After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Just when Gu Qingze wanted to "finish the fight", Chu Lingxiao signaled him to stop.

Although Gu Qingze didn't understand his thoughts, he still listened to him obediently.

When Chu Lingxiao saw him stop, he smiled at him with relief. Then, he put on that sharp expression again, as if he was sizing up something, or examining something, and looked at the mysterious object.

"Now that you are about to die and your plans have failed, there is no point in keeping the souls of the eleven brides. It is better to do a good deed before you die and release them."

Chu Lingxiao's voice was firm and powerful, as if it was an order that could not be disobeyed.

The mysterious creature looked at him with resentment. If its eyes could turn into blades, Chu Lingxiao would have been torn to pieces by it. But unfortunately it couldn't, so even if it blinded itself, it would be of no use.

"...Don't even think about it. Even if my plan fails, I will not let their souls go. I will pollute and torture their souls so that they will not rest in peace even after death."

The voice was sharp and piercing, and as it spoke, it was accompanied by a "hehehe" laugh, just like a vicious villain.

This villain is truly a villain... Could he not be so stereotypically evil?

Gu Qingze couldn't help but silently complain in his heart.

When Chu Lingxiao heard the words of the mysterious creature, his golden eyes looked even brighter, even to the point of being scary.

As long as you are stared at by those eyes, it feels as if you are completely seen through, leaving you with nowhere to hide.

Gu Qingze was certainly not afraid of such looks. After all, he had told Ling Xiao everything except what he could not say, and he had no secrets to hide.

But that mysterious thing was different. When it was stared at in this way, it always felt as if it was being seen through and it was full of oppression. In addition, Chu Lingxiao was approaching it step by step, making the feeling of oppression even stronger.

The mysterious creature shouted, "You...what are you going to do? If you want to kill me, hurry up and don't dilly-dally."

Unexpectedly, what responded to it was a look of pity: "You can't impose your pain on others and prevent them from being happy just because of your experience."

"I admit that you are a pitiful woman, abandoned by an unfaithful man. You have no one to rely on in the troubled times and can only sacrifice half of your soul, becoming a thing that is neither human nor ghost."

"But are those brides wrong? Because you are unhappy, you kill the brides one by one, jealous of them and resentful of them."

"And what I find even more incomprehensible is that... after you gained the ability to take revenge, you didn't kill the person who betrayed you, but instead harmed those innocent brides."

"Isn't it just that you couldn't bear to do it? That man had let you down, but you couldn't bear to kill him. Those brides were innocent, but you used them to vent your anger."

Chu Lingxiao's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart of that mysterious creature.

"Twelve brides, a blood sacrifice, and then you will construct your own new body. Change into a more beautiful appearance to meet that man, the man who has clearly betrayed you."

"Tsk, how ridiculous, sad, pitiful and hateful." Chu Lingxiao lowered his eyes, as if he was mocking her, but also as if he was simply making his own evaluation.

"No, that's not the case! You don't know anything, you don't know anything, what qualifications do you have to say that!"

The mysterious creature retorted loudly, and the cloth strips wrapped around its body fell off bit by bit, revealing a horrible body with only flesh and blood but no skin.

Her tears swirled in her eyes and then slowly slid down like pearls breaking off a string.

The pity in Chu Lingxiao's eyes gradually dissipated, and he just slowly said: "But this is what I feel. This is the fact that you have been hiding in your heart, the fact that you are unwilling to admit."

"For this, you even lied to yourself. On the surface, you kept telling yourself that you wanted to put on a nice-looking skin and go find that unfaithful man to seek revenge. But deep down, you actually wanted to see him and renew your relationship with him."

"But you hate yourself for being like this. You hate yourself for not being able to hate that man even though you were betrayed. So you keep delaying going to find him."

"You chose to be here because Cang Yun City is your hometown. You can't bear to see other women in Cang Yun City get happiness, so you kill them all."

".....Do you want me to say more?" Chu Lingxiao stared at her straightly, with a condescending look in his eyes.

The ghost cultivator did not answer him, but just kept repeating: "It's not like this, it's not like this, it's not like this..."

Chu Lingxiao raised the corners of his lips slightly, but without a smile: "Well, if you think I'm wrong and I misunderstood you, then prove it to me."

"Prove that you are not jealous of other people's happiness, jealous that those brides are living better than you."

Chu Lingxiao pressed on step by step, not giving her any time to think.

"You should free their souls now and give them some relief. Otherwise, you will continue to harm others out of jealousy and resentment."

Chu Lingxiao's voice slowed down again and became extremely gentle, which could be described as a combination of soft and hard tactics: "Be good and listen to me, okay?"

The ghost cultivator cried for a while, then put down his hands that were covering his face, and waved them a few times. Eleven souls ran out one after another, flew into the air, and gradually became airborne...

But even though the wronged souls of the eleven brides have regained their freedom, they are still resentful towards the ghost cultivator and cannot let it go.

They circled slowly in the air, like dark clouds hanging over the temple.

The eerie atmosphere spread like cold frost, making people shudder.

Every wronged soul seems like a dark shadow, emitting endless sorrow and resentment.

The intense hatred tightly enveloped the ghost cultivator like a substance, like an airtight net that left the ghost cultivator nowhere to escape.

At this moment, one of the wronged souls suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream and pounced towards the ghost cultivator fiercely.

Her figure left a black trail in the air, carrying with it a resolute hatred.

Seeing this, the other wronged souls also responded. Like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, they rushed towards the ghost cultivator regardless of everything.

The figures of the wronged souls were like black lightning, filled with anger and desire for revenge.

Their movements were swift and crazy, as if they wanted to tear the ghost cultivator into pieces to relieve their hatred.

However, just when the wronged souls were about to touch the ghost cultivator, Chu Lingxiao took decisive action.

He quickly waved the spiritual power in his hand, and the spiritual power was like a nimble dragon, instantly forming an extremely powerful barrier.

This barrier emits a bright light, blocking the wronged souls outside. The wronged souls crash into the barrier, making a deafening roar.

But no matter how hard the wronged souls struggled, they were never able to break through this powerful barrier.

"Don't worry, I will deal with her well and give you a satisfactory answer."

Chu Lingxiao's voice was steady and powerful, like a firm promise.

He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and continued: "But...you can't do it yourself, otherwise your soul will be polluted."

"Think about it, you have already lost your life because of her, and now only this pure and spotless soul is left..."

"An originally pure and spotless soul was polluted because of an unworthy person... Is she really worthy of you doing this?"

"Of course, if you insist on doing this and are willing to have your souls polluted in order to seek revenge, then I will immediately remove the barrier and you can do whatever you want with her."

"After all... an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. This is what she deserves. I stopped her because I was thinking about you. Just make your own decision."

"Do you want me to avenge you, or do you want to do it yourself?"

Chu Lingxiao stared at the wronged souls, waiting for their decision.
