Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 453: Second Highest

 "Miss Gao sure works hard," said Fa LiWei, the YinYing who had the habit of checking a small orb for everything. "She is interesting, but still needs to die." 

"I said no." Fa Yuan insisted. He was now just a wandering spirit after the explosion since their sacrifices escaped the prism, but that did not change the fact that he was still the key for the unsealing to work. Losing his physical form gave him an advantage as well. 

One was that Fa LiWei could not threaten him with his life or kick him back to the space that most YinYing's stayed at anymore. With that, he had all the time in the world to annoy the other. 

Fa Yuan knew that they were at the most critical moment of the unsealing. Everything that was still within the Shizi Empire could be used for it. They needed to get a hold of one of the orbs to move finally move forward. 

"Explain. Logically." Fa LiWei demanded. 

"The dark energy around her was vital. As long as her spirit was within the spell boundary, all would work as planned." Fa Yuan assured. 

The dark energy around Gao Lan Mei was only the second highest that Fa Yuan had ever seen in his entire existence. 

He did not have any time to know why a Keeper who was supposed to have only light energy carried darkness that even surpassed that of a wraith YinYing. 

He only understood that Gao Lan Mei needed to keep living within their territory so they could free the being that needed to be freed. 

"You concentrate on destroying the purification barrier that she made as well as commanding your soldiers. That should be easy enough for you, right?" Fa Yuan asked sarcastically. 

"It is doable." Fa LiWei responded calmly, like the sarcasm from Fa Yuan is nothing.

Giving up taunting such an emotionless being, Fa Yuan compromised, "It is up to you if you want to capture her. Just make sure that you keep alive." 

Spirits were designed to go to the Underworld Domain immediately after they died.  Spell boundaries could not stop that. That was the natural order of things. 

YinYings did not reincarnate. Thus some had to master the forbidden art of soul manipulation. A spirit transferring from one living vessel to another. Just like Fa Yuan. 

Then what would Fa Yuan do if he learned that Gao Lan Mei could also freely manipulate her spirit? 

"Capturing her sounds good. We can use her again on the next seal." Fa LiWei noted while looking at the orb in his hand. 

He did not feel any hostility towards Gao Lan Mei despite her continuously delaying their plans. But, that did not mean he would not make her suffer when he got a hold of her. 

If Gao Lan Mei was essential for their plans, Fa LiWei did not mind bringing her along. His only goal was to make sure that his master's will was done. 

Fa LiWei concentrated on the female figure inside the orb that he was holding. At the same time, his other hand released impure energy towards it...

… 

Yen Mingjue immediately noticed that the number of YinYings around them had multiplied. "The others are already lost? Why do I sense almost all the YinYings on our way?" 

Ma Fei Hong also noticed the same. "Lets us hurry to the nearest protection barrier." She said as they could not keep on protecting their back against the enemy. 

She hoped that the others are still alive and that the YinYings were just chasing them coincidently. If hoping for these types of things were something to be grateful for, then what about the possibility that the others had already passed the gates and that they were left alone? 

'A sick sense of heroism.' Ma Fei Hong thought bitterly as she could not blame them. As a deacon, she was mainly responsible for everyone's safety in case any incident related to impurities happened. Justice Affairs were supposed to be the one left to fight with the Impure enemies. 

Even the royal family could not deal with this type of thing. That was the exact reason why they were part of the first beings who needed to leave. They could not do anything about the enemies, after all. 

Now, she was the only Justice Affairs officer left in the Shizi Empire who was still willing to fight the enemy. All Ma Fei Hong could do was buy time for those who were willing to aid her. 

If she were lucky, who knew if the reinforcement might have arrived soon. So for now, all Ma Fei Hong could do was continue shooting her arrows.
