1011: Chapter 625_2 1011: Chapter 625_2 Knowing this, they would definitely not come here to provoke us, encountering such a powerful Immortal.
However, they were bound by human spells, forced to come to this place, Ghosts and Fierce Ghosts, all of them resented the one who controlled them, bringing them here to harm the young lady.
Among so many Fierce Ghosts, the other small soldiers were merely following orders, serving as mediums, and grooms.
Their abilities were the weakest, and they had already been trembling with fear due to the overwhelming pressure!
Trapped in this courtyard, these ghostly spirits, even if powerful, could not exert much strength during the daytime!
If it weren’t for their control, they would have snatched the bride or ran away at night, just before dawn, or until such a formidable person appeared and fled!
The mediums and the groom knew they had encountered a powerful Immortal.
Ever since this Immortal came to this place, they also knew that danger had arrived!
Unable to escape all night yesterday; now it is daytime, and they are even less capable of escaping.
Feeling the Immortal looming high above is like prisoners waiting for the Judge to adjudicate, awaiting the arrival of punishment!
This person’s strength is so great, perhaps only Yama and Judges in the Yama Palace possess such abilities!
Such a formidable person, the intense pressure had condensed all the Ghosts into a cluster!
Where is the arrogance from last night and the past disturbances?
Eryao is high above, intentionally exerting intense pressure in that courtyard, focusing on those Ghosts—who made them harm others?
From the red light emanating from the Black Mist of those Ghosts, it is known that all of them had harmed people!
He is not so kind-hearted as to let off these harmful Ghosts, much less kindly deliver them to salvation!
Just because he is neither a Monk nor a Taoist!
Those who do wrong must definitely be punished, regardless of whether or not they are under human control!
It can only be said that these Ghosts are very unlucky to have encountered him!
Eryao is not worried that his pressure will harm the young lady, having already designed a soundproof, protective barrier around the young lady’s room last night!
He also found out that the young lady in the bed had not woken up yet; her room was sealed by him, and the Maids could not leave to eat except for drinking water and having the snacks in the room!
The young lady in a coma could only drink the water served by the Maid; seeing her pale face, if she is not properly treated today, even if she survived the Fierce Ghost last night, she will not live long!
This young lady, although frail and tormented by illness, has a face of such pallor that there is a pitiable beauty.
One can see why she would attract Fierce Ghosts!
Her special constitution, masked by hidden radiance, would have been destined for a notable patronage if not sabotaged by someone!
Such radiance, he has seen it one day in the Imperial Palace, around the Consorts of the Emperor, including the Empress, all possessing this kind of luster!
This city, not very far from the Imperial City, Eryao could feel from high above that a change of weather was coming to the Imperial City!
The transformations in the Imperial City are his doing!
That day, the Emperor, who had harmed many, was punished by him.
The Emperor, a long-time consumer of Immortal Pills, feasted on medicine fierce as beasts.
What kind of Immortal Pills were those?
They had long since rendered his body hollow, blasted him into madness and half-paralysis, stripping him of self-care abilities, how could he continue to sit on the throne with dignity and fortune?
With the Emperor seriously ill, someone has already transferred his power; his Princes are already competing for power, fighting over the throne!
In the Imperial Palace, every changeover is associated with some people’s interests; common folk are always passive!
Just see who becomes cannon fodder!
And who can gain more glory and wealth!
Eryao did not linger high up for too long, eager to complete the task at hand to enjoy fine food!
He also pitied that young lady, allowing her to escape from suffering sooner.
As Eryao waved his Spells, the sky immediately began to change, the previously clear sky becoming windswept.
Clouds gathered from nowhere, enveloping the entire city!
It rained for an entire day and night a few days ago, allowing crops to be moisturized for a few days.
The water was there, but there had been clear skies these past days, and farmers were worrying again.
After months of drought, only one day and night of rain provided short-term relief.
Just as the dreaded event was about to unfold, they saw the gale rising and dark clouds crowding the sky.
Instead of seeking shelter from the rain, they were jumping for joy!
The rich families could never understand the feelings of the tenant farmers!
There was a change on the ground that Eryao could sense.
His lips curled into a slight smile; it seemed that doing good deeds could indeed lift one’s spirits!
“Boom boom boom!”
With flashes of lightning and roars of thunder, the thunder struck only one specific location!
People in the city, whether seeking shelter from the rain or not, all looked in one direction, towards a place that had been the subject of much gossip these past few days!
Especially around Zheng Residence, the houses and streets, where the masters had moved out but where servants, ordinary shop owners, and workers still lingered, felt the awe of thunder and lightning even more intensely.
The much-gossiped-about Zheng Residence was now where everyone had retreated to inside their homes, not because they didn’t want to witness the Immortal demonstrating his might.
But because they trusted the Immortal too much, especially at a moment like this, with the rain about to fall, the wealthy owners, and the servants fearing the lightning, we could feel the power emanating from that courtyard up close!
“Boom boom boom boom…”
Eryao stood high above, immune to the rainwater, standing in a place where rain did not fall, and the ground where he stood was also dry!
No one had yet discovered this trick.
Sir Zheng and his family had taken shelter in their house, yet still watched the heavy rain through the windows, except for the Old Madam whose face showed joy.
It was an honor for them to witness such a powerful person who could summon storms!
Particularly the youths, dreaming of heroes, gazed up at the figure in the sky in admiration.
The elderly Sir Zheng had once dreamed of being a hero, longing for great abilities, but they were all mortals!
In the eyes of the ladies, stars twinkled: this hero-worshipping sentiment did not differ between those married or young; they all pondered which lucky girl would have the honor and blessing to have such a powerful Immortal gentleman.
Could such an Immortal be marrying someone?
Only a Fairy would be worthy; wealthy mortal women could only dream – just like their own wealthy family could only fantasize!
How could mortals be fitting for such a handsome exile?
Inside the young mistress’s courtyard, during the Explosive Thunder, in the shielded room, neither the Maid nor the Mistress were affected!
The ones affected were the Fierce Ghosts, already oppressed into a ball by the might; hearing the thunder, they knew the end was nigh!
Scared of being scattered, they also felt incredibly unlucky, their resentment having already disseminated, hating the person who conducted the spell and those who allowed it!
The Ghosts didn’t have time to regret for long, as the thunder struck right inside that courtyard!
“Bang bang bang”
The courtyard was blasted with pits, and the Ghosts shattered to nothingness under the strikes, annihilated on the spot, by the mighty thunder that killed all the Ghosts inside!
The Array confining the Ghosts was also broken by the thunder.
The Mage doing the ritual in a distant courtyard in the city felt the danger when the thunder sounded.
He intended to resist, but while his Spell wasn’t complete, he was struck back, causing him to vomit blood and collapse to the ground!
The Mage’s Disciple kept calling out “Master” and stuffing medicine into him, only to find his master’s face turning purple like gold.
So frightened that he could only make ‘whimpering’ sounds!
The Old Madam of Zheng Residence, she was struck back, falling in her own courtyard room!
Spitting blood, those around her panicked, helping her up, feeding her medicine, and hurrying to call the doctor!
There was a flurry of hands and feet, some running out to fetch the doctor, others going to report to the masters.
But with the Zheng Residence so eerily inviting, would any doctor dare to come?
After the thunder, not only the Zheng Residence but even the surrounding people could feel the weather gradually warming up, slowly taking off layers from their thick cotton clothing.
Sir Zheng and the other masters, hearing about the Old Madam’s illness and vomiting blood, had no intention of visiting her.
