Chapter 490: 490, (one more update)

"Tonight, I will slaughter the entire Mo family; not a single one of you here will escape!"

The resolute voice, carrying waves of hatred, spread through the air into everyone’s ears.

This voice, all too familiar.

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at each other, seeing shock in the other’s eyes, and finally, they looked up ahead.

They saw that the swarm of lonely ghosts that had been rushing forth were now neatly lined up in two rows, emitting spine-chilling cries, a grand welcome from a hundred ghosts that was alarming to the heart.

Stepping out from between the rows of ghosts was a tall woman.

Dressed in a bright yellow robe, her hair tied up high, the black flower of death on her left temple was particularly eye-catching. If Zheng Chuyi in red was enchanting and playful, then Zheng Chuyi at this moment was completely demonized, oozing a ghostly qi that penetrated the soul.

"Zheng Chuyi?!" Tong Zhi recovered from her shock, staring incredulously at Zheng Chuyi.

Upon these words, everyone else was stunned; no one had expected the person to be Zheng Chuyi.

The Zheng Chuyi they saw now was the polar opposite of her usual self.

"Sister Chuyi? That’s great, are you here to help us?" Mu Xianxian looked at Zheng Chuyi with elation in her eyes, full of smiles. Children admire beautiful things, and Zheng Chuyi’s reputation in the Superpower World was indeed not bad, so all families with unmarried daughters regarded her as a role model.

Zheng Chuyi was that shining standout at the peak, her every move deeply influencing others.

"Look," Mu Xianxian turned to Zhou Xunian, "Sister Chuyi is so powerful, she’s much stronger than that Chu-named woman inside!" With that, she started walking towards Zheng Chuyi but was quickly pulled back by Zhou Xunian’s swift reaction.

Aside from Mu Xianxian, the others all had grave expressions.

No one was a fool; they had already seen the abnormalities in Zheng Chuyi.

Those in the Superpower World never dealt with chimei and wandering ghosts; Zheng Chuyi’s ease in summoning a hundred ghosts suggested she had utterly fallen into the demonic way.

But no one could figure out why the foremost beauty of the Superpower World had turned out like this?

Could it be someone impersonating Zheng Chuyi, framing her?

Or perhaps someone was using this opportunity to sow discord between the Mo family and the Superpower World.

The minds of the crowd were diverse, their thoughts spinning.

"Why are you pulling me? Are you crazy?" Mu Xianxian struggled, dissatisfied with Zhou Xunian’s restraint, "I’m going to join Sister Chuyi. Together, we’ll save Ninth Brother and drive that Chu-surnamed woman away."

Mu Xianxian didn’t like Chu Jin at all, feeling that Chu Jin had stolen everything that rightfully belonged to Zheng Chuyi.

Such a vain and greedy woman deserved to be scorned.

"Stop messing around!" Zhou Xunian’s face was stern, more serious than ever as he said firmly, "Look closely, is that your Sister Chuyi?"

Zhou Xunian had never lost his temper with her before, always smiling and cheerful.

At that moment, Mu Xianxian dared not move; her face whitened with fear, her eyes reddening.

Looking up at Zheng Chuyi again, her face registered more shock. She had been too hasty and hadn’t noticed that Sister Chuyi was now enveloped in a surge of ghostly and evil qi.

Indeed, this was not the Sister Chuyi she knew.

Mu Xianxian instinctively grasped Zhou Xunian’s hand tightly, her voice tense, "Brother Zhou, I’m sorry."

Zheng Chuyi swept a cold glance over everyone, the corner of her mouth curling into a sinister smile, "If you know what’s good for you, hand over Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin immediately. Out of respect for old times, I’ll leave you a whole corpse! Otherwise, I’ll make sure you have no place to be buried."

"Who, who, who are you?" A female friend of Zheng Chuyi’s, who had always admired her, stepped forward with a panicked and incredulous expression, unable to understand how their idol could suddenly have changed like this.

"Who do you think you are to talk to me like that? Looking for death!" With a flick of her wrist, Zheng Chuyi unleashed a powerful blast of cold light from her sleeve, striking the woman squarely. She cried out in pain as her body, like a kite with its string snapped, spiraled several times in the air before plummeting rapidly toward the ground.

The blackened Zheng Chuyi, not only had her attire changed, but her combat power had also skyrocketed many levels. Ordinary people were no match for her.

"Sister Ying!" Mu Xianxian cried out, throwing caution to the wind as she leaped to catch Bai Ying. When Zheng Chuyi shot her a fierce glare, a powerful force instantly knocked Mu Xianxian to the ground.

"Puh" Both fell to the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of bright red blood.

"Ying’er!"

"Xianxian!"

Two anxious voices rang out in the air as Zhou Xunian and another young man quickly morphed into shadows and helped the two to safety among the crowd.

"Brother Zhou, she’s definitely not Sister Chuyi. Sister Chuyi would never do this to me," Mu Xianxian said with a pale face, her thoughts not on her own injuries but on vindicating Zheng Chuyi at this critical moment.

"Yes, I believe in Xianxian, that definitely isn’t Chuyi." The Zheng Chuyi they knew was beautiful, kindhearted, generous, dignified, and gentle. How could she possibly become what she was now? Since childhood she had grown up in the Superpower World, how could she ever say such harsh words as slaughtering the entire Mo family.

So, this person definitely isn’t Zheng Chuyi!

"She is Zheng Chuyi! You two just don’t want to admit the truth. If you don’t believe it, once we catch her, everything will come to light!" Tong Zhi stated the facts expressionlessly. As she finished speaking, she raised her hand and drew a blood talisman in the air, "Vermilion Bird, come forth!"

A blaze of fire broke through the darkness! The Vermilion Bird transformed into a fierce sword blade and viciously hacked towards Zheng Chuyi!

Zheng Chuyi let out a cold laugh, gently lifted her left hand, and snatched a banner from the air, "With Qingjun here, Hundred Ghosts heed my command! Tonight, I shall dye Mo family with blood, exterminate them all!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the orderly spirits all transformed into ferocious ghosts, charging at the crowd with bared fangs and brandished claws.

Woo woo—

The desolate and hoarse screams of ghosts encircled everyone’s ears in an instant.

Ghosts of varying forms.

Some with mouths ejecting putrid, blood-red tongues; some carrying their own heads; some with bodies swarming with maggots emitting foul odors; and even some crawling out from underground... The scene was like that from a disaster movie, reminiscent of a zombie siege, causing extreme horror.

The faint-hearted would be scared to death at a single glance.

Swish, swish, swish—

Qin Qingchen, wielding a duster, continually lashed at the attacking ghosts. Whichever spirit the duster touched, it shattered, "Scattering Like Ashes".

Despite this, more ghosts kept emerging, one after another. Not only did their number not shrink, but it seemed to grow.

Their only target was to breach the Mo family compound and turn it into a slaughterhouse.

Realizing this was not working, Qin Qingchen, while fending off small ghosts, turned her head to Tong Zhi and said, "Mrs. Tong, to catch the thief, first catch the king; we must capture Zheng Chuyi first!"

"Alright!" Tong Zhi exchanged a glance with her, then leaped into the air, "Vermilion Bird, return!"

The Vermilion Bird, entangled with the ghosts, immediately turned into a streak of red light and flew back to Tong Zhi, turning back into the multicolored feather fan.

Tong Zhi, holding the multicolored feather fan, quickly struck towards Zheng Chuyi’s fatal point.

Qin Qingchen also leaped into the air, swung her duster, and the tail of the duster instantly extended, wrapping around Zheng Chuyi’s waist like the hand of the Grim Reaper from the depths of hell, binding her hands together.

At this moment, Zheng Chuyi was tightly bound by the duster, defenseless; however, the curve of her mouth was particularly sinister.

Now is the time!

Tong Zhi seized the moment, concentrating all her Spiritual Energy into the multicolored feather fan, merging with the divine power of the Vermilion Bird, transforming into a sharp long saber, and viciously slashed at Zheng Chuyi!

Yet, as Zheng Chuyi watched the saber smashing towards her, there wasn’t a trace of fear in her eyes; instead, the smirk on her face deepened, mocking to the extreme.

"With such petty skills, you still want to fight me? Tong Zhi, Qin Qingchen, you think too highly of yourselves!"

She was Qingjun from the Ancient Times! The Qingjun who had fought and slain countless enemies alongside the sovereign; if it wasn’t for the sovereign’s betrayal, this famed empress of later generations wouldn’t her come into play! Hearing this, Tong Zhi and Qin Qingchen exchanged looks, but before they could react,

Boom—

A deafening explosion occurred, and Zheng Chuyi shot into the sky. The duster that had bound her burst into fragments of fur, scattering all over, while the saber formed from Spiritual Energy shattered into pieces.

Tong Zhi and Qin Qingchen were both struck to the ground by the backlash of the Spiritual Energy, with different degrees of internal injuries, blood seeping from their mouths, hands covering their chests, their expressions full of pain.

At this point, their heart channels might already be shattered.

Too terrifying!

How could there be someone who could launch a counterattack in such a dire situation, defeating both Tong Zhi and Qin Qingchen at the same time!

At this moment, everyone who was fighting the ghosts unanimously looked up into the sky!

The protective Vermilion Bird, anxious, quickly transformed into a streak of red light, spitting out hot fireballs toward the sky, densely packed like raindrops, heading straight for Zheng Chuyi.

Bang, bang, bang—

Zheng Chuyi dodged one fireball after another, her sinister eyes suddenly shooting towards the Vermilion Bird.

"Ignorant beast! I see you are tired of living! Back in the day, if not for the Ten Great Beasts’ mutiny, dealing with me would not have been possible with just a feeble sovereign! Today, I must snap your wings to ensure you can only crawl for the rest of your life, lowly as insects!"

As she spoke, Zheng Chuyi’s features contorted ferociously, and she thrust her hands towards the direction of the Vermilion Bird, fearless of the fireballs. At this moment, her heart and eyes were filled only with the thought of revenge!

The powerful malevolence swept over with Zheng Chuyi’s movement. In an instant, the earth shook and trembled, and people on the ground forcibly steadied themselves but gave the ghosts the upper hand. Numerous spirits surged towards the interior of the Mo family residence.

Fortunately, Qin Qingchen had previously ordered people to affix talisman paper to the doors. The ghosts couldn’t enter immediately and could only hover outside, battering at the door. The talisman paper’s Spiritual Power was limited, and with so many ghosts, it wouldn’t last long.

Suddenly, a mournful cry sounded from the sky.

A fiery red bird plummeted rapidly, like a dilapidated kite.

With a thud.

The Vermilion Bird crashed to the ground, its bright blood staining the earth. The once radiant and vibrant feathers suddenly lost their luster, turning dull black, as its body shrank rapidly until it was the size of a sparrow.

Tong Zhi vomited a mouthful of blood from the depths of her heart in panic, "Vermilion Bird!"

"Vermilion Bird?" Zheng Chuyi’s lips curled into a sarcastic and cold arc, "Where is your Vermilion Bird? That’s nothing but a little sparrow. See, this is the fate of those who betray me!" With those words, she stepped on the back of Tong Zhi’s hand, tiptoed, and ground down hard.

Tong Zhi was drenched in sweat in an instant, the pain was too much to bear! Fingers connected to the heart, and at this moment, her fingers had been broken inch by inch.

"Little Zhi!" The Mo family’s old madam noticed the situation here and screamed out, charging at Zheng Chuyi with the dragon-headed cane.

Zheng Chuyi coldly glanced at her, "Old thing! Seeking death!" With a light wave of her hand, a transparent barrier instantly appeared in the air, repelling the old madam.

"Zheng Chuyi, just kill me," Tong Zhi suddenly looked up at her, preferring death to dishonor.

"Kill you? It won’t be that easy," Zheng Chuyi looked down at her with a pitying gaze, increasing the pressure on her foot, "The real show is just beginning. I told you, I won’t let you have a place to be buried!"

**

The Mo family.

Below ground, the midnight hour had come, and Chu Jin was acutely aware of the drastic changes happening to Mo Zhixuan’s whole body. An overwhelming chill emanated from him, making breathing difficult.

Even bending his fingers took a great deal of effort.

"Jin, while I can still control myself, you need to leave now!" Mo Zhixuan suddenly opened his eyes and pushed Chu Jin toward the platform below. At this moment, his pupils had turned to icy silver, as bright as the full moon, different from his stern appearance before, now with a hint of devilishness.

His skin was many times paler than usual, the cold poison within Mo Zhixuan was taking effect.

At this time, he still retained some of his rationality.

Warmth flowed from Chu Jin’s body, melting away the deep layers of ice. This warmth was redemption, like sunlight in winter, and instinctively, he wanted to absorb more. Although the chill in his eyes intensified, he did not hesitate to push Chu Jin away.

At this moment, a single thought filled his mind.

She must live well.

Even if it meant sacrificing himself, she must live well.

"Calm down, don’t be like this," Chu Jin put her hand on Mo Zhixuan’s shoulder, looking at him with determined eyes, "Everyone is waiting for you to come back. Believe me, I can save you."

"Go now!" Mo Zhixuan spoke coldly, "Fool, this is my own tribulation. It has nothing to do with you. Leave quickly!"

"Mo Zhixuan! I am determined to save you, even at the cost of my own life, you have to live well for me!"

Chu Jin knew the meaning of the Extreme Yin Night, and she knew what Mo Zhixuan was fearing.

But without Mo Zhixuan, she would have died under that bullet long ago.

Without him that day, how could there be a her today?

So, she had no regrets.

What if she succeeded? It was just a mere Extreme Yin Night?

Time seemed to freeze in that moment.

....

Right then, Chu Jin suddenly opened her eyes, gathered Spiritual Power in her left hand and lightly touched his pulse. A visible wisp of ghostly light traveled along his veins, slowly moving to his chest and neck.

Chu Jin swallowed that ghostly light into her mouth and gulped it down quickly. Instantly, a piercing coldness! The temperature in her body was dropping rapidly, her skin pale as paper, yet her lips were a bewitchingly bright red.

The cold poison had been successfully expelled, Chu Jin breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Mo Zhixuan with his eyes closed, a relaxed smile appeared on her lips, then she completely lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

Mr. Mo appeared to be sitting there, but in reality, he had long since passed out.

**

The ground was still the scene of endless slaughter.

The crowd and the ghosts were entangled, both sides fighting furiously, with many already bloodstained.

Zheng Chuyi hung Tong Zhi, the old madam of the Mo family, and Qin Qingchen in the air, wielding a long whip. With every step, she lashed out.

Crack—

Skin split and flesh burst open, the sight was excruciating to watch.

However, the three people suspended in the air remained silent, their lips tightly pressed together, their faces covered in cold sweat.

The talisman paper stuck to the door had long since lost its Spiritual Power, and countless lonely ghosts swarmed forth. Wherever they passed, chaos ensued, and suddenly, corpses dressed in shrouds appeared in the air, blocking the small ghosts’ path.

But the number of corpses was far fewer than that of the ghosts.

The crowd was steadily pushed back.

In terms of the situation, it appeared Zheng Chuyi and the ghosts had gained the upper hand.

Zheng Chuyi pointed her finger in the air, and in an instant, the three people hanging upside down crashed to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang.

The three of them had barely any life left in them. Now, their consciousness was still clear, but their bodies were tortured to the point of extreme exhaustion. The only thing they could feel was pain, an endless, surrounding ache.

There was not a single spot on their bodies that was intact.

"Auntie Mo! Auntie Tong! Master Qin!" Zhou Xunian clenched his fists, his face twisted in rage. He hated his own incompetence, that he couldn’t do anything for the three of them. The feeling was worse than death.

"Auntie Mo!" Mu Xianxian was so frightened that her small face turned pale. She covered her mouth tightly and couldn’t stop sobbing.

"Zheng Chuyi, do you have no humanity? That’s Auntie Mo, the woman who raised you with her own hands! How could you repay kindness with evil? Do you have no humanity?" Zhou Xunian roared, his eyes red with rage.

Zheng Chuyi laughed softly, "They brought this on themselves. I’ve said it before, tonight, I will make the Mo family bleed a river. Zhou Xunian, don’t be hasty. It’s almost your turn." Saying so, she pulled out a net-like object from her pocket.

Mu Xianxian immediately stumbled several steps back, "No! No! You’re lying, you’re not Sister Chuyi, you’re not! You are definitely not Sister Chuyi, my Sister Chuyi is not like this." Mu Xianxian hugged her head with both hands, unable to believe the truth.

It wasn’t just Mu Xianxian who couldn’t believe it, none of the others could accept that this ruthless woman before them was the same beauty they had once held in such high esteem.

Zheng Chuyi glanced over the crowd, the corners of her mouth curling into a sinister smile as she tossed the net-like object into the air.

The net grew larger in the air, emitting black qi.

"Tian Luo Earth Net! Capture!"

In an instant, the net trapped everyone inside the house, and, drained of Spiritual Power, they could only struggle helplessly within it.

"Hahaha." Zheng Chuyi let out a pleased laugh, then summoned the Hundred Ghosts Banner and issued a command, "All ghosts heed my order. Tonight, even if you must dig three feet into the ground, find Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin for me! Tear them to shreds! Consume their flesh and blood! Ascend to the heavens!"

"Zheng Chuyi, release us!" Zhou Xunian tore at the net fiercely, his eyes bloodshot, his entire being consumed by fury.

Others took out knives and Magic Artifacts they carried with them, trying to cut through the net. But sadly, all efforts were futile.

This net was no ordinary object; how could it be easily destroyed?

Unless it met its true master.

Otherwise, aside from Zheng Chuyi, no weapon could cut through it!

Zheng Chuyi watched them coldly, her eyes filled with mockery. Now, she had nothing to fear.

She had become the master of fate.

Just then, the bright interior of the house suddenly filled with curling white smoke.

Faint and gentle, it was quite hazy.

It was as if something could walk out of the white smoke at any moment.

Zheng Chuyi also furrowed her brows and heightened her wariness. This was not part of her plan. Where did this white smoke come from?

Suddenly, amid the extreme despair of the crowd, a series of footsteps came from afar.

From ethereal to tangible.

One step, another step, each one landing on the very hearts of the crowd.

Zheng Chuyi looked around frantically, but aside from the footsteps that grew clearer and clearer, she could sense nothing else out of the ordinary.

"Who’s there!" Zheng Chuyi surveyed her surroundings non-stop, "Come out! Stop playing tricks!"

She could feel that the newcomer meant no good.

But the only answer she got was the footsteps, becoming increasingly distinct.

"Come out at once!" Zheng Chuyi wielded a whip, lashing wildly in the air, "Who are you, exactly? Show yourself! What skill is there in playing tricks and pretending to be a god?"
