Chapter 97: The Completely Messed Up Plot

The combination of the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Net arrays, along with the Nine Swords of Dugu infused with Exorcism Power, was the ultimate killing move against ghosts and spirits.

In just over ten minutes, more than half of the thousands of fierce ghosts in the area had been destroyed.

However, Wei Ziqing’s Exorcism Power had only recently been cultivated. Seeing that his power was about to run out while many vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts remained, Wei Ziqing felt deeply powerless.

Right at that moment, Wei Ziqing suddenly saw a car. He gritted his teeth and decided to imprison this group of vengeful spirits and fierce ghosts inside the car for now!

After all, Ping Ma was still inside the Jiajia Building. If he didn’t save some Exorcism Power, he might not even have the ability to protect himself if something went wrong later!

Wei Ziqing’s face was somewhat pale due to the excessive consumption of Exorcism Power. After instructing the people of the Jiajia Building not to touch that car, he glanced at Jin Zhengzhong, who was still sitting dazed on the ground, snorted coldly, and ran straight into the Jiajia Building.

If he guessed correctly, Ping Ma had probably already injured Kuang Tianyou and captured him on the rooftop!

And if he didn’t hurry over, without Ma Xiaoling there, Wang Zhenzhen would truly be in danger!

Jin Zhengzhong watched Wei Ziqing’s departing back, then looked at the disgusted expressions of the Jiajia Building neighbors staring at him. Hatred for Wei Ziqing unconsciously rose in his heart.

He felt that this so-called Sanpo Day was completely fake. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that nothing happened when he usually held séances, yet this time, the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons actually occurred?

Moreover, he found it unbelievable that one person alone could easily defeat so many fierce ghosts!

Therefore, this must be a trick deliberately played by Wei Ziqing just to make him lose face in front of everyone!

Thinking of this, Jin Zhengzhong gritted his teeth and stood up abruptly. Ignoring his mother’s calls, he ran after him. He swore that he would expose Wei Ziqing’s hypocritical true colors!

He rushed up to the fourth floor to Luo Kaiping’s home and found that the door had already been broken. Wei Ziqing did not stop there and rushed straight to the rooftop. Sure enough, Kuang Tianyou was there in a confrontation with Ping Ma and Luo Kaiping.

Wang Zhenzhen’s neck was being tightly squeezed by Ping Ma’s hand. In just one day, large patches of rotting flesh had already begun to appear on Ping Ma’s face and even on her hands.

“You’ve finally come. Where is that slut? Where is the slut who injured me? Why didn’t she come? You villains just want to separate us mother and son. I want to see if you dare to kill me today!”

“Ziqing…” Kuang Tianyou’s hands were clenched tightly. He looked at Wang Zhenzhen, who was being choked by Ping Ma and could barely breathe, his eyes full of worry. He looked at Wei Ziqing with a pleading expression.

Wei Ziqing frowned and ignored Kuang Tianyou, walking instead toward Ping Ma and Luo Kaiping.

“What are you doing? Stop right there! If you come any closer, we will die together with Zhenzhen!” Luo Kaiping’s face changed, and he pulled Wang Zhenzhen back several steps until they were against the edge of the rooftop.

“Ping Ma, do you still not understand?” Wei Ziqing stopped walking. He didn’t look at anyone else and spoke calmly to Ping Ma.

“Understand? Understand what? I know you are all bullying my Kaiping. You are villains who just want to separate us mother and son!” Ping Ma’s face became distorted. As she moved, the rotting flesh on her face looked as if it were about to fall off, which was terrifying!

“Ping Ma, if I’m not mistaken, A-Ping is already thirty-three years old, right?” Wei Ziqing ignored Ping Ma’s words and asked her instead!

“Why are you asking that?” Everyone was stunned, wondering why Wei Ziqing was asking this question. What did it have to do with Luo Kaiping’s age?

“The ancients said that at ten one has no worries, at twenty no regrets, at thirty one establishes oneself, and at forty one is no longer confused. You don’t want to leave simply because of A-Ping’s lifelong affairs. But don’t you realize that it is precisely because of your existence that A-Ping has achieved nothing in his life up to now?”

Wei Ziqing was not talking nonsense. Based on the original story, what Ping Ma was most worried about was Luo Kaiping’s marriage. Because of this, she forced Wang Zhenzhen to marry Luo Kaiping!

A loving mother and a filial son were not necessarily wrong, but this love was a selfish kind of love, and this filial piety had turned into blind obedience!

“Impossible! You are talking nonsense! How could I have harmed my A-Ping? If I hadn’t helped A-Ping in everything, he would have been bullied by you long ago. Now he has even married Zhenzhen, how could I have harmed him!” Ping Ma was stunned for a moment, then began to scream hysterically.

But she quickly turned to look at Luo Kaiping. Upon looking, she froze instantly, and the hand choking Wang Zhenzhen unconsciously loosened.

Usually, if A-Ping heard such words, he would definitely argue against Wei Ziqing. But today, he remained silent, and his hands began to tremble.

“A-Ping, is… is what he said true? Did Mom harm you?”

Luo Kaiping remained silent, but his expression became complicated. After a long time, he said, “Mom, actually, there is something I wanted to tell you a long time ago. You said back then that the farmer chose the wooden axe because he was honest, but I don’t think so. I think it’s because he knew what kind of person deserved what kind of axe. He could only deserve a wooden axe for his entire life!”

“But Zhenzhen… isn’t she the woman you like? Was Mom wrong to want her to marry you?” Ping Ma still could not believe it. This was the first time since childhood that Luo Kaiping had expressed his own thoughts.

“The one I liked was Pipi, but Zhenzhen is the one you liked!” As he said this, tears fell from Luo Kaiping’s eyes.

Did he hate Ping Ma? No, on the contrary, he loved her. Because of this, even though she had killed Pipi, he said nothing. He went along with her wish to capture Wang Zhenzhen and marry her, just so that Ping Ma could rest in peace!

Clang…

Ping Ma took several steps back, her face full of complex emotions. Was she wrong? Was she really wrong?

She only wanted to help her son, but why did she hear only total helplessness in her son’s voice?

Without the two holding her, Wang Zhenzhen had already run back, leaving Ping Ma and Luo Kaiping standing there dazed. No one disturbed them, allowing the mother and son to stand there in silence.

“Ping, Mom has to go now. Take good care of yourself, okay?” After a long time, Ping Ma walked to Luo Kaiping’s side and touched his cheek with a hand covered in rotting flesh.

Luo Kaiping didn’t speak, but he nodded, though tears were already streaming down his face. He had actually come to terms with it long ago, but he didn’t want his mother to leave in unrest. Now, seeing her state, she seemed to have come to terms with it as well!

“In that case, Ping Ma, it is time for you to move on!” This result was the best possible. There was no need for fighting, Luo Kaiping didn’t have to die, and the Hungry Shura didn’t have to appear. It was a way to save a pitiful soul!

Ping Ma nodded. Wei Ziqing began to form hand seals, intending to use the Nine Word Mantra to help Ping Ma ascend. But at that moment, a sudden change occurred, and a bedraggled figure suddenly crashed into him.

The person screamed, “Ahhh, Master Wei, there’s a ghost!”

That person was Jin Zhengzhong. Jin Zhengzhong lunged crazily at Wei Ziqing and pushed him violently. At this moment, Wei Ziqing was standing at the edge of the rooftop!

The Jiajia Building was over twenty stories high. Even if Wei Ziqing didn’t die from falling, he would be severely injured!

Looking back, there was no ghost behind Jin Zhengzhong. At this moment, his intention was clear!

He actually wanted to kill Wei Ziqing!
