Chapter 581: Attacking the Heart is Paramount

a!"Wasn't anything scary about today's eventsThe old woman inquired with loving concern."No, I'm with my grandfather, not afraid at all!""That's great!"The old man immediately turned his head and said...Musi Nian observed the changes in the boy's aura and immediately became alert. He took a step forward, ready to strike at any moment.

Liàn yī however waved her hand to let Mù Xīn retreat, she said calmly:

If I'm not mistaken, the one who made you that promise set you up to have the power to get revenge.

But after you get revenge, you find yourself uncontrollably attacking everyone around you, even those who helped you.

The vortex of resentment that had just formed around the boy dissipated instantly because of Ripple's words, and his eyes returned to black.

"They knew I was bought and sold, yet no one called the police when I was abused. They only gave me two bites to eat so I wouldn't starve to death. They are accomplices too."

The little boy spoke in a hoarse voice.

Have you ever thought, maybe the Zeng couple never told the villagers that you were bought What if they told everyone that you were adopted from an orphanage instead

As bystanders, they were well aware of what an orphanage was like. You at least still had your parents living with you in the Zeng family, but returning to the orphanage at your age would certainly be difficult.

So they just made the decision they thought was right without asking you, the person involved, what you thought.

Moreover, you haven't shown any desire to leave this family either!

The ripples of the words plunged the boy into silence. These were things he hadn't and wouldn't consider. Before his death, all he wanted was to eat, to stay warm, and not be driven out.

"You are a good child, even when you lose your self-awareness, you only scare those who bully you but don't harm those who have shown kindness to you."

Until you found yourself attacking them too, and realized that what you were doing was wrong, which is why you brought the entire village into your domain.

Because you know that this would definitely attract someone like me, a celestial master, and I can help you out of your predicament. Am I right"

Ripple whispered softly.

The little boy gazed again at the ripples with his dark, shiny eyes, then nodded and said:

So, can the celestial master help me

"Yes, but it will weaken the resentment within you. It will be painful, and you will become weak. Are you prepared"

"I've avenged myself and have long wanted to leave."

The little boy had the expression of someone who wanted to be free from this as soon as possible.

Okay, do what I said!

Ripples raised her hand and threw nine jade talismans to Mu Xinyan, opening her mouth to command:

In the past years, set up a dispelling grievances array in this courtyard.

Yes, Master!

Museian took the formation materials given by Lian Yi and, in the courtyard, used a specialized ink stick to draw a complex array on the ground. Then, according to the five elements' directions, he activated nine jade talismans and placed them in their corresponding positions.

He knew this was Master testing him. If it were Master who had arranged it, she would just need to raise her hand.

The resentment formation was in a half-activated state, so the young boy could feel his powerful strength being subtly drawn into the formation.

"Child, sit in the middle and persevere until the end, then you will get what you want."

The boy glanced at the formation shimmering with silver light, sat down without a second thought, and closed his eyes, saying in a hoarse voice:

"I'm ready! You better hurry, he's coming!"

Upon hearing this, Lian Yi knew exactly who the other party was referring to. She immediately retrieved her cursed dagger from her spatial pouch and threw it into the air.

The dagger hovered directly above the boy's head, then synchronized with the formation and began absorbing the resentment from within him.

"Master, is the person he mentioned a Taoist priest who sets up evil formations"

Although Mu Xinyuan phrased it as a question, his tone was very certain.

"That should do it. If I'm going to fight them, you keep the villagers far away, so they don't get splashed with blood."

Ripple said calmly.

Mulanian was taken aback, he felt that his master just seemed to have made a sarcastic remark.

Before he could think of how to respond, the young boy began to wail in pain, and his entire soul became very unstable.

The little boy's face also flitted between warmth, peacefulness, apathy, and even a manic rage, as if he had several different personalities.

Liri frowned, she didn't expect the other party to value the little boy so much, they actually went so far as to tamper with him beforehand. No wonder the boy could sense it himself.

If the other party is not so urgent, and wait until the boy kills everyone in the village, resentment will accumulate to a certain extent, and he will become a vengeful spirit who only knows how to kill.

He didn't realize that a vengeful spirit was the easiest to control, or perhaps the other party was afraid of their efforts being in vain, so they left a backdoor beforehand.

Unfortunately, Musi came just in time and knew himself well enough to bring his master.

The man in black, who had already reached the outskirts of the village, seemed to have sensed something. His expression hardened, and he quickened his pace.

Liàn Yī watched the young boy who seemed like he would vanish at any moment. She raised her hand and shot a merit point of light, striking the boy's soul. His ferocious and frenzied expression gradually calmed down, eventually returning to peace.

"Master, what was that It calmed the vengeful spirits so quickly."n Ripple sees everything back on track, it contacts its communicators again:"Have you thought about the millstone, ""Fortunately, I arrived just in time. She was already lining up to be reborn. Howeve...
