On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

Chapter 158 Ghost Gathering Spirit Bead
"Are you sure?" Ye Zhiyu's voice rose an octave higher.

She knew that there would be no treasures that could be easily obtained for free in a place like this. Why couldn't she control this hand?
Rong'er was a bystander, so naturally he was not as panicked as Ye Zhiyu.

"Girl, don't worry about why they suddenly moved. Isn't it okay if they don't move now? On the contrary, they will create a way for us."

Ye Zhiyu came back to his senses after hearing these words. He took a closer look and saw that the gray shadow that almost touched the top of his head was still in the same slightly bent posture.

And it was precisely because of the gathering of the gray shadows that Ye Zhiyu's method of sneaking out under the wall actually became feasible.

It's just... Ye Zhiyu's suspicious eyes glanced at the many gray figures.

Gritting his teeth, Ye Zhiyu sat down instead and took out the box containing the clear beads.

After calming down, Ye Zhiyu opened the lid of the box and stared nervously at the gray figure in front of him.

One, two... Ye Zhiyu counted his pounding heartbeats. After counting a hundred, he still didn't see any movement from those gray figures, and tentatively put his finger gently on the bead.

Soon, the gray shadows were like sunflowers chasing the sun, slowly turning their faces in the direction of Ye Zhiyu.

When Ye Zhiyu saw this scene, his heart went crazy. He still pressed the cold beads under his hands and waited with bated breath. When he saw the gray shadows moving forward or behind slowly towards his position, he understood the key.

Putting the bead aside, Ye Zhiyu frowned and tapped his fingertips on the table.

Rong'er rarely saw Ye Zhiyu so irritable, "Girl, is there something wrong with this bead?"

Ye Zhiyu chuckled lightly, "There's nothing special about this bead. It's just that I haven't seen this thing for so long that I forgot about it for a moment."

"No, the person who came up with such a trick is really too smart. Even I have never thought that this spirit-gathering bead can really control people like this."

"Girl, I don't understand." Rong'er still looked confused.

Ye Zhiyu's eyes were complicated, and he stared at the bead for a while before speaking again, "Spirit Gathering Bead, as the name suggests, can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own. Because its effect is very slow, it is often used for enlightenment of Taoists."

"And what is gathered in this bead is not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the spiritual energy of these ghosts. That is why they gather around this bead, but they have no spirituality."

"How is this possible?" Rong'er frowned, "All things have animism, and the aura in the soul is related to vitality. If this aura is sucked away, these ghosts should have been wiped out long ago. How can they remain? The next gray shadow?"

"Yes, I want to know too." Ye Zhiyu said with a smile on his face, but his voice was cold, "Who is the master who can come up with such a sinister method? What is his plan?"

Saying that, Ye Zhiyu picked up the crystal clear spirit-gathering bead, and the gray shadows sensed their own imperfections with the aura on her body, and rushed towards Ye Zhiyu one after another.

"Girl..." The gray shadows were layered on top of each other, surrounding Ye Zhiyu like a pack of wolves. It would only take a few breaths for those gray shadows to invade Ye Zhiyu's body. Rong'er saw it in his eyes. , couldn't help but remind aloud.

Ye Zhiyu endured the coldness in his hands and the pressure of the approaching ghosts, and calmly raised the arm holding the beads in front of his chest.

Soon, the first gray shadow touched the bead, and then, the second, third...

Rong'er could clearly see that with every gray shadow touching the bead, the bead's shining light dimmed. After all the gray shadows in the room had dissipated, the originally shiny bead had become dull and ordinary. You can't see the dazzling appearance just now. "Is this... are they going in or coming out?" Rong'er stepped forward and wanted to touch the bead, but Ye Zhiyu dodged it.

Shaking his hands that were red from the cold, Ye Zhiyu threw the beads back into the box and couldn't help but breath at the red/swollen fingers.

"Who knows, anyway, they have recovered the spiritual power that belongs to their original bodies, and they just don't want to scare people around in front of my eyes. It's just that I don't know what happened to this bead to have such effect. You are still a spirit body now, so don't touch it easily. Well done."

After finishing speaking, he muttered to himself in confusion, "This movement is not small. No one has come to investigate at the moment. Could it be that the Imperial Master suddenly went crazy and destroyed their nest in one fell swoop?"

Xiao Qingrang did not suddenly go berserk as Ye Zhiyu thought.Although he had just gone through a chase, Xiao Qingrang didn't show any signs of the prisoner's embarrassment except that his hands were tightly tied behind his back. His demeanor was also calm and calm, as if he was not the murderer behind the scenes that he was focused on tracking down.

Seeing the monstrous Taoist priest who didn't even bother to look at him, Jie Jie laughed strangely and said, "How come the Master of the State is here?"

Xiao Qingrang didn't panic when he heard that his identity was revealed.

He glanced around briefly and saw that everyone was hiding their appearance in their hoods. There were also a few people gathering together and whispering because the demon revealed their identity. After a change of thought, he spoke slowly: "Of course I'm here to track down your evil deeds."

"What a loud tone! You came here alone, you really don't take me seriously!" The demon slapped the table, and his rugged face almost pressed against Xiao Qingrang.

Xiao Qing did not move away, but looked back at the demon's eyes of different sizes, "I don't even know who you are, how can I put you in my eyes?"

When the demon heard this, his mandibles on both sides bulged like toads, and they squirted as often as he was breathing heavily.

Seeing him saying a few words, Xiao Qingrang was distracted. One of the hooded people held a staff and knocked hard on the iron staff in his hand.

As soon as the solid sound of "dong dong" sounded, the demon was like a dog being reined in, reluctantly retreating from Xiao Qing's side.

The few people who were whispering just now also left in an instant, not daring to say anything anymore.

Knowing that this person was the one in charge, Xiao Qingrang braced himself and tried to find some clues from him.

Tiezhang spoke with a slightly older male voice, "Why are you talking so much nonsense with him? Now that he has been investigated, what do you guys think of dealing with him?"

The hoods gathered together again in twos and threes, and the occasional peeking eyes came from under the hoods, as if Xiao Qingrang was not a living person, but a piece of meat waiting to be eaten by them.

Before anyone else could say anything, the demon jumped onto the table in front of Xiao Qingrang in a crazy manner, "Kill him! Kill him, and the country's defense will be reduced by one point!"

Although the iron staff flew up and drove the demon down, it did not reject his proposal.

Following the demonic suggestion, more and more people expressed their attitude in silence.

Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, the iron staff slowly stood up, spoke to Xiao Qingrang, and sentenced him to death.

"National teacher, offended."
