Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 426 - 158: The Bride with the Head of a Rat and Body of a Human! There’s More Than One Rat Immortal! (Ten Thousand Word - , Subscription Requested)_5
This day.
Everyone in the Zheng Family was extremely unsettled; they had made ample preparations for a head-on confrontation with the nest of Rat Immortals. For this reason... they had deliberately evacuated the villagers living near the Zheng Family, asking them to stay away from the Zheng residence today.
After all, they didn’t know whether clashing with the Rat Immortals would impact the nearby people.
And their doing so.
Also alerted some of the commoners who were unaware of the truth to something not quite right... Why would neighbors be sent away on what seemed like a day of great joy?
But every one of the Zheng Family kept tight-lipped and did not speak of the matter, leaving the villagers in the dark.
They could only take the silver that the Zheng Family gave them.
And then go indulge themselves.
The Zheng Family asked them to temporarily stay away from the grand residence, and they had no objections, because the amount of silver given to them by the Zheng Family... was enough to buy their houses!
Even with money to spare.
Quite a bit of money left over, in fact!
Under the circumstances of receiving so much silver, they could only suppress their curiosity.
One by one, they scampered away.
Away from the Zheng Family.
This resulted in, within a radius of one mile centered on the Zheng estate, there being hardly any outsiders. Within this range, there were only the Zheng family members and people like Fan Wu.
Zheng Sanshi, dressed in the bright red robe of a groom, wore an expression of utter panic.
He looked at the setting sun in the distance.
Cold sweat had already soaked his forehead.
He still felt terribly anxious.
In Zheng Sanshi’s eyes, the Zheng Family today was like a tiny boat in the vast ocean, and the tides rising in the ocean were not just water, but dense swarms of rats.
It was as if those rats could overturn that tiny boat with a single wave.
"Today is your big day, lad, looking so downcast doesn’t seem quite right, does it?" Yun Jiuqing saw his condition and couldn’t help but tease him.
Zheng Sanshi replied with a tearless sob, "I don’t want to look downcast either, I’d rather not have this day of great joy!"
Though this sounded a bit outrageous, he would rather marry a man than a Great Rat! Furthermore, it was a Rat that could lead to the downfall of the entire Zheng Family and even send every member of the Zheng Family gradually spiraling into death!
That was something he found even harder to accept.
The sky had completely darkened.
It could be said... within the Zheng Family, almost everyone was in a somber mood, with the sensation that they were about to sacrifice themselves.
Even though the residence was brightly lit and festive, it couldn’t conceal the distressed expressions on every face, nor could it hide the turmoil in their eyes.
Xing Fengzi was slightly nervous, because, having just come down from the mountain not long ago, he was about to do battle with an entity like the Rat Immortal.
To say he wasn’t nervous would be a lie.
Then.
He noticed Fan Wu beside him, who seemed to show no signs of nervousness. This Daoist Fan appeared utterly composed, as if what was coming was not the Great Rat Immortal but merely a common vengeful spirit or evil ghost.
This surprised Xing Fengzi. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Why was Daoist Fan so serene? Didn’t he know of the Rat Immortal’s cunning and power? Even if he didn’t, the tension among so many people in the Zheng Family should have been a clear indicator, right?
Xing Fengzi was puzzled.
Or could it be...
Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Xing Fengzi couldn’t help but ask, "Daoist Fan, do you truly have a method to counter the imminent Rat Immortal?"
However, before Fan Wu could reply, Xing Fengzi’s expression suddenly turned stern.
He seemed to sense something and spoke with grave concern, "They’re here!"
Yes!
They were indeed here!
Every one of the Zheng Family sensed that something was amiss with the current situation. A certain scent permeating the air seemed to be a bit out of the ordinary.
The Sutra Banners hanging all around the estate began to sway ceaselessly, and the talismans posted on some of the walls and doors were glowing faintly with golden light at this moment.
Xing Fengzi immediately took down a bag he was carrying on his back. He placed the bag on the ground and spread it out flat.
Inside the bag, aside from some silver...
It was filled entirely with Magic Artifacts and talismans!
Xing Fengzi took out a very small compass from among the Magic Artifacts, a Bagua Compass small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, which he now held in his palm. At the same time, he bit the tip of his right middle finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the Bagua Compass.
He muttered incantations under his breath.
In an instant!
The needle in the compass began to spin wildly, and the intricate lines drawn on the Bagua Compass glowed faintly, dazzling to behold.
"Over there!"
"At the front door!"
Xing Fengzi warned with grave seriousness, "They want to come in through the front door with audacity!"
As soon as his words fell, the surroundings of the Zheng estate began to be engulfed by a dense Yin Energy. This thick Yin Energy made everyone inside feel extremely uncomfortable.
Especially Zheng Sanshi, the "groom" of the night, who couldn’t help but shiver.
Because he was merely an ordinary man without the talent to practice the family’s Taoist Magic.
