Chapter 88: Three More Months of Life

The group went their separate ways. The Ling family's bodyguards escorted the Taoists, while the members of the paranormal exploration team went down the mountain. Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan headed back to the undeveloped area of Qishan.

They had not been walking for long, only about ten minutes, when Qin Ruan's feet, clad in casual shoes, stopped in the middle of the muddy and red soil. Standing in the dense jungle, she pointed to a giant tree not far away, one that even five or six adults couldn't embrace, and said to Ling Xiaoxuan, "Sister Xiaoxuan, go stand over there. No matter what you see or hear, don't move or make a sound. Can you do it?"

"Okay," Ling Xiaoxuan answered obediently and went to stand under the tree.

As soon as she stood firm, something strange happened. Qin Ruan's slender hands flew in a blur, forming a beautiful hand gesture, and her clear and sonorous voice grew low and chilling. "The Ten Kings of Hell teach me to kill ghosts and share with me their divine formula. With their help, I will slay and subdue any god or demon that dares to challenge me. The King of Hell commands me to exterminate evil!"

The color of the sky and earth changed. In a split second, the dimly lit sky became dark. The blackness was accompanied by the howls of beasts that echoed endlessly. The number of enraged roars was so great that Ling Xiaoxuan, who was standing under the tree, trembled violently.

Fear surged in her heart, and her body uncontrollably wanted to flee. But she trusted Qin Ruan. She was sure that the other person would not let anything happen to her. This blind trust made her entrust her life to Qin Ruan.

Qishan was home to a plethora of evil spirits and demons, with more than half of them being bloodthirsty and wicked objects. Since Qin Ruan had come to Qishan and been targeted by these creatures, she was not going to let them go.

Although the demonic spirits in the mountains had lower cultivation levels and less demonic energy than those in Lingfeng, they still could prolong one's life.

"Although mosquito meat is small, it is still meat.

Being able to extend one's lifespan by a day, Qin Ruan doesn't find it too little.

The dense Black Sha surges from all directions, frantically pouring into Qin Ruan's body.

With its incredible speed, in just a few seconds, everything is over.

The golden light in Qin Ruan's clear and cold eyes gradually fades, and her delicate eyebrows furrow, her expression solemn.

The blood Sha's evil spirits that have contaminated the surroundings dissipate into the sky and earth, but she doesn't feel happy at all.

She dispels the hand gestures, pulls up her sleeve, and stares at the lifespan red line on her arm.

The new unearthed pendant on Song Banxian's neck exudes a sinister aura.

The mountain demon that the senior sister provoked from Qishan is tainted with blood Sha.

The handkerchief of Lingfeng is tainted with hundreds of years of grudges and Sha Qi from countless evil spirits on Qishan.

Having absorbed so much Sha Qi, Qin Ruan's lifespan has only been extended by three months.

Her current lifespan is one year and two months.

At this moment, Qin Ruan has a feeling that the King of Hell is making her work, and she's been working hard to absorb so much Sha Qi, but it's only extended her lifespan by three months.

No matter how you calculate it, this deal feels like a loss.

Qin Ruan thought that the hundreds of years of grudges from Lingfeng would give her at least a year of lifespan, but she didn't even get half a year.

It's like facing a mountain of gold and silver, on the verge of reaching the peak of life, but finding out that you can't move them at all.

Watching the gold and silver mountains pass you by.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, the feeling of disappointment is similar.

Ling Xiaoxuan stands under the ancient tree, not daring to move.

Qin Ruan stands not far away, her head down and her eyes fixed on the inside of her arm, making it difficult to discern her expression.

Seeing that she hasn't moved for a long time, Ling Xiaoxuan's face changes slightly, and she becomes nervous, "Qin Ruan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. It's all taken care of. Let's go."

Qin Ruan looks up, showing a soothing smile.

Her expression is gentle, without any flaws.

In fact, Qin Ruan is extremely angry inside, but her expression doesn't show it, making it difficult for people to notice any displeasure.
