[After receiving Zhong Li's reply, it also means that you and Boyang can continue your journey to Wuwangpo. Just when you and Boyang were about to leave, the girl also packed her luggage and insisted on going to Wuwangpo with you.]
[Of course you didn't let the girl take the risk. In the end, you promised her that you would visit her at Wangshu Inn again after you resolved the matter at Wuwangpo. This is why she gave up the idea of going to Wuwangpo with you.]
[Leave Wangshu Inn and head north. Not far from Dihuazhou is the Stone Forest. Wuwangpo is to the west of the Stone Forest. As soon as you step onto the land of Wuwangpo, the cold air around you makes you shiver uncontrollably.]
[You already have some knowledge of magic, so you know that this is the so-called "yin energy". If a person with a weak constitution stays in such an environment for a long time, it is easy for the yin energy to enter the body and cause weakness and illness. However, you and Boyang have made preparations before coming here, so this yin energy is just a little low in temperature for the two of you.]
[“Be careful. Many people have died in Liyue in the past two years. There should be a lot of wandering ghosts in Hopeless Hill.” Boyang took out a few talismans from his arms and looked around vigilantly. You also became alert and observed the surroundings. ]
[You have been in the area of Hopeless Hill for only a dozen minutes when a dozen balls of green flames appeared in the sky. Boyang explained to you that those will-o'-the-wisp are the lowest level ghosts. They have no thoughts or forms of their own and can only move according to instinct. They must have been attracted by the human aura of the two of you.]
[After saying this, Bo Yang threw out a talisman, and the dozen or so ghostly flames quickly disappeared in the air.]
[You two continue to move forward, and soon you see ghosts of other appearances, some of which look like adults, and some of which look like children. However, these ghosts do not have the strength to stop you from moving forward. You continue to go deeper, and soon you realize that something is wrong...]
"Important plot has been triggered. Entering immersion mode..."
"Trigger mission: Yasha's obsession."
"Mission content: Kill the remaining obsession of Yasha in the world."
Yaksha?
When seeing the name of this race, the first person that came to Kujo Tsumugi's mind was Xiao, who was known as the Great Demon Slayer in Liyue, but she quickly shook her head and rejected the idea.
I remember that in the background setting, there were several Yakshas besides Xiao, but those Yakshas died one by one in their long fighting career, and only Xiao survived to the end.
So the mission this time is to leave the obsession of a certain Yaksha behind after his death in Hopeless Hill? I don't know if Boyang and I can deal with it...
Tsumugi Kujo was a little nervous, because swordsmanship was of no use against these ghosts and obsessions, and she had only been learning magic for a little over a month. If it was just dealing with ordinary ghosts, Tsumugi Kujo would still be somewhat confident, but facing the obsession of Yasha...
"Brother Boyanglai, I have a bad feeling." Kujo Tsumugi said calmly, her eyes always observing the surroundings with vigilance. Since she started practicing magic, her sensitivity to danger has reached a higher level, and now it is close to the level of "precognition", so she is still very confident in her premonition.
Ever since Tsumugi Kujo entered the immersion mode, she felt a faint sense of crisis pervading her surroundings, like a shadow looming over her heart, and she felt very bad.
"Really?" After hearing what Kujo Tsumugi said, Boyang also became serious.
The stronger a person is, the more he cares about those tiny details. Bo Yang already knew that Kujo Tsumugi was more sensitive to danger than ordinary people, so he would naturally pay attention to Kujo Tsumugi's premonition. So he said, "In that case, why don't we go to the hut in front and rest for a while. I can set up a formation around the hut so that those evil spirits can't get close."
"Okay." Kujo Tsumugi nodded. She and Boyang had to save their energy for the next battle.
The two of them quickly arrived at a deserted town, found a small hut to rest, and set up a magic circle around them. Kujo Tsumugi decided to give Boyang a shot of prevention first, so that he would be ready for a big battle, so he said, "Brother Boyang, do you think there is a possibility that Yasha's obsession exists in Hopeless Slope now?"
"Huh? How can that be--" Hearing what Kujo Tsumugi said, Boyang subconsciously wanted to refute, but he immediately changed his words and said: "No, if it's Yasha... maybe it's really possible."
"Wuwangpo is the intersection of the Yin and Yang worlds. Now that a large amount of Yin energy has gathered, the imbalance of Yin and Yang has caused the passage to the Yin world to be opened. Yakshas are a very special race. When they fight, they absorb the karma of the dead. It can be said that they are a collection of ghosts and monsters. If Yakshas are nostalgic for the world when they die, then it is not impossible for their ghosts to return to the world of the living through the opened passage to the Yin world..."
As he spoke, Boyang's expression became more and more ugly.
"You suddenly ask me this question, could it be that..."
"I suspect that there is a former Yaksha's obsession inside Hopeless Hill."
The atmosphere in the room became stagnant after hearing what Kujo Tsumugi said.
"Do you think that with the strength of the two of us, we can deal with Yasha's obsession?" asked Kujo Tsumugi.
"It depends on how much strength that Yaksha has left." Bo Yang shook his head and said, "The spell itself has a great restraint on demons and monsters. If the Yaksha is not too strong, it shouldn't be a problem for the two of us to deal with it."
Hearing this, Kujo Tsumugi nodded.
The mission requires Kujo Tsumugi to kill Yasha's obsession, which means that Kujo Tsumugi and Boyang are at least capable of fighting against Yasha's obsession, otherwise they will be killed in seconds when they meet, so how can they complete the mission?
"But this is just the worst guess. Maybe we are overthinking it, hahaha." Feeling that the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing, Boyang laughed and said.
"Yes." Kujo Tsumugi nodded in response and smiled.
Afterwards, the two of them rested for a while in the hut and headed towards the depths of Hopeless Slope again...

Chapter 31 Ambush!
Kujo Tsumugi threw out a talisman, and the small talisman instantly turned into a white lightning and flew towards the ghost. The ghost hit by the lightning let out a miserable wail, and the light on its body became much dimmer, but it was still alive and did not disappear.
Bo Yang, who was standing by, saw this scene and also threw out a talisman. This time, the powerful lightning directly killed the ghost and did not leave any trace in the world.
"Tsk."
Seeing the huge difference in the power of the spells they cast, Kujo Tsumugi could not help but be shocked. After all, she had only learned spells for more than a month. Even if she had a good talent, the number and power of spells that Kujo Tsumugi could master were far less than Boyang's.
"I say, isn't the current situation a bit weird?" On the way forward, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but ask.
As the two went deeper and deeper into the center of Wuwangpo, the number of ghosts they encountered not only did not increase, but decreased greatly.
"Indeed, this situation is very abnormal." Bo Yang also nodded in agreement, but he didn't have any good solution. He couldn't just give up the exploration just because something was wrong with Wuwang Slope, right? After all, they came here to solve the possible anomalies in Wuwang Slope.
There was nothing Boyang and Kujo Tsumugi could do except to be more alert to the enemies that might be lurking around.
"Something is wrong... I feel a growing sense of crisis, as if something is coming towards us... Come with me quickly."
After saying that, Kujo Tsumugi took Boyang away from the main road and hid in the bushes hidden by the roadside.
"Shh... don't talk."
Kujo Tsumugi made a gesture to keep quiet and placed talismans around him that could conceal his breath.
The two squatted in the bushes and waited quietly for more than ten minutes. Just when Boyang was getting impatient, a figure slowly appeared at the end of the main road they had just walked on... or to be more precise, a ghost...
Even if ordinary ghosts successfully condense their bodies, their bodies will emit an unnatural dark green light. However, the ghost in front of him looked almost the same as an ordinary person from a distance. If it weren't for the dark green will-o'-the-wisp in his eye sockets, no one would have associated him with a ghost.
Moreover, although the clothes of the man in front of him were very much in the style of Liyue, they were quite different from the current style. He wore an ancient rock-colored robe that covered most of his body. His exposed face would make countless little fans scream like crazy. Even Kujo Tsumugi had to admit this.
Such a handsome man who is unrivaled in the world has now become a wandering ghost, which makes people sigh at the cruelty of the world.
Beside the man, there was a floating elemental ball condensed from pure rock elements. Kujo Tsumugi didn't recognize what it was, but guessed that it should be some kind of magical weapon.
Unfortunately, except for Xiao, the other Yakshas did not appear in the game because they died too early, so Kujo Tsumugi had no impression of them and didn't know what the magic weapons floating around them were for.
However, Kujo Tsumugi soon got the answer.
When the Wandering Yaksha passed by a house, several ghosts rushed out of it. The magic weapon beside the Wandering Yaksha immediately launched an attack. Several rock-attribute energy balls shot out from the magic weapon, and after drawing several arcs in the air, they directly hit the ghosts that were flying over. Those ghosts were destroyed in an instant without even a wail.
Seeing this scene, you and Boyang looked at each other.
Okay, now I know why there are fewer ghosts in the center of Wuwangpo than in the surrounding areas.
At this time, Boyang used a sound transmission talisman.
"It seems that your guess is right. A Yaksha really appeared in Wuwang Hill. The good news is that he has almost eliminated all the ghosts in the center of Wuwang Hill. The number of ghosts has decreased, the surrounding Yin energy will also decrease, and the passage between the Yin and Yang worlds will automatically close. In this way, there is no need to worry about other ghosts from the Yin world."
"But as I said before, Yaksha will absorb the karma of the dead. If we allow this Yaksha to absorb the karma of those ghosts like this, after he kills all the ghosts in Wuwang Slope, his strength will be increased to an extremely terrifying level."
"Um...Brother Boyang, I've been wanting to ask you for a long time, what is this karma you keep talking about?"
"You don't even know this... Oh, I almost forgot you're from Mond." Bo Yang slapped his forehead and said, "Karma is complicated to explain. You can think of it as the sins or negative emotions accumulated throughout a person's life. The more karma a Yaksha absorbs, the stronger they become. However, as a price, their rationality will become less, until they go completely crazy in the end... Those Yakshas in history died because they absorbed too much karma."
"Then what should we do? The magic weapon on the other party can automatically attack the enemy. It is obvious that it is not an ordinary item. Can we really defeat the other party with our strength? Not to mention that the Yaksha just now hasn't made a move yet. We don't know how strong he is yet."
During the moment when Boyang and Kujo Tsumugi were talking, the wandering Yaksha obsession gradually walked away along the road, so the two of them came out from the bushes where they were hiding to discuss their plan.
"This Yaksha seems to only wander on the main road, so can we go around in front of him, set up some kind of formation, and sneak attack this old comrade who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years, how about that, Brother Boyang?"
"Well, this is indeed a feasible strategy." Boyang's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"And we can also plan our escape route in advance, so that even if we can't win, at least we can escape safely." Kujo Tsumugi added.
"Well, let's do as Miss Tsumugi wishes."
The two of them secretly followed Yasha Zhinian from behind for a while, and after discovering that he indeed only wandered on the main road, they went around to the road he had to take. Boyang was responsible for preparing the formation, while Kujo Tsumugi was responsible for planning the escape route and clearing out the surrounding ghosts.
Soon, everything was ready. The two hid in a small hut. After half an hour of waiting, a staggering figure appeared on the road in the distance.
Yaksha is coming.
Kujo Tsumugi and Boyang smiled at each other.
One step... two steps... soon, Yaksha walked into the formation set up by Boyang, but Boyang did not activate the formation immediately. It was not until Yaksha walked to the center of the formation that Boyang finally took action.
Dozens or even hundreds of talismans flew up into the sky automatically without wind, and linked into a talisman chain that tightly wrapped around Yaksha. At the same time, the formation that had been drawn in advance on the ground also began to shine brightly, suppressing Yaksha's strength to the lowest level.
After being attacked, Yasha reacted immediately. He struggled to break free from the talisman chains tied to his body, but how could he break free so easily from the trap carefully designed by Boyang? Under the suppression of the ground formation, Yasha's strength was reduced by at least 30%, and Kujo Tsumugi and Boyang did not give Yasha a chance to break free from the talisman chains. Almost at the moment the formation was activated, the two threw out all the talismans on their bodies. In an instant, fire and lightning appeared in the formation, and soon Yasha's figure was submerged...
Chapter 32: Marshal Teng Snake!
The smoke and dust cleared, and Yaksha's figure reappeared. His originally gorgeous robe had become tattered, and his body was covered with large and small marks of electric shocks. One of his arms had disappeared, but he was still supporting his body and did not fall down.
"Tsk, it's really troublesome, why not just die like this?" Seeing this scene, Kujo Tsumugi couldn't help but curse, then turned to look at Boyang, "Brother Boyang, let's go quickly, you know, injured beasts are the most dangerous."
"That's true." Boyang nodded in response.
The previous attack had consumed most of the talismans they had, and the remaining ones were of little use.
So, Kujo Tsumugi and Boyang ignored the Yasha who seemed to be seriously injured and decisively started to run.
The two of them had just run out for more than ten meters when Kujo Tsumugi felt a strong energy fluctuation coming from behind her. Kujo Tsumugi looked back and the scene in front of her almost scared her to death.
The magic weapon that was originally floating around Yaksha suddenly shone brightly, and dozens of golden energy balls were separated from it. Then the shapes of these energy balls began to change, and within a few seconds they turned into golden spears, with the tips of the spears flashing with cold light pointing directly at Kujo Tsumugi and Boyang.
"Fuck! Isn't this a Yaksha? How did he suddenly turn into a golden one?"
If you don't find cover in this situation, you will have to experience the feeling of being pierced by thousands of bullets.
"Brother Boyang, run to the house!"
Kujo Tsumugi shouted and immediately ran into a house nearby. The place where Kujo Tsumugi and Boyang chose to ambush Yaksha was in an abandoned village, so it was not difficult to find obstacles to avoid.
After noticing the situation behind him, Boyang did not have time to run into the house, but immediately ran to the back of a house and hid.
Then, dozens of spears flew out.
Accompanied by the sound of breaking glass, dozens of spears immediately flew into the room through the window.
"Huh...this is so dangerous."
Kujo Tsumugi, who was hiding under the table, looked at the dozen spears that pierced the table in horror. The rest of the spears were stuck diagonally on the floor. If Kujo Tsumugi had not dodged quickly, she would have turned into a hedgehog by now.
"Fortunately, this Yasha's brain isn't very good. If it were me, I would definitely make the spear explode."
"Boom! Bang, bang, bang!"
As soon as Kujo Tsumugi finished her words, the spears around her exploded immediately. The largest explosion was caused by the dozen spears that pierced the table. As for the other explosions, they were not much bigger than firecrackers.
Being so close, it was no surprise that Kujo Tsumugi was caught in the explosion, but her sturdy armor saved her life. Apart from her head being hit and shattered when she was blown away, Kujo Tsumugi was not seriously injured.
"Miss Tsumugi, are you okay?"
At this time, Boyang also ran over. Because he was hiding behind the house, the spears that were shot into the house did not hurt him at all even if they exploded.
"It's okay. I'm still strong."
Kujo Tsumugi said as he got up from the ground.
