side, had they caught the guide

Qingcheng Hospital has many problems, but it's impossible for every staff member to be a sorcerer proficient in sorcery. The real planner and mastermind should be the high-level officials of the hospital.

The guide must be one of them.

The Yin Soldiers almost couldn't hold back that Soul Refiner; he broke free from the Shackle Ghost Technique!

Lian Hun lunged at me, dragging his iron chain behind him.

I quickly drew the intricately carved, hollow peachwood sword from my satchel. The sword's qi pierced through Lianhun's chest, and he writhed on the ground, howling as if being burned by sulfuric acid.

Lin Yan had wanted to shoot several times, but he understood that bullets were useless against this thing.

He stood half in front of me, asking, "Why is he still moving How can we completely subdue him"

Two little ancestors in my belly seemed to sense something was wrong. A red light formed a barrier in front of me. I thought it was because the soul-refining process was too intense, making the spiritual fetuses wary. However, what truly made the spiritual fetuses nervous was the black abyss on the wall!

Something plump suddenly flashed past behind the black hole, as if desperately trying to squeeze out. But this black hole was too small. The plump thing strained with all its might and finally squeezed out a section—

It was a gray-white, fleshy, gigantic tongue.

Tongue

How big is that thing in the back!

The tongue lay still for a moment, then suddenly rolled up the scattered remains on the table—even the innards and intestines on the floor were not spared—and with a whoosh, retracted back in.

“Ahhh—!!” I cried out in alarm, it was eating something! It was consuming those shattered limbs as food!

I was so terrified that I pulled Lin Yanhuan back, the surrounding Yin soldiers were also frightened and no one dared to step forward to pull the chain for a moment. That soul-refining maniac rolled on the ground and roared, but he was unexpectedly caught by that huge tongue!

The tongue was like a giant python, coiling and dragging Lin Yanhuan's soul back. He couldn't bear it any longer, raising his hand to fire two shots at the tongue.

The bullet, like hitting mud, sank directly into the tongue, it couldn't pierce through!

The God Tiger took a step back, growling softly. It was terrified of what lurked within the black hole. It seemed to devour everything – bodies and souls alike!

"...What on earth is this" Lin Yanhuan stared at the giant tongue, as wide as a quilt, in disbelief.

How would I know Since there are immortals, of course there would be demons too. Maybe what's coming next is a giant monster

The tongue suddenly shot towards us, a spiritual red light surged into the sky, and the Qi of yin and yang transformed into a shield, blocking the overwhelming evil energy. The Yin soldiers all hid behind the red light and escaped unharmed.

"Little Empress! This cave is too eerie! This isn't a ghost surge!" The Yin official cried out in panic, "Please, Little Empress, quickly retreat!"

Should I retreat It seems like no one else can stop this thing from running rampant.

If I withdraw, what will happen if this gigantic tongue gets even longer

Bend the second and third fingers, pinch the middle line of the fourth finger with your thumb… The gate to exorcise evil from prison surges forth on the ground!

I know the opponent is large, so I unconsciously made the gate of my prison-breaking style as big as possible, my inner energy boiling and surging, making my eyes bloodshot.

A gigantic door stood behind me, no smaller than the Ten Thousand Ghosts Gate where Jiang Qiyun had summoned Shen Tu and Yu Lei back then.

The surrounding buildings were shrouded, the doors opened, and several thick chains flew out, binding the giant tongue and dragging it desperately outwards!

Wouldn't things here be even scarier if ghosts swarmed them

The giant tongue wanted to retract, but the chains held it fast, neither side giving an inch. Both pulled with all their might, the chains taut as a bowstring!

"Xiao Qiao! Can we solve this with a rocket launcher" Lin Yanhuan asked nervously, "Just shoot the shell directly into that hole, how about that"

" …Wouldn't that blow the whole place up" I shook my head worriedly. "These things probably can't be solved with guns, right"

Suddenly, the chain rattled loudly, making me jump. The giant tongue was pulled out even further!

What, what am I supposed to do...

The things behind seem too large to drag out from here. I hesitated whether to first close the gate of Lit Prison and Evil Suppression, but that giant tongue didn't let go of the chains either, directly winding them up, showing signs of a stalemate!

Just when things were at their worst, a sudden chill swept through the air, pushing back the oppressive evil aura that had filled the place.

"Fall back!" Jiang Qiyun's voice was like a bolt from the blue, saving me.

"Rise, Cloud!"

He landed before me, the nearly transparent blade in his hand instantly severing the chains that held us in a stalemate: “…Step back, don’t let the evil energy reach you.”

His voice was calm, yet I could faintly hear his alertness. Was everything here making him feel like he was in grave danger

Lin Yanhuan's medicine was still working, he looked at Jiang Qiyun's back and whispered to me, "Is this him"

I silently nodded.

Jiang Qiyun grasped a sword in one hand and pinched out the complex Heavenly Incantation, Purple Micro Demon Subduing Seal with the other, summoning a Heavenly Incantation Warrior to sever the giant tongue as it retracted.

Black blood spurted, the thing behind the hole fled quickly, dragging that black opening with it as it desperately shrank and vanished into the wall.

Jiang Qiyun frowned and walked towards me, asking, "How are you Are you hurt"

I shook my head, afraid he would fly away again. I reached out and tightly grasped his sleeve, asking, "What was that"

He sheathed his sword and pulled me close, leading me away: “We’ll talk about it later.”

"Wait!" Lin Yanhuan shouted, "What about the guide you guys were chasing!"

Jiang Qiyun didn't expect to see this, his figure froze, and he said coldly: "The details, Mu Yunfan will tell you, I'll take her back first —"

Well, I kinda feel like he's... angryared on my hand."There's Xianlin dew and immortal ointment in here. Apply some, alright! Who told you not to Look, mosquitos don't bite me."Xianlin Dew Divine Medicine Ointment What the heckI rummaged...
