True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets-Chapter 270 - 269: Hundreds of Vengeful Spirits!

Dongfang Hong’s expression was uncomfortable; he raised his eyes and looked at Yu Nianzhao twice in surprise.

He found that not only was her demeanor calm and unaffected by honor or disgrace, but there was also a strange sense of death about her.

Yes, that’s right!

Death indeed.

A young girl, yet she exudes a aura of death, truly eerie.

Yu Nianzhao’s words caused the entire space to fall silent.

Emperor Anqing’s expression was also unpleasant; he hadn’t expected Yu Nianzhao to speak so bluntly.

Mr Dongfang angrily pointed at Yu Nianzhao, "Girl, do you know what the situation was then? If we hadn’t acted this way, where would have your generation’s era of peace come from? We had no choice."

"Oh... I’m merely stating facts, why are you so agitated? Do you also feel immoral?"

Yu Nianzhao calmly retorted, nearly making Mr Dongfang spit blood from anger.

Dongfang Hong said helplessly, "This young lady is certainly relentless in her arguments, Prince Su has indeed found a fiancée who wholeheartedly protects him."

These words seemed both a compliment and a sneer.

Xie Jiuxiao heard no ill words from others, only looking at Yu Nianzhao with gentle and tender eyes.

"Sister!"

At this moment, Ji Yasheng came to his senses, shouted mournfully, and scrambled toward the female ghost.

The female ghost saw Ji Yasheng, and the resentment within her finally calmed down slightly.

She opened her mouth, emitting sobs, and watched Ji Yasheng shed tears of blood.

"Can’t she speak?" Emperor Anqing asked.

Yu Nianzhao flicked her fingertips, sending golden light particles into the mouth of the vengeful spirit.

"Yasheng! It’s your sister’s fault; I was blind in judging people, causing such a horrible fate for our family, making you bear a sea of blood and deep hatred."

Miss Ji regretted deeply, raising her hand to gently caress Ji Yasheng’s face, yet hesitated, fearing the ghostly aura on her body would contaminate him.

"Your whole family has been clinging to him for so long, are you still afraid of harming him?"

Yu Nianzhao spoke bluntly, making Miss Ji feel more guilty.

"Master, have we already harmed Yasheng?"

"Isn’t that obvious? Who would be unharmed after staying with vengeful spirits for long? But it’s too late for you to say these things now!"

"Master, I beg you to save my brother."

"I mean it’s late, as in he’s already tainted with ghostly aura, but he won’t die; don’t worry, just honestly tell everyone about the massacre that happened back then!"

"Yes!"

Miss Ji showed excellent manners; had she not died, she might have been a noble lady of a great family.

"Who exactly killed you and the Ji Family?"

Emperor Anqing asked sternly.

Miss Ji knelt on the ground, pointing at Chu Wenjun with hatred, "It’s him, Chu Wenjun! He killed our entire family."

"Shut up, I didn’t!"

Chu Wenjun, upon seeing the vengeful spirits of the Ji Family, was already not well mentally; yet unlike Chu Wenjia, he had been indulged long ago, playing with ghosts, so he still pretended calmness.

"Do you still want to deny it? Our whole family is here, we can all identify you."

Miss Ji truly laughed in anger.

With her words, all the vengeful spirits of the Ji Family reached their hands out, pointing at Chu Wenjun.

"You killed us, you murdered us!"

"Give us back our lives!"

...

The Ji Family all held resentment, drifting towards Chu Wenjun.

Men accustomed to wrongdoing have no complete fearlessness of ghosts.

Especially when facing one hundred and eighty vengeful spirits, dense and covered in a layer of ominous green aura.

Each one died tragically, even Chu Wenjun couldn’t help but tremble, his eyes vacant.

They were also blocked by the purple aura on Chu Wenjun, unable to get close, staring at him from nearby.

"Wen! Have you forgotten the sweet words you once whispered to me? You said you liked my appearance, loved my graceful figure, that you would marry me; why did you change your mind?"

Miss Ji circled Chu Wenjun, speaking sorrowfully, "Yet even if you didn’t want to marry me, you shouldn’t have annihilated my entire family; I was blind to ever meet you, if not for you, I would’ve still been the eldest daughter of the Ji Family; even if I shaved my head to become a nun, it’s better than causing the deaths of so many innocent people."

"One hundred and eighty lives! How could you bear it?"

Miss Ji’s sobs were piercing.

Mr Lin’s face looked grim; the surrounding ministers witnessed such a scene for the first time and all whispered. Clearly, even the ghosts were identifying; this culprit couldn’t escape connection with Chu Wenjun.

Chu Wenjun gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I did have a brief affair with you, but you claim I killed your whole family; things I’ve never done, I will not admit."

"Chu Wenjun, you are shameless!"

Miss Ji wished she could tear him apart herself.

Chu Wenjun said, "I’m a weak scholar, how could I have the means to kill so many of you?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Miss Ji angrily replied, "But you sent people to do it!"

"Do you have witnesses?"

Chu Wenjun steadied his thoughts, sneering as he said, "Men having many wives is common; I always cherished my first wife dearly, was going to Luoshui Town for business. If not for your deliberate seduction, would I have been tricked? I originally intended to make you my concubine, but you were greedy, wanting my wife’s position. When I refused, you left in anger; it’s nothing more than that."

The Ji Family was astounded by Chu Wenjun’s shamelessness.

He’s really relying on the fact that the vengeful spirits can’t come near him, daring to blatantly distort the truth?

"Chu Wenjun, I will kill you!"

Miss Ji, being slandered like this, had red eyes as she, along with the vengeful spirits of the Ji Family, charged toward Chu Wenjun.

Chu Wenjun initially remained calm, believing the purple aura on him could resist any poison.

But he underestimated the vast quantity of vengeful spirits; their resentment grew daily, jointly attacking, making the purple aura incapable against so much ghostly aura.

Crackling noises!

The purple aura was scattered; Chu Wenjun suddenly felt as if he’d fallen into an icy cellar, cold permeating his body, uncontrollably shivering.

"What... what is this, help... help!"

Frost appeared even on Chu Wenjun’s eyebrows, he couldn’t stop himself from calling for help.

"This is bad; he angered the vengeful spirits, they are willing to dissolve their souls to make him pay the price!"

Dongfang Hong furrowed his brows, throwing out a spell.

Boom!

The power of the runes struck the vengeful spirits; some vengeful spirits fell, but hundreds of others rose defiant.

This indomitable force was something even Dongfang Hong couldn’t solve momentarily.

Dongfang Hong said, "Set up the formation, if worse comes to worst, we’ll fight them."

Mr Dongfang responded, "Yes, setting up the formation now."
