To save the common people, she sacrificed herself to Heaven.
Zhong Nianyao thought she was truly going to turn to ash, but unexpectedly, when she opened her eyes again, she had become the you...
Chapter 302: To Vent the Hatred in My Heart
The people of the Zhu family didn't dare to do anything and could only hide not far away, trembling.
It was obvious that the Three Pure Ones had come to help them, but now that they had encountered problems, they only dared to hide aside. Even after the Three Pure Ones were in danger, they did not have a trace of sympathy, but only blamed the Three Pure Ones for their incompetence, which led to the current situation.
They were even more worried that after they dealt with the Three Pure Ones, the Five Ghosts would come and take their lives.
Just when the five ghosts were about to pounce on Master Sanqing and start tearing his soul apart, a golden light appeared and directly shook the five ghosts away.
Because of that golden light, the five ghosts still suffered minor injuries.
Master Sanqing let out a long sigh, and then looked in the direction of Zhong Nian Yao.
At this time, the only person who could save him was Zhong Nianyao. If it weren't for Zhong Nianyao's help, his soul would have been torn to pieces by the five ghosts.
The five ghosts also noticed the presence of Lu Yichen and Zhong Nian Yao.
Just now, they finally broke free from their restraints and only wanted to seek revenge on that stinky old Taoist priest, so they didn't notice the existence of these two people for a while. Now that the woman took action, it naturally attracted their attention.
"You were the one who saved that stinky old Taoist priest just now, weren't you?" The leading Wealth Ghost waited fiercely for Zhong Nianyao, his eyes red as if he were about to cry blood. "You're here to take us away too, aren't you?"
"No." Zhong Nianyao shook her head honestly.
Such an unexpected answer left the five ghosts stunned.
The golden light just now was enough for them to feel Zhong Nianyao's strength. In addition, they found that Lu Yichen standing next to Zhong Nianyao made them even more wary.
The mere presence of this man and woman was enough to put them on high alert. They were all ready to engage in a fierce battle. However, the other party's negative response left them stunned.
"Are you kidding us?" The wealthy ghost quickly came to his senses. When he looked at Zhong Nian Yao, his eyes became even more sinister, as if he would pounce on her at any moment. "We are going to kill you now."
"I'm not kidding you."
In stark contrast to the fierce expression on Cai Gui's face, Zhong Nianyao was remarkably calm. "In your deal with the Zhu family, the Zhu family breached the contract first, and you retaliated later. There's nothing wrong with that."
After hearing what Zhong Nianyao said, the five ghosts were not moved at all. When they looked at Zhong Nianyao, they were only wary and looked at each other. Obviously, they did not believe what Zhong Nianyao said.
"Since you don't intend to intervene, then leave immediately." The leading Wealth Ghost said directly, "Otherwise, even if it means a fight to the death today, we will not let you off easily."
"You can punish the Zhu family if you want, but is it really worth it to commit murder for such a treacherous person?" Zhong Nianyao looked at the five ghosts and said, "You are only one step away from the path of reincarnation. If you really kill the Zhu family and take human life on your hands, you will truly fall into a place of no return."
"We can no longer reincarnate." Lu Gui stood up, his face covered in blood and tears, looking eerie and terrifying. "Originally, as long as the Zhu family continued to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, we would have had a few decades to reincarnate, and we could have been reborn into a good one. Now everything is ruined."
"We are the ones who brought prosperity to the Zhu family for three generations, yet they betrayed us." The official ghost's face looked particularly ferocious. "Even if we kill them, it won't relieve the hatred in our hearts."
"Even if you don't kill them, they won't have an easy life." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "All their family's wealth is about to be gone. After so many years of enjoying a wealthy life, for them to fall into poverty is definitely more painful than death."
"Also, due to the backlash, Zhu Yu's body is almost exhausted and he will die soon. His descendants will not only be impoverished but also plagued by illness. In fact, they will soon be extinct. They will receive the punishment they deserve. For them, you are about to sacrifice your souls. Is it worth it?"
"I'm going to kill them to vent my hatred," the Wealth Ghost said, gritting his teeth. "We used illicit means to bring them money, which is against the will of Heaven. If they continue to do good deeds, we can avoid punishment and accumulate merit."
"Now they are squandering their money, but we are being punished and can no longer enter the cycle of reincarnation. Is it fair for us not to kill these people ourselves?"
After hearing what Cai Gui said, a hint of understanding flashed in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes.
It seems that she is lacking, no wonder these five ghosts are so resentful!
The Five Ghosts Bring Wealth technique wasn't a legitimate technique, but rather a side hustle. Since you've exploited this loophole, you must bear the consequences. Doing good deeds and accumulating merit can offset each other and accumulate merit.
It was simply because the Zhu family didn't do good deeds to offset their suffering that the Five Ghosts were punished by Heaven. Furthermore, because of their power, the Zhu family had harmed many people. As the Five Ghosts who brought wealth to the Zhu family, they were effectively accomplices, and their punishment was even more severe. This completely blocked the Five Ghosts' path to reincarnation. No wonder they were so resentful and determined to kill the Zhu family!
Master Sanqing, who was already injured, fell into deep thought after hearing the words of the wealth ghost.
At this moment, he also began to doubt whether it was wrong for him to help the Zhu family from the beginning?
"Master, please save us!"
Zhu Yu was also scared. He almost used up all his strength and came to Zhong Nianyao's side. He knelt down and begged, "Please save us, we don't want to die here! I will donate all my wealth right now, just ask you to save us."
Things had come to this point, and the five ghosts looked like they were going to eat them alive. He was really scared. For him now, saving his life was the most important thing. He also needed a life to enjoy his wealth!
As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.
If I die now, I will have nothing left. Moreover, if all the descendants of the Zhu family die here, then the Zhu family will be completely extinct. In the future, there will be no one to worship them.
Seeing Zhu Yu's performance, other members of the Zhu family also began to plead with Zhong Nian Yao.
