Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

"Junior Sister!"

Chu Lingyun's hoarse voice was filled with urgency as he called out to her anxiously.

"Hurry up..."

Gu Jinyan's exposed face, neck, and hands were visibly covered with a layer of decay.

The skin loses its normal luster and appears stiff.

The soul is the core of the body, and the body depends on each other.

The body's energy channels, blood, internal organs, and so on all depend on the soul to function properly.

At the same time, the physical body nourishes the soul.

Now, his soulless body is being slowly eroded by the Corpse Fiend, his flesh and blood stiffening until he is completely turned into a zombie.

We must send his soul back as soon as possible to get his body back into order from its "anarchic state" and stop the spread of the corpse evil.

"Know!"

Yin Liuli nodded, a fine layer of cold sweat beading on her forehead.

No matter how she called his name, Gu Jinyan's soul did not respond.

He seemed to have no desire to return to his physical body.

Yin Liuli used all her strength to pull him back.

But that seemingly light and airy soul was as heavy as Mount Tai, impossible to move.

"Gu Jinyan, you come back here!"

Yin Liuli panicked, flipped her fingers, and a burst of spiritual light appeared at her fingertips. A "Returning Soul Talisman" light struck Gu Jinyan.

"The sky is clear and the earth is at peace; the gloom shall dissipate. The three souls, wandering aimlessly, shall quickly return to their places; the seven spirits, scattered and dispersed, shall return to their palaces. I, by the decree of the Supreme Lord Laozi, command you urgently!"

"call……"

Along with the talisman, a fierce and malevolent gust of wind also appeared.

Gu Jinyan's dazed soul finally reacted again.

The spiritual power of the "Returning Soul Talisman" pulled his soul back to his body. He bent slightly, but it was as if something was sucking him in from behind, making it impossible for him to move.

His brows were furrowed, and his features were contorted, as if he were enduring immense pain.

"what……"

Gu Jinyan's face suddenly contorted in a grimace, and he let out a painful scream.

A translucent soul suddenly flickered before Yin Liuli's eyes.

Yin Liuli noticed something was wrong.

Gu Jinyan reached out, only to be captivated by a faint, almost imperceptible aura that drew his soul in.

Yin Liuli's brow furrowed. "A soul-snatching lock! There's a soul-snatching rope behind him!"

In the Heavenly Eye, the aura appeared as a massive chain, as thick as an arm, with interlocking links, hooking the soul.

At the top, a pair of five-clawed hooks gripped his soul's collarbones.

The soul-snatching rope is what ghost messengers use to hook onto the souls of the dead when they are taking lives!

No wonder even the Soul Returning Talisman couldn't work!

Once hooked by this thing, it can only release itself if the spirit enters the gates of hell.

Otherwise, even if the King of Hell himself came, he wouldn't be able to open it!

But Gu Jinyan's lifespan has not yet ended, so the one who is taking his soul is definitely not a ghost messenger!

"I don't care if you're a demon or a ghost, let him go!"

Yin Liuli's eyes flashed with fierce anger as she gripped Gu Jinyan's hand tightly and shouted sharply.

"If you want Gu Jinyan's life, you'll have to give me yours first!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"What a sharp-tongued girl! She doesn't know her place!"

A cold, shrill voice rang out, neither male nor female, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a person of any age or gender. The voice was sharp and piercing, filled with a sinister, ghostly aura.

"I've heard you're quite capable. Come, let this ghostly messenger see what skills you have to rescue someone from the clutches of my soul-snatching chains!"

"Bullshit! If you're a ghost messenger, then I could be the King of Hell!"

Although the Soul-Hooking Rope was real, Yin Liuli refused to believe his lies and shouted sharply.

"If you don't let go, once I retrieve his soul, I'll storm the underworld, dig three feet into the ground, and find you, you monstrous thing, to kill you!"

"You're young, but you've got quite the nerve! Utterly arrogant! Then let's have a go at this old man!"

The other party's voice sharpened, and suddenly the metallic clang of chains rattling echoed in the void.

"Clang..."

"what……"

Gu Jinyan's soul suddenly tensed up.

It was like being in purgatory; one's face was contorted in agony, in unbearable pain.

The Soul-Hooking Lock binds a person's soul, and the pain felt by the soul is ten times greater than that felt by the physical body!

"Gu Jinyan!"

Yin Liuli raised her hand and flipped it, gathering all her true energy at her fingertips and sending it into Gu Jinyan's soul.

True energy, like veins, rapidly spread throughout his translucent, ethereal soul.

Gu Jinyan's pained expression eased considerably in an instant, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Junior sister, hurry..."

Chu Lingyun held several silver needles in her hand and inserted them into important acupoints on Gu Jinyan's body, temporarily suppressing the spread of the domineering corpse demon within him.

He wanted to help his junior sister, but he couldn't move at all.

If you let go of it even slightly, the silver needle will be deflected by the corpse demon.

Large beads of sweat rolled down Chu Lingyun's forehead.

Gu Jinyan's soul left his body. His three souls and seven spirits were already unstable, and the soul-hooking rope hooked his collarbone. With the two sides pulling each other, he couldn't hold on for long.

The lapis latifolia is the location of the soul and vital energy.

Once the soul is scattered, even the Emperor himself couldn't bring it back.

They've met a formidable opponent today.

The other party's methods are not necessarily inferior to Yin Liuli's, but they are even more ruthless and insidious.

"Hahahaha... You don't even have this much skill, yet you dare to try and steal the Seven Fiend Souls from me?"

In the void, the opponent burst into wild laughter.

"I just robbed it!"

A sharp glint flashed in Yin Liuli's eyes, and she suddenly put her finger in her mouth and shoved it in.

"puff……"

Blood spurted from her fingertips. She raised her hand and drew a "Soul-Stabilizing Talisman" on Gu Jinyan's soul, activating it with her mind.

"The Great One generates water, from which the soul and spirit gather, as firm as Mount Tai; so be it!"

Chu Lingyun bit her lower lip secretly, her heart trembling.

Using the blood curse as a guide, she channeled her soul power into casting the talisman, as if she were transferring her own blood to Gu Jinyan to preserve his soul from dissipation.

Sure enough, Gu Jinyan's contorted and pained expression instantly eased, his body stopped trembling, and he returned to his dazed state.

"Hmph... what's the use of stabilizing his soul?"

In the void, the old man spoke with disdain, mocking, "However, your spiritual energy has truly opened my eyes! In all these years, this is the first time I've encountered someone with such innate talent..."

"You old bastard, you'd better...die!"

Before he could finish his rambling, Yin Liuli coldly shouted, then suddenly flipped her fingers, revealing a blood-red spiritual light at her fingertips.

She made a sword-finger gesture with her hand, and in one swift step, she darted behind Gu Jinyan's soul, slashing the sword-finger fiercely at the Soul-Hooking Lock.

"Junior sister, no!"

Chu Lingyun screamed, his hand trembling violently, and several silver needles were instantly propelled out by the corpse demon, "Bang bang bang..."

In an instant, he wanted to abandon Gu Jinyan and let his physical body be swallowed by the corpse demon, turning him into a zombie.

He just wanted to help his junior sister!

The talisman used by the junior sister is a very powerful spell from a forbidden book passed down by the founders of Xuanqing Temple, located in the underground vault of the temple. It is called the "Heaven-Splitting Talisman".

This is a forbidden spell that uses fate as a wager.

The person casting the spell must concentrate all their inner energy and gamble everything on a single strike with their fingertip.

If it succeeds, even the sky can be torn open; if it fails...
