True Heiress Cuts Ties, The Marquis Household Bitterly Regrets-Chapter 269 - 268: Alternate Dimension!

Yu Nianzhao continued on her own, grabbing the vengeful spirit with her bare hands.

She drew a talisman, ignited it, and scattered it in mid-air.

Bang!

The room door automatically closed, startling everyone.

The guards outside were also alarmed, and they hurriedly rushed forward to try to open the door.

But no matter how hard they exerted their strength, they couldn’t budge the door an inch.

"Emperor!"

The guards shouted anxiously, ready to find a way to break in.

"No matter, you stay outside and guard."

Emperor Anqing’s calm voice came from inside, allowing the guards to finally relax.

The grand hall was pitch dark, and there was the sound of ’whoosh whoosh’ air currents around.

The whole space had cooled down, visible breath coming out, eerily chilling.

"This... this... is this an otherworldly realm? Has she already summoned the souls here?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Mr Dongfang changed from his previous disdainful attitude, his eyes widened so much that it seemed his eyeballs might pop out.

Dongfang Hong’s eyes flashed with light, and he praised, "Not bad, she can not only catch ghosts with her bare hands but also instantly pull souls and people into the otherworldly realm. She is indeed a rare talent in mysticism, no wonder Chenyuan was defeated by her. Even when I was young, I might not have reached this level."

Mr Dongfang said bitterly, "Yes, no wonder that brat Dongfang Chenyuan praised her highly. I thought he was exaggerating, but it turns out it was true."

"Zhaozhao, isn’t it a bit too dim here? Shall I have Mr. Wang light some fire?"

Emperor Anqing felt chilled to the bone, tightening his clothes, wishing someone would light a fire pile.

"Ordinary flames cannot ignite here."

Yu Nianzhao’s voice was soft. She snapped her fingers, and blue-glowing flames appeared around, lighting up the place they were in.

"Where is this..."

They hadn’t moved, yet it seemed they weren’t in the grand hall.

But the guards outside could hear their voices, making it seem like they were still inside the hall.

Puzzling beyond measure.

"This is an otherworldly realm, just a different dimension."

Yu Nianzhao calmly explained, "No need to worry. The number of vengeful spirits is too many. If they suddenly appeared in the mortal world, they would cause chaos, so I pulled you into this realm. After questioning is over, I will pull you back."

Upon hearing this, the ministers, who had been feeling anxious inside, finally relaxed.

"Master, are my family members really here?"

Ji Yasheng’s eyes reddened, clenching his fists, wishing to see them immediately.

"Yes!"

Yu Nianzhao’s hand waved, accompanied by a chill.

The vengeful spirits surrounding Ji Yasheng all appeared right in front of them.

A group of expressionless spirits floated in the air, heads bobbing, with men, women, old and young among them.

Song Cheng and other ministers gasped, startled by the sheer number.

"Are these the deceased of the Ji Family? How many people did the Ji Family have in total?"

Song Cheng asked aghast.

Seeing familiar relatives in unfamiliar poses before him, Ji Yasheng was already sobbing uncontrollably, unable to speak.

"One hundred and eighty souls."

Xie Jiuxiao’s gloomy voice echoed, coldness swirling in his eyes, "When reviewing the files, I saw that the entire Ji Family was annihilated. After several months of investigation, the case was concluded as bandit and robber murder for riches. After that, it was ignored. The Ji Family was a renowned family in Luoshui Town, and while wealthy, they wouldn’t warrant bandits risking their lives publicly."

Song Cheng’s face turned grim. He gritted his teeth, "So, this was just an excuse. They clearly didn’t investigate thoroughly. To just make do, they slapped on a random charge."

"Yes, that’s correct. They never imagined that one survivor of the Ji Family, whom they thought had all been wiped out, would seek revenge years later."

Xie Jiuxiao smirked coldly, "Don’t you agree, Mr. Chu!"

Chu Wenjun emitted an aura of coldness, biting his lip to use pain to control his uncontrollable trembling.

He forced a smile, "It wasn’t me who did it. Why does Prince Su come to ask me?"

Just as he spoke!

A female ghost suddenly flashed in front of Chu Wenjun, opening her bloody mouth, and let out an angry, shrill growl.

"How dare you approach us in front of the Dongfang Family?"

Mr Dongfang jumped out to try to stop the ghost but realized she couldn’t get close to Chu Wenjun.

Mr Dongfang raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Mr. Chu’s fate is indeed peculiar, ghosts can’t touch him?"

Dongfang Hong said, "Since I first saw Mr. Chu, I noticed his fate was unusual. This kind of fate surrounded by purple aura is indeed one of great wealth."

"Hahahaha!"

Yu Nianzhao laughed out loud, clutching her belly.

"What are you laughing at?"

Mr Lin, now extremely sensitive, looked at Yu Nianzhao with resentment, fearing she’d do something outlandish again.

"Of course, I’m laughing at Chu Wenjun."

Yu Nianzhao wiped the tears from her eyes resulting from laughter, her lips still curled in a smile, but her gaze held a terrifying chill, "I laugh because not only are his hands stained with so many lives, but to survive, he even stole others’ fate. It’s truly unforgivable!"

Yu Nianzhao’s words were like a thunderbolt, almost striking everyone into shock.

Chu Wenjun’s pupils suddenly contracted, looking at Yu Nianzhao in disbelief.

He never imagined Yu Nianzhao could see through him.

Dongfang Hong furrowed his brow and questioned, "You mean, his fate was stolen from someone else?"

Mr Dongfang said in surprise, "Family Head, could you see that? I couldn’t tell it was a stolen fate."

Dongfang Hong shook his head, "A fate surrounded by purple aura is very rare. In all of Shangjing, you can count on one hand. Never seen it on anyone else before, except for the Emperor and Chu Wenjun."

"Just because you’ve never seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist."

Yu Nianzhao said calmly, "To my knowledge, there’s someone else with this kind of fate."

Dongfang Hong asked, "Who?"

"Not telling you."

Yu Nianzhao stuck out her tongue, "Why should I tell you? One must have manners, after all."

Mr Dongfang angrily retorted, "You girl, our Family Head has eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. What problem is there in telling him? It’s just, Prince Su’s Taiyin Evil was quelled by our Family Head back then."

Implying that, as the future Princess Consort Su, she should be grateful to them.

Yu Nianzhao’s smile faded completely. She sneered coldly, "So what? You say this and expect me and Xie Jiuxiao to thank you? Who gave you the audacity? Do you really think I don’t know, that the Taiyin Evil was forced onto him by you?"
