I Am Your Natural Enemy-Chapter 488 - 199: Return to the Mountain, Water Monarch’s Concern (5k)
Wen Yan personally carved the inscription; although his skill was certainly not as good as that of a professional, the significance was different.
Looking at the basement, he wondered if he should ask Wu Tingsheng whether it would be possible to dig another layer down.
After considering it, he felt that this idea was not very reliable, so why not ask Gauss if there was any Magic that could expand the space?
The basement was just a single room. Although the space was not too small, there were Shelves in the corner, his Uncle’s altar, his great-aunt’s altar to be added, as well as his Grandma’s altar, and also that nameless tablet. With four altars set up, the space seemed a bit cramped.
Perhaps he should just buy the unrenovated building to the west as well.
Wen Yan stretched out his hand to brush the wood shavings off the tablet, applied two more coats of wood polish, then propped up the tablet with a small stand, placing it on the table. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
He hadn’t yet personally told Aunt Gan about his great-aunt’s matter.
He knew how Aunt Gan would react after learning about it.
For a thousand years, she had clung to that tiny sliver of hope that was completely invisible. Now, if she knew about this, it would probably ignite that invisible hope completely.
Wen Yan sighed inwardly. Forget it, I should still mention it.
After all, his great-aunt hadn’t told him to conceal it, so he couldn’t take it upon himself to hide such a matter.
After setting up the great-aunt’s tablet properly and lighting three sticks of incense, he bowed respectfully and then also offered incense to his Uncle.
He took out his phone and transferred the video he had taken in its entirety onto a USB drive, then moved the Shelves and opened the window to Fuyu Mountain.
Within less than three seconds of opening the window, a small Flying Sword hovered outside the window, silently circling.
"Brother Jian, hello."
Wen Yan first greeted, and then came out through the window.
Initially, after returning, he should have come here to visit. Unfortunately, on the first day back, his Grandma entrusted him with a dream, so he had to deal with urgent matters first. It was also fortunate that he went directly after receiving the dream.
To avoid traveling for a whole day, he had asked the Grave Walker to lead the way through a shortcut, which is how he made it in time.
Otherwise, if he had been even a little careless and delayed for half a day, Chen Qimo would have certainly been finished.
A unique Ghost that ordinary people dare not kill, once it possessed a physical body, would truly be a big problem.
The plan to visit Fuyu Mountain ended up being delayed until now.
While Wen Yan still wanted to exchange a few pleasantries with Brother Jian, as soon as Brother Jian confirmed it was Wen Yan, he disappeared in an instant.
Wen Yan landed on the ground and immediately felt that the atmosphere of Fuyu Mountain was a bit different from the past, with a bit more weight.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed around; he could still feel the rising of Yin Qi deep in Fuyu Mountain, much stronger than in the past.
Fourth Great-Uncle Master had sent him messages before, but had never mentioned any incident occurring on Fuyu Mountain.
Now it seemed that something had indeed happened, but Fuyu Mountain had solved it internally and hadn’t informed him nor outsiders.
He appeared for about ten seconds when someone came to greet him and took him inside.
Both Seventh Great-Uncle Master and Eighth Great-Uncle Master were there, and neither had rested yet.
"What’s going on, Seventh and Eighth Great-Uncle Masters?"
"No trouble, just a small issue. Recently, the Yin Qi in the back mountain has been intensifying at night. Bodies buried in the mountains over the years have turned into Zombies and crawled out of their coffins. Occasionally, a Ghost appears on the back mountain, all of which have been dealt with. Something seems to be lurking outside the mountain, but the surveillance hasn’t captured it. Your Third Great-Uncle Master guards the Mountain Sect. Any common creature that shows up is as good as dead. You don’t have to worry; if we had problems here, then it would be a big issue."
"That’s good to hear. Have Grand Uncle Master and Fourth Great-Uncle Master gone to rest already?"
"Yes, they have rested. I’m used to staying up late, and I can’t sleep right now."
"Aunt Gan is in the mountain as well, right?"
"She is. Do you need her for something?"
"There’s a bit of a matter. In the Netherworld, I met Aunt Gan’s sister."
Seventh Great-Uncle Master and Eighth Great-Uncle Master both widened their eyes in shock, leaning back slightly.
The eyes of Eighth Great-Uncle Master looked like they were about to fall out.
"Was it that Big Executor?"
"Yes..." Wen Yan nodded. "Last time there was an urgent matter, and I didn’t explain clearly. Actually, it was a wisp of consciousness that had descended. Never mind, I recorded a video; we’ll let Aunt Gan see for herself."
Eighth Great-Uncle Master nodded and, in a flash, disappeared from the spot.
Before long, a sonic boom could be heard in the sky as Aunt Gan descended from the heavens.
She had an urgent expression on her face, but when she reached the threshold, her steps faltered slightly, hesitating as if she was afraid to step in.
The hope she had sought for so long, when she could finally grasp a sliver of it, actually brought forth a hint of fear in her heart.
She feared that this tiny sliver of hope would lead to a deeper despair.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Gan Tang took a deep breath, crossed the threshold, and stepped inside the room.
Seventh Great-Uncle Master had already taken out a laptop, and Wen Yan had connected the USB drive, just waiting for Gan Tang to watch.
"Aunt Gan, this is the video I filmed in the Netherworld. Would you like to watch it here or take it back to watch?"
"I’ll... I’ll take it back to watch," said Gan Tang, her usual decisiveness replaced with some hesitation.
"Press this key to continue playing the video."
Wen Yan handed the laptop to Gan Tang, and as he watched her soar into the sky and disappear from view, he sighed deeply.
"In the Netherworld, I encountered the Sect Hierarch of the Sacred Fire Sect. Over there, using the Sacred Fire and the sacrifices of other followers, he was able to recreate a day in the area around the main city.
"Unable to defeat me, he recreated the day my great-aunt had razed their so-called Holy City to the ground."
