Chapter 306: Severing Ties to Avoid Future Trouble
k, Xian Shijun also held his spear and, escorted by the guards, met with the Empress.The wise servant saw the Empress in red, with a sword in hand, mercilessly slaying the surrounding black-clothed me...Liàn'yī didn't let Mǐn Mǐn and Wén Lù follow this time, asking them to stay at the inn and wait for news. Naturally, the two were unwilling, but Liàn'yī's attitude was very firm this time, leaving them with no choice but to comply.
However, because there was that Taoist priest and his young disciple following along, the two felt that their young mistress also had some help, so after seeing the two leave, they returned to the inn.
Worry-free was practically sprinting after Lu Yao Fairy, although she seemed to be strolling leisurely, every step she took widened the distance between them. In the end, he tucked Fengyu under his arm and ran, just barely managing not to fall behind.
An hour later, ripples arrived at the burial ground, and Wuyou lagged two steps behind. He stopped and looked at the place where evil qi was surging. He was sure this was the source of the evil qi.
Besides the mass grave, there were three bodies lying alone, already in the process of rotting. They belonged to the sons of Zhao, Qian, and Sun families, who had also been the murderers responsible for Lian Yue's death.
"Master, the evil spirit energy here is very thick, even thicker than at the Li family's."
Feng Yu micro-opened his mouth, watching the compass spinning in his hand, things were worse than when he was at Li's residence during the day.
Without Worry was about to reply, when suddenly a surge of evil energy split from the middle, and a barefoot woman in red walked out. Her porcelain-like face had lifeless eyes, with only a faint golden glow flickering at her brow.
The moment she saw the ripples, Lian Yue's expression contorted with a fleeting grimace, her eyes filled with hatred. In an instant, that ferocious expression vanished, replaced by a hollow and numb indifference.
She didn't even look at her three enemies, she just bowed to Lianri Fu respectfully, then opened her mouth and said:
Fairy, why would you go back on your word
"I'm so sorry! This is not what I wanted. Young Master Li ended the punishment early, it was this Wuyou Daoist who did it. I brought him here, tell him what you want him to do."
The ripples didn't have any intention of taking the blame for someone else. She directly offered Wuxiu up as a sacrifice.
"How could you betray my master!"
Feng Yu immediately cried out in surprise.
"It was your master who barged in and ruined my agreement with this Lady Lian Yue. Naturally, he should be the one to fix it. Do you think I, a celestial being, should clean up after your own mess"
Ripple's face remained unchanged, and she said faintly, also glancing at the two of them.
Worry-free immediately stopped him, slapping Fengyu's head to make him quiet. Then he stepped forward, standing beside Ripple and bowed:
"Miss Lian Yue, please do not misunderstand Fairy Lu Yao. This matter is my fault. I acted impulsively without knowing the reason and removed the curse from Master Li. Miss Lian Yue, how would you like me to make amends"
Without worry, he knew this was beyond him. The moment he arrived at the graveyard, he sensed its sinister aura - he lacked the power to subdue it, and might even get himself killed. This time, he had been too hasty in following Lady Lu Yao's decision.
Feng Yu, who had been knocked on the head, immediately realized something when he saw his master's amicable attitude. He shut his mouth tightly, clutching the protective jade pendant bestowed by his master in his hand, and retreated behind Wu You. His eyes darted around, wondering what to do.
"Hee hee! You Taoist priests, always claiming to be righteous, but you always protect the interests of those wealthy families. Have you ever wondered how I became a demonic spirit"
Lian Yue turned her head and revealed a gaze that seemed to be sizing up her potential prey, making Wuyou feel very uncomfortable.
Ripples raised a hand, causing a memory orb to shoot out and enter Wuyou's brow. Inside were Lian Yue's final moments, including her abandonment at the burial ground and how her resentment summoned evil spirits, ultimately transforming her into a vengeful spirit.
Worry-free just blinked, and then bowed to apologize:
"It was reckless and thoughtless, without understanding the cause and effect of things. They suffered this torment, their souls scattered, they didn't even have the chance to be reborn, this was the greatest punishment for them. Miss Lian Yue has now avenged herself, why not disperse your soul and leave."
“Originally, I had promised Lady Lu Yao that after they received their due punishment, I would dissipate and leave. It was Lady Lu Yao who helped me maintain the last shred of clarity. But you allowed Young Master Li to transcend prematurely. What compensation will you offer me”
Lian Yue spoke, her eyes flickering between red and black, as if on the verge of a complete darkness, ready to lash out and harm.
Worry-free's back was soaked with sweat, he was racking his brain, thinking of how to salvage the situation and prevent this evil spirit from harming more people.
"Lian Yue, I know the hatred in your heart won't lessen because of their deaths. However, Wuyou Daoist didn't do it on purpose. These pampered young masters acted so recklessly and disregard for human life, relying solely on the power of their families."
As the saying goes: "A child left to his own devices will lead himself astray!" Their actions are inseparable from the doting and shielding of their elders at home. Perhaps it's time for Wuyu Daoist friend to step in and shake things up a bit with these families' feng shui.
If they themselves are corrupt officials or ruthless in their pursuit of wealth, their families will inevitably decline and fall. When they are reduced to the same circumstances as Miss Lian Yue, let their descendants also experience your hardships. What do you think
Lian Yue, after hearing Lian Yi's words, finally regained her consciousness in the last flicker of clarity. Her pupils returned to black, and she suddenly smiled, bowing deeply to Lian Yi with respect.
"Thank you, fairy, for all that you have done for me. I am also willing to ensure your safety forever."
Liàn Yī now looked at Wú Yōu. Wú Yōu could only grit his teeth and say:
"If it was my fault, I will do as Lu Yao Fairy said. I also ask Miss Lian Yue to keep Shuangqi Town peaceful."
"Great!"
As Li Yue spoke, she was engulfed by a black mist, levitating in mid-air. Her shrill laughter echoed through the air, traveling far and wide.
Lian Yue raised her hand and roughly pulled the souls out of the three decaying corpses. She held them in her hand, and in the terrified expressions of the souls, with a "bang," her body instantly turned into ashes, taking the three hideous souls with it as they vanished.
At the same time, a golden relic flew out from her body and was caught in Lian Ri's hand. Then, when the evil energy spiraled out of control, Lian Ri directly chanted incantations, activating an array she had set up beforehand. The spiritual marrow, guided by her power, drew a picture of an extermination array, slowly consuming all the evil energy across the entire cemetery.
The ripples returned the relic to its place in the rosary. Then, turning to look at the somewhat stunned Wuyu Daoist and Fengyu, it spoke:
She already died tragically, so I promised her revenge. I sent her away because of you two, this is all unnecessary.
But you still have to do what you promised. Adjusting the feng shui shouldn't be a problem for Master Wuyou, right
"The fairy, the fairy is adept at manipulating wind and water, which harms cultivation."
Feng Yu whispered.
"How do you mean 'damaging' I didn't have you destroy any of their homes or Feng Shui."
"Wouldn't that ruin them and bring their descendants to ruin"
Feng Yu whispered in protest.
"I said, if they themselves are corrupt officials and ruthless in their pursuit of wealth, that's when they will fall from grace. However, if they can take this as a warning, they shouldn't fall so easily."
Those aristocratic families weren't built up in just one or two generations, let alone those incredibly wealthy ones. Wealth accumulation is a process, there are no overnight riches, unless you stumbled upon a gold mine."
Ripple explained lightly.ren have it, my grandchildren will definitely have it too."Da Bao hadn't responded yet, and the baby in her swaddling clothes, Bei Bei, started babbling and gurgling."We, Beibei, also want to go! Then...
