CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 28: THEN DIE ONCE MORE!

The vengeful ghost wanted to cry but had no tears, quietly closed his mouth, and slowly retreated backward.

Each step he retreated, Yu Nianzhao would step forward.

"You weren’t an evil person in life, but you choose to act wickedly in death? Are you seeking to be completely obliterated?"

Yu Nianzhao’s voice seemed to come from the eighteenth level of the underworld, chillingly cold.

"Wailing... we don’t want to, our lifeblood is in the hands of that person, we have no choice but to obey orders."

The vengeful ghost whimpered, cowering in fear on the ground.

In front of King Yan, they were as insignificant as ants.

"Absorbing human souls, manipulating minds, taking lives! You are not innocent either!"

Yu Nianzhao shouted coldly, "Then die again!"

With a fierce killing intent appearing, the vengeful ghost hurriedly turned and ran, instantly diving under the big tree, into Song Jiling’s body.

Song Jiling roared, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Yu Nianzhao, the corner of his mouth lifting into a sinister smile, "Aren’t you heartless, sir, unwilling to spare even ghosts? What about this person, won’t you spare him either?"

"Tsk, I really hate being threatened by others!"

Yu Nianzhao squinted his eyes, smiling instead of being angry, "Prepare to face my wrath."

Yu Nianzhao moved quickly, seizing him by the neck without resistance, pinning him against the big tree. He raised one hand, a blade of judgment surrounded by purple lightning formed, and with a smile on his lips, he unhesitatingly thrust it toward Song Jiling.

Song Jiling’s smile froze on his face, and he screamed in terror, "Father, mother, grandfather, save me!"

Song Cheng and Mr Song were shocked, only seeing Yu Nianzhao about to kill Song Jiling, scaring them so much their hearts almost stopped.

Unfortunately, distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.

The vengeful ghost inside Song Jiling was afraid, a black shadow appeared, trying to escape from Song Jiling’s body.

A layer of golden light exploded on Song Jiling’s body, causing the vengeful ghost to grimace in pain, looking down to see a talisman unknowingly attached to his chest, trapping him inside.

The vengeful ghost’s mind was left with only one thought!

Damn, I’ve been duped!

He could only watch helplessly as the blade of judgment pierced his chest!

Aaargh—

Accompanied by miserable cries, dozens of black shadows spewed from Song Jiling’s mouth, fleeing to the sky.

"Jiu, eat them!"

The blade of judgment in Yu Nianzhao’s hand disappeared as he released his grip, causing Song Jiling to collapse to the ground.

Nine heads gobbled them up like a buffet, crunching away!

After eating to their satisfaction, the spirit of Jiu Ying retreated contentedly.

The black shadows vanished, the foggy skies cleared, and a ray of sunlight broke through, shining warmly upon them.

Song Cheng was at a loss, "This... I just realized that Song Mansion hasn’t seen sunlight for a long time."

"Jiling!"

Mr Song, coming to his senses, rushed to Song Jiling’s side in panic, holding him tightly, "Miss Yu, why did you try to kill Jiling as well? He’s still so young. If I had known, I would have let the ghost possess me instead. At my age, death is just death. I should have traded my life for his..."

Yu Nianzhao cleaned his ears, "Why cry? Mr Song, you really are getting old, your sight worsening. Song Jiling isn’t dead, who are you mourning for?"

Mr Song’s crying abruptly stopped, he looked down to see Song Jiling breathing steadily, merely passed out.

"Rest assured, my blade of judgment does not harm good people!"

Song Jiling, influenced by hostile forces and little ghosts, was still basically kind-hearted, ensuring this was why she stabbed without hesitation.

Mr Song breathed a sigh of relief, gratefully saying to Yu Nianzhao, "Thank you, Miss Yu, otherwise, with such a vengeful ghost, Song Mansion was bound for disaster."

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "So Miss Yu, is it resolved now? Is there still any evil presence in Song Mansion?"

"Only an Earth Fiend remains. Have someone dig up the thing below here!"

Yu Nianzhao gave directions, and Mr Song immediately ordered people to dig a pit under the big tree.

They indeed dug out a box wrapped in red fabric, several talismans painted with blood stuck on it, clearly something sinister.

Mr Zhao, supported by his disciple, hurried over upon seeing the Earth Fiend, "Right, this is the Earth Fiend, quickly open it and destroy the contents."

Mr Song hastily had the box opened, revealing inside hair, nails, accessories, and several folded red talismans.

"That’s my hairpin!"

Song Caiwei pointed to the hairpin in the box, her face pale.

Song Cheng swallowed hard, "Could that be my hair and nails?"

"These are undoubtedly your things, burn them all."

"Hurry and burn them!"

Crackle!

As they watched the Earth Fiend being destroyed, the red glow enveloping Song Mansion gradually dissipated.

Song Caiwei held her cheek, worried, "But the scar on my face still hasn’t disappeared, Miss Yu, what should I do to remove it?"

"You vicious woman, you’re truly vicious. Look at what you’ve done to us?"

Song Cheng slapped Ms Mei hard, disgusted, "You used the Earth Fiend, lured evil spirits, made me adore you, even tried to harm my own children! Truly malicious, you’d better quickly remove the scar on Caiwei’s face, or I’ll make you unable to live, unable to die."

Song Cheng was truly furious, thinking he’d been uncontrollably doting on such an ugly person made him want to strip a layer off her skin out of hatred.

Ms Mei cried, covering her face, "Wailing... it wasn’t me, I didn’t have such a ruthless heart, husband～"

A call of "husband" made Song Cheng’s skin crawl with goosebumps.

"If not you, then who? Daring to use the Eye-blocking Skill on yourself, what other vile means wouldn’t you use? The peace charm you got for me was intended to harm me. Look at my leg, it’s your doing, if it weren’t for Miss Yu, I fear this leg would have been crippled for good."

Song Cheng was filled with dread after the fact, without the Eye-blocking Skill, he no longer had obsessive fervor for Ms Mei, nor any trust.

"Wailing, I really don’t know anything..."

"Hmph, denying it to the end? Someone, come, take her away for a severe beating!"

"It’s not her!"

Yu Nianzhao’s single sentence stopped everyone.

Song Cheng was bewildered, "Miss Yu, what do you mean? If not Ms Mei, then who?"

Yu Nianzhao said nothing, her gaze fixed intently on the doorway.

"Thank you, Mr Lu, for escorting me back!"

A charming voice came from outside, "Mr Lu, would you like to come in for a chat? I believe Caiwei must be at home as well."

"Alright, I’ll accept the invitation then."

Soon, a handsome man and a beautiful woman entered together.

Song Caiwei watched them walk in side by side, their appearances so well-matched, her heart twisted, and her originally pale face looked even more haggard and sorrowful, a broken light in her eyes!
