Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Swearing by the Emperor of Northern Fengdu, Never to Deceive

Their level of similarity was only about two or three points.

If you really wanted to compare, aside from the contours of their face and the shape of the nose, there weren’t any other significant resemblances.

After absorbing the Puppet woman’s Evil Qi, Qin Ruan tossed her aside with a palm.

She wanted to ask Huang Biao whether the woman who had been his lover and the red-clothed sinister figure that appeared in her dream, were this Puppet woman in front of her.

However, she saw Huang Biao has already fainted at the door.

Upon seeing the gruesome, flesh-and-blood appearance of the woman Puppet, Huang Biao was already terrified into unconsciousness.

"Tsk," Qin Ruan looked at Huang Biao with disdain.

This man’s cowardice was even more speechless than her second brother.

The red-clothed woman Puppet attacked Qin Ruan again.

"I want to kill you!"

Her voice was no longer hoarse, but carried the clarity of a young girl.

Qin Ruan, who had already absorbed the Evil Qi, was too lazy to engage in a protracted battle with her.

This time, as the woman Puppet charged, Qin Ruan forcefully grabbed her hair, pressing her against the back of a nearby sofa.

Just as she tried to stretch out her regenerating flesh and blood hand to grab at Qin Ruan’s face, a golden light emanated from Qin Ruan’s body, inhibiting the woman Puppet’s movements.

Qin Ruan held the woman Puppet by the hair, tilting her head back.

She said impatiently, "Don’t seek death. If I wanted to kill you and scatter your ashes, it would be as easy as turning my hand!"

The woman Puppet’s pale face twisted, overflowing with resentment: "Sooner or later I will be reduced to ashes, may as well take someone with me!"

Her resolute attitude made Qin Ruan curious.

A puppet who was not afraid to be reduced to ashes?

Qin Ruan let go of the woman Puppet’s neck, her Nether Power restraining the other party was also retracted.

She wanted to ask about what was really going on.

However, as soon as the woman Puppet recovered her freedom, she attacked Qin Ruan again.

This time, Qin Ruan choked her neck at an extremely fast speed.

She entirely lost her patience, her tone icy: "Considering that you are a female Puppet, I’ve already given you enough face; don’t push your luck!"

Qin Ruan, with her icy gaze looking down on the woman Puppet, a chilly glint flashed in her eyes, and the ruthless Evil Qi she emitted was several times denser than that of the woman Puppet.

She didn’t like being challenged over and over again.

It felt really bad.

This time, Qin Ruan truly harbored killing intent towards the woman Puppet, her grip on the puppet’s neck getting tighter and tighter.

The woman in the red cloth was unable to make any sound.

"Sister!"

A stranger’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Qin Ruan, feeling a danger approaching, immediately protected her stomach and disappeared from where she had been standing.

A residual image flashed in front of her eyes.

It was Lin Hao, rushing towards the red-clothed woman Puppet.

He stood in front of the woman Puppet, his cold and determined face showing worry and heartache.

"Sister, are you okay?!"

The red clothed woman Puppet saw him as if she had seen a savior.

Her pale hands clamped Lin Hao’s arm hard, "I’m fine, I won’t die."

Without the protection of Evil Qi, and suppressed by Qin Ruan with Nether Divine Power, the woman Puppet’s soul was weak and feeble.

She could only lean against Lin Hao for support.

Qin Ruan stared at Lin Hao with an inexplicably cold gaze, "Who are you?!"

Lin Hao, assisting the red-clothed woman Puppet, looked back at Qin Ruan with an angry gaze.

"You, as a Heavenly Master, dare to humiliate us who can’t enter the cycle of reincarnation and can only wait for our souls to scatter in this world. Just relying on your ability to wantonly kill us."

Qin Ruan laughed out of anger, "We are not enemies, if it weren’t because you harm the innocent, I wouldn’t be here today.

You bring about your own destruction, your ability to bite back is really eye-opening!"

Lin Hao roared, "We didn’t!"

Qin Ruan’s gaze was mocking, "How did Huang Mao die? Who devoured Huang Biao’s Yang Qi? Dare to say these have nothing to do with you?!"

She hooked the corner of her lips, as if scoffing at his ignorance.

Lin Hao looked vicious and ferocious, "They deserved death, Huang Mao insulted my sister!"

Qin Ruan’s eyes were pitch black, a sharp light flashed deep in her eyes.

"What about Huang Biao? Was your sister willing? Why did you want to kill him completely?"

Lin Hao angrily retorted, "He offended someone, we were also..."

"Xiaoguang!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the red-clothed woman Puppet.

Qin Ruan’s face showed an impatient expression.

From the words of the man Puppet who was on Lin Hao’s body, she could guess that the matter of Huang Biao was not simple.

"I’ll give you a chance, explain things clearly. I can still send you to reincarnation. Otherwise, I will make your souls scatter in advance!"

In Qin Ruan’s cold eyes an icy chill, her face looked intimidating.

Her aura was wild and flamboyant, revealing her ruthless power.

It was already late.

After solving this matter with Huang Biao, she should go home.

Otherwise, her Third Grandfather would worry about her again.

Lin Hao, with an expression that said "you think I’m a fool," rejected her coldly, "You are just a little Heavenly Master, not an appointed human in the mortal world, you want to deceive us? Wishful thinking!"

He seemed to understand the profession of being a Heavenly Master well.

The red-clothed woman Puppet also clearly didn’t believe Qin Ruan’s words.

Qin Ruan raised her brow slightly, "How do you know I’m not an appointed human?"

Lin Hao let out a cold laugh, "This continental territory hasn’t seen an appointed human for hundreds of years. Otherwise, why would there be so many demons causing chaos everywhere!"

Qin Ruan nodded thoughtfully, "You make a good point."

"Hmph, a hypocritical liar!"

Lin Hao didn’t believe Qin Ruan, but when he saw Qin Ruan nod, a trace of disappointment showed on his pale face.

Qin Ruan’s eyes flashed with a fragmented glow, her aura changed drastically.

"It seems that you people prefer to drink punishment than toast."

As soon as her voice fell, she appeared in front of the red-clothed woman Puppet and Lin Hao.

The Golden Whip made of her Nether Power wrapped around Lin Hao’s neck.

Qin Ruan pulled back forcefully, bringing the figure into the foreground.

Her face was dark and menacing. She snarled, "Get out of his body now!"

Her slender, white fingers touched Lin Hao’s forehead.

A cloud of black mist burst from his body.

"Aaaaah!!!"

A horrified scream followed.

"Xiaoguang!"

The red-clothed female puppet rushed forward, her arms enveloping the dense cloud of Evil Qi.

In a matter of moments, the dark mist took the form of a wandering soul.

It was a handsome male puppet, similar in appearance to the red-clothed female puppet.

Qin Ruan put away the Golden Whip, and the unconscious Lin Hao collapsed on the ground.

As Lin Hao’s body made contact with the ground, Qin Ruan lifted her foot to cushion the fall, lessening the pain of impact.

It was a while before Lin Hao would regain consciousness.

Qin Ruan’s dark eyes fell on the brother-sister pair opposite her. Her dominance emitted a chilly aura, sending shivers down the spines of those present.

She stepped over Lin Hao’s collapsed form, approaching the pair of puppets.

"If you wish to court death, I’ll happily oblige," she threatened.

The Golden Whip, engraved with the flowers of the Netherworld, consciously flew out of Qin Ruan’s hand.

With the speed of a phantom, the whip soared toward the two puppets.

Sensing the formidable force emanating from the Golden Whip, the pair of puppets fled in different directions.

However, no matter how fast they ran, they couldn’t outrun the speed of the Nether Divine Power.

The Golden Whip entangled their bodies.

"Thud!"

With an acceleration of the Golden Whip, the two puppets collided.

Qin Ruan walked towards them, her expression calm and chilly.

As she scrutinized the red-clothed female puppet and male puppet, her eyes were devoid of any emotion, as if looking at already-dead things.

The Evil Qi curling around the male puppet was even stronger than that of the red-clothed female puppet.

This delighted Qin Ruan.

A faint smile curled her lips as she laid her slender finger on the forehead of the male puppet.

The red-clothed female puppet cried out in alarm, "Stop! What are you doing?"

"Aaaaah!!!"

"It hurts, get away, aaaah!!"

Painful, heart-wrenching screams rang out from the male puppet.

Qin Ruan’s method of absorbing the Evil Qi was brutal, completely disregarding the intensity of the puppet’s pain.

In the blink of an eye, she had completely absorbed all the Evil Qi from his body.

The red line on the inside of her arm seemed to be heating up.

This sudden sensation brought a deeper smile to Qin Ruan’s face.

Her lifeline had lengthened!

In high spirits, Qin Ruan decided to give the brother-sister duo another chance.

Her low voice softened, "As long as both of you confess everything, I can send you to reincarnation. Still sure you don’t want to reconsider?"

Qin Ruan had attentively observed this pair’s wandering souls.

Some kind of complex character imprint was marked on their souls.

It was likely the work of the person manipulating them.

The male puppet named Xiaoguang hesitated, "I’ve never heard of a Heavenly Master who can send puppets to reincarnation. Are you not lying to us?"

After his Evil Qi had dissipated, his pale face appeared less vicious. His attitude was more friendly, no longer emitting the violent aura from before.

"I swear by the Ghost Ancestor Emperor Beitai of Fengdu, I will not deceive you."

The moment Qin Ruan uttered these words, the faces of the puppet pair changed dramatically.

They were both shocked and terrified.

The Emperor of Fengdu, the highest god in the Underworld, also known as Emperor Beitai.

He was one of the five puppet emperors worshipped in Taoism and the superior of the ten Yamas.

Emperor Beitai’s duty was to administer over the six puppet gods of the six days of Luo Fengdu, and he was the embodiment of Emperor Ziwei in the Netherworld.

To swear in the name of this supreme god was to gamble with one’s own soul.

Not a single being, mortal or divine, could escape the palm of the Emperor.

All beings in the world, even gods, could be conquered at the Emperor’s will.

If the puppet siblings had harboured doubts about Qin Ruan, by now they’d disappeared entirely.

No one would joke about their own soul.

The siblings knew they were no match for Qin Ruan.

It would be effortless for her to kill them. She didn’t need to pay such a steep price for their sake.

The siblings had enough self-awareness to realize this.

Seeing hope for reincarnation, Xiaoguang’s face lit up with excitement.

"My sister and I used to work at Zhenpin Pavilion."

"Zhenpin Pavilion?"

Qin Ruan’s eyes widened in surprise.

Wasn’t Zhenpin Pavilion owned by the Nangong Family?

That was not a good place to be.

People in Zhenpin Pavilion were those who had offended the Nangong Family and were detained there, deprived of their freedom.

She had visited once before. The well-off men and women in Zhenpin Pavilion all came from wealthy families.

Seeing that Qin Ruan seemed familiar with the place, Xiaoguang solemnly began his tale.

"We were discarded from Zhenpin Pavilion, and during an auction, got sold to a man named Lou Hong. He is a Taoist. He bought us to do his bidding.

To protect my sister, I solved many problems for him, many of which could not have been discovered by human methods.

But this time, he dared to touch my sister, handing her over to Huang Biao."

Xiaoguang paused, his face dark and fierce, as if recalling a memory that drove his emotions wild.

His teeth gritted, his voice chilling, his words mournful, "After it was done, Huang Biao had us thrown out by a thug. When my sister was weak, that thug took advantage of her.

Not only that, he dumped my sister in a dirty alley. Later, several vagabonds appeared..."

At this point, Xiaoguang turned to look at his sister at his side.
