Wu Chenxi's talisman took effect, gradually calming Yuan Tianjing down, though his face was still full of bitterness.
"I thought my parents were good to me because I was their biological son, but now it seems it was more out of guilt."
Some things shouldn't be thought about too deeply, and many loopholes appeared in Yuan Tianjing's mind.
Which parents don't hope their son will be ambitious? The Yuan family was not poor, but they never thought of letting him take the imperial examination.
When he was young, his teacher praised him many times. How did he end up indulging in play?
As parents, not only are they not in a hurry, but they also act as if they are letting things take their course, which is a big problem in itself.
No wonder he didn't put his name on his tombstone; it seems he was never considered a member of the Yuan family.
And where are his wife and children?
The fact that these questions remained unanswered caused Yuan Tianjing immense pain; he felt he was living in confusion and would not find peace even in death.
He had never even met the instigator, nor did he know what his enemy looked like. If it weren't for the two masters helping him investigate, he would have died in a completely daze.
Ke Yuan's family is even more despicable. He gave his all, but in other people's eyes he was just a clown.
Overwhelmed by his resentment, Yuan Tianjing broke through the spell, his malevolent aura growing stronger.
"Oh no, he's turning into a vengeful ghost." Wu Chenxi felt utterly helpless. "Yuan Tianjing, don't you want to seek justice for yourself?"
Yuan Tianjing said, "How can we seek justice? They have not even left behind any remains; they have long since been reincarnated somewhere."
Hua Xiangyun: "Who told you that? Stop right there."
Seeing that Yuan Tianjing ignored them and continued to gather the surrounding Yin energy, Hua Xiangyun said loudly, "I'm sorry for your kindness. We have already destroyed your soul and spirit, which is a form of revenge for you."
But Yuan family, are you just going to let them reincarnate while you continue to wander in this world?
"No, if my master and I join forces, we can obliterate your soul and annihilate you completely. You won't even have a trace left in this world. Are you really willing to accept that?"
Although Hua Xiangyun and her apprentice were trying to persuade him, they were fully prepared. If the other party really turned into a vengeful ghost, they would not let him leave the mountain under any circumstances.
"Then what do you suggest I do?" Yuan Tianjing asked in a sinister tone.
Hua Xiangyun said, "Wait a while longer. When Qingming Festival arrives, we will perform a ritual to send you to the Yellow Springs. Then you can go to King Yama to file a complaint yourself."
No matter how many lifetimes they are reborn, they will still have to repay what they owe you.
Otherwise, even if you become a vengeful ghost now, you'll only harm innocent people and won't truly avenge yourself. Are you content with that?
Yuan Tianjing was naturally unwilling, but when he thought of the culprit, he glared fiercely at the two master and disciple, "Why did you meddle in other people's business and kill that old thief Rong Na?"
That's too easy on him. How am I supposed to vent my anger?
Hua Xiangyun didn't expect that even a ghost could be so greedy. She sneered and said, "It's not that we, master and disciple, look down on you, but even if you become a vengeful ghost, are you confident that you can deal with Rongbao?"
That day, my master and I fought with all our might and used countless magical treasures to barely subdue him. Even so, my master was injured and had to rest for so long before I could come and resolve this matter with you.
If I hadn't helped you find out the reason, my master and I wouldn't have had to travel back and forth and lose so many magical treasures.
Just because we haven't mentioned this debt doesn't mean it didn't happen.
What are you trying to do now? Are you trying to kick me while I'm down? Don't forget, if it weren't for me and my apprentice, you'd still be a fool in the making.
Yuan Tianjing, "..."
"Don't think the whole world has wronged you. Think about how you've repaid the kindness of others throughout your life. How do you have the audacity to criticize us?"
Seeing the shame on his face, Hua Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief as he finally stopped gathering Yin energy around himself. She then continued, "Na Rong is not someone you can handle. He was originally the Imperial Preceptor, and his cultivation is far superior to that of my master and me."
After nearly a thousand years of cultivation, if it weren't for the sect's magical artifacts being able to restrain him, we wouldn't even be standing before you; we would have merely become his stepping stones.
"I'm sorry, but thank you both for your help," Yuan Tianjing said in a low voice. He had asked Hua Xiangyun for help in the first place, and she had really helped him a lot; otherwise, he would still be here in a daze.
After reassuring Yuan Tianjing, he agreed to wait until Qingming Festival before embarking on his journey to the underworld.
"You scared me to death!" Fang Qinghe saw the master and disciple coming out of the mountain and quickly followed.
"Luckily, Xiangyun told me not to go near that reservoir, otherwise my ghostly life might really be in danger." Fang Qinghe had also witnessed the power of a thousand-year-old ghost. The other party was just one step away from becoming a vengeful ghost. If small fry like them got too close, they might be captured and made into ghost slaves.
"So don't always think that I'm keeping you here because I'm doing it for your own good," Wu Chenxi said irritably. Although these souls were willing to stay by her side, they always wanted to run away when they had free time.
They didn't even consider that if they encountered someone from the Xuanmen sect, or a more powerful ghost than themselves, how could they possibly survive?
“I will never run around again,” Fang Qinghe was really scared this time. “When I get back, I will take them to stay at the end of the county and we will not go anywhere else.”
Wu Chenxi did not respond to her. These souls would forget what they said in a short time, and there was no point in arguing with them.
"You have a way to send him to the Yellow Springs?" Wu Chenxi hadn't dared to ask this question in front of Yuan Tianjing before, as he didn't know his little apprentice was so powerful that he could even connect to the Yellow Springs.
Hua Xiangyun shook her head, "I'm just trying to calm him down. With my current cultivation level, it's definitely not enough."
Wu Chenxi frowned. How could this child suddenly be so unreliable? She thought she had such great abilities. "Then why did you agree to him? If you don't keep your promise, he won't be easy to talk to."
"Don't worry, Master. From now on, I will work hard in my cultivation and strive to advance one more level before Qingming Festival."
I have a method to summon the Road to the Underworld, but I'm afraid I'll still need my master's help.
Wu Chenxi focused more on setting up formations, but his cultivation level remained high.
Since Hua Xiangyun is so confident, she can just lie on the sidelines and watch. If things really can't be resolved, she can simply take back the Yuantian Mirror.
The master and apprentice parted ways on the county road, and Hua Xiangyun quietly returned home, where everything was still peaceful.
She didn't intend to go to sleep; instead, she sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), repeatedly reviewing various incantations in her mind.
"Sigh, I still need to hurry up and learn more advanced talismans, but I've drawn too many these past few days, and this talisman brush seems to be getting a bit worn out..."
