Chapter 267 - Crazy Mother Feng (2/2)

Mother Feng’s movements in the array became weaker and weaker. It seemed like she was getting tired. Or perhaps her split souls could no longer withstand the torture. Yet, her screams and wails were getting louder and louder. Each word overflowed with indignation so that it seemed like the entire Divine Underworld echoed with her hatred.

“I hate what you did to me! Why?”

“Every mountain and valley, staying together for eternity, hahaha… liar, all lies!”

“I will not die, I won’t die! Even if I become a ghost forever, and am not allowed to reincarnate, I will drag you all down into hell with me forever!”

“Great justice, cutting off your emotions to achieve enlightenment… it was all a lie! Return my life to me! Return it to me!”

Her voice was becoming more and more ear-piercing and each sentence became louder than the last. Black Qi began to appear on Mother Feng’s originally transparent souls. It did not look like the Yin Qi of ghost immortals and neither did it look like demonic Qi. Her outraged energy rushed toward the sky, threatening to fill up the entire atmosphere.”

“Grievance aura!” Zhu Ming’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How… how can this be?” Although everyone who became a ghost immortal had died with huge grievances, this was the Divine Underworld. The Divine Underworld’s Yin River could remove all the grievous energy so that ghost immortals would not be forced to descend into insanity. That was why it was not easy for ghost immortals to leave the Underworld. Yet, Mother Feng had so much grievous energy despite her soul having split.

Zhu Ming’s eyes remained wide as he realised something. His face drained of all color as he muttered, “Could it be… she still can’t let go.”

“There is one soul missing in the array,” Xuan Tong cried out.

Everyone jumped back in shock and turned to look. Indeed, of the nine Mother Feng’s that they saw in the array, only eight were left. And each of them had a huge amount of grievance around them. A moment later, five of the souls became surrounded by grievances and began to gather, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force.

“Spirit Convening in Grievance,” Bai Ze muttered, his jaw hanging open. All that grievance was helping her parted souls to gather back into one.

“No, this would cause Mother Feng to be swallowed by the grievances.” Zhu Ming became even more worried as he conjured a seal hurriedly. Yet, he could not produce anything.

The different parts of Mother Feng’s soul had already more or less gathered into one. The wailing and screaming stopped. Mother Feng’s black robes and messy hair blew about in the middle of the array. Two trails of blood remained on her face.

Suddenly, she quietened down and lost her craziness. For some reason, those two blood eyes seemed to brighten. Her gaze fixed on where the group was. All of a sudden, she broke into a cold toe-curling grin.

“Mother Feng…” Zhu Ming took a step forward.

Mother Feng’s grin widened from ear to ear. Her eyes were almost bulging out of her sockets when she suddenly laughed. “Heh heh heh… you were an accomplice. You all deserve to die. Return me my life, will you… Junior Brother?”

“You… remember?” Zhu Ming’s eyes widened as he stiffened.

Mother Feng raised her arms and screaming, causing a gust of grievous aura to charge toward Zhu Ming. All around them, the Yin Qi retreated to make way for the grievances which looked like they was about to swallow him whole.

“Zhu Ming!” Lonemoon screamed, throwing a ball of sword Qi toward Zhu Ming so that he was pushed out of the way of the grievous aura. The ground began to shake and the temple which was already half-destroyed, fell to the ground in a heap of rubble.
