030 Ghosts must be exorcised, and people must also be punished.
"Ming'er!!!"
A hoarse, muffled cry of alarm rang out, the hanged ghost's panic completely undisguised.
Perhaps her strongest obsession in becoming an evil spirit and a demon was not revenge against the Yang family.
It was to protect Yang Tianming, not to interfere with his life.
If she weren't here, how would her blind child survive in the Yang family?
Unfortunately, once one transforms into an evil spirit, human emotions and reason will gradually fade away, leaving only obsession and instinct.
Therefore, it is true that she is a great mother.
But she is also an evil spirit whose hands are stained with the blood of countless people.
The fleshy tongues that were tightly wrapped around the necks of the constables quickly loosened and retracted into the towering black mist.
The billowing black energy continued to condense, eventually being absorbed into the body of a female ghost with bulging eyes and a long tongue hanging out.
The scorching sunlight made the female ghost extremely uncomfortable; the veins on her pale skin writhed like long worms trying to escape their cage.
"Please... let... tomorrow go... please... please..."
For the first time, Ning Kui saw a look of pleading on the hideous and terrifying face of the evil spirit.
"We can't let her go, Lord Ning! This female ghost is incredibly powerful. If we try to force her, we'll lose at least several brothers!"
Pang Hu, carrying a knife, approached Ning Kui and whispered a reminder.
At this moment, Yang Tianming, who was in mid-air, was awakened by the water. Ignoring his own danger, he kept making escape gestures to the female ghost.
The prime minister of the current dynasty was willing to be demoted to a prefecture just to implement the new laws; this was no child's play!
That really means killing ghosts!
He had already told his father, Yang Cangxiong, not to use his mother's power these days, but no one listened to him.
The Ding, Zhu, and Lin families ruled Yugu County for far too long.
So long that everyone forgot who the true ruler of this land was.
"How dare you! Who gave you the right to be so disrespectful at my Yang residence! Even if your Magistrate Lin were here, he would have to give me some face!"
A large group of people walked out of the inner courtyard.
The leader was about fifty years old, dressed in brocade, and had a large belly.
Unfortunately, his rosacea was too prominent, ruining his originally majestic and resolute appearance.
Beside the old man were two scantily clad maids, their faces flushed with an unnatural blush. They gave Ning Kui a disdainful look, probably blaming him for ruining their moment of triumph.
"Hmph, Officer Zhao, who's this brat? Where's Officer Wang?"
Someone stepped forward from behind Yang Cangxiong and began to make connections, but was met with a stern shout from Zhao Quji.
"Enough nonsense! Today, the county government and Ning Kui, the pacification commissioner of the Rebellion Suppression Division, are jointly handling this case. This evil spirit will surely be brought to justice today, and your Yang family is finished!"
The Suppression of Rebels Division!
Yang Cangxiong's disdain vanished instantly, and the elders of the Yang family turned pale, feeling a chill despite the sweltering heat, as if they wanted to wrap themselves in blankets.
Various legends about this violent organization resurfaced from the depths of their memories.
It's like an invisible blade that's been hanging overhead suddenly revealing its true form.
Only then did they belatedly realize that the establishment of the Zhenni Division in Yugu County was linked to the Evil Exorcism Order.
It's not that they're stupid, but that's how Yugu County has operated for hundreds of years. No one could have imagined that one day they would wake up to find everything completely different.
Little did they expect that the first blow of the reform would strike them on the head.
Yang Cangxiong's eyes kept shifting between Ning Kui and the hanged ghost.
The most powerful force in the Yang family is this female ghost; let them fight to the death.
If even she can't defeat Ning Kui, then why drag her clansmen down with her?
The man who abandoned the female ghost once before she died decided to abandon her again after she died.
Yang Cangxiong pushed aside the two maids, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "So it is the Ningping Envoy of the Zhenni Division in front of me. Please forgive my ignorance."
Since the envoy to quell the rebellion has come to uphold the law, my Yang family will naturally not protect evil spirits.
However, the evil spirits are ferocious, and I beg your forgiveness that my Yang family is powerless to assist them.
All the members of the Yang family stared at the patriarch in astonishment.
They were both afraid of the ruthless and heartless head of the family and worried about the future of the Yang family.
Ning Kui summoned the water sphere in mid-air behind him to prevent anyone from tampering with it and causing the female ghost to go berserk.
They even left a helmet-like bubble to cover Yang Tianming's head so he wouldn't suffocate.
His gaze swept over everyone in the room, and these constables seemed to be putting in a lot of effort but not really doing their jobs.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so helpless against the attack of a female ghost at the Dao Building Realm.
Yang Cangxiong and others, on the other hand, showed signs of sacrificing pawns to save the king.
However, Ning Kui had no intention of letting these masterminds get away with it.
If they hadn't been behind it, it's debatable whether the female ghost would even have been considered an evil spirit.
Not to mention the countless blood debts he has committed.
After quickly reviewing the situation in his mind, Ning Kui immediately made a plan.
"You female ghost, I am aware of your grievances, and now I will give you justice."
Your sins are heinous, you have murdered countless people, and you are condemned to death! But I grant you special permission: today, you may take revenge on any member of the Yang family who participated in driving you to your death!
Moreover, I promise that if you can atone for your sins by committing suicide, your son Yang Tianming will become the next head of the Yang family!
"I guarantee him wealth and glory for the rest of his life!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically!
Whether it was the constables, the Yang family members, the female ghost, or even Yang Tianming, who was hanging by a thread in the water sphere, they all showed expressions of disbelief.
Yang Cangxiong was in a panic. He hadn’t expected that even after he had bowed his head, Ning Kui would still not let him go!
Only at this moment did he suddenly realize that his status as the respected Master Yang, wherever he went, was entirely due to the dead wife standing behind him.
Without her, he is nothing!
The female ghost's body trembled, and black energy surged violently from her veins beneath her pale skin.
Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!
This was a deep-seated obsession buried in her soul, which, now stirred up by Ning Kui, was showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.
But she still struggled to control her bloodlust, her eyes bloodshot as she looked at Ning Kui: "Ming'er... Ronghua... promise?"
Ning Kui nodded, pointed to Yang Tianming who was standing to the side with tears streaming down his face, and said, "As long as I am here, Yang Tianming will be the head of the Yang family as long as he does not commit any crimes!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The female ghost laughed loudly, and endless black energy spewed out from her seven orifices.
For over a decade, she willingly endured enslavement and had her hands stained with blood, all to ensure Yang Tianming's survival.
Now that her biggest worry has been resolved, she can finally do what makes her happiest.
Kill Yang Cangxiong, that heartless man!
"No! No!!!"
The Yang family scattered and fled for their lives, but before they could take two steps, a strange force grabbed them by the neck and slowly lifted them off the ground.
They covered their necks with their hands, kicked their legs wildly in the air, and looked up at the sky in despair.
Unaware that death is imminent, will there be even a trace of remorse?
After the slow and painful hanging ended, the female ghost stood in the sky and looked back at Yang Tianming one last time.
"Tomorrow...to be...good...alive..."
The next instant, her entire body collapsed.
Thus, you are freed.
