Chapter 402: The Grand Priestess Unleashes Her Power, Da Siming Stunned!
Among those left outside, Da Siming possessed the strongest strength.
Accordingly, her eyesight was also top-notch.
Having just ventured down for a reconnaissance mission, she was closest to the underground cave.
The moment the white mist surged from behind the bronze door, Da Siming immediately sensed something amiss.
Her alluring and enchanting mature face turned as pale as a sheet.
Within that swirling mass of white mist were countless limbs and gaping mouths, clawing their way out.
“What’s this? This isn’t mist; what sort of ghastly thing is this?”
Da Siming unleashed a Skeleton Blood Seal, managing to scatter just a small portion of it.
But even more white mist kept pouring forth from behind the door.
Gazing at these transparent, human-shaped wandering souls, she felt a shiver crawl down her spine.
What on earth had Li Mo and the others experienced inside? Why were there so many unidentified creatures pouring out?
The sheer numbers akin to a volcano erupting!
The once sweltering desert had swiftly decreased in temperature under the influence of the multitude of wandering souls.
The Qin Soldiers, trained for combat, quickly picked up their weapons in defense.
However, these wandering souls were no ordinary beings; floating in the air, they moved unpredictably.
In just a short time, the soldiers were sent into disarray.
Masses of wandering souls tackled the soldiers to the ground, attacking them like ferocious beasts!
The sound of anguished wails echoed from the temple ruins.
With blood dripping everywhere, severed limbs scattered about.
It was like a mortal hell!
Da Siming, staying beside the Grand Priestess, did her utmost to protect her.
Yet the overwhelming number of souls was beyond Da Siming’s capability!
“We need to get out of here!”
After exerting herself to bring the Grand Priestess to safety, Da Siming dared not advance recklessly.
These souls seemed endless, flooding the cave entrance like a tsunami.
“Are these the ghosts of the Underworld?”
The Grand Priestess, wearing a snow-white robe, was now speckled with yellow sand from her hurried escape, and her hairpin was nowhere to be found.
She looked utterly disheveled.
“Underworld ghosts?”
Of course, Da Siming was familiar with what the Underworld referred to.
Just like the names the elders of the Yin-Yang School went by, they were tied to celestial titles.
The Underworld was a legendary place.
It was the final resting place after death.
But wasn’t this just a legend? Could the Underworld truly exist?
As she looked at the dense cluster of ghosts, Da Siming couldn’t help but begin to question.
“These beings cannot be resisted by human power; we must leave!”
Having finally brought the Grand Priestess out of the ghosts’ encirclement, now they needed to find a place to protect this doll-like Grand Priestess until Li Mo and the others returned.
These ghosts were causing such a commotion outside; they had surely drawn Li Mo’s attention.
However, it seemed the very thing they feared had come to pass.
Upon learning the source of the ghosts, the Grand Priestess did not flee; instead, she charged toward the center of chaos with her staff.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to get killed?”
Seeing this, Da Siming rushed after her in a panic.
But within moments, more wandering spirits surged forth from underground.
A thick mass, blocking out the sun.
The entire temple’s sky was almost transformed into a realm of ghosts!
“You go on ahead; I have a way to deal with these things. I am the Grand Priestess and cannot abandon my people at a time like this!”
The Grand Priestess, as if braving a bone-chilling wind, trudged uncertainly through the sea of wandering souls.
With each step, it seemed she was expending all her strength.
Her dirty robe clung tightly to her, yet it couldn’t halt her forward momentum.
At that moment, Da Siming felt a bit of admiration for her.
This Grand Priestess, although her abilities were average, her unwavering commitment to protecting Loulan was incredible!
But she also wondered what kind of method this frail-looking Grand Priestess had to confront these wandering souls.
After all, even the well-trained Qin Soldiers were powerless against these spirits!
The Grand Priestess’s hairpin had long since been lost.
Her flowing black hair whipped about in the cold wind like a banner.
The piercing cold wind lashed against her, cutting across her delicate face.
With each gust, it was as though blades were slicing through.
Her limbs had gone numb and stiff from the chilling wind.
Her entire being felt as if it were mired deep in a bog, each step costing all her strength.
The biting wind made it impossible for her to keep her eyes open; she could only shut her eyes, bow her head, and strain to move forward with her staff.
Another wave of wandering spirits rushed from the cave entrance, aimlessly searching for targets.
Finally, several souls spotted the Grand Priestess, moving slowly toward her, immediately lunging in with claws outstretched.
At this critical moment, a large red skeleton emerged from behind her, its gaping maw consuming the wandering spirits in an instant.
Only then did the Grand Priestess realize the abnormality around her; opening her eyes, she found Da Siming looking quite helpless.
“What do you want to do?!”
Da Siming had put her life on the line to get to her, holding back a belly full of frustration, and could barely maintain a calm demeanor.
If it weren’t for Fei Yan’s earlier orders, she would have cared less about the Grand Priestess’s life.
“I’m here to save people, of course!”
At this point, they were at the entrance of the cave. The Grand Priestess struggled to stand upright, putting every ounce of her strength into firmly planting her staff into the ground.
“Young lady, cover me while I set up my formation!”
After speaking, she glanced at Da Siming, who was still fuming with anger.
“Hmph! If it doesn’t work, we’ll both die in this mess!”
Da Siming snorted, though she didn’t verbally agree. Her actions of continuously fighting confirmed her agreement.
The Grand Priestess had no time to engage further with her. With Da Siming covering her, she felt an immediate relief from the pressure.
Standing in front of her staff, she closed her eyes again.
Her ten delicate fingers, each like tender bamboo shoots, began forming seals in front of her chest.
Muttering incantations, it sounded like she was chanting some sort of spell.
After a few breaths, the Grand Priestess suddenly opened her eyes wide.
A flash of white light burst through her gaze, and her previously fragile presence transformed in an instant!
Before Da Siming could comprehend what was happening, the staff suddenly glimmered with transparency.
A pure white holy light descended from the sky, landing squarely on the gem atop the staff.
Vroom~
The staff, now radiated pure and flawless, resonated with a slight hum, illuminating the surroundings like a wick!
