Grudge Breaker

Chapter 228: The Ghost King (Part )
-
"Weiwei, I didn't want you to know this, but now that things have come to this..."

Mo Tingfeng finally spoke, his voice was low and his emotion was very different from usual.

Song Weichen smiled awkwardly, his mind full of only one thought: Why didn't he use the spell of forgetting words on her like he did to those two people?
Even though he likes her and looks at her differently - but I reflect on myself three times a day, am I knowing too much?

……

I remember there was a saying that goes like this: Only the dead can keep secrets.

I have the impression that TV dramas usually play out like this: once a big boss's unknown secret is discovered by his lover, he will completely throw off his disguise and end all ties with his lover - even though the previous love was not fake, in the face of an absolute secret, love is simply vulnerable.

Besides, to him, she was more like a troublemaker, and the help she provided was far less than the trouble she caused.

It’s not that Song Weichen doesn’t believe him, but she doesn’t believe herself and doesn’t believe that love can make her be treated so specially.

After all, where she comes from, love is fragile and easily deteriorates, and insecurity is already engraved in the DNA.

Song Weichen stood up and stepped back towards the door.

"Boss Mo, you know I have a terrible memory. No matter how big the event is, I forget it the moment I put my hands down!"

"Look, I was obviously practicing, so why did I end up in your study room for no apparent reason? That's so weird, hahahaha... I'm leaving!"

He ran to the door before he finished speaking. His poor acting and excuses left Mo Tingfeng stunned.

Then I quickly realized that this little girl must have over-imagined again! !

Song Weichen had just taken two steps and before he could step out of the door, he crashed into a solid chest.

Mo Tingfeng used teleportation magic to block her way.

Seeing her expression like a little rabbit being stopped by a wolf, he felt both angry and amused.

"What are you so nervous about?"

Without waiting for Song Weichen to answer, he looked outside the door, cast a spell to close the study door, and added a barrier so that any information in the study could not be heard by "walls have ears".

Only then did he look at Song Weichen again.

"You heartless little thing, who do you take me for?"

“Hey, I…”

Song Weichen was extremely embarrassed when his inner drama was exposed, and he had to make jokes to get away with it.

"Who do you think you are? Of course I think of you as my Yida, my Youlemei! Gie gie, you are my glory, my city and fortress!"

……

Mo Tingfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed in his heart.

She knew it all but didn't say it out loud. Never mind. Ultimately, it was all his fault for not doing well enough to make her feel completely secure.

"Weiwei, I just want to have a good chat with you and tell you everything exactly as it happened."

He pulled her to sit at the tea table by the window and poured her a cup of warm tea.

"You know the great demon that Meng Mengda mentioned."

"I know?"

Song Weichen was shocked. The massacre by the great demon happened hundreds of years ago. She had only been in the Mei Realm for a short time. How could she know him? Did he mean that Sang Pu knew him?

"and many more……"

Song Weichen had a bad feeling and she suddenly thought of someone.

Given that person's temper, if he really goes crazy, he might actually do those evil things that Mengmengda mentioned...

"The great demon you are talking about...could it be Cang Yue?"
.
Mo Tingfeng shook his head.

In fact, when he saw Meng Mengda's eyes turn black and his teeth become sharp as thorns, he had already guessed about 70% of the person the brocade bag was pointing to - the material of the brocade was not ordinary, and he should have recognized it earlier.

Meng Mengda’s subsequent description further confirmed his guess.

In fact, the red-eye warning directed at Mo Tingfeng this time not only affected Song Weichen, but also another person—a brother whom Mo Tingfeng also cared about.

"That great demon is Zhuang Yuheng."

……

"What did you say!"

Song Weichen stood up and his clothes rubbed the teacup, spilling tea all over the table. Mo Tingfeng silently took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on the table.

"How is it possible?! Brother Yuheng is a god from the immortal family, a modest gentleman, and everyone's health nurse. There is no way he could be related to that bloodthirsty monster!"

She shook her head like a rattle.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Mr. Mo, put it this way, I would believe you if you said you were a demon!"

Mo Tingfeng was speechless for a moment. Although he could understand the little girl's affection and trust for Zhuang Yuheng, and her shock at this matter, there was no need to let him go!

Sometimes he was a blackened boss behind the scenes, and sometimes he was a killer. Couldn't his image in her heart be a little more noble and upright? !

I just sighed inwardly, that's all.

Although Song Weichen had known Zhuang Yuheng for some time, he was unaware that he had become possessed due to careless practice - to this day he would still turn into a demon on certain days.

The reason why Zhuang Yuheng became the famous "Medicine King" in the sleeping world was because he wanted to find a way to stop himself from becoming a monster and became a miracle doctor after suffering from illness for a long time.

"Yu Heng can become extremely dangerous on certain days."
.
Mo Tingfeng decided to tell everything——

Whenever the Earthly Branches of the Tiger occur in the year, month, or day of the Tiger, Zhuang Yuheng will lose his mind from the time the last ray of sunlight sets to the time the first ray of sunlight rises the next day. During this period, he will be bloodthirsty and murderous, like an evil ghost.

On this day, Mo Tingfeng would set up the strongest imprisonment barrier in a special place, the "Misty Forest", which was also the trial place for Class A warlocks. Looking at the entire world, only this barrier he set up could seal the big monster. Zhuang Yuheng would take the initiative to enter before the monster transformation began, and Mo Tingfeng would lead a hundred of the most elite resentment-breaking masters to guard the periphery to ensure that the tragedy that happened when he first transformed into a monster would not happen again.

The reason for choosing the Misty Swamp Forest is because of the special energy there. Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators below the Quasi-A level are unable to enter. In addition, there are many miasma and almost no living birds and beasts. By trapping Zhuang Yuheng in it, the killing can be minimized.

So even though there were a considerable number of resentment-breaking masters guarding the barrier, the miasma of the Swamp Forest filled the barrier and the big demon had never successfully broken through the confinement barrier. Therefore, since the massacre, no one had actually seen Zhuang Yuheng after he turned into a demon, including Mo Tingfeng himself.

Over the years, people have long forgotten the fact that Immortal Lord Sikong fell into evil, let alone remember what he looked like at that time.

……

"So today's scene really shocked me."

Mo Tingfeng glanced to the side, at the half-exposed mask and the brocade bundle on the table.

The appearance of a strange mask that looked the same as the one on the day Zhuang Yuheng turned into a demon was enough to make people shudder with fear, not to mention that the fragments of his clothes on the day he fell into evil had been deliberately preserved until now!
If Mo Tingfeng had previously only guessed that some forces had been secretly planning and plotting for a long time, then the appearance of this burden became the proof.

He held the teacup and watched the tea inside sway slightly.

If the disappearance of the previous white robe marked the beginning of a head-on confrontation, then the appearance of this mask and baggage was a sign of an escalation in the confrontation.

"Think positively. We must be getting close to the core of a conspiracy, or have partially destroyed their vested interests and plans, so they are eager to use this item."

"Think negatively. The other party has indeed achieved a restraining effect on me. Not only do they know my weaknesses, but they also know my concerns. They deliberately sent this burden to me just to trip me up and make me afraid to act rashly."

Mo Tingfeng tilted his head back and drank the entire glass of wine, with a hint of self-mockery.

"Come to think of it, this is truly a red-eye warning."
.
There was too much information, and it took Song Weichen some time to digest it. Only after she watched the green bamboo incense in the incense burner burn out did she sort out her thoughts and speak.

"Don't tell him about receiving the mask for now."

"Brother Yuheng is kind and benevolent. It goes without saying that his crime of transforming into a demon and killing people must be the biggest knot in his heart and the most difficult obstacle to overcome. If the past is brought up again, it will definitely hurt him deeply."

Song Weichen raised his head and looked at Mo Tingfeng, his eyes full of determination.

"Although I am only at the level of a small C-class fighter now, I promise to stop being lazy and practice hard from today on. Let's work together to find out the troublemaker behind the mask, and we will quietly help Brother Yuheng settle this matter!"

"I don't care who sends the red-eye warning. If he dares to send it, I will go crazy! It's not certain who is crazier!"

Song Weichen was so angry that his face turned red, but Mo Tingfeng's smile became more and more obvious. He just felt that she was attractive and made him sink into her.

There was a kind of reckless, pure and reckless childishness in her, which might not be mature or appropriate, but it made him feel extremely precious.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Let's keep this secret together and quietly help Yu Heng resolve the issue."

Song Weichen nodded vigorously. His expression at this moment looked like a poor student who had just vowed to become a top student and get admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University.

"Can I see that thing again?"

She pointed at the strange and terrifying mask, not knowing where she got the courage from.

Since Song Weichen didn't have the "cute" skill of being in a situation, she wouldn't feel physically uncomfortable picking up the photo and looking at it, so Mo Tingfeng let her do it.

Holding the mask through the brocade, Song Weichen took out the puppet. She wanted to see how the puppet would react when it encountered this strange creature. Maybe there might be clues there.

Unexpectedly, not only did the puppet control show no reaction, even when Song Weichen intended to summon the "Angry Birds" and "Attack of Ao Bing", they stayed inside the puppet control and avoided him.

Could it be that the energy behind this mask is too strong, and her "Little Bird" and "Ao Bing" are currently relatively weak, so they dare not come out?
hateful……

What is the origin of this mask, what secrets does it hold, who is the person behind it, and what does he want to do?
Song Weichen angrily wrapped the mask again and put it back on the table.

I really want to find a mask expert to consult!

Speaking of which, Gu Cangyue likes to wear a mask. He is an ancient god and has lived long enough, so he is naturally knowledgeable. It would be great if he were here, maybe he would be able to see the mystery.

and many more……

Mask expert?

Song Weichen suddenly thought of someone!
.
knock knock.

There was a knock on the door outside the study.

Mo Tingfeng and Song Weichen looked at each other, and with a wave of their hands, they dismantled the barrier.

"Come in."

The person who came was Guyu, holding a tray of exquisite snacks and an invitation.

"Sir, Brother Wei, the old butler of Wangyue Tower just came and said that he heard that you and the Venerable had successfully solved a major case and returned home. Boss Shu was very happy and specially invited the two of you to Wangyue Tower to celebrate your success."

"Also..." Guyu hesitated slightly and spoke again.

"The old housekeeper secretly asked the master, if Miss Sangpu is free, can she be allowed to go to the Moon Watching Tower occasionally? The guests who come to listen to the piano are almost getting old waiting."

Mo Tingfeng was startled when he heard this.

Shukeng Taki?
Ever since he asked the old butler to give the mask of Suzaku, the boss of the Ghost Market, to Zhuang Yuheng, this man has disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Ye Wujiu sent out four teams of underground resentment-breaking masters to search for many days but found nothing. They stopped the search only before everyone set out for the Ghost Market. How come he suddenly showed up on his own initiative?

Not right.

"Boss Shu is back?"

Guyu didn't know that Shu Tinglong had been "missing" and was a little confused by Mo Tingfeng's questions.

"Five days ago, I went to Water Street to buy something and ran into Mr. Shu, but he didn't see me. He went straight into the Moon Watching Tower with a few masks in his hand."

Song Weichen suddenly had an idea and he quickly exchanged a glance with Mo Tingfeng.

The person she just thought of was him!

She remembered the strange masks that covered the walls in Shu Taki's room!
