Chapter 587: Want to leave? First, let me search your soul.
As the name "Xiao Guang" was spoken by Qin Ruan, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere became tense.
Lou Hong was also affected by the name "Xiao Guang," and his eyes widened with dark blood oozing out from them.
He gritted his teeth in anger and said, "It's that scum! He kept me locked up here for several months. I want to kill him!"
The anger and hatred in his heart surged, as if he had an unending feud with Xiao Guang.
Even in his rage, Qin Ruan could still sense the fear in Lin Hao's pale face.
From all the appearances, Xiao Guang seemed to be the manipulator behind everything.
Qin Ruan licked her upper teeth, her eyes as cold as the moon, and her delicate face showed a deep thirst for blood.
She once again recalled the words of Xiao Guang and his sister to her.
Now, in retrospect, many details didn't stand up to scrutiny.
Xiao Guang said that Lou Hong bought him and his sister at the auction in the Zhenpin Pavilion.
But why would Lou Hong, a student, go to the Zhenpin Pavilion? The pavilion was a private club owned by the Nangong family, and only people closely associated with them could enter.
Lou Hong, a seemingly ordinary college student, how did he manage to get in?
Xiao Guang never said how he died.
He mentioned that he helped Lou Hong with many unspeakable things, including the incident with Huang Biao, which led to Huang Biao's near-death.
Xiao Guang implied that Lou Hong valued him very much.
If that was the case, why didn't Xiao Guang protect his sister and fully control Lou Hong?
Xiao Guang described Lou Hong as a powerful evil cultivator.
Lou Hong was cruel and had recently appeared in the capital, intending to infiltrate the gray area forces in the city.
Huang Biao, on the other hand, described Lou Hong as even more powerful, making him a formidable adversary that he had to be cautious about.
The Lou Hong that Qin Ruan had personally witnessed was just an ordinary college student.
And the five ghost in front of her had not been involved in any killings.
They were not the wicked ghost who served Lou Hong as described by Xiao Guang.
Xiao Guang, Zhenpin Pavilion, Huang Biao, Huang Mao (dead), Lou Hong.
The mastermind behind all this had already surfaced.
Qin Ruan furrowed her brows and sank into deep thought, her expression becoming obscure.
Why did Xiao Guang and his sister deceive her?
What did they really want?
She wasn't sure if it was just her illusion, but she felt like she had walked into a trap.
Everything was interconnected, just to lure her into it.
Xiao Guang and his sister came for her.
Although it was inexplicable, the only conclusion she could draw from Xiao Guang and his sister's deception was this.
They provoked her, angered her, and then fabricated a tragic experience.
The five ghosts had gathered around Qin Ruan while she was deep in thought.
They exchanged glances and, with lightning speed, moved from different directions towards Qin Ruan.
Qin Ruan raised her head, and a cold light gleamed in her icy eyes as she sneered.
As the five ghosts were about to touch her body, a golden light burst forth from her, repelling them.
"Bang!"
The five ghosts crashed into the wall, looking miserable.
Separated from his body again, Lou Hong cried out, "Waaah!"
He cried loudly, sounding quite pitiful.
"I don't want to live anymore! He's too cruel to the ghosts!"
The Five ghosts, who was closest to him, lay on the ground, handing him a piece of severed leg.
She seriously said to ghost Two, "Don't be foolish; you died a long time ago, there's no chance of survival."
Ghost Two's crying became even more sorrowful upon hearing this.
Using his freshly attached arm, he reached out to receive the severed leg ghost Five handed to him.
A foot in flat shoes stepped on the severed limb covered in black mist.
Ghost Two and Ghost Five looked up.
Qin Ruan looked down on them from above, her voice cold as she asked, "How long have you been imprisoned here?"
Ghost Two replied with anger, "What's that got to do with you?"
Ghost Five said with a sigh, "It's been several months, I can't remember the exact time."
Ghost Two's reaction was more emotional, while Ghost Five seemed more composed, not daring to offend Qin Ruan easily.
Seeing the result of Qin Ruan's attack, the other three ghosts became wary and didn't dare to underestimate her.
She was clearly not an ordinary Celestial Master if she possessed such astonishing power.
Qin Ruan looked at the five ghosts and asked, "Do you know a lot about Xiao Guang?"
Ghost Five pondered for a moment and slowly replied, "When Xiao Guang brought us here, we were all newly created ghosts. He should come from a mysterious sect, which gives him greater abilities than us."
"As for which faction he belongs to, I'm not sure. Several months ago, he captured us and kept us here, absorbing our power for the woman by his side."
"Recently, that woman couldn't hold on and died, but he still didn't let us go. Unfortunately, he absorbed a lot of our power."
Ghost Five sighed as he talked about their miserable fate.
Qin Ruan nodded, showing that she understood.
She had just acquired the
ability to search souls, so she used it to confirm the truth.
She saw through Ghost Two's memories that Xiao Guang had taken possession of Lou Hong's body during the game.
She saw Xiao Guang and the woman being intimate, and Xiao Guang continuously absorbing power from the five ghosts.
About a month ago, Xiao Guang had stopped coming to see them.
He gave up absorbing the power from the five ghosts to extend the woman's life.
One month ago... This timing was rather delicate.
Things were becoming more and more mysterious.
The five ghosts were innocent.
Qin Ruan was confident in her soul-searching technique.
She removed the force that kept the five ghosts from leaving the room.
The five ghosts, hearing that they were allowed to leave, immediately rushed towards the door.
But just as they were about to pass through the door, a force bounced them back.
Qin Ruan observed this and raised an eyebrow, confirming her suspicion.
Xiao Guang had used some kind of ability to imprison them in this room.
Amid their grumbles, Qin Ruan calmly walked to the door.
She lowered her head and saw a yellow talisman paper on the floor at the entrance.
It looked old and had been here for quite some time.
Qin Ruan gently picked it up with her toe, causing the mysterious force that enveloped the room to dissipate.
She stretched her hand and slowly pushed open the door.
"Madam, are you alright?"
Lin Hao and the hidden guards of the Hou family immediately stepped forward to inquire.
