Chapter 606: It’s Just a Malevolent Spirit; How Can We Offer Worship to Him!

Without new soul sacrifices, the strength of the formation was maintained.

"Ninth Prince..." The one at the front was Yin Yao, his eyes wide open, clearly shocked that Ye Siheng had arrived so quickly.

Ye Siheng looked up at him, his gaze chillingly cold. "Your royal brother trusted you and valued you highly. Is this how you repay him?"

Yin Yao swallowed hard.

Faced with Ye Siheng’s oppressive aura, he took a deep breath before summoning the courage to speak. "Ninth Prince, a few years ago, my parents died from an epidemic. My family had no money to buy coffins for their burial. It was the Empress who gave me fifty taels of silver, allowing me to give my parents a proper burial. This kindness is greater than heaven, and I have no choice but to repay it."

"If you want to repay kindness, you can do so yourself. Why involve so many innocent people?" Ye Siheng said coldly. "Did your parents not teach you right from wrong, what should be done and what should not?"

Yin Yao’s face turned increasingly pale.

With no family left, he had nothing to hold onto.

He felt that living was merely about repaying that kindness.

He glanced at the valley and, closing his eyes, he cut his throat.

Ye Siheng wanted to stop him but was already too late.

However, he knew that there could be no more souls sacrificed. He leaped forward and, before the ghostly energy could overwhelm him, he severed Yin Yao’s soul into tiny fragments.

The ghostly energy could not envelop the soul and was suppressed by the golden light of the formation.

The formation remained stable.

Ye Siheng let out a quiet sigh of relief, just as he was about to release the townspeople, an earthquake shook the valley, and the formation showed signs of cracking. A surge of ghostly energy burst out!

Now, not only did he have spiritual power protecting him, but he also possessed a Protection Talisman within him. This ghostly energy could not harm him.

But the townspeople were different.

In an instant, Ye Siheng’s mind flashed with a method to use a spell.

He immediately formed a hand seal, channeling his internal spiritual power. Silver light burst forth from his fingertips, repelling the ghostly energy.

Moreover, the silver light spread outward, forming its own formation that enveloped the townspeople.

The ghostly energy struck down repeatedly.

Yet it could never break through the silver light formation.

Initially, the townspeople were a bit frightened and panicked, thinking Ye Siheng was unreliable.

But seeing him standing firmly without moving an inch calmed them down. They began to cheer him on:

"Hero! You are so amazing!"

"What hero? This is a Celestial Master! Only a Celestial Master can resist this ghostly energy!"

"A Celestial Master? Then he can’t get married! I was going to offer myself to him."

"Offer yourself? Have you looked in the mirror? He’s so handsome and noble, does he need you to offer yourself?"

"Dog Erdan, your mouth is too foul!"

As they talked, the crowd began to bicker.

If they weren’t bound, they probably would have fought.

Ye Siheng finally couldn’t help but roll his eyes and said without looking back, "If you shout one more time, I’ll throw all of you out."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, yet it shocked everyone into silence, not daring to even breathe.

Ye Siheng’s ears finally felt at ease, but he was also thinking: A’Li, hurry up, these people are truly annoying.

Being a good person was indeed not easy.

Even his ears couldn’t take it.

Inside the valley.

There stood a dilapidated temple, its roof gone, and the surrounding walls were in ruins.

On the high platform, the "Death God Statue" had a green face with fangs and was missing half of its features, looking even more sinister and terrifying.

A voice emanated from inside: "Haha! Soon, soon! These offerings... I like them very much!"

More and more ghostly energy spread out.

Once he had absorbed three hundred souls, his true form would be able to break free from the formation.

He had entered the dreams of so many people, and finally, this time it would be useful. This stupid empress had really prepared so many offerings for him!

Several strands of ghostly energy spiraled around.

Lady Su saw this and fainted.

Rong Dongling and Fan Yunxi had seen similar scenes before and were not fainted by fear. Instead, they protected Lady Su.

They glared at the kneeling Empress Xie, filled with rage.

Empress Xie clasped her hands together, her expression devout. "Great Death God, I have prepared offerings for you. I hope you will accept them and release my son from suffering."

"With such sincerity, I will surely respond to you!" the statue of the god spoke again.

"Thank you, Great Death God!" Empress Xie exclaimed, "I knew that offering to the Great Death God was not wrong. I not only prepared three hundred offerings but nine hundred and ninety-nine! I only wish for my son to have a smooth life in the next life, and best... best if he can become emperor, fulfilling his wish in this life."

Rong Dongling understood this at this point.

She stared at Empress Xie, "Empress, this is just a malevolent spirit! How can you worship him?!"

Empress Xie turned around, her gaze fierce. "Shut up! You shameless woman, how dare you say the Great Death God is not!"

"If he is the Death God, he will follow the laws of heaven and earth. How can you offer human lives as sacrifices?!" Rong Dongling’s chest heaved. "He is just a malevolent spirit, deceiving you! Your husband’s sins can only be atoned by him; no one can help him!"

Her own brother had made a grave mistake, and their family had suffered because of it.

She had thought that marrying Ye Chengyan would lead to a peaceful life, but now she had fallen into a deeper hell.

And now Empress Xie still wanted to use her as a sacrifice?

What was wrong with heaven?!

Why was it so unfair to women?!

Fan Yunxi also said, "Aunt, please calm down. If you want to see the Death God, we can seek the Ninth Princess. She has extraordinary abilities..."

Empress Xie stood up and shot them a harsh glare:

"Chu Nanli will not help me. I don’t care whether he is the Death God or a malevolent spirit. As long as he can help me, I will worship him!"

"You and Lady Su are Yan’er’s wife and concubine. Now that he is dead, you should accompany him to the Nether World and continue to serve him!"

"And you, Yunxi, I will spare Beihan’s life for your brother’s sake, but someone must pay with their life for Yan’er. Yunxi, you are Beihan’s wife; that can only be you."

Fan Yunxi froze.

She did not expect Empress Xie to harbor murderous intent against Xie Beihan, disregarding family ties.

Her hands grew cold as she said, "If my aunt feels this way, I... I... I can repay the marquis’s debt, as long as you no longer resent him or think of harming him."

"You foolish girl!" Rong Dongling felt helpless yet couldn’t help but feel envious.

Xie Beihan must treat Fan Yunxi very well, which was why she was willing to sacrifice herself for him.

"Yunxi, don’t be foolish! Your marquis is loyal and patriotic; he did nothing wrong. Neither you nor he needs to repay the debt." Rong Dongling continued, "Listen to me, you can die for Lord Xie, but you should cherish your own life and return to see him. Don’t let him feel sad!"

Fan Yunxi initially felt confused, but as Rong Dongling spoke, she suddenly awakened.

That’s right, this was merely Empress Xie’s obsession; they did not need to sacrifice their lives.

Seeing that she understood, Rong Dongling quickly added, "We two will definitely be able to subdue her!"
