When the wall cracked open, the ghost holding Song Yan by her throat screamed in agony. She looked at Song Yan in shock and surprise as if she hadn't expected this to happen.
"It's time for you to Rest In Peace," Song Yan remarked coldly as she threw a talisman at the ghost who was holding her by her neck. This time the female ghost couldn't vanish as the centre of the grudge field was broken, with the talisman aimed at her from such a close proximity, the female ghost had no escape.
" AHHHHH!!!" The female ghost screamed along with the child spirit in her belly. Black fumes started to ooze out of her skin as soon as the talisman touched her skin causing her pale skin to burn. Small glowering patches appeared on the skin of the female ghost as she screamed in agony before burning to a crisp.
Once the malicious spirits were gone, Song Yan summoned her scythe and absorbed the evil aura left behind by the malicious spirits. As soon as the dark aura was sucked by the blade of the scythe, the yin energy lingering inside the attic and the Tan family's ancestral house was gone. Even the temperature of the house returned to normal.
" What a hassle," Song Yan remarked as she took out a talisman and placed it on her neck. With the talisman on her neck, the injuries left by the malicious spirit were treated and black fumes wafted off her skin. Song Yan watched the black fumes leave her body and then calmly stepped out of the attic before heading towards the room where the centre of the grudge field was.
The centre of the grudge field was on the second floor, where the yin energy was the heaviest. Even though the malicious spirit made sure that no one would be able to detect the centre of the grudge field after levelling up her cultivation level, Song Yan was a tenth-rank celestial master. With her strength, it did not take a lot of spiritual energy to deduce the centre of the grudge field and with the two malicious spirits protecting this floor, it was easier to find.
The second she saw that the two ghosts were lurking on the third floor she knew that the grudge field was on the second floor because they tried to fool her into believing that the centre was on the third floor by haunting that floor.
This was the reason why she left Fang Yanli on the second floor and went to the third on her own, as Fang Yanli was a ghost instead of a human, the two malicious spirits could not sense her which made it easier for Fang Yanli to break the core.
" This corpse has been buried here for more than thirty years," Fang Yanli remarked as soon as Song Yan walked inside the room of the old matriarch of the Tan family. " Yet it has been preserved so well that it looks like a few days old."
Song Yan looked at the corpse that was buried in the wall and her eyes flashed. She could see that the woman was alive when she was buried inside the wall by the Old Matriarch. Thats right.
Though the one who stabbed this woman first was the Old Master of the Tan family in the end he couldn't be harsh with her and left her alive. It could be said that he did not wish to see his mistress die.
However, the old matriarch of the Tan family was a woman of heart with deep waters lurking inside.
She took advantage of the weakened state of the mistress and killed her along with her child.
And to make sure that no one would find the body of the mistress, she preserved the body and then buried it inside the wall of her bedroom making it look like the mistress left.
Song Yan was half certain that the old matriarch was a woman with a perverse heart which was why she buried the corpse of the mistress in her bedroom as she wanted the mistress to see her sleep with the man that the mistress could not obtain.
It was no wonder that the spirit of the mistress turned malicious and set up a grudge field. And as the person who killed her was the old matriarch instead of the old master, the mistress's malicious spirit only attacked the women related to the Tan family.
At first, it was only the madam of the Tan family but then the grudge of the mistress turned heavier and crueler causing every woman related to the Tan family to be killed.
Of course, all of this was just her guesses and nothing more, which was why she did not tell Tan Si.
" What should we do with the corpse?" Fang Yanli asked. Now that the corpse was found, they couldn't just leave it here, could they?
Song Yan calmly looked at her and then took a step forward before taking out a hellfire talisman. She threw the talisman at the corpse and watched it get burned in the fire of hell that she borrowed from the Grim Reaper.
" You…" Fang Yanli thought that Song Yan was going to bring the corpse out and let her get buried like a respectable person which was why she couldn't help but get surprised when she saw Song Yan burning the corpse.
" Surprised?" Song Yan questioned as she looked at Fang Yanli who nodded her head in response. Seeing this, Song Yan smiled and said, " Even though this woman was killed unjustly, she was not a good woman either and after becoming a ghost instead of reincarnating she chose to harm the living, there is no reason for her to see the sunlight and harm anyone else."
Song Yan then turned to look at the burning corpse and stated, " If this corpse is brought out then the Tan family will be dragged in a hot mess. It's better to silently take care of the matter. Anyway, her spirit turned malicious and was exorcised even if her corpse is buried, she will never reincarnate."
Fang Yanli did not say anything and quietly watched the corpse getting burned. What Song Yan said indeed made sense though it looked a bit harsh, this was better.
