"Mommy, I'm not hard of hearing; that voice definitely belonged to him."
After hearing her words, Ivyah continued to ask, "So you didn't see the person in the Imperial Study?"
"Mommy, but I heard it was him..." Ivyah interrupted her, saying, "Seeing is believing, and you know that sometimes even seeing isn't necessarily believing, right?"
Luo Bingbing fell silent after hearing her. Seeing that her beloved daughter wasn't speaking, Ivyah sighed lightly and said, "If you really don't believe me, just use your Ability to probe our memories directly."
"I won't check; I have nothing to do with him anymore."
Dongfang Hao suppressed his painful anxiety and said, "Even if it's a government case, they need to understand the situation thoroughly before making a judgment, right? So even if I'm begging you, could you please clarify things? Let me die with some understanding."
"Fine, I'll check. I'll show you." As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing began to channel her Inner Strength and activated her Ability to delve into Ivyah's and Dongfang Hao's minds.
After reviewing their memories, Luo Bingbing became even more puzzled. She looked again several times and confirmed that neither of them was lying before retracting their Abilities.
Seeing that the memories in their minds matched exactly with what they had said, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but feel speechless.
Dongfang Hao and Ivyah understood her embarrassment, so neither of them asked about the results.
Suddenly, all three fell into silence. After a while, Ivyah felt the atmosphere was a bit oppressive and said, "My silly daughter! How can you be so careless? Don't you think that with Dongfang Hao's martial arts skills, if he were really acting, he would notice you standing outside the Imperial Study?"
After hearing her words, Luo Bingbing felt she had been too much just now and lowered her head.
At that moment, the Snow Spirit Fox suddenly appeared before the three of them and ran straight toward Luo Bingbing.
Just when they all thought it was going to leap onto Luo Bingbing's shoulder, it suddenly stopped at her feet and began to circle around her.
Dongfang Hao knew that the Little One must be feeling embarrassed at this moment. When he saw the Snow Spirit Fox spinning around and shaking its head, he immediately spoke up to help her out, saying, "Little Fox, what's wrong?"
The Snow Spirit Fox was aware that Ivyah had a special relationship with the Little One, and Dongfang Hao had already known that she could speak human language.
So, she directly said, "I feel like there are some unclean things on my master."
Upon hearing this, Luo Bingbing immediately squatted down and gently patted the Snow Spirit Fox on the head, saying, "You cheeky little fox, how dare you say your master is dirty."
After being hit, the Snow Spirit Fox couldn't help but let out a series of "ow ow ow" sounds. However, as soon as the sounds faded, she continued, "It's true, Master. You really have some unclean things on you, and I feel uncomfortable all over as soon as I get close."
Seeing the serious expression on the Snow Spirit Fox's face, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but furrow her brows and asked in confusion, "Little one, are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, yes! Master, think about it. Every time I see you, the first thing I want to do is jump onto your shoulder. Even just now, I thought the same way. But as soon as I ran to your side, I felt uncomfortable all over. So I think there must be something unclean on you."
After hearing what the Snow Spirit Fox said, Luo Bingbing directly asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"Well... I don't know exactly what it is, but it should be something like demons or monsters."
Dongfang Hao immediately responded to her, "Demons or monsters? Little Fox, are you sleepwalking?"
"I'm not! I'm telling the truth." As soon as the Snow Spirit Fox finished speaking, a loud voice echoed through the air.
"Bing'er, you are indeed here."
Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned to look and saw Xuan Ye floating in mid-air. At that moment, he was busy untangling the ropes binding him.
It wasn't that he liked to untie ropes in mid-air; rather, the length of those ropes only reached that height and was not long enough to reach the Bottom of the Cliff.
But the height in mid-air was no longer a problem for Xuan Ye, so he directly untied the ropes around him and floated towards the Bottom of the Cliff.
However, as he descended, he saw Ivyah and Dongfang Hao standing next to Luo Bingbing. Upon seeing them, Xuan Ye couldn't help but frown slightly.
The reason for his frown was naturally because the rules of Ling Mountain had long stipulated that outsiders were not allowed to enter, especially since this was a forbidden area of Ling Mountain.
Once Xuan Ye floated in front of him, Luo Bingbing immediately said to him, "Master, why did you come down?"
"Of course it's because of you! My Second Master and I clearly saw a phoenix fly into the forbidden area, but after searching the forbidden area, we didn't see you two. So my Second Master and I guessed that you must have come here."
After speaking, Xuan Ye turned his gaze towards Ivyah and said with confusion, "Empress Dowager, no, you are not Empress Dowager." Shaking his head slightly, he continued, "It seems what was meant to come has still come."
Everyone understood the earlier part of his words, but they were puzzled by the latter part.
"Master, what do you mean by 'what was meant to come has still come'?" Luo Bingbing immediately asked.
Upon hearing her question, Xuan Ye turned his gaze towards her. As his eyes landed on Luo Bingbing's forehead, he suddenly noticed that there were many faint black energies swirling around it.
Seeing those faint black energies, Xuan Ye couldn't help but furrow his brow tightly and said, "Bing'er, where have you been during this time?"
Before Luo Bingbing could answer, Dongfang Hao immediately said, "Master, what's wrong? Bing Bing has been at this Bottom of the Cliff for the past few days!"
Xuan Ye quickly asked, "Bing'er, didn't you return to Ling Mountain this morning?"
"There was some misunderstanding between her and Dongfang Hao; she came to this Bottom of the Cliff seven days ago. We only arrived this morning," Ivyah quickly explained.
After hearing Ivyah's words, Xuan Ye immediately said, "This is bad; it seems that the heavenly path cannot be reversed."
Luo Bingbing couldn't help but ask, "Master, what exactly are you talking about with all this cloudiness? What do you mean that the heavenly principles cannot be altered?"
"The secrets of heaven must not be revealed."
Dongfang Hao was not concerned about the heavenly principles or secrets; his main concern was Luo Bingbing. So, he immediately asked, "Master, why did you ask Bing Bing where she has been during this time?"
Although he had not formally joined the Ling Mountain sect, Luo Bingbing's master was naturally also his master, so he addressed him as such.
"Because there is a lot of faint black energy swirling around her forehead, and that black energy represents what we call wandering souls. From the density of that black energy, it seems that these unclean entities are quite powerful Vengeful Spirits."
Upon hearing this, Ivyah immediately asked, "What is a Vengeful Spirit?"
"A Vengeful Spirit is a soul that dies with immense resentment. After death, that resentment cannot dissipate and cannot enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The soul wanders aimlessly and eventually learns Cursed Techniques through chance, ultimately becoming a Vengeful Spirit."
"So you're saying this Vengeful Spirit is quite powerful? Isn't Bing Bing in danger?"
Xuan Ye shook his head slightly and said, "For ordinary people, Vengeful Spirits are indeed formidable, but for you all, they are nothing to worry about."
"I told you I wasn't lying; now do you believe me?" Snow Spirit Fox chimed in at the right moment.
Since it was Xuan Ye's first time hearing Snow Spirit Fox speak human language, he was momentarily surprised. However, it was just a fleeting moment before he regained his composure; after all, he had long known about Snow Spirit Fox's uniqueness.
Then Xuan Ye asked Luo Bingbing if she had encountered any unclean entities during this time. Luo Bingbing replied honestly, "Yes, the night before the birthday banquet, I dreamt of Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao. The next evening, outside the door of the Imperial Study, I saw that maid beside me had the face of Eastern Spirit."
"Darling, I believe what you heard outside the Imperial Study that day was all their doing," Ivyah confidently told Luo Bingbing.
Afterward, Luo Bingbing asked Xuan Ye to help her cleanse the dirty energy on her. Xuan Ye responded by telling her that she had the ability to do it herself.
Luo Bingbing immediately set up a barrier in the open space using her Ability.
After that, she used her Ability to clear out the wandering souls attached to her and directly drove them into the barrier.
The dark energy on her forehead gradually dissipated, while the number of souls within the barrier increased one by one.
Since Luo Bingbing was using a gold-level Ability to eliminate the dark energy all at once, anything within that dark energy would reveal its true form.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao, still hiding in the Silver Moon Kingdom Palace, sensed that powerful force and, in order to protect themselves, expelled the souls they had devoured as shields.
Dark entities fear light the most, and the golden light of her Ability was not just light; it also had the power to dissolve everything.
Because the barrier set up by Luo Bingbing was not invisible, Dongfang Hao and Xuan Ye were able to see clearly the souls inside the barrier.
Gradually, more and more souls filled the barrier, including some familiar faces, but the souls of Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao still did not appear.
At this moment, Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao were starting to feel anxious because a significant portion of the souls they possessed had already been taken by Luo Bingbing's Ability light.
They knew that if things continued at this speed, within half an hour, all of their souls would disappear, their Cursed Technique would be rendered ineffective, and they themselves might even be extinguished by that Ability light.
Thus, they decided to make one last counterattack.
Sensing their approach, Luo Bingbing instructed Xuan Ye and Ivyah to watch over the barrier while she used her Ability to draw Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao away to a hundred meters distance.
Suddenly, a fierce wind swept through the Bottom of the Cliff, bringing with it a chilling aura that seemed to herald the arrival of Vengeful Spirits.
Luo Bingbing sat alone on a large rock, waiting for their arrival.
Originally, Dongfang Hao was supposed to stay by Luo Bingbing's side, but Luo Bingbing refused. Xuan Ye also mentioned that Dongfang Hao carried a strong aura of the Dragon Yang, and if he stayed next to Luo Bingbing, those Vengeful Spirits might not dare to show themselves.
Sitting quietly on a large rock, Luo Bingbing suddenly felt that the chilling wind was more penetrating than before. Soon after, two shadows appeared behind her.
Needless to say, those two shadows were the Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao.
"Is sneaking around all you can do?" Although Luo Bingbing couldn't see them, she could sense their presence.
"Hehehe... Don't you know that this is the proper conduct for us as spirits?" Ouyang Xiao replied mockingly.
Hearing his tone reminded Luo Bingbing of that dream, and she instantly realized he was implying she lacked character.
Luo Bingbing wasn't angry; instead, a smirk appeared on her lips as she said with a wicked grin, "When you were alive, I called you foolish! You still won't admit it. Now that you're ghosts, you're still just as foolish. Tsk tsk tsk..."
Watching Luo Bingbing shake her head while speaking, the Eastern Spirit felt quite displeased and immediately launched an attack against her.
Casually glancing at the "black water" flying towards her, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but sneer, "Is this your Cursed Technique? Is this all you've got?"
Upon hearing this, the Eastern Spirit became furious and vanished without a trace.
Luo Bingbing didn't let her guard down at her sudden disappearance. Although she had already activated her Ability to sense spiritual energy, the Eastern Spirit was using Cursed Technique to conceal itself, so it would still take some time to locate it.
While Luo Bingbing searched for the Eastern Spirit's whereabouts, Ouyang Xiao began attacking her from the front. She didn't take his frontal attack seriously at all; with a light wave of her hand, Ouyang Xiao's attack vanished without a trace.
However, just as Luo Bingbing was about to counterattack, she heard a roar from beneath the ground. Startled by the sound, she froze for a moment. In that instant of distraction, the Eastern Spirit suddenly appeared behind her and launched a fierce attack.
From a distance, Dongfang Hao saw this and immediately ran towards Luo Bingbing while shouting, "Stop!"
As soon as the attack from Eastern Spirit was launched, Dongfang Hao's voice was heard, and then he quickly rushed over.
Dongfang Hao knew that Eastern Spirit had already transformed into a ghostly Vengeful Spirit, and her attacks were beyond what an ordinary person could withstand. Therefore, he maximized his internal energy and instantly flashed to Luo Bingbing's side, just in time to block that fierce strike for her.
In an instant, his body was sent flying away like a piece of torn cloth.
At this moment, Luo Bingbing had already regained her senses. Seeing Dongfang Hao's body uncontrollably drifting away, she quickly moved to his side and caught him.
"Are you an idiot? You can't even dodge, yet you still come rushing over."
Although Dongfang Hao felt terrible, upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, he revealed a faint smile and slowly replied, "I'm willing to be foolish for you."
Upon hearing his words, Luo Bingbing's eyes turned slightly red. She looked intently at Dongfang Hao and said, "I'm sorry."
Seeing Little One's slightly red eyes, Dongfang Hao felt compelled to say, "Wife, don't cry. I don't blame you, really. Besides, this isn't your fault. When you cry, my heart hurts even more."
"Okay, I won't cry. You can't do this again in the future. Remember, even if an attack is right in front of me, I can still dodge it in an instant."
Seeing Little One's serious expression, Dongfang Hao could only weakly agree.
Then Luo Bingbing used her Ability to heal Dongfang Hao's injuries.
At the moment Eastern Spirit heard Dongfang Hao's voice, she froze. When she saw that her attack had landed on him, she immediately became dazed.
Although she knew that she didn't truly love Dongfang Hao, he had occupied a significant place in her heart for too long. So now, whenever something related to him happened, she would instinctively lag behind.
However, Ouyang Xiao was different; he continued to launch attacks at Luo Bingbing. But by this time, Luo Bingbing had already regained her focus and effortlessly neutralized his attacks with a wave of her hand.
As Dongfang Hao rushed towards Luo Bingbing, Ivyah and Xuan Ye also noticed Luo Bingbing's peril and hurried to the scene.
However, since they were a step behind Dongfang Hao, by the time they arrived, the tragedy had already occurred.
Seeing that the Little One had gone to rescue Dongfang Hao, they immediately launched an attack on Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao. Although Ivyah lacked internal strength and martial arts skills, she still possessed abilities, which made it difficult for Eastern Spirit to deal with her at that moment.
After engaging with Ouyang Xiao, Xuan Ye found himself at a disadvantage. This was partly because he had not set up any formations and partly because he did not possess the same formidable strength as Luo Bingbing.
The two sides were evenly matched, resulting in a stalemate as they continued to fight. Seeing that Ivyah and her companions were struggling, the Snow Spirit Fox and the Phoenix rushed in to assist.
With the addition of the fox and phoenix, the tide of battle quickly turned, forcing Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao to retreat.
At this moment, they had no time to pay attention to the barrier that was imprisoning the souls.
Just when they were oblivious to the barrier, it suddenly vanished inexplicably.
After cornering Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao, Ivyah and Xuan Ye prepared to deliver the final blow. However, before they could strike, the souls of Eastern Spirit and Ouyang Xiao suddenly disappeared before their eyes.
