After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

The moment Pei Yun lay down on the altar, it was as if he had entered a dream world, with blood mist spreading around him.

She saw rows of figures standing in front of the church pews, radiating resentment. The faces of these figures were indistinct, but Pei Yun recognized her four companions among them, as their faces were still clearly visible.

But Fu Lingchen and the other three, like these vengeful spirits, lost consciousness. Their eyes glowed red as they stared intently at Pei Yun on the altar. Driven by some unknown force, the vengeful spirits moved toward the altar and soon completely surrounded Pei Yun...

At this moment, Pei Yun was lying on the altar, unable to move. Her hands and feet were bound by chains, and even when she tried to use her spiritual power, she could not break free.

She frowned, and when she looked up, she met a pair of greedy eyes. These vengeful spirits seemed to regard her as a delicious meal, drooling as they prepared to devour her.

Just as these vengeful spirits were about to pounce and devour her, at this critical moment, Pei Yun activated the golden key necklace she wore around her neck, an extra reward from the spirit for her performance at the previous "gate".

The necklace hidden in his clothes seemed to have a mind of its own and emerged, hovering in front of Pei Yun. As Pei Yun continuously poured spiritual energy into it, the key burst forth with golden light, which grew brighter and brighter, shining like holy light in this blood-red world...

Just as Pei Yun had predicted, the golden key enveloped her body in golden light, preventing the vengeful spirits from harming her further, and dissipating all resentment wherever the light touched.

These vengeful spirits were also terrified by the golden light, screaming and desperately retreating, not daring to approach Pei Yun again.

The chains formed from resentment on Pei Yun's body broke in unison under the golden light. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when a blood-red dagger, carrying countless streams of resentment, stabbed towards Pei Yun's body!

Pei Yun slightly curled the corners of his lips and looked up to meet the red eyes of the statue "girl": "I've been waiting for you!"

After saying that, she suddenly raised her hands and grabbed the blade of the dagger tightly. The sharp blade immediately cut open Pei Yun's palm, and blood flowed down the dagger, but Pei Yun did not care at all, because this time she touched the dagger.

She hadn't entered the crimson illusion formed by resentment before, so she couldn't touch the statue "girl." But now, lying on the altar filled with immense resentment, her consciousness entered the crimson illusion, allowing her to touch the dagger...

Pei Yun's guess was correct; her body couldn't take the dagger, but her consciousness could.

"Aaaaah! Damn it! Damn it!" The statue "girl" gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, while Pei Yun gripped the blade tightly. The two held one end of the knife and remained locked in a stalemate.

The statue of the "girl" began to mutter curses, no longer possessing the sanctity she had shown at first glance. Her beautiful, fair face revealed a terrifying ferocity and distortion, as if a goddess had suddenly fallen into the clutches of a vengeful ghost.

Unbeknownst to her, the blood from Pei Yun's palm was absorbed into the dagger, and she could feel her control over the dagger growing stronger.

The statue of the "girl" grew increasingly anxious, her resentment surging towards Pei Yun, but to no avail. The key before Pei Yun remained gleaming, shielding her from the resentment coming from all directions...

After an unknown amount of time, the statue "girl" screamed in agony. The resentment on her body dissipated rapidly, and cracks appeared on the surface of the statue. The cracks multiplied, and resentment continued to emerge from them...

Finally, with a loud "bang," the statue shattered completely. White lime, along with wisps of resentment, drifted throughout the church. The original blood mist gradually dissipated, and the surroundings returned to their original dim and cold state...

"Huff, huff..." Pei Yun gasped for breath, stunned for a few moments before recovering. Looking at the dagger in his hand and then at the badly damaged remains, he finally felt completely at ease.

She thought for a moment, then hid the dagger in her sleeve and got up to walk toward the four people, including Fu Lingchen, who were lying unconscious on the ground not far away.

"Wake up! Minglu, Fu Lingchen..." It took the four of them a while to wake up from their coma. Their eyes were completely black, their spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and their bodies were still weak.

"Pei Yun, what just happened..." Fu Lingchen, supporting his weak legs, carefully sat down on the bench.

Not only him, but the other three also looked at Pei Yun.

“Just now, your consciousness was invaded by resentment, and you were trapped in an illusion formed by resentment…” Pei Yun said, “Do you remember what just happened?”

The four touched their ears and noses, which had stopped bleeding, and shook their heads.

Pei Yun then recounted her experience to the four of them. The four of them looked at the afterimage behind her in unison. At this moment, Pei Yun took out her dagger.

The moment the dagger was drawn, the resentment it carried made Fu Lingchen and the other three dizzy and disoriented. They hurriedly retreated, saying, "No, no..." Pei Yun withdrew the dagger upon seeing this.

"The resentment on this dagger is so deep, how come you..." remained unaffected.

“It might be this.” Pei Yun took off the gold key necklace she was wearing and showed it to them. “This gold key can ward off resentment. I was able to snatch the vengeful spirit’s dagger just now because of this treasure…”

The four of them enviously took the necklace, examined it for a moment, and then returned it to Pei Yun.

Fu Lingchen stared at the destroyed statue and said, "Why are the vengeful spirits here so intense? We almost perished here..."

If it weren't for Pei Yun, and if it weren't for the golden key that the artifact spirit rewarded Pei Yun with, they might have really been eliminated. This "door" was much more dangerous than the previous one; they almost all perished as soon as they entered.

“Let’s go! Let’s meet back at the villa. It’s getting late, and besides, our priority right now is to recover our spiritual energy. We don’t have the energy to explore anything else right now…” Pei Yun said, glancing at the darkening sky outside the church.

When the five returned to the villa, it was nearly six o'clock in the evening. The other four teams were gathered in the main hall, seemingly discussing and deliberating.

Seeing that Pei Yun's team returned so late, and that apart from Pei Yun, the other four looked pale and their steps were unsteady, it was clear that something had happened outside the villa.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, what happened to your team?" The people from the four teams secretly sized up Pei Yun and his group of five while tentatively asking.

Pei Yun had no intention of hiding anything from them. They had agreed beforehand to share the information gathered by each team, so she recounted the situation she encountered outside the villa to everyone present.

All four teams were stunned. They thought their discovery in the villa was surprising enough, but Pei Yun's team's ordeal was even more dramatic! They almost got eliminated!

At this moment, all four teams were secretly relieved that they hadn't chosen to explore outside the villa in the first place, otherwise they wouldn't have been confident of escaping unscathed.

Many people present looked at Pei Yun's team, especially at Pei Yun himself, with even greater seriousness. This man was not only unaffected by the resentment when facing a powerful vengeful spirit, but he also successfully rescued his teammates, demonstrating that his strength was definitely extraordinary.

Qian Zheng couldn't wait any longer and said, "Fellow Daoist Pei, could you please show us that dagger?"

“Of course.” Pei Yun took out a dagger from his sleeve and handed it to him.

As soon as the dagger appeared in everyone's sight, a surge of resentment erupted. Qian Zheng was the first to bear the brunt of this intense resentment. The moment his hand touched the dagger, it felt as if it were being burned by evil fire. His fingers turned black in an instant, and he instinctively cried out in pain, shaking off his hand and quickly getting up and backing away.

Not only him, but everyone present except Pei Yun was unable to withstand the resentment. They were sitting on the sofa just fine, but now they all involuntarily stood up and took a few steps back, looking at Pei Yun and the dagger with fear on their faces.

“Um… Fellow Daoist Pei, you should put the dagger away…” Wu Ziwei said, his voice trembling slightly.
