Then, the hidden ghost and the zombie worms found out that Zhang Yuan was about to die. They tried their best to chase away the people in the haunted house and fooled the “masters” who came to eliminate the ghosts just to protect Zhang Yuan.
When Yun Qin arrived, they tried the same thing. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan woke up from his deep sleep and had to face the dangerous Yun Qin face-to-face.
“Are you sure that you will die today?”
Yun Qin was very moved after hearing Zhang Yuan’s story. However, when she remembered that she was the only one who could find Zhang Yuan and kill him, she began to doubt the accuracy of Zhang Yuan’s prediction.
“Yes, when I saw you, I knew that I would be killed by you.” Zhang Yuan twirled his beard. He calmed down when he saw that the little girl in front of him did not mean to harm him.
“What?” Yun Qin was immediately shocked. In her mind, she thought that as long as she did not make a move, Zhang Yuan would not die.
“And I also wanted to predict your fate, but it’s very strange, my readings are telling me that you are already dead.” Zhang Yuan continued, circling Yun Qin. He added, “But you look like a living person.”
She signed a confidentiality agreement with Hades so she could not reveal anything about her to the ghosts. Yun Qin was very troubled, so she pretended not to hear the old man’s puzzled voice and asked instead, “Why did you take the souls of those two people?”
Upon hearing Yun Qin’s words, the hidden ghost shook its head again and its voice became louder, “No! I don’t know!”
However, when Zhang Yuan heard that, he pondered for a few seconds and said hesitantly, “When I was sleeping, I think there were two things that came in...I’ll go take a look.”
After saying that, Zhang Yuan went into the mirror and disappeared.
Yun Qin sighed. It seemed that the reason why Zhang Yuan was trapped here was that he turned into a mirror ghost and could only rely on mirrors to move. He lived in the mirrors.
Zhang Yuan’s identity was also the reason why his evil energy was able to coexist with his Taoist abilities.
He was a very rare ghost.
After a while, Zhang Yuan emerged from the mirror again and said, “So it’s them. I’ve found them.”
In Zhang Yuan’s hands, there were two transparent sleeping human souls.
It seemed that these were the souls of the two unlucky people who turned into vegetables. Yun Qin heaved a sigh of relief. She took the two souls, wrapped them in black smoke, and sent them out of the window.
As expected, after the two souls left the building, they regained their consciousness and floated away to find their masters.
Now that the truth was out and the ghosts were not evil, Yun Qin did not intend to attack them. Looking at Zhang Yuan, who had a kind look on his face, Yun Qin smiled and said, “I have a way to break your binds so you can come to this world and take a look. Are you willing to try?”
When Zhang Yuan heard that, he was delighted. “Really? I’ve always been...”
However, Yun Qin saw the old man’s mouth moving but she could no longer hear any sounds. First, she saw that Zhang Yuan’s expression became very surprised, then she saw the greedy ghost rush in, anxiously looking for something
The scene turned black. After feeling her soul detach from her body, she appeared in the middle of a gloomy hall.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Yun Qin fell silent.
Did she return to Hades’ Palace?
She was a human again, why did she come back?
For a moment, Yun Qin could not help but wonder whether her experience after being reborn was just an illusion.
Just as Yun Qin was feeling extremely nervous, a huge figure walked out from behind the door.
He was the person in charge of the entire underworld, the manager of all the ghosts, Hades.
Yun Qin was still unable to look directly at Hades’s figure. She hunched her back nervously, waiting for Hades to ask her a question.
Did she do something wrong that made Hades want to take back her chance to avenge herself?
However, she heard Hades’ voice reverberating in the hall, “Do you know the reason why I gave you this ability?”
Yun Qin was shocked. She was frightened by Hades’s intimidating might and knelt down. Although Hades wanted her to absorb the evil energy from the ghosts in the world, she did not know the reason behind it. She could only answer honestly, “I don’t know.”
Not hearing Hades’ words, Yun Qin was afraid that Hades wanted to take back her human identity and she would not be able to avenge her family. She gritted her teeth and said boldly, “Please forgive my stupidity, my Lord. I returned to the human world only to revenge my father and brother who were harmed by the Chen mother-daughter duo.”
Even if she had to immediately return to Hell and become a ghost after completing her revenge, she was still willing.
