159 A relic

Chu Lian felt her heart soar up, she looked at Song Dong Ming with a smile as her lips curled in a smile, " Then why don't you——"

" I regret not trusting Juan'er when she told me that you were a witch," said Song Dong Ming causing her smile to stiffen as she looked at him with shock. Song Dong Ming smiled as he looked at the stunned expression of Chu Lian and nodded his head, " That's right Juan'er knew that you were the one who was behind her sudden sickness, she would often tell me that you were a witch that you are the one who is responsible for her condition but I didn't believe her. I mean who would? Dark magic? Witches? That's something no one will believe it but," he shook his head with a sigh that was laden with grief and regret. " But now that I am locked here by you, for the sake of your witchcraft, I can't help but feel regretful that I didn't trust my wife when she told me that you were a witch."

Face stiffening with every word of Song Dong Ming, Chu Lian glared at him as she breathed heavily while holding her handkerchief against her nose.  " Very well, if you miss your dear Juan'er then you can watch the moon through the window and stay here for the rest of your life.  Do not say that I didn't give you a chance!" With that, she whirled around and headed straight to the stairs. However, just as she was climbing up—— Song Dong Ming called her from behind. " Juan'er will never forgive you, Chu Lian."

She paused after hearing his words as she turned to look at him over her shoulder. Song Dong Ming was smiling as he looked at her with eyes that had a wild look in them, " She will definitely come for you,  my Juan'er was like that, she was pretty vengeful. I am afraid your good days will come to a near end soon."

" And how will she?" said Chu Lian with a bravado that she didn't have inside her, though she was putting a brave front. Anyone could see how hard she was gritting her teeth. " When her soul has been locked by me? How will she come and get her revenge? Will she send one of her ghost friends after me?"

Song Dong Ming wasn't the slightest bit offended by her question. Instead, he looked at her with an eerie smile and simply spat two words but those two words were enough to make her skin crawl all over.

As Chu Lian got in her car, she realised that she was dripping with cold sweat and her breathing has turned a lot more laboured than the time when she stepped into the abandoned house. She patted her face with the back of her hand and wiped the sweat off, there was no way, right? There was no way that Song Dong Ming knew what he was talking about, maybe he was just trying to scare her —— because if Wei Juan'er soul would have broken out of the soul restricting array, she would have definitely come after her but clearly she hasn't doesn't it mean that she was still trapped in the array?

She gunned the engine of her car and jumped when the engine came to life with a low rumble. Unconsciously, her fingers stiffened around the steering wheel as she looked back and saw nothing but wilderness—— though the thought did come to her mind when she realised that Song Yan has hired someone to break the luck-snatching array but then she scraped the thought, after all, the master said that only a very high-level spirit master will be able to break through the grudge field that Wei Juan'er soul has created around the grave where they have marked the array.

And it wouldn't be broken that easily. That was what she thought and believed.

She has seen the grudge that Wei Juan was holing and she would have definitely come after her if her soul was to be liberated from the array in fact she was even prepared for it …. The fact that Wei Juan didn't come for her life, doesn't it mean that her soul was still trapped?

But then why did Song Dong Ming say those words?

' Is she?' Chu Lian felt goosebumps break all over her skin as she recalled Song Dong Ming's words, she believed that she has thought everything through but now —- she couldn't help but feel a bit spooked. Though she was prepared to die, no one would like it if death really came after them, thinking about what Song Dong Ming said, she couldn't help but think of calling the master back as soon as possible.

Because she really needed to have that grave checked if not—- she would be driven crazy. And at the same time, she needed to get a hold of the master who was helping Song Yan because only then her heart would be at ease.

Song  Yan sneezed as she closed the book that she has gotten from the condemned soul and rubbed the tip of her nose as she mused, " Who is missing me at such an odd hour?"

She looked at the French window and then shook her head, it was seven in the evening, so she couldn't think of anyone who would be remembering her at this moment. Even Old man Au wouldn't be missing her since she told him that she will arrive at his house past four in the morning when the powers of vengeful spirits were the weakest.

" Maybe it's your husband," said Fang Yanli as she floated around the roof with her legs crossed and arms behind her head. " The guy has been living a life without his wife for eight years, maybe he just thought of you because he didn't get to see you in the morning."

Song Yan rolled her eyes as she picked up the book from the side of her bed and threw it at Fang Yanli who caught it with ease as a poltergeist spirit. She raised the book in her hand and flipped through it before asking, " So, what exactly is this?"

" It's a relic for demonic cultivators," answered Song Yan as she stared at the book with a sickened expression. " Like a holy book is for us."
