Chapter 424 Soul Calling Flag
The person standing in front of Qi Yanjiao was Zhen Huijuan, who had received Ye Wanxi's message the night before and rushed back on time.
Unlike the previous two times, what appeared before Qi Yanjiao this time was the image of Zhen Huijuan at the time of her death.
Zhen Huijuan died by falling from a building, so her death was naturally not a pleasant one.
Even Qi Xiaolian and the others almost cried out in surprise when they suddenly saw her like this, their faces turning pale.
But once they calmed down and recalled Zhen Huijuan's ordeal, and saw Qi Yanjiao's panicked appearance, they couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, and the visual impact faded considerably.
Upon hearing Qi Yanjiao's scream and seeing the female ghost appear before her, the man in black's eyes, which had remained calm since he got out of the car, finally showed a hint of emotion.
He almost instinctively wanted to attack Zhen Huijuan, but found that his hand was still being held by Ye Wanxi.
Ye Wanxi smiled at him, and the next second, she reached out with her fingers to grab the mask off the man's face.
The man didn't expect Ye Wanxi to do this, but he still chose to avoid her immediately.
At this point, he wasn't stupid; how could he not realize that he had been tricked?
The man struggled to break free from Ye Wanxi's grip and threw something at her in return.
Ye Wanxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and she turned to Qi Xiaolian and the others, whispering, "Stay away."
Qi Xiaolian and the others' expressions changed slightly. As the weakest fighters here, they immediately hid behind the sofa when they heard Ye Wanxi say that.
While avoiding holding others back, he also cautiously peeked out, keeping an eye on Ye Wanxi's movements.
The man threw out a flag, with a red cloth base and black border. On the fluttering red cloth, one could vaguely see several characters embroidered in gold thread.
"The soul-calling flag..."
Ye Wanxi stared at the flag, her expression somewhat grim.
Having followed several senior female disciples down the mountain to exorcise demons, and having personally witnessed a high-ranking monk performing a ritual to deliver the souls of the deceased after the event, she naturally knew what this was all about.
People generally say that this soul-summoning banner is an ominous object, but in reality, even evil objects have their uses. If used properly, it can also attract the souls of the dead, help them pass on to a better life, and bring blessings to the world.
That eminent monk was one such example, but the soul-summoning banner in front of us and its owner were clearly not among them.
As soon as this thing was thrown out, thick black mist billowed out, followed by the ghostly howls and cries of the vengeful spirits within.
From Qi Xiaolian and the others' angle, they could even see the terrifying sight of a large crowd gathered in the center of the flag, which made them tremble with fear.
Just by looking at this flag, Ye Wanxi was once again certain that the man in black in front of her was the mastermind who tried to lure Zhen Huijuan and others into committing murder, turning them into vengeful ghosts, and then using them for her own purposes.
And among the spirits within this flag that have long been refined, many were probably not born as vengeful ghosts, but rather as victims like Zhen Huijuan and others.
Upon thinking of this, Ye Wanxi's face turned cold. She drew a spirit sword from her storage ring and slashed at the man.
The man in black's expression changed slightly when he saw the sword in Ye Wanxi's hand. He immediately commanded the spirits in the summoning banner to rush towards Ye Wanxi.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qi Yanjiao, who was terrified by Zhen Huijuan and was crying uncontrollably, crawled backward on all fours, trying to ask the man for help, only to find that he was in dire straits himself.
When she turned around, she found that several more ghosts had surrounded her, and each of them was pale and bluish-white, which was quite frightening.
"Don't come any closer, don't come any closer, I don't know you, I don't know you, don't look for me, don't look for me."
"Don't you recognize us?" This question clearly touched a nerve with everyone present. This woman had killed them, and in the end, she just casually said that she didn't recognize them.
"Open your dog eyes and see who we are." Several wronged souls, whose deaths were not as horrifying as Zhen Huijuan's, suddenly approached Qi Yanjiao.
The icy chill that hit her made her shiver involuntarily, and when she saw the faces of these people clearly, she felt as if she had fallen into a freezing cellar.
"You, it's you!"
"You recognized us?" The men's expressions changed drastically, filled with ferocity and rage. "Qi Yanjiao, you killed us for your own selfish reasons. Today, we will make you pay with your blood!"
After confirming the identities of the people, Qi Yanjiao surprisingly calmed down. Her lips trembled, and she twisted off the lamp on the low table.
Using it as a weapon, he yelled at the group, "You bastards, trash, and useless people! You did this, didn't you? You're the ones who made me like this, aren't you? Hahaha, all you can do is resort to these petty tricks. You couldn't beat me when I was alive, and you can't do anything to me now that I'm dead."
"Just you wait, just you wait. Master Yan will soon take care of all of you trash. You were trash when you were alive, and now you want revenge on me even after you're dead? You don't deserve it! I can make you die once, and I can make you die a second time!"
Even at a time like this, he could still spout such outrageous remarks, which made Qi Xiaolian and the others admire his unwavering determination to do evil.
On the contrary, Gao Min, who was hiding to the side, couldn't help but swear when she saw this scene.
Gao Qiang and his companion were startled, thinking something serious had happened: "Sis, what's wrong?"
"The desk lamp! That desk lamp is Wanxi's favorite. It's an antique from the last century, worth hundreds of thousands on its own, and it's a pair with this one over here. Why did this idiot have to bring this up? Oh no, it's all ruined now."
Gao Min looked heartbroken and filled with regret, lamenting that she had been so focused on being nervous earlier that she hadn't bothered to pack away the valuables.
This is terrible, the losses are huge!
Gao Qiang and his companion were astonished when they heard her say that. Goodness, this seemingly old and dusty lamp was actually an antique, and an antique worth hundreds of thousands!
They had passed by that low table countless times during the few days they lived there, never giving it a second thought. If they accidentally tripped over it and broke it, wouldn't they be bankrupt?
No, Miss Ye is doing all this for them, so shouldn't they be held responsible for today's losses, both morally and logically? If that's the case...
The two young lovers, fresh out of college, looked at each other and almost burst into tears on the spot, mourning their impending loss of their freedom and the huge debts they were about to incur.
Zhen Huijuan and the others were completely unaware of the discussion taking place among them. Seeing Qi Yanjiao's unrepentant and arrogant attitude even as she faced death, their resentment surged within them.
"Really? Brothers and sisters, let's all go together and show Miss Qi whether we're still the trash she calls us. Remember to hold back, don't kill us."
