He couldn't fight, but in terms of dodging, he might not lose to this woman. When the woman rushed over, Bai Mu had already lured her to a place far away from the children.

Bai Mu wasn't worried because he knew that the old fellows wouldn't harm those children.

Seeing that Bai Mu was like a slippery fish about to catch its prey, and that he had to slip away from her every time, the woman was obviously infuriated. She stopped her movements and stood on the spot, roaring.

Raising his head, he saw the woman's face continuously emitting black smoke. An endless sense of hostility filled the surrounding people.

"Soul, no, she's actually a spirit!" Mo Xin saw that the woman's head was filled with a vicious aura. Her two eyes bulged out and her spirit body was even thinner because of the aura emitted by the spirit.

However, how could the strength of this spirit be so weak? If a peak stage spirit exuded pressure, then a soul body like his, which was only 200 years old, would have probably been destroyed.

But now, he was only injured in soul form. What was going on?

However, after looking at Bai Mu's condition, the anxiousness in Mo Xin's eyes became even more apparent. He wanted to save Bai Mu, but he realized that he didn't even have the strength to stand up. Looking at his almost transparent soul body, Mo Xin could only helplessly smile bitterly.

Xiaoqian, I'm afraid Mo Xin won't be able to save you with Tianshui.

He saw the woman slowly turning towards Bai Mu, "You nosy human, now I will make you pay the price for entering this village and destroying my plans."

Bai Mu glanced at the children over there and noticed that they had all fainted long ago. "What did you do to those children?"

"Worry about yourself!" The woman giggled as she extended her arms. Bai Mu felt as though he had fallen into a swamp as the surrounding air became increasingly viscous and thick, as a suffocating feeling permeated the air.

His heart seemed to have been stimulated as it beat fiercely.

"Hiss!"

The woman pursed her lips and clenched her fingers tightly in the air. As she pulled back her hand, Bai Mu felt his entire body move in that direction. However, what moved was not his body, but the bottom of his chest.

Feeling the pain in his ribs, Bai Mu lowered his head with much difficulty. A bulge appeared on his chest, as though his ribs were being pulled outwards.

"Now, I will let you slowly experience the feeling of bones being pulled out one by one!" As soon as the woman finished speaking, something flew out from her chest along with the blood. A strong fishy sweetness filled her throat.

"Pfft!" Bai Mu spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt a little dizzy as the pain from his ribs being pulled out was transmitted to his cranial nerves.

"Brother Bai Mu!" Mo Xin looked at Bai Mu. He wanted to do something, but there was nothing he could do.

Bai Mu shook his head in Mo Xin's direction. From Mo Xin's appearance, if he were to do something, his soul would immediately shatter.

Raising Bai Mu's bloody rib in front of his head, the head hidden in the black smoke took a deep breath. Bai Mu could clearly feel the woman pause slightly before a satisfied chuckle came from the black fog.

"I didn't expect your bones to be so useful. Just smelling this scent makes me feel refreshed." "I believe that if I get your blood and bones out, I should be able to recover my strength and appearance."

As the woman finished speaking, she held Bai Mu's ribs in one hand and lifted Bai Mu with the other. An intense pain came from Bai Mu's entire body, much more intense than before.

Waves of dizziness struck Bai Mu's brain, and he was unable to bear it any longer. He immediately fainted. In his final state of consciousness, he could only hear Mo Xin screaming at him, as well as that woman's shrill cries.

"You, get what you want!"

The girl quickly withdrew her hand as if she had touched something terrifying. Before she could think about where that unfamiliar low voice had come from, the girl felt a flash of purple light in front of her as her body uncontrollably slammed into the ground.

"Who the hell are you?" The black fog surrounding the qipao woman's head had already disappeared, returning to its previous state. The Qipao woman couldn't help but tremble as she looked at the man standing with his back facing her.

The aura of this person before him was so familiar. It was as if he had appeared a long time ago.

"Hehe, so many years have passed. It looks like your memory has declined. Yin-" The voice caused the woman's body to tremble.

"How do you know?"

However, the man didn't seem to hear what Yin'er said. He continued, "I'll give him to you for his Innate Ability. However, if you dare to hurt his body again, it won't be as good as today."

"What do you mean?" Yin'er only knew that this voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it, nor did she know who this person was.

"The price is, if I find Xia Ziyi from the demon realm and hand this over to her, she will naturally understand." After the man finished speaking, a strange carved ancient ring that was like a vine appeared out of nowhere in Yin'er's hand.

"Ring?" A familiar memory fragment flashed through Yin'er's mind, but just as she was about to grasp it, the memory vanished.

"What right do you have to believe that I will give this ring to that Xia Ziyi?"

"Not believe, but you have to." Just as the man finished speaking, a purple ball of light flew into the space between Yin'er's eyebrows.

"Alright, let's go." Yin'er didn't expect this man to let her off so easily. She glanced at Bai Mu on the ground, gritted her teeth, and took Bai Mu's rib and disappeared.

The man lowered his head and glanced at the unconscious Bai Mu. He gently raised his palm and a blue light gently enveloped Bai Mu's body. Bai Mu's body gently floated in the air. Not even a minute later, the blue light disappeared and Bai Mu fell back to the ground.

Bai Mu, who was still as pale as a sheet a moment ago, had already recovered from the shock.

"He's so weak, how can he even protect his body?"

After a sigh, the man in blue turned into a blue dot of light and entered Bai Mu's body.

After which, Bai Mu opened his eyes.

"What just happened?" Bai Mu sat up, and the scene from a moment ago surfaced in his mind. His hand touched his chest, and he lowered his head, only to discover that it was completely untouched.

"Where is that woman? What about Mo Xin? " Bai Mu raised his head and surveyed his surroundings. He saw that Mo Xin's eyes were tightly shut, and his body had almost turned transparent.

"Mo Xin!" Bai Mu called out to Mo Xin, but there was no response. Suddenly, he recalled the three pieces of golden silk sandalwood that he had on him. He hurriedly took out one of them and lit it.

The fragrance of sandalwood directly entered Bai Mu's nose and gave him a feeling of clarity. As he looked at Mo Xin's slightly corporeal soul, Bai Mu's heart gradually relaxed.

"Bai Mu, quickly extinguish that fragrance." Mo Xin had only just recovered a little, and didn't even think twice before speaking to Bai Mu.

"But Mo Xin, you!" Although Mo Xin's condition was slightly better than before, his body was still transparent.

"Don't worry, I won't dissipate right now. If you continue to burn the incense, the ones on the wall will be finished."

Bai Mu had no choice but to retrieve the incense.

"Mo Xin, what happened just now?" "What about that woman?"

"I don't know. When you fainted just now, I fainted right after." Mo Xin shook his head, his body swayed, barely able to stand up.

"I'll go see the kids first." As he spoke, he walked towards the children on the ground. As he passed by the controlled elders, Bai Mu halted his steps. The elderly men had fallen to the ground, probably because the woman had disappeared.

"These people are actually still alive?" Bai Mu probed the breath of one of them and found that he was still breathing.

Mo Xin also floated over. After sensing everything carefully, he nodded and said, "What happened just now? Why are these people still alive? "

"It's good that you're alive!" Bai Mu replied and went to take a look at the eight to nine children.

"Goudan'er, wake up!" Bai Mu patted Guodan'er's face. Not long after, the child woke up as well.

Bai Mu woke the children up one by one, and the elders began to wake up. After the elderly and children woke up, they began to hug their family members in pain. Unfortunately, the parents of those children could no longer live.

"Bai Mu, it's morning." Mo Xin reminded.

Bai Mu nodded his head, knowing that it was time to leave.

Bai Mu looked at the elders who had lost their children, not knowing if it was a blessing or a curse that they had saved their lives. Looking at the mournful faces of the elders, Bai Mu shouted at them, "Auntie, these things you did were not done on your own will. You should report this to the police."

After giving a few more instructions, Bai Mu and Mo Xin rushed back to the Bian foot mountain.

During the journey, Bai Mu found out what the woman was really like. Mo Xin said that woman was a spirit and was even the legendary Earth Binding Spirit that was made into a tomb to protect. She could be considered the highest level existence among ghosts, but why would the Earth Binding Spirit come out from the mausoleum to create a disaster?

However, from Mo Xin's words, Bai Mu found out that their ghosts were also divided into different levels. From low to high, they were successively divided into the soul, ghost, and spirit.
