Chapter 303 Going Back on One's Word
The Zhu family members cried out in grief, but Zhong Nianyao remained indifferent. She looked at Zhu Yu and shook her head gently, "It's too late now."
If Zhu Yu had been willing to do as she said at the beginning and spend all his wealth on charity and accumulating merit for the Five Ghosts, then the Zhu family would still have a chance of survival.
But Zhu Yu refused and even sent someone to capture the five ghosts. Now a deadly relationship has formed between them.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao's ruthless rejection, Zhu Yu felt completely disheartened and the despair on his face was clearly visible.
Zhong Nianyao's behavior of not favoring the Zhu family made the Five Ghosts feel relieved. However, they did not let down their guard against Zhong Nianyao.
They were ghosts, and they had a natural hostility towards the Heavenly Master. Especially since they couldn't see through the strength of the two people in front of them, they were even more apprehensive.
The rest of the Zhu family were also terrified and on the verge of tears. Many of them were still young and absolutely did not want to die. Even if it meant living in poverty, they absolutely did not want to die.
Seeing that Zhong Nian Yao really had no intention of helping, the five ghosts did not hide and directly attacked the people of the Zhu family.
In just a moment, the Zhu family was filled with wailing. Although no one was in danger of death, everyone in the Zhu family was injured to varying degrees.
Zhu Yu could do nothing but watch it all happen. He didn't even have the courage to step forward to stop it, because he was afraid that the five ghosts would turn their attention to him.
Looking at Zhu Yu's cowardly look, a cold gleam flashed in Zhong Nian Yao's eyes.
After seeing the situation in the living room, Master Sanqing wanted to get up and save the people, but he found that he was as if frozen in place and could not move at all.
After a moment's thought, he knew it was either Zhong Nianyao or Lu Yichen who had done this. He looked at them with pleading eyes, hoping they would untie him. But they didn't even glance at him.
Originally, the five ghosts were teasing the Zhu family members like a cat playing with a mouse, enjoying the sight of them running around in panic, and then they let out sinister smiles, filling the entire living room with a terrifying atmosphere.
Finally, the five ghosts had enough fun and decided to take action. They first attacked Zhu Yu, who was hiding on the side.
Zhu Yu is the culprit, so naturally he is the first target they want to attack.
The Wealth Ghost bared its fangs and claws, stretched out its ghostly hand filled with black energy, and stretched it directly towards Zhu Yu's chest. Looking at his appearance, it seemed as if he wanted to dig out Zhu Yu's heart directly.
Looking at the ghost hand attacking him, Zhu Yu closed his eyes directly. He knew that he could not escape.
However, to his surprise, the imagined pain never subsided. He mustered up his courage and tentatively opened his eyes, only to see the ghost hand so close to him. He screamed in fear.
"Shut up, you're making so much noise." Zhong Nian Yao shouted at Zhu Yu directly, with impatience in her tone.
Zhu Yu only then realized that the ghost hand hadn't been able to dig out his heart because a small, white, tender hand was now tightly grasping the ghost hand. The ghost hand could no longer move forward and could only stay there.
Zhong Nianyao's cold expression at the moment, compared to the fierce appearance of the money ghost, made him feel even more terrified. He didn't even feel any relief at having survived the disaster, but instead felt even more panicked.
"You go back on your word?" Cai Gui's face became ferocious, and even when he looked at Zhong Nian Yao, the murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
"I didn't go back on my word."
In stark contrast to the Wealth Ghost, Zhong Nianyao appeared much calmer. She shook her head, "I only said that your backlash was not wrong and was in accordance with the laws of nature. However, from the beginning to the end, I never said that I would watch you kill someone in front of me."
"The Zhu family members did deserve to die, but not at your hands. If you kill them, you will be burdened with so many lives and sins, and you won't have a good ending."
"You hypocritical bitch." The official ghost angrily cursed, "I thought you were different from the other Heavenly Masters, but I didn't expect you were all the same. You only protect the interests of the living and ignore us ghosts."
"ah--"
Just as he finished speaking, a fierce black energy rushed directly towards the official ghost.
The official ghost was caught off guard and had no way to dodge, so he was hit directly. The ghost energy on his body suddenly weakened a lot, and even his soul began to show signs of collapse.
The other four ghosts were startled and immediately attacked Lu Yichen who was standing there. Because they could tell that the person who had just attacked the official ghost was Lu Yichen.
However, they had underestimated Lu Yichen's strength. Before they even got close, the other four ghosts were injured.
The five ghosts who were originally so vigorous and high-spirited were all like deflated balls, and their souls were in danger of collapse.
When they looked at Lu Yichen, they no longer had the ferocity they had just shown, and their faces were filled with unconcealable fear.
After planning to kill all the members of the Zhu family, they never thought they could escape the punishment of heaven. However, even though they were truly prepared to be annihilated, when they really faced it, they still couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.
Especially when they saw that those people from the Zhu family were still alive and well, they hated them even more.
The ghost energy that had originally dissipated also gathered again vaguely.
"not good!"
Seeing this, Zhong Nianyao cried out in surprise. Immediately, she bit her finger, drew a talisman in the air, and shouted, "Go!"
The talisman drawn out of the void with golden light flew directly towards the five ghosts and then hit them directly.
The five ghosts were very alert, and they were even prepared for a head-on confrontation.
What they never expected was that when the talisman fell on them, not only did they not feel any pain, but they felt as if they were surrounded by a warm current and had a very comfortable feeling.
Since becoming ghosts, their only feeling had been coldness. Now they felt the long-lost warmth, a warmth that enveloped them, making them feel as if they were still alive. This made them feel a little nostalgic and greedy, wanting to immerse themselves in this warmth forever.
