"My young disciple is ignorant, please forgive me..." Seeing Pei Yun's unhappy expression, the old man quickly pulled the young man over, bowed and apologized on behalf of his disciple.

Pei Yun glanced at the two of them and said nothing. There was no movement in the house at this time. She understood that the girl had avenged her, so she walked in without saying anything. Seeing this, the other three followed her.

As expected, as soon as I entered the backyard, I smelled a strong smell of blood. The bluestone slabs were already stained with large patches of blood. The evil couple had their eyes wide open, their faces full of fear at the moment before they died, and their bodies lay across the open ground...

Murong Lei was so scared that he quickly hid behind Pei Yun, not daring to look at him again.

Pei Yun looked at the female ghost floating in the air. Not only was there black smoke surrounding her, but there was also a layer of blood light covering her ghost body.

The female ghost knelt down, her eyes blank, staring blankly at the old couple she had killed, silently, tears of blood flowing silently from her eyes...

The people present didn't think this scene was horrible. They didn't feel the ghost girl's joy after getting her revenge. Instead, they felt an indescribable sadness from her...

After a long while, the female ghost came back to her senses, stood up and bowed solemnly to Pei Yun, and said with a relieved look: "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Pei Yun observed that the black smoke on her body was dissipating little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye. The black smoke represented resentment, and when the resentment dissipated, she could be reincarnated. But now there was blood on her body, and the blood represented sins. If a ghost with sins did not have the support of resentment, it would soon turn to ashes. In other words, the soul of the female ghost in front of him was about to be annihilated...

"...Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Pei Yun asked, pursing his lips.

Hearing this, the female ghost chuckled, staring blankly at the sky in the distance and said, "...I have had a very hard life. My parents disliked me since I was born. They disliked me for not being a boy and unable to carry on the family line. After my younger brother was born, I had to do almost all the housework. I was so tired every day, with endless work to do. Sometimes I was so hungry that I tried to steal my younger brother's food and was severely beaten...I finally made it to the age to get married, but because my younger brother's dowry was not enough, they sold me to the Huang couple. Who would have thought that I would step into a bottomless pit...So you have been urging me to reincarnate, but...what's the good of reincarnation? Do I have to go through this kind of suffering again?"

The female ghost turned to the four people, and finally stared at Pei Yun, smiling faintly: "...I have never met a person who is truly kind to me in my life. I didn't expect to meet the master at this last moment. You don't even know me, but you are willing to help me... This makes me have a little more nostalgia for this world that I hate and despise. It turns out that there are still good people like the master in the world. What a pity..."

The black smoke on the ghost girl almost disappeared, her figure became fainter and fainter, her soul could no longer hold on, and was dissipating bit by bit...

Pei Yun listened to the ghost girl's experience and somehow he suddenly recalled the scene of her death in her previous life.

If she didn't have the Space Spirit Palace, she might have suffered a similar fate as this woman. But even in her previous life, she had righteous people like Lu Yu by her side, and her cultivation gave her the opportunity to choose, but this woman had no chance to choose at all, and no one to help or encourage her.

It was as if her fate had been predicted from birth, and all the tragic things that would happen to her afterwards, and Pei Yun himself still had a chance to be reborn, but the woman in front of him didn't even have the chance to be reborn...

Pei Yun sighed deeply, finally unable to bear it. She took out the soul wood she had exchanged from the sect, and while inputting spiritual power, she controlled the soul wood to merge into the soul of the female ghost that was about to dissipate...

After the soul tree merged into the ghost girl's soul, it instantly emitted a ray of colorful light, which brought together the ghost girl's soul that had not yet dissipated.

The other three people and the female ghost were all stunned. They didn't understand what Pei Yun intended to do before, but when the soul wood showed obvious effects, they all understood that Pei Yun had used some treasure to preserve part of the female ghost's soul.

"You were just seeking revenge for yourself. There was nothing wrong with it. It shouldn't have ended like this. This soul wood has preserved part of your soul. Go and reincarnate with peace of mind. As long as you keep good thoughts in your heart, you will have a different life in your next life..." Pei Yun smiled and nodded to the female ghost, encouraging her.

"...Thank you, Master!" The ghost girl burst into tears again, bowed, and her face was full of gratitude. "May I know your name, Master?"

"Pei Yun."

The ghost girl looked at Pei Yun deeply. At this moment, the ghost girl's face was no longer the ferocious expression before death, but restored to its original appearance. The girl's plain face had a bit of pure shyness. Finally, her soul flew to the depths of the night sky where the stars were shining, and went to where it should go...

After an unknown amount of time, the sun rose and dawn arrived. Everyone looked at the sunrise and sighed in their hearts...

"...Senior, the matter has been settled. My master and I will not disturb you any more. We will take our leave now." The old man was also ready to say goodbye.

"My name is Pei Yun. May I know your name, old man?" Pei Yun felt that the old man in front of her had a good character, and she just wanted to inquire about him.

"I'm Yuan Ze, and this is my disciple Yuan Hui. We are casual practitioners who just came here to practice and happened to run into this female ghost..."

"Mr. Yuan, I came from Beiqizhou and was traveling to Nanyuezhou. I happened to see this young man being abducted here. I wanted to help him find the way home..." Pei Yun said, pointing to Murong Lei beside him.

The two did not expect that Pei Yun was actually a cultivator from Beiqizhou, but it was not surprising when they thought about it, as this place was not far from the seaside pier.

Murong Lei saluted the two of them and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Yuan knows which direction Taoxi Village is and how to get there?" He was a ten-year-old child and had rarely been out of the village. Nanyue Continent was so big that he didn't know how to go back.

"...Taoxi Village? I have never heard of this place. Which country is it from?"

Murong Lei shook his head. It seemed that their place did not belong to any country, but...

He suddenly said excitedly: "I was kidnapped by those evil people in Shengdan City. I and a few friends thought that Shengdan City was lively, so we ran away secretly to take a look at the city... As long as we get to Shengdan City, I can find my way home by myself..."

"Shengdan City!" Yuan Hui exclaimed, his expression showing a bit of envy, "That's the third largest city in Nanyue Continent. Most of the alchemists in Nanyue Continent gather there. I heard it's very lively and prosperous. I really want to go and see it..."

"Senior, Shengdan City is in the north of Nanyuezhou. It will take about two months to travel from here to Shengdan City without stopping. I will draw a map for your reference later..."

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan." Pei Yun bowed and thanked him. "I don't know where Mr. Yuan is going now. Can you come with me?"

"My disciple and I plan to go to the nearby Qingcheng first. It would be great if you could go with us." Yuan Ze was delighted, and Yuan Hui beside him also grinned.

Pei Yun was a little puzzled as to why the master and disciple were so happy. After a day's journey and arriving at Guitou Mountain, she finally understood after listening to the old man's explanation.

Late at night, it was raining heavily outside. Pei Yun and his four companions found a dilapidated temple in Guitou Mountain. Everyone was sitting in the dilapidated temple with a fire in front of them, on which was roasted monster meat.

Pei Yun was a foundation-building cultivator, so of course he could go without food and drink, but the other three, the old man had reached the perfect stage of Qi Refining, not to mention the other two who were at the initial stage of Qi Refining, so they naturally needed to eat. However, they refused the fasting pills given to them by Pei Yun and hunted a low-level monster on their own.

"Senior, there are many monsters in Guitou Mountain. I heard that there are Jindan-stage monsters in the deep mountains. Recently, there are more bandits in Guitou Mountain who specialize in robbing and killing passing monks. Because it is close to the seaside pier, many low-level monks must enter Guitou Mountain to enter the city of Nanyuezhou..."

"...Then why not just fly over this mountain?"

"The monsters in Guitou Mountain are not limited to those that walk on the ground. There are even more flying monsters. Those low-level cultivators must choose a path to follow..." Yuan Ze shook his head and pointed upwards. As he was speaking, a few more people suddenly broke in...
