348: Master Ye, is there anything you can't do? A magic pill, a miracle cure?
"I don't know how things are on Mi Mi's side, I hope she's safe too."
At this moment, Yang Mi, who was outside the cinnabar powder circle, also encountered trouble. Although the bagua mirror temporarily warded off some Yin Souls, many black shadows were still rushing toward her. Yang Mi constantly used talisman paper to drive them away, her forehead covered in sweat.
"Go Mi Mi! You can do it!"
"I feel like Yang Mi is having a hard time too; a Female Celebrity having to face these terrifying things."
"I hope Great God Ye and the others can quickly resolve the issues in the Temple and go help Yang Mi."
Ye Bai continued to destroy the sacrificial arrangements in the Temple. He discovered a strange Formation beneath the Statue, which was emitting a powerful evil energy.
"This should be the key to controlling the Yin Souls; we need to destroy it," Ye Bai said to Meng Ziyi.
"But how do we destroy it?" Meng Ziyi asked.
"Leave this to me."
Holding the Seven Treasure Umbrella, Ye Bai stood before the Formation and observed his surroundings, a smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
He tossed the Seven Treasure Umbrella into the air. In an instant, it transformed into a massive iron umbrella over three meters tall, blotting out the sky. Then, the iron umbrella spun and landed on the Formation, completely covering it.
"What an amazing treasure!" Meng Ziyi exclaimed in surprise. She knew Ye Bai's identity was not simple, but she hadn't expected him to be able to use a Magical Artifact.
A faint golden light radiated from the Seven Treasure Umbrella, shining upon the Formation.
The Vengeful Spirits that had been suppressed became frenzied again, lunging toward the Seven Treasure Umbrella in an attempt to seize the treasure from Ye Bai's hands.
But Ye Bai showed no fear at all; instead, he watched coldly, allowing those monsters to approach.
"Ah..."
When those Vengeful Spirits touched the Seven Treasure Umbrella, they were immediately repelled, howling in pain. Ye Bai stood his ground with the Seven Treasure Umbrella; the Vengeful Spirits could do nothing to him. Moreover, the Seven Treasure Umbrella absorbed more and more Yin Qi, causing the Vengeful Spirits even more pain.
Suddenly, a massive pressure descended, and the entire Temple trembled as all the Sculptures shattered with a bang.
Immediately after, chains rose from the ground, passing through the walls and ceilings throughout the Temple, finally binding both Ye Bai and Meng Ziyi.
"Oh no! What is this?" Meng Ziyi cried out.
"It's a Formation! We're trapped in a Formation." Ye Bai frowned slightly and said in a heavy voice, "This Formation is very ancient. I don't know who built it, but it's actually powerful enough to trap both of us. Furthermore, there are mechanism traps set here; we almost stepped on one just now."
"Then what should we do? Are we going to die here tonight?" An expression of worry flashed across Meng Ziyi's face as she grabbed Ye Bai's arm.
"Don't worry," Ye Bai said confidently. "A mere small Formation can't do anything to us. I have a way to disable the mechanisms here, but it will take some time."
"Mhm." Hearing Ye Bai's words, Meng Ziyi immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "Then be quick, I'll wait for you here."
Ye Bai took out several pieces of yellow paper and stuck them onto the surface of the Seven Treasure Umbrella. Then he took out another Talismanic Incantation and drew intricate patterns on it. Finally, he threw the Talismanic Incantation into the Formation, where it immediately burned to ash.
A blinding golden light shot from Ye Bai's hand, striking the Formation. Then, the light erupting from those Talismanic Incantations converged, forming a thick pillar of light that shot straight toward the main entrance of the Temple.
The pillar of light crashed into the main entrance of the Temple, letting out a violent sound. The Temple shook along with it.
"Crack~" The main entrance of the Temple became distorted.
"It really works!" Ye Bai was extremely excited; he hadn't expected that using Talismanic Incantations to break the Formation would actually be effective.
The Temple shook more and more violently.
In the Live Stream Room, the hearts of the viewers also beat violently along with this soul-stirring adventure.
"Whoa, this is way too exciting! It's more satisfying than watching those special effects blockbusters!" a viewer named 'Dark Night Ghost' posted in the bullet comments.
"Mi Mi must hold on! Good luck to Great God Ye too, don't let anything happen to our goddess!" This was the concern of 'Mi Fan Sweetie'.
"These special effects are amazing; it feels like they're really fighting those Yin Souls, it's so realistic," said a newcomer viewer, 'Onlooker Passerby A', who hadn't realized that all of this was actually happening.
Inside the Temple, Ye Bai continued to focus on breaking the Formation. The impact of the light pillar showed signs of the Formation loosening, but it also triggered more hidden mechanisms.
Cracks began to appear on the ground, and bursts of black smoke with a pungent odor emerged from them.
"This Formation has a backup plan; everyone be careful," Ye Bai warned Meng Ziyi in a low voice.
Meng Ziyi followed closely behind Ye Bai, holding a peach wood sword in her hand. Ye Bai had given it to her earlier, saying it could ward off evil at critical moments.
"This black smoke doesn't look like anything good; could it be more Yin Souls?"
"It's more troublesome than Yin Souls; this is poisonous smoke. If you inhale it, even an immortal would be hard-pressed to save you."
As Ye Bai spoke, he took several Medicinal Pills from his bag. "Keep this in your mouth; it can temporarily ward off the poisonous smoke."
The two of them held the Medicinal Pills in their mouths, temporarily resisting the invasion of the poisonous smoke.
Meanwhile, outside the powder circle, Yang Mi's situation became increasingly critical. The light of the bagua mirror was constantly weakening, and her talisman paper was almost gone.
"What should I do? If this continues, I'm really going to meet my end here."
The Live Stream Room instantly exploded with activity.
"Heavens! Meng Ziyi has been attacked! What should we do?"
"Where is Great God Ye? Hurry back and save her!"
"This is too terrifying; it feels scarier than a horror movie, and it's a live stream—could someone actually die?"
The viewers' bullet comments scrolled frantically; everyone was on edge for Meng Ziyi.
At this moment, Meng Ziyi, who had been pounced upon and pinned to the ground, was terrified. She struggled desperately, waving the peach wood sword in her hand wildly.
By the dim light, she saw clearly that what had pounced on her was a monster with a hideous face. It was covered in black hair, its eyes glowed with an eerie green light, and it emitted a foul stench.
"Get away!" Meng Ziyi shouted, stabbing the monster with the peach wood sword. But the peach wood sword striking the monster was like stabbing an iron plate, only producing "clang clang" sounds.
In the entrance deep within the Tomb, Ye Bai heard Meng Ziyi's cry. He frowned, a trace of worry welling up in his heart.
But he knew he couldn't panic now; the situation inside was too complex, and he had to understand the state of things first.
He took out a Fire Starter and gave it a light blow; a faint flame lit up in the darkness, illuminating the surroundings.
This place was like a massive underground Tomb Chamber. Various ancient pottery and bronzeware were placed around, and the walls were covered with strange runes and patterns.
Ye Bai leaned close to the wall, carefully observing those runes while searching his mind for relevant information recorded in his Family's Ancient Books.
"These runes... seem to be related to an ancient Sealing Technique. Could something even more terrifying be sealed here?" Ye Bai murmured to himself.
