Chapter 569 The Soul-Absorbing Array Appears
The moment the formation above Wanyuanzhai was activated, Yunxi and the other three, who were meditating in their respective rooms, suddenly opened their eyes. In the next instant, their natal magic treasures automatically protected their masters, firmly shielding them.

Han Lian's soul directly entered a pale blue ice lotus, Yun Chen was held in a giant golden hand, Xun Kun's soul was directly attached to a black soul bell, and Yun Xi, with a cold expression, held up the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella and walked out of the cultivation room despite the huge suction force.

"Hei Yao!"

Yunxi coldly uttered two words, and the black dragon on the umbrella soared into the sky, crashing directly into the huge, dark green array. The loud "bang" echoed far and wide, attracting the attention of many ghost messengers.

The aftershocks from the collision of the black and green forces spread outwards, almost leveling Wanyuanzhai to the ground, while the dark green array only shrank by a circle and was not completely destroyed.

Meanwhile, Obsidian returned to the umbrella, gathering its strength for a second attack. Yunxi frowned, not expecting this formation to be even more powerful than the one they had encountered at the "Thousand Treasures Pavilion." Now she understood why the evil cultivators were doing this; they were testing their strength.

To be precise, it was to test the strength of their souls after they left their bodies before setting up this more reliable soul-absorbing formation.

Yunxi activated her divine sense, retrieving the Nine Netherworld Dragon Umbrella from her body and summoning the Seven Star Deadly Staff. Holding it in her hand, she slammed it heavily onto the ground of Wanyuanzhai, coldly uttering two words: "Heavenly Punishment."

In the next instant, the Seven Star Deadly Staff rapidly grew larger and longer, soaring straight into the sky. At the same time, countless purple lightning bolts accompanied the Seven Star Deadly Staff as it shot into the sky, like unfolding purple flowers, striking the Soul Absorption Array in the air like meteors.

The destructive power of the Heavenly Punishment Lightning completely destroyed the entire Soul Absorption Array. The dark green array crumbled in the air, scattered by the lightning, and then turned into dust.

The vortex in mid-air was rapidly closing in, and Xun Kun roared:

"Han Lian, Yun Chen, slay the soul!"

At the same time, he decisively and quickly severed the wisp of soul that the Soul Absorption Array had extracted from his body.

Although Hanlian and Yunchen did not understand, they did as instructed, severing the connection between the wisp of soul that had left the body and the original body.

Yunxi clearly saw the black, light blue, and gold soul threads that had separated from her body being sucked into the vortex in mid-air, and the vortex was closing at the fastest speed.

"Thunder Shines Through the Nine Heavens!"

Yunxi was unwilling to let her companion's soul power be taken away, so she immediately unleashed another powerful move. The purple shadow of the Seven Star Deadly Staff struck straight into the center of the vortex, bringing with it a powerful lightning attack.

Countless purple lightning bolts spread outwards from Wanyuanzhai for ten miles around, and the falling white-tinged purple lightning attracted bursts of ghostly wails and howls. The rumbling sound echoed throughout the area, as if it were about to pierce the sky of the ghost realm.

With a muffled groan, the vortex vanished completely, and the sky over the Ghost Realm returned to darkness. Only purple lightning flickered incessantly in the black clouds, seemingly unwilling to give up because it had lost its target.

Yunxi was also very angry, but she still put the Seven Star Deadly Staff back into her body before checking on Hanlian and the other two.

Xun Kun's lips were pressed into a straight line, clearly showing his anger. Upon seeing Yun Xi approaching, he immediately put away his soul bell and said:
“We were ambushed. Except for you, all three of us had a wisp of our souls extracted.”

Yunxi's face also darkened, and she frowned as she said:

“How about I send you back to the ‘Mysterious Snowfield’ first? That way, we can completely sever the connection between that wisp of soul and your original body, preventing the mastermind from harming you.”

Xun Kun said in a deep voice:
"Don't rush. Your attack should have injured the opponent. Let's go check on Hanlian and Yunchen first."

At this moment, Hanlian and Yunchen also put away their natal magic weapons and flashed to reunite with their companions.

"Amitabha! We still fell into the trap of the mastermind. Fortunately, Xun Kun reminded us in time, and Han Lian and I both severed the wisp of soul that had left our bodies. We just don't know what they want to do with our soul wisp!"

Han Lian's heroic face was so cold it could shatter ice crystals. She gritted her teeth and said, "Our accommodations were arranged by the Judge. Whether it was Judge Cui, the Black and White Impermanence, or even that Li Ze, they all wanted us to stay in Wanyuanzhai as much as possible. Did they create an opportunity for the mastermind behind the scenes, or are they all in cahoots, thinking we need their help, which is why they are so unscrupulous?"

Han Lian was so angry that her words were highly accusatory.

“Amitabha! Hanlian, this is just your one-sided suspicion. You can't make such statements without evidence.”

"Hmph! What evidence do you need? We've only been in the Ghost Realm for a short time and we've already run into trouble one after another. Are you taking advantage of our unfamiliarity with the place, or do you think we need their help and therefore don't take us seriously? We were working hard to clean up the mess for the Underworld before. If you want to kick us while we're at it, at least do it properly!"

Han Lian replied with a cold face, clearly not giving Yun Chen any face at all.

Yunxi frowned and said:
"Now that the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light, we are too passive. We must not create any further rift with the Underworld. I will now send you back to your original bodies in the 'Ethereal Snowfield' to nourish your souls. I will stay outside to deal with them and will let you out when necessary."

"no!"

The three said in unison.

Han Lian: "Knowing the danger, how can I let you deal with it alone? Your destructive power is different from the destructive power of the four of us. At worst, we can make a scene at the King of Hell. It was their dereliction of duty."

Yun Chen: "Amitabha! It is precisely because the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light that we must protect each other."

Xun Kun: "Going it alone makes it easier for them to underestimate you. You need a partner you can rely on."

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Yunxi knew she couldn't persuade them, so she nodded and said:

"Alright, then we'll meet force with force and water with earth!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a patrol of soldiers rushed into the almost completely razed Wanyuanzhai. Leading the way was Li Ze, followed by the Black and White Impermanence and the four ghost messengers, Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Yunxi turned around and stared straight at Lize without saying a word, while Hanlian and the other two gave each ghost messenger a fierce look from head to toe, as if they were about to start a fight at the slightest provocation.

Li Ze was a little short of breath, so he could only cup his hands and say:

"Gentlemen, it was our poor patrol that led to your attack. We are very sorry."

"No need to apologize. I want to see Judge Cui. If he is not available, I will go to the Yama Palace to ask to see the Chief Yama. We were invited here by you and did not intend to stay in the Ghost Realm forever!"

"Captain Lizawa wants to use us as bait. You'd better have the ability to catch the mastermind behind this. Are the knives in your hands just for show?"

Yunxi's words were already quite blunt.

Before Li Ze could speak, the ghost soldiers behind him said unhappily:

"You're going too far with that. When you unleashed your ultimate attack, you didn't seem to care that this was the Ghost Realm. Your attack injured many ordinary ghost cultivators, and even we didn't dare to get close."

"Shut up!"
