Chapter 378: Gathering Spirits
Noon.
This point is usually the brightest, warmest, and brightest moment of the day.
But that is only for the outside world.
For Huangquan Island, today is the darkest day in five hundred years.
The color of the sky seems to be a mixture of half ink and half blood.
It looks terrible as if it will fall at any time.
It is heart-pounding.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and it hurts when it hits the skin.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, like countless knives cutting the bodies of passers-by.
The temperature has already dropped below -20°.
And it is still dropping.
On the cliff at the end of Huangquan Island, there stands a barefoot woman.
Her thousands of black hair fall vertically like a waterfall under the cliff, and she raises her eyes and stares coldly at the prison realm above.
It is so close that it seems to be able to touch it with a hand.
The last gap above has also disappeared.
The roar and roar in the prison realm are becoming clearer and clearer.
The huge and terrifying demonic aura spreads around.
"Time flies, and it's been five hundred years."
Yeji Hongyan jumped from the cliff like a fairy and landed in the white stone forest below.
This is the Guarding Forest, the former base camp of the Yeji family, and the main battlefield where the Sealing Demon War broke out.
Coming here again, it feels like a lifetime ago, and it's full of sighs.
Yeji Hongyan's thoughts were pulled back to five hundred years ago.
Some of the dry bones mixed in the white stone belong to her people.
Here, too much pain and too many regrets are buried.
If the Yagami clan had not been bewitched by the big snake.
If the Kagura clan could have discovered the priest as a traitor earlier.
If the Demon-Breaking Sword could have been cast one day earlier...
Unfortunately, there is no if!
"This time, if it is not sealed, it must be destroyed!"
Yeji Hongyan is ready to sacrifice herself for justice.
"Whether it's a lonely soul or a wild ghost, the souls floating in this sinful world, give me your power!"
Yeji Hongyan pinched her fingers to call for the decision, and set up a spirit gathering array.
Mysterious runes appeared on her arms, and a deep red glowing stripe appeared on her cheek.
White cherry blossoms flowed around her.
The function of the spirit gathering array is not to absorb the so-called spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but to attract some unconscious or weakly conscious souls.
This is a unique array method passed down by the Yeji family.
First attract the souls, then purify them with the array method, and finally convert them into spiritual power for people to use.
As long as the number of souls is sufficient, it can continuously provide power to the holder.
But Yeji Hongyan did not have the time and conditions to arrange a regular spirit gathering array.
She set herself as the array center of the spirit gathering array and directly absorbed those souls.
Although this is efficient, it is extremely dangerous.
Each soul is an independent existence and may carry bad breath.
Just like an apple just picked from a tree, it looks clean, but the surface is contaminated with dust and bacteria. If it is eaten directly without washing, it is easy to cause problems.
Other witches have tried to use their bodies as the core of the formation to quickly increase their strength, but they were unable to suppress the bad breath and quickly became possessed and died suddenly.
Even if they did not become possessed, they would still suffer from difficult-to-heal sequelae afterwards.
For example, illness, insomnia, severe depression, and regression in cultivation.
But Ye Ji Hongyan didn't care about these at all. She was confident that she could purify those bad souls.
In short, her goal was very clear, that is, to destroy the demons at all costs!
