Zhong Niangyao nodded her head, "To become the Corpse King, one must sever familial ties. To lure out Master Zixiao, Ling Chao must kill his biological parents."
They couldn't just stand by and watch Ling Chao kill two more people.
Father Ling and Mrs. Ling, who had been immersed in sorrow, immediately snapped back to reality upon hearing Zhong Niangyao's words and looked extremely nervous and fearful.
"Lady Zhong," Father Ling's tone was strained, "you mean, Chao... he will kill us."
Beside him, Mrs. Ling also looked towards Zhong Niangyao nervously. She opened her mouth to speak but ended up saying nothing.
"Originally, according to Master Zixiao's plan, Ling Chao was supposed to kill you two," Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, her tone barely fluctuating. "Only then can Ling Chao become the true Corpse King and exert his greatest destructive power."
