Chapter 1197 Exposing Him to His Face
The moment Kurosawa Pei was locked onto by the Soul-Gathering Mirror, he sensed something was wrong. He was about to shout at it, but what came out of his mouth was a howl, because along with the Soul-Gathering Mirror, a ball of purple strange fire had locked onto him. The strange fire had already entered his body and started burning him, making him so painful that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

The two maids of Hei Zepei were quite frightened and wanted to save their young master, but they couldn't get close to the Soul-Gathering Mirror at all. They looked at each other, one of them attacked Yun Xi directly, and the other waved her sleeve to release a distress signal.

Yunxi sat steadily on the jade stool. Difei, who was standing next to her, looked weak and frail, but she was not really weak. With a casual wave of her hand, she sent the rushing maid flying, her face full of disdain.

But she still turned to look at Yunxi and said:
"Ranxi, even if you're just trying to help me get revenge, don't kill Hei Zepei, or it'll cause some trouble."

Yunxi smiled slightly at Difei and said:

"Don't worry, this time I will not only avenge you, but the Kurosawa family will also thank you and me. I will make sure you have both face and substance. You just need to stand on my side and watch the show."

Seeing Yunxi's confident tone, Difei blinked and felt relieved. Others might not know Yunxi's abilities, but she knew them very well. She would just sit back and wait to see the Kurosawa family make a fool of themselves.

During the brief exchange between the two, the maid who had been slapped away got up. This time she had learned her lesson and dared not attack Di Fei and Yun Xi again. Instead, she joined forces with another maid to attack the Soul-Gathering Mirror, hoping to rescue her young master first.

Because they discovered that their young master's body was fading, and once his soul was scattered, the two of them would only face death as well. They had to hold on until the family's rescue team arrived.

The Kurosawa family's men arrived quickly, and the one who came was Kurosawa Pei's older brother, Kurosawa Ting. He was accompanied by two women and a man, who were obviously his companions. They probably came along after seeing the Kurosawa family's distress signal.

Hei Zeting's appearance is about 50% similar to Hei Zepei's. The two are about the same height and build, but Hei Zeting looks more mature and composed. After appearing at the City Lord's mansion, he immediately noticed that Hei Zepei was in a bad situation, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he turned his attention to Di Fei, whom he was more familiar with.

Hei Zeting cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Di Fei and said calmly:

"Difei, did Xiaopei do something to offend you? Please let him off the hook for my sake. I'll teach him a lesson when we get back."

The moment Di Fei saw Hei Zeting appear, her expression immediately changed, becoming one of sadness and despair, as if she were about to cry. After hearing his words, she immediately stood up and returned the greeting, saying with a hint of resentment:
“Brother Heize, this is not something we are being unreasonable about. Immortal Lord Ranxi and I are only staying here for one night. Not only did he bring his men to knock on our door, but he also asked us to give up our courtyard. It's not that I was unwilling to accommodate him; even for your sake, I would have tolerated him. But unexpectedly, he was so rude to Immortal Lord Ranxi.”

At this point, he looked embarrassed and simply said "Uh," indicating that he couldn't bring himself to say it, before continuing:
"Immortal Lord Ranxi and I are good friends. I only intervened because he was so rude. However, after I intervened, I found that Xiao Pei seemed to be acting strangely."

As for what the problem was, she didn't know, so she handed the responsibility to Ranxi.

Hei Zeting looked at the charming fairy who sat calmly and nonchalantly, never expecting that she was the famous Immortal Lord Ranxi who had recently become famous throughout the five regions. His eyes flickered, and he felt a little dissatisfied with his younger brother. He had gone up to provoke her before even figuring out her identity, which was extremely foolish.

Now he's being forced to grovel and beg for help. This score will be settled when we get back to the family. This time, we'll teach them a lesson they won't forget. So he cupped his hands and said:
"Hei Zeting greets Immortal Lord Ranxi. It was my younger brother who was rude. I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against a junior."

Yunxi glanced at Hei Zeting, feeling the time was about right, and then slowly spoke:

"King Kurosawa, you probably don't know me. I could crush a rude little thing with a flick of my finger. It's just that I'm going to take this extra step because the number one family in the Ghost Realm, the Kurosawa family, is involved. It's also out of respect for King Difei that I'm giving your Kurosawa family a chance to make amends."

These words made Hei Ze Ting clench his fist. He knew that Hei Ze Pei had really kicked a hornet's nest this time. He could only suppress his frustration and wanted to say a few conciliatory words to get Hei Ze Pei out first. However, before he could speak, Yun Xi beat him to it. "King Hei Ze, take a good look. Is that still your brother?"

Yunxi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it drew everyone's attention to Hei Zepei, who was trapped by the Soul-Gathering Mirror. The Youming City Lord, who arrived shortly after, also frowned as he looked at the wailing Hei Zepei, and his expression changed instantly.

Because a black beetle the size of an egg was trying to break free from the shackles of Hei Zepei's soul, trying to avoid being burned to ashes, and as the black beetle gradually left his body, Hei Zepei's figure also became transparent, and his cultivation level dropped rapidly, falling back to the Earth Ghost Realm in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that he would revert to his wandering soul state after the black beetle detached from his body, Hei Zeting's expression changed and he said:

"Immortal Lord Ranxi, please spare my life."

Yunxi had planned to force the black beetle out in front of these people, so after hearing Hei Zeting's words, she pulled the black beetle, which was trying to absorb soul power to resist, out of Hei Zepei's body and held the beetle firmly in her hand.

The moment the black beetle left his body, Kurosawa Pei's soul ceased to be ethereal, but he still fell straight to the ground, staring blankly at the Soul-Gathering Mirror above his head.

Yunxi held the black beetle and examined it for a while before taking out a porcelain bottle, stuffing the beetle inside, sealing it with divine runes, and tossing it directly to Difei, saying:
"Please give this to the Demon Emperor, as he likely has other uses for it."

Di Fei's eyes were already squinting with laughter; she felt incredibly relieved. She immediately replied:
"Rest assured, I will personally deliver it to Lord Ghost Emperor."

After saying that, he disappeared from the courtyard.

Yunxi glanced at Hei Zeting, whose face was beyond ugly, and casually flicked out two pale blue flames, instantly freezing both of Hei Zepei's maids.

Only then did he sit back down on the stone bench and speak slowly and deliberately:
"Kurosawa Oni-kun, the black beetle inside your brother's body doesn't look like it just possessed him. It's grown so fat; I wonder how many ghost cultivators' souls it has absorbed."

Just as Hei Zeting was about to speak in his defense, Yun Xi continued:

"I've heard that Kurosawa Pei is a womanizer, and the female cultivators he sets his sights on all become his subjects. If he were controlled by the insect race and used the opportunity of dual cultivation to spread the larvae of the black beetle, how many ghost cultivators do you think would fall victim to him?"

These words made Kurosawa Ting swallow the words he was about to say, because this situation was foreseeable.

Kurosawa Pei, who had just come to his senses, rolled over but couldn't get up, so he could only ask Kurosawa Ting for help:

"Brother, save me!"
