Chapter 317: Condemnation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Shangqing’s entire body was like a shell that had lost its beliefs. All his spirit was gone, and he was only struggling at death’s door. His heart was filled with powerless despair.
In terms of Dao techniques, strength was everything.
In the face of Gu Yanfei, who was far more powerful than him, his tricks and spells were all insignificant. The other party was a cat, and he was a mouse. If the cat casually swiped its claws, the mouse could only run away.
“Borrowing luck,” Gu Yanfei muttered to herself. Her right hand, which was about to snap its fingers, stopped in mid-air and casually twisted it twice.
Even Chu Yi was slightly surprised, but Gu Yanfei’s expression was as calm as water. He even had a feeling that he had expected this outcome.
In the Yu Family there is Shangqing.
Borrowing luck had happened in his previous life.
In her previous life, her elder brother, Gu Yuan, had his luck borrowed by someone.
Before he turned 18, Gu Yuan was a proud son of heaven. He was well-versed in both literature and martial arts and was smart and quick-witted. However, one day, he suddenly fell into dire straits. He became crippled, and his career was ruined. Even if he was in the business world, he would be suppressed by others, and everything wouldn’t go smoothly. Even his close friends and family would be tainted by bad luck and gradually alienate him.
In her previous life, Gu Yanfei only thought that her elder brother was unlucky and ended up like this.
It wasn’t until she reincarnated into the Bright Spirit Realm and entered the Dao that she gradually understood that her elder brother’s luck had actually been borrowed by someone.
Now that she thought about it, although more than a hundred children weren’t lost at that time, there was a group of once high-spirited youths who suddenly fell into dire straits. They were either repeatedly injured or failed at each trial. Their wives had miscarriages repeatedly , or their marriages were repeatedly canceled... Nothing went smoothly for them.
They had all become targets of pity, alienation, and even avoidance. They were mocked and discussed over meals!
Like her brother, their luck had been borrowed.
Gu Yanfei’s dark eyes were as cold as autumn water.
Shangqing stared at Gu Yanfei’s finger with a panicked expression. His willpower had been completely crushed. He continued intermittently,
“Borrowing luck requires a hundred virgin boys and a hundred virgin girls each to take the blood from their hearts. Now, those children are all... locked in a secret room in the Yu Residence.’
“After mastering this technique, the Yu Family will be able to scheme for a hundred years of luck. In a hundred years, it will soar and prosper.”
He panted with difficulty. His clothes and body were burned black by the Karmic Fire, but he was still struggling and holding on. He felt that his soul was already riddled with holes from the Karmic Fire and could shatter at any moment.
He looked at Gu Yanfei pleadingly and said strenuously, “What else do you want to know? I’ll tell you everything... Let me go.”
In his extreme fear, he couldn’t hold back anymore.
Scholar Zhang Min and the middle-aged woman trembled as their anger surged.
If not for the fact that Shangqing had already suffered retribution and was burned by the flames, they would have rushed over and punched him a few times.
Zhang Min hugged his daughter tightly and patted her back repeatedly. He choked up again in fear.
The other citizens who had lost their children couldn’t stand still anymore. All of them had panicked expressions and were on the verge of collapse.
Even if they didn’t understand why it was a technique to borrow luck, just by listening to it, they knew that the technique to kill 200 children must be an extremely vicious evil technique.
Would their child still be alive after falling into the clutches of such a heartless person?!
The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became. They simply didn’t dare to think further.
Gu Yanfei shook her head gently. She seemed to be sighing, and her dark pupils carried a hint of coldness like a winter night.
At this moment, Shangqing was like a frightened bird. When he saw Gu Yanfei shake her head, he shouted in shock, “I’m not the mastermind. I didn’t kidnap the children or kill anyone. ‘
“The person who ordered the kidnapping is the head of the family. He’s in the capital. You’ll know when you ask him.”
That’s right.
His hands were clean because he wanted to have good fortune in his next life. He would never let his hands be stained with human lives and blood.
Gu Yanfei looked at Shangqing indifferently, as if he was looking at a dirty bug.
People like Shangqing would never feel that they were in the wrong, and would always blame others for their greed. They felt that they had just handed a knife to others in passing. It didn’t matter to them whether others killed people with the knife or not.
In his previous life, he had cast a spell and borrowed his brother’s luck. He probably wouldn’t feel guilty at all and would have a clear conscience.
A cold aura spread out from Gu Yanfei’s body.
“Emperor!” The middle-aged woman beside the scholar, Zhang Min, knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly to the Emperor.. In a few moments, her forehead was bruised as she shouted heart-wrenchingly, “Emperor, please uphold justice for me and save my poor child!”
