Chapter 296: Chapter 174: Three Lifetimes of Mountain Ghosts’ Grudge

Two greedy-looking maidservants led a man and a woman out. The man’s gaze was dull, as if soulless, and this person was indeed Luo Huaisong’s foolish "son."

Gu Shanhai glanced at the other party and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. When he had seen him before, although he was not quite up to par in terms of Spiritual Intelligence, he was still lively, like a one or two-year-old child. But now upon meeting again, only a shell was left, one that could be manipulated at will.

Luo Huaisong also emerged from the rear residence, his expression dark and shadowy, looking like he had retained his own consciousness but seemed to be out of control.

Gu Nei Zhenren was nowhere to be found, perhaps dead somewhere.

Actually, Gu Shanhai understood that this was part of the ritual, especially after he had learned the truth through Yue Niang, becoming more certain of it.

"The homage to heaven and earth!" A sharp voice came again.

The chaos of the guests, the gloom of Luo Huaisong, the soulless groom, and the bride sobbing under the red veil created a bizarre scene.

"Wait, I do not agree with this marriage!" Gu Shanhai spoke out immediately.

In a matter of moments, a certain pressure fell upon him, which Gu Shanhai simply ignored, and then gradually stood up, speaking calmly, "What, does anyone have an objection?"

As he spoke, Gu Shanhai pulled out a heart and casually threw it on the table, his tone malicious, "I always like to deal heart-to-heart with people. If you have objections, speak up, don’t hide in the shadows."

The heart rolled off the table, and all fell silent.

Heavenly Immortal was naturally aware whose heart this was, aside from the Old Temple Priest who had played a deep mental game with Gu Shanhai, who else could it be that he had taken the heart from.

Although Gu Shanhai’s reasons for doing so were unclear, it was obviously intentional.

"Mr. Liang, today is a great day for my son, are you not giving me face?" Luo Huaisong slowly stood up, his voice like a symphony.

Gu Shanhai heard the voices of Fan Shi, Gu Nei Zhenren, Hu Mazi, Old Temple Priest, and others in his words.

"It was you who didn’t give me face first, last night we agreed to go moon-watching together, but look, I spent all night in the cold breeze without seeing you. It was clearly your fault, don’t blame me for being ruthless," Gu Shanhai made up an excuse and then ignited... the guests.

Indeed, it was the guests he ignited, these people had eaten Bear-man and had long been contaminated and assimilated by it, exploding into a bloody mess.

"You’re looking for death!" This time Luo Huaisong’s voice was even richer.

"If you’ve got the guts, hit me, dumbass!" Gu Shanhai provocatively fired off this phrase.

The commotion was quite loud. Yu Niang was shivering over there. The reason she wasn’t shivering severely was that shivering severely was currently prohibited.

Having said this, Gu Shanhai also set up a mental link with Heavenly Immortal and another person, "Don’t just stand there, hurry up and talk Yu Niang into leaving with you, otherwise I’ll have to fight two bosses."

As for using eye contact or signaling with his eyes, he was worried that if he transmitted this meaning, the two might misinterpret, which could be problematic.

Both seemed to have woken from a dream, especially Heavenly Immortal, who quickly pulled Yu Niang away and began to sweet-talk, "Yu Niang, come with us..."

While the two were pulling Yu Niang along and chatting, Gu Shanhai swiftly drew the Azure Dragon, his expression solemn as he looked at Luo Huaisong.

At this moment, the other party was still in human form, but was no longer human.

"The evil in human hearts can subdue immortals and gods; karma retribution always comes in time," Gu Shanhai said, looking at the other.

"Die, everyone in Qingxian Town must die!" A sharp female voice gradually became clear.

"I know, but they are already dead. The one who hasn’t let go is you, Black Tiger has been waiting for you in Fengtai Village for a thousand years," Gu Shanhai said calmly.

"You should have helped me, you should have helped me~" Chaotic and resentful voices surged from within Luo Huaisong, whose body started disintegrating at this moment, but emitted a vast amount of resentful energy, forming a gigantic female apparition.

"I know, I am helping you," Gu Shanhai responded.

Yu Niang’s past life was a mountain ghost, her next life Yue Niang, but now... her next life is Gu Shanhai.

Gu Shanhai directly took Yue Niang’s place, bearing this karma.

And all the evil in Qingxian Town originated from the time the mountain ghost was skinned and deboned after being killed.

The death of the mountain ghost, although unrelated to Qingxian Town, was the act of the Xuanwei Sect from a thousand years ago, who used Qingxian Town and Fengtai Village to strip the mountain ghost of its Mountain God status.

Turns out, they indeed managed to strip it, but regrettably, what they received was bitter fruit.

Why Qingxian Town? Simply because Yu Niang, a woman born on a perfect convergence of all positive celestial alignments, was there.

Before that painting was delivered, her previous life was not as a mountain ghost; the Xuanwei Sect had changed her fate against the natural order.

As for the man born on a convergence of all negative alignments, he came later as he was not important, which is why the Xuanwei Sect turned him into a fool.

Whether Hu Mountain Cave or Gu Nei Zhenren, the real masterminds behind them were the Xuanwei Sect.

They wanted to cultivate a prodigy, not only to help spread their teachings but also to make him a Mountain God.

This person was to be the offspring of Yu Niang and Luo Huaisong, the hope of the Xuanwei Sect to overthrow the dynasty and unify Tianzhou.

Everything was actually going quite well, except they overlooked one thing, that Yang in extremis gives rise to Yin, and Yu Niang, having received the mountain ghost’s past life, was destined to give birth to a female infant, indeed, Yue Niang.
