   "Later, due to the strictness of national laws and the supervision of the Metaphysics Association, you dared not act openly anymore, so you turned to helping people cast curses, absorbing the souls and fortunes of the cursed to cultivate." Faced with Cheng Mengyun's revelation of his crimes over the years, Master Niu was too frightened to utter a single word in rebuttal. He was currently being punished by lightning, and if he dared to refute her and anger Cheng Mengyun, he feared he would suffer even more cruel torture. Cheng Mengyun turned to Mr. And Mrs. Sheng, saying coldly, "Your family is also a victim of his evil arts." "When he cast curses on you, he was actually using your fortunes and souls to nourish the heart inside this golden toad's belly." "Once you die, he will swallow this heart to enhance his own cultivation." Swallow a heart alive? That was a real heart, and it was taken from a living animal! This behavior was no different from that of a wild beast! Mr. Sheng felt his stomach churn and felt extremely nauseous. His wife, Li Hongmei, couldn't bear it any longer and vomited on the spot. You Ge covered her mouth tightly, saying incredulously, "It's disgusting!" Cheng Mengyun's gaze was icy as she stared intently at Master Niu, saying, "While the number of innocent people who died at your hands may not be in the thousands, there are certainly hundreds!" "A wicked cultivator like you, with your numerous crimes, deserves to be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell or the realm of hungry ghosts!" "In my opinion, you should be completely annihilated!" Among these hundreds of victims, besides the hundred girls born on yin days and months of yin years, there were many families like Mr. Sheng's. This Master Niu specialized in taking on curses targeting entire families. Once the curse took effect, the whole family would die, and the life energy of these victims was used to nourish animal hearts, which were ultimately devoured by Master Niu. After hearing this, Mr. Sheng was filled with lingering fear and said with emotion, "Master Cheng, thank goodness we met you!" If they hadn't met Master Cheng, if Master Cheng hadn't seen through their family's plight, all four of them would have become victims of Master Niu's evil arts. At that time, they would have faced the tragedy of their family being destroyed and their lives cut short. Cheng Mengyun raised the heart in her hand, her sharp gaze sweeping over Master Niu, and said, "You refined this thing, so you should be very clear about the consequences of its backlash, right?" Upon hearing this, Master Niu's face instantly turned pale.
