Chapter 375: Chapter 375: The Death of Master Xu, Qin Ruan’s Rage Ignites

The moment the door to the dark room closed, the room was filled with a brilliant golden light.

The dazzling, sacred light emanated from the Buddha beads clenched tightly in Third Master’s hand.

The light pierced through the door slit and burst out, making it impossible for Huo Chuan and Ling Xuzi standing at the door to ignore it.

Once they heard activity inside, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xuzi’s tightly knitted brows slowly relaxed: "Let’s wait upstairs. I hope Third Master can come out tomorrow."

"He will!" Huo Chuan stared at the door, his tone slightly heavy.

Third Master was plotted against right under their noses — this time, even the Hidden Guards of the Huo Family couldn’t escape the blame.

With heavy hearts, Huo Chuan and Ling Xuzi left the basement.

Returning to the spacious living room, Huo Chuan asked Ling Xuzi, "Third Master didn’t have any direct contact with anyone and even his meals were strictly checked by us. Why was he plotted against?"

Ling Xuzi, adjusting his blood-stained Tang suit, said solemnly: "It is probably because the people Third Master encountered this time belong to the Yin Yang Sect."

Huo Chuan looked confused, exuding a trace of murderous intent: "The Yin Yang Sect?"

Ling Xuzi frowned, his face rather grim: "Yes, it’s a sect from the South Ocean. Their main cultivation is demonic qi. Everyone in the sect deals with demons, many of them sacrifice themselves to demons in exchange for great power. This is different from the Evil Qi we often encounter in the Mystical Sect."

Huo Chuan remembered a few years ago, when Third Master was besieged by nearly a hundred wizards in the US. It was his mysterious power that forced them to retreat, causing more than half of the wizards to be killed or injured.

That time, Third Master had also fallen into a coma.

Because there was no time to return to the country, they left Third Master alone in his room, strictly forbidding anyone to enter.

The next day, Third Master walked out of the room, fully recovered.

Confronted with demonic qi this time, could they still wait for Third Master to walk out of the dark room as if nothing had happened?

Huo Chuan looked rather worried: "How dangerous is demonic qi to Third Master?"

Ling Xuzi shook his head: "We’re not quite sure yet. This time Third Master was plotted against, it should be related to him removing the Buddha beads."

To Third Master, the Buddha beads were crucial, it was his lifesaver, an intrinsic companion since birth.

Huo Chuan recalled every detail that happened in the Nangong family’s house, and said solemnly: "In the Nangong family’s house, when Xu Zhenren wanted to harm Madam, Third Master removed his Buddha beads to block him, and the two had no physical contact."

Without any physical contact, Huo Chuan could not understand how Third Master had been plotted against.

"Let’s wait until Third Master wakes up tomorrow. This time, things don’t look good. Third Master hasn’t entered the dark room for many years. If this continues, his originally not-so-long life expectancy will be..."

At this point, Ling Xuzi gently shook his head, not bearing to finish his sentence.

Huo Chuan could tell what he left unsaid.

Qin Ruan and Huo Yirong walked in, they heard Ling Xuzi and Huo Chuan’s conversation.

"Third Master is alone in the dark room? Can I go in?" Qin Ruan worried about Third Master’s injuries.

"No, you can’t!"

Ling Xuzi, Huo Chuan, and Huo Yirong almost simultaneously said.

Qin Ruan frowned, looking upset: "Why not?"

Without explaining, Huo Yirong softly said to Qin Ruan: "Third brother has special physical conditions. He can’t be disturbed by anyone once he enters the dark room. Sister, please bear with it until tomorrow. Maybe Third Brother will come out by then, and you will be able to see him."

Qin Ruan was still not relieved, remembering the scene of Third Master coughing up blood, it felt like her heart was pricked by a needle, not enough to cause intense pain, but enough to make her heart clench.

Suppressing the discomfort in her heart, she asked anxiously: "Are you sure leaving Third Master alone in the dark room won’t cause any trouble?"

"No, it would be problematic if someone intruded into the dark room and disturbed him."

As soon as Huo Yirong finished speaking, he gestured to his subordinate, who was dragging Xu Zhenren.

The Hidden Guard from the Huo Family who was dragging Xu Zhenren, casually threw him in the hall.

Xu Zhenren’s tongue had been cut, rendering him unable to speak properly, blood spewed everywhere from his mouth. Though not as scary as before, he was still in a sorry state.

Huo Yirong pointed to Xu Zhenren, who was lying on the ground and screaming in pain, and asked Qin Ruan: "Sister, how do you intend to deal with this man?"

Qin Ruan stared intently at Xu Zhenren, her dark eyes gloomy: "Kill him!"

Her cold voice and ruthless words were striking.

Huo Yirong’s handsome face twisted momentarily in confusion: "You brought him back, just to kill him?"

It would have been better to leave him at the Nangong family’s, to let them clean up this mess.

Qin Ruan looked up at Huo Yirong as if she were looking at an idiot: "If I don’t kill him, how would I get him to tell me when Third Master was plotted against?"

Ling Xuzi disagreed and tried to dissuade her: "Lady Qin, killing someone brings karmic retribution. I suggest you think it over carefully."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan sneered: "Third Master was plotted against, vomiting blood right in front of my eyes, and you want me to be careful? When they were plotting against the Third Master, why didn’t they think carefully!"

She looked directly into Ling Xuzi’s eyes, an icy chill spreading from her gaze, with the summer’s thin clothes unable to withstand her cold glare.

Although they had only met briefly, Ling Xuzi could clearly see that despite Qin Ruan’s seemingly docile appearance, she was a ruthless woman.

Her cruelty was not shown book was undeniable when she was angry, as evidenced by the powerful cold aura that emanated from her.

Seeing Qin Ruan’s unwavering determination, Ling Xuzi knew he couldn’t prevent her, and gently shook his head.

Qin Ruan walked over to Xu Zhenren, and in the face of his terrified gaze, she reached out and grabbed his throat.

In her eyes, a dangerous, cold, and gloomy light was emitted, as if she wished to peel off his flesh and bones.

Qin Ruan’s grip grew tighter, her voice ice cold: "I gave you a chance to speak earlier. Now, go to hell!"

She hooked her red lips into an impudent curve, her exquisite face wore an indifferent expression, looking as if she was sneering at every creature in the world.

"Hmm hmm hmm!!"

Master Xu struggled violently, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape from Qin Ruan.

It could be said that he couldn’t escape Qin Ruan’s control at all.

In Qin Ruan’s grasp, Master Xu was like a lamb to the slaughter, his life quickly draining away.

He couldn’t breathe, his blood-covered face twisted and ferocious.

However, before Qin Ruan could deliver a fatal blow to Master Xu, his eyes rolled back, the pupils revealing fear and resentment.

To Qin Ruan’s surprise, he suddenly stopped breathing.

Everyone in the hall who saw this scene thought that Qin Ruan had killed Master Xu.

Only Ling Xuzi saw what was really going on, his well-maintained face showing shock.

He quickly approached Qin Ruan and the lifeless Master Xu.

Ling Xuzi placed his hand on Master Xu’s neck, already void of any signs of life.

Master Xu was dead, thoroughly dead.

Qin Ruan’s eyes darkened, her pretty face extremely ugly, she looked down at the body of Master Xu on the ground, and coldly said word by word, "I did not kill him."

Her tone was calm, simply stating a fact.

Ling Xuzi looked at Qin Ruan complicatedly, nodded, and said, "I understand. It was the people of the Yin Yang Sect who made their move."

"Yin Yang Sect?"

Just like Huo Chuan before, Qin Ruan was not familiar with the Yin Yang Sect of South Ocean.

Ling Xuzi repeated to Qin Ruan what he had said to Huo Chuan before.

After he finished speaking, he looked down at Master Xu’s body, guessing, "With this man dead, it’s likely that the Nangong Family feared we might question him, and asked the Yin Yang Sect to make a move.

I have had dealings with the people of Yin Yang Sect. Every disciple of their sect has a life token, which the sect uses to control the lives of its disciples. In the same way, if a disciple practicing abroad encounters any problems, they can convey it to the Yin Yang Sect through the life token."

Learning that Master Xu’s death was likely due to something the Nangong Family did, Qin Ruan looked down at the corpse beneath her feet with a sarcastic smile.

Fury and malevolence filled her ink-black eyes, "Even in death, I will make him talk!"

Since someone managed to hurt Huo Chuan right under her nose, Qin Ruan had to find out what happened, to figure out the reason.

It was to prevent such an accident from happening to Huo Chuan again.

Qin Ruan activated her Heavenly Eye and searched the room for Master Xu’s soul.

The souls of the recently deceased usually linger in the mortal world and can’t be taken away by the ghost envoys of the Netherworld so quickly.

Qin Ruan’s eyes, emanating a faint golden glow, radiated an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Her beautiful face showed a fierce and ruthless look as she searched the hall for Master Xu’s soul, but she couldn’t find it anywhere.

Huo Yirong came forward and asked curiously, "What are you looking for, sister?"

Qin Ruan replied in a deep voice, "Master Xu’s soul!"

She searched every corner of the living room, but she couldn’t find Master Xu’s soul, which left her truly puzzled.

The reason she brought Master Xu back from the Nangong Family was to force the truth out of him about his plot against Huo Chuan.

Now with the man dead and his soul nowhere to be found, it seemed like all her efforts had been in vain.

Qin Ruan couldn’t accept this, her hands clenched tightly into fists.

Suddenly, a proud, cold smile appeared on her face, and a chill aura sprung up around her.

The unsettling coldness spread and grew, pressuring everyone present.

Huo Yirong, being the closest to Qin Ruan, couldn’t help but touch her forearm, which was exposed from under her sleeve.

The air grew anomalously cold, giving off a chilling and eerie vibe.

With her eyes closed tightly, Qin Ruan’s red lips slightly opened, "Yama of the Tenth Court taught me to kill ghosts, bestowed me divine dirks, who dares resist my order, no god or ghost can stand, Yama of the Tenth Court command urgently as divine order!"

With each word Qin Ruan uttered, Ling Xuzi’s facial expression could no longer maintain its calm.

His eyes widened in shock as he stared at Qin Ruan, exclaiming in awe, "Yama of the Tenth Court Decree!"

Nobody in the room knew about the Yama of the Tenth Court Decree. They only felt their bodies enveloped in coldness and an urge to escape.

However, they found their feet heavy like lead, unable to move at all.

They were like people whose pressure points had been hit, staying rooted at their spots without a chance of moving.

The living room was filled with an unnerving and potent aura of darkness, colder and stronger than any field Qin Ruan had ever invoked when summoning Netherworld envoys.

Ling Xuzi, Huo Yirong, Huo Chuan, Huo Zhi, and others were surrounded by a dense black fog.

They were in the middle of this chilling black mist, unable to see anything with their eyes but hearing chains dragging on the ground coming from the darkness.

The sound was gruesome and strange, causing a chill to rise from the bottom of their hearts.

It was as if they were being surrounded by the breath of death. Everyone started to get goosebumps from the rush of coldness crawling up their backs.

"Miss Qin, what’s the matter?"

Two tall figures emerged from the darkness.
