Chapter 335 True Face
Zhong Nianyao nodded. "If you want to become a corpse king, you must sever your family ties. If you want to get rid of that Zixiao Zhenren, you must let Ling Chao kill his biological parents."
They couldn't just watch Ling Chao kill two more people.
Ling's father and mother were originally immersed in grief, but after hearing Zhong Nian Yao's words, they immediately came to their senses and seemed extremely nervous and frightened.
"Ms. Zhong," Ling's father said with some difficulty, "You mean, Xiao Chao...he will kill us."
Ling's mother also looked at Zhong Nian Yao nervously. She opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
"According to that True Man Zixiao's plan, Ling Chao was going to kill you all." Zhong Nianyao spoke calmly, her tone lacking any significant fluctuations. "Only in this way can Ling Chao become a true Corpse King and unleash his greatest destructive power."
Ling's father and mother exchanged glances, each seeing fear in the other's eyes. Even though Ling Chao was still their son, they were still filled with fear of him.
After a long while, Father Ling looked at Zhong Nianyao and spoke again with some difficulty, "Miss Zhong, we—we would like to ask you for a favor."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Although she knew what was going on, Zhong Nianyao didn't expose it directly. Instead, she smiled and said, "You guys tell me first, and I'll decide."
Both Ling's father and mother hesitated and no one spoke first.
At this moment, they wanted help only for Ling Chao's matter. If Ling Chao would not harm them, they would definitely still want to protect their son. However, now that they knew they were Ling Chao's target, they could no longer remain calm.
However, neither of them wanted to speak up first, as if whoever did so would be reproached by their conscience.
Looking at the expressions of Ling's father and mother, Zhong Nianyao felt only irony. "It seems that you can't bring yourself to say it! Then give you some time to think it over. When you have figured it out, come back to me!"
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Ling's father and mother also became anxious.
They were now on edge, fearing that Ling Chao would go crazy and tear them apart in the next second. Now that they saw Zhong Nianyao seemed to be leaving because of displeasure, they were naturally worried.
"Miss Zhong, please help us resolve Ling Chao's issue!" Ling's father spoke directly, but then seemed to think this was too cold-blooded and continued, "We really can't bear to see him live like this, half-human, half-ghost."
"You say it in a high-sounding way." The sarcasm on Zhong Nianyao's face was clear. "If you're afraid of death, just say it directly. There's no need to use such a fig leaf. Others will know what's going on at a glance."
"Speaking of which, Ling Chao has become like this, and I really have you, my parents, to thank. He originally had a chance to be reborn, but now he's been tortured to the point where he's almost turned to ashes."
These words made Ling's father and mother's faces turn purple and blue. They were already very upset, and now Zhong Nianyao wanted to rub salt into their wounds.
However, no matter how much they were dissatisfied with Zhong Nianyao, they did not dare to refute her because they knew in their hearts that the only person who could save them now was Zhong Nianyao.
"Let's talk about Ling Chao later."
Zhong Nianyao's sharp gaze fell on Ling's father and mother. "How much do you know about that Zixiao Zhenren? Tell us everything about him."
This so-called Zixiao Zhenren must have been eyeing Ling Chao for a long time. He was looking for those who had committed heinous crimes and were being retaliated by evil spirits, and their birth dates had to be compatible, which wasn't easy to do. This must have been a long-planned move.
If Ling Chao fails this time, he will definitely look for the right person again. By then, there will probably be more victims.
Using a living person to refine a corpse is unacceptable. If he really becomes a corpse king, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Father Ling tried hard to recall the past before speaking, "At that time, we were desperate and couldn't find anyone to help us. That's when Master Zixiao came to our house. We didn't trust him at first. But then he told us everything about our family situation. He even said he didn't want any reward, so we finally believed him."
"That Zixiao Zhenren looks like an immortal." Ling's mother's tone was filled with regret and resentment. "Who would have thought that he would be such a liar!"
Moreover, what he cheated was not money, but their son's life.
"What does he look like?" Zhong Nianyao pressed. "Think carefully, is there anything special about his appearance?"
After thinking about it carefully, Ling's father and mother shook their heads.
"Let me explore their memories directly!" Lu Yichen said directly.
Zhong Nianyao also thought this was a good idea, so she nodded.
"Don't resist at all, otherwise if there are serious consequences and you become a fool or something like that, don't blame us."
Zhong Nianyao spoke up directly to remind him.
Originally they didn't know what was going on, but after hearing what Zhong Nian Yao said, Ling's father and mother couldn't help but become nervous.
"that--"
"If you don't want to cooperate now, that's fine too." Zhong Nianyao's lips curled up into a bright smile, but her words were ruthless. "Then I will directly notify the relevant special departments to handle it. However, by then, they may not be so gentle."
Ling's father and mother no longer dared to express any opinions.
After a moment, Lu Yichen frowned and withdrew his hand that was originally raised in the air. The expression on his face was very unexpected, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
"What happened?" Zhong Nianyao asked, "Did you see the true face of Master Zixiao?"
"No," Lu Yichen shook his head and said bluntly, "He used a trick. The appearance they remember is not his true appearance at all."
"Then let's start with Ling Chao!" Zhong Nianyao shook her head helplessly, "Hoping to find some clues on him. However, the chances are still slim."
After all, he had used a trick even when he met Ling's father and mother, so there would be no trace left on Ling Chao.
I have to say that Master Zixiao is really cautious!
