Chapter 102 The Suspended Soul Silk Unraveled 4
"Aaaaaaah!"
"Help!"
"There's a ghost!"
The young master of the Qian family's mournful cries echoed over the Liu family's residence.
"Dad! Run! There's a ghost here!"
The young master of the Qian family ran to the door of the Qian family patriarch's room, banging on the door and howling.
The door was quickly opened, and the Qian family patriarch, looking equally disheveled, ran out of the room. He was only wearing an undergarment, and the collar hadn't even been fastened.
"Son! Let's go!"
He grabbed the young master of the Qian family and ran towards the gate of the Liu family.
On the way, they encountered the Li family scholar and his wife, who were also running out. They glanced at each other and saw the panic in each other's eyes, and immediately understood each other's situation.
They didn't stop and kept running forward.
"My lord, please stay and keep me company. I will serve you well."
A woman dressed in white appeared from behind, light as a feather. She stretched out her arm and clung to the Qian family patriarch, her slender white fingers slipping inside his open robe, her breath sweet as orchids, entwining with the Qian family patriarch.
The head of the Qian family almost collapsed to the ground, but fortunately, the young master of the Qian family caught him, preventing him from falling.
But soon, another figure appeared and attached himself to the young master of the Qian family.
He couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Father! Save me!"
He reached out to the head of the Qian family, wanting him to save him.
The head of the Qian family paused for a moment, hesitated for a second, and then continued running forward.
He's in a precarious situation himself, so he should worry about himself first!
Sons? He has plenty!
But he only has one life!
He carried the woman on his back and ran faster as he went.
A woman and a man appeared on Li Shusheng and his mother, who were entangled together, struggling to move forward.
The scholar's mother was old after all; she couldn't run more than a few steps before the white-robed man on her body dragged her down, preventing her from walking.
Li Shusheng noticed this and quickly turned around to pull his mother away.
“Son, go run by yourself! Your mother is old and has lived enough. It doesn’t matter if I die here. At least I’ll have someone to keep me company.”
The scholar's mother was very open-minded. She was going to die sooner or later anyway, so at least she would have a decent man by her side when she died, so she wasn't at a loss.
But Li Shusheng disagreed.
Just as the two were struggling, the young master of the Qian family suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream.
The two shuddered and instinctively looked over, only to see the young master of the Qian family being pressed to the ground by the woman, his chest exposed. The woman's slender fingers were inserted into his chest, stirring it around as if she were looking for something inside.
Seeing the red liquid flowing on the ground, Li Shusheng and his mother could no longer maintain their composure and instantly turned deathly pale.
"Son! Take your mother away!"
The scholar's mother acted decisively, grabbed Li the scholar's hand, pushed away the people around her with difficulty, and ran out quickly.
The man and woman entangled with the two seemed to be attracted by the young master of the Qian family behind them. They walked over, lay down on him, and began to eat.
Li Shusheng glanced back, his face growing increasingly grim. This thing actually eats people!
He immediately sped up and quickly caught up with the Qian family patriarch ahead.
At this moment, he was not in a good condition either. The woman on top of him was scratching his skin with her red fingernails, leaving red bloodstains on his body.
The head of the Qian family looked pained, but he knew he couldn't get rid of the woman on his own, so he ignored her.
Upon seeing the scholar Li and his mother, who were ahead of him, he panicked and immediately grabbed the hem of the scholar's mother's dress.
"Let go!"
"I won't let you go! Take me with you!"
As they pulled at each other, the speed decreased.
They didn't notice that the young master of the Qian family, who had been screaming in agony behind them, had stopped moving.
By the time they realized something was wrong, the young master of the Qian family, his face deathly pale, had already arrived beside them.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
The red liquid dripped onto the ground, and the originally faint sound was crystal clear to everyone's ears.
"Father! Why won't you save me?"
The young master of the Qian family's voice echoed softly in the ears of the Qian family patriarch.
The head of the Qian family froze. He felt the temperature of the air around him drop suddenly, as if winter had suddenly arrived.
He slowly turned his head to look beside him and met his son's dark gaze. At the same time, he saw his son's chest, which was covered in blood and flesh and missing a heart, inside his open shirt.
"Ah!" he cried out in surprise, falling to the ground with a thud, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at him.
When the young master of the Qian family saw him like this, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
He slowly approached, gripping the Qian family patriarch's neck tightly with both hands until the man's eyes rolled back in his head.
He paid no attention to the kicks and punches from the Qian family patriarch, and only focused on exerting force.
But when the head of the Qian family was about to die, he let go of his neck, and after the man recovered a bit, he started choking him again. This cycle repeated itself, and he enjoyed it immensely.
Seeing this, Li Shusheng grabbed his mother and ran. Before long, they reached the doorway.
At this moment, the head of the Liu family was already there. He sent someone to open the door, but the door seemed to be welded shut. Five or six people went to open the door, but it did not budge.
"What happened?" The head of the Liu family looked extremely pale, with beads of sweat dripping from his face, and he looked very disheveled.
The others didn't look much better either. The door, which should have been easy to open, remained motionless, and something seemed very wrong.
"Sir, the door won't open!"
The butler's eyes were filled with anxiety, his facial muscles twitched, and he pounded on the door with his hand, but the door did not budge.
The head of the Liu family wiped the sweat from his face with his dusty sleeve, flicked his sleeve, stepped forward and tried it himself, only to find that the steward had not lied to him.
The door really can't be opened.
Everyone grew anxious, their hearts pounding at the thought of the danger chasing them from behind. They tried everything, but to no avail, as they were trapped in this enormous cage.
"Patriarch Liu! Where are you going?" The patriarch of the Qian family asked in a chilling voice.
Everyone was startled and turned to look behind them. The head of the Qian family was standing there at some point. His white undergarment was already stained red with his blood, and drops of blood were falling down, forming a pool of blood at his feet. It seemed that he had been there for some time.
Beside him stood his son, the young master of the Qian family. His shirt had long since disappeared, and all that could be seen was his open chest, revealing a bloody and mangled scene, with his internal organs faintly visible.
Upon seeing the two people, everyone gasped and retreated, pressing their backs tightly against the wall. They all huddled together as if trying to absorb the warmth from each other.
"Hmph! If it weren't for you, how could my son and I have ended up in this situation?"
The Qian family patriarch's sinister gaze swept over everyone: "None of you will escape!"
After he finished speaking, he pounced on the head of the Liu family, with the young master of the Qian family following closely behind.
In an instant, screams accompanied by blood and flesh created a bloody picture.
Liu Ruoyi sat on the eaves of the highest main house of the Liu family, leisurely watching the scene at the door, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, her eyes filled with a bright smile.
The way she looked made it seem like she was watching a play, as if the bloody scene unfolding was just a performance.
As one person after another died, the resentment that had been clinging to her was gradually stripped away.
When the last scholar, Li, was pierced through the chest by an arm, her resentment completely vanished.
Li Shusheng tilted his head back in excruciating pain and met a familiar figure sitting on the eaves.
At that moment, intense emotions erupted in his eyes, a mixture of countless feelings that made him momentarily forget the pain in his chest.
"Feel sorry."
He opened his mouth and uttered those words, and the light in his eyes vanished completely.
Liu Ruoyi glanced at him indifferently, and then her figure slowly disappeared into the world.
At the same time, the evil spirits that were wreaking havoc also disappeared.
The entire Liu family was in a terrible state. The Liu family servants who were lucky enough to survive screamed and ran away, which quickly alerted the people around them.
A short while later, the officials from the government office arrived.
Seeing the Liu family surrounded by soldiers, Shao Yanzhe and his companions exchanged glances and then left quietly.
Bai Ling followed behind them, looking somewhat listless, and even the amplitude of her usual floating motion was much smaller.
"What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy?" Shao Yanzhe asked.
"They've all left. I should be happy, but I feel a little sad," Bai Ling replied weakly.
"It's only natural. You've spent so much time together, you must have developed feelings for each other. It's perfectly normal for you to feel sad about their departure. They've gone to be reincarnated, which is a good thing for them. You should try to think more positively. Maybe you can go and see them later."
"good!"
Upon hearing that they could meet again, Bai Ling immediately perked up.
"What are your plans next? Are you going to stay alone, or come with us?" Shao Yanzhe asked.
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision: "Forget it, I'll stay alone. It'll be more comfortable that way."
"Okay, then you must never let those vengeful ghosts possess you again. Doing so will not only harm those vengeful ghosts, but will also damage you."
"clear!"
Shao Yanzhe watched Bai Ling leave before carrying Xuan Yao toward Zhou Jiming and the others who were waiting nearby.
They then headed towards their lodgings, discussing where they would go for their next study tour as they walked.
Just as the group reached a secluded spot, Shao Yanzhe suddenly looked up and stopped.
Zhou Jiming and the others noticed his movement and stopped as well.
"Brother Shao, what's wrong?" they asked, puzzled.
Then, following his gaze, they saw a dozen or so people standing not far ahead of them.
These people were dressed in the attire of the Heavenly Decree, and their gazes were filled with utter malice.
