Xiang Xueer was puzzled, suddenly realizing something in her subconscious. Could it be related to Sacrifice? But that didn't seem likely; the Exorcists had already been rescued, and there were no souls left for Sacrifice.
Souls? Xiang Xueer turned to look at the Hundred Demon Legion below. This was a ready-made source of souls! She cursed angrily, "This bastard! So this is what he was after."
Without having time to discuss with Li Yunyang and the others, Xiang Xueer mounted Taotie and followed closely behind Bakemono. What exactly was he trying to summon? She absolutely could not let him succeed.
Xiang Xueer and Taotie chased for a long time. After a while, she looked up at the sky; it seemed like dawn was approaching. She wondered how Li Yunyang and the others were doing and whether Ghost Night Village had held its ground.
Despite following for so long, she still hadn't caught sight of Bakemono. Xiang Xueer looked around and said, "Isn't this the road to Duckbill Mountain?"
After cautiously scanning the area, Taotie finally spotted Bakemono: "He's over there, entering a cave at the foot of the mountain!"
The two landed on the ground. Dense weeds and leaves concealed the cave entrance, making it very difficult to notice. There must be something hidden inside this cave.
Xiang Xueer and Taotie entered the cave. It was pitch black inside. She lit a torch, and water dripped from the Stalactites above. Suddenly, she recalled being captured by the Headless Demon in a similar cave before.
After walking a short distance, they could vaguely see some light ahead. They exchanged glances and rushed forward. In front of them was a circular depression in the ground with a pentagram-shaped altar in the center. Bakemono stood right in the middle, with a crystal ball displaying the current battle situation at Ghost Night Village.
“Bakemono, what kind of trick are you playing?” Xiang Xueer shouted angrily, raising her dagger and throwing it at him. With a 'thud', the dagger fell to the ground; blood-red talismans surrounding the pentagram altar blocked her dagger from entering.
“It’s a barrier!” Taotie immediately recognized it. He looked around at the shape of the barrier: “This barrier is very powerful; getting through won’t be easy!”
“No way!” Xiang Xueer frowned. “Bakemono, what exactly are you trying to summon?”
“Oh? So you’re interested too?” Bakemono, squinting as he admired the battle situation in the crystal ball, turned to look at Xiang Xueer. “Hehe, naturally it's someone extraordinary; you little girl aren’t even worthy of her little toe!”
With eagle-like eyes fixed on the barrier, Xiang Xueer took a small step forward, attempting to break through it. However, as soon as she reached the edge, a powerful force pushed her body back.
“Ha ha ha!” Bakemono laughed loudly, slowly lowering the crystal ball in his hand, then raising both hands high: “Stop dreaming, you can't come in. Just watch, the great Lady Serpent is about to return!”
Serpent Empress? What kind of monster is that? Xiang Xueer suddenly felt a chill wind blowing through the cave. She reached out to touch her arm, goosebumps rising all over her body, and her hair stood on end.
Bakemono held the crystal ball high, muttering something that sounded like a spell. The ground began to tremble, and on the altar lay the corpse of a woman, with blood on her nose indicating she had just died.
The ground continued to shake, and the sky outside began to change dramatically. Xiang Xueer frowned as she watched everything about to unfold but felt utterly powerless to stop it.
At the same time, Li Yunyang leaned on the Azure Dragon Sword, sitting down heavily on the ground as he looked at the resurrected Ghost Legion, completely at a loss.
“We can't hold them back! We really can't hold them back!” The Exorcists, after fighting for two hours, looked up at the dark clouds covering the sky: “What should we do? Why hasn't it gotten light yet?”
Lan Ran Qingtian was already covered in wounds, one hand propped against the wall as he stared at the returning monsters: “Damn it, this is never-ending. If this continues, we definitely won't be able to hold our ground!”
The dark Ghost Legion, wielding massive scythes, charged towards the Exorcists at the village entrance. Lan Ran Qingtian stood in the middle of the entrance and shouted angrily: “Monsters, if you want to enter the village, you'll have to step over my dead body!”
At that moment, an axe suddenly flew out from inside and struck down one of the monsters standing at the front. Everyone turned in surprise to look.
At the village entrance stood the villagers of Ghost Night Village. Men, women, and even elders stepped forward with weapons in hand—some with digging hoes and others with farming rakes. They shouted angrily: “Monsters, this is our home; you shall not take a single step inside!”
“Is it really the common people?” Li Yunyang exclaimed in shock. “Didn’t I tell you not to come out? It’s too dangerous here!”
“Exorcists, we must protect our own home; thank you for your help!”
“Yes! You risk your lives to protect us; how can we hide in our homes? Now we stand united with you to defend our homeland!”
"Kill!" The people of Ghost Night Village raised their weapons, beginning to resist the rule of the demons for the first time. For years, they had been too afraid to venture out at night, but now, seeing their loved ones being killed, they could no longer remain silent. They knew that only by fighting could they protect their families.
Humans are weak, and their weakness is their flaw. It is precisely because they understand their own frailty that they realize that only by uniting can they conquer darkness and defeat evil.
"Hmm?" Bakemono watched as the situation in the crystal ball suddenly reversed. He never expected that the people of Ghost Night Village would dare to resist his Hundred Demon Legion. "Damn humans, do you think you can win like this? It's too late!"
He laughed maniacally as the crystal ball floated in the air, a powerful magical force erupted from within, heading towards the cave, traversing through forests and rivers. It was as if a sandstorm was approaching Ghost Night Village. Li Yunyang looked up at the commotion in the sky.
Suddenly, that force crashed down like thunder, with a deafening roar that enveloped the entire Ghost Legion. In an instant, the group of monsters seemed frozen in place.
"What’s happening? Why have the monsters suddenly stopped moving?" Everyone was momentarily stunned. The dark clouds rolled ominously above, resembling Hellfire boiling in the depths of hell.
The monsters stood still, their agonized howls shaking the entire forest as a powerful force pulled at their souls from within. Seeing this, Li Yunyang quickly urged everyone to retreat.
With a loud 'boom', the monsters fell one after another, their souls completely drained, while the black light from afar began to pull their souls away.
Xiang Xueer and Taotie sensed that the situation had exceeded her expectations. The giant cave began to shake incessantly, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
"We need to get out of here." Xiang Xueer leaped onto Taotie's back, and together they quickly left the cave entrance. Inside the cave, only Bakemono remained, still holding his crystal ball and roaring with all his might: "Lady Serpent, Lady Serpent is about to return!"
The black light rapidly returned from the sky above Ghost Night Village into the cave, bringing with it hundreds of souls that were directly injected into the body of a young female corpse on the Sacrifice altar.
