Xia Xianning shouted, ‘Break the evil blood resentment, illuminate the secret text, first kill the evil ghosts, then cut the moonlight. Urgent as the decree!’
With his command, the blood-red light exploded.”
The crescent moon returned to normal, and the transparent membrane over the village vanished. After a moment of silence, countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts surged into the village.
The blood resentment was broken! From now on, this place would have no protective barrier!
White Wuchang was shocked by Xia Xianning’s extreme method and couldn’t help but look at him. Under the moonlight, his handsome face was expressionless, as if nothing in the world could make him afraid or move him.
He blurted out, “You actually used such extreme means. Aren’t you afraid of retribution?!”
Xia Xianning remained calm, as if he had just done something completely ordinary and righteous. He said softly, “With a clear conscience, there’s nothing to fear. Please return in seven days. Xianning has other matters to attend to, so I won’t see you off.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Fang from the municipal bureau approached. Black and White Wuchang exchanged a glance and disappeared.
Director Fang asked, “Director Xia, shall we go?”
Though older and more experienced, he didn’t dare to act independently before Xia Xianning. Xia Xianning looked around and said, “Let’s go.”
A villager angrily said: “You outsider police always meddle in other people’s business! This wretched woman killed someone, we want to beat her to death. Don’t you know the principle of life for a life?”
Luo Yingbai covered the woman with Xia Xianning’s clothes, checked her condition, and saw that while her external injuries were severe, her life was not in danger. He turned and said: “This sister has already been disabled by you. How can you kill her?”
The villager was provoked by Luo Yingbai and flew into a rage: “Nonsense! Who knows how this woman went crazy? She heard her father wanted to sell Cuinü and started causing trouble. We thought she couldn’t do anything, but unexpectedly, she killed Cuinü’s father! She must pay with her life!”
As he spoke, the crowd became agitated, cursing from all directions. They were originally angry that the outside police had forcibly taken away the wives they had bought, and this incident further ignited their resentment.
