"You... you... who exactly are you?"
The black-robed man's hood, which had been concealing his true face, fell off, revealing a fleshy face of about forty years old. Dozens of scars, large and small, crisscrossed his face.
At first glance, his features were almost unrecognizable.
He was now in despair because after the little doll in front of him captured him, she had shattered his spiritual pulse in return.
This caused his cultivation of over thirty years to go to waste, and his body subsequently aged. This was normal. Most Xuan Master cultivations involved many injuries, which did not appear problematic due to the support of their cultivation.
However, if the cultivation were lost, these old ailments would naturally recur. This was also why he aged more than ordinary people.
"Why should I tell you!" Yaoyao tilted her head and said in a childish voice upon hearing this. This answer truly hit the other party's sore spot, almost making him angry enough to spit out blood.
"Alright, now I can resolve your trouble."
Yaoyao's gaze returned to the destined person.
"Thank you, Master, for your trouble." Ren Minmin was a little emotional. She wasn't foolish. The scarred man in front of her was most likely the one who intended to harm her. Now that he was caught, it was naturally a good thing.
As for the precautions he had left on her?
She wasn't really worried. After all, he had been caught, and there was nothing that couldn't be resolved.
Seeing the person's relaxed and calm expression, Yaoyao nodded approvingly. At this moment, a hoarse voice rang out.
"You can't resolve it. I added a method to the Xuan Yin technique. If you forcefully break it, this ordinary person will also die."
"Why don't you let me go, and I'll tell you the secret within. Anyway, I've been crippled by you, and I can't harm anyone anymore. You don't need to be wary of me."
The scar-faced man's eyes lit up when he saw Yaoyao about to save someone. He didn't want to be sent to the Xuanmen, because that would be worse than death. He had been contemplating how to get the little doll to let go.
This person's origins were unknown, but her methods were fast and fierce. He had no confidence whatsoever. Therefore, he had not dared to beg for mercy or negotiate.
But now, things were different. Since she wanted to save the vessel for the evil spirit he raised, he now had a bargaining chip.
"Uncle, your little tricks won't work on Yaoyao!"
"Hehe, you can't escape the Soul Burning Punishment of the Xuanmen, you know."
Yaoyao turned and glanced at him, her little face showing a smile that saw through everything.
"You ungrateful fool, you'll beg me... " The scar-faced man was surprised by her arrogance. His expression froze, and then he couldn't help but laugh.
It wasn't that he was overconfident, but the Xuan Yin technique could accommodate various methods. Depending on the habits of each mage who set it up, the countermeasures could be varied and difficult to predict.
Moreover, the Xuan Yin technique was not very stable. Once external force intervened, it would begin to collapse.
Therefore, breakers usually only had one chance. If they failed, the evil spirit would retaliate against the host.
At that time, she would be the one begging him. The scar-faced man couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile.
But before he could even laugh out loud, his eyes widened in disbelief the next moment.
He saw the little doll in front of him extend her small fleshy hand, and a chain as black as ink stretched out from her fingertips, slowly penetrating the container's body.
He had never seen such a chain, but the oppressive aura emanating from it made his soul tremble.
It was obvious that this thing could ignore the physical body, so it must be a legendary artifact targeting the soul!
But this was unreasonable. The so-called legend sounded like underworld.
This was a treasure that only ghosts and gods possessed. How could a human cultivator have it!
Such a significant change was far beyond the scar-faced man's expectations. He immediately lost his previous air of confident victory.
And the result was no surprise. The entire room suddenly turned cold, and a soul infant spirit, as black as ink, was drawn out.
Its features were somewhat blurry, as it had not fully developed when it died prematurely. Later, its resentment grew, and its appearance developed, but it was still difficult to escape its childlike appearance.
"Waa!"
The moment it was pulled out of its physical body, it let out a shrill infant's cry. This cry was completely different from a normal child's. Not only was it sharp, but it was also filled with malice and coldness.
It struggled to pounce on Yaoyao, but the Soul Hook could suppress even ghost generals, let alone an infant spirit that hadn't even become a great ghost.
"Bind!"
Yaoyao's beautiful grape-like eyes focused, and her small hands moved like dancing butterflies, rapidly forming seals.
Once the seals were formed, two Tai Chi fish, one yin and one yang, swam out from the seals, each biting half of the infant spirit's body.
As the two yin and yang figures rotated, within just over ten breaths, the infant spirit and the twin fish transformed into a soul pearl on the spot.
Yaoyao raised her hand, beckoned, and directly took it into her hand. This effortless act of sealing an infant ghost on the verge of completion caused the scar-faced man, who witnessed everything, to his face change multiple times.
Finally, he sighed in dejection, directly abandoning his original struggle. The power difference was too great. If the disparity were visible, he wouldn't have surrendered so completely.
"Little sister, it's all resolved. You can open your eyes now."
Yaoyao looked at the destined person, who then opened her eyes, still with a hint of confusion. It was over just like that? Her expression was a little dazed.
She had thought it would be very difficult to resolve, seeing the Master struggling on the live broadcast. However, the thought was immediately cast aside. After all, she wasn't a masochist.
To be able to preserve her life unharmed was the greatest fortune in misfortune. Who would complain about a resolution that was too smooth?
"Thank you, Master. When I return to the capital, I will definitely go to the Daoist temple to offer my thanks." Ren Minmin quickly thanked her again.
She was intelligent. From the moment the Master had presented the peace charm, she had guessed that the other party intended to promote the Daoist temple. Therefore, going to offer thanks would definitely be pleasing.
And the result was as she had expected. She saw a sweet smile appear on the Master's little face.
"Okay, little sister, you are welcome to come and offer thanks."
"However, before offering thanks, little sister might need to do something with your family."
Yaoyao paused, and under the destined person's questioning gaze, she decided to tell her the truth about the evil spirit.
In fact, she did not want to speak of this cruel truth. However, after capturing the soul infant, she discovered that there was a major problem with its soul body.
That was the infant spirit's growth relied too heavily on yin energy, and the connection between them was too deep.
If she were to purify it like ordinary ghosts, it was very likely that it would directly perish in body and soul; but if she didn't purify it, then at its current stage, it would have no chance of reincarnation.
The only solution that could satisfy both parties was for a blood relative to offer a soul lamp for it, using the flame of the soul lamp and their own blood and flesh to protect its soul.
This way, it would not collapse in body and soul during the purification.
However, offering a soul lamp required a close relative to sincerely pray and voluntarily offer blood and flesh. Neither could be lacking, otherwise the soul lamp could not be lit.
Therefore, no matter how cruel the truth was, she still had to say it.
And the result was as expected. Upon hearing this answer, the destined person was struck by lightning and froze in place.
