Rules of the Strange: I Became a God in a Bizarre World Through Taoist Arts

The comments on the screen drew everyone's attention back to the ghost story.

Madam Pei was lifted into the air by a force, her limbs hanging limply at her sides.

Her hair was twisted together strand by strand, forming a long rope as thick as a finger, floating in the air, waiting to catch its prey.

Her fingernails suddenly grew wildly, protruding outwards segment by segment. With each segment that protruded, the color of the nail deepened, until it stopped at a black that could devour all light.

With just a slight movement of her hand, Madam Pei caused whatever her long nail touched to shatter.

Shen Xingzhuo skillfully dodged her attacks using his internal energy.

Seeing that they could not strangle her, thick blood began to drip from under Madam Pei's skirt.

As the pool of blood flowed, it gradually coalesced into a deep pool.

Suddenly, a whirlpool appeared in the pool, and countless blood-red worms, resembling earthworms, emerged from it.

These insects stood ramrod straight, like arrows released from a bow, waiting for the right moment to pierce Shen Xingzhuo's heart with a thousand arrows.

However, due to Shen Xingzhuo's fast pace, every time the insects were launched, they spontaneously crashed into the wall and died.

Soon, countless drops of blood appeared on the snow-white walls of the side hall of the ancestral hall.

It looked exactly like a sudden hemorrhage.

"ah!!!"

Madam Pei let out a shrill, mournful shriek.

Seeing that the time was right, Shen Xingzhuo's eyes narrowed and his hands began to form hand seals in front of his chest.

"receive!"

With her command.

A floral fragrance emerged from the room that had been filled with the stench of blood.

A golden gate slowly emerged from the pool of blood.

The door was opened wide, and two dark chains emerged, tightly hooking onto Madam Pei's long hair.

Shen Xingzhuo flew forward and placed his palm on Madam Pei's forehead.

Her voice carried a hint of intimidation.

"Mother, let go of the karmic consequences Pei Shiquan has inflicted on you!"

"He personally took your child from your womb, and he committed the heinous act of devouring your unborn child. All of this is his fault!"

"You are just an innocent victim! Don't let your judgment cloud your judgment and make another grave mistake!"

A long-lasting light appeared in Madam Pei's cloudy eyes this time.

Her lips were chapped and cracked, and her voice was hoarse from strain.

"But... I've ruined you because of this, and I've ruined your brother Pei Zhao..."

She seemed to be thinking of something, and her expression turned to one of deep regret and pain.

Madam Pei curled up in a ball, retching and trembling.

"I don't want to either! But if I don't agree, he'll harm my other children!"

"I can only destroy you, destroy Zhao'er..."

"ah!!!"

Madam Pei became increasingly distressed as she spoke.

Shen Xingzhuo looked at her, silently placed her hand on her heart, and felt a similar pain.

Finally, she sighed.

"But you never harmed my brother and me..."

Despite being one mentally challenged and the other blind, they still managed to live a comfortable life in the Pei household, without worrying about food or clothing.

This is certainly not the treatment that the legitimate daughters and sons of the Pei family should receive, but if they die, the Pei family's lineage will be completely severed.

Ultimately, Madam Pei was wrong.

But the root of the problem wasn't with her, but with that heartless and deranged man.

"Yin'er, have you forgiven me?"

Madam Pei looked at Shen Xingzhuo hopefully.

But seeing her hesitant expression, he gave a bitter laugh, as if resigned to his fate and stopped resisting.

"Never mind... My mistake will be judged more severely in the afterlife."

The dark red aura emanating from her body was drawn into the large door like a wisp of smoke.

Madam Pei looked at Pei Yin seriously and said, word by word:

"Now, I'll help you!"
