Chapter 143 Trap

Wang Butcher stared intently at the woman in red and said, "There is a man named Pei Hao Hong who often frequents the Kong family mansion."

"Didn't you ask him?"

The woman in red trembled, "He is the only person I dare not ask. He deliberately doesn't kill us, he wants to keep us here to help him attract ghosts and gods."

"It was also Pei Hao Hong who gave me this idea, telling me to ask others if I couldn't figure things out."

The woman in red's answer made Wang Butcher frown slightly.

Xia Mengying, however, sat there silently for a long time.

The woman in red knelt on the ground, no longer speaking, as if waiting for their answer.

Ye Yang suddenly said, "Are you finished speaking?"

The woman in red was slightly stunned, "Yes... yes, I'm finished."

"Your wish has been fulfilled, go!" Ye Yang's sword energy erupted, attacking the other party directly.

"Wait..." Xia Mengying wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

The tenth sword energy that Ye Yang unleashed was particularly fierce. After the sword energy entered her body, it exploded in all directions, instantly tearing the woman in red's body into pieces.

Xia Mengying watched in stunned silence, "Ye Yang, you..."

Ye Yang raised his eyes to look at the Kong family ghosts sitting opposite them and said, "Don't you think there's something wrong with these ghosts?"

Only then did Xia Mengying realize that the ghosts had not moved from their positions from beginning to end. Even when Ye Yang unleashed ten swords, they hadn't said a word.

Even when the woman in red accused them, they didn't speak in their own defense.

This was clearly illogical.

Xia Mengying didn't react for a moment. Wang Butcher explained, "Xia Xia, Confucian scholars are also people. No matter how good their self-cultivation is, they will still have emotional changes."

"It might not be strange for one person to be able to hide their emotions, but it would be strange for thirty people to be able to do it."

"Ye Yang's attack was not without reason."

"That woman in red should be a trap left by someone. If you gave her an answer, she would control the thirty ghosts to refute..."

As Wang Butcher was speaking, the thirty ghosts stood up with their fists clenched. The leader cupped his hands and bowed deeply to Ye Yang, "Thank you, righteous warrior, for eliminating harm for the people."

"Kong Li Shi is deranged and controls us here. If it weren't for the righteous warrior killing her, even speaking would be a luxury for us."

Wang Butcher's expression couldn't help but turn ugly—she had just said that there was something strange about the Kong family ghosts. The next second, the Kong family members moved, and moved so vividly.

Didn't this mean that everything Wang Butcher had said earlier was wrong?

Xia Mengying trembled, "Was Kong Li Shi telling the truth?"

"She..." As the ghost said one word, Ye Yang's sword energy arrived suddenly, instantly turning the other party into phosphorescent fire.

While the Kong family ghosts were shocked, Ye Yang said coldly, "Your stories are finished, and you've done what you needed to do. You can get lost now."

"Anyone who speaks again will die!"

One of the Kong family ghosts pointed at Ye Yang and said, "How can you be so tyrannical?"

In the next instant, he died under Ye Yang's sword energy.

One of the Kong family ghosts stood up and said sharply, "All Kong family members come out and stand here to be killed by him! I want to see if there is any justice in this world!"

Wang Butcher sneered, "If what that woman said earlier was all true, how can your Kong family be worthy of talking about justice?"

The Kong family ghost stepped forward, proudly puffed out his chest and said, "Why isn't our Kong family worthy of talking about justice?"

"So what if everything Kong Li Shi said was true?"

"She..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Ye Yang's sword energy shot out in all directions. The overwhelming sword light filled the hall, and the Kong family ghosts, along with the chairs behind them, were all turned into dust under Ye Yang's sword.

The green phosphorescent fire, along with the dust stirred up by the sword energy, floated in the hall. At the same moment, the wind chimes outside the house vibrated violently.

As the piercing sound of the bells swept over the courtyard like a tide, the cries of ghosts rose and fell in succession.

Hundreds of wronged souls frantically accused Kong Qian in every corner of the Kong family, saying only what he had done wrong in the past.

"Kong Qian, the third young master, although he was wrong, family scandals should not be aired publicly. Why didn't Kong Qian report to the head of the family and punish the third young master according to the family rules?"

"The third young master is Kong Qian's elder. How can Kong Qian be filial if he sues an elder?"

"The members of the clan tried to persuade Kong Qian, but not only did he not repent, but he also spoke harshly to them. Where is Kong Qian's fraternal duty?"

"Kong Qian ruined the reputation of the Kong family, and a hundred years of family tradition was destroyed in an instant. Where is Kong Qian's loyalty?"

"How can such a mischievous disciple not be corrected according to the family rules?"

"What is the Kong family guilty of!"

Every time the Kong family ghosts said a sentence, Ye Yang's sword energy would follow, and dazzling phosphorescent fire would break out everywhere in the Kong family. The voices of the ghosts, however, did not stop for a moment.

Wang Butcher originally wanted to take action, but she saw Xia Mengying standing still, the light in her eyes gradually dissipating.

A surge of uncontrollable hostility was quietly growing within Xia Mengying.

Wang Butcher exclaimed, "Ye Yang, ignore those ghosts and break through with Xia Xia!"

Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "It's too late. This trap is aimed at Xia Mengying."

"Perhaps, from the moment she used blood to ask for directions, it was already too late to save her."

"Keep an eye on Teacher Xia."
