Chapter 78 Today, I will use my own body to dispel evil spirits and sever kinship ties.
She looked around at the group of "family" who were connected to her by blood.
The voice remained calm, yet every word struck the hearts of everyone in the Shen family with clarity: "Please...stop being so self-satisfied."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chairman Shen and his wife were stunned and stared blankly at Shen Yuepo.
"Upon first entering the Shen family," Shen Yuepo's gaze fell on Chairman Shen and Madam Shen's faces.
“I once thought that the guilt and desire to make amends in your eyes were genuine. So, I gave you amulets as a token of my gratitude. That was the only kindness I could offer at the time.”
She paused slightly: "Although I don't often go down the mountain, I'm not stupid. I can still distinguish between the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, and between truth and falsehood."
“Chairman Shen, Mrs. Shen,” she addressed these two cold titles, “you both claim to owe me something, and you both claim to give me a home.”
"But your actions, your gaze, every decision you make, every choice you make..."
She shook her head slightly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible weariness for the first time:
"I can't feel the slightest bit of warmth that belongs to a home, let alone the so-called...family affection."
Her gaze swept over Shen Wangchuan and Shen Yichuan. "As for these two nominal brothers, let's not mention them."
Shen Yuepo's gaze returned to Chairman Shen's face. His clear, cold eyes shone astonishingly brightly in the moonlight, yet were also chilling to the bone.
"I believe I have done everything I could for the Shen family."
"Tonight," her voice suddenly rose, as if declaring to the heavens and earth, "whether you agree or not, whatever the price may be, even..."
She paused slightly, looked up at the night sky, which appeared particularly gloomy under the shroud of malevolent energy, and said, word by word:
“I will sever this ill-fated relationship even if it goes against the will of Heaven.”
The words "ill-fated relationship" struck the hearts of everyone in the Shen family like a thunderbolt.
Chairman Shen was struck dumb, staggering back a step, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Looking at the resolute girl in the moonlight, he realized for the first time with crystal clarity that he had never truly understood this daughter.
"No! Moon Spirit! Mother begs you! No!" Madam Shen cried out, tears streaming down her face.
She staggered and tried to rush over to grab Shen Yuepo, but Shen Yuepo dodged her.
Shen Yichuan's eyes were bloodshot. He took a sudden step forward, his tall figure blocking Shen Yuepo's path.
He looked into Shen Yuepo's calm eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, and for the first time spoke in an almost pleading tone:
"Moon Spirit, wait... I beg you, please don't do this. Before... I was wrong! I... I'm sorry..."
The three words, "I'm sorry," were incredibly heavy, almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
This was the limit for the proud Shen Yichuan.
However, Shen Yuepo's gaze didn't even linger on his face for a second.
She seemed not to hear Madam Shen's cries and pleas, nor to see Shen Yichuan's obstruction.
"Get out of the way."
Before Shen Yichuan could say anything more, Shen Yuepo raised his hand and casually gave him a push on the shoulder.
Shen Yichuan staggered back several steps uncontrollably before Shen Wangchuan managed to catch him.
He stared in shock at Shen Yuepo's seemingly slender back.
However, Shen Yuepo had already stepped over the scattered ashes of talismans and the remains of magical artifacts, heading towards the center of the evil eye.
The white jade bracelet on her wrist began to emit a flowing light as she walked, forcing back some of the surrounding malevolent aura.
Under the desperate gazes of the Shen family and the astonished stares of the three masters, Shen Yuepo walked to the center of the evil eye.
She stood still, slowly raised her hands, and formed a mudra, her fingertips shimmering with a faint golden light.
A clear, cold voice echoed in the night sky:
"Today, I will use my own body to vanquish evil spirits and sever kinship ties! By imperial decree!"
The moment she finished speaking, her eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she pressed her hands down sharply in a mudra.
"boom!"
A surge of spiritual power, far more powerful than the combined might of the three masters, burst forth like a flood, crashing into the demonic eye beneath their feet.
In an instant, the entire Shen family mansion shook violently.
The malevolent energy in the backyard, more than ten times stronger than before, roared wildly and surged into the sky like an ancient ferocious beast that had been completely enraged.
These malevolent energies surged and lunged fiercely at the central Moon Soul, ready to devour it.
Shen Yuepo's spiritual power surged, forming a light shield that repelled the incoming malevolent energy.
However, just as Shen Yuepo's spiritual power penetrated deep into the earth, attempting to forcibly tear apart the foundation of the feng shui formation, a cold and sinister force suddenly rebounded.
This power is very strange; it is not simply a yin energy, but a power that carries strong binding and imprisonment.
Shen Yuepo let out a muffled groan, his face instantly turning several shades paler.
She could clearly feel her spiritual power being rapidly devoured by this mysterious force.
Just then, Feng Jin, who had been sleeping in the white jade bracelet on her wrist, was startled by this power.
A deep, authoritative voice resounded directly in Shen Yuepo's mind, tinged with surprise: "Soul-Locking Chains?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuepo was deeply shaken. No wonder Feng Jin couldn't sense the Soul-Locking Chains when he first came to the old house.
It turns out that it was concealed by the formation of gathering yin and locking evil.
And now, this ominous situation is frantically devouring her spiritual power through the power of the Soul-Locking Chains.
If this continues, not only will she be unable to break the deadlock, but her own spiritual power and even her very essence may be drained.
Shen Yuepo sighed softly, "That was hasty."
Then, without the slightest hesitation, she bit the tip of her right index finger and smeared it across the white jade bracelet on her left wrist.
He recited:
"With the Three Luminaries as our guide and the Five Elements as our guide, we borrow the power of the Emperor to punish evil and uphold justice. If we break our oath, we are willing to suffer the punishment of lightning!"
The moment the words "Thunder Punishment" were uttered, a faint rumble of thunder seemed to echo across the heavens and earth.
The moment Shen Yuepo finished speaking—
The blood-stained white jade bracelet on her wrist emitted an unprecedented light.
Amidst the light, a deep and authoritative voice echoed clearly throughout the backyard:
"allow!"
In an instant, a surge of powerful spiritual energy, carrying the purest Netherworld Emperor's might, poured into Shen Yuepo's depleted spiritual energy body.
This power was pure and yang, yet it carried a chilling majesty that ruled over the nine netherworlds, instantly dispelling the cold and corrosive feeling brought by the Soul-Locking Chains.
With the help of the Emperor's divine power, Shen Yuepo gritted her teeth, let out a clear shout, and changed her hand seals once again.
She guided the Emperor's power surging into her body, transforming it into a divine ray that pierced fiercely into the center of the churning evil eye beneath her feet.
"break!"
This time, it was no longer a futile collision. The divine light pierced straight into the ground and struck the Soul-Locking Chains, which exuded a cold and binding power.
"Crack! Crack!"
A cracking sound came from deep underground, as if some ancient shackles had been forcibly broken.
Shen Yuepo was in the eye of the storm, his body swaying violently like a candle in a gale, his face as pale as paper, and blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Forcibly wielding the divine power of an emperor far exceeding her own level, while also enduring the backlash of the Soul-Locking Chains, her body and soul were under unimaginable pressure.
"Moon Soul!" Seeing her daughter vomit blood, Madam Shen felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She could no longer care about her fear and screamed as she rushed over.
"Don't go over there!"
Shen Yichuan's eyes also reddened, and he was determined to step forward.
