Chapter 42 features a scene that sends chills down everyone's spine.
Upon hearing this, even Su Minghui, who had been the most vocal just moments before, froze, swallowing back the doubts that were about to come out of his mouth.
This is a private matter for the Su family, and they have never told anyone outside the family. Even Qin Zhengxiong only knows that Su Yumei received a lot of birthday gifts.
But we don't know the specifics, nor do we know when she got sick, which just happens to coincide with the time she wore the pendant.
Shen Yu's prediction came true in one go, which shocked them greatly and instantly shook most of their previous doubts.
Shen Yu looked at their shocked expressions, but showed no surprise whatsoever, and his tone remained calm:
"This pendant is not an ordinary antique. It is a fragment of a soul-guiding pillar used by fishermen in the South China Sea to worship the dead a thousand years ago. It contains hundreds of years of yin energy and the resentment of more than a dozen people who drowned at sea."
"She wore it close to her body every day, and the evil spirits invaded her body day and night, locking away her seven spirits and binding her three souls, which is why she has the current symptoms."
"During the day, because of the strong yang energy, the yin energy is forced to sink into the meridians. Although it cannot manifest, it constantly suppresses her vitality, causing her to fall into a deep sleep."
"But at night, when the yin energy is at its peak, the yin evil, no longer suppressed by the yang energy, will erupt. It will lead her to places with water, causing her to become agitated and delirious in the middle of the night."
Shen Yu's words clearly reached everyone's ears, explaining Su Yumei's symptoms over the past three months in a clear and accurate manner.
Upon hearing this, Su Qiming trembled, and the way he looked at Shen Yu instantly changed!
He can explain the cause and effect in one breath; he's definitely not making it up!
But Su Minghui still refused to believe it, stubbornly insisting:
"So what if you got the time right? You just happened to find out! All that talk about yin energy and resentment is all made up! If you're so capable, show us what yin energy is! If we can't see it, you're a liar!"
He still believes that Shen Yu inquired about the Su family beforehand and came here to swindle and deceive.
What Yin Sha? It's all just an ethereal thing, impossible for anyone to see.
Su Qing quickly chimed in:
"That's right! Talk is cheap! If you're really capable, show us your 'yin energy'!"
Qin Zhengxiong was so angry that his face turned black. He was about to curse these two ignorant fools when Shen Yu waved his hand again, stopping him.
Shen Yu glanced at Su Minghui, a faint, cold smile playing on his lips:
"Alright. I'll show you with your own eyes what Yin Sha resentment really is. But let me make this clear: if you actually see it and something goes wrong, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."
Su Minghui's heart skipped a beat, but he still forced himself to speak:
"Stop pretending! Come at me if you dare! I'm not afraid!"
Shen Yu stopped arguing with him and focused his gaze on the black coral pendant around Su Yumei's neck.
He gestured for Su Jianbin to take the pendant off. Su Jianbin didn't dare to delay and quickly and carefully took the pendant off his daughter's neck and handed it to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu took the pendant, pinching the top of it between his fingertips, and said to everyone:
"Everyone, step back three meters. If you don't want to be invaded by evil spirits and get seriously ill, stay away."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Su family were so frightened that they retreated several steps. Even Su Minghui and Su Qing subconsciously took several steps back, but they still stiffened their necks and stared intently at the pendant in Shen Yu's hand.
As Shen Yu watched the crowd retreat, he gathered a barely perceptible wisp of spiritual energy at his fingertips and gently touched the black coral pendant.
The pure spiritual energy instantly surged into the pendant, colliding violently with the Yin energy and resentment that had lingered within for hundreds of years.
The next second, a scene that sent chills down everyone's spines unfolded.
The once warm and lustrous black coral pendant suddenly oozed cold, black water droplets, which landed on the solid wood floor with a sizzling, ear-piercing sound.
The hard wooden floor was instantly corroded with countless tiny pits, and it also emitted a strong, fishy smell.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly thick black mist surged wildly out of the pendant.
The mist gathered together, and a dozen distorted human faces could be vaguely seen, emitting mournful howls that sent chills down one's spine and made one's hair stand on end.
The temperature in the entire bedroom plummeted at that moment. It was the height of summer, yet it felt as cold as the dead of winter. Everyone couldn't help but shiver and get goosebumps all over their bodies.
The bedroom lights also began to flicker wildly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.
Even though the windows were tightly closed, a sudden gust of cold wind swept in, chilling everyone to the bone. The water glass on the bedside table was overturned by the wind and shattered on the floor.
"ah!!"
Su Qing screamed in fright, staggered backward, and collapsed to the ground, trembling like a leaf.
Su Minghui was so frightened that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground with a thud. Looking at the churning black mist, he couldn't even speak coherently:
"Ghosts...there really are things...there really are malevolent spirits..."
The Su Jianbin couple were so frightened that they froze, huddled together, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
They had lived most of their lives and had never seen such a terrifying scene!
Su Qiming also gasped, looking at the black mist and then at the calm-looking Shen Yu, his eyes instantly filled with extreme awe.
There really is a malevolent spirit!
Unexpectedly, Su Qiming, who had lived most of his life, was no different from a frog in a well.
They can't even see through these things.
This Mr. Shen is truly a remarkable person! No wonder Qin Zhengxiong and Lu Zongming both admire and respect him so much! They were simply too narrow-minded!
Qin Zhengxiong and Lu Zongming were no less shocked than the others.
Even though they already held Shen Yu in high esteem, they felt there was nothing that could make them surprised anymore.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but gasp, their awe of Shen Yu deepening even further.
Although I had witnessed Shen Yu's abilities before, they were still within the realm of scientific explanation. His medical skills were merely miraculous, not too outrageous.
But now, even Yin Sha has appeared. Despite such a terrifying thing, Shen Yu is not nervous or afraid at all, and even seems to be handling it with ease.
It seems that Mr. Shen is more unfathomable than they imagined.
Just then, several dark figures suddenly burst out from the black mist, rushing towards Su Minghui, who was closest to them, with a shrill shriek!
Su Minghui was terrified. He watched helplessly as the dark figure lunged at him. He tried to dodge, but his body was frozen in fear, and he couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as he waited to die.
