Chapter 406: The Man Behind the Curtain
d lowered it again, just in time to see the squad leader who was driving people out of the private room, standing with his head bowed before a tall man, seemingly explaining something in a low voice.T...As another bullet whizzed past her ear, creating ripples in the air, she didn't flinch. She instantly raised her gun, locked onto the target, and fired three shots in rapid succession. She was absolutely certain she hadn't missed.
Then a ripple of tears glistened in his eyes, and he saw a white soul rising from eight hundred meters away. It floated towards a spot in the forest. The other party seemed dazed, probably still unable to accept the fact that they were dead.
The ripples moved with the drifting spirit, gunshots still echoing in their ears, all coming from the same direction. At this moment, the moon in the sky was completely obscured by clouds, and the forest below plunged into darkness, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
"Could it be that someone is collecting souls"
Ripples had a moment of surprise, then her brow furrowed as she carefully followed the direction in which the soul had vanished.
Closer and closer it got, the ripples heard agonizing howls, terribly shrill and piercing. Then her vision blurred, and her whole body was pulled into a pitch-black void.
Her eyes flashed, and once again it was another dimension. It seemed that the haunted house from three years ago wasn't a coincidence. The evil spirit girl she had released seemed to have found her old master.
These ripples of thought were fleeting, then she grabbed her gun and began to slowly and deliberately search the area. Suddenly, a tall figure entered her line of sight, it was John.
"Sharon, how did you get here I thought I told you to leave first."
John frowned and said.
"I took out the enemy sniper and came over here to meet up with you guys. But then everything went blurry, and now I'm here! What is this place Is it a drug dealer's secret hideout"
The ripples swiftly approached the other side, seemingly without any suspicion of the strangeness of its appearance.
"This is not a drug dealer's secret base, but your grave!"
John grabbed Ripples' wrist with a ferocious expression on his face.
"John, you were a traitor all along!!"
Ripples, atop Sharon's face, roared with fury.
What about the others! What did you do to them
Ripples struggled with all their might, still relentlessly pursuing.
"Take care of yourself first!"
John's other hand clamped down on Ripples' neck, pressing her whole body to the ground.
"Stop it!!! You bastard!!!"
This time, I want you to suffer as much as possible, and then watch you take your last breath! Hahahahaha!
A burst of boisterous laughter erupted from John's mouth.
On the other side, the ripple's hand clasped the one around her neck. Her face changed and she said:
"Though you're stubborn as ever, I will send you back to hell!"
John seemed startled, turning to run, but Ripple's hand clamped onto him like a pair of pliers.
A spiritual essence was placed on John's forehead. After Ripples activated it with her inner power, it immediately began to extract the evil spirit possessing John's body.
Feng Junyi's twisted and terrified face flashed by, his entire soul was absorbed into the Lingmai, then sealed by Lian Yi with a wave of her hand, and thrown back into space.
John lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious. The darkness of the space settled once more into silence.
The ripples gave John a protective charm before slowly opening its mouth, "
"Liang Feng, when you're done looking, come out!"
"Well done, you are truly my most proud disciple!"
In the darkness, a figure slowly coalesced, appearing not far from the ripples. To everyone's astonishment, it was Liang Feng, the master who had supposedly "passed away".
"Well done! I didn't expect to see you again under these circumstances!"
The camouflage on the ripples was slowly fading, returning to its original form.
"You shouldn't be here."
Liang Feng sighed.
"If I don't come, how will the gate be cleaned"
Ripples said nonchalantly, after all, this person wasn't her ancestor Ripples' master.
"Is that all you've got"
"It's just me! Haven't you heard the saying "the blue surpasses the blue"
With a flick of her wrist, Lian's silk ribbon flew out, striking Liang Feng from behind.
"How did this get into your hands"
Liang Feng's figure flashed, dodging the red ribbon's attack. He asked in some surprise.
"Your message was too insensitive. Your biological daughter, Jade Biyao, has already passed away. Naturally, this artifact ended up in my possession. Didn't Liang Gang tell you"
Liàn Yī didn't care about Liáng Fēng dodging, she flipped her wrist and pulled the ribbon back.
It was just the end of a ribbon, wrapped around an evil spirit, pulled back. The evil spirit was still familiar; it was the girl who had been injured by ripples in the haunted house three years ago, losing two-thirds of her power. This time, she held a new doll in her arms, but there was no liveliness like the one from three years ago.
I gave you a way out once, why do you have to go back to your old master
The red ribbon in her hand tightened constantly, the evil aura on the little girl rapidly dissipating.
Liang Feng frowned, he didn't expect Ripples to directly attack his contract demon. This other dimension was maintained by the little girl; if she disappeared, this space would also collapse. He immediately raised his hand to draw a formation and waved his hand to attack Ripples, trying to save his contract demon.
Liàn Yī almost simultaneously with Liáng Fēng drew their battle formations, and both drew the same attack formation. The two formations collided, bursting forth with brilliant sparks. Liàn Yī's formation, infused with舍利金光, was superior, directly scattering Liáng Fēng's attack.
"You"
"I said, blue comes from indigo, but surpasses indigo! Since you are already dead, you shouldn't be prancing around!"
Feng Junyi's first crime scene, where he killed and buried the body, was set up by you. You arranged a sacrificial formation, part of its power helped the Feng family prosper, while the other part was used to nurture a malevolent spirit girl. Sadly, your contracted spirit also took advantage of the isolation formation in the crime scene to temporarily break free from your control. If I hadn't intervened, she might have already turned against you!
"Humph! She's merely a tool in my hands, forever unable to escape my control!"
Liang Feng said with great disdain.
The evil spirit girl, with the dwindling flow of dark energy, once again revealed a horrifying and grotesque visage. Especially when Liang Feng called her a tool, the hatred in her eyes nearly materialized.
"Did you hear that You're just a tool!"
The ripples figure constantly flashed, slightly contracting the red ribbon in her hand, while using her profound energy to draw a formation and clash with Liang Feng. She didn't fall behind at all, and she kept stirring up the relationship between the man and the evil spirit.
"The Yu Mei Li I killed, was that also prepared by you for Yu Bi Yao! And that Gao Yang you specially sent to Yu Bi Yao's side, these are all the paths you paved for your own daughter, wanting her to seize my Xuan Li, am I right!"
"Humph! Don't even mention that idiot! She had everything right in front of her, yet couldn't even get it into her own mouth. Pathetic!"
"You can't blame her, it's entirely due to genetics."
The venomous words of the ripple-mouthed one.
Qi's Liang Feng froze mid-air as he drew his talisman, momentarily stunned by the impact of the ripple attack. He was sent flying backward before disappearing into the darkness.
"Humph! You don't need to provoke me! Today is your death day!"
Don't they know villains die from talking too much!
Ripples raised her hand and fired her dagger, piercing the little girl and the doll she held before her. It plunged into the darkness.e would have to be at least a noble consort.The women below all lit up their eyes after hearing that, mainly because of the great attraction.As the draft came to an end, the emperor also began to freq...
