Chapter 136 Yoyo Luming
When Li Quwan heard that something was wrong with the old ancestor, she rushed over immediately.
"Patriarch, the ancestor is completely covered in something black and is sitting there motionless. Is he about to pass away?"
Li Quwan slapped the Li family member next to her away, shouting, "Nonsense! That's the ancestor's protective aura. Even if you die, the ancestor won't die! Lock this person up and await further instructions!"
With a bang, Li Quwan anxiously pushed open the door and saw Li Youtian, who was covered in a black aura like mud, which calmed her down a bit.
Many people stood in the room, all looking at each other, at a loss for what to do.
After thinking for a moment, Li Quwan hurriedly said, "Our ancestor may be under a curse. Quickly go to the Sanyi Temple and ask Master Huanghao for help!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a thunderous boom was heard, and the black mud on Li Youtian's body was wiped away by the golden light, flowing down like muddy water, quickly revealing the terrified old man in his burial clothes underneath.
Li Quwan clenched her fists. Oh no! Even the ancestor's protective aura had been broken! Before she could even think about who could have done this, she saw Li Youtian slowly raise the hand holding the sickle blade, grip the blade with both hands, and shout, "Immortal! That's a real immortal! Daoist Master, have you ever seen a real immortal? Quickly, tell me, is immortality real? Is attaining immortality real?"
As he spoke, disregarding the blood on his hands that had been cut off by the sickle, he grabbed the sickle and tried to put it into his mouth.
Li Quwan knew perfectly well that this was a curse bewitching someone to swallow a knife and commit suicide. She took a step forward, grabbed the hilt of the knife, and tried to pull it out.
"Ancestor, wake up! Whatever you see is fake, a trick, an illusion!"
Lin Fan slammed the sickle down, "You old codger, still dreaming of becoming an immortal?"
Li Youshui gripped the blade tightly to stop him, "No, Daoist Master, just tell me, and I'll give you everything the Li family has!"
Li Quwan couldn't pull the knife handle anymore, so the Li family members behind her had already linked arms around each other's waists and formed a line, pulling Li Quwan out of the door like in a tug-of-war.
Li Youtian looked old, but his hands seemed to have immense strength as he still gripped the sickle and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.
"Ancestor, don't believe those lies and bewitchment, they're all false!" Li Quwan roared through gritted teeth.
She licked her molars open with her teeth, bit down hard, and a strange, bright red liquid slid down her throat.
Wings sprouted from her back, and her lips became more prominent and hardened, resembling a bird's beak.
Her power increased significantly, and the Li family members who followed her imitated her, many of them transforming into various animal forms. However, this still could not stop Li Youtian from swallowing the sickle.
"Master, please tell me, I shouldn't have lived such a mediocre life. I am the son of the White Dragon and the master of the Black Dragon. I should be above all living beings."
Lin Fan gave him a cold look. "If only your brother had been alive back then."
Enraged by this remark, Li Youshui retorted, "What use is he! If it were him, the Li family would have already perished! As long as I live, the Li family will prosper, while he will only bring about its destruction!"
The red-clad curse flew to Lin Fan's side, placed its hand on Lin Fan's hand, and disappeared into the scythe.
Hearing Li Youtian's inexplicable words, Li Quwan was extremely anxious and urged Master Huang Hao to arrive quickly.
Suddenly, I felt a numbness in my hand, and a dark, slippery, and nauseating sensation came from the hilt of the knife.
Li Quwan's hands lost strength, forcing her to release the knife handle.
With a thud, the sickle plunged deep into Li Youtian's mouth. The old man continued to struggle desperately, clutching the blade as if trying to pull it out, but in reality, he only pushed it deeper into the mouth.
"Ancestor, Ancestor! Great-Grandpa! No, no!" Li Quwan had just been pulled to the ground, and now she crawled to the bedside, touching the blood-covered corpse of the old man. She tried to pull out the sickle again, but the old man held on tightly, and the sickle wouldn't budge.
Swish!
With Li Quwan's continued efforts, the sickle was finally pulled out. Before she could even show a look of joy, she looked down and saw that the old man on the bed was completely still.
Li Quwan's pupils dilated, and she slid slowly down the wall in shock. "How could this be? How could this be? The Li family's sky has fallen... the sky has fallen..."
Lin Fan waited until Li Youshui stopped struggling, then finally let go and lay on the ground panting heavily.
When the iron rod disappeared, the sky began to crack in pieces. This place could no longer withstand the pressure, and the eerie realm could no longer be maintained. Now, the entire 'world' is reduced to a small area centered on a circular basin, with the rest of the world reduced to a dark starry sky.
The Li family, oblivious to this bizarre scene, gathered around Li Youtian, cheering their victory. Li Youtian was lucky not to have been trampled to death.
Lin Fan looked one last time in Li Youtian's direction. Li Youtian was also looking at Lin Fan, with only half of the rising sun behind him. Lin Fan's expression was complicated, and he finally managed a forced smile...
Lin Fan walked all the way to the entrance of the burned-down house, then turned around and said, "What are you planning to do by following me? You can do whatever you want, call for help whenever you want. But let's make it clear first, I won't just surrender."
Su Ping warily held up the rusty pistol in his hand. "I... I'm just doing this in case you do anything bad again."
Instead of worrying about me, you should go and fix those locks first.
Su Ping lowered his head and whispered, "I'm afraid the thing inside will bite me, I don't dare."
Lin Fan glanced in the direction of the animal pen, regretting that he hadn't gained anything from this trip.
Suddenly, a painful scream came from deep within the burning house, the sound of chains being pulled and vibrating was clear even from this distance, as if it were right next to their ears.
The birds and wild animals sleeping in the forest were all awakened. The silent night seemed to come alive in an instant. A series of chaotic sounds rang out, clearly indicating that these creatures, born of nature, were fleeing danger.
Lin Fan frowned as he stared in that direction, but joy gradually appeared in his eyes. It must have been a success; his main body had succeeded!
As the howls and the clanking of chains gradually subsided, bursts of angry roars came from the direction of the animal pen. The surrounding jungle grew quiet, but the commotion from the pen grew louder. Like a long-suppressed outburst, the beasts' howls became a chaotic mess.
Hearing the footsteps, the beasts were clearly rushing towards them. These wetland people fed them blood pills and extracted their essence every day, and the beasts could no longer contain their anger towards them.
An ancient, giant deer charged towards Su Ping, its blood-red eyes fixed on the diminutive Su Ping. It was tall but emaciated, like a skeleton with antlers, its body covered in deformities and pustules, not much uglier than the black dragon.
Just as the giant deer was about to gore Su Ping with its antlers, Lin Fan stepped in front of it. The deer looked at the stranger before it, stopped, and snorted, puffs of white vapor billowing out. It seemed to be ordering him to get out of the way, or else it would kill him too.
Lin Fan looked into those bloodshot eyes and said calmly, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. It's understandable that you want revenge on these people. But you should also understand who the real culprit is. Do you really want to waste your energy on these insignificant people first?"
Lin Fan stepped aside after speaking, saying, "That's all I have to say."
The giant deer's thin chest heaved like a bellows. It turned its head unhappily and cried out to the sky, "Yo-yo, yo-yo..."
The long, ancient cry of deer echoed across this ravaged land.
