Ni Huanzhi appeared very calm, with little expression on her face. Perhaps after facing countless reincarnations, she had already grown numb to them. Reincarnation after reincarnation, return after return—this world had long since ceased to be what it once was to her. She simply had no way to leave.
"Although I've awakened, my strength hasn't recovered, so there isn't much I can do to help you," Ni Huanzhi said softly. She then extended her right hand and pressed it against Lin Chuan's body. Golden flames instantly enveloped him, yet they carried no scorching heat—only a trace of warmth.
"As an Elder of Spirit Fire, the flames I emit strongly restrain Ghost Beasts, whether Bloodthirsty Ghost Beasts or psychic-type Ghost Beasts. However, I am not this time's Spirit-Bestowing Elder. If you want to use my flames against Ghost Beasts, you'll have to carry me on your back," Ni Huanzhi said.
"There are Ghost Beasts here?" Shangguan Dieche asked in surprise. She had not noticed any traces of Ghost Beasts along the way.
"There are, but very few. According to the records, there should be no more than ten Ghost Beasts here, but all of them are ninth-rank. If we encounter them, things probably won't be so easy," Ni Huanzhi said.
Although no one had ever entered the ninth level of the Floating Spirit Divine Palace, the Elders' Altar contained some records compiled from legends passed down since ancient times.
"Understood. Hide here for now. I'll go over there and check things out first. If anything happens, notify me immediately," Lin Chuan said after pondering for a moment.
With Ni Huanzhi's support, they effectively had a great weapon against Ghost Beasts. However, this weapon was only useful against Ghost Beasts and would be completely useless against cultivators like Young Master Hai.
