Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Anyone who kills must pay with their life, this is a timeless rule

Qin Ruan may have never dealt with a corpse nor a puppet transformation, but her inner strength made dealing with such tricks a piece of cake.

"Mu Qing, I advise you to stop wasting your energy, you’re no match for me."

Qin Ruan spoke words of deterrence, but her actions didn’t slow down one bit.

With the lift of her delicate fingers came a spread of a dark blue flame, eerily ominous.

Hellfire, the arch-nemesis of all demons and specters.

Mu Qing had gone mad; she was determined to go down with Qin Ruan, and there was no way she would stop now.

Her soul appeared beast-like, terrifying and horrifying, leaving no trace of her past human form.

Thick, dark mist wrapped around her, and the Evil Qi soared into the sky.

As she lunged at Qin Ruan, she first felt the chilling assault of the puppet’s Evil Qi.

Before the imminent crisis, Hellfire wrapped around Mu Qing as quickly as a lightning strike.

"Ah ah ah ..."

The agonizing wail was so intense it could flip a roof, reflecting the unimaginable pain Mu Qing was experiencing.

Despite being engulfed in flames, she continued her attack on Qin Ruan, only pausing momentarily before charging at her again.

Her speed had considerably reduced from before.

Qin Ruan sternly warned, "Mu Qing, if you take a step further, I’ll wipe you off the face of the earth!"

"I will kill you! Even in death, I will drag you down with me!"

Mu Qing was driven by hatred, charging forth brazenly.

Qin Ruan stopped holding back, revealing her Golden Whip, and lashed it out with a punishing strike onto Mu Qing.

"Smack!"

"Ah ah ah ..."

The whip struck Mu Qing’s grotesque soul body, doubling her pain.

The combined powers of Hellfire and Nether Divine Power left her barely able to fend for herself, unable to advance any further.

As Qin Ruan squinted her eyes, weighing whether to obliterate her or have an Underworld Envoy escort her to the Netherworld, she noticed something amiss.

She had been dealing with Mu Qing for a while now, yet Su Zijia hadn’t intervened.

Confused, Qin Ruan turned to look at him.

Su Zijia sat on the ground, stunned and disoriented, his eyes fixated on Mu Qing with no reaction, leaving Qin Ruan to wonder what he was thinking.

Qin Ruan gave a soft sigh, having made her decision.

She drew back her Nether Divine Power-driven Golden Whip.

Her gaze landed on Mu Qing, still being tormented by the pain.

The Nether Divine Power reached out, enveloping the dense Evil Qi around Mu Qing, consciously flowing into Qin Ruan’s body.

Starting as thin threads, it gradually formed into a dense pillar.

After a while, Mu Qing’s Evil Qi had been completely absorbed.

Mu Qing returned to her original appearance, and even her injuries did not look as severe as before.

But that was only superficial, her real injuries lay deep within her soul.

Withdrawing her power, Qin Ruan parted her lips slightly to call upon an Underworld Envoy.

"As commanded by the ten kings of Yama, I kill evil spirits. With their divine teachings and power, who are the gods and demons who dare oppose me? Carry out the order swiftly and eliminate the wicked!"

A strong, dazzling golden light surged from her body.

This golden radiance instantly enveloped Qin Ruan and Mu Qing.

Those standing outside the circle of golden light found it blinding and shut their eyes involuntarily.

When they opened their eyes again, they were enveloped in utter darkness.

There was an odd sound in the darkness.

It sounded like something was being dragged along the floor, making clanking noises.

The atmosphere suddenly turned chilly, and a bit more cold than usual.

The room was filled with a rich aura of coldness, which sent chills all over one’s body.

"No! I don’t want to! You all let me go!"

"Ahhh...."

Mu Qing’s piercing and strident voice echoed in the dark.

"Evil Puppet, surrender now! Follow us to Hell!"

The low, guttural voice that sent chills down one’s spine rang out.

The voice seemed to resonate right beside everyone’s ear, clear and authoritative.

Even Lun Wenbin and Qiao Nanyuan, both being Heavenly Masters, couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

"I don’t want to! Ahhhh...."

"Brother, save me, save me!! Wuu wuu wuu...."

Mu Qing’s struggling voice gradually became helpless and hoarse.

In the darkness, the sound of chains hitting the ground echoed loudly.

"Qingqing!!!"

Su Zijia, who had fallen into darkness, finally snapped out from his daze as the despairing cries of his sister rang in his ears.

He struggled to his feet, reaching out blindly in the dark.

The darkness receded, and the living room brightened again.

Only Qin Ruan was left in the center of the room.

Standing tall and proud, the light fell on her, casting a perfect silhouette.

The soft play of light and shadow softened her cold appearance.

"Where’s Qingqing?"

Su Zijia stumbled up to Qin Ruan, his eyes glowing red with desperate fright.

Qin Ruan spoke indifferently, "She went where she was meant to go."

"Why did you do this?" Su Zijia’s spirit wavered, his hopeful eyes gradually dimming.

"Those who kill must pay with their lives. This is an unchanging truth!"

In this reincarnation, even if Qin Ruan despised someone deeply, she would never take a life lightly.

Killing carried karmic retribution.

Killing for the sake of momentary satisfaction was a poor decision, only allowing the loved ones of the deceased to feel pain and enemies to rejoice.

Knowing that his sister had been sent to the Netherworld, Su Zijia was seething with hatred.

"Pay with their lives for killing? What about those who killed her?!" he shouted angrily.

Qin Ruan responded with a cold edge to her voice, "Your sister had also killed her nemesis!"

"But they didn’t all die!"

"Karma goes in cycles, they will naturally pay for what they’ve done."

Qin Ruan frowned, pitying Su Zijia, "Your sister has already entered the Netherworld, it’s your turn next."

"Me?" Su Zijia looked dazed.

"You are a puppet and should not remain here."

Su Zijia sneered, "I never harmed anyone, why must I enter the Netherworld? Once I’m in the Netherworld to be reincarnated, will I still be me?"

"The cycle of life and death is inevitable."

Su Zijia declined Qin Ruan’s proposal with silence.

Qin Ruan didn’t understand his determination, but she felt pity for him.

"A hundred years ago, you had accumulated good karma, which protected you even after death. But in recent years, you’ve never stopped your sister from killing. You even let Mu Qing escape after killing by using your clean aura. You watched her mercilessly slaughter the innocent, you’re an accomplice! This sin has balanced out your past good deeds. It’s time for you to be reincarnated in the Netherworld. This is your final destination. You can live freely in the next life, not imprisoned like you are now. Don’t you want this kind of life?"

"Hahaha...." Su Zijia threw his head back and laughed.

He began to laugh, but as he did, his sorrow was painfully visible, and blood tears streamed down his face.

"Have you ever experienced it when, at the most desperate time in your life, you encounter a light that saved you?"

Qin Ruan squinted slightly, her face remaining impassive.

Su Zijia: "At the most desperate time in my life, I met Qingqing. She was like a beam of light that illuminated my life. My world was dark, but she was warm and clean, purifying the filth in my heart when I was in the troughs of life."

"I know she’s selfish, but I’m willing to be sacrificed for her selfishness. She’s a girl living under the sunlight, so pure and splendid. I want her to stay clean and warm forever..."

Qin Ruan interrupted him coldly, "Perhaps when you first met her, she was indeed a good girl, but now her inner darkness is something you can’t imagine."
