Urban Evil Suppression: Incorporating the Stone Hard Template

After calming down completely, Fang Zhenghe let out a long breath.

When he faced Chu Tianxiong and his old friends again, there was no longer a trace of guilt or evasion on his face.

Only a sincere expression and a touch of sorrow: "I admit I schemed against Old Chu."

I deliberately used the guise of a gathering to invite you all here.

But I swear on my conscience, I never intended to harm him or any of you.

At this point, he sighed deeply, his expression filled with bitterness and a sense of fatalistic helplessness.

He immediately turned to the side, moved a chair over, and sat down in front of Ling Feng's hospital bed.

He then gestured for Chu Tianxiong and the others to sit down, his behavior extremely unusual.

It was as if they were about to reveal all the secrets they had kept hidden in their hearts for many years.

Seeing his calm and solemn demeanor, Chu Tianxiong and the others were somewhat surprised and uncertain.

But they suppressed their anger and each found a chair to sit opposite him.

For a moment, the entire ward was silent, save for the monitoring equipment on the side.

It was still ringing there rhythmically, making the atmosphere exceptionally heavy.

After Fang Zheng and everyone else were seated, he began to reveal the long-standing secrets:

"To tell the whole story, we have to start with the origins of Qingshui Villa."

I don't need to say much, you all know that this villa is an old house passed down from my Fang family ancestors.

But do you know the true origin of this ancestral home? You probably don't, do you?

Fang Zheng glanced at everyone and saw that they all looked blank.

He didn't say much, just answered his own question:

"Qingshui Manor never belonged to the Fang family; it was a blood debt the Fang family seized from others!"

"What do you mean by that?" Upon hearing this, Chu Tianxiong and the others all changed their expressions.

Fang Zhenghe chuckled softly, a laugh tinged with suffocating guilt and endless bloodshed:

"Wasn't I obvious enough? What I mean is, this Clear Water Villa is not clean."

It was stolen goods, obtained by the Fang family ancestors with knives and blood, blatantly snatched from others!

"It's been over two hundred years!"

Fang Zheng clenched his fists tightly, his shoulders trembling violently.

"This beautiful land originally belonged to the then-famous Wei family."

A renowned and prestigious family with a long and distinguished history.

"And who were my ancestors? They were notorious bandits who specialized in robbing and plundering!"

He not only coveted the Wei family's wealth, but also this auspiciously located land.

He wanted to possess all of this and change his own destiny and that of his descendants!

"So what? What did your Fang family ancestors do?"

Zou Kai sat up straight. Although he had a vague idea in his mind, he still asked the question.

"What else do you think we can do? Didn't we already guess?"

Fang Zheng looked up at the pristine white ceiling of the ward, then painfully closed his eyes:

"On a stormy night, my ancestor Fang led a group of ruthless bandits..."

They stormed into the Wei family's territory and slaughtered all 185 members of the Wei family.

From elderly people with white hair to infants in swaddling clothes,

Along with the servants and maids who did odd jobs at the manor, none of them survived!

After a night of bloodshed, this mountain villa was transformed into a haunted house in the Arctic!

"The entire family was wiped out! One hundred and eighty-five people!"

A chill ran down Chu Tianxiong's spine, and he muttered to himself:

"Fang Zhenghe, I must say, your Fang family ancestor was truly a ruthless man!"

As for the others, they were also shocked by Fang Zhenghe's words, and a chill ran down their spines.

The way they looked at Fang Zhenghe revealed an indescribable meaning.

There was fear, apprehension, alienation, and a touch of melancholy.

Fang Zhenghe understood that look perfectly; if he were in that situation, he would have reacted the same way.

Silence fell in the ward again, until Zou Kai couldn't hold back any longer and asked again:

"So... if I'm not mistaken, those zombies that appeared that night..."

They must be former members of the Wei family, right? Why did they turn into zombies?

"You're right!" Fang Zhenghe nodded, and after a long pause, he slowly continued:

"The group of zombies that appeared that night were members of the Wei family who were sealed in the underground palace by our Fang family ancestors!"

As for why they turned into zombies, it's also related to my Fang family ancestors!

"What do you mean?" Zou Kai was caught in a knowledge gap and couldn't understand Fang Zhenghe's words.

"The Fang family is raising corpses!"

Lying on the hospital bed, Ling Feng answered Fang Zhenghe's question at this moment.

"Raising corpses?"

"Yes! The Fang family not only raises corpses, but also gathers evil spirits and accumulates wealth. Am I right?"

Faced with Ling Feng's direct gaze, Fang Zhenghe gave a wry smile, but had no choice but to nod in acknowledgment.

"You can see through anything!"

"Wait... what does 'gathering evil spirits to cultivate wealth' mean?" Xu Dajiang looked at Ling Feng with some confusion.

Ling Feng then gestured towards Fang Zheng with his chin: "Ask him!"

Fang Zhenghe's expression became extremely unnatural as he faced the unanimous gazes of everyone.

After letting out a long sigh, he slowly revealed the inside story of this insidious formation.

"The so-called 'gathering evil spirits to cultivate wealth' is actually just taking over the lives of the Wei family's more than one hundred members."

The resentful aura accumulated from their resentful deaths has brought generations of wealth and prosperity to our family.

At this point, he couldn't help but cover his face in shame, somewhat unable to face the strange looks from the crowd.

"Back then, my Fang family ancestor slaughtered the entire Wei family, which allowed him to acquire a great deal of wealth."

However, they also encountered a troublesome matter: they were haunted by the spirits of the Wei family members who died with resentment.

He was tormented day and night, unable to eat or sleep, and living in constant fear.

In order to suppress this boundless resentment, and also to preserve their immense wealth,

He risked everything, scattering countless treasures of gold and silver.

He finally found an evil sorcerer from the southern border!

"After receiving a large reward, the sorcerer devised a wicked scheme that was utterly immoral."

That would be to turn the entire manor into a giant prison for the dead.

A massive underground palace was excavated beneath the manor to house the bodies of the 185 members of the Wei family who had been murdered.

All of them were placed inside, and then runes for gathering evil spirits and locking souls were engraved with cinnabar, setting up a grand array for gathering evil spirits and nourishing wealth.

Not only will they be freed from the torment of the dead, but their families will also prosper even more!

Fang Zheng slowly released his hands from the cheek, his voice growing increasingly low:

"My Fang family ancestors were already tormented by the spirits of the Wei family, suffering terribly."

After hearing about the benefits of the great formation, he immediately accepted the sorcerer's advice.

With this vicious formation, the 185 souls of the Wei family were completely trapped.
