The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!
Chapter 465: The Aura of the System

Chapter 465: Chapter 465: The Aura of the System

The dazzling Golden Light almost illuminated the entire dark Ghost Realm.

The resentment that entangled around Scarlett Jennings let out a sharp howl the moment it touched the Golden Light.

Scarlett saw that the golden figure almost instantly appeared before her, reached out, and directly pulled her out of that abyss of darkness.

All the resentment dissipated like smoke the moment it touched her palm, as if purified.

Scarlett’s eyes regained clarity, looking at Samuel Chalmers in front of her, and the Golden Light surrounding him that seemed even more dazzling than before,

"How did you..."

Halfway through her words, she suddenly seemed to remember something, abruptly lowered her head to search around, and soon, she saw the scorched little paperman lying on the ground.

Scarlett carefully picked up Liora Gold from the ground, the colorless little paperman looked like a mere piece of waste paper.

Scarlett’s eyes dimmed slightly, but quickly she restrained her emotions and carefully put it away.

Samuel watched her actions, his gaze falling on her blood-stained hand, frowning, he pulled her hand over, eyes darkening slightly,

"Injured again."

"Just a small wound."

Scarlett said, withdrawing her hand from his, then casually pulled him behind her,

"Stand behind me, don’t worry, I’ll handle this quickly."

Samuel was stunned, just about to say something, only to see Scarlett already decisively turning towards the red Resentful Bone, looking up, her almond eyes chilled,

"What you wanted me to see, I’ve seen. Your people betrayed you, but those have turned into Evil Ghosts and are forever trapped by you in the Ghost Realm,

You abandoned reincarnation to keep watch in the Ghost Realm for a thousand years, letting your resentment grow, is it really just to repeat the past and endlessly increase your killings?"

The red Resentful Bone, due to Scarlett’s words, quickly gathered a somewhat frenzied shadow in the void with Ferocious Fiend energy.

The shadow waved, seemingly angry.

"You haven’t been killed, how could you understand me?!"

"I truly can’t empathize with you, but I know that the hundred people trapped in the Ghost Realm by you are unrelated to your karma."

Scarlett said, her voice slightly deepened, "Moreover, are you really sure all your people betrayed you?"

Scarlett did not believe it.

Human nature is ugly, yet not everyone is purely ugly.

Like those players who firmly stood in front of her, even if it meant becoming a Cat Specter.

Among those city’s citizens, there must have been people who truly loved and were grateful to that Princess and tried to stop what happened.

Scarlett’s words seemed to cause the tumultuous Resentful Aura in the shadow to become momentarily confused. She seized this moment and suddenly reached into her backpack.

Her fingers paused slightly upon touching the black Thunder Talisman she carried, then instead reached for another Evil Exorcism Talisman.

She decisively threw the Evil Exorcism Talisman along with the remaining Golden Light toward the red Resentful Bone.

Perhaps due to the Ghost Realm breaking open, the Spiritual Energy that was previously obstructed on the Talisman returned to normal. Scarlett quickly formed a mantra in her hands, shouting,

"Heavenly Dao is clear, Earthly Dao is peaceful, universe mixed, all evils expel...

Ferocious Fiend is repelled, Resentful Aura can banish, Golden Light appear fast, Taoist energy persists."

With those recited clear sounds, the black Talisman instantly emitted streaks of Golden Light, shredding the Ferocious Fiend energy entangled around the Resentful Bone one by one.

The red Resentful Bone let out bursts of painful wails, Scarlett seemingly unfazed, gritting her teeth, continuously pulling out the Resentful Aura attached to the Resentful Bone using her Spiritual Power.

Samuel watched Scarlett rapidly depleting her Spiritual Power and slightly frowned, vaguely guessing what she intended to do.

She wanted to dissipate the resentment on the Resentful Bone, leaving a sliver of life for its owner.

Even though the matter could be resolved with a single Purple Thunder...

Speaking indifferently, she still couldn’t harden her heart against it.

Samuel looked at Scarlett’s back, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

Seeing the Golden Light on the black Talisman dimming, Samuel was about to reach out to replenish the Golden Light for her, when Scarlett suddenly cut her fingertip, drawing another Talisman with the blood Spiritual Light in the void.

The Talisman Light flew towards the black Talisman, which was about to dim, and it once again flourished with Golden Light. The ferocious qi still struggling was immediately and completely dispersed by the dazzling Spiritual Light.

Samuel’s eyes flickered, glancing at Scarlett, thoughtful.

Meanwhile, the Spiritual Power around Scarlett suddenly dissipated, and she let out a deep breath.

Looking up, she saw the red Resentful Bone gradually turn to ash in the Spiritual Light and dissipate.

Scarlett’s eyes trembled lightly, only to see, in the sparkling powder with the Golden Light, a woman’s form faintly emerging.

The woman wore full battle attire, just like the one Scarlett saw in her Mirage Realm.

Her expression was cold but layered with a hint of relief, her voice soft,

"Thank you... for attempting to save me at the last moment, but my fate was sealed long ago."

"Scarlett Jennings, don’t blame me for deceiving you...

And beware, the ghost plague may resurface..."

Her voice began to fade, so weak it was almost inaudible, Scarlett barely caught the last two words,

"Be careful..."

The rest of the words seemed to vanish into the wind.

Watching as the red Resentful Bone completely turned to ash before her eyes, Scarlett felt indescribable emotions, looking up only to see the surroundings gradually revealing the outside world.

Evidently, with the disappearance of the Princess’s Resentful Bone, the Ghost Realm had started to collapse.

Scarlett was just about to relax her mind when she suddenly sensed something, her almond eyes sharpened, and a Binding Order flew rapidly toward a certain location.

A Talismanic Chain appeared from the void, binding the large rat hidden behind a distant tree.

The large rat was the Rat Demon that had previously led her.

The Rat Demon, upon being bound, spat human words angrily, dissatisfied,

"Ingratitude! You are ungrateful! Humans are indeed cunning and deceitful, not a single good one!"

Scarlett raised a hand, pulling the Rat Demon close with the Talismanic Chain, ignoring its curses and only asked,

"What were you just with?"

Just now, in that moment, she distinctly sensed the presence of the system.

Though faint, she was certain she didn’t sense it wrong.

How was it that the Binding Spirit Chain caught only this Rat Demon?

"What thing, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

The Rat Demon tried to argue, but the next second, Scarlett brandished a Thunder Talisman before it, her eyes stern warning.

Rat Demon: ...

You think you’re all that, scaring me with a Thunder Talisman.

But its body honestly pointed aside, "It ran that way."

Scarlett’s heart tightened, a Spirit Talisman held the Rat Demon in place. She dropped a word for Samuel to wait right there, took the Peach Wood Sword, and chased in the direction the Rat Demon pointed.

Samuel was abruptly left behind, lifted a leg to follow, but suddenly seemed to remember something, his dark eyes swept the Rat Demon on the ground with a hint of warning.

The Rat Demon, in that instant, felt unfamiliar oppression weigh down on it,

The large rat shuddered violently, almost blowing up its fur, shivering as it spoke,

"I-I won’t run..."

Who are these people, really?!
