"Master Kong Zhen, rest assured. I know my limits..."

Wang Zhennan threw Chen Qiaoer to the ground aside, then turned around and gave him a harmless smile.

Kong Zhen didn't say anything when he saw this.

He looked around the shabby rental house and frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.

Then, Chen Li saw him slowly take out an antique bronze oil lamp from the canvas bag.

There are many intricate Buddhist runes carved on the body of this lamp, and it emits a faint golden light, which looks quite magical.

The other person gently placed the oil lamp on the shabby wooden table in the middle of the room, then took out a tinderbox and carefully lit it.

As the wick jumped, the whole room seemed to be shrouded in a soft and mysterious light.

Kong Zhen closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and began to recite the ancient life-extending scriptures in a low voice. His voice was low and solemn, echoing in the small space, adding a sense of sacredness to the upcoming life-extending ceremony.

"Today is the Zhongyuan Festival. After the sun sets, the earth's energy and the yin energy will blend with each other. I am already prepared and can start at any time..."

At this time, a voice came from Zhao Degang.

Chen Li looked back and saw that Zhao Degang had already taken out a stack of talisman paper and a peach wood sword from his sleeve and walked in front of Chen Qiaoer.

At this moment, Chen Qiaoer was still in a coma, completely unaware that danger was approaching.

"Amitabha, to avoid unnecessary complications, let's start the ceremony now."

Kong Zhen also came over with a bronze oil lamp.

Seeing this, Chen Li suddenly became anxious.

"Asshole, stop it..."

With red eyes, he rushed forward desperately trying to stop Zhao Degang and Kong Zhen.

But the body passed through both of them again.

"Master Kong Zhen, just start. I will help you suppress her soul with the Soul Locking Formation..."

As Zhao Degang spoke, he picked up the talisman paper and began to arrange it around Chen Qiaoer.

His movements were swift and precise, and every time he pasted a talisman, it was accompanied by a Taoist spell.

Wang Zhennan stood aside, watching Kong Zhen and Zhao Degang busying around. For some reason, his heart suddenly tensed up.

"Master Kong Zhen, Taoist Zhao, if we do this... will there really be no consequences? I don't know why, but I always feel that something bad is going to happen..."

He couldn't help but ask, a hint of worry in his voice.

Kong Zhen bowed with one hand and responded calmly: "Donor Wang, everything has its cause and effect. We are just following the will of heaven and helping those in need. As for the future troubles... as long as we act with a clear conscience, there is no need to worry too much."

"Of course, if you think that Mr. Li's life is not as important as this little girl's, then we can stop the ceremony immediately, but you will have to explain to Mr. Li."

Hearing this, Wang Zhennan immediately shut his mouth.

While arranging the magic array, Zhao Degang sneered and said, "When did City Lord Wang become so sentimental? This world is originally a world where the strong prey on the weak. This is a natural thing. We are just following the laws of nature. Everything the weak have is born to be dedicated to the strong. This is like the antelopes in the wilderness. They are born to provide food for lions and leopards, right?"

Wang Zhennan shook his head and said, "I'm not pitying her. I just feel like there's someone else in this room. He's been watching us. Do you feel it?"

Zhao Degang smiled and said, "City Lord Wang, you don't have to worry too much. Today is the Ghost Festival, and this house is located at a three-way intersection. In Feng Shui, this location is the Sansha position, which is most likely to attract ghosts and evildoers. The reason why you have this feeling is probably that there are ghosts wandering in the house. You don't have to worry about it. This kind of ghost dare not show up in front of the living. At most, it will just try to scare you..."

"However, I would like to advise you... You'd better not keep thinking about playing with women. Men are yang and women are yin. The coordination of yin and yang is a good thing, but if you over-coordinate, your body may become yin-dominant and yang-deficient, which will cause a lot of dirty things to follow you..."

While he was speaking, Zhao Degang had already pasted out all the talismans in his hand.

Then he took out a blood-red skirt from his cloth bag.

"I personally painted this red skirt with black cat blood. Red is good for Mr. Li's fate. It can increase the success rate of the Soul Locking Technique and ensure that it is foolproof..."

After saying that, he picked up the unconscious Chen Qiaoer on the ground, and then put the cat blood red skirt that didn't fit her at all on Chen Qiaoer's thin body. After Zhao Degang was done.

Kong Zhen also immediately tied some life-saving props to Chen Qiaoer one by one.

Straw rope, copper weight, red embroidered shoes...

Finally, he took out a blood-stained peach wood nail from his hand, aimed it at Chen Qiaoer's crown, and hit it without hesitation.

"--puff!!!"

The moment when the peach wood nail pierced Chen Qiaoer's forehead.

A large amount of bright red blood suddenly gushed out of Chen Qiaoer's seven orifices.

And her pupils, which were originally closed, suddenly widened into lanterns.

She opened her little mouth and tried to let out a moan of pain.

But I don't know what's going on.

At this time, her throat could no longer make a sound.

It was as if something had muffled his voice.

She could only struggle desperately and twist her body frantically.

"The ceremony has already begun. Donor Wang, quickly subdue her and never let her soul leave her body..."

Kong Zhen raised his head and gave Wang Zhennan a wink.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhennan hurried over and pressed Chen Qiaoer to the ground.

Maybe it's because he is too heavy.

After Chen Qiaoer was pressed to the ground, several of her ribs were broken, and her arms, which were tied behind her back with the straw rope, were also fractured.

"Damn it, damn it, all of you bastards deserve to die..."

Seeing his daughter being brutally murdered by these three beasts, Chen Li's eyes were about to burst and his face was filled with anger.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had let these three people off too easily by killing them directly before.

If I had known that my daughter would be abused like this by these three people before she died.

When I killed these three people.

I should torture them first!

Time passes little by little.

As the flame on the oil lamp gradually went out.

Kong Zhen and the other two finally completed this inhumane life-extending ritual.

At this time, Chen Qiaoer was also hung on the beam inside the house.

It looked like it was swinging back and forth like the pendulum of a wall clock, helpless and pitiful.

Chen Qiaoer is not dead yet, but she is already on the verge of death from the torture of this life-extending ritual.

"Amitabha~ Good, good!"

Kong Zhen put on his ancestral robes again, wiped the blood on his hands with the paper towel on the table, took a deep breath, looked back at Zhao Degang and Wang Zhennan, put his hands together and said: "My mission has been completed, and the next matter will be handed over to you two..."

After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Degang and Wang Zhennan to reply, he opened the door and left the room that was already filled with the smell of blood.
