After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 187

The sound seemed to be moving closer to their location.

"Something's coming."

Jiang Wan's eyes narrowed, and she lowered her voice, looking around warily.

"Wh-what's wrong?" Mr. Zhang stammered, his words becoming somewhat incoherent.

An Jiuxi casually took the bamboo fan from Jiang Wan's hand, covered it with spiritual energy, and waved it around suddenly.

A strong gust of wind blew by.

The thick fog in front of everyone was dispelled.

But when they opened their eyes and saw what was around them, some of them turned pale and fell to the ground in fright!

All around them, countless blue will-o'-the-wisps floated.

Some of the enormous will-o'-the-wisps even emit laughter that is difficult to distinguish between male and female!

The echoes reverberating through the mountains are especially eerie!

Even the well-traveled Mr. Zhang couldn't help but shudder when he saw such a large number of will-o'-the-wisps.

"How can there be so many... will-o'-the-wisps!"

Xu Ze looked somewhat strained as he helped the person who had fallen to the ground to their feet.

An Jiuxi looked at the quantity in front of her and clicked her tongue in annoyance: "I didn't expect there to be so many."

"Hehe, I want to eat that!"

"No, I saw it first!"

"I think the man next to that girl is the most delicious!"

The will-o'-the-wisp flickered up and down, and the words it spoke sent a chill down one's spine.

An Jiuxi looked at Jin Yize standing beside her with amusement, "You really have become nourishment."

Jin Yize looked somewhat helpless and took off the jade pendant from his neck, holding it in his palm.

"Little girl, I'm not going to help you."

Jiang Wan took the fan back and leisurely floated to Jin Yize's side, looking like she was about to watch a show.

An Jiuxi took out the peach wood sword, looked at the ghosts in front of her, and then plunged the wooden sword into the center of the crowd.

"Don't go out."

She left a sentence behind and stepped out of the protective shield.

"You reckless little brat, you can't beat so many of us!"

The will-o'-the-wisp, as tall as a person, emitted a disdainful sound.

The crowd, who had been frightened just moments before, now seemed reassured by the protective shield and showed a hint of curiosity.

"Then why don't you all come at me together?"

An Jiuxi smiled at them and quickly formed hand seals.

"Interrupt her!"

The will-o'-the-wisps all around surged toward An Jiuxi, threatening to engulf her in just a few seconds!

Many people dared not look, but some bold ones still parted their fingers slightly and peered in An Jiuxi's direction.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!"

The magic array rose from the ground, and purple lightning permeated its area.

Those will-o'-the-wisps were instantly reduced to ashes!

“Since you have eaten quite a few people, I naturally cannot let you live.” An Jiuxi’s cold gaze swept over the remaining will-o’-the-wisps that were trying to escape, and she stretched out her arm and grabbed at the air.

Eliminate them all.

Only some weak, unformed creatures remained, and none of them had committed any evil deeds.

An Jiuxi then performed a ritual to help them pass on to the afterlife.

Many warm yellow orbs of light appeared around her, bounced around happily, and then rushed into An Jiuxi's body!

The immense impact left her momentarily dazed.

Suddenly, her mother's face flashed through her mind. At that time, Shi Yao's face was full of gentleness, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat, just like a woman who had just given birth.

"My little Jiu Xi, Mommy hopes you will have a peaceful and smooth life."

The woman's gentle words brought tears to An Jiuxi's eyes.

Just a second before An Jiuxi regained consciousness, a murderous aura silently tried to enter Jin Yize's body!
