Chapter 2032

"Is she cultivating little ghosts?" Zhu Yanyi was furious.

"Perhaps. Let us first purify the resentment here," Yan Aohan sighed.

There was no need to say more about this black-clad sorcerer. Even ten lives would not be enough to pay for his crimes. The heavy resentment in the air proved that the number of lives he had taken was far greater than that.

Zhu Yanyi used her ice-blue energy to purify everything in the area. Then, she took out the Book of Life and Death to guide the resentful souls away.

Even though everything was gone, Zhu Yanyi’s anger remained intense. Looking at the scene, she suddenly felt that the ice silk curse placed on her little monkey was a minor disaster compared to the children whose skins were hung on the walls. They must have suffered terribly while alive.

"Let’s go find the culprit," Zhu Yanyi said directly.

The culprit was currently in the underground levels.

Yes, the house had three floors above ground and two below. It showed how much effort this person had put into building it.

She lived on the second underground floor. Yan Aohan had found it. The first underground floor was a parking lot, but no one would have guessed there was another floor beneath it. This was where the black-clad sorcerer truly hid.

It seemed the sorcerer knew his deeds were wrong and feared being killed, so he created this secret place. However, to cultivators, even the most secret places were just ruins.

When Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi appeared before the black-clad sorcerer, her room was filled with many traps.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were not ordinary people, so these mortal devices could not harm them. The sorcerer was still alert. Seeing them, she was stunned and shouted, "Who are you?"

Zhu Yanyi did not bother to speak. She flicked a pill into her mouth. It melted instantly upon entering her throat, and the liquid went straight into her stomach.

The sorcerer was shocked. He coughed continuously, even putting his hand in his mouth to try to dig the medicine out, but it was useless.

"My medicine melts as soon as it touches your tongue. Stop wasting effort. You cannot dig it out," Zhu Yanyi said calmly.

"Originally, I wanted to investigate you. But now, it is unnecessary. Seeing the things on the third and second floors, and the contents of this building, I feel no need to ask you anything. A person like you only cares about money. There is no point in keeping you alive for slow questioning. It is better to dispose of you directly."

"Dis… dispose?" The sorcerer repeated the word. He suddenly felt pain all over his body, as if something was rolling inside his abdomen.

Zhu Yanyi looked coldly at the sorcerer. "I usually kill people directly. But for you, I specially used a method that causes the most pain. That pill has a good name: Speed of Life and Death. It means you are alive on the outside, but dying on the inside. It is a battle between life and death within your own body. This is your punishment. After seeing the remains of those children on the second floor, I decided to use this pill on you."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the sorcerer calmly. "This pain will last for three hours. Then, you will feel your internal organs disappear first, followed by your feet, then your legs, then your upper body and hands. Finally, only your head will remain. It will slowly rot from the mouth upwards. Your eyes and memory of the pain will continue until the end. The entire melting process will take about five hours. So, from start to finish, it will be eight hours.

Thank you for the remote location of this house. I doubt anyone will know how you disappeared."

She then smiled. "Of course, you will not die inside this house. This place is full of filth. Keeping it would only preserve a cruel memory. I will hang you on the top of the old locust tree at your door. You will watch this house turn into nothingness."

She nodded to Yan Aohan. "Aohan, carry her out."

"En." Yan Aohan agreed. He picked him up, and the two left the house. They climbed the old locust tree. The tree was on the mountain top, and no one would notice this spot.

Zhu Yanyi saw that it was ready. A strand of ice-blue energy flew out from her hand. She threw it casually. The entire house caught fire.

There was no sound. It quickly turned into nothingness.

How could this be? The sorcerer never expected this. He was stunned. He thought that if someone burned the house, there would be noise.

But for the first time, he discovered that blue flames existed in this world. These flames made no sound. They swallowed the manor he had worked hard to build. Not only was the house burned, but all the poisonous herbs in the garden were also destroyed completely.

Zhu Yanyi made her watch all this. Then she said, "See? We are kind. We are very kind. We even brought you out. Otherwise, you would have turned to ashes too. My ice-blue energy can swallow anything."

The sorcerer wanted to say something, but the pain made him unable to speak. His limbs were weak, and even standing was a problem.

Zhu Yanyi glanced at her lightly. Yan Aohan hung her on the tree. Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan flew to another tree to watch everything happen.

The sorcerer was in so much pain that he could not move. His only clear sensation was that his internal organs were gradually disappearing. Then, he really saw his body slowly dissipating.

No one expected the sorcerer to end up like this. The sorcerer was in so much pain that he wanted to faint. But strangely, he could not lose consciousness. The only thing that remained clear was that he could see every change in his body distinctly.

This suffering tortured him for eight hours. Finally, before he fell into complete darkness, he felt relieved. He was glad to be finally freed.

"Come out." After the sorcerer turned into nothingness, Yan Aohan spoke.

A masked person appeared nearby. Yan Aohan looked at the masked person. "Go back to your territory. If your traces appear here again, I will destroy your realm."

The masked person hesitated for a moment. Then she said nothing more. She only looked deeply at Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, as if trying to remember their faces.

This action angered Yan Aohan. He said nothing. He just waved his hand, and the person was thrown into a black rift.

"Who is this?" Zhu Yanyi did not recognize the masked person.

"A minion from the Priest’s side," Yan Aohan did not hide it.
