Chapter 1293: Chapter 1287
Xin Lin watched those Yin Sha disappear into the mist, utterly stunned.
"I must be seeing things. That Pride Corpse said that Zixiao, the Purple Cloud City, was very secure, and any ghosts had been recruited. What on earth are these things?"
Xin Lin stood there, jaw agape.
The number of Yin Sha was quite remarkable, the street wide and packed with them.
Far more numerous than those at the Dragon Bone Graveyard.
Of course, in terms of power, the Yin Sha at the Dragon Bone Graveyard were far stronger.
Those were Advanced Yin Sha, while these were newly formed Yin Sha from condensed Evil Qi, not very powerful.
But the quantity was truly astonishing, Xin Lin had no idea that beneath Purple Cloud City, so much Yin Sha Qi was hidden.
The dawn had yet to break; once it does, should these Yin Sha encounter the living, a great commotion will surely erupt.
Still, it was fortunate these Yin Sha appeared, helping Xin Lin discern the direction to go.
The Yin Sha weren’t naturally occurring, but were man-made, likely by the creator of the mist.
The carriage must be in that direction.
Xin Lin considered for a moment, then rummaged through her Tuling hairpin and extracted a Qi Stone, swiftly absorbing it.
In the blink of an eye, she transformed into the slender figure of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, Xin Lin.
She swiftly changed her attire, letting Fu Xi’s Energy fill her body and blend into the Yin Sha.
In some sense, Fu Xi’s Energy and Ghost Energy can be seen as first level kin, so when Xin Lin merged with the Yin Sha crowd, they failed to notice anything amiss.
The Low-level Yin Sha were indeed foolish, continuing their march into the depths of the mist.
Shi Fei, having received Master Fengxi’s response, found peace of mind.
She sat inside the carriage, no longer paying attention to the happenings outside.
Over at the Yin Yang Road, Monk Fengxi still hadn’t shown himself.
The first batch of Yin Sha arrived, encircling the carriage and swarming it like moths to a flame.
Suddenly, the carriage emitted a cascade of golden light, quickly incinerating the Yin Sha before any could approach.
Screams rang out repeatedly, with cries of children, wails of the elderly, and the piercing screams of men and women.
The sounds piled onto one another incessantly.
Inside the carriage, Shi Fei’s heart quivered.
Those screams caused her great discomfort.
Were any ordinary person to hear these sounds, they’d be driven to torment, ultimately perishing in agony.
Shi Fei, being just a weak woman, found these waves of sound unbearable.
"Shi Fei, you’d better come off the carriage. Can you bear seeing so many innocent lives lost because of you?"
The shadow outside the carriage chuckled coldly.
He knew Shi Fei’s nature well, like a delicate white lotus, frail and innocent.
"You may cease your chatter. The master instructed never to leave the carriage, and I won’t!"
Shi Fei covered her ears.
Master Fengxi had said, no matter what, she mustn’t leave the carriage.
It had taken so much effort for her to leave the Imperial Palace, to exit the carriage now would render it all for naught.
"That monk can’t even protect himself, yet you trust his words?"
The shadow fumed.
Unexpectedly, even one as timid as Shi Fei has moments of wisdom.
"The master will take me to Taichang Temple, I trust his words."
Shi Fei remained resolute.
The shadow snorted coldly.
"Then let me show you the monk’s fate!"
With a wave of his sleeve, he parted the mist ahead of the carriage, revealing a scene.
