Chapter 860: Cause and Effect

The Taoist master was severely injured and was extremely vexed.

The puppet had been placed in that tomb to be raised. It was initially of great use, but now… it had been destroyed for nothing.

But…

Just what kind of background did this person have? She actually had such great ability!

His wooden dharma instrument had been nourished by evil energy for so many years. Its ability was extraordinary. Even foolish idiotic Taoist masters from the Yuxu Temple might not be able to destroy it so thoroughly!

The Taoist master’s expression was gloomy. He adjusted his breathing. After a while, he found a little boy and sent a messenger pigeon over.

At this moment, Xie Qiao came to a realization.

Looking at this ghoul that was courting death, she said expressionlessly, “What is the name of your descendant? Where does he live?”

At this point, the ghoul cried.

“Master… M-My great-grandson is really pitiful. His parents died a long time ago. He grew up in his uncle’s house and always had to depend on someone else. He didn’t dare to eat too much food and didn’t dare to do too little work… He doesn’t know anything. I was the one who asked him to bring me around. He’s innocent…”

The ugly ghoul cried. If Xie Qiao did not see his arrogant appearance just now, she would have thought that he was pitiful.

“You’re thinking too much. He didn’t commit a crime in the world of the living. Even if he were to raid the tomb, he would be stealing from his ancestor. There’s no reason to arrest him. I asked you to tell me the name of your descendant so that… I can see with my own eyes how miserable his life is because of you,” Xie Qiao said indifferently. She looked cold and heartless.

The ghoul was stunned for a moment. “What do you mean… it’s because of me? Master! What do you mean by that?!”

“As a ghoul, you should know that after death, if you do evil to the living, there will be retribution. Who would suffer the retribution? Your descendant is one of them.

“Moreover, when your descendant came to raid the tomb, he must’ve prayed to you first, right? Then the relationship will naturally be connected,” Xie Qiao added.

Xie Qiao was not sure how much karma there was, but she knew that the feng shui here was not good. Besides, a living person who carried an abnormal ghoul around all day would definitely affect his body.

She guessed that the descendant’s lifespan would not be too long.

The ghoul was stunned by Xie Qiao’s words.

He had never thought about this…

He actually knew that. When he had just died, he had heard other ghouls talk about the rules of being a ghoul, but…

When he thought about how he had been imprisoned for so long and how everyone had bullied him when he was alive, he wanted to take revenge. He had no time to care about anything else!

“I beg you to save me, Master!” The ghoul that was tied up kowtowed, looking quite pitiful.

However, Xie Qiao really could not save him.

She was not a god.

Moreover, he did that to himself. Not to mention that the descendant did not know, it was absolutely impossible that kid really did not know that at all!

No one would be so stupid to such an extent. If they were really stupid, they would not think of raiding a tomb!

In the end, even though he clearly knew that his ancestor was harming people, he still indulged him.

You reap what you sow.

However, after Xie Qiao said that, the ghoul in front of her dared not lie. He told his great-grandson’s identity obediently.

Only then did Xie Qiao nod and put him away.

His body was tainted with a lot of evil energy, and he encouraged his descendant to help harm others. In this kind of situation, Xie Qiao would not help him get rid of the evil spirit. When the day came, she would forcefully release his soul. When he went to hell, she would not be able to control what kind of price he would have to pay.

Most of the insects in the tomb had died.

The rest had also run away.

“Let’s go up,” Xie Qiao turned around and said to Xie Pinggang and Zhao Xuanjing..
