Chapter 990 The Returnee's Notes 64
The red-clad male ghost was clearly not in his right mind. He had just awakened and knew nothing, only possessing the most primal desire: to eat. He needed nourishment to strengthen himself.
Whether human or ghost, they are all his food.
These two ghosts are just too troublesome, and there's also some extremely unpleasant noise around them.
As the sound of the xun grew deeper, a sliver of clarity finally appeared in the male ghost's eyes, "I... am dead?"
He was resurrected? Yes, the sorcerer spoke of immortality; he must have been resurrected.
"Moon Maiden? Jiao'er?" Upon suddenly seeing the black-clad female ghost in his hand, Zhong Shang'an loosened his grip and was instantly bitten back. The red aura on his body faded considerably.
Lin Jiao is different from Lin Yueniang. Once she had a chance to resist, she pounced on him. As long as she doesn't die, Zhong Shang'an must die!
She harbored far more resentment than Lin Yueniang, and her strength also seemed to surpass hers.
Seeing this, Xie Ning held the Fire-Burning Talisman between two fingers, and formed a hand seal with his other hand to cast a spell. Suddenly, fire ignited, and then as the talisman burned out, a line of fire shot towards the location of the three ghosts.
Including the others, there are a total of nine fire lines. They are not straight lines, but are curved into a strange pattern.
The ghosts inside seemed to sense the threat. Zhong Shang'an stared fiercely at the people in the nine positions and immediately transformed into nine balls of red energy, rushing towards the nine people.
But it was quickly blocked by a faint golden light, and the bodyguard gasped, "Good heavens, that's the Golden Bell Shield!"
Just as Zhong Shang'an was about to make another attack, he was engulfed by a cloud of black energy. Lin Jiao looked at Lin Yueniang, who was still in a daze, and tears of blood flowed from her empty eyes.
“Mother, even now, can’t you stand up? Only by killing him can we be truly free! Only then can our ancestors, grandparents, rest in peace!”
Otherwise, they would not be able to escape Zhong Shang'an and the Zhong family's control even if they died!
Lin Yueniang shook her head. "No, that's not it."
Since her father passed away, she has only her husband to rely on.
Society taught her that her husband was like a god, so she never dared to rebel. Every time she asked her husband, she could only beg him to treat her well, considering the vast fortune that the Lin family had given him.
Even when the Lin family changed their surname to Zhong, she didn't dare to voice any objections. She only hoped that her daughter would have the surname Lin, so that the Lin family line wouldn't end.
Even if she has no family fortune and is neglected, it doesn't matter; she will find a good husband for her daughter.
But if she takes a step back, she has to keep retreating until there is nowhere left to retreat.
Scenes from the past flashed through her mind, and tears of blood welled up in Lin Yueniang's eyes. She was so useless. Looking down, all she could see were the coffins of the Lin clan members. If she sensed them carefully, she could also feel the aura of the Lin clan ancestors in the mountains.
“Zhong Shang’an, you have betrayed me! You have betrayed the Lin family! That day you said that if you betrayed me, you would suffer the torment of being burned alive. Now, it’s time for that to come true.”
Xie Ning suddenly met Lin Yueniang's face. The other woman was staring straight at him, her empty eyes extremely eerie.
Xie Ning also noticed the difference in the fire line in front of her; it didn't have the heat of a raging fire, but instead exuded a chilling aura.
The others were too far away to notice.
"I want to be famous, I want to be famous."
Xie Ning took out a Fire Separation Talisman that the old lady had given her, and said, "True meaning without separation, Yang Qi gathers and separates!"
The flames shot out instantly, circling the original fire line until they reached Lin Yueniang's front. Upon touching the red mist, they suddenly ignited into a ghostly blue flame.
Zhong Shang'an was still roaring, "I betrayed your Lin family? I was just a dog kept by your Lin family!"
"What? You didn't expect a dog to bite its master, huh? Hahaha! Do you really think the Lin family is anything good?!"
The Lin family raised many boys like him. If he didn't fight for himself, he would be bullied to death. And he still remembered how his family... was destroyed.
Master Lin didn't look down on ordinary beggars and orphans. What he wanted were good-looking and talented children, and such children wouldn't come from particularly poor families.
But they all lost their families and lives, so shouldn't the Lin family have died?
He was just seeking revenge; what's wrong with that?
He hadn't intended to pay attention to the sorcerer's ravings that day, having already killed Master Lin and the others to avenge himself and seize the Lin family's assets.
Therefore, he felt guilty towards the naive Lin Yueniang and had wanted to treat her well.
No matter how many concubines a family has, they are only there to continue the family line; they will not shake her position.
But... "Lin Yueniang, you say I've wronged you? But you've already wronged me!"
When did I ever betray you?
"Thinking of you is like a bright candle, burning my heart and filling me with tears. This is a poem you wrote for someone else. You've kept it all this way your whole life. Aren't you tired?" It was because of this poem that he made the difficult decision.
There are no good people in the Lin family!
Lin Yueniang laughed for a moment, then burst into tears, "Just because of this poem?"
"That's something I asked someone to give to you..."
"Why do you still want to harm Jiao'er? She is your daughter."
"Since I've already started, I should see it through to the end. I have more than one daughter. The Lin family has wronged me; I'll use it to ensure the Zhong family's continued prosperity, to grant myself longevity, to..."
The flames swallowed their voices, and those standing at the center of the formation dared not move, only able to see the raging fire in the air above the center of the formation.
Xie Ning only saw the black-clad female ghost standing quietly in the raging fire, watching the entangled couple. Without needing to consciously sense it, Xie Ning could feel the overwhelming sorrow emanating from her.
"Ridiculous...so ridiculous."
Lin Jiao seemed oblivious to the pain in her body, letting the flames engulf her.
"Mother!"
A shrill voice came from behind, and then a small black shadow pounced on the railing, about to jump into the flames, but Xie Ning quickly grabbed it and pulled it up.
"Going there will lead to death." It means complete annihilation, the soul scattered and the spirit dispersed.
"Mother is here..." The little ghost clung to Xie Ning's hand, its voice shrill. It wanted its mother!
It had already stolen Mother away, so why... did it come back?
