o’s Yin-Yang eyes could see through nine realms, there were no records of them mutating. The only difference between him and Judge Bao was that Xiao Yu had a physical body while Judge Bao did not.Xiao...Chapter 156: Nine Sons Ghost Mother

Miao Yu, who was in the process of picking herbs, froze. Embarrassment He could indeed sense a hint of embarrassment from the woman's coarse and harsh voice that sounded like bones hitting each other.

‘So it is true!’ Miao Yu thought to himself.

"You were born in mid-July, right" Miao Yu asked her as if they were chatting casually.

"How do you know Do I know you" The woman's eyes flashed with fear. She took several steps back, shocked, and questioned him.

Miao Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "I deduced it from your pulse pattern. Your body type is yin-type; people with this body type usually are born in July."

In fact, Miao Yu wasn't entirely truthful. From her pulse pattern and the thread of pure yin energy in her body, he knew she was an extremely yin-type person—someone who should have been born at midnight on the fourteenth day of the seventh lunar month.

Such a constitution is considered the ideal cauldron for practicing certain dark arts secrets.

Wait. Cauldron Upon this thought, Miao Yu's expression suddenly turned horrified—it was the most shocking and unbelievable moment since he received Zhong Kui's legacy.

"When was your last abortion" Miao Yu put down half-picked herbs and asked anxiously.

The woman stared at Miao Yu for a while, not seeing any ill intentions in his eyes. After some hesitation, she said, "Two months................"

Before the woman could finish her sentence, as if struck by a memory, she stood there blankly. A moment later, she cried out, "Ah......... It was after this abortion that my body turned like this."

Miao Yu had just used his Yin-Yang Eyes to examine the woman. She was now exuding death energy, and he had assumed it was due to minor ghosts and hadn't thought much of it. Hearing her words, however, he hurriedly activated his Yin-Yang Eyes again, staring at the woman before him.

This woman suddenly felt that Xiao Yu's gaze had changed, becoming cold and indifferent with no trace of life left in it, as if he was a completely different person from before. Instinctively, the woman took another few steps back, watching Xiao Yu warily.

Xiao Yu used his Yin-Yang eyes to search through the pervasive aura of death surrounding the woman's body. Suddenly, he fixated his gaze on her abdomen and narrowed his eyes in shock.

Amongst the swirling aura of death emanating from the woman’s body were two clusters of death energy that originated from her; without a keen eye, these could easily be overlooked.

Xiao Yu focused intently upon these two clusters of death energy and sure enough, they took on the shapes of two fetuses. A tube-like umbilical cord connected each cluster to her body, through which pure yin energy and flesh essence were supplied to sustain them.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. It was no wonder that the woman had deteriorated so rapidly in just two months; besides the seven little devils siphoning off her life force and flesh essence, now there were nine altogether doing so.

Nine was the ultimate number. If the amount of flesh essence consumed by the previous seven little devils was considered 'one', then when nine worked together it would not be just 'a few more' but possibly ten or even a hundred times that much.

With nine little devils siphoning off her simultaneously, the rate at which she deteriorated was tens of times faster than before. That's why over the first two years, apart from feeling exhausted, she didn't notice anything else, but in just these past two months, she had reached this state.

There wasn’t much flesh essence left in her body anymore; there was only a faint strand of pure yin energy remaining that hadn't yet been drained by the little devils. When they completely sucked out everything from her, it would be the woman's time to die.

If she died full of resentment and thus transformed into a resentful ghost, then something legendary might form.

The Nine-Child Ghost Mother—a kind of ghost that existed deep in Zhong Kui’s memories. As soon as such ghosts were born, they possessed the strength of a Ghost King, but due to the very strict conditions for their formation, even Zhong Kui had only seen one once.

Back then, when Zhong Kui was full of spirit and met this Nine-Child Ghost Mother, each of her nine children were Ghost Kings themselves. As for the mother’s strength, it was unfathomable. Since 'nine' represented the ultimate number, the nine yin ghost formation that these nine ghosts formed was incredibly formidable.

Back then, even with his peak abilities, Zhong Kui had to exert himself fully and use every means at his disposal to cut down these evil spirits under his sword.

The only one who could control such a creature was the father of those nine little devils. Anyone else trying to control them would be counterattacked by them; moreover, this kind of ghost grew extremely fast. As soon as the nine little devils reached adulthood, they naturally became Ghost Kings.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu looked at the woman before him with a solemn expression and said, "I hope you tell me the truth. Only then can I save you; otherwise, I would be powerless!"

Xiao Yu wouldn't believe that all of this was merely coincidental. If someone had one or two abortions in three years, he might still believe it, but nine abortions in just three years were highly unlikely. It seemed almost as if she got pregnant right after each abortion.

Such a cycle repeated over the course of three years would be impossible for an ordinary person to endure! Clearly, this woman was not abnormal, and judging by the purity of the yin qi on these children's bodies, it wouldn't even matter if she had been extremely yin. These children should have been conceived and aborted at inauspicious times.

If one incident could be written off as a coincidence, but nine incidents all following this pattern—it was almost impossible! The probability of such an occurrence was smaller than winning the lottery.

Recalling her fear-filled eyes and how she seemed to avoid something, Xiao Yu felt certain that there must be some reason behind it.

Hearing what Xiao Yu had said, the woman lowered her head in silence. She could sense that Xiao Yu was different from those people, but if she told him about this matter, it would put her at risk, especially considering their significant influence. Thinking of them made her involuntarily shiver.

"Doctor, there are some things better left unsaid; otherwise, they might harm you!" the woman said in a hoarse and icy tone, devoid of any emotion.

"Haha! Harm me They would need to have the ability for that!" Xiao Yu laughed arrogantly upon hearing her words. His speech was filled with an overwhelming confidence, and he released a hint of righteous energy to bolster his claims.

Seeing Xiao Yu standing beside the medicine cabinet, exuding such self-assurance, it made the woman feel compelled to reveal everything. She had been suffering in silence for so long that she felt like she was going mad; her life had become unbearable. Especially after her body changed, living neither as a human nor as a ghost became even more miserable. She wished desperately to confide in someone before her death so that their crimes might be exposed.

But thinking of their power made her feel helpless. Even if she revealed the truth, what would it change Upon this thought, she sighed heavily.

Sensing her own body, she knew she didn't have much time left. This she could tell. Then she recalled the seven children who appeared in her dreams; a vague feeling told her that these were likely the aborted fetuses.

"Creak... creak... creak..." The more she thought about those children playing with her in her dreams, the more hatred and gritted teeth filled her heart.

Thinking of her limited time left, she decided to tell Xiao Yu everything she had experienced. She didn't expect him to expose them, but hoped that these matters wouldn’t be buried with her death.

When Xiao Yu heard the woman wanted to tell him what happened, he walked out from behind the counter and sat down at the consultation table; the woman followed suit and sat next to it. Even after standing for a short while, she felt exhausted.

The woman leaned back in her chair with her eyes fixed on the ceiling as her thoughts drifted back three years ago.

As the woman continued her story, Xiao Yu's expression grew increasingly serious and then angry. Finally, it was filled with an overpowering murderous intent. He touched the dagger he always carried with him and a sinister look appeared on his face.

It turned out that this woman had come to work in the deep sea from her hometown three years ago. At nineteen, she was at the prime of her youth when she came to the deep sea to join her fellow townsfolk. Through her introduction by him, she started working as a server at Ten Thousand Fragrance Tower, only to find it marked the beginning of her nightmare.

When filling out the registration form, she wrote down her lunar birthday on July 14th; after settling in, she was told that the boss admired her greatly and wanted to promote her as a supervisor. She was then asked to attend a training session at night. Little did she know, this marked the moment she fell into hell.

That very evening, she went through a small door in the courtyard's corner to arrive at a single-story detached villa where four or five girls were already waiting for her inside. Initially worried due to her age and knowledge of such matters, she felt reassured after seeing that earlier arrivals didn’t seem scared.

Later on, a Taoist came to give them lessons; initially he appeared ethereal and saintly, but closer inspection revealed his eyes were sinister.

The so-called "lesson" was just looking at them for a moment. Two girls did not meet the criteria and were expelled, none of whom had ever been seen again since.

She along with three other girls remained behind, allegedly to undergo closed training. They were taken into an underground basement with a large hall surrounded by numerous rooms where they were each placed in different compartments.

The room was luxurious and fully equipped; however, she never expected the door would be locked from outside after her arrival, preventing any escape thereafter. Moreover, the Taoist frequently visited to abuse her and abort any pregnancies.

There had once been a fellow inmate who tried to escape but failed, and was publicly tortured in the hall by dozens of people before being thrown into a boiler to be eliminated.

Over these three years, girls would occasionally be abused in that hall and dragged away. Initially said to have seventeen or eighteen girls, eventually only she and another girl remained.sion was passed at the meeting.Even by the time the meeting dispersed, an official document had already been issued.
