She was not some nameless ghost; she was a friend, a companion...
Xie Bei felt ashamed after hearing this.
After finally reconciling, Zhao Wentong began to feel dissatisfied with Xie Bei again.
At that moment, Summer Mo, who was above the pavilion, spotted a familiar face and couldn't help but feel delighted, seemingly forgetting the pain she had previously endured.
"Her name is Summer Mo. I met her before I encountered all of you with Ye Xiu, and she has been by Ye Xiu's side ever since," Jiang Baixuan said, clearing his throat lightly before continuing.
Jiang Baixuan added, "She won't harm anyone, so don't worry."
Xie Bei had already helped Jiang Baixuan to his feet.
Zhao Wentong watched from the side, showing no intention of offering assistance.
Jiang Baixuan walked to the front of the pavilion and asked, "How could Mo be trapped up there?"
Xie Bei replied, "There's a formation set up above; it's quite strange, something I've never seen before."
Jiang Baixuan said, "Let's go take a look."
With Xie Bei supporting him, they lightly leaped and appeared on top of the pavilion.
At first glance, Jiang Baixuan did not see Summer Mo but rather the black runes at his feet.
"This..." Jiang Baixuan exclaimed in surprise.
Xie Bei's face lit up with joy. "Old Jiang, do you recognize this formation?"
"This formation feels very familiar to me, but I can't quite recall where I've seen it before..." Jiang Baixuan replied.
"Old Jiang, can you break the formation?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baixuan furrowed his brows. "Even if the two of us work together, we cannot break this formation."
"Who could have created such a powerful formation without the aid of the Yin Talisman?"
"…"
"…"
"Ah!!!" Jiang Baixuan suddenly shouted.
Xie Bei asked anxiously, "Old Jiang, what happened?"
"I remember! This formation is called the Soul Refining Formation!"
"The Soul Refining Formation? I've never heard of it..."
"The Soul Refining Formation is an extremely evil array that attracts wandering souls and ghosts from the surroundings, trapping them. After a period of time, it forcibly refines them into mindless Evil Spirits, or even malevolent spirits..."
"What a wicked formation..."
"Then who could have created this formation?"
"The Soul Refining Formation originates from the ancient Ghost Gate!"
"Ghost Gate?"
"Ghost Gate was once the most powerful sect. During that period of history, Ghost Gate ruled the entire world. The founder of Ghost Gate fell in love with a mortal woman and subsequently vanished, abandoning the entire sect. The power of Ghost Gate then fell into the hands of the founder's two major disciples. However, suddenly, the two disciples began to have differing opinions, leading to conflicts that gradually intensified. Eventually, the two leaders parted ways with their respective martial arts, resulting in one disciple founding the Ghost Arts Sect and the other establishing the Ghost Corpse Sect."
Jiang Baixuan paused for a moment before continuing, "As the name suggests, Ghost Corpse Sect specializes in refining corpses and souls, turning them into powerful yet mindless Puppets. The souls that are refined are lost forever; thus, wherever Ghost Corpse Sect goes, it resembles a hell on earth. In contrast, Ghost Arts Sect, like today's Ghost Arts Sect, upholds righteousness, nurturing spirits without refining them, using their own spiritual power and techniques to cultivate spirits as part of their strength."
Dao Ghost Arts Sect, Jiang Baixuan said proudly, "Ghost Arts Sect is not just about nurturing spirits; our relationship with them is akin to that of friends and partners. Ghost Arts Sect has specialized techniques for spirit cultivation, and many generations of our sect leaders have been spirits themselves. Most of our techniques are related to spirits..."
"Then... what about today's Ghost Arts Sect..." Xie Bei remarked casually.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baixuan's pride instantly faded into sorrow as he replied, "After the world-dominating Ghost Gate split into two sects, they have been at odds ever since. Numerous wars have erupted between the two factions! As a result, both powers grew weaker and eventually reached the era of Seven Lives Sect. After the Seven Lives Showdown, one sect was completely annihilated while the other barely survived... The one that barely survives is Ghost Arts Sect..."
Jiang Baixuan bitterly emphasized the last three words.
Xie Bei looked at the sorrowful Jiang Baixuan and shifted the topic: "So what should we do about this Soul Refining Formation?"
"I have no way to deal with it right now..."
"But we can't abandon our friends!"
Zhao Wentong finally seized the opportunity to counter Xie Bei: "Hmph! Exactly! We can't abandon our friends!"
Xie Bei said apologetically, "Old Zhao... haven't I already explained everything to you?"
Jiang Baixuan interrupted them: "Alright! The key issue is that we don't know how long this formation will take to complete its refinement. So for now, you two should stop worrying about the Wu Nan'an Sequence and go find Ye Xiu. I will return to Ghost Arts Sect first to look for a way to break this formation."
Xie Bei replied, "Ye Xiu should also be new to the Cultivation World, right?"
"Yeah! What's wrong?"
"Then what's the use of finding him?"
"Ye Xiu's strength is above both of us; having an extra source of spiritual energy will always be helpful!"
Xie Bei slightly furrowed his brow, the expression fleeting: "What... strength does he have?"
"At least above the Spirit Jade Realm!"
Xie Bei was taken aback by this revelation!
"You two should hurry!"
"Alright, Old Jiang, I'll be back soon." Zhao Wentong left first.
Xie Bei followed closely behind.
After the two left, Jiang Baixuan's serious demeanor shifted in an instant, and with a smile, he said to Summer Mo, "Mo, Mo. Don't be afraid..."
Summer Mo struggled within the formation, but nothing came out; she could only mumble repeatedly, "Mmm..."
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll be back as soon as possible!"
Summer Mo looked anxious, but still nothing came out.
Jiang Baixuan ran towards the park of Ming Zhong University.
Summer Mo's eyes shimmered with tears as she watched Jiang Baixuan grow increasingly distant, her fear intensifying...
Ye Xiu stood motionless in the wilderness at that moment.
Qian Fatty was anxiously pacing beside Ye Xiu.
"Bro! What’s going on with you? Why are you just standing there?"
"Not a word? By the way, where’s Sister-in-law? Where did Tang Luor go?"
"Could it be that Sister-in-law is fake? What did she do to you?"
Qian Jinyu reached out, trying to lower Ye Xiu's arms that were locked in an embrace, but he didn’t budge at all...
"He's completely frozen..."
Qian Fatty lamented, "We finally have such a good brother, such a great guy, and it hasn’t even been long... and now..."
"Hey..."
Qian Fatty let out a heavy sigh.
Ye Xiu had been maintaining this posture for quite some time now.
At that moment, Qian Fatty spotted two figures in the distance.
Qian Jinyu jumped up joyfully, "We're saved! We're saved!"
With that, Qian Jinyu ran towards the two figures.
As they got closer, Qian Fatty realized that the two were Zhao Wentong and Xie Bei, who had come out looking for Ye Xiu!
"Old Zhao! Old Xie!"
Zhao Wentong shouted, "Qian Fatty!"
Xie Bei asked, "Fatty! Why are you the only one here? Where's Ye Xiu?"
"Big brother... Big brother is over there..."
With that, Qian Jinyu pointed at Ye Xiu in the distance, who was embracing thin air and standing completely still.
