Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Yin and Yang Clash, Destinies Counteract, Great Misfortune!

Qin Ruan’s eyes churned with intense, suppressed swirls as she stared at the message from Master Hui Cheng, her heart steadily sinking.

What was the truth behind Lan An’s statement about emerging from the ground after three years?

Why did the third master have the Nether Buddha Beads? At that moment stirred by Lan An, the dense scent of death emanating from him was overwhelmingly oppressive, and the fierce aura of slaughter made her shudder all over.

It wasn’t the power she feared; it was something uncontrollable, with everything developing in a worse direction.

At this moment, Master Hui Cheng informed her that the Nether Buddha Beads were the Fengdu Emperor’s lifebound treasure, capable of initiating a reversal of time.

The various mysteries surrounding Huo Third Master, along with his resolute disbelief in reincarnation, gradually made Qin Ruan suspect that he might indeed be the identity of the Fengdu Emperor.

But why would a supreme deity of the Netherworld be entangled with her?

Could there be some misunderstanding involved?

Perhaps sensing Qin Ruan’s bewilderment, Master Hui Cheng sent another message.

Right and Wrong Turn to Emptiness: [Qin benefactor, you should comply with your destiny, go with the flow, everything is predestined, seize the moment, and cherish those around you.]

Qin Ruan wasn’t sure what mindset she was in when she replied: [What if I don’t?]

Right and Wrong Turn to Emptiness: [If you do not, there will be no second chances to start over after suffering and things will develop in an even worse direction.]

Before Qin Ruan could ponder deeply, Master Hui Cheng sent an audio clip.

She lightly tapped her fingertips, and his ethereal, indifferent voice came through the phone’s speaker.

"Qin benefactor, why cling to the forgotten past, which merely binds you and adds to your troubles? Focus more on what you currently possess, live in the present, isn’t that what you’ve always pursued?"

Qin Ruan pressed the screen and spoke, "Master Hui Cheng, it seems you also know things I am unaware of."

She couldn’t help but associate Master Hui Cheng with Lan An, Changyuan, Hu Yixian, and others.

Master Hui Cheng sent another voice message: "I once did a divination for Qin benefactor, the hexagram showed yin and yang clashing, a sign of destiny mutually defeating each other, extremely ominous! Observing the chaotic and uneven arrangement, ’benefit disperses like birds without prey,’ it can be deduced that this belongs to a catastrophic calamity unseen for a thousand years, indeed bearing disastrous consequences. Alas!

If Qin benefactor does not wish for your family to be implicated, please stop. In the world of Mysterious Studies, my divinations may not be 100 percent accurate, but nine out of ten never fail."

Qin Ruan listened and did not respond for a long time.

She lowered her head to watch the phone screen go dark, not noticing Huo Zhi frequently glancing at her with unease and worry on his face.

After an unknown amount of time, the phone screen lit up again.

Qin Ruan’s fingers uncontrollably tapped it open; it was another text from Master Hui Cheng.

Right and Wrong Turn to Emptiness: [Qin benefactor, you should find time to visit Nanyin Temple, Jingshao Mountain has a peaceful environment and fresh air, it’s a good place to relax.]

After reading the message, Qin Ruan slowly replied with a "Good" and sent it.

However, she did not have the group stop investigating Xia Yunchen.

Some things can be left to nature, but it didn’t hinder her from being prepared beforehand to avert disasters.

Huo Zhi steadily stopped the car, turned around, and cautiously said, "Madam, we’ve arrived."

During the ride, he sensed the fluctuating aura around Qin Ruan, sometimes angry, sometimes troubled, sometimes conflicted, and occasionally, an inadvertent murderous intent, though it was unclear whom it was directed at.

Qin Ruan looked up at the window, the stone pillars of the Qin Family gate caught her eyes.

Without a word, she pushed open the car door, stepped out, and looked around the grand Qin Family villa.

When she came with the third master in the morning, everything here was normal, but now it was enshrouded with a dense grudge.

The grudge of those who died a violent death was thick, and after seven days, their consciousness gradually returned, transforming into fierce Puppet Souls that entangled with people they recognized from life.

Qin Ruan suspected that her eldest brother’s secretary, Sister Liao Yu, had arrived.

Of course, these were her speculations; only seeing her second brother with her own eyes would clarify the facts.

Qin Ruan walked through the Qin Family gate, her fingertips swirling with Nether Power to cleanse the Evil Qi along the way.

"Meow meow meow—"

The cat cries of Xueqiu came from the second floor.

Qin Ruan followed the sounds, the grudge and Evil Qi growing denser.

She stood at the door of Qin Mei’s bedroom, raising her hand to knock, "Second brother?"

"Ruanruan?!"

The astonished cry of Qin Mei came through the door.

Qin Ruan said, "It’s me."

Sounds of things falling and hurried scurrying came from inside the room.

With a click, the door was opened from the inside, and a surge of dense grudge and Evil Qi rushed out.

Qin Ruan’s deep eyes looked past the opening Qin Mei, surveying inside, and immediately saw a blood-covered Puppet Soul standing in the corner.

The Puppet Soul, realizing Qin Ruan’s gaze, suddenly turned around, its shattered face looking terrifying.

The Puppet Soul’s eyeballs hung on her cheeks, out of their sockets, and black-red blood flowed from her eye sockets, corroding her face and clothes, the blood dripping onto the floor and corroding it into uneven black holes.

Her eyeless gaze stared straight at Qin Ruan as she slowly floated towards her.

Qin Ruan walked into the room, pulling the trembling Qin Mei, who was holding a cat, behind him, and glared at the approaching menacing Puppet Soul with dark eyes, and parted his red lips, "Sister Liao Yu?"

The floating Puppet Soul stopped and tilted her head to size up Qin Ruan.

As she tilted her head, all the blood on her face flowed towards one side, and even the two bloody, flesh-muddled eyeballs hanging on her cheeks swayed in the emptiness.

"Ahhh... Puppet!!"

Qin Ruan wasn’t scared by the Puppet, but the miserable scream from Qin Mei behind him made his scalp tingle.

Biting her teeth, she dug at her stunned ears and helplessly glared at Qin Mei, who was holding Xueqiu.

"Second brother, can’t you move a little farther away from me before you scream?"

"I can’t move my feet." Qin Mei stretched out his hand, tremblingly pointing forward, "I think I saw her, right there, correct?"

Qin Ruan followed the direction of his finger, which coincidentally was where Liao Yu was.

She looked at Qin Mei strangely, her gaze moved down, staring at Xueqiu in his arms, "Weren’t you holding the cat before?"

Qin Mei, with a crying tone in his voice, said, "No, I was scared. I’ve been holding it for too long, and I might see unclean things."

Xueqiu was a Cat Demon; him holding the cat connected his spirit-seeing ability, making it a normal occurrence to see unclean things.

Qin Ruan rubbed her temple and said to the blood-dressed female Puppet standing not far away, "Could you revert to your appearance before death? It seems that you died wrongly since you are wrapped in resentment.

"Since you’ve come seeking something, we can sit down and talk nicely. We know each other and I’ll definitely help you if I can, but please, Sister Liao Yu, don’t scare us like this. My second brother has a weak heart; if you frighten him too much and something happens to him, then no one can help you."

She spoke courteously, but the underlying threat was not hard to hear.

The female Puppet, upon hearing this, almost instantaneously reverted to her poised, elite appearance prior to her death.

Her long hair was pinned up at the back of her head, exposing a clean, full forehead, her face wore a light, exquisite makeup.

Her black business suit outlined her slender waist, a white shirt tucked into a black business skirt, and her legs, clad in black stockings and wearing four to five-inch high heels, accentuated her tall, enchanting figure.

This was a dashing, confident, independent, and intelligent modern woman, an envy of many women.

Liao Yu, fixing the stray hair by her ear, calmly said to Qin Ruan, "Miss Qin, I didn’t expect you to see me."

Qin Ruan, noticing the fine lines at the corner of her eyes, asked in a light tone, "I’m curious, Sister Liao Yu, why did you seek out my second brother?"

Logically, the Qin Family’s relationship with her was solely that of employment; even if Liao Yu wanted help, it shouldn’t have been the second brother, but the eldest brother, who she often was with.

Liao Yu was straightforward, directly stating, "The Cat by the second young master can see me. I want revenge, to send the murderer who killed me to prison."

Her tone was sinister, each word carried an indescribable hatred.

The longer Qin Mei held Xueqiu, the clearer Liao Yu’s blurry figure became. Hearing her mention the murderer, he suppressed his fear and angrily demanded, "Who killed you?"

Liao Yu’s pale face darkened, her eyes glinting ferociously, "Qi Ling."

"Brother Ling?!" Qin Mei’s expression changed drastically.

"It’s that beast!"

Liao Yu’s eyes flashed with bloodlight, her body overflowing with thick Black Evil Energy, showing signs of transforming into a menacing Puppet Soul.

Qin Ruan tilted her head and asked Qin Mei, "Who is that?"

Qin Mei, grinding his teeth, said, "Qi Ling was Sister Liao Yu’s husband; they married right after graduation and have been married for ten years. I never thought that bastard could be a murderer!"

In his mind, Qi Ling was a good-looking man with handsome features and a gentle demeanor.

Still, since Liao Yu said it was him who killed her, Qin Mei didn’t doubt it for a second.

Because Liao Yu’s relationship with the Qin Family was closer than with Qi Ling.

Qin Ruan’s heart suddenly throbbed, and she thought uneasily about what Lan An said about her relentless feud with the third master.

She suppressed the unease in her heart and asked Liao Yu, "You were husband and wife, why would he kill you? Was it over property or a marital dispute?"

Liao Yu’s eyes abruptly filled with a red glow, and her voice turned chilling, "Neither, that beast contracted a virus that starts with the letter ’A’!"

Her business suit gradually disintegrated; her clothing spread with bright blood colors, and even her eyeballs seemed to bulge out of their sockets.

Qin Ruan’s eyes widened, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly.

Qin Mei: "....Damn!"

He instinctively stepped back, his heart still thumping as he glanced at the ground, at the pockmarked floor corroded by the black blood.

What Qin Mei feared wasn’t just Liao Yu’s transformation, but also the disease that starts with ’A’ she mentioned.

That was AIDS, a terrible disease transmitted through blood.

The following words from Liao Yu left the siblings astounded and their worlds turned upside down.

"Qi Ling didn’t just kill me, he also killed a second-year master’s student. She was also a victim. He was entangled with many women, those girls had no idea he was married, their lives are already ruined.

That beast harmed many people, and when he could no longer conceal his actions, we planned to put him away, but ended up being counter-killed and pushed down the building by them."

Qin Ruan picked up on the key point and asked in a heavy voice, "Them?"

Liao Yu bitterly said, "Yes, them! They are a group of beasts, devils proud to ruin every victim and boast about it."

Her hands clenched tightly into fists, her body brimming with hatred and Evil Qi that she couldn’t suppress, tears of blood streaming from her eyes.
