Mu Xinian looked at the change in the boy's aura and immediately became alert. He took a step forward, ready to take action at any time.
Lian Yi waved her hand to let Mu Xinian leave. She said calmly:
"If I'm not mistaken, the person who made your promise helped you set up the formation so that you had the power to take revenge.
But after you've taken your revenge, you find yourself uncontrollably attacking everyone around you, even if they've helped you before."
The cyclone of resentment that had just formed around the boy dissipated instantly because of Lianyi's words, and his eyes returned to black.
"They knew I was bought, but no one called the police for me when I was abused. They just gave me a couple of bites to eat so I wouldn't starve to death. They are also accomplices."
The boy said in a hoarse voice.
"Then have you ever thought that the Zeng couple never told the villagers that you were bought? What if they told others that you were adopted from an orphanage?
As adults observing the scene, they knew very well what an orphanage was. At least you still had your parents when you stayed at the Zeng family, but if you went back to the orphanage at such an old age, you would definitely not have a good life.
So they just made the decision they thought was right without asking you, the person involved, what you thought.
Besides, you haven't shown any intention of leaving this family!"
Lianyi's words made the boy fall into silence. He really had not considered these things, nor would he consider them. Before he died, he just wanted to have enough food, warm clothes and not be driven out.
“You are a good kid. Even when you lost your self-awareness, you only frightened those who bullied you, but did not hurt those who had shown kindness to you.
Until you start attacking them too, you realize that what you are doing is wrong, so you pull the entire village into your territory.
Because you know that this will definitely attract a master like me, and I can help you out of this predicament, am I right? "
Ripple analyzed softly.
The boy looked at Lian Yi with his dark eyes again, then nodded and said:
"So, can the Heavenly Master help me?"
"Okay, but it will be painful to weaken the resentment in you, and you will become weak. Are you ready?"
"I've avenged myself and wanted to leave a long time ago."
The boy had an expression that said, "I want to be free as soon as possible."
"Okay, then you do as I say!"
Lian Yi raised her hand and threw nine jade talismans to Mu Xinian, and said:
"Xi Nian, set up a resentment-removing formation in this yard."
"Yes, Master!"
Mu Xinian took the formation materials given by Lianyi and drew a complicated formation pattern on the ground in the yard with a special ink block. Then he activated the nine jade talismans according to the directions of the five elements and placed them in the corresponding positions.
He knew that this was his master testing him. If his master had arranged it, she would have only needed to raise her hand.
The Resentment-Removing Formation was in a semi-activated state, so the boy could feel that the powerful force that maintained him was actually being sucked into the formation.
"Kid, sit in the middle and hold on to the end, and you will get what you want."
The boy looked at the silver-glowing formation, sat down without any reluctance, then closed his eyes and said hoarsely:
"I'm ready! You better hurry up, here he comes!"
After hearing this, Lianyi knew who the 'he' the other party was talking about, so she took out her evil weapon dagger from the space and threw it into the air.
The dagger stopped directly above the boy's head, and then responded with the formation, starting to absorb the resentment in the boy's body.
"Master, is the person he is talking about the Heavenly Master who set up the evil formation?"
Although Muxinian asked a question, his tone was very firm.
"It should be. If I want to fight with the other party, you should take the villagers away to avoid being splattered with blood."
Lian Yi said with a calm expression.
Mu Xinian was stunned for a moment. He felt that his master seemed to have told a joke just now.
Before he could think of how to respond, the boy began to wail in pain, and his entire soul became extremely unstable.
The little boy's face switched back and forth between gentleness and calmness, indifference, and even resentment and madness, as if he had several personalities.
Lianyi frowned. She didn't expect that the other party valued the little boy so much and had actually done something to the boy in advance. No wonder the boy could notice it himself.
If the other party was not so anxious, and the boy killed everyone in the village, the resentment would accumulate to a certain level and he would completely become a vengeful spirit who only knew how to kill.
He didn't realize that the vengeful spirit was the easiest to control, or perhaps the other party was afraid that all his efforts would be in vain, so he kept a backup plan in advance.
Unfortunately, Mu Xinian arrived in time and was very self-aware, so he brought her, his master, here.
The man in black who had already arrived near the village seemed to have sensed something, his expression changed, and he quickened his pace.
Lianyi looked at the boy who seemed like he would disappear at any moment, raised his hand and ejected a point of merit light, which hit the boy's soul. The boy's ferocious and frantic expression gradually eased and finally returned to calm.
"Master, what is that thing that can calm down the evil spirits so quickly?"
“That’s merit.”
Ripple explained lightly.
“Master is so amazing!”
Mu Xinian's praise was sincere, because it was the first time he had seen such a thing in his two lifetimes.
After he finished speaking, his expression darkened. In his previous life, he had caused his master to fall into that situation. No wonder his master had never mentioned anything about merit.
Just as Mu Xinian was distracted, as the resentment of the boy was stripped away, the domain he created also disappeared, and the entire Shishan Village reappeared in front of people.
The man in black who had already reached the entrance of the village had a stern look on his face and frowned tightly. Although he was already a step late, he still wanted to see who the other party was who dared to intercept him.
Lianyi also raised her eyebrows, and after the evil dagger absorbed the last bit of resentment from the boy, she put the dagger back into the space.
The boy was also freed, bowed to Lianyi, and was taken away by a beam of light.
Mu Xinian also noticed that someone had entered the village. He opened the gate first and found a middle-aged man dressed in black standing outside the door with a black mountaineering bag on his back.
Seeing the gate open, the man with a resolute face asked politely:
"Hello, I'm the Heavenly Master. I sensed resentment here, so I came to take a look."
When Mu Xinian saw the other person, he almost couldn't maintain his calmness, because he had seen this man before. The other person was very familiar with his master. To be precise, he was familiar with the female ghost king who was willing to accept his feelings.
Wan Zizhong sensed the fleeting hostility of the young man in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the other party say with some displeasure:
"I am also a Heavenly Master. Although I have not yet completed my apprenticeship, I was the one who accepted the mission for this village. Now my master has finished it. Do you want to snatch the mission?"
After hearing this, Wan Zizhong understood why the other party was hostile to him, and said a little embarrassedly:
"Sorry, I've accepted another mission. I just found something wrong here, so I came to check it out. I don't mean to steal the credit." (End of this chapter)
