Chapter 257

Karma (1)

Hearing this, the color completely drained from the Silent Master’s face. He began to struggle with all his might!

Meanwhile, a sharp cry came from the surrounding mountains! Hearing this, Zhao Yiqin naturally became elated, “Perfect! Looks like Ye Mu, that doomed girl, is on a killing spree!”

… But Ye Mu wasn’t killing anyone. Although she was drenched in blood, the blood was her own. She ran into a young lady who was burning incense for her family. The moment the lady saw Ye Mu’s frightening appearance, the woman shrieked, her spirit leaving her body.

Ye Mu’s appearance at this time was truly terrifying. When she realized something was wrong, it was already too late. She felt feverish and unlike herself. She sensed that the evil energy within her body could no longer be suppressed!

Before her murderous intent could surge, she tapped heavily on some of her vital points, causing herself to vomit blood!

The sharp pain caused her to retain her rationality a little longer. She wanted to find the Silent Monk. However, due to her current appearance, wherever she walked, people who saw her would panic and flee fearfully. Ye Mu’s originally pure face suddenly had black blood vessels appearing, her eyes turning blood-shot, as she was drenched in her own blood. She looked like a malicious evil spirit that crawled out of hell!

“Quickly, come take a look! Something has happened to Miss Ye!”

The imperial guards stationed around the mountain heard and rushed towards where Ye Mu was. Ye Mu was the sovereign’s most significant beloved. The guards couldn’t let her be in danger.

A scream could be heard. Ye Mu stood and started stepping on the floor tile. Her feet, leaking internal forces, caused deep cracks and footprints to litter everywhere on the stone slabs with every step she took.

“Wh-what sort of creature are you?!”

The first ones to arrive were the martial artist monks, who proceeded to surround Ye Mu. Seeing her internal force leaking out of her essence, every single one of them had petrified expressions! Some of the guests hid themselves, while even more already fled as soon as they saw the bloody creature.

When Ye Mu saw someone in her line of sight, she would approach, trying to request aid. To her dismay, once she went near, they would all involuntarily back away.

“Si-Silent…” Ye Mu reached out to them, wanting to tell them to call the Silent Monk. Where did he go? Why hasn’t he appeared yet?

“Quick! We must stop her! She wants to hurt our Master!”

The monks who heard got over their initial fear and summoned their courage to tightly encircle Ye Mu. Combining forces, they all brandished their sticks to strike. Just as Ye Mu raised her head, she saw every single stick aimed towards her combine together, locking down around her neck!

“L-Let me go…”

~~~~~~~~~

In the dark room, the Silent Master seemed to have calmed down. He turned towards Zhao Yiqin and spoke, “Right now, only I am able to control her. You have to let me go!”

As Zhao Yiqin listened to the cries outside, she smiled coldly. “You hear the misery outside? She’s most likely already murdered many. Didn’t we hear the imperial guards heading over there? If you went, and you couldn’t control her, wouldn’t you just be needlessly killed by her?

“Besides…” Zhao Yiqin met his eyes, “I already sent news of Ye Mu’s madness to Mo Linyuan. He’s on his way now. If Ye Mu goes crazy and kills him, that would be the happiest occurrence!”

The Silent Master closed his eyes, his voice turning extremely frigid,

“Let me go. I can’t watch Tian Shou Temple become destroyed. If you don’t agree to it…”

He raised his hand, “If you don’t agree to it, I’ll kill myself! Even if your people are stronger, they aren’t fast enough to stop me from commiting suicide!”
