The nearby Immortal Essence Guards were in an even worse state, and even Liu Sanbao showed a pained expression.
"Roar!" Hu Po, who was lying on Lu Ye's shoulder, roared like a tiger.
At this critical moment, Hu Po had to step in.
That roar suppressed the female spirit's cries and even scared her silly. Only now did she notice that Hu Po was different from the others. She looked at him with her beautiful eyes and a look of fear appeared on her face.
Hu Po rushed out and opened his mouth to suck in the female spirit.
The female spirit saw that the situation was bad and raised her hand to play her pipa, knocking Hu Po away and causing him to tumble a few times.
Yi Yi rushed out and used a Technique on the female spirit. Lu Ye also stepped forward and chopped down with his saber.
The female spirit blocked the Technique, but she couldn't block Lu Ye's saber. A flash of light appeared on her body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the surrounding Nightmare Spirits acted together and used Spirit Binding Chains to bind the female spirit. Liu Sanbao even threw his three dice.
The female spirit's slender fingers hooked onto a few strings of the pipa and pulled them fiercely. Most of the Spirit Binding Chains flying towards her froze in mid-air, while the rest shattered.
"Wu wu wu …" Her cries rang out again.
"Roar!" Hu Po roared at her again, this time louder than last time. A visible wave of air rushed towards the female spirit, causing her to show a pained expression and her cries to stop.
Lu Ye took advantage of the situation and chopped down with his saber.
"Wu wu …"
"Roar!"
Lu Ye chopped down again.
"Wu …"
Another chop …
The female spirit really cried. She hugged her pipa and shrunk her neck, looking at Lu Ye pitifully as bean-sized tears flowed down her cheeks.
This guest wasn't easy to receive. He didn't recite poems, didn't fight back, and even roared at her and chopped at her …
A moment later, Hu Po swallowed the female spirit and turned her into a Nightmare Spirit.
Lu Ye was in a good mood with another fierce general under his command.
He had Hu Po release the female spirit. As expected, the female spirit's strength had been greatly suppressed. Like Liu Sanbao, she was only at the Ninth Order.
Her eyes no longer had their original captivating light. At this moment, she stood there in a daze, holding the pipa in her arms. It was obvious that she was a little dull and stiff, and one could vaguely see her original weakness.
This was the drawback of being turned into a nightmare spirit. It could be said that as long as one was turned into a nightmare spirit by amber, regardless of whether they had sentience before, they would no longer have it.
Lu Ye looked at the pipa in her arms. This thing was similar to Liu Sanbao's dice cup. Lu Ye originally thought that it was a spiritual weapon, but later found that it wasn't. Whether it was Liu Sanbao's dice cup or the pipa in front of her, they were more like the manifestation of their original power. They were like themselves, neither illusory nor real.
Apart from Yiyi, there were still 31 Nightmare Spirits. Among them, there were two special Nightmare Spirits, 15 squad leaders, and 14 Nightmare Spirits transformed from ordinary Immortal Essence Guards.
This kind of power was much stronger than before. If Chuqing had brought people to ambush him, he would not have been able to escape with such a group of Nightmare Spirits.
I forgot to ask the name of the female Nightmare Spirit. Forget it, I'll just call her Lute Woman, Lu Ye thought.
He continued to explore.
Two hours later, Lu Ye stood in front of a courtyard with high walls. He looked at the lantern hanging at the door and pushed the door open.
To have such a courtyard in such a big city, it could be seen that the original owner had a high status in Immortal Essence City. After entering, he could faintly see traces of small bridges and flowing water.
Lu Ye's gaze was immediately attracted by a red color somewhere in the courtyard. On a swing over there, a graceful figure had her back facing him.
Lu Ye was immediately elated. He felt that his luck was off the charts. Previously, he couldn't find special Soul Bodies like Liu Sanbao and the Lute Woman. In just a short while, he actually encountered two. It seemed that the special Soul Bodies in Immortal Essence City weren't as rare as he thought. The reason he didn't encounter them before was either because he was unlucky or because they were killed by the cultivators who came in.
The swing swayed gently. The red dress of the woman sitting on the swing dragged on the ground.
Lu Ye was about to ask amber to release the Nightmare Spirits to communicate with the other party when his body suddenly stiffened.
He rubbed his eyes and carefully sized up the woman in the red dress. After confirming that he didn't see wrongly, he quickly raised his hand and pinched amber's mouth.
Hu Po seemed to want to yawn …
Then he moved back a little bit, trying not to make any noise.
* Boom … *
The door behind him suddenly closed with a sound. Lu Yehe slammed his body into the door, but the result was a solid hit. The decaying door looked like it would shatter with a single touch, but it stopped him.
Lu Ye's spirit force surged and fiery red spirit force flowed out from his back. He flapped his wings and was about to soar into the sky. He was about to jump over the wall, but his body seemed to be fixed in place. He couldn't move at all. An invisible force had imprisoned him. Even his spirit force had stagnated and the wings on his back had disappeared.
Cold sweat flowed down his forehead. Lu Ye stared at the woman in the red dress and felt a great crisis enveloping him.
He suddenly understood the feelings of the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators who were killed by him. The ups and downs of life were just too exciting.
When he saw the spirit force around the woman in the red dress, Lu Ye felt that something was wrong because he couldn't see the spirit force around her body.
He had only encountered this situation with three people.
One was Senior Apprentice Sister Shui Yun.
The second was Sect Master.
The third was Madam Yun.
Of these three people, one was in the True Lake Stage and the other two were in the Spiritual Sea Stage. Because the difference in strength was too great, Lu Ye couldn't see through their spirit force.
This was also the reason why Lu Ye wanted to retreat immediately. This woman in the red dress was an existence that he couldn't provoke, even if he had a nightmare spirit.
Of course, the lack of spirit force could also be because she didn't have any power. Those mortals who didn't cultivate didn't have any spirit force.
But in this Immortal Essence City, how could a spirit body not have any power?
Taking a step back, if she didn't have any power, it would be useless for Lu Ye to turn her into a nightmare spirit. But if she did have power … then things would be terrifying.
When he wanted to retreat, it was too late. The door was sealed and the spirit force was restricted. Lu Ye didn't even see any signs of her making a move. From the beginning to the end, the woman in the red dress sat quietly on the swing, swaying gently.
The Tian Ji Business Alliance's information wasn't that reliable. At the very least, Lu Ye didn't see any mention of such a terrifying existence in Immortal Essence City.
Damn it, refund my money!
A faint singing voice suddenly sounded. Although the voice was soft, it was as if it was singing in his ears, directly hitting his heart.
Lu Ye's nervous expression calmed down because he knew that in the face of such a terrifying existence, any resistance was meaningless.
Every spirit body in Immortal Essence City had their own obsessions and preferences when they were alive. Liu Sanbao wanted to gamble, the pipa woman wanted to recite poetry, and the woman in the red dress in front of him suddenly sang a ballad.
Lu Ye secretly speculated, could it be that the woman in the red dress wanted to listen to her sing? Or maybe he wanted to sing a duet with her, and if he sang well, she would let him go?
The other party didn't immediately attack him, but just imprisoned him here. This meant that there was still a chance for him to survive. Next, it would depend on how he dealt with it.
Lu Ye calmed his mind and listened carefully. If he turned back and was asked what he had just sung, he wouldn't be able to answer. Then, he would die in vain.
He couldn't hear anything from it. He could only feel the bitterness and sadness of the ballad's melody. As for what was sung in the ballad, Lu Ye couldn't hear a single word clearly.
Unknowingly, Lu Ye had been enveloped by great sadness. The faint song seemed to be telling a story of parting. Once the lover left, he didn't return for a thousand years, leaving the infatuated lover alone.
After an unknown period of time, the song that struck the depths of his heart suddenly disappeared.
Lu Ye was still immersed in the sad atmosphere. Even if he knew that he had been affected by the woman in the red dress' song, it would be difficult for him to walk out of the atmosphere for a while.
The swaying swing stopped, and a faint voice sounded, "Have you seen Tang Yuan?"
"Miss, do you want to eat Tang Yuan?" Lu Ye sniffed, thinking that this was a bit difficult. He had a lot of food in his storage bag, but most of it was dried meat. He didn't have Tang Yuan at all.
The woman in the red dress had her back to him, shook her head and said, "Tang Yuan is a cat."
"I haven't seen it."
After a moment of silence, the woman in the red dress said, "Can you help me find Tang Yuan? It's very dangerous outside. I'm a little worried about it. "
"Okay."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome!"
Boom …
The tightly shut door suddenly opened. Lu Ye jumped back decisively and quickly walked out of the courtyard.
Boom …
The door closed again, and a faint singing sound came from inside.
With the support of the Wind Travel Spirit Tattoo, Lu Ye ran until he was two streets away. Only then did he stop and gasp for breath.
Yiyi floated out of Hu Po's body with tears in her eyes. Obviously, she was also affected by the song just now.
"Lu Ye, are we going to look for that cat?"
"Look for …" Lu Ye originally wanted to say look for my ass, but before he could finish his words, his heart skipped a beat. He had a premonition that since he had promised the woman in the red dress, if he secretly went against her, he would definitely suffer. He quickly changed his words, "It's very easy to find a cat."
The sudden premonition disappeared without a trace.
This made him secretly shocked. Only then did he understand why the woman in the red dress let him go so easily.
His head hurt a little. Where could he find a cat in such a big Immortal Essence City? Moreover, it was hard to say whether there was a cat or not. If there was no cat in this city at all, this would be an unsolvable situation.
No, he just had to look for it. As for whether he could find it or not … This was not something he could control.
Understanding this, Lu Ye's heart suddenly became clear. The situation was not as bad as he had imagined.
Speaking of which, this Immortal Essence City was really strange. No wonder the cultivators who entered these places were full of complaints. Not only were there dangers everywhere, but they also had to deal with all kinds of strange requests from those special spirit bodies. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives.
It was not until then that Lu Ye noticed the aftermath of a fight nearby. Judging from the movement over there, there were quite a few people.
After asking Yiyi to hide, Lu Ye activated the Breath Concealing Spirit Tattoo, restrained his aura, and quietly approached.
