Just as Feishuang took back the flickering karma fire that was about to disappear, Lu Wan and other skeletons returned to the yard again.
The situation reversed in an instant, and the expressions of Ming Ze and the other two became increasingly ugly.
But, "Where are Qiao'er and the others? What did you just do to them?" The impatient skeleton pointed at Mingyue and asked loudly.
"I saw that after your strange fire passed, they disappeared. Where did you take them?"
Some skeletons were concerned about Mingyue's strength and spoke softly to smooth things over: "Girl, you should have realized that they were all controlled by those two people. They didn't intend to deal with you. They are also pitiful people!"
"Yeah, we thought they had been reincarnated a long time ago, but we didn't expect them to...Alas!"
"Thanks to you, girl, for letting us know the truth. Otherwise, we would have followed their footsteps in the future. But girl, they are really innocent. You are so powerful, you will surely make them come to their senses, right?"
As the skeleton finished speaking, the whole courtyard fell silent, as if everyone was waiting for Mingyue's answer.
"Regain your sanity?" Mingyue crossed her arms and looked at the innocent skeletons indifferently. A sneer appeared on her thin lips. "Guess why they became other people's magic weapons? And do you think others would allow their magic weapons to contain souls that might betray their master at any time?"
Since people have chosen to use these evil spirits as magic weapons, they will naturally not be allowed to have independent consciousness. This is a very simple truth.
What else? Waiting for the magic weapon to backfire on its master
But not everyone can rationally accept the truth, such as the group of skeletons in the yard.
A skeleton flashed in front of Mingyue and stretched out his hand to her: "Don't say so much nonsense, hand them over first, and we sisters will separate the rest."
The rest of the skeletons followed suit:
"Yes, you should hand over those sisters."
"We are not on your side. We only helped you because of Sister Wan's orders. You should hand over Sister Yingshi and the others quickly, or don't blame us for turning our backs on you."
"You seem to be so righteous on the surface, but who knows if you are plotting against us just like those two."
"Hmph, what substitution method, what reincarnation, what can break the formation, no one in this world can be trusted..."
Perhaps it was because they had witnessed the Jiang family's shamelessness that the skeletons' hearts, which had just opened a door, closed again tightly, and they even began to doubt Mingyue's intentions.
Seeing this, Quan An's eyes rolled and he immediately came up with a plan.
“Daoyou, you actually possess such a powerful magic weapon. With just a single fight, you have eliminated all the evil spirits in the Thousand Ghost Banner that our ancestors of Changsheng Sect spent hundreds of years to make. Your method is truly brilliant. I cannot help but admire you.” Quan An endured the pain on his face, suddenly raised his head, stared at Mingyue with a pair of gleaming eyes, and said with gritted teeth.
Although he said words of admiration, his eyes were full of ferocity, hatred and anger, as well as a fierce murderous aura.
"But the donor's actions were too cruel. He ignored the fact that the women still had a chance to survive and just killed them. It really goes against the harmony of nature and harms the good karma." Mingze clasped his hands together, shook his head with a compassionate look on his face, and continued Quan'an's words.
The two of them sang in unison, and as soon as they finished speaking, the skeletons in the yard became restless again, and they all surrounded Mingyue.
After all, they were sisters who had been together for many years. Even if they had had conflicts in the past and even if those sisters had been apart for a long time, in their hearts, they were still one. But now, those sisters were killed by this female cultivator.
At this time, the skeletons had forgotten that they had died long ago, and also forgot that Mingyue had always been helping them. At this time... they just wanted to avenge those sisters.
Just when many skeletons were about to take action, Lu Wan's hoarse voice suddenly rang out: "Listen to her explanation."
The skeletons all paused in unison, and disappointment flashed across Quan An and the other man's eyes.
Mingyue looked at Lu Wan with some surprise. She didn't expect her to say that.
In fact, Mingyue knew that they were misleading the skeletons, but so what? It was not like she didn't have a mouth. She was ready to pretend to set off the hellfire to give herself a chance to explain.
But now, it seems that it doesn’t have to be so troublesome.
"I believe you all know that when I entered the main room to perform the substitution ritual, I actually saw you," Mingyue pointed at Lu Wan and continued, "According to my memory, I had guessed at that time why every time I performed the substitution ritual, there would always be monks and Taoists following. At the beginning..."
At the beginning, Mingyue thought that they came to have a deterrent effect to prevent these skeletons from rebelling and causing chaos.
Until later, she noticed many times the looks in the eyes of those masters. Facing the women who were about to be reincarnated, the masters' eyes were filled with pity and greed, as if they were not going to enter reincarnation, but stepping into another abyss, an abyss that they controlled.
Perhaps these skeletons are too confused, or they prefer that it is a way to be liberated, so they have never imagined that human beings can be so evil.
But Mingyue is a bystander and sees things more clearly. Besides, she has seen too much of the dark side of human nature, so it is easier for her to think of things in a negative way.
So after her initial guess, she paid more attention to those powerful people, and then she indeed discovered many strange things, which made her more certain of her guess.
Things were exactly as she expected. The Jiang family ancestors and those powerful people took advantage of the women's desire to be free, deceived them with the so-called reincarnation, and made them go from one cage to another. Not only did they completely lose themselves, but they also gained the power of others.
"Since the powerful dared to use them as magic weapons, they must have eliminated their consciousness long ago. They are no longer the same as they used to be. What remains is just their strength."
At this point, Mingyue's eyes flickered as she looked at the skeletons around her. Her sight swept over the almost identical skulls one after another, and she suddenly sighed and said:
"And compared to living without a sense of self in the hands of the enemy, perhaps for them, now they have finally found true liberation!"
The skeletons, who were originally restless, were now in a state of confusion.
On the one hand, they knew that what Mingyue said was true, but on the other hand, they could not accept the failure of their century-long expectations.
Quan An stared at them with two yellow eyes, snorted unwillingly, and said instigatively: "Daoyou are really good at talking. You can even say that a living person is dead. Are you looking for excuses for your cruelty? Do you think that you can convince the sisters with just your one-sided words?"
In order to survive, he actually called these skeleton sisters. He really has no shame.
Mingyue twitched her lips and was about to make a sarcastic remark, but...
