Chapter 884: Everything is Karma

These wandering souls were ultimately unable to stop Duan Ziqi. Duan Ziqi, in mid-air, took a step forward, and the void rippled forward for three zhang. With a violent shout, the Sword Qi in his hand condensed, and then, with a hum, a streak of Sword Light slashed toward Huizhao.

The Buddha Light on Huizhao grew increasingly intense. Amidst the radiance, she looked like a deity with her kind and gentle expression. Facing the overwhelming Sword Intent, she felt no fear at all.

Duan Ziqi's sword encountered resistance; the sword in his hand pressed downward with great effort, advancing inch by inch.

Finally, with a violent shout, he thrust his sword forward, and a streak of Sword Light enveloped Huizhao.

With a hum, the Sword Light shot into the sky, and Huizhao's figure vanished into the endless Sword Light.

"Master..."

Countless wandering souls gathered, forming a sorrowful face in mid-air. Countless wails surged from all directions. Countless Yin Souls, reluctant to part with Huizhao—over these years, Jizhao Nunnery had saved countless ghosts. Now that Huizhao had fallen, a fine drizzle began to fall from the sky; this was the heavens grieving for her death.

Duan Ziqi was struck with horror. This was Heavenly Mourning. Only then did he realize that this nun was a person of great fortune; otherwise, her death would not have caused Heavenly Mourning, with the heavens themselves mourning for her.

If he had known this would be the result, he would never have struck this blow, but now, it was too late to say anything.

Yu Sichen, who had been in the back mountain, felt a pain in her heart, as if struck by a heavy blow.

She turned her head in disbelief, only to see a streak of Buddha Light shooting into the sky. Within this Buddha Light was Huizhao's aura, which meant that her master had ascended.

"Master, Master..." Yu Sichen knelt on the ground, crying out hoarsely.

"She died because of you." The voice from the bottom of her heart suddenly surged out again, a voice both male and female fused together, impacting Yu Sichen's mind.

"You really are a disaster. You killed your parents with your own hands, and now you've implicated your master, causing her to die for you."

"Hehehe, what is the meaning of a person living in this world? Yu Sichen, don't you want revenge?"

The voice, both male and female, welled up in Yu Sichen's heart. In her eyes, a trace of black Qi surged.

Before her, Duan Ziqi's figure appeared. His purpose in coming here today was Yu Sichen, so naturally, he would not let her go.

"Yu Sichen, this old man is back. Say something! Release my restraints; only I can save you, and only I... can avenge you." The Ancestral Ghost's voice was somewhat urgent: "What are you still hesitating for?"

"I can release you, but from now on, my body is still mine to command." Yu Sichen's expression gradually turned cold; she could no longer turn back.

"Fine, as long as you don't trap me in this cage, you can say whatever you want." The Ancestral Ghost laughed: "But I can't beat this old man; I can only help you escape."

Black Qi flashed in Yu Sichen's eyes. Her pupils briefly turned black, and after the blackness faded, her eyes returned to clarity.

She turned over and charged toward Duan Ziqi.

"Are you throwing your life away?" The Ancestral Ghost's voice was somewhat panicked: "This old man is a Half-step Dharma Cultivator; I don't want to die."

"Master treated me with kindness as heavy as a mountain. Even if I have to risk this life today, I will perish together with this old man," Yu Sichen said coldly.

"Yu Sichen, wake up! If you charge over now, you'll achieve nothing but death. As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood."

"Give me some time. As long as I devour more human nature, I can become stronger. By then, a Half-step Dharma Cultivator will be no match for me. If you spare his life now, you can slowly kill all his friends, family, and disciples. Isn't that better?"

A moment of hesitation flashed in Yu Sichen's eyes. That's right, rather than both sides suffering, why not slowly torture the other party?

"Making someone suffer doesn't necessarily mean killing them; it means torturing them, making them wish they were dead. Hehehe, Yu Sichen, let's go. When we return, we will be powerful." The Ancestral Ghost's voice was extremely shrill.

Yu Sichen closed her eyes, turned around, and vanished without a trace.

Shengjing, Liu Family.

After receiving this news, Liu Lianxin was furious. She entered the Liu Family compound and walked toward the room where Liu Jingye was staying.

"Miss, the young master said you cannot enter, you..." A bodyguard stepped forward to block Liu Lianxin.

*Puff*, Liu Lianxin struck out with a palm. The bodyguard's body stiffened, and he collapsed onto the rockery to the side with a thud. A cloud of blood mist exploded; it was clear he would not survive.

"Those who block me, die." Liu Lianxin turned around, radiating killing intent. The dozen bodyguards following her were so frightened they retreated one after another.

In their impression, the Second Miss had always been smiling and polite, but today she was filled with murderous intent, looking as if she intended to kill Liu Jingye.

Liu Jingye was sleeping soundly, but suddenly he felt his body tighten. A hand grabbed him, and immediately after, he felt his body lighten as he flew outward.

*Crash*, he smashed through the floor-to-ceiling window of the room and rolled onto the ground. The broken glass cut his entire body. Having been sleeping soundly, he lay on the ground, twitching incessantly.

"Why?" Liu Lianxin's eyes were slightly red, one hand gripped around Liu Jingye's throat. She was waiting for Liu Jingye's answer.

Although Huizhao was not her true master, the affection between them was no different from that of a master and disciple. Moreover, she was an enlightened high monk who had saved countless wandering souls in Jizhao Nunnery. If Liu Jingye did not provide an explanation today, she would kill him directly.

"It was an accident. My target was Yu Sichen; I didn't expect to hurt your master." Liu Jingye was terrified; he had never seen Liu Lianxin this angry.

"Liu Jingye, you will pay the price for what you have done." Liu Lianxin's hand moved, intending to end his life.

"Stop! Lianxin, what are you doing? Are you going to kill your own brother?" Just then, Liu Zhangshun, having received the news, hurried over.

"He killed my master." Liu Lianxin's eyes were slightly red: "Grandfather, are you going to shield him?"

"Grandfather, save me!" Liu Jingye was scared out of his wits. He broke free from Liu Lianxin and crawled to Liu Zhangshun's side.

"You rebellious son, do you know what kind of disaster you've caused?" Liu Zhangshun kicked him away and said bitterly: "Someone, lock him up. Confine him for three months."

"You kill someone, and the punishment is just three months of confinement? Is your Liu Family too lenient with its own people?" A voice like a thunderclap arrived, followed by a surge of Divine Sense that locked onto Liu Jingye.

It was Chen Yu who had arrived. Chen Yu was covered in blood, his face full of killing intent. His powerful Divine Sense locked onto Liu Jingye; a single thought from him could take Liu Jingye's life.

"Chen Yu, do you dare to break into our Liu Family and kill?" Liu Zhangshun shouted violently.

Chen Yu glared at him. Liu Zhangshun's body stiffened, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back a few steps, his body swaying, nearly falling over.
