"Sister, it looks like there was a fierce battle here just now..."
Ao Ningshuang and Ao Qingmei returned to Jinshan Temple. They descended from the clouds and looked around. They saw a mess, broken rocks, blood everywhere, but no body on the ground. Smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, Ao Qingmei frowned slightly, and suddenly raised her eyebrows and glimpsed a few prayer beads scattered in the grass. She raised her hand lightly and the prayer beads scattered in the grass flew into her palm.
"It's Fahai's personal belongings..." Ao Qingmei recognized the rosary in her hand as belonging to Fahai. Seeing the blood stains on the rosary, her expression became serious. She turned her head to look at Ao Ningshuang beside her, and stretched out her hand to hand the rosary to her: "Big sister, look."
Ao Ningshuang stared at the rosary in Ao Qingmei's palm, pondered for a moment, and slowly turned her sight to Jinshan Temple. She said in a deep voice: "Second sister, let's go in first, maybe... we can find something." Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed in from the high wall. As soon as she entered Jinshan Temple, a gust of cold wind blew in her face. At the same time, Ao Ningshuang noticed that there was a strong resentment shrouding the entire temple. She quietly clasped her left hand, and while being careful and alert, she warned Ao Qingmei who followed behind her. "Separate and look around... Be careful."
"I understand, big sister." Ao Qingmei responded lightly and headed towards the backyard.
There is a row of houses with eaves in the backyard of Jinshan Temple, which seems to be used for the residence of all the disciples of Jinshan Temple. Ao Qingmei took a glance and saw that all the doors of the houses were closed and there was deathly silence. She walked slowly forward to one of the houses, raised her sleeves and flicked them, and heard a "creak" and the door opened. Ao Qingmei stepped into the house. Through the dim light in the house, she saw that in addition to a few simple tables and chairs, the most conspicuous thing was a huge bed, with a total of four beds, all neatly stacked and placed on one side of the bed. After checking around, Ao Qingmei did not find anything unusual in the room, so she prepared to leave the room. However, before she turned around, the air behind her suddenly fluctuated violently. Ao Qingmei felt that something unclean was rushing towards her - the Second Princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, who had great magical powers, reacted extremely quickly. A red shadow flashed, and she instantly moved to the door. She saw a wisp of black air whistling past the place where she had just stood.
Resentful spirits! Ao Qingmei frowned, because she saw clearly that it was resentful spirits that attacked her. The so-called resentful spirits are formed by the resentment of mortals who died unjustly. Unlike ordinary souls, resentful spirits are extremely aggressive and dangerous. At this moment, the resentful spirits in the house are not only full of resentment, but also full of hostility. When the resentful spirit roared and rushed over again, Ao Qingmei raised her hand and a white light flashed from her fingertips, instantly turning the resentful spirit that rushed over into nothingness. Ao Qingmei rushed out of the room and came outside. Her expression changed slightly - countless resentful spirits had gathered above the houses outside the house without knowing when, and the air was filled with endless murderous intent.
Just as Ao Qingmei rushed out of the room, all the vengeful spirits suddenly swooped down from the sky with a roar—
"You don't know what you can do!" Ao Qingmei sneered, with a look of arrogance between her brows. She lifted her feet and flew up, waving her hands in the air casually. The white light between her fingers moved like a sharp sword, instantly killing all the vengeful spirits that pounced on her.
The vengeful spirits who had managed to survive retreated in fear, but soon became even more ferocious, and regardless of their own lives, they counterattacked towards Ao Qingmei and drowned him.
"Second sister—" A white figure quickly came over. It was Ao Ningshuang. Seeing her second sister Ao Qingmei trapped, Ao Ningshuang was shocked and was about to help. However, just as she raised her hand, she heard a "boom" sound, and white light shot out from the black air in the sky. The roaring and grumbling spirits screamed in pain and despair. The next moment, the white light became brighter, and all the grudge spirits disappeared instantly like ice and snow meeting fire.
The surroundings returned to calm, and there was no more murderous intent in the air.
"Second sister." Ao Ningshuang flew towards Ao Qingmei where the white light was gathered and asked, "How are you? Are you injured?" "No." Ao Qingmei brushed her sleeves, tidied her messy hair, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, smiled at her elder sister, and said calmly, "A mere vengeful spirit can't do anything to my Second Princess Long."
"That's good." Ao Ningshuang let out a breath and felt relieved. "Ahem..." It seemed that she had just experienced a fierce battle. The already pale Princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace looked quite bad at this moment.
"Big sister—" Ao Qingmei hurriedly touched Ao Ningshuang's back, patted her back gently, and asked with a frown: "Big sister, were you also attacked by the vengeful spirit just now?"
"Ahem... hm." Ao Ningshuang gently stroked her chest, and after a while she managed to calm down. She nodded and sighed, "These vengeful spirits seem to be controlled by some evil power to deal with us."
Ao Qingmei felt the same way and agreed, "I think so too. Otherwise, even if they are vengeful spirits, there is no reason why we would not provoke them, but they would attack us without fear of death. Moreover, the attack power of these vengeful spirits is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary vengeful spirits. If there is no demon behind the scenes, this would never happen!"
Ao Qingmei pondered and said, "It seems that the demon that just appeared in the world is intentionally targeting us people from the East China Sea..."
"Intentionally targeting people from the East China Sea?" Ao Qingmei's mind moved, and she blurted out: "Big sister, do you think that the demon that just appeared in the world is Fahai?" The first person she thought of was Fahai, who had just been defeated and injured by her. As a monk, Fahai did not seek Buddhahood, but was obsessed with personal grudges, too murderous, and too angry. It turned out that he was not far from being possessed by the devil. Once he was possessed by the devil, he would definitely take revenge on the people in the Dragon Palace, control the resentful spirits, and attack her and her big sister.
Ao Ningshuang did not think the same as Ao Qingmei. She shook her head slowly and said in a deep voice, "With Fahai's cultivation, even if he strayed into the devil's way, his ability is still not enough to control the vengeful spirits. Moreover, Jinshan Temple was able to gather so many vengeful spirits in such a short time. If I am right, these vengeful spirits should be the wronged souls of the cruelly murdered disciples of Jinshan Temple. Even though Fahai is ruthless, he would not kill his own disciples."
Ao Qingmei found what Ao Ningshuang said very reasonable. For a moment, she really couldn't guess the origin of the demon. Just when she was feeling a headache, she heard Ao Ningshuang say, "Second sister, let's go back to Bao'an Hall first and talk about this later."
"Yes, sister." Ao Qingmei had no objection to her elder sister's decision.
The two of them immediately left Jinshan Temple and rushed back to Bao'an Hall.
