The Anarchic Consort Chapter 704 – The Cunning Hostile Ghost

Chapter 704: The Cunning Hostile Ghost

Thud!

Wang Ling kneeled down to the ground and stammered nervously, “C⁠—Commoner pays respect to the Third Prince!”

Old Lady Wang and Yan Liu’er gasped in disbelief upon hearing Wang Ling’s words.

T⁠—this person is the current Third Prince?

Old Lady Wang did not kneel down immediately, however, one could see that she was shocked.

Yan Liu’er, on the other hand, kowtowed after Wang Ling kneeled down. Her hands had even started trembling.

Baili Jia Jue’s expression did not change much, his elegant side face was perfect like an ice sculpture, cold and pale.

Helian Wei Wei spoke calmly while her eyes swept over the trembling Wang Ling, “Is there anyone who still doubts our identity?”

Wang Ling shook his head vigorously, keeping his mouth shut as if he were immersed in shock, unable to make a sound.

“Since nobody has any doubts, then take off your clothes,” Helian Wei Wei stared at both Wang Ling and Yan Liu’er.

The two of them were stunned for a while. Wang Ling was the first to move, followed by Yan Liu’er. They did not seem reluctant, on the contrary, they cooperated well as they removed their clothes.

Although Helian Wei Wei said nothing, her eyes darkened as she held up the oil lamp from the wooden table. After having a look at it, she swiftly threw the lamp right onto the wedding outfits, not allowing anyone to salvage them.

Wang Ling and Yan Liu’er were still kneeling on the ground. From afar, they did not even dare to look up.

Upon hearing the sudden noise of crackling fire at an arm’s length away, they shuddered.

Helian Wei Wei looked at them condescendingly with a faint smile, “Now that the wedding outfits are gone, you won’t be able to go back even if you wished to. I will give you two options, one, you come out from there by yourself, I will release your souls from suffering; two, I will grab you out now and annihilate you!”

Both of them were unresponsive.

Whereas the hostile ghost in hiding snickered. Annihilate? Such high-sounding sentiments! Does she think that I am of the same level as an ordinary hostile ghost?

Just now it had gotten a taste of that man’s power, and it was indeed impressive.

Up till now, it was unable to grasp that man’s identity.

However, to it, no matter how powerful one could be, as long as its source was not completely destroyed, it could still regenerate itself even from just a miniscule amount of resentful aura!

That woman was clever as well, knowing to burn the wedding outfits.

Then again, did she assume it would not see through her? She had no idea who was it hiding in, that was why she simply gave some harsh warnings.

Humans.

So full of themselves!

There was less than an hour left, which meant that it would be over soon as long as it could hide itself well.

In an hour, all the spirits would have gathered by then.

By that time, the aura of resentment from it would spread to the rest.

Not only could they possess the human body, but also spread the aura of resentment to the underworld.

Since today was All Souls Day, the newly deceased dead souls were included for this gathering as well!

These dead souls could get in to the underworld much easier than the previous dead souls.

It was because they were on the Book of Life and Death, hence the reaper would be summoning for them.

There was no need to barge in, the reaper would take them to the underworld.

As long as one could get in, one would spread to ten, and ten would spread to hundreds, infecting all the spirits living in the underworld.

There comes a time when they would be reborn as babies into the world. By then, newborns of the expecting mothers in the Capital would turn into evil spirits.

When the time comes, the seal would be broken. Those evil monsters and spirits locked away in the underworld would resurface on earth.

As for humans, they would become their food.

The hostile ghost laughed quietly. Its eyes peeked at Old Lady Wang from the shadows. There’s no use for this old woman anymore.

It had initially thought that she was different from the others, at least she was ruthless. What it did not expect was that she was persuaded.

Humans, as expected, were still weak even when had become dead corpses.

It was not worth working with them.

Although it was personally created by her, a lowly dead corpse like her was not fit to be its master!

Kill her!

Aura of resentment seeped out from the bottom of its heart.

The face of the hostile ghost switched around rapidly, one moment it was Zhang Ling’er, next it was Wang Wanxi. They were the people who were killed by Old Lady Wang. Right now, all their faces showed unprecedented hatred.

If it were not for the Wang mother and son, they would not have died.

Therefore, they absolutely would not let both of them get away!

“Why bother talking so much with it?” Baili Jia Jue stepped forward. His shiny black boots gave a loud thump as it was brought down against the floor. He walked gracefully as he wore a vague smile on his face, his entire demeanor was wickedly charming. His eyes, however, were as cold as ice. “Kill them both, one of them must be it.”

Old Lady Wang’s face turned pale when she heard his words. She rushed in front of her son and kneeled down before Baili Jia Jue, kowtowing several times until blood was all over her forehead. “Your Highness, I beg you, please don’t kill my son. Didn’t you all promised not to touch my son?”

Baili Jia Jue looked at her distastefully, “It was not I who promise you.”

Old Lady Wang did not expect to get such a reply. She fell to the ground meekly, “Wang Ling had not done any wrong, he…”

“He may be possessed by the hostile ghost. If he does not die, more people would die.” Baili Jia Jue interrupted her calmly without any expressions on his face, “You made that wedding outfit for your son to get married. Now that your son had donned the outfit, he should be responsible for it, isn’t that only fair?”

Old Lady Wang covered her face and began to cry. She was truly remorseful now. Not once did she imagine that a wedding outfit would harm his son!

Was this retribution sent from above?

Old Lady Wang shook her head and turned toward Helian Wei Wei with her tears rolling down, “Please, I beg you, please spare my son’s life! I would do anything for it! I beg you!”

Helian Wei Wei stayed silent.

Yan Liu’er was frightened, quickly moving further away from Wang Ling.

Wang Ling clenched both of his hands before he spoke with a hoarse voice, “Mother, don’t be like this…”

“Ah Ling, my poor Ah Ling…”

Following Old Lady Wang’s wailing, dark clouds were getting thicker in the sky. Without warning, the sky thundered as lightning struck down.

The guards on the outside were startled. While fidgeting about, they looked at each other and felt rain drops on their face. An unknown fear crawled into their vision.

Not only the guards, but the residents on the streets, be it young ones or elderlies, were all shocked. Their doors and windows were shut tightly as they held their grandchildren in their arms. With their hands, they covered the children’s eyes, afraid that they might witness an unholy sight.

After all, the elderlies had lived longer than the younger ones. They knew more than the younger ones as well.

Everyone said that the rainy season was the most troublesome season. This was not without any reasons.

Moreover, it was winter season. It should not be raining in the first place…
