80: Execute first and report later, imperial power

Chapter 80: Execute First, Report Later, Imperial Authority Granted

"Presumptuous!"

Lu Guanda's spiritual power surged around him, and a wave of Qi swept out.

He glared at the Yin spirits scattering across the main hall, scolding them angrily.

"This is the court's yamen! How dare you evil Yin spirits act so recklessly!"

Although he said that, none of the yamen runners dared to step forward to stop them.

One must know that among all the yamen runners in the entire County Yamen, only the constable was a Cultivator.

These ordinary Mortals truly had no way to stop Yin spirits when they encountered them.

What's more, there were so many Yin spirits.

Whether in terms of strength or numbers, they held no advantage.

"I advise you not to act rashly." Just as Lu Guanda was about to make a move, Li Yunshu spoke again. "The Town Demon Division inspects all officials, with the authority to execute first and report later, granted by Imperial Authority."

The four words "execute first, report later" made all the yamen runners' legs go soft.

Lu Guanda clenched his fists tightly, but instead of directly attacking Li Yunshu, he headed straight for the back hall.

However, as soon as he took a step, a massive spatial rift swallowed him.

Within the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit's space, Lu Guanda didn't even have a chance to resist, directly crushed to his knees by the powerful pressure.

Li Yunshu ignored the yamen runners in the main hall and went straight to the back hall.

Jiang Wenzheng's hand gripped the umbrella tightly, feeling a hint of fear towards Li Yunshu, who had just been chatting with him in the room.

That huge black hole had actually swallowed the County Magistrate.

Thinking that the murderer of his beloved had vanished from this world, alongside the fear, his heart was filled with more exhilaration.

Coming back to his senses, he immediately chased after them to the back hall.

At this moment, outside a room covered with Talismans, a Yin spirit shouted.

"Found it!"

Li Yunshu immediately rushed over at the sound, kicking open the door.

Those Talismans were useful against Yin spirits, but completely useless against him.

Inside the room, Chen Hong was seen pinned to the bed by several Talismans, unable to move.

However, what surprised Li Yunshu was that those Talismans were already somewhat loose, and the resentment on Chen Hong's body had grown much heavier.

Clearly, she had become a Vengeful Spirit again.

Seeing that Chen Hong was fine, Li Yunshu couldn't help but tease her.

"This could be considered a Dragon fallen into a shallow stream, bullied by shrimp."

If Chen Hong had been at her peak, she wouldn't have been subdued by Lu Guanda.

However, after being beaten into a Yin spirit, her strength was greatly diminished, and she had no power to fight back against Lu Guanda.

Swoosh!

The Talismans on Chen Hong's body suddenly ignited, quickly turning to ash.

After destroying one Talisman, the rest were all broken by her.

Chen Hong flexed her wrists and floated up from the bed.

She had barely left her home when she encountered Lu Guanda.

It was too late to run, and she was directly captured and brought back to the County Yamen.

Lu Guanda imprisoned her in the room and pasted Talismanic Incantations to prevent her from escaping.

However, he didn't expect that years of resentment and hatred would erupt at this moment, directly turning her into a Vengeful Spirit again.

"Where is Lu Guanda?"

Li Yunshu knew she wanted revenge, hesitated for a moment, and then let her into the Red-Clothed Vengeful Spirit's space.

Of course, he followed closely behind.

At the same time, Jiang Wenzheng, who had chased to the back hall, was also pulled in by him.

The moment Lu Guanda saw Chen Hong, his face first showed a look of joy.

"Hong'er."

Hearing that address, Li Yunshu couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Don't call me that!"

Chen Hong's long hair fluttered, and she stood in the air, her eyes full of killing intent.

When Lu Guanda saw Jiang Wenzheng enter, he angrily said.

"You know I love you! Just because of this scholar, you want to abandon me?"

Jiang Wenzheng's knowledge was limited, so the story he told was not complete.

Li Yunshu quickly learned the full story of what happened back then from Chen Hong, the person involved.

"I knew I couldn't bear children, and I felt I had failed you, failed your Lu family.

I allowed you to take a concubine, but you refused.

You believed I ruined your imagination of a perfect couple, so you wanted to ruin me too. You tormented me daily to vent your dissatisfaction."

As she spoke, Chen Hong turned to look at Jiang Wenzheng, the killing intent in her eyes transforming into tenderness.

"I love him, and I knew you wouldn't let me leave. You are inherently a person with terrifying possessiveness to the extreme."

She spread her arms and sighed, looking up.

"I knew I chose you wrongly and ruined my life.

Since you wouldn't agree to divorce and wouldn't allow a peaceful separation, I ended my mistake with death."

Lu Guanda shouted.

"Hong'er, I just didn't want you to leave me. You are my wife!"

At this point, the resentment on Chen Hong's body grew even denser.

"My Reincarnation has long since had no connection to my previous life. Why won't you let me go?

Back then, if you hadn't chased after us on horseback, how would the Lin family mother and daughter have fallen off the cliff to their deaths!"

She had Reincarnated into the body of the Lin family's only daughter, and awakened her memories of her previous life when she was young.

However, she couldn't come to Jiangdu County when she was young.

She waited until adulthood to beg her mother to bring her to Jiangdu County under the pretext of going to Enji Temple to offer incense.

However, the Lin family's business extended to Jiangdu County, and Lin's father was acquainted with Lu Guanda.

During a casual conversation, he guessed that she had Reincarnated into the Lin family, which led to the accident at the cliff.

On that day, she could have rekindled her relationship with Jiang Lang.

Because of Lu Guanda, she missed another lifetime.

Lu Guanda seemed to have gone mad.

"You are mine! Even if you Reincarnate, you can only be mine! No one else can lay a finger on you!"

With that, he suddenly rushed towards Jiang Wenzheng, who was standing beside Li Yunshu, wanting to eliminate his rival in love.

However, Li Yunshu didn't even need to act; Chen Hong had already flashed and appeared, blocking Jiang Wenzheng.

A red light flashed in her eyes, and Lu Guanda's movements froze, falling into an illusion.

"Son, my son."

At this critical moment, Li Yunshu very tactfully sent Jiang Wenzheng out.

A frail scholar, after all, had not seen much bloody scenes.

It would be bad if he were to suffer any psychological trauma later on.

Pfft.

Chen Hong directly pierced Lu Guanda's heart, pulling it out.

"You want a family reunion? I'll grant it to you."

Smash.

As she squeezed her hand, that beating heart was directly crushed.

Lu Guanda's eyes widened, and he spat out mouthfuls of blood, still muttering: "Son..."

With her great revenge avenged, Chen Hong did not feel the joy she had imagined.

Killing Lu Guanda could not change the two lost lifetimes of her youth, nor the life of her Lin family mother.

She let out a long sigh of turbid Qi, then turned to look at Li Yunshu.

"If the court pursues this, can you cover for me?"

Killing a court official, if the Town Demon Division were to investigate, she wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

Li Yunshu looked at the Soul Banner in his hand and hinted meaningfully.

"I can only cover for the Vengeful Spirits within my Soul Banner."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hong didn't hesitate at all, stepping into the crimson Soul Banner, and was once again branded.
