Chapter 344  Your mother

Liu Hui Ying narrowed her eyes after she listened to everything that the ghost of the witch said, if there was an evil spirit right beside the Grand Dowager of that time and that woman killed the only person who was capable of dealing with that spirit doesn't that mean that she has simply left the evil spirit to roam freely and without any bounds at that?

" Was there someone else who could have taken the evil spirit down?" Liu Hui Ying asked to which the ghost of the witch shook her head and then said, " I was the best which was why the Emperor of that time called me, if not then he would not have called for me. Other than me there was no one else who could have taken that spirit down."

The fire flickered under the wind as the chill in the graveyard started to cover the entire space as the ghost of the witch raised her hand in the air and then twisted it such that it made a complete circle. The smoke that was rising from the fire whirled and floated towards the ghost of the witch where she has drawn an imaginary circle before it started to shimmer and mould into the same sphere that was drawn by the ghost of the witch.

The ghost of the witch next raised her hands again and this time the water on the ground that was left behind by the rain earlier this morning rose into the air and mixed together with the smoke that was hovering in the shape of a circle in the air before it started to take the form of an array.

Liu Hui Ying stared at the inscriptions and the array's design before she opened her lips and said, " This is an array of protection born from the last gratitude of a person who was on the verge of death."

" Thats right, this is the last gratitude array," the ghost of the witch nodded as she flicked her wrist and everything fell on the ground just as quickly as it rose in the air causing a soft noise to echo in the graveyard as the water that was flying in the air pitter-pattered on the ground.

The ghost of the witch stared at the water that was on the ground and sighed with a solemn look on her face, before she parted her dark lips and said, " The grand dowager soon found out the truth about her brother when the latter killed her, I was there because I was haunting her from the day she poisoned me and my disciples, ruining our lives with her actions. It seemed that she could not ignore the blood thirst and ruthlessness of the evil spirit behind her which was why she cottoned on to the happenings that were taking place around her."

" But that foolish woman chose to confront her brother instead of running away, the result is something that you can easily decipher—— she was killed by her brother who framed her death as an assassination attempt by the family you belong to."

" Why would he do that? Unless he has something against them," Liu Hui Ying questioned, no matter what she could not understand this thing. There were so many people to blame but he chose the Liu family as a target, most probably There has to be some sort of connection that she could not point her finger at because every evil spirit had a reason to come back to the lands on which he once walked or else they would have walked to other life.

Only those who cannot let go of their grudges would chase after a life that was worse than death.

" You are wise, there is something that no one knows about," the ghost of the witch sighed as she picked up a stone from the ground and then started drawing an ancient inscription that Liu Hui Ying has only seen in the books before. She raised her head and then said, " Put a drop of your blood in this."

Liu Hui Ying frowned but she made sure that the ghost of the witch was not tricking her before she pricked her finger with the hairpin that was in her hair and then watched the blood drop on the inscription that was drawn by the ghost of the witch

Her blood dropped on the inscription before it started to frizzle and sputter like water dropping in oil. Soon it was covering a part of the inscriptions while the next second, the land on the other side started to bubble and forth before dark red blood that looked as if it was black started to ooze out of the ground on its own, causing Liu Hui Ying's eyes to widen.

her head. " This is what happened years ago when the evil spirit targeted the Liu family, he wanted to " Are you doing black magic?" She asked and was surprised to see that the ghost of the witch shook kill everyone in their line. His reason was simple when he was alive he was a dark priest who fell in love with the priestess that hailed from the very family you now belong to —— however he was betrayed when the priestess chose to seal him away instead of accepting his love."

" After that he swore that he will make it such that there will be no priestess without him, when he was revived into another body, he fulfilled the oath that he took —— he merged the blood that flowed in his body with that of the priestess who was yet to awaken causing a bond to be formed between the two families which made them impossible to disentangle from each other."

The ghost of the witch sighed, as she said, " A few years ago he tried to kill the same priestess who was yet to awaken but the latter was fortunate enough to escape."

" You mean to say that he is creating chaos like this for years because he was dumped?" Liu Hui Ying asked with a frown to which the ghost of the witch smiled and said, " There are all forms of love—- filled with consent, pain or twisted intentions."
