Chapter 518 Internal strife
On the other side——
It was completely different from the situation just now. Zhong Nianyao, who was entangled by hundreds of ghosts and the Ghost King, did not fall into trouble, but was at ease.
She raised her hand slightly, and a golden light flashed. The ghost that was closer to her turned into ashes before she could even make any screams.
Looking at so many ghosts, a trace of disgust flashed in Zhong Nianyao's eyes, and then she shot a ray of golden light directly at the soul-calling banner floating in the air.
"Bang!" A loud noise was heard, and the soul-summoning banner was blown into pieces.
As the soul-summoning banner shattered, the ghosts and monsters that were originally contained in the banner let out a scream and then all turned to ashes, leaving no trace.
The Soul Summoning Banner was Master Zeng's magical weapon, crafted with great care and effort. It could almost be said to be in tune with his mind. When the Soul Summoning Banner shattered, he naturally suffered a severe backlash, stumbling twice and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Master Zeng, are you okay?"
Seeing Master Zeng vomiting blood, Meng Rou's face was full of anxiety.
It wasn't because she cared about Master Zeng that much, but because they were now in the same boat. Most importantly, she was just an ordinary person and could not compete with Zhong Nianyao at all.
If she treated Zhong Nianyao like this, she would definitely not let her go. If Master Zeng really had any mishap today, she would probably not be able to survive.
"Shut up." Master Zeng covered his chest and looked up at Meng Rou with a cold look in his eyes. "What's going on with Zhong Nianyao? Why didn't you tell me she was so powerful?"
It was clear that Zhong Nianyao didn't have such strength at the beginning. However, now her strength suddenly increased, leaving him with no power to fight back. If he had known that Zhong Nianyao had such strength, he would never have tried to fight against her with a futile effort.
"I...I don't know either!"
Facing such a cold gaze, Meng Rou was frightened and stammered when she spoke, "If I...if I knew..."
If she had known how powerful Zhong Nianyao was, she would not have dared to confront her directly even if she had a big order! She didn't want to die. She was still young and had a long way to go in the future.
"You bitch."
Master Zeng slapped Meng Rou hard in the face. "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today. I'm telling you, if I can't survive today, I'll definitely drag you down with me to be buried with me."
He continued to kill Meng Rou for the time being, not because he felt sorry for her, but because he wanted to keep her alive so that he could have a shield if something happened later.
While the two were fighting here, Zhong Nian Yao had already destroyed the Ghost King.
Now, there are only Zhong Nianyao, Master Zeng, and Meng Rou left in the room.
Zhong Nianyao walked slowly towards the two of them, and the sound of her footsteps made Master Zeng and Meng Rou's hearts tremble.
"Zhong Nianyao, what...what do you want to do?" Meng Rou said with a trembling voice, "I'm telling you, if you kill me, Lu Yilei will not let you go."
"Do you think I care?" Zhong Nianyao sneered, "Also, are you scared? Didn't you lead me here? If so, what are you afraid of? Isn't this what you want?"
"No, no, I didn't mean to."
Looking at Zhong Nianyao in front of her, a chill surged from the soles of her feet. No matter how hard Meng Rou tried, she couldn't control the fear in her heart, "I just... just..."
"You just want to kill me," Zhong Nianyao said directly. "Are you afraid that I will expose what you did in the past, or that you used the methods on Lu Yilei, or that you are afraid that I will reveal that there is no child in your belly, only this half-human, half-ghost thing?"
Every word and every sentence was like a knife stabbing directly into Meng Rou's heart, making her feel waves of pain and endless fear at the same time.
"You...you...how did you know?"
"Haha, this thing in your belly must have been helped by this so-called Master Zeng!" Zhong Nianyao's eyes fell on Meng Rou's belly. "Do you really think he would be so kind as to help you conceive a child?"
"I've always asserted that you'll never be able to have children again in your lifetime. Besides your physical condition, this is also very important because it's the retribution for the sins you've committed. It's sent down by heaven and is absolutely impossible to reverse."
"Zhong Nianyao, what do you mean?"
An ominous premonition rose in Meng Rou's heart, "If I'm not pregnant, then what is in my belly?"
"Then you'll have to ask Master Zeng." Zhong Nianyao looked at Master Zeng, who seemed to be ready to run away at any moment, with a half-smile, and continued, "Ask him what he put in your stomach! The moment this thing comes out will probably be the moment you die!"
Meng Rou really wanted to scold Zhong Nian Yao for talking nonsense, but there was a vague thought in her mind that what Zhong Nian Yao said was true, and the thing in her belly really was a half-human, half-ghost thing.
Thinking of this, she turned her head and looked at Master Zeng beside her, "Master Zeng, is what she said true? What is in my stomach?"
"Are you questioning me?"
Facing Meng Rou's questioning, Master Zeng narrowed his eyes, his tone filled with endless coldness. "Do you think you have the ability and qualifications to question me? I think you think your life is too long."
He was indeed afraid of Zhong Nianyao, but he was not afraid of Meng Rou. She was just an ordinary person, yet she had the guts to interrogate him.
Even if he was no match for Zhong Nian Yao, it was not an excuse for Meng Rou to offend him at will.
Feeling the chill and murderous intent emanating from Master Zeng, Meng Rou, who had been a little agitated, now completely sobered up. "I... I didn't. Master Zeng, I really didn't doubt you. I just... just..."
Master Zeng ignored Meng Rou and only looked at Zhong Nianyao. "Little girl, we originally had no hatred or grudges against each other. It was only because of Meng Rou's instigation that we came into conflict. So, we haven't reached the point of a life-and-death struggle at all!"
