Chapter 529: Chapter 521: Itchy Hands, Want to Chop Her Down!
Yao Feifei came to her senses from her crazed state after being slapped by a talisman from Qin Liuxi and looked down at herself, “Am I… am I alright?”
Weeping and laughing, she said, “I’m fine, it was all fake, all fake, sob sob.”
As she spoke, tears kept falling nonstop.
The illusions were fake, but the shock and pain inflicted on her soul were real; she was Jiang, the one who endured the atrocities beyond human endurance.
And she was pregnant with twins, three lives lost, yet after death, she did not find peace.
Yao Feifei hugged herself, crying inconsolably.
Such horror, it was too painful; she feared that she was Jiang herself!
“Junior sister.” Xuan Qingzi went over, holding her in his embrace to comfort her.
Bai Renting, hovering mid-air, watched coldly with a jeering, eerie laugh that pierced through the ears like the wail of a demon.
Xuan Qingzi and the others looked over, their pupils contracting at the sight.
Compared to the weaker new ghost they initially encountered, Bai Renting was now enshrouded with intense resentful energy, his eyes bloodshot, ghostly face pale as death, hair disheveled; he devoured dead souls, swallowed living souls, and had already taken several lives, metamorphosing into a true Evil Ghost.
Xuan Qingzi immediately thought of their first encounter with Bai Renting, who coldly said that justice has its targets, and he would leave on his own after taking his revenge.
They didn’t believe him because ghosts are known for being deceitful, especially after seeing he did not even spare children; filled with rage, they ultimately made their move.
That’s right, Bai Renting spared no child, but did the village chief and his son ever spare the young woman pregnant with twins, even torturing her after death?
Xuan Qingzi felt a taste of blood in his throat, for all harmful ghosts must be exterminated, but they never questioned the right and wrong; was their past firmness mistaken?
Qin Liuxi glanced at him, shaking her head; his Dao Heart was unsteady.
Bai Renting watched coldly, not caring about what they felt, he coldly said, “After everything, do you still wish to subdue me, to shatter my soul?”
Xuan Qingzi stood up and said, “I deeply sympathize with what you’ve undergone, and now that the matter with the Zhang Family has concluded and you have had your vengeance, you should return to dust; your harming of innocent lives cannot be ignored because of your suffering, come back to the Daoist Temple with me, and I will have my master help you transcend, eliminate your resentful energy, and lead you through the Ghost Gate.”
Qin Liuxi quietly nodded, not as foolish as she thought.
Bai Renting sneered, “You, a little Taoist think you’re capable? Not afraid to die, huh? You possess merit; if I devoured your soul, wouldn’t my ghost power become even stronger?”
Licking his lips, he then looked towards Yao Feifei with the utmost evil intent.
Yao Feifei went limp, shivering as she scooted backward on her bottom.
Xuan Qingzi’s complexion changed several shades, gripping the sword in his hand, he said, “Even if I perish, my Dao destroyed, I will not sit by and watch you torture the innocent.”
“Such righteousness, Heavenly Master, innocent? Every person I harmed was wicked; if the human world does not punish them, I shall collect. Hahaha…” laughed Bai Renting malevolently.
Qin Liuxi clicked her tongue, “What a sin, a fine scholar turned into a fierce Evil Ghost.” She said, “Are you going to fight or not? If so, do it quickly; it’s almost dawn, don’t hinder me from going back to sleep.”
Saying this, she even yawned exaggeratedly.
Xuan Qingzi: “…”
Not helping but fanning the flames? Be human, come on!
Bai Renting: “!”
Is she mocking me?
But Qin Liuxi’s sudden phrase made it a bit awkward between the one person and one ghost, not knowing how to make their move.
Xuan Qingzi: If he turns evil right away, I’ll make a move.
Bai Renting: This Daoist is really holding on to that belief that all sneaky things are evil, looking stupid when seeing a ghost. That’s when he performs best. What’s this now, a fence-sitter?
Qin Liuxi lifted her eyelids and glanced at the two, saying, “Not fighting? Bai Ligu, bring out your ghost power and make your move. Don’t waste this atmosphere.”
Bai Renting stared at her gloomily.
Felt like there’s a trap in her words.
“Xuan Qingzi, is that all the impressive skill you guys from Jinhua Temple have? Start with a sword strike,” Qin Liuxi teased again.
Xuan Qingzi: Would you please shut up?!
Seeing that neither of them took any action, Qin Liuxi then said with a hint of disappointment, “It seems my sunflower seeds are going to be wasted after all.”
Xuan Qingzi and Bai Renting: “…”
The itch to slice her up!
“Since we’re not fighting, let’s talk properly,” Qin Liuxi said, looking at Bai Renting. “Staying in the human world as an Evil Ghost does you no good. This little Taoist can’t take you down, but there are those with higher cultivation who can.”
Like me.
Bai Renting scoffed, “Are you trying to convince me to report to the Underworld?”
Yes, I’m trying to persuade you to be good.
“I’m already dead. You think I would be afraid of you Heavenly Masters?” Bai Renting stretched out his hand, and yin energy swept over.
Xuan Qingzi braced for battle.
Qin Liuxi formed a Sealing gesture with both hands, sending a talisman that stopped the yin energy in its tracks.
Bai Renting’s expression changed, and his eyes became much more cautious.
From the beginning, in the illusion, he knew that Qin Liuxi was more powerful than those two incompetents. But since she did nothing but watch coldly, he didn’t move either.
Now, seeing this move from her, he knew he was not wrong.
But what of it? He’s already died, and his family is broken and gone. What does it matter if he dies again?
Qin Liuxi said indifferently, “You’re brave not fearing your soul scattering, but what about your wife, children, and parents? Don’t you want to see them again?”
Bai Renting was immediately agitated, “Can I, really see them?”
“Your resentful soul stayed in your home for seven days. Have you seen their souls?”
Bai Renting was stunned, then shook his head, “I actually haven’t.”
Qin Liuxi sighed, “That’s better, it means that upon their deaths, they went straight to the Underworld. Nowadays, I hear there are quite a few souls lining up for reincarnation; they may not get their turn so quickly. Besides, they died unjustly and haven’t seen you; it’s possible they are waiting for you below.”
Bai Renting’s entire ghost form was dazed, “Waiting for me?”
“Your family was happy in life. Since the whole family died unjustly, how could they abandon you and reincarnate on their own? They must all take the Yellow Spring Road together. But you linger in the mortal world and even become a fierce Evil Ghost, adding to your sins. All your wrongdoings will be recorded in your Merit and Demerit Record and follow you to your next life, continuing to haunt your descendants. Whether you think I am scaring you or trying to coax you, I have said all there is to say. If you insist on staying, then there’s nothing I can do.”
Qin Liuxi looked at him and continued, “Moreover, your whole family is dead, your great hatred has been avenged, what purpose does it serve to remain in the human world? To kill all the evildoers in the world? Mr. Bai, the killer is always killed by someone, the same goes for ghosts. You aren’t afraid of death, but what about solitude? Aren’t you afraid of that? Just like now, in this Yizhuang, there is no person, no ghost, just you alone, constantly indulging in the past, suffering from the soul-devouring and heart-piercing pain. In that case, why not go to Yellow Spring Road to find them? At least the whole family will be together, won’t they?”
