Chapter 251

The aunt did not hold anything back, recounting the tragic fate of Huangshui Village in full detail. The girls in Huangshui Village were all known for their beauty, and the events that had unfolded were much as the old woman had described. At first, everyone had viewed the old woman as a benefactor; she guarded the Ancestral Hall and was always ready to stand up for them or offer guidance. They had thought they were finally escaping their sea of suffering, only to discover that her grandson was an even greater devil. He not only brought outsiders into the village to select girls—under the guise of matchmaking—but also enslaved the simple, honest villagers, forcing them to labor for him. He was also involved with practitioners of twisted, dark arts. Even when some villagers resisted and lost their lives, he did not even spare their souls. This was the first time Ye Zhixing had ever heard of souls being sold. Those people specifically sought out the souls of those who had died with immense Resentment.
