Chapter 271 [Slaughter] (Supplement)
The Soul Suppressing Lamp suddenly lit up!
The bit of turquoise fire flickered, as large as a bean, yet instantly transformed into a peculiar brilliance.
From the light, a transparent spectral figure stepped out, clad in an apricot-yellow Taoist Robe, holding a wooden sword, with a Daoist Crown on its head!
The wooden sword in its hand pointed directly at the Li Family Evil Cultivator, and a low chant emerged from its mouth.
With a buzz, Chen Yan felt as if something lightly shook his mind, as though he heard a faint chant in his ears.
"Speed!"
·
The spectral figure rushed forward with a whistle, like a bolt of lightning, towards the Li Family Evil Cultivator. It passed through the body in the blink of an eye.
The Li Family old ghost’s body, originally exuding black gas, suddenly stiffened, and its previously trembling and struggling posture abruptly froze, as if the power had been cut off.
Then, the body fell to the ground with a bang, transforming into boundless black gas that dissipated into the air!
Looking again at the midair, the spectral figure resembling a Taoist priest now hovered there, wooden sword lowered, making a bow towards the ground with one hand.
The billowing black gas scattered into the atmosphere, and as it volatilized, scenes began to appear on the dark curtain-like gas...
·
A young infant, white and tender like lotus roots, wrapped in a red cloth, surrounded by shadowy adults, watching, laughing. Then the infant reached out to grasp a longevity lock in their hand...
·
A child of three or four, mischievously climbing a rockery, with two girls who appeared to be maids anxiously waving their hands at him below, while the child laughed heartily.
·
The child held a book, chanting while shaking their head, as a richly dressed woman gently placed a bowl of soup on their desk...
·
The child gradually grew taller, kneeling in a family shrine full of ancestral tablets, under the guidance of a stern middle-aged man, offering incense respectfully...
·
With black smoke and fire raging everywhere, the house filled with corpses, the child stood dazed by the lotus pond, dripping wet, stunned, before letting out a heart-wrenching howl...
·
In a mountain place, beneath the eerie Ancient Tomb, a young boy lay in the tomb, clothes tattered, rolling painfully on the ground, crying out in agony.
·
A young man knelt under the moonlight, face somber, using a knife to harshly slice open his arm, watching the blood flow freely, and before him on the ground were piles of white bones...
·
Scene after scene unfolded like a movie, then dissipated.
A walk through the tragic life of this Li Family old ghost!
In the final scene...
The sinister-faced old man knelt in the dilapidated courtyard, grinning hideously, waved his hand to unleash the vast black gas, making the wrecked courtyard look new again, and then various creatures like rats and snakes transformed into human forms in the golden light, walking around the courtyard like household servants...
The old man knelt among them, tears streaming down his face as he watched the scene around him.
·
"...Alas!"
Chen Yan sighed. "Although detestable, he is indeed a pitiful person."
Finally, the vast black gas gradually dispersed completely, and the body of the Li Family old ghost, which had fallen to the ground, also turned into a pile of bones, with its clothes and flesh turning to dust, blown away by the wind.
With a thud, by Chen Yan’s side, Shen Shiqi had slowly kneeled on the ground.
The spectral Taoist figure in the air bowed down and hovered before Shen Shiqi, quietly gazing at him, then slowly clasped his hands in salute.
"Congratulations, young friend, for seeing your wish fulfilled."
"Congratulations, old Taoist, for avenging the great enmity." Shen Shiqi said with a pale face, forcing a smile.
The old Taoist’s remnant soul turned and looked at Chen Yan, also bowing with gratitude: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your assistance."
Chen Yan observed the increasingly transparent remnant soul of the old Taoist and suddenly spoke: "Your remnant soul’s Spiritual Power is about to run out and will soon dissipate."
"With my wishes fulfilled, the old Taoist has no regrets," the old Taoist smiled faintly.
But Chen Yan suddenly tugged at his mouth: "Old Taoist, I have a question for you."
"Please speak, fellow Daoist."
"Do you wish to die?"
The semi-transparent shadow of the old Taoist seemed to quiver, looking at Chen Yan in bewilderment: "What do you mean, fellow Daoist?"
Chen Yan spoke lightly: "Do you wish to die or live?"
"To die is to die; if not dying is an option, naturally I wish to live." The old Taoist finished speaking, his face changing slightly, toward Chen Yan, offering a full salute: "Please guide me, fellow Daoist!"
Chen Yan extended his hand, revealing a piece of white candle in his palm.
The old Taoist’s eyes, initially dim, suddenly sparked with light: "Li Fire!"
"Your Soul Suppressing Lamp only contained a small amount of Li Fire Copper, but it’s consumed and can’t shelter your remnant soul. But I..."
The old Taoist took a deep breath: "Dare I ask, fellow Daoist, what do you wish for?"
Chen Yan faintly smiled: "There’s no time to say now, your soul can’t endure much longer, enter first. Since I’m offering the treasure to extend your life, you..."
"If a fellow Daoist asks, I dare not refuse!" The old Taoist was quick to respond, immediately raising his hand to make an oath: "Under the Heavenly Dao, as long as what’s sought by the fellow Daoist does not violate the Heavenly Principle or common morality, I, the old Taoist, shall not hesitate to comply!"
"Go inside!" Chen Yan nodded with satisfaction.
