Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 903 - 269: [Innocent or Not?]
Chapter 269[Is It Injustice?]
The pages of the book suddenly started to turn by themselves, rustling loudly. Chen Yan pulled Shen Shiqi behind him, but he himself stepped forward.
A golden light gradually appeared on the pages, and a cold voice said, "Since it’s about the Sun Family business, then come and see."
Chen Yan laughed heartily, watching the golden light flicker on the pages, and turned to Shen Shiqi, shouting, "Wait for me here!"
After speaking, Chen Yan jumped right in!
With a swish, his body was enveloped in the golden light and disappeared.
·
After jumping into the golden light, Chen Yan opened his eyes, only to find himself standing outside the gates of the Li Mansion again!
But now, upon looking at the Li Mansion, it appeared utterly decrepit.
The once grand and majestic gate had its panels leaning precariously, with numerous bronze nails having fallen off. The plaque above had dropped to the ground, covered in a layer of dust.
The walls on either side of the courtyard were full of patches, many areas having collapsed, though the foundation barely stood, with weeds overgrown at their base.
If this place were used for shooting a ghost film, it would be the perfect location.
Chen Yan thought for a moment, reached out to grip his sword, straightened up, and walked briskly forward, kicking open the collapsed gate and stepping into the front yard, shouting loudly, "Li Family, I am here!"
I am here... here... here... here...
The front yard was empty, not a shadow of a person to be seen, with only Chen Yan’s voice echoing back.
The corridors on both sides had already collapsed, some places with beams fallen onto the ground.
The once flat ground of the front yard had numerous overturned tiles, with grass stubbornly growing in the gaps.
Squinting his eyes, Chen Yan surveyed his surroundings and then strode towards the main hall.
The door to the main hall was indeed open, but once inside, the furnishings were almost all but wrecked, especially the two chairs at the front which had rotted away.
Chen Yan looked up to see the ceiling of the main hall had a large hole, broken tiles scattered on the ground in a crumbled mess.
Chen Yan chuckled, shouting loudly, "Didn’t you ask me to come in for a meeting? Why, now that I’ve entered, are you afraid to show yourself?"
With that, Chen Yan raised his sword, walked behind the main hall, and slashed through a screen!
With a crash, Chen Yan sliced the screen apart, letting wood flakes fly, his body rushing forward.
Breaking through the back door of the main hall, Chen Yan arrived in the central courtyard only to find it even more dilapidated than the front yard!!
·
In the central courtyard, the row of side rooms on both sides was relatively intact, but the courtyard had two fallen trees, now reduced to rotten logs.
On the ground, there were patches of black stains, which Chen Yan approached to squat down and inspect, his expression subtly changing!
These weren’t just black stains but traces of blood!
Blood had splattered on the ground, darkening over time!
He stood up, looking around, his expression moved.
There were spots of leftover blackened blood stains on the ground, indicating that a brutal massacre had definitely occurred here.
How many people had died, who could tell!
In the depths of his mind, Chen Yan felt an intention gradually interfering with him, as if he could "see" scenes in the courtyard...
Men and women, young and old, dragged out from various rooms and behind doors by groups of blade-wielding people.
Dragged to the courtyard, they were executed like pigs and dogs, one stab each, killed on the spot in the yard!
The screams and miserable wails, pleas before death, or curses in despair...
Twisted faces, faces grey and green after death...
Chen Yan seemed to "see" a beautiful young woman being dragged a short distance in front of him by a strong man in black, then stabbed in the back, the blade tip emerging from her chest.
Blood gushed from the woman’s mouth, her eyes filled with pain and reluctance, as she collapsed sideways to the ground, her eyes gradually losing their light...
As the scenes played out, Chen Yan gently exhaled and slowly continued to walk inside.
He moved to the side, passing through a moon gate to reach the rear courtyard.
During his walk, the massacre scenes flashed along his path, yet Chen Yan remained indifferent, only squinting his eyes. As he walked, his steps grew increasingly light, carefully avoiding the illusionary corpses lying on the ground, as if fearful of stepping on them...
Crossing the moon gate to the rear house, the scenes grew ever bloodier and crueler!
·
Chen Yan entered the rear courtyard, walking past a pavilion and tower, seeing ferocious strongmen inside laughing brutally, wielding knives to strike down a maid-like girl before ruthlessly throwing a torch into the building.
Strongmen picked up half-clothed women, carrying them with wild laughter, moving into another room nearby.
Strongmen carried bulging sacks, their faces gleaming with proud smiles, as they exited one house and quickly dashed into another.
A small-statured child was seized by the leg and slammed into the ground by a strongman!
Passing a lotus pond, Chen Yan suddenly turned his head.
A water bridge at the lotus pond’s end led to a pavilion, where a beautifully dressed woman was cornered into the pavilion by two blade-wielding strongmen.
