Chapter 1254: What Has Happened to Me?

"I, what happened to me?" Yanyan looked completely bewildered, having no idea what she had just been doing.

She was different from Li Xiao; Li Xiao had been controlled but still possessed her own consciousness, whereas her own situation just now was a complete possession, the kind where both body and consciousness were entirely manipulated.

"You were controlled. You jumped down from above just now; it's fortunate that Mr. Chen saved you," Li Xiao said.

"Who is Mr. Chen? I only remember we were playing a game last night, playing until very late, and then I went to sleep. After I woke up, I didn't remember anything," Yanyan said, looking bewildered.

"Chen Yu, Mr. Chen. The spirit-summoning game we played summoned those things," a look of fear appeared on Li Xiao's face.

"We... really summoned something unclean?" Yanyan's expression changed drastically, her face turning deathly pale without a hint of color.

"Enough, now is not the time to discuss this; the crisis hasn't been resolved yet." Chen Yu turned his head to look upward, seeing that the surrounding scenery had changed again.

The world before them became erratic, and the darkness in front of them gathered like thick clouds.

"This is her Domain; she wants to trap us in her Domain forever," Li Daniu said with some surprise. "Brother, we must find a way to escape."

"This is a Domain; it probably won't be that easy to truly escape," Chen Yu said.

"Indeed, this is power that only someone at the Lust King level could possess. How did she come to have it?" Li Daniu could not help but say, feeling somewhat anxious.

"Rest assured, although this is similar to a Domain, it is not a true Domain," Chen Yu smiled.

"Not a true Domain? Brother, what do you mean by that?" Li Daniu was slightly stunned, looking at Chen Yu with some confusion.

"This is an illusion formed by Resentment. Because the Resentment is too powerful, it looks the same as a Domain," Chen Yu said. "A true Domain is the creation of a real world; even a Ghost King can only form one in the Underworld."

"But we are in the human world here, and a Ghost King has no way to form a Domain in our world," Chen Yu said. "Therefore, breaking this thing is not a difficult task."

"How do we break it?" Li Daniu looked at the killing intent gathering all around; the unease in his heart was growing heavier.

"Very simple, break it by force." Chen Yu grabbed with his right hand, and Lichen appeared in his palm; then, he raised his sword and slashed heavily toward the void in front of him.

With a *whoosh*, the darkness rolled to both sides, and immediately after, a mass of dense black Qi sank downward, while some clear breath slowly rose.

The darkness before them was completely broken, and the group appeared once again in the Urban Village.

"Broken?" Li Daniu was both surprised and happy; the heart he had been holding in his throat finally settled. He had originally thought he would meet his end here, but he had not expected Chen Yu to easily break the so-called Domain, allowing them to escape with their lives.

"Since she can exert such a powerful influence on us, the Dry Well sealing her remains must be nearby," Chen Yu said. "Let's go, we'll head to the location of the Dry Well first."

"Alright, follow me." Li Daniu nodded.

"You two, are you coming with us, or waiting here? I can give you an Amulet; I guarantee that nothing will dare to get near you," Chen Yu glanced at the two girls.

"Mr. Chen, we'll go with you; we're scared if we stay here." The two looked at each other and still decided to follow Chen Yu. After all, this place was no ordinary place, and what happened just now left them with lingering fears; if they really stayed here, they didn't know what might happen.

Therefore, following Chen Yu was more reliable.

Li Daniu led the group, passing through several dilapidated houses, and then arrived at a wide-open area.

There was a Dry Well in this place, and around the Dry Well were dilapidated or collapsed dwellings.

The entire Jingkou was almost completely sealed; after the group did some cleaning, the Jingkou was finally revealed.

The Jingkou was sealed tightly with cement. Chen Yu took out Lichen and slashed it open with one strike, only to find several Talismans sealed on top.

"This is a Spirit-Suppressing Talisman," Li Daniu recognized these Talismans. "Someone maliciously harmed another and was afraid the evil Spirit would return for revenge, so they set up Spirit-Suppressing Talismans in this place."

"The soul of the victim will be locked here forever, unable to enter Reincarnation for all eternity; as time passes, the Resentment only grows heavier."

"If it were just this, it wouldn't be much, but this place is clearly a Gathering Yin Land," Chen Yu looked at the surroundings. "That is why the resentful Spirit has become increasingly powerful."

"What should we do? This resentful Spirit is very powerful, and looking at her, she clearly won't talk to us properly," Li Daniu said.

"Set up an array to trap her here first and talk to her. If we can talk, we talk; if we can't, we'll send her on her way directly," Chen Yu sighed slightly.

The killing intent of the resentful Spirit here was too heavy; more than one person had already died at her hands. In truth, this was a waste of time, but he still wanted to try.

"Alright." Li Daniu nodded. He set up a Soul-Trapping Array and then looked at Chen Yu. "Brother, it's ready."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, then reached out and peeled the Talismans off the well cover.

The moment the Talismans were peeled off, a mass of black Qi erupted from the Jingkou with a *whoosh*, rapidly attacking Chen Yu.

But the starlight around the array Li Daniu had set up lit up one by one, and before that thing could pounce on Chen Yu, it was forcibly dragged back.

"You bastards, I'm going to kill you all... kill..."

A pale, miserable human figure stretched out her hands desperately, attacking Chen Yu, but because of the Soul-Trapping Array, she could not touch Chen Yu at all.

However, her eyes were rolled back, and her originally beautiful face was in a ferocious and terrifying state; this appearance scared the two girls until their faces turned deathly pale.

"Is this interesting?" Chen Yu's brow locked. "You can't beat me, and you can't kill me; who are you putting on this fierce act for?"

Chen Yu's words made the girl slightly stunned. Although she was unwilling, she struggled for a long time but still couldn't break free, so she calmed down.

Gradually, she returned to her original appearance, the same as seen in the environment before—a very pretty girl with a quiet, serene look, the kind you wouldn't forget after one glance.

It was just a pity that such a pure girl had been taken advantage of because no one protected her. Chen Yu sighed slightly. "So, can we have a proper talk now?"

"What do you want to say?" Although she was forced to return to her human form to talk to Chen Yu, she was still somewhat reluctant; after all, this was forced.

"That's more like it. Such a pretty girl, why insist on dressing up in a terrifying way to scare people? What for?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.
