Boom! The two forces collided, creating powerful waves.
"You…!" Hentian roared in fury, "Venerable One, what do you mean by this?"
"What's wrong with me?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked innocently.
“Venerable One, why did you stop me? I saw that the ghost was shrouded in black aura, its spirit body black with purple tinges. It must have been a very wicked person in life. You are a dignified Venerable One, a model of the righteous path. Your actions have truly chilled the hearts of your fellow practitioners.”
Evil spirits can be classified as demons that must be eliminated. They committed many evils in life and still do not repent after death. If these demons are not eliminated, it will be difficult to quell the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people.
Ji Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. This person was eloquent and quick-witted, seizing every opportunity to gossip about her.
"Hate Heaven, you're too impatient. What tricks can any wronged spirit or vengeful ghost play in front of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts?" Ji Xiaoxiao winked at the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts, who understood immediately. She murmured a few words, and the Immortal Binding Rope automatically untied itself.
The binding rope was untied, revealing the full face of the evil spirit. The evil spirit was old and decrepit, lifeless, and the stench of blood was strong and pungent.
"How many people did this evil spirit kill in its previous life? Its soul glows with a bloody red light; it was a 'Thread of Connection' personally punished by Heaven."
"【A single thread connects us】, a single thread connects us for a thousand lifetimes, a thousand lifetimes as pigs or dogs, almost eternally falling into the animal realm. I have only read about this in ancient books, and this is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes."
"That evil spirit has probably killed hundreds of thousands of people."
The sound of inhaling aloud rang out in unison. This evil spirit, who had been human in life, had slaughtered 100,000 of his own kind, revealing his vicious nature. Even most of the demonic cultivators could hardly match him.
Some compassionate practitioners began reciting the Rebirth Sutra.
"Hey." The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts kicked the seemingly terrified evil spirit, "Reincarnate."
The evil spirit came to its senses and cried out mournfully, "Ancestor!"
This cry of "Ancestor" is clearly Nie Zhen calling out to Hentian.
Hentian frowned, his eyes darting around, seemingly plotting something.
Qinghe said loudly, "This evil spirit was named Nie Zhen in his previous life. He was the patriarch of the Nie family and a blood relative of Hentian."
"Ancestor, save me! Ancestor, save me!"
Nie Zhen's reaction indirectly confirmed Qing He's words.
"No need to beg him anymore. If it weren't for the Venerable One's intervention, you would have been annihilated just now." The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts smiled seductively, casually sowing discord between Nie Zhen and Hentian.
Nie Zhen shuddered, deeply agreeing.
"If you wish to be reincarnated, you can only rely on us now," said the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
After much deliberation, Nie Zhen suddenly realized what was happening. He knelt down and spoke frankly and without reservation.
"Furthermore, Hentian also personally killed some people, including ordinary humans and cultivators. It seems to have been a hundred years ago when my house was haunted and my home was in turmoil. I remember it very clearly. At that time, Hentian was very angry, and it seemed that he was seriously injured. He cursed Master Jingyun and a lousy old man named Mintian viciously."
Now that things have come to this, most people are pointing the finger at Hentian.
"Hentian, did you kill Mintian?"
"Hentian, say something!"
The person who questioned Hentian was the Supreme Elder of the Litian Dao Palace.
Hentian remained silent.
Why aren't you saying anything?
"Why? Why else? Because he has nothing to say." Ji Xiaoxiao said, "I know that you still have doubts in your hearts, doubts that I went to great lengths to frame Hentian, regardless of the cost."
Ji Xiaoxiao's words struck a chord with everyone.
Isn't that so? You people from Longyou Manor can't stand that our Litian Dao Palace has finally produced a Venerable One, so you use all sorts of methods to smear Hentian and incite the people of the world to rise up against him, while you sit back and reap the benefits, remaining noble Venerable Ones for a long time.
Ji Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, opened up her own wounds, and asked, "If I told you that I was also one of the victims, would you believe me?"
What's the meaning?
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't explain, but looked at Nie Zhen, "Nie Zhen, do you still remember me?"
Nie Zhen looked in the direction of the sound and stared at Ji Xiaoxiao for a long time with audacity.
"You are...you are Lou Yu!" Nie Zhen exclaimed in horror, "Didn't those two good-for-nothings, Jingyun and Huaikong, get rid of you?"
"I'm standing right here!"
Ji Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a smile. Nie Zhen felt as if he had been swallowed whole by a wild beast. Darkness enveloped him, and stomach acid slowly corroded and digested his body. He could not scream, he could not run away, and he could only quietly wait for death.
“I was just an ordinary farmer’s daughter. On the eve of my wedding, Nie Zhen…” Ji Xiaoxiao recounted the original owner’s difficult life story in detail.
Nie Zhen covered his head and secretly glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao, his expression crazed.
The crowd was skeptical. What they didn't believe was that the Venerable One before them was really an ordinary woman, a vengeful ghost who died unjustly, a hundred years ago.
Ji Xiaoxiao took out an object and threw it at the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Palace.
"This was given to me by Master Jingyun before he died."
The Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Dao Palace reached out and grabbed the jade pendant in his palm. He slowly lowered his hand, stroking the pendant with his fingers, repeatedly confirming that it was indeed made by Min Tian and belonged to his junior disciple, Jing Yun.
"Is it really true?"
Kaitian nodded solemnly, "Not only that, there is also a video inside, which should have been recorded by Jingyun in an emergency before she died."
Kaitian used a secret method to break the seal on the jade pendant. The jade pendant floated into the sky, shining brightly and spreading outwards. It then gradually converged into a beam of light as wide as a person. Within the beam of light appeared a person, who was none other than the Taoist Master Jingyun, who had been dead for a hundred years.
In the video, Master Jingyun was pale, slumped on the ground, his hair disheveled, looking extremely disheveled. Anyone with eyes could see that this was a sign of his spiritual energy being exhausted.
