Chapter 301 Five Ghosts Appear
After listening to Master Sanqing's words, Zhong Nianyao's eyes flashed with understanding, and then she continued, "Then do you know the consequences of suppressing the Five Ghosts?"
Master Sanqing was a little stunned. "Senior, is this what I did wrong? The Five Ghosts have already begun to retaliate. If we allow this to continue, everyone in the Zhu family will be in danger."
So he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.
"What about the Five Ghosts? You only think about the Zhu family. Have you ever considered the Five Ghosts?" Zhong Nianyao said coldly. "The Zhu family became wealthy because of the money the Five Ghosts painstakingly brought back. But the Zhu family betrayed their promise and didn't do any good deeds to add any blessings to the Five Ghosts. The Five Ghosts brought wealth, so if the Zhu family didn't keep their promise, it would be understandable that they would suffer backlash. Why do you want to destroy the Five Ghosts?"
"But..." Master Sanqing frowned, "No matter what, it's always wrong for ghosts to harm people. I can't bear to watch the Zhu family being harmed by those five ghosts. This is also against the harmony of heaven."
"Heaven's laws are fair." Zhong Nianyao shook her head and said, "The deal between the Zhu family and the Five Ghosts was simple and clear. One wanted merit to allow for reincarnation, and the other wanted money to enjoy life. The Zhu family was the first to break their promise, so it's understandable that the Five Ghosts would retaliate. Why do you say the Five Ghosts were wrong?"
“But…but…”
It was not known whether he was persuaded by Zhong Nian Yao, but for a moment, Master Sanqing could not say anything to refute.
The Zhu family members nearby were getting anxious, and Zhu Yu quickly stepped forward, "Master Sanqing, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. The Five Ghosts are going to kill everyone in our Zhu family, are you just going to stand by and watch?"
Master Sanqing stood there with a frown, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, the temperature of the entire room suddenly dropped. It was originally just biting cold, but now it suddenly became like an ice cellar, making it impossible to stay there.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden?"
"Is the air conditioner at home broken?"
The Zhu family members began to get a little restless, but there wasn't much of a reaction. However, Master Sanqing's face changed drastically, and he looked towards a certain place with a wary look, as if he were facing a great enemy.
Although Lu Yichen and Zhong Nianyao were not as angry as Master Sanqing, their expressions were not much better.
"It's those five ghosts." Master Sanqing's face was solemn. "They have now broken through my suppression and are bound to settle accounts with you, the Zhu family."
Zhu Yu was shocked, the fear in his eyes unable to be concealed. He quickly said, "Master Sanqing, you must save us! All our lives are counting on you. After this is accomplished, I will definitely offer you that treasure with both hands."
The rest of the Zhu family was in even greater disarray. They hurried to leave the villa. As the temperature inside the villa dropped, their panic grew. With no other thoughts, they simply wanted to run. They felt that if they left the villa, they might still have a chance of survival.
Watching the Zhu family rushing towards the gate, Zhong Nianyao shook her head and murmured softly, "It's useless."
On the other side, after the Zhu family members arrived at the door, they discovered that there was clearly no problem with the door lock, but the door seemed to be blocked by something and could not be opened at all.
At this moment, a ball of black gas flew down from upstairs, and then five ghost shadows appeared directly in the living room.
Each ghostly figure looked eerie and terrifying, and their undisguised murderous intent only made the Zhu family even more terrified. Some of the younger and more timid women had already begun to cry out loud, and a few had even wet their pants out of fear.
The five ghosts ignored the Zhu family for the time being. In their view, the Zhu family was already meat on the chopping board and could not escape. They saw the presence of Lu Yichen, Zhong Nianyao, and the Three Pure Ones.
When the leading ghost sensed the aura emanating from Master Sanqing, he bared his teeth and said viciously, "You old Taoist priest, it was you who suppressed us yesterday, wasn't it?"
Facing the Five Ghosts, whose ghostly aura was even more powerful than yesterday, Master Sanqing became extremely cautious and had already taken a defensive stance. "That's right, if you want to kill people, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven."
"Doing justice for the heavens?"
The five ghosts immediately started laughing, as if they had heard a joke. Their laughter was filled with endless irony. The echoing laughter was sinister and eerie, and it seemed particularly strange and creepy in the entire enclosed space.
The five ghosts began to surround Master Sanqing, and their accusations sounded like tears and complaints.
"What is Heaven's Way? Is it the creed you humans use to suppress us ghosts?"
"It was the Zhu family who broke the contract first, so why can't we retaliate? We've given them wealth and prosperity for so many years. We didn't ask them to do anything harmful, we just wanted them to do good deeds and help us accumulate merit. They can't even do such a simple thing, so why can't we take back everything we gave them?"
"You old Taoist priest, you are indiscriminate and help those rich and unkind people. You are not a good person either."
Soon, the five ghosts began to attack Master Sanqing directly.
Master Sanqing did not dare to delay at all. He immediately took out the talisman and threw it at the five ghosts. Then he took out the peach wood sword and started fighting with the five ghosts.
He did have some skills, and if it was just one or two of the Five Ghosts, he might be able to fight them to a draw. However, now that the Five Ghosts were fighting together, coupled with the fact that they had been suppressed yesterday, their resentment was even deeper, their ghostly energy was even stronger, and their strength had greatly increased.
Not long after, Master Sanqing was injured by one of the ghosts and crashed directly into the wall, then spit out blood.
Seeing the injured Master Sanqing, the five ghosts showed no mercy and rushed forward, intending to seize the opportunity to pursue him. They wanted to devour the other party's soul directly.
Originally, living souls were a great tonic for ghosts like them, and Master Sanqing was a cultivator. If they could devour Master Sanqing's soul, then the five of them would be able to greatly increase their strength, and perhaps even become ghost cultivators.
At that time, they would no longer need to think of any method to open up their reincarnation path. They could become ghost cultivators and exist in this world for a long time through cultivation.
Thinking of this, the greed on the five ghosts' faces became even more obvious.
