Along with the Green Emperor's voice came a powerful aura of destruction. He supported the unconscious Yun Qi with one hand, and with the other hand, he gathered his spiritual energy and grabbed the void. The Yin Qi that was scattered around seemed to be trapped at this moment, and his hand reached through the Yin Qi and pinched a shadow of nothingness.
The shadow had a blurry image, and a pair of eyes emitting ghostly green fire were now wide open in horror. It struggled to escape, and even raised its own Yin energy to the point that the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees were covered with a layer of ice, but it still could not escape from the Green Emperor's hands.
"Who are you..."
Even with its thousand years of cultivation, it was unable to escape from this man. The terrifying strength of this man was something it had never encountered in the thousands of years it had been here. At this moment, it felt an inexplicable fear, and a breath of destruction enveloped it, as if its thousand-year-old soul would be strangled by this person in the next moment.
“Mercy… Please spare my life…” It begged for mercy instinctively, not knowing that targeting this little girl with an innate spiritual body would attract such a terrifying existence.
"It's too late."
The indifferent and cold voice was filled with murderous intent. He stared at the thousand-year-old ghost in his hand. His hand, which contained a strong airflow, slowly tightened, as if a ball of fire was burning in the palm of his hand, burning the thousand-year-old ghost to death.
"Ah... no..."
A shrill scream filled with unwillingness and resentment rang out in the night, the sound gradually became weaker from shrill and sharp, until the ghost was burned up in his hands, leaving only two dark green beads.
He looked at the two beads in his hand, raised his hand and flicked them, and the negative energy in the space dissipated. He looked down at the unconscious Yun Qi and frowned.
"Master... Master..."
Maybe it was because the evil spirit had dissipated, but she gradually regained consciousness. However, she still didn't open her eyes, but kept calling out for her master and holding his hands tightly.
"Master..."
Yue'er slept very uneasily. She felt like she was trapped in endless darkness. It was so cold in that darkness that she was unable to move her whole body. Especially in that darkness, it seemed as if a pair of ghost hands were pulling her feet, trying to pull her inside.
But at this moment, she seemed to see her master's hand reaching out to her, pulling her out of the darkness, dispelling the coldness in her body, and allowing her to gradually feel a hint of warmth.
Since she was a child, whenever she was in danger, it was her master who came out to save her. As long as her master was there, she felt safe.
Qingdi sat beside her, letting her fall asleep leaning on his legs, with one hand lightly resting on her back and patting her gently, just like he did when she had nightmares as a child, accompanying her.
The flame that had been extinguished had been rekindled by him. With the warmth of the flame, her originally cold body gradually warmed up, and her slightly twisted brows gradually relaxed.
As the sky gradually brightened, the Green Emperor looked in a certain direction in the forest, his eyes moved slightly, and the next moment, he helped Yun Qi lean against the tree. His figure gradually disappeared, turning into a stream of light that fell on the heart of the thousand-year-old spiritual wood between Yun Qi's hair.
