Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

The once frail little girl has grown into a beautiful young woman...

Li Moxuan pulled Bai Shui'er, who was clinging to him, out of his arms and said with a hint of helplessness, "Shui'er, you're all grown up now. At least have some basic understanding of what it means to be a girl!"

"I'm your brother, don't keep throwing yourself at me all the time..."

If Beiluo Shimen sees this in the future, he might misunderstand that he captured Shui'er to be his child bride!

Bai Shui'er pouted, "Anyway, they're not blood relatives, so what's the big deal?"

She never considered Li Moxuan as her brother...

Li Moxuan had no way to deal with Bai Shui'er; he couldn't very well hit or scold her, could he?

He couldn't bear to part with it...

"Okay! Let's change the question..."

Li Moxuan reached out and tapped the armor on his chest. "Shui'er, doesn't it hurt when you bump your head on it every time?"

"It's okay, I'm used to it..."

Chapter 12: Two Gatekeepers

"By the way, Brother Moxuan, are you going out this time?"

Bai Shui'er took Li Moxuan's hand, and the two walked together on the bridge formed by the giant vines of the hibiscus tree.

"Yes, I've recently received news from a few people, and I'm planning to go find them..."

"What? You want to come along?"

Bai Shui'er nodded vigorously, looking at Li Moxuan expectantly, "Is it okay?"

"Sure, but you have to listen to me..."

Li Moxuan wasn't worried about Bai Shui'er's strength, since apart from not having a guardian spirit, she was stronger than ordinary spirit users in every other aspect.

Even Li Moxuan himself found it hard to believe, but Bai Shui'er's Hell Path had now reached the fourth level of Great Scorching Heat, which was a small realm higher than Li Moxuan's Hell Path.

Li Moxuan did indeed activate his powers, but Bai Shui'er completely stopped acting and cultivated as easily as drinking water.

In the context of the cultivation world, she would be no different from a genius sect saintess with cheat codes.

Bai Shui'er readily agreed, "Of course, when have I ever not listened to you?"

Li Moxuan rolled her eyes. "Then stop trying to cling to me all the time..."

"do not want!"

Bai Shui'er decisively rejected Li Moxuan's "unreasonable" request, and Li Moxuan also gave up completely and started talking about serious matters.

"Let's invite Muli along this time too!"

"May I?"

"Just have her tell Fusanghua. Hasn't she always wanted to go out and see the world?"

"Okay, I'll go get her!"

Soon, Muli was pulled over by Bai Shui'er.

She was about the same height as Bai Shui'er, and also had short white hair that covered her pointed ears. She wore a pink hair clip that Bai Shui'er had given her.

As for her clothes, she was wearing a white cropped top, jeans, and a white hooded cape.

"Brother Moxuan, are you sure it's okay?"

Muli was still a little worried about Big Guy. What if he attacked the Greedy Camp while she was away?

"Don't worry! Didn't you already talk to him about it? Or do you not even trust him that much?"

"Yup!"

Bai Shui'er also advised, "Muli, haven't you always wanted to see what the outside world is like? Isn't this the perfect opportunity?"

Muli nodded, still somewhat worried, but also full of anticipation for the journey ahead.

"Brother Moxuan, where are we going this time?"

"Go find the two door gods!"

"Door gods?"

……

Shuoyang Street.

"Brother Moxuan, is this the place where the person you're looking for is?"

Bai Shui'er carefully observed her surroundings. This place resembled a village, inhabited by many spirits, and she didn't seem to see any evil spirits yet.

It seems the Soul Guardians here are quite responsible! At least much better than the other Soul Guardians we've encountered along the way...

"This should be it!"

Li Moxuan led the two towards the village. He had inquired and learned that the guardian spirit here was Yuchi Gong's spirit host, Yuchi Lietang.

"Muli, are you alright?"

Bai Shui'er noticed that Mu Li's complexion seemed unwell and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Muli shook his head. "I just don't understand why there are so many evil spirits and ghosts in these Soul Towns..."

The reason why there are so many ghosts on Nandou Street is because of the presence of the Greedy Camp; many ghosts go there to seek refuge.

Evil spirits are mostly associated with the Fusang Divine Tree, and those evil spirits are extremely envious of the spiritual power contained within the Fusang Tree.

These Soul Towns have neither gathered spirit mediums nor divine trees, yet the number of undead and evil spirits is no less than that of Nan Dou Street.

Bai Shui'er guessed, "Perhaps it's because of the years of war in the human world?"

Muli shook her head. She didn't think so. A thousand years ago, the human world was much more chaotic than it is now. Every day, not only soldiers died in battle, but also disaster victims died of starvation and disease.

Even so, the number of the undead and evil spirits remained relatively stable, unlike now...

She always felt that something was wrong in the Spirit Realm!

Li Moxuan was a little surprised. Muli was quite clever; there was indeed a problem on the Spirit Realm side.

A hundred years ago, Ying Chengfeng made a mess of the Spirit Realm, resulting in the loss of the four divine pearls used to maintain the operation of the Formless Gate, also known as the Reincarnation Gate.

The Wheel of Reincarnation Pearl remains in the hands of the Great Emperor, the Void Pearl has fallen into the hands of the Kingdom Organization, the Supreme Pearl has fallen into Bodhi Street, and the Xihe Pearl has merged into the Spirit Tree.

Ying Chengfeng's actions halved the efficiency of the Wuxiang Sect in purifying the dead, and five years ago, Huangfu Longdou, along with the Tiangang Longqi Generals, orchestrated the Tongqing Banquet Incident.

The Formless Gate was thus damaged. It took the Great Emperor's life to successfully repair it, but even after the repair, its function of purifying the dead was basically gone.

Not only that, the Spirit Masters also tricked the Soul Guardians into working for them for free, promising that after death they wouldn't enter the Spirit Realm but would instead become mentally unstable evil spirits...

"There's an evil spirit! Run!"

Hearing the commotion from not far away, Li Moxuan came to his senses and hurriedly led Bai Shui'er and Mu Li over.

Now that the evil spirits have appeared, Yuchi Lietang should also show up, right?

When the three arrived at the scene, they found a giant evil spirit, as tall as an attic, wreaking havoc in the village.

Although some of the undead tried to resist, it was futile in the face of such a vast difference in strength.

Li Moxuan did not find Yuchi Lietang, but he did not intend to wait any longer. Just as he was about to make a move, Bai Shui'er stopped him.

"Brother Moxuan, leave this guy to me!"

Bai Shui'er used her spiritual power to condense a silver spear in her hand and spoke confidently.

"Okay, be careful!"

Li Moxuan wasn't worried about Bai Shui'er. With her strength, even without a guardian spirit, she could easily deal with this evil spirit.

"Do not worry!"

Bai Shui'er brandished her spear and charged towards the giant evil spirit, shouting, "Big guy, your opponent is here!"

To be honest, Li Moxuan felt that Bai Shui'er was becoming more and more like Huangfu Longdou. She possessed spiritual power that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, but she did not have a guardian spirit to match it.

Of course, Li Moxuan didn't intend for Bai Shui'er to use the summoning spell to find a guardian spirit in the Great Thousand Worlds like Huangfu Longdou did; it was too dangerous.

If Cao Ren hadn't intervened, Huangfu Longdou might have died while using the incantation to summon the gods...

Li Moxuan didn't want her to take such a risk. With her current strength, she was already strong enough. Even if there was greater danger, he could withstand it himself!

Besides, there is another reason: Li Moxuan does not know how to use the divine incantation, and in the entire underworld, only Ying Chengfeng and Huangfu Longdou probably do.

This was also what reassured Li Moxuan the most...

Soon, without any surprises, Bai Shui'er easily killed the giant evil spirit.

She ran excitedly to Li Moxuan, "Brother Moxuan, I've broken through another minor realm!"

Li Moxuan fell silent. Who exactly is the protagonist?

How did you break through after just one fight?

Chapter 13: A Descendant of Emperor Taizong...

Shuoyang Street.

"Pretty impressive! You're the boss here?"

Qin Wanggong, the Soul Guardian General of Yishou Street, led a group of his men into Shuoyang Street and found the Soul Guardian General Yuchi Lietang there.

"Hand over the murderer!"

"Fuck off!"

Yuchi Lietang felt that Qin Wanggong was there to cause trouble, and how could his subordinates possibly go to other Zhenhun Streets?

"You dare to bring so many people to my territory and act so recklessly? You've got some nerve!"

"And what evidence do you have that my men did it?!"

"My men said it! That guy fled to your neighborhood. If you keep protecting your own, I'll tear this whole place down!"

Yuchi Lietang didn't believe Qin Wanggong's one-sided story and said firmly, "Stop talking nonsense. Even if you are the Soul Guardian General, I'll still beat you up if you speak rudely!"
