In fact, Shang Lin's actual combat techniques weren't entirely based on science. Rather, his cultivation level was too low, forcing him to incorporate science into metaphysics to make his moves more powerful. However, there was absolutely no need to reveal this.

After making the preparations, Shang Lin let Ji Xiaoyao leave the Dragon Spirit Tower. He didn't say anything else, only that, "Don't worry, there's plenty of time."

Ji Xiaoyao subconsciously glanced at Old Man Chai's hands, and then reluctantly let the Divine Lord send him out. He understood Shang Lin's words, but he was still worried and wondered how their battle was going.

Especially Qiu Niang, even the sect leader, a person with such a calm and composed personality, was worried that she would turn into a ghost and lose her last bit of consciousness. How could he not be worried?

As soon as Ji Xiaoyao left the Dragon Spirit Tower, the tower spirit changed the space inside the tower. Shang Lin immediately said to Hu Tangdi, "Take out that embroidered shoe and put it on the ground."

Hu Tangdi glanced at everyone before taking out the embroidered shoe, simultaneously preparing for defense. However, the embroidered shoe remained perfectly still, as if it were just an ordinary antique.

Shang Lin didn't hold back and directly unleashed a bolt of lightning. The surface of the shoe instantly twisted, and a black shadow darted out, just like when it came last night, completely devoid of consciousness.

A torrent of black hair swept over him in an instant. At this moment, the God wished he had the Samadhi True Fire, so he could burn it all away cleanly and decisively. But right now, he still had to…

A burnt smell and the ghost bride's screams of pain pulled the god back to his senses. Shang Lin's semi-artificial lightning fire could actually burn the ghost bride's hair?!

Although everyone thought Shang Lin's experiment was amazing, when facing a vengeful ghost, science alone is not enough without metaphysics. So he has integrated and combined the strengths of both to make up for his weaknesses.

The deity suddenly grew larger, and even felt a surge of desire to engage in a great battle. He hadn't felt this way in many years. Shang Lin was ready for it, but the next second he changed back to his original size because this was Qiu Niang's home turf, and he couldn't compete with a junior.

In fact, it wasn't just the Divine Lord who felt this way; Shang Lin and Hu Tangdi felt the same way. They wanted Qiu Niang to completely settle their old grudges, and they were happy to protect her from the sidelines.

But as the ghost bride's hair burned and she roared in pain, a skeleton-like child hidden beneath her dress sprang out, its mouth full of sharp teeth, and pounced on Qiu Niang to tear her apart.

Qiu Niang instantly transformed into a ghost to retaliate, so she didn't bite the flesh, but she tore a piece of her sleeve. This startled Shang Lin, who then threw another talisman at her.

It must be said that the malevolence of this mother and son is far greater than that of Qiu Niang back then. They are the most malevolent ghosts Shang Lin has ever encountered so far.

It took the four of them quite a while to finally deliver the child from suffering. As for the ghost bride, there was no way to deliver her, so they could only break her apart!

In fact, Shang Lin was unwilling to do something like his soul being scattered, because no matter what the ghost bride was like in life, she was ultimately a mother who loved her child, but she could not do evil in the name of love.

The moment the child disappeared, the ghost bride went even crazier. She had a moment of lucidity in Shang Lin's dream, but now she was consumed by rage and ready to fight to the death.

Shang Lin was caught off guard and forced back a step, barely dodging the attack of the ghostly claw. Qiu Niang's eyes immediately turned red, and she looked like she was about to lose her mind. This startled Shang Lin; he couldn't afford to lose another one after dealing with one.

However, whether the ghost bride was already at her last gasp or Qiu Niang lost her mind and her strength suddenly increased, she actually crushed the other party's hand bones in one fell swoop, and then everything she touched shattered.

Finally, the ghost bride shattered into a pile of dust, which the god collected with a flick of his sleeve, saying, "Thank goodness, it didn't pollute the Dragon Spirit Tower."

Shang Lin hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Qiu Niang down to channel spiritual energy into her, fearing that she would become violent and completely lose her last bit of consciousness. However, Qiu Niang stood obediently without moving, as if she had become a statue.

No one knew that everything about the ghost bride's life was unfolding before Qiu Niang's eyes just like a scene from a movie. After her death, she was probably filled with too much resentment and was quickly discovered and sent to Dali Temple.

In the past, the death of a woman in the inner quarters was not a big deal. Even if she was the head of the household, if she did not have a powerful and loving family behind her, no one would suspect anything if her death was handled properly.

But Qiu Niang was clearly not of this type. Her father was a great Confucian scholar with countless students, and her mother was a royal merchant who paid a considerable amount of silver to the national treasury every year.

Originally, the parents only wanted their daughter to marry someone she loved and live a peaceful life. However, in order to maintain the balance of power in the court, the emperor directly bestowed a marriage upon her.

The emperor's decree could not be disobeyed, and Qiu Niang had no choice but to marry him. The general was heartless and ungrateful to her, and she was the same to the general. However, in ancient times, a woman obeyed her husband after marriage, and she had no right to resist.

She could only live each day as it came, but it was impossible for her to have no expectations at all. However, as one thing after another piled up, the concubine forced her to take medicine and made her suffer humiliation, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If Qiu Niang's body hadn't been discovered, it could have been searched as a missing person case. But once the body was discovered, the General's mansion naturally had to be investigated. After a thorough investigation, the General was demoted for favoring his concubine over his wife, and the concubine was directly put to death.

During the investigation of the General's Mansion, no one took good care of the child, and the little boy fell ill. Soon, the news of what happened in the mansion spread, and there was no way to get medical treatment for the child.

After the child died, news of her demotion and execution reached the general's mansion. Everything that the concubine had painstakingly acquired was lost in just a few months. How could she be willing to accept this? So she followed Qiu Niang's example, put on her wedding dress and hung it on the roof beam.

Even so, the general who survived did not escape death, because the true cause of Qiu Niang's death shocked him greatly. Although he disliked her, he never thought of killing her.

Putting everything else aside, the marriage was ordained by the emperor, and they were bound together even in death. Otherwise, the General's Mansion's century-old foundation would be destroyed in an instant. So they just thought that having another person in the family would have no impact.

In wealthy and powerful families, which one doesn't have a large number of wives and concubines in their harem? Their family is considered to be above average, with at most one wife and one concubine. They just never expected that the woman they liked would be so audacious!

When a person is in a high position of power, they can naturally avoid most dangers. But once they fall on hard times, there will be almost no one to help them in their time of need; instead, there will be many people who will kick them when they are down.

What position did Qiu Niang's father's disciples hold? Isn't it easy to make things difficult for a down-on-his-luck general? Even the emperor thinks he's useless. He only has two women in his family and yet he still managed to cause such a huge disaster as the destruction of his family and the death of his people. How can he possibly be competent to lead troops into battle?
