Eight Uncles' Beloved Treasure (Lily)

Chapter 629

Chapter 629

Lilly was curious about the whereabouts of the three other people.

Bone, the old woman immediately spoke up, “I can tell you where they are, but you must promise to let me go! Otherwise, they’ll die!”

Lilly was taken aback, surprised that a ghost would dare to negotiate terms with her.

The harem spirit chimed in, “Well, I must say, I admire your courage, old lady. You’re the first person who dares to threaten the Ruler of Hell!”

Upon hearing this, Flesh realized she was dealing with the King of Hades!

Although she sensed a formidable presence, she was not entirely sure as she never thought that the Ruler of Hell would be four or five years old.

However, the ghost lord beside Lilly said she was the Ruler of Hell.

Flesh promptly responded, “I know! They were frightened off by this old woman and she tied them up in a dry well on the other side of the village road beneath the runway!”

The old woman was taken aback.

Lilly asked seriously, “So you’re saying that you hung up Mr. Shaw and the others?”

The simultaneous takedown of so many individuals would need the strength of a ghost as powerful as a hundred-year-old spirit, comparable to that of a malignant spirit. It appeared that both the old woman and the human skin played a part in this.

However, Flesh denied the accusation, saying, “No, it wasn’t me. It was this old woman!”

The old woman shouted back, “You’re lying! You agreed to it!”

Flesh and Bone engaged in another fight.

“Bonk! Bonk!”

Once again, Lilly took the frying pan back and finally understood why her grandma liked to hit people with it.

It was surprisingly effective!

She smiled and asked, “Are you still going to argue?”

Flesh vigorously shook her head.

Lilly continued, “So, should you two settle your scores, or should I help you?”

The old woman hurriedly replied, “We’ll confess on our own, we’ll confess on our own…”

As it turned out, the old woman and Pretty Flesh had been at odds with each other for a century. One of them gradually faded away as an evil spirit, while the other starved to death.

A few days ago, a group of seven or eight strong men arrived in the village as Pretty Flesh’s eyes glowed green.

Pretty Flesh wanted to feast on human flesh, while the old woman desired to consume the souls of the deceased.

After a century-long feud, the two struck a deal. They could not escape from each other, but they chose to cooperate to avoid death.

To keep an eye on each other, Pretty Flesh and the old woman were bound together as if they intended to act in unison.

They waited for three days, and when the group of people became fully immersed in the village’s bad aura, they realized that they had come to find ghosts…

So they created eerie noises to attract the passers-by, and while they were terrified, they hung them up when their attention was diverted…

That was how Colton and the others ended up stuffed into the sauerkraut jar.

The remaining three managed to escape, but the old woman and Flesh ambushed them in the forest. They were knocked unconscious, tied up, and thrown into a dry well temporarily.

“And then we returned. I wanted to have a bite of human flesh… But this cunning old woman caught me off guard and stuffed me back into the jar!”

The old woman snorted, “This little brat has no shame when she sees a strong man. I had to force her into the jar!”

At this point, it was clear to everyone that there was no good to be found in either of them as they were up to no good.

Lilly pulled out the frying pan, causing Flesh and the old woman to panic. They pleaded, “What are you doing? We’ve already explained everything, why are you still hitting us?”

Lilly sneered, “I’m sorry, I grabbed the wrong weapon.”

Both Flesh and the old woman breathed a sigh of relief.

However, in the next moment, Lilly revealed a purple sledgehammer.

Before Flesh and the old woman could beg for mercy, they were pulverized into dust by the powerful blow of the purple sledgehammer.

The jar of souls let out a satisfied burp.

Lilly possessed both strength and ferocity.

Lilly was not simply easy to negotiate with. Some ghosts could be spared, but others could not.novelxo.com fast update

Considering the malicious and scheming actions of these two ghosts, Lilly would never let them go.

It was pitiful that the old woman had lost her son and suffered for thousands of years. But she encouraged other people’s daughters-in-law to hang themselves and used other people’s sons as bait to attract Pretty Flesh, knowing well that Pretty Flesh would devour those sons. All for the sake of revenge.

They did not deserve sympathy.

However, Pretty Flesh repeatedly harmed others, framing the old woman for her misdeeds several times, and even cooperating with the old woman to harm Mr. Shaw and the others.

This was inexcusable.

Josh exclaimed, “I think that these two deserve it as well. They are enemies and cannot coexist, yet they were still able to cooperate.”

Lilly nodded and said, “You’re right… Let’s go. We need to find the remaining three people.”

The group of people retraced their steps.

On their journey, they still encountered many lonely and sorrowful ghosts, but they were no longer as fearful as they were when they first arrived.

After all, Lilly was with them and they brought amulets.

Passing by the house of the hanged woman, Lilly noticed a woman hanging from the beam, her feet adorned with embroidered shoes. The chair beneath her feet was cold.

Curious, Lilly turned to Colton and asked, “Have you guys ever sat on that chair?”

Colton looked up and nodded, saying, “Yes.”

He had not seen any ghosts. He was able to see the Flesh and Bone earlier because they were ghosts. Real skin and bones could naturally be seen, but not ghosts!

Lilly admired Colton for his bravery.

Uncle Shaw is so amazing, he’s not afraid of anything.

Lilly asked, “Why did you sit on that chair?”

Colton’s typically cold demeanor softened slightly as he responded in his usual icy voice, “To sense the presence of ghosts.”

Blake had trained himself to concentrate in places with ghosts, honing his ability to detect subtle changes in temperature in the air. Where there were ghosts, the temperature would differ, with an indescribable coldness. This required self-awareness and continuous training until his perception became sharp.

Colton continued, “When we first arrived in this village, I did feel that it was colder than outside. But once we entered, I felt the same coldness everywhere.”

It was difficult to experience the indescribable temperature change that Blake had described.

“We walked around the village for three days and noticed that sitting on this chair allowed us to sense different changes.”

Upon sitting down, their hair would feel cold, and a chill would run down their backs. However, after a few seconds, this feeling would dull again.

They had to bask in the sun and then return to the chair again. Only then could they sense the difference the moment they sat down. But soon, the difference would fade away, and they could not feel it anymore. They had to repeat the process over and over again.

After hearing Colton’s words, everyone fell silent.

Lilly and Lisa were shocked.

Blake glanced at the female ghost hanging from the beam and gave a thumbs-up.

How brave!
