Chapter 417: Go to the Yellow Springs Underworld to file a complaint? Fine, I
Tang An let Wang Maolin lunge at her, remaining all smiles.
Her eyes were filled with mockery and ridicule. She just loved watching Wang Maolin lunge at her in hatred and fury, yet remain completely powerless, unable to even break through her most basic Dharma power defense.
"Wang Maolin, aren't you trying to kill me?"
"What's wrong? Is your shouting just for show?"
Her words were still layered with mockery, driving Wang Maolin to the brink of rage! He went mad inside the room, charging about wildly, yet he couldn't break through a single shred of Tang An's defense.
"You aren't her! You aren't!"
Tang An rested her chin lightly on her right hand, which was propping her up. "Can't you understand why the 'jinx' you abandoned has such abilities now?"
"And you, my former biological father, you are still the same piece of trash as always."
Wang Maolin stopped, coming before Tang An in a rage to roar and shout, attempting to intimidate her.
But this little display of his, aside from making Tang An find it amusing, had absolutely no effect.
"As a man, you abandoned your wife to remarry. As a father, you abandoned your daughter and killed your son. As a son, your mother will be burdened by you and might just die of a broken heart."
"Wang Maolin, you really are bad at everything. The only thing you've always been good at is being a beast worse than a pig or dog."
Listening to Tang An's smiling sarcasm and insults, every word stabbing him in the heart, he was driven into repeated frenzies, roaring in impotent rage.
It could be said that his resentment and baleful Qi were surging, and he was about to lose his mind and become a vengeful ghost.
His obsession, his only obsession, was to kill Tang An.
Tang An just loved watching him rage in impotence, clearly driven to the point of collapse, having exhausted every method, yet still remaining completely powerless.
"A vengeful ghost?"
"If I don't want you to be, you won't even be able to be a vengeful ghost."
Saying this, Tang An took a bead out of her Wealth Gathering Ring. It was a precious bead obtained from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, capable of purifying the baleful and resentful Qi on a ghost's body.
Wang Maolin, who had been on the verge of becoming a vengeful ghost, seemed to lose all strength to struggle in an instant.
The power he had worked so hard to obtain was all absorbed by Tang An into the bead.
"Now, what other tricks do you have?" Tang An put the bead away and continued to watch the show.
Wang Maolin finally realized what a formidable character his former biological daughter had become.
He didn't know how she had become so powerful, but after that resentment and baleful Qi vanished, all that remained was the trembling of his soul.
"I am your father, you can't kill me, you can't."
"If you commit patricide, I will definitely go to the Yellow Springs Underworld to report your crimes."
The words he spoke had no conviction at all.
"Yellow Springs Underworld?" Tang An fiddled with the fruit knife in her hand and cut herself a piece of apple to eat. "Fine, I'll send you there myself."
Just as she picked up the apple, she flicked her hand, sending Wang Maolin's soul into the Underworld.
Moreover, she sent him directly before the Judge, helping him cut the line.
Seeing this, Yang Jian asked Tang An: "Master, aren't you afraid that if he goes to the Underworld and talks nonsense, the Judge might, out of respect for you, not only refrain from punishing him but even treat him as an honored guest?"
Tang An put down the fruit knife and looked at the mess on the floor.
"It's fine, I'm going there anyway. If I don't let him have this last shred of hope, how can I give him endless despair that he'll never forget?"
Nezha looked at the child's corpse on the ground. "Should we burn it?"
"No need. This person died at the hands of Wang Maolin's resentful ghost, but the police shouldn't be able to find that out."
"Let the police investigate the case as they will; even if they find out, it will just be his biological mother watching him commit suicide."
So, behind many of the mysterious cases she liked to watch in the past that the police couldn't solve, there was supernatural power involved?
"Let's go, let's follow and take a look."
After saying this, the figures of the master and her three disciples vanished from the spot.
The Underworld, at the Judge's office.
Regarding this ghost who had suddenly arrived, the Judge and the group of ghost runners were all dumbfounded.
"What is your name? How did you come here?"
Seeing the Judge, the ghost runners, and the appearance of the Underworld, Wang Maolin was shocked and unable to regain his senses for a long time.
He had never believed in ghosts or gods before, but he hadn't expected that he would actually come to the Underworld today.
Seeing that he wasn't speaking, the ghost runners immediately restrained him to prevent a riot.
"My Lord, you are an official, aren't you?"
"I want to file a complaint, I want to report my daughter for patricide, she killed me, she killed me!"
"I am not reconciled, you must punish her severely, punish her severely."
He struggled as if he had gone mad, as if he had suffered a monstrous injustice.
The Judge frowned and told someone to bring the Life and Death Book.
"This official will ask you one more time, what is your name? Where do you live?"
Wang Maolin quickly stated his name and address so that the Judge could uphold justice for him.
The Judge opened the Life and Death Book and actually found Wang Maolin's name. His lifespan had not yet ended; he indeed shouldn't have come here.
"Tell me, who is your daughter? Why did she kill you?"
"My daughter is Tang An, she is possessed by a ghost, she just wants to take revenge on me. Yes, she is possessed by a ghost, she must be possessed by a ghost."
What happened today had exceeded Wang Maolin's understanding of the world. So, projecting his own experience, since he had become a ghost, he felt that Tang An must also be possessed by a ghost to have those abilities that exceeded his understanding.
"Oh, Tang An."
"Where does she live? How old is she this year..." The Judge said, then suddenly paused.
"Who? Tang An!?"
That's impossible... it couldn't be the one he knew, could it?
Impossible, impossible, it must be someone with the same name, yes.
"How old is she... she... she, where does she live..." Wang Maolin was stumped by the questions. He couldn't answer either of them.
Because from beginning to end, he had never cared about Tang An in the slightest.
And the more Wang Maolin couldn't answer, the tighter the Judge's heart felt, making even him nervous.
"Do you... remember how you got here?"
The Judge realized that a ghost suddenly cutting the line and appearing here seemed to be an incredible event in itself; there must have been a great power who personally acted to send him here.
Wang Maolin thought carefully; it seemed Tang An just waved her hand and he arrived?
Impossible, how could she have such ability to casually send him to the Underworld?
"My Lord, perhaps even Heaven couldn't stand to watch, which is why I came here."
"My daughter not only killed me, but also tricked me into killing my son. She has several lives on her hands, you must uphold justice for us."
Listening to Wang Maolin's account, the Judge's feeling of unease grew stronger.
That person was indeed someone who would seek revenge for the slightest grievance; who in the Three Realms didn't know that?
"How exactly did you provoke her? If you really are her father, why would she want to kill you?"
Wang Maolin was momentarily speechless. "She... she..."
"She wanted my money, my house, and when I wouldn't give it to her, she held a grudge."
"Yes, she just wanted to retaliate against me, wanted to kill me so she could inherit my estate in a legitimate way."
"My Lord, you must uphold justice for me."
The Judge sized up Wang Maolin. He had seen countless ghosts; he could still distinguish whether a ghost was lying.
"If you don't tell the truth, this official will use..." The Judge originally wanted to use torture, but he was afraid that Tang An was the one he thought she was. If there really was some misunderstanding, and the father and daughter reconciled in the end, then their Underworld would inevitably be held accountable.
"Forget it, you all watch him, this official will be right back."
This matter had already exceeded the scope of what he could resolve; naturally, he had to report it. ===== CHAPTER 418 =====
