Chapter 801: I, the Malevolent Spirit
Chapter 801: I, the Malevolent Spirit
The arrival of the malevolent spirits in the capital sent shivers down the spines of its residents.
Even those who had been previously immobilized by the bells of the Fate Order and had lost their senses regained consciousness at this moment.
Upon hearing the commotion of the malevolent spirits leading the ghost army into the city and sensing the chaos spreading within, they were all terrified. Each person fled in different directions, shutting their doors tightly. From time to time, they heard the sound of rustling clothes outside, mixed with eerie laughter and cries.
They feared that someone would come and break down their doors at any moment, but after waiting for a long time, there was no unusual disturbance. Instead, they felt that the various demonic energies in the capital were not causing trouble for the people but were all headed towards the Zhi Shou Pavilion.
"Where is the Master? Where did he go?"
"Who is the Young Master with? Quickly, ask someone, is the Young Master safe?"
At this moment, chaos had already erupted in the Wang Family's mansion. The Matriarch was in a state of extreme panic, frantically grabbing people around her to inquire. Upon learning the news of the malevolent spirits entering the city, she hurried to find the pillar of the Wang Family.
But after asking around, she received no news, which only increased her panic. She urgently asked, "Where is the Medicine Elder? Where is the Cauldron Elder? How come even they are nowhere to be found?"
The Wang Family had always been highly respected in the capital, considered living deities in the eyes of the commoners. Yet, in just one night, they had fallen to the point of calling out to heaven without a response.
After half a day of chaos, a servant who had run back cried out, "The Patriarch, the Young Master, and several government officials..."
"They followed the State Preceptor and left the city..."
"..."
The Matriarch of the Wang Family nearly collapsed upon hearing this news.
The blow she received at this moment was indescribable. Anger, despair, and misery flashed across her face, but in a moment of reflection, she decided to suppress this news.
Forgetting her resentment towards the Patriarch for abandoning his other sons and daughters, she hurriedly called upon all the remaining capable people in the mansion to guard their home.
She was well aware that the malevolent spirits might not target others, but how could they possibly overlook the Wang Family? However, despite her relatively quick reaction and the limited number of available servants, the only person she could rely on was the Grand Master of the Grass Heart Hall, Zeng Baicao.
He had been heartbroken and unwilling to witness his daughter being captured, so he did not follow them. At this moment, he had only borrowed a coffin, placed his daughter's body inside, and stood by, feeling dejected and heartbroken.
The Matriarch called out to him several times, but seeing no response, she could only do her best to command the others. They frantically carried out several bronze cauldrons and placed them in various parts of the courtyard, while several servants vigorously fanned the air.
The thick medicinal smoke billowed out, lingering without dispersing, as if it were a tangible object, covering the entire mansion.
Some servants hurriedly tied red threads around the courtyard, hanging them with silver bells. If one accidentally pulled on these bell pulls, their fates would become chaotic, and their living souls would be left beside the bells, forgetting how to move, trapping them in place.
As they busied themselves inside the mansion, outside the black gate, they heard more and more laughter.
From time to time, someone would appear outside the mansion, and occasionally, eyes would peer through the door cracks, looking inside.
Inside, only the Matriarch pretended to remain calm, while the others were already in a state of panic.
The servants fanned the medicinal smoke with increasing force, hoping to suffocate the malevolent spirits outside. However, contrary to their expectations, the disturbance outside intensified, and for a while, no one dared to truly charge into the mansion, which only added to their anxiety.
"They're here, they're here..."
Until the servants guarding the gate heard the laughter of the malevolent spirits suddenly stop, and they all shouted, their spirits lifting as they raised the sticks in their hands high.
"Huff!"
In the next moment, the lingering smoke in the courtyard suddenly rolled outwards, as if a giant monster was sucking in the dense clouds like a whale gulping water.
Not only did the smoke in the courtyard dissipate, but the smoke in the bronze cauldrons being fanned by the servants also vanished instantly, and the embers dimmed.
Immediately, the servants felt a chill down their spines, and they widened their eyes, looking to the side. They saw that all the silver bells hanging on the rows of red threads suddenly rang out simultaneously. Then, as if grasped by invisible hands, the bells deflated one by one.
In a moment, the two protective measures were simultaneously breached, and everyone in the courtyard felt as if their necks were being choked.
No one dared to make a sound.
Creak!
The tightly shut gate was slowly pushed open by a pale hand.
The door of the physician's house was usually left unlocked.
Although the Wang Family had become nobles, they still adhered to this ancient custom.
However, this was the Wang Family's main entrance, not just anyone was qualified to open it. Yet, at this moment, the two doors opened with ease, all the way to their maximum extent. The Wang Family servants standing guard with raised sticks beside the door froze in their places.
Outside the pitch-black gate, a tall and slender woman with a cold expression stood. She entered the mansion with a chilling gaze.
It was the White Wine Miss, and she had transformed back into her human form, changing into a new set of clothes before doing so.
As she stepped over the threshold, all the lights in the courtyard flickered simultaneously.
Tall and slender, with a cold aura, she seemed slightly frail. But behind her, a figure with a robust aura and a nonchalant expression followed, casting a strange and eerie shadow.
The moment they appeared, the entire Wang Family Mansion was startled, unconsciously retreating, not daring to look directly at their faces. Their bodies trembled like chaff.
At the coffin, Zhan Baicao, the young master of Cao Xin Hall, stood beside his daughter's body. His body trembled as he saw the white figure walking in from outside the main gate. He turned weakly, glancing at his daughter's identical corpse inside the coffin.
He could tell which one was his daughter, as if all the bones in his body had suddenly turned to jelly. He quivered and said to the White Wine Miss, "Young Miss, you..."
"Mr. Zeng, don't mistake her for your daughter. Your daughter is lying in the coffin."
The White Wine Miss spoke in a cold voice, then averted her gaze, scanning the courtyard. Her voice was calm as she said, "I've come to hold the Wang Family accountable."
"You..."
It was only then that the Wang Family Matriarch mustered the courage to shout, "You, a disciple of Cao Xin Hall, how dare you say that you want to hold the Wang Family accountable?"
The White Wine Miss gave the Matriarch a cold look and replied, "I am a malevolent spirit!"
"What's there to be afraid of?"
"..."
All the questions, anxiety, and struggles were cut short by this statement.
The Wang Family's medicine servant also sensed something amiss and struggled desperately, but the situation was sudden, and they were unprepared.
Moreover, the Fate Order was not skilled in close combat, let alone the fact that those with real abilities, including the main perpetrators, had already followed the State Preceptor. Among those left, the most capable was Zhan Baicao, who might not even be a match for his daughter. In an instant, the Wang Family members were subdued.
The White Wine Miss ignored the chaos in the mansion and strode forward. She passed through two courtyards, venturing deeper, until she reached a secluded and shadowy area at the back. The medicine chamber was now sealed with layers of tape, making it appear mysterious and bizarre.
She took a deep breath and exhaled, blowing away the seals on the chamber.
The wooden door creaked open, and countless faces peered in from behind. They saw the contents of the medicine chamber—a massive flesh and blood elixir furnace, and beside it, a purple aura drifting in and out.
Instantly, countless faces changed.
Not everyone was from the Fate Order, but they all sensed the malevolence of the object.
At that moment, the White Wine Miss also heaved a low sigh, her voice trembling slightly, "This elixir furnace is the foundation of the Imperial Capital. Everyone in the capital is connected to it, even those four reincarnates..."
"Were also refined by this furnace."
"..."
After a long silence, someone dared to ask in a low voice, "Then what is this thing?"
"If my guess is correct, there should be a Bloodstone Mine beneath it."
The White Wine Miss glanced at the crowd and said softly, "The Purple Centipede Bloodstone Mine."
"But this Bloodstone Mine is different from others. Those mines are dead."
"This Bloodstone Mine is actually alive."
"Beneath it lies something we may have never seen before, something that can change us."
"Into beings with our memories, thoughts, and innate spirit temples, yet controlled by others in an intangible way."
"Like being reborn from the furnace."
"..."
"..."
"Is it related to the Celestial Year God?"
At the Hu Family Mansion, Hu Ma heard Erguotou's words and was slightly startled.
Erguotou nodded seriously, his expression grave. "The Hu Family's Year Protection Scroll actually hides the Pacifying Heavenly Stem Technique."
Hu Ma was momentarily surprised and said, "Then what about the first generation's sacrifice you mentioned?"
Erguotou sighed slowly, "If my guess is correct, the first generation's sacrifice and the death of the Hu Family ghost walker may not be part of the first Great Cleansing. The real truth is that they joined forces and perished together with some kind of malevolent creature."
"This is the true secret that the Dalaofa Religion has been hiding."
"..."
Although Erguotou's words were just a guess, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel excited.
"If there's evidence of such a thing..."
"..."
"There is."
Just then, someone outside the door continued the conversation. Elder Abacus appeared in the hall, looking different from any other time. His gaze towards Hu Ma held both reverence and sighs.
After speaking, he hesitated slightly, then respectfully lifted his long robe and knelt before Hu Ma. He bowed solemnly and said, "The Founding Master said that you are the chief priest of the Dalaofa Religion, so you should be informed of everything."
