Xi Sang saw the female ghost approach him and screamed in fear, he got to his knees and kowtowed while begging for mercy. He did not want to die! He did not want to die!

" Master Song!" Yang Si screamed at Song Yan asking for her help. Finally, Song Yan decided to make a move, she originally wanted to leave the matter in the hands of Shen Yu, thinking that she would be able to at least injure that malicious spirit but she never thought that Shen Yu would be this useless.

Forget about injuring the malicious spirits, that woman was pretending to faint!

In fact, she wanted to leave Xi Sang alone for a few minutes as this man needed quite a strict lesson. If Xi Sang had listened to her and Assistant Xi then nothing like this would have happened to him but he just had to make trouble by going against them.

However, she could see that Xi Zheng truly worried about his second brother and nephew. Since Assistant Xi had helped Fu Yu Sheng a lot of time in the past, Song Yan decided to save the lives of the Xi father and son pair.

She strode inside the cottage and then took out a talisman before throwing it at Lady Yan who raised her large and sharp claws to dig the insides of Xi Sang out.

This time the talisman which was aimed at Lady Yan was not a minor one. The S-grade talisman glowed before splitting itself into minor fragments which interlocked into golden chains and then wrapped itself around the malicious ghost who howled in agony as the golden chains burned into its fragments.

Song Yan took out her scythe and summoned Ceribi before asking the three-headed dog to attack the ghost and keep it busy. She had carefully studied the network created by this ghost and thus, she knew that this woman was not just a single soul but a compilation of many evil spirits which were killed together at the same time.

With her yin and yang eyes activated, she searched for the core of the evil spirit before finding it at the back of her neck. Song Yan raised her scythe in the air and then without even batting an eye, swiped the sharp blade at the back of the evil ghost.

The powerful attack caused the evil spirit to scream in agony, it tried to escape but Song Yan did not give it a chance, she snapped her fingers and then left the matter to Ceribi who opened his three mouths and blew a raging fire at the ghost causing it to burn and scatter into millions of dark particles.

" You did a good job," she praised Ceribi who harrumphed at her before turning to show the jade pendant that he snatched from the ghost when it fell just now.

Song Yan arched a brow and then picked up the jade pendant from Ceribi's mouth.

Immortal jade? No wonder this woman was able to hide her true self without any problem. It was because she was using an immortal jade. Though it looked like any ordinary jade, immortal jade was something that those who ascended to the heavens refined and wore in the eras where celestial beings dominated the surface of the earth.

A jade no matter how low quality it was as long as it was refined by an Immortal, it will hold immeasurable power and would even raise the cultivation of a person. No wonder the female ghost was able to raise her cultivation level without any trouble.

" Husband!"

" Junxi!" N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Once Song Yan dealt with the ghost, Xi Zheng and Yang Si ran inside the cottage and surrounded Xi Junxi who was tied to the iron pole.

When Xi Zheng saw the pitiful situation of his brother he felt guilty and blamed himself but Xi Junxi stopped him as he lowered his head and shed a few tears, " This is what I owe our sister, Brother Zheng. Don't feel sorry."

At first Xi Zheng did not understand what Xi Junxi said or maybe he did not want to understand but as he followed Xi Junxi's line of sight, his gaze fell on the chopped-off head of his sister and a mournful howl escaped his mouth.

This .. How did this happen?

" Meiqing!" Xi Zheng rushed to the head which was half rotten and cradled it into his arms while shedding tears of anger and frustration.

Song Yan calmly surveyed the surroundings and then turned her attention to Shen Yu who was pretending to be unconscious. With a curl of her lips, she walked towards Shen Yu and then crouched down before saying in a low voice, " Just how long are you going to pretend? I mean if you think that I am going to pick you up and take you back then you are wrong. I am leaving you here."

She did not have any sympathy towards the Xi family, if anything it was their fault from the beginning. Though she regretted what happened to Xi Meiqing and her family there was no point in feeling guilty about something that did not have anything to do with her.

Seeing that Shen Yu was still pretending, Song Yan raised her finger and placed it on the forehead of the woman. She commented, " You are the reason why this family lost their sister and almost lost their lives as well, shouldn't you take responsibility, Master Shen?"

With a jolt Shen Yu woke up when she felt electricity flow inside her body, she rubbed her forehead and muttered an Oww causing the Xi Family to turn and look at Shen Yu with furious expressions.

Especially, Xi Sang whose stomach was bleeding. His face twisted uncontrollably as he looked at Shen Yu who was perfectly fine, she wasn't injured in the slightest and her clothes were completely clean with just a little bit of dust on them. Clearly, this woman did not even try to save them just now! She wanted to leave them on their own devices!
