Bearded Cheng had already lost his physical senses. When he approached the Soul Lamp just now, it was entirely based on his spiritual perception.
Due to these three talismans, his spiritual perception suddenly disappeared. Immediately, he was like a headless fly, spinning around in place.
From time to time, he would bump into the wall and get a swollen head.
The old master of the Tu family showed a smile on his face. It wasn't because Bearded Cheng's current appearance was too comical, but because he saw that these talismans were really effective.
However, since they were currently affecting the physical body, it could only be said that they were useful for the living. There was no guarantee that they would have the same effect on souls.
Nian Nian exerted her strength again. Before the old master could say anything, she pointed at Bearded Cheng's forehead and penetrated into his body with her divine sense. She found the old ghost hidden deep inside his body and grabbed his soul out.
The old ghost didn't look good. He was gaunt and wrinkled, like a mummy.
But he was a soul. The appearance of a soul was basically the same as when the person was alive.
This old man was so ugly when he was alive. It was really scary.
At this moment, Tu Miaomiao's pupils in the corner suddenly shrank.
She actually knew this person!
"Hu Wanshan!"
The name blurted out by Tu Miaomiao made the old ghost's soul tremble.
This voice was all too familiar to him, yet also very strange.
After all, he hadn't heard this voice for hundreds of years.
But the lingering fear buried in his heart still made his soul tremble uncontrollably.
He looked up in the direction of Tu Miaomiao, and couldn't help but open his mouth in shock. He stretched out his trembling hand and said, "You... Why are you here? Weren't you locked up?"
"I bet you didn't expect that we'd meet again one day."
Tu Miaomiao's eyes were blood - red, and her look was as if she wanted to devour the old ghost alive.
If it weren't for the ancestors of the Tu family present, she might really have rushed up and torn the old ghost to pieces.
Hu Wanshan and Hu Tianshui were brothers.
Hu Tianshui was her heartless husband, and Hu Wanshan was the one who helped him kill his own younger brother.
Relying on her trust, the two took advantage of her while she was practicing. With a single swing of the blade, they ended her life without hesitation in just one second.
Tu Miaomiao never thought that these two would kill her so mercilessly at that time.
She thought she had been kind enough to her husband's younger brother.
Because of her strong personality, she often quarreled with her husband.
Maybe she had unconsciously suppressed him many times. Looking back on her life, she could actually understand that Hu Tianshui resented her.
But she had never even raised her voice to Hu Wanshan.
Hu Wanshan was her husband's only younger brother. He was only six years old when he came to the Tu family with her husband.
This brother - in - law could be said to have been raised by her, just like her own son.
It was precisely such a person who betrayed her. How could she not hate him?
"Sis... Sis - in - law... I... I regret it..."
After calming down, the old ghost was no longer so scared. His look when he looked at Tu Miaomiao was very complicated.
There was regret, dependence, guilt, and nostalgia...
When enemies met, they should have been extremely angry. But it seemed that the one who had once killed mercilessly didn't want to have another conflict with Tu Miaomiao.
In the blink of an eye, the old ghost actually knelt on the ground.
Of course, in his soul state, he was just floating when he knelt.
What was this reaction?
Nian Nian was a bit confused. She was still holding the old ghost's life - soul in her hand. It was neither appropriate to let go nor to hold on.
Before anyone could ask anything.
The old ghost himself tremblingly told the whole story.
"Sis - in - law, I was also deceived by my elder brother at that time. He told me that it was because the Tu family strongly suppressed the Hu family that our family was on the verge of extinction. I always thought you were my enemy, so I didn't hesitate to conspire with my elder brother to kill you.
But after that, I found out that the extinction of our family was actually because we offended someone in the officialdom and were secretly killed. I regretted it after knowing the truth, but I didn't have the ability to rescue your souls from the forbidden area.
Over the years, my elder brother has always suppressed my branch. Although he taught me the secret method of the Tu family so that I could survive in the world in the form of a soul, he also imprisoned me in a disguised form.
The current head of the Hu family is the only descendant of my elder brother's branch. I originally wanted to kill that woman and make him have no descendants, but I failed.
I'm sorry, sis - in - law. I can't avenge you."
As he spoke, Tu Miaomiao's thoughts were also drawn back to the past.
Her eyes were red, but the killing intent on her body was getting weaker and weaker.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but all her words turned into a sigh.
It was too late.
Once you did something wrong, it was done.
Everything was settled. What was the use of saying sorry now?
Looking at this scene, Nian Nian and Shen Weixun were a bit numb.
Especially after seeing Tu Miaomiao's reaction, even the six - year - old Xiaotuanzi felt a bit strange.
The two of them stared at the old ghost's expression throughout, not missing even a moment.
They clearly saw the fleeting joy and glint in the old ghost's eyes after he felt Tu Miaomiao's killing intent fade.
It seemed that the Tu family's extinction was not unjust.
It could be seen that when Tu Miaomiao was alive, she was indeed a genius.
Among them, she had the lowest seniority, but she was one of the ghost kings with the highest cultivation.
Even many ancestors couldn't compare to her.
But her mind was a bit too simple.
Some nonsense that even Nian Nian wouldn't listen to or believe, Tu Miaomiao just believed it.
It was the hatred of the extinction of the clan.
She could change her view because of a few words from others. How could she lead the family further with such a mindset?
Don't be kidding.
Nian Nian was even a bit afraid that this aunt would be deceived by the old ghost later and not know which way was up, and would even want to let him go.
Without hesitation, she quickly extracted his life - soul.
Tu Miaomiao's reaction was indeed as Nian Nian expected. When Nian Nian took action, she even let out a scream and wanted to stop her.
But she was too late.
It only took Nian Nian one second to extract his soul.
This guy either had extremely poor talent or simply didn't work hard in cultivation. After hundreds of years, he still couldn't even reach the level of a Ghost General.
His cultivation was only due to his long life.
She really didn't know how such a ghost could hurt the third senior brother.
It would probably take at least another hundred years for this old ghost to become a threat.
"Grandpa, please take this and do it quickly. Otherwise, aunt will be unhappy later."
Nian Nian quickly handed the life - soul in her hand to the old ancestor of the Tu family.
Seeing the reaction of his junior, the old ancestor of the husband's family also looked speechless.
A saying suddenly flashed through his mind.
Pitiful people must have something despicable about them.
Was the extinction of their Tu family really an inevitable result?
