The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot-Chapter 214 - Blood Covenant
Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Blood Covenant
Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Blood Covenant
As the rope tightened around her neck, the female ghost felt an increasingly severe suffocation. This kind of suffocation gave her the sensation of experiencing death once again. She even felt that although she was already a ghost, she could still die again from suffocation.
Lady Zhong looked at the female ghost, her expression unchanged.
She was well aware of the torture the female ghost was subjected to. However, she was not worried that the female ghost would die from suffocation. The feeling of suffocation was indeed real, but it would not cause the ghost to die again.
Ignoring the female ghost, Lady Zhong turned her head and looked at Zhou Shaohua and the others with a solemn expression, “You must have left something out. Speak up now.”
“I really have told everything that happened!” Zhou Shaohua was so anxious he was nearly crying, “Lady Zhong, really, I’ve told you every single detail.”
“You must have overlooked some detail,” Lady Zhong said confidently, “Otherwise, the situation wouldn’t be so tricky right now.”
Upon hearing Lady Zhong’s words, Zhou Shaohua and the others immediately began to recall the events of that day.
The other three also recounted the incident once again; their accounts were almost identical to Zhou Shaohua’s.
It was only when Wu Jiguang was halfway through speaking that Lady Zhong immediately interrupted, “Are you saying, after you let go of the pen, you felt your finger get pricked, is that right?”
Everyone’s gaze converged on Wu Guangji, making him feel the pressure, but he still nodded, “Yes, but it was just a minor wound, maybe something pricked it! The next day, it was gone.”
For this reason, he did not care about it and had never mentioned it to the others.
“Blood Covenant,” Lady Zhong frowned so tightly she could have squashed a mosquito, “It seems things really are a bit troublesome now.”
Hearing Lady Zhong’s words, the faces of Zhou Shaohua and the others instantly changed. Although they did not know what this Blood Covenant she referred to was, the look on Lady Zhong’s face told them this issue would not be easy to resolve.
“Master, what’s going to happen to us?” Ling Chao was anxious, but then he seemed to think of something and quickly asked, “Since only Guangji was pricked, does that mean the rest of us will be okay?”
His words drew the gaze of Zhou Shaohua and Chu Xu. Although nothing was said, it was clear they were displeased with Ling Chao at this moment. Everything had come to this point, and instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, Ling Chao was looking to distance himself from it. It inevitably left them feeling disheartened.
And with this incident, they saw their seemingly good brother in a new light.
“It’s useless,” Lady Zhong shook her head, then spoke bluntly, “You invited the pen spirit together. That means, at that time, the four of you were one. So, regardless of whose blood was shed, the Blood Covenant is now binding all four of you.”
Ling Chao turned as pale as death.
Lady Zhong paid no more attention to the four men. She turned to look at the female ghost, her expression turning sharp, “You are quite despicable, to sign a Blood Covenant with them without their knowledge.”
“Hehe, but the Blood Covenant is already established now.” The female ghost felt the pressure on her neck lessen a bit and took a breath of relief, but then she heard Lady Zhong’s words and immediately burst into maniacal laughter, “If I’m extinguished, they won’t be able to live either.”
“Even if you don’t disappear in smoke and ash, they still won’t survive!” Lady Zhong laughed coldly, “In that case, why should I keep you around? I might as well just extinguish you now.”
“No, you can’t do that.”
Seeing that Lady Zhong was not joking, the female ghost felt a surge of fear, “If they really die, it won’t be good for you, will it? Their deaths will be on your conscience.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Lady Zhong’s face showed indifference, “You are the one who will have killed them! Being an ordinary ghost catcher with some limitations is perfectly normal.”
Zhou Shaohua’s group and their parents all grew anxious.
However, seeing Lady Zhong’s indifferent eyes, no one dared to speak, fearing they might truly offend her.
Seeing Lady Zhong’s indifferent demeanor, the female ghost grew desperate. She struggled violently against her restraints, trying to leave this place.
She had been a ghost for many years and had no desire to be reduced to smoke and ash.
She knew all too well – having killed so many people over the years, even if she were to be reincarnated, she could no longer be reborn as a human. Moreover, she did not know how much punishment she would face in hell. Instead, she continued to cultivate her ghost energy to become even more powerful.
Over the years, she killed a number of people, which in turn increased her ghost energy.
Now, with much of her ghost energy dissipated and facing the prospect of annihilation, she was absolutely unwilling.
“Trying to escape? It won’t be that easy.”
Lady Zhong gave a cold laugh and pulled out a piece of talisman paper, throwing it directly at the female ghost.
As soon as the talisman paper stuck to the female ghost, a dark cloud appeared out of thin air above her head. The cloud was filled with flashing lightning; it looked terrifying.
Soon after, bolts of lightning struck the female ghost.
We all know that lightning is the bane of all sinister beings. Quickly, the female ghost let out a series of piercing screams.
Everyone present got goosebumps upon hearing such shrill sounds.
The lightning came fast and went fast; in just a moment, all was calm again.

Only then did people realize that the place where the lightning had struck showed no trace, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.
However, when they saw the female ghost’s figure beginning to fade, they were sure that everything had been real.
“Spare me,” the female ghost’s voice carried a hint of weakness, “If you spare me, I will release the Blood Covenant with them. And, I promise I will not trouble them any longer.”
At this moment, the female ghost looked as though she could vanish at any moment, no longer possessing her former arrogance, looking like a defeated rooster.
“I can spare you,” Lady Zhong nodded her head, “But first you must release the Blood Covenant. Otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss.”
This Blood Covenant needed to be resolved quickly, otherwise Zhou Shaohua and the others were indeed in constant danger.
