"Tear down... tear down his company?"
Wuyun Immortal and the true spirits of the Intercepting Sect who had just escaped listened to Xiruan's bold declaration, exchanging bewildered glances. Their little ancestor who had rescued them... was going to seek justice?
"Little Junior Sister, absolutely not!"
A delicate and gentle-looking female immortal true spirit hurriedly pleaded. She was a disciple of Guiling Holy Mother, known for her mild temper.
"That Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a Quasi-Saint, with vast Spiritual Power, and the backing of the Two Saints of the West. You... you are likely no match for him alone!"
They had been imprisoned for countless eons, enduring Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's torment day and night, and deeply understood his terrifying power. Although the little junior sister before them had appeared with unparalleled dominance, smashing open the City of Lost Souls with a Baby Bottle, she was, after all, only three and a half years old. They couldn't bear for her to take such a great risk.
"Yes, Little Junior Sister!"
"We are already eternally grateful for you saving us! Please take Senior Sister Wudang and leave here! Don't worry about us anymore!"
"Exactly! We are already content to see the light of day again and glimpse our fellow disciples! We cannot implicate you further!"
The true spirits of the Intercepting Sect all spoke out to dissuade her. The battle of Investiture of the Gods had already implicated their Master and the entire Intercepting Sect. How could they now implicate their Master's daughter? They would rather their souls scatter than see anything happen to the little junior sister.
"What are you afraid of?"
Xiruan waved her small hand dismissively, seeing their anxious faces. "That bald factory manager was already beaten away by me! He's all show, looks strong but is useless!"
What?!
At this statement, the entire City of Lost Souls fell into silence once more. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... the Quasi-Saint who had suppressed the Underworld for countless years, whom even Saints feared... was beaten away by her? Was it true or false?
They looked at Xiruan's exquisitely carved, innocent little face, filled with "I'm super fierce," and for a moment, they didn't know whether to believe this fantastical tale.
"What Senior says is absolutely true!"
Wudang Holy Mother's face was filled with pride and fervor as she loudly testified for Xiruan. "Just now, that Ksitigarbha fellow impetuously summoned the Twelve-Grade Red Lotus of Karma to harm Senior! But Senior blew out the karmic fire that filled the sky with a single breath! In the end, Ksitigarbha didn't even dare to utter a harsh word and fled with his tail between his legs!"
With each word she spoke, the mouths of the Intercepting Sect true spirits widened. By the time she finished, only stunned disbelief remained on everyone's faces. Blowing out the Crimson Lotus Karma Fire? What kind of terrifying power was this?
The way they looked at Xiruan instantly changed, from gratitude and pity to boundless admiration and fanaticism! Unbelievable! She could so casually smash open the gates of the City of Lost Souls with a Baby Bottle and rescue them from their plight! She wasn't a child who needed protection at all! She was a peerless Great Being whose power far surpassed that of a Quasi-Saint, unfathomable! She was the savior who would lead their Intercepting Sect to regain its peak!
"Our Intercepting Sect... is saved!!"
"The heavens have eyes!!"
Wuyun Immortal could no longer suppress his inner excitement, tears welling up as he bowed deeply to Xiruan. "Disciple Wuyun Immortal, I wish to follow Little Junior Sister for eternity, through fire and water without hesitation!"
"We also wish to follow Little Junior Sister! To restore the glory of the Intercepting Sect!"
"Whoosh—"
Thousands of Intercepting Sect true spirits knelt down in unison at this moment, their expressions fanatical, their voices shaking the nine netherworlds!
"Alright, alright, get up. The ground is cold."
Xiruan hated it the most when people knelt down. It was too troublesome. "I told you, I'm here to save you. Now everyone follow me! We're going to find that bald factory manager for our wages!"
Just as she was about to head towards Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's lair.
A sudden gust of cold wind swept through the sky above the City of Lost Souls, exuding a chilling aura. Two familiar figures, leading tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers, Ghost Generals, appeared like a dark, oppressive cloud, completely surrounding the City of Lost Souls.
This was the Black and White Impermanence, previously tied up by Xiruan.
"Audacious demon! How dare you plunder the City of the Departed and release a wanted criminal! You deserve to die!"
Black Impermanence pointed his Crying Stick at Xiruan and yelled.
This time, he had brought enough forces.
Not only had he mobilized all the elite Ghost Generals from the First Hall of the Underworld, but he had even spent a fortune to invite several Ghost Kings from the Youming Blood Sea, whose strength was comparable to Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, to assist them!
He refused to believe that so many people couldn't take down a mere little girl!
Last time, he was careless and unprepared. This time, he would get back what he lost, with interest!
White Impermanence shook his Soul-Snatching Chain and chuckled sinisterly, "Little girl, you chose the path to hell when the road to heaven was open!"
"Today, I, Seventh Master, will show you what it truly means to have your soul scattered!"
The two of them had just reported the situation to the other Yama Kings. To their surprise, the other Kings were all acting like scared turtles.

Unable to swallow their pride, they decided to gather their own troops and bring reinforcements from the Blood Sea, returning aggressively to settle the score.
Although this little girl was a bit strange, she was still only one person.
They had an army of tens of thousands! And Ghost Kings to back them up!
A single spit from each of them could drown her!
Xiruan didn't expect her two defeated subordinates, whom she had tied up before, to return with a bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to cause trouble for her.
"Yo, it's you two again?" She swung her Baby Bottle. "What? Didn't you get beaten enough last time?"
"Do you want to be tied up by me again?"
Hearing this, the faces of Black and White Impermanence turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Don't be so arrogant!" Black Impermanence yelled angrily, "Today we have tens of thousands of soldiers here! And Ghost Kings from the Blood Sea to assist! We will definitely cast you, demon, into the Eighteen Levels of Hell, never to be reborn!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Xiruan pouted, completely unfazed by his threat.
She turned and glanced at the thousands of Intercepting Sect employees who had just been freed behind her.
Then she looked at the dense mass of Ghost Generals.
She held up her little hand and counted her own people, then counted the people on the opposite side.
She reached a simple conclusion.
We have fewer people.
They have more people.
In a group fight, having fewer people is a disadvantage.
What should she do?
Xiruan thought for a moment.
Got it!
She pulled out a small, ancient-looking banner from her bellyband.
The banner was dark yellow, embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers, exuding a heavy, vast aura of the earth.
It was the Top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, which she had "borrowed" from that bad old man, Yuanshi Tianzun, to play with!
"This... this is... the Heavenly Origin Sect's treasure, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner?!"
Wudang Holy Mother's pupils contracted sharply, and she exclaimed in disbelief.
How could Senior have this treasure?
This was Uncle-Master Yuanshi's precious item!
Could it be... could it be that Senior went to the Jade Void Palace before coming to the Underworld?
And also... dealt with Uncle-Master Yuanshi...
She dared not think further, for fear that her Dao heart would shatter.
...The small colorful banner was originally intended by Xiruan to be used to cheer on the employees during her father's company's annual meeting.
Now it could be put to use ahead of time.
She threw the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner into the sky, cleared her throat, and yelled in a milky, tender voice:
"Employees behind me, don't be afraid!"
"Even though they have more people, we have cheats!"
"Little ones, transform for me!"
With her command, the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, suspended in mid-air, suddenly burst into brilliant light!
Streams of Xuanhuang energy poured down, instantly enveloping the True Spirits of the Intercepting Sect below.
Under the horrified gazes of the Ghost Soldiers of Black and White Impermanence.
Thousands of previously weak True Spirits of the Intercepting Sect sprouted sets of shining, majestic golden armor!
Their empty hands were now filled with sabers, spears, swords, and halberds forged from golden light!
Their originally ethereal bodies became incredibly solid, and their listless auras surged with this immense power!
Heavenly Immortal!
True Immortal!
Mystic Immortal!
Golden Immortal!
The auras of existences like Wuyun Immortal and Qiushou Immortal, who were already at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, instantly skyrocketed, showing signs of breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm!
In the blink of an eye.
A ferocious golden-armored legion composed of thousands of Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals was born from thin air!
The entire grim and terrifying City of Wrongful Deaths was illuminated as bright as day by this brilliant golden light!
"What... what kind of demonic magic is this?!"
Black and White Impermanence's legs went weak.
What a joke?!
Instantly strengthening thousands of souls, none of whom were even Heavenly Immortals, into Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals?
What kind of heaven-defying method is this?! It's too outrageous!
"My subordinates!"
Xiruan was very pleased with her masterpiece, and with a wave of her small hand, she issued the order for the general assault:
"Charge!"
"For our salaries! For our bonuses! For the year-end dividends!"
"Take them down!"
