3371 It's Not a Good Thing

"In addition, even if you know how to hide your vengeful aura, can you guarantee that you would not be tempted to hurt anyone?"

"Even if you don't intend to do so, your vengeful aura would still urge you to do so. There are reasons why ordinary ghosts can't avoid becoming vengeful ghosts."

"The first reason is that they'll still receive strict punishment after they leave for the underworld, which will affect their reincarnation. The second reason is that vengeful ghosts cannot control themselves. The vengeful aura can make you do many things you don't want to do."

"You will have this desire to get more vengeful aura, which will cause you to hurt more people. This is an endless cycle with no solution. Eventually, most vengeful spirits would get killed by an exorcist."

The soul reaper nodded and said, "Lady Xie is right. Not every exorcist is like Lady Xie, who is willing to cleanse vengeful ghosts."

"Some find it very troublesome. Some do not know how to do it. Some just want to kill vengeful ghosts. We have been working for a very long time and only members of the Xie Family are willing to cleanse vengeful ghosts," The soul reaper said.

"This meant that he taught you the way to hide your vengeful aura, but you will not be able to control your vengeful aura and resist the temptation. You will kill more people and your vengeful aura will grow stronger. Eventually, you would lose even the chance to reincarnate. When your vengeful aura reaches a certain level, your name will appear on the wanted list in the underworld."

"When a new name appears on the wanted list, a wanted notice will be sent out. The officials representing the underworld will be allowed to come to Earth to track that vengeful spirit. They would track the vengeful ghost until it is killed. By then, the name will disappear from the wanted list in the underworld."

"By then, the exorcists will not get to decide if you die. No one will be given the chance to cleanse your vengeful aura," Xie Jiling said.

"Do you really think that person did a good deed when he taught you the method to hide your vengeful aura?"

When the vengeful spirit understood everything, she immediately sat on the ground and started trembling.

Her soul almost dissipated and she almost lost her chance to reincarnate.

"Tell me the method he taught you. This is someone with evil intentions. I don't believe that the method was good and that there was nothing wrong with it," Xie Jiling said.

The vengeful ghost felt scared as well.

When she heard what Xie Jiling said, she knew that the person had bad intentions.

What if that person had inflicted harm upon her, but she had no idea!

Therefore, the vengeful ghost told Xie Jiling the method.

Xie Jiling listened carefully and suddenly realized that something wasn't right.

"Wait a second," Xie Jiling said and took out her phone.

The vengeful spirit couldn't help but ponder. Why was it so hard for her to get to the underworld?

How much longer did she have to wait?

Xie Jiling dialed the number and said, "Dad."

"Jiling? it's really late. What happened?" Xie Tongyun wasn't worried if Xie Jiling got into trouble.

He was well aware of Xie Jiling's abilities.

Now, nothing could harm her.

Xie Jiling immediately told Xie Tongyun a random section of the method that the vengeful spirit had told her.

Xie Tongyun looked stern as well.

"Dad. I remember seeing this before, which is why I am calling to confirm this with you," Xie Jiling said, "This section seems to be similar to the power of religious belief. Whenever a vengeful ghost recites this part of the incantation, it would be transferring the other party some of its vengeful aura."

"Yes." Xie Tongyun said in a deep tone, "You remembered correctly."

"How did you find this incantation?" Xie Tongyun asked in a deep tone.

Xie Jiling started telling Xie Tongyun everything the vengeful spirit had just told her.

"Obviously, the person wanted to collect the vengeful aura from vengeful spirits and gather them into someone or something," Xie Jiling said, "I just don't know if it is for someone or something, or if it's for his own use."

Xie Tongyun pondered silently before he said, "Whoever it is and whether he's trying to collect the auras for himself or not, it's all trouble. That person does not have any good intentions."

"No wonder vengeful ghosts are increasing in numbers." Xie Tongyun said, "In the past, only one member of the Xie Family traveled the world. For your generation, it's you. But recently, more and more vengeful ghosts are appearing. All of them are very good at hiding their presence, which makes it very difficult to track them down. So, the Xie Family had no choice but to dispatch a few more members out."

Xie Jiling nodded. This was why Hu Kaiyin would meet Xie Jiwen.

"I will tell your grandfather about this. We will try to find that person. However, we don't know that person's name and appearance. We just know that he is a middle-aged man. That's a wide range." Xie Tongyun felt his head aching.

"We will pay attention. Just go with the flow. Don't waste your energy on this. You have to go to school and banish ghosts. You don't really have the mental capacity to deal with this as well. Of course, if you find clues, feel free to investigate and tell us about them. But if there are no clues, you don't have to search for them." Xie Tongyun said.

"Alright." Xie Jiling nodded.

Xie Jiling hung up the phone and said, "I asked my family. It's just like what I guessed. Someone is collecting vengeful aura."

The two soul reapers were shocked.

Xie Jiling said, "The stronger the vengeful aura, the stronger the vengeful ghost. When its strength grows to a certain level, even I will find it difficult to deal with it. This is what happens with one vengeful ghost. But what if it was a collection of vengeful auras from many vengeful spirits?"

The consequence was beyond one's imagination.

"There are three possibilities. One would be that the vengeful auras would be gathered into one artifact, forming a vengeful artifact. Another would be gathering all the vengeful auras into one vengeful spirit, creating an extremely powerful vengeful spirit. The third would be even scarier. If someone was able to endure such vengeful auras, it meant that he himself would be extremely powerful. With the vengeful auras, he would basically become the combination of an exorcist and a powerful vengeful spirit."

"And now, I don't know if the person who taught her the method was the powerful person or if he was just a subordinate of someone else."

The two soul reapers both looked very serious.

"When you go back, you must tell the Lord of Death about this. I don't think this is as simple as we think it is. Regardless of the possibilities, if he succeeds, the consequence will be dreadful."

"Recently, the number of vengeful ghosts are increasing and it's getting harder to track them down. It's highly possible that all these vengeful spirits had gotten their hands on this incantation. The Xie Family had already dispatched many members, breaking the rule of only having one member traveling the world," Xie Jiling said.

Hearing this, the expression on the two soul reapers completely changed.

There had been times when the Xie Family would break this rule.

It had happened a couple of times before.

But whenever it happened, it meant that something serious would happen.

It had never been a good thing for the Xie Family to dispatch so many people into the world.
