Three powerful ghosts were dispatched, and the numerical advantage that the Chi Hua Society had originally possessed was now completely gone.
Under Hei Chuan Lu's command, the zombies were merely ants to be cut and sliced.
The malevolent ghosts trembled under Tao Hua Ying's pomegranate skirt, having devolved into a buffet.
The paper figures were slightly better off, but they were being chased by Lian He instead!
The strength of a ghost king was considered nothing in the eyes of Yan Shouyi and the others, but to the followers of ordinary folk sects, it remained an insurmountable mountain.
It was important to remember that when Yan Shouyi first entered Rongcheng, his strength was already above average among the folk sects, yet he was still no match for the ghost king Bai Shi Xi.
The three ghosts charged out, causing the Chi Hua Society members to scatter in disarray, their armor in tatters, fleeing in terror and confusion.
It was only then that they realized that while Yan Shouyi was powerful, his wife was no pushover either. After all, she was the sect leader of the Lu Shan Sect, the head of a faction, how could her strength be weak?
Lin Zihong's mind was still filled with the image of Lu Jing before his death, so she did not suppress her raging anger and stand by idly. Instead, after Tao Hua Ying and the others charged out, she immediately rushed into the crowd!
Screams echoed continuously!
Gradually, the number of people lying on the ground surpassed the number of people standing.
The members of the Chi Hua Society were no match for Lin Zihong!
Even with over fifty of them, for Lin Zihong, it merely meant swinging her Red Divine Umbrella a few more times!
And from beginning to end, Yan Shouyi did not make a move. He sat on the utility pole, his gaze locked onto Wu Tianfeng.
"This woman is too strong; we are no match for her!"
"No wonder Yan Shouyi promised not to intervene earlier; it's because Lin Zihong herself is enough to deal with us!"
"Brothers... I'm retreating; I'm not fighting anymore!"
The members of the Chi Hua Society were not united. Seeing their numerical advantage vanish, they began to entertain thoughts of retreat.
When one person turned and fled, it triggered a chain reaction.
More and more people dropped their weapons, turned, and darted into the alleyways, scrambling away, fearing that Tao Hua Ying and the others would catch up.
Yan Shouyi, seeing this, slowly rose to his feet.
Lin Zihong had already taken down over twenty people; her anger should have subsided by now.
However, before he could even stand up, he saw Lin Zihong throw a command flag.
The command flag flew rapidly towards the back of the crowd, planting itself into the ground and the wall, forming a barrier.
No one could leave!
"You trespassed on my Rongcheng territory, colluded with demons, and caused the death of the former sect leader of my Lu Shan Sect, and you think you can just leave like this?!"
Lin Zihong shook her Red Divine Umbrella and said coldly, "When you do evil deeds, you must be prepared for punishment. Today, none of you will leave here intact!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was terrified, and they desperately tried to break through the barrier, but all their efforts were in vain!
Yan Shouyi, who had just been about to stand, quietly sat back down...
He had underestimated the place Lu Jing held in Lin Zihong's heart, and he had underestimated Lin Zihong's fury.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he had ever seen Lin Zihong so angry.
In her rage, Lin Zihong was not only decisive in battle but also deeply understood the principle of cutting off the roots to prevent future growth.
However, to avoid creating karma through killing, Lin Zihong had held back, only disabling the opponents' limbs or cultivation, never truly delivering a fatal blow.
"Sigh... Although the brat loves me dearly, I should probably anger her less in the future..."
Even Yan Shouyi felt a little intimidated.
The barrier sealed off the escape routes for the Chi Hua Society members, and Lin Zihong, like a Valkyrie, fought from one end of the street to the other.
By the time she reached the command flag, there was not a single standing member of the Chi Hua Society left in front of her.
Behind her, people lay strewn about haphazardly; even on some walls and treetops, one could spot members of the Chi Hua Society.
"Miss~"
Tao Hua Ying and the other two returned to report: "We have dealt with all the zombies, malevolent ghosts, and paper figures."
"All of them?" Lin Zihong asked.
Tao Hua Ying nodded: "Some people held back their moves and refused to yield, so we forced them out and then dealt with them."
Yan Shouyi, perched on the utility pole, felt his eyelids twitch wildly, thinking that Tao Hua Ying had actually been more ruthless than the "brat."
Indeed, women shouldn't congregate...
"You have worked hard."
Lin Zihong nodded slightly, didn't say much more to them, and waved them away, recalling them.
As Lin Zihong's ghost servants, Tao Hua Ying and the others could sense Lin Zihong's emotional changes, so they understood that the current Lin Zihong was very different from her usual self.
They didn't say much and silently returned to the bone chain soul-summoning bell.
Lin Zihong turned around and looked at the howling Chi Hua Society members lying on the ground, saying coldly:
"Among you, some are utterly wicked, but I haven't killed you today simply because I don't want to incur karma through killing. Otherwise, not a single person present today would be left alive!"
She paused and then added, "I'm sparing your wretched lives, hoping that you will mend your ways in the future. If any of you seek revenge or continue to do evil deeds, then come at me! Next time, you won't be so lucky!"
"The Lu Shan Sect and the Folk Study Association will personally send you to the afterlife!"
As Lin Zihong spoke, she struck the ground heavily with her Red Divine Umbrella.
The earth seemed to tremble, frightening the Chi Hua Society members into trying to scramble up and flee, even while enduring their injuries.
This time, Lin Zihong did not stop them. She directly removed the barrier and watched these incompetent curs flee into the alleyways like rats in the street, then vanish without a trace.
If her little fans from the Luotian Grand Ceremony were here, they would surely be acting like starry-eyed admirers, gushing over Lin Zihong: "Sister is so fierce!"
Lin Zihong was precisely such a woman. By Yan Shouyi's side, she could play the role of a little woman who needed care, but when she faced situations alone, she was a capable and strong woman.
People often overlooked her inherent excellence and power due to Lin Zihong's love and dependence on Yan Shouyi.
This time, the members of the Chi Hua Society had truly learned their lesson.
From now on, they would never come to Rongcheng, nor would they provoke Yan Shouyi!
Not only because of Yan Shouyi's power, but also because this fellow had an extremely powerful wife!
"Finally done."
Yan Shouyi, who had been sitting on the utility pole, slowly got up, preparing to go down and help Lin Zihong deal with Wu Tianfeng.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zihong directly pointed her Red Divine Umbrella at Yan Shouyi and shouted, "Sit there and don't move!"
Yan Shouyi "splashed" and sat back down.
He hurriedly shouted, "Brat, don't get carried away with rage; it's me!"
Lin Zihong rolled her eyes at him and said exasperatedly, "I know, but it's not over yet; you are not allowed to act."
Immediately afterward, she looked towards Wu Tianfeng, who was standing in the corner.
The Chi Hua Society had only one person destined to die, and that was Wu Tianfeng! If Wu Tianfeng was not killed, Lin Zihong's heart would not be at peace!
