Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 50 Searching for the Soul

Huan Yuechu sat up straight, made a few hand seals in the air, and after a moment frowned and said, "Her soul is trapped in an extremely yin place, surrounded by powerful restrictions. It won't be easy to rescue her, and we'll have to pay a price."

Li Tian's eyes were resolute: "I'm willing to pay any price just to see her again."

Seeing Li Tian's resolute expression, Huan Yuechu sighed softly, "Alright then, come with me."

Li Tian followed Huan Yuechu to a desolate place, where a chilling aura permeated the air, sending shivers down one's spine.

Huan Yuechu stopped and said, "The place that's trapping her soul is just ahead. I'll break through the illusion outside first." As she spoke, she began chanting incantations and continuously made hand seals.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and countless dark shadows rushed towards them.

Li Tian clenched his fist, only to find that these dark figures passed through his body and rushed directly towards the magic array that Huan Yuechu was setting up.

Huan Yuechu shouted, "Li Tian, ​​sprinkle your blood all around. Your yang blood can temporarily dispel these yin spirits."

Without hesitation, Li Tian cut his finger and spat out the blood. Wherever the blood fell, the evil spirits scattered.

Li Tian and I then followed the faint aura of the soul and soon entered a misty forest.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the place, with sinister howls heard intermittently.

Li Tian followed closely behind us, his body trembling slightly but his eyes resolute.

Suddenly, a group of dark figures rushed in from all directions, and Qiqing and I quickly took action to defend ourselves. These dark figures appeared to be manifestations of resentment, and their power was not to be underestimated.

Li Tian held onto the bracelet tightly, fearing that damage to it would affect the search for the soul.

After a fierce battle, we finally repelled the shadowy figure. We continued forward, our spiritual energy gradually growing stronger.

Just as a bright light appeared ahead,

Huan Yuechu stopped in her tracks. "This is one of the entrances to that extremely Yin land, but it is fraught with danger, and one can easily get lost here if one is not careful."

Li Tian showed no fear. "Don't worry, senior. I'm already prepared."

Huan Yuechu stepped into the forest first, followed closely by Li Tian. Along the way, strange noises kept coming, and dark shadows occasionally swept past them.

Huan Yuechu raised her hand, gathered spiritual power, and conjured a bright lamp, temporarily dispelling the surrounding gloom.

As they walked, a huge barrier appeared ahead, its surface shimmering with eerie runes.

Huan Yuechu said solemnly, "This is the restriction that traps Meng Xiaoyan's soul. If we break it by force, it will cause quite a commotion and may alert the evil creature guarding this place."

Li Tian gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we must give it a try."

At this moment, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he took out a treasure, the Qilong Cauldron, that emitted a strange light from his backpack.

"This magical artifact is a family heirloom that has never been used. I am entrusting it to you in the hope that it may come in handy in a moment of crisis."

Huan Yuechu took the Qilong Cauldron, nodded, and began to use her spiritual power to break the restriction.

Just as the barrier was about to be broken, a sinister laugh echoed, "You dare to trespass here? You're courting death."

A huge ghostly beast appeared before them, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

Li Tian clenched his fist and stood in front of Huan Yuechu, a fierce battle was about to begin.

Li Tian glared at the ghost beast and shouted, "Even if it costs us our lives, we will not back down today!"

The ghost beast roared and pounced on Li Tian.

Li Tian dodged the attack with a swift movement, while simultaneously throwing a punch at the ghost beast's abdomen.

However, the Ghost Beast's hide was thick and tough, so the attack did not cause much damage.

Huan Yuechu formed hand seals and chanted incantations, sending beams of spiritual light towards the ghost beast.

The ghost beast became even more enraged after being attacked, and a layer of black light emanated from its body, causing its power to suddenly increase.

It swung its claws and sent Li Tian flying several meters away.

Li Tian struggled to his feet, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

In that moment of crisis, I shouted, "Wu Lai, use the Qilong Cauldron to cover me!"

Upon receiving the command, Wu Lai immediately channeled spiritual power into the magical artifact, which instantly grew larger and released a powerful suction force.

The ghost beast was sucked in and could not move, only able to roar and struggle.

Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity and quickly intensified her efforts to break the restrictions.

As the last rune dissipated, the restriction was finally broken, and the ghost beast broke free from the Qilong Cauldron's restraints and fled.

Ignoring everything else, Li Tian rushed into the barrier to search for Meng Xiaoyan's soul.

As soon as Li Tian entered the barrier, he felt a familiar aura.

He looked around and finally spotted a faint glimmer of light in a corner—that was Meng Xiaoyan's soul.

Li Tian approached cautiously, calling her name softly.

Meng Xiaoyan's soul seemed to sense something and trembled slightly.

Just as Li Tian was about to use a special method to take away the soul, the surrounding space suddenly distorted, and a mysterious person slowly appeared.

"Do you think it's so easy to take away a soul?" The mysterious man's voice was icy cold.

Li Tian asked warily, "Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"

The mysterious man sneered: "I am the guardian of this place. This soul is cursed; leaving this place will only bring disaster."

Huan Yuechu rushed in at this moment and said, "We are not afraid of any curses. If you try to stop us, don't blame us for being impolite."

The mysterious man waved his hands, and countless dark chains shot towards them.

Li Tian and Huan Yuechu joined forces to resist, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Suddenly, Li Tian remembered the gene mutation liquid he had successfully developed, and immediately took out a vial of blood and injected it into his arm.

After the blood was injected, Li Tian felt an unprecedented surge of power within his body.

He roared, and a golden light emanated from his body, allowing him to break through the encirclement of the dark chains.

Seeing this, Huan Yue also exerted all her strength to help Li Tian rush towards the mysterious man.

The mysterious man was surprised that Li Tian had suddenly become stronger, and a look of panic appeared on his face, but he quickly calmed down.

He was seen chanting incantations, and a huge magic circle appeared beneath his feet.

The magic array emitted a dark light, enveloping Li Tian and Huan Yuechu.

Instead of retreating, Li Tian advanced, raised his fist, and smashed it towards the magic array with powerful mutated energy.

The two collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave. Just as the magic array was about to collapse, the mysterious man coughed up blood, but forcibly steadied himself and pulled a black crystal from his robes, tossing it into the air.

The black crystals exploded in the air, turning into a thick, dark fog.

A mysterious voice echoed from within the thick fog: "I will spare you today, but the curse on your souls will surely come true." When the fog dissipated, the mysterious figure had vanished.

I quickly turned around, used my spiritual power to collect Meng Xiaoyan's soul into the Seven Emotions Bracelet, and then Li Tian and I hurriedly left the place.

After I brought Meng Xiaoyan's soul back to a safe place, I used my spiritual power to temporarily settle the soul.

Once everything stabilized, Meng Xiaoyan's soul gradually solidified and she regained some consciousness.

Li Tian looked at her, his eyes filled with heartache, and said softly, "Xiaoyan, what exactly happened? Who hurt you?"
