Chapter 144

After all, other people’s ancestors were truly wealthy.

When people from the Yin family go out, they only need to say one sentence: “Ancestor Yin Changsheng.”

Next, they will probably receive an enthusiastic response: “Please take a seat.”

This is also why the Yin family’s genealogy, mixed with those travel records, seemed low-end and boring, but Li Zhuoyuan could still read it with relish. It was because the Yin family’s ancestors could always join high-end banquets, and in the plain records, they would suddenly give you a surprise.

However, Li Zhuoyuan noticed something unusual: Yin Meng was closing her eyes, biting her lips, her body trembling constantly, seemingly in great pain.

After a while, Yin Meng finally opened her eyes, exhaled, and her face was full of fatigue, as if her spirit had been drained.

What was wrong with her?

And at this time, their side still needed to move forward. The phantom maids and eunuchs were guiding them in front, seemingly leading people to their seats.

Li Zhuoyuan and the other two carried the grass poles to the first row of seats below the main platform. The maids and eunuchs immediately made gestures of invitation to sit.

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng were a bit stunned. They also knew they were ‘fake goods’. If they really put the grass poles down and sat, wouldn’t they immediately expose their true forms?

Seeing this group of people hesitate to sit, the nearby maids and eunuchs all surrounded them, and people further away also slowly turned their heads to look in their direction.

The situation suddenly became tense. The general in armor on the main platform also seemed to turn slightly, about to sweep his gaze towards them.

The corpse driving team that had followed Li Zhuoyuan in came to the second row from the back. The person carrying the pole in front squatted down at the same time, turning their body sideways.

“Dong…”

A crisp muffled sound, as if something had slid down.

Immediately, the pole carrier stood up, their steps becoming much lighter. They turned around, changed the front of the team to the back, and began to leave.

Li Zhuoyuan had good hearing. If he couldn’t see, he would listen. He probably simulated a set of actions in his mind.

The one in the original corpse driving team whose feet didn’t touch the ground, after being placed behind the table case, should be kneeling and sitting in the row behind him.

So, this was the meaning.

But what they were carrying was a straw man.

However, in the current situation, there was no better method.

Li Zhuoyuan: “Squat down.”

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng immediately squatted down. The young man hugged the straw man down from the grass pole, then sat behind the case, holding the straw man.

“You two follow the other corpse driving people out. Be extra careful, don’t expose any flaws.”

Tan Wenbin and Runsheng immediately nodded, lifted the grass pole, turned to leave, and followed the corpse driving team that had just unloaded their person.

“Little brother.”

Xiong Shan’s voice came, and Li Zhuoyuan turned his head to look over.

Just behind the table case to his left, there was a straw man placed there. On top of the straw man was a swaddling cloth, and inside, a child was sleeping soundly.

“Please.”

After Xiong Shan left this sentence, he and Li Hua, mimicking Runsheng and Tan Wenbin’s appearance earlier, turned their heads and followed the leaving team.

When you try to muddle through by disguising yourself, unfortunately, the spotlight hits you. Then, you can only continue to act according to the process that should be followed here.

Next, without any accidents, they, as well as Runsheng, only needed to go and receive other ‘people’, and it was highly likely that they were all the kind of existence that ‘cannot be looked at directly’. The danger coefficient was too high.

Relatively speaking, leaving the child here was safer.

Xiong Shan already had a clear intention to retreat, so as long as there was a choice, he would not start a conflict here and tear face.

When Li Zhuoyuan saw Yin Meng sitting in the VIP seat and Lin Shuyou accompanying her below, the originally most important conflict was also gone.

At least for now, it didn’t seem like they were being forced to overturn the table at all costs.

Even if they had to resolve it later, they could still feel out the situation. At least, they needed to understand what the origins of these ‘cannot be looked at directly’ guys were.

With these guys here, if they haven’t even made a move yet and are already losing a large part, if they can’t even look at them, then what’s the point of fighting?

After sitting down steadily, hugging the straw man, Li Zhuoyuan began to look in Lin Shuyou’s direction. Unfortunately, both he and Lin Shuyou were sitting in the first row next to the main platform, and on different sides, just blocking the line of sight.

Li Zhuoyuan tried hugging the straw man and slowly stood up.

But along with his action, the nearby maids and eunuchs first looked over, then, like before, people further away also looked over and began to approach him.

They seemed to be offering enthusiastic service, coming to ask what the noble person needed.

Li Zhuoyuan was helpless and could only sit back down.

But at least he could confirm that sitting here was safe as long as he didn’t do anything out of line.

If he couldn’t see Lin Shuyou, then he could only continue to look at Yin Meng on the main platform.

Fortunately, Yin Meng was sitting directly opposite him, which meant that from Yin Meng’s angle, she only needed to look forward to see him.

But unfortunately, because he was hugging the straw man with the Chenzhou talisman attached, Yin Meng had absolutely no reaction to him.

Perhaps, in her eyes, he was just one of the ‘ordinary’ people.

No, not only that, she was also deliberately not raising her head to look in his direction. She also knew that he ‘cannot be looked at directly’.

Lin Shuyou had vertical pupils, so he could still hope to try to communicate with him on that side. But Yin Meng hadn’t even learned to walk Yin until now…

Walk Yin?

Li Zhuoyuan suddenly recalled Yin Meng’s abnormal behavior earlier. She wouldn’t be walking Yin just now, would she?

Walking was so painful, so tormenting, and the time was still so short, and she was as tired as if she were exhausted.

Their ancestors were the Great Emperor of Fengdu, Fengdu’s twelve edicts, governing ten thousand ghosts. But as a person from the Yin family, Yin Meng hadn’t even been able to see a ghost for a long time, which was really a disgrace to her ancestors.

Now, she finally learned.

When did she learn?

When she went out, there was really nothing to do in the train’s hard sleeper carriage, or when she was watching Brother Hu and the other two, she was really too bored, couldn’t calculate accounts or inventory goods, and there was no Zheng Jiayi to accompany her shopping, so she just gritted her teeth and practiced walking Yin again, and then, finally enlightened?

The corpse driving team at the bottom of the lake in Peach Flower Village was divided into two parts. Each time they came out, one part would wander nearby, like a bus, picking up people who were about to die or had just died.

The other part would run to further places like urban areas and randomly select a lucky person from the Xie, Wang, and Bu families to be lamp oil fuel. This was a kind of revenge behavior.

There must have been some mistake in this process. Perhaps the man-made ditch he dug was where Brother Hu and the other two started to get caught in the waves, and the situation started to escalate, or it was some pure coincidence… but finally, it caused Yin Meng to expose her family background in front of the corpse driving team.

Then, this group of people was treated as distinguished guests and forcibly invited here.

Based on Lin Shuyou’s performance, this time, his book friend was probably implicated by Yin Meng.

He had no confidence in defeating this corpse driving team, especially since there was a terrible guy with feet not touching the ground in the team. There was really nothing he could do, and he was also afraid that Yin Meng would be taken away something wrong, so he just hardened his heart and also joined the team.

Lin Shuyou had no choice because the corpse driving team was fleeting, and there was fundamentally no time for him to find a phone to call for instructions. And with his position as a new member, if Yin Meng was just taken away like that and he stayed alone, it would be extremely awkward.

Currently, he could only guess these things.

Li Zhuoyuan lowered his head. The table case was empty.

This general was also stingy. He invited guests for a meal, but didn’t even put out some fruits or cold dishes.

He didn’t dare to eat, but at least he could touch and look to pass the time.

Perhaps, ‘jade plate delicacies’ could only be seen in the walk Yin state after the banquet formally started.

At this time, the child woke up and began to babble.

He and the child were hugging the same model of straw man, so they could see each other’s ‘true body’.

The child’s voice gradually attracted the nearest maid.

From this maid’s perspective, this ‘noble person’ should be expressing some dissatisfaction and wanting something.

Honestly, if this child started crying now, or waved his hands and kicked his legs, rolling himself off the straw man, the end…

Li Zhuoyuan looked at him, put his index finger on his lips, and made a ‘shh’ gesture.

The child saw, the child laughed, and also stopped making sounds. He actually closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Even Li Zhuoyuan, who wasn’t like a child, felt that this child was really well-behaved.

As expected of a child carrying merit, he wouldn’t inexplicably cause himself to die.

Another corpse driving team came in.

Li Zhuoyuan carefully turned his head. There was a guy he couldn’t look at sitting behind him, so he needed to avoid him a bit, and he also needed to keep his line of sight low.

He saw Runsheng. Runsheng walked in front, still carrying the grass pole, with a person behind him.

He closed his eyes, counted silently, then opened them, skipped the one in the middle, and he saw Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin turned his head and also saw Li Zhuoyuan. He cleared his throat, wanting to shout out, but was afraid that his voice would be too loud and cause a commotion. Finally, he only mouthed:

“So many… so many so many…”

Li Zhuoyuan understood.

Runsheng, under the guidance of the maids and eunuchs, was preparing to put the person down.

After all, it was their first time properly carrying a person as corpse drivers. Although they squatted down together, when they were turning the pole, they couldn’t control the amplitude well, which caused the person they were carrying to fall down.

“Ka deng… ka deng…”

Li Zhuoyuan could only distinguish their actions by listening to the sound, but immediately there were continuous friction sounds. The one who fell should have returned to the back of the table case by himself.

Okay, the service quality was not up to standard, but there seemed to be no customer complaints here.

Thinking about it, Runsheng and Tan Wenbin also felt relieved in their hearts.

Li Zhuoyuan still saw Xiong Shan and Li Hua. The couple was also carrying a person. After all, they were a couple, so they cooperated tacitly, like old corpse drivers, steadily seating the ‘guest’.

Before the couple left, they all looked at their son who was placed there.

Round after round, the corpse driving team continuously brought in one ‘cannot be looked at directly’ monster after another.

As these guys increased, Li Zhuoyuan couldn’t even turn his head to look. He could only maintain a lowered head state.

No way, if he turned his head, they were all in the vision forbidden zone.

He only needed to sit here, which was still okay. Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, who were transporting people behind him, were getting more and more difficult. They couldn’t even look at the maids and eunuchs who were guiding them. Even if they only looked down at their feet to walk, there was a guy sitting below them who couldn’t be looked at directly.

The two of them simply gave up. After entering the banquet hall, they simply squatted down directly, flipped the grass pole, and unloaded the ‘master’.

Then, that ‘master’ would crawl by himself towards the designated position according to the guidance of the maids and eunuchs.

Seeing that they did this without any impact, Xiong Shan and his wife also learned by example.

Next, every time a batch of corpse drivers sent guests over, Li Zhuoyuan would hear two ‘ding dong’ sounds at the door. People were dropping off guests, and their two teams were unloading cement.

He didn’t know how many trips they made, but finally, they finished transporting.

The banquet hall was full.

The large door closed, and the banquet was about to begin.

In a crevice outside the road, all the corpse driving teams were standing neatly inside, holding their poles.

They had completed their task and were waiting here now.

Here, basically everyone was dead. Some people were brightly dressed, wearing Taoist robes, while others were in rags, and their bodies were also corrupted to a certain extent.

However, the corpse drivers here were similar to sedan bearers. Under normal circumstances, they could pick up people from outside to supplement the team.

At the entrance of the crevice, a phantom eunuch stood with his back to them, not moving. He should be the guard.

Tan Wenbin: “Damn, I’m going to be exhausted. I didn’t expect there to be so many masters.”

Runsheng nodded.

Although they didn’t dare to look at how many people they had transported to just now, as long as the pole was put down, someone would immediately climb up.

Xiong Shan: “Wait until the banquet inside ends. Remember, transport the other people back first. We’ll pick up our people last. Wait until everyone else has left, then we can go back to the lake surface through the waterfall behind the banquet hall and leave here.”

Tan Wenbin: “But what if other corpse driving teams go to pick up our people? They might all be dead people, truly dead-hearted.”

Xiong Shan: “They’re sitting in the innermost seats. It should be just right to start picking from the outside. We’ll cooperate well and adapt to changes. It’s not difficult.”

Nonsense, you only need to pick one, we need to pick three. Of course, you can stand and talk without back pain.

Tan Wenbin asked: “That, Brother Xiong, are you really not going to deal with the matter here?”

Xiong Shan: “Those three families harmed my brothers. The general here has an enmity with those three families. I wish the general can escape and help me exterminate those three families.”

Tan Wenbin: “If the general escapes, the impact may not be just on those three families. I’m afraid it will cause widespread suffering.”

Li Hua: “As long as we can get revenge, what does widespread suffering have to do with us…”

Xiong Shan: “Li Hua!”

Li Hua closed her mouth.

Tan Wenbin looked around a bit and saw that the phantom eunuch was quite far away. And when they were talking, the eunuch also didn’t react. He just took out a cigarette case from his pocket and lit a cigarette.

Seeing Xiong Shan looking at him, he also threw one to Xiong Shan.

Smoking a cigarette was not too excessive. This place was actually just a parking lot. Everyone was just ‘storing their cars’.

Seeing them smoking, Runsheng also took out incense and just lit it.

The eunuch in the very front just turned around and walked towards them.

He could smoke here, but couldn’t burn incense. Runsheng was about to pinch out the incense, but was stopped by Tan Wenbin:

“Don’t, give our eunuch one too.”

Runsheng inserted the burning incense into the ground.

After the eunuch walked over, he didn’t do anything. He just squatted in front of the incense on the ground, sucking forcefully with a face of enjoyment.

Tan Wenbin still teased: “Does the eunuch want a little Su?”

The eunuch didn’t pay attention and continued to suck the incense with his head down.

Tan Wenbin looked at Xiong Shan and asked: “Is this a real ghost? Can he still eat incense fire?”

Xiong Shan replied: “He should have been buried here and become the general’s subordinate.”

Immediately, Xiong Shan asked again: “How is it? Is this place evil?”

Tan Wenbin shrugged: “Brother Xiong, if you want to chat, just find my old man to chat. Don’t think you can extract information from me, hehe.”

Xiong Shan smiled: “I’m just curious about all of you, especially about your old man.”

Tan Wenbin exhaled a smoke ring and said: “Brother Xiong, there’s a sentence I shouldn’t say. If I say it wrong, don’t blame me.”

“Say it.”

“Sealing the general and revenge are actually two things. There’s no need to forcibly combine them. Even if Brother Xiong you want to retire, finish this and then receive the goods. Anyway, secure the money first.

After this matter ends, you can take revenge later. With Brother Xiong’s ability, you don’t necessarily need to borrow this general’s power to target those three families. It’s not worth it.”

“I’m very curious about your purpose in advising me like this.”

“I’m the same as my old man, good-hearted; I can’t stand to see evil rampant, I can’t stand to see corpses everywhere, human tragedies.”

“Really?”

“That’s of course.” Tan Wenbin took out another cigarette and threw it to Xiong Shan. “It’s all in the smoke.” Actually, Tan Wenbin wanted to make a last effort.

Xiong Shan could surrender, but his little brother Yuan would not surrender. So, the matters here still needed to be solved by them.

If Xiong Shan could change his mind, or at least raise his positivity a bit, it would be a great help to their side.

Of course, he knew that just talking would not convince people. The key was to use merit to move their hearts.

The eunuch finished sucking the incense, looking intoxicated.

Then, he pointed at Runsheng and Tan Wenbin, and then pointed forward.

Tan Wenbin: “Does this mean he wants us to go to the front to be leaders?”

The eunuch repeated the action.

But Tan Wenbin had no interest in being leaders. They would rather hide at the back of the corpse driving team, the less conspicuous the better.

However, this gave him some inspiration.

“Runsheng, light some more incense for me. I’ll have a good chat with the eunuch.”

No one was wrong, one song one sent one inside one contained one in one looked!

After extending his right hand to take the incense handed over by Runsheng, Tan Wenbin forcefully patted the back of his head three times with his left hand, patting until his brain was a bit dizzy. After patting the fourth time, he finally succeeded in walking Yin.

The original semi-transparent and silent eunuch, when viewed in the walk Yin state, actually became somewhat majestic, and his expression was also more delicate, reserved with arrogance.

“Greetings to the eunuch, there’s something I want to trouble the eunuch to arrange. After the banquet disperses later, we plan to pick up three people. Those three people must be picked up by us. Please accommodate, eunuch.”

The eunuch stood there with a face of disdain.

Tan Wenbin took out the incense, one, two, three, four!

The eunuch nodded.

Tan Wenbin ended his walk Yin, smiling very happily. Damn, he really had a breakthrough in thinking. There were miracles everywhere.

He absolutely had to tell little brother Yuan about this move, so he could include it in the ‘Zhuoyuan Secret Scroll’.

At this time, Tan Wenbin discovered that the eunuch was looking at Xiong Shan.

Binbin also turned his head to look at Xiong Shan and found that although Xiong Shan was still looking at him, there was a flow of gray and white colors in his eyes.

This guy was also walking Yin. I swear, he was secretly listening to him and the eunuch talk just now.

He only saw Xiong Shan extend his hand and say to his wife: “Li Hua, get me some incense.”

Li Hua took out a handful of incense from her bag and handed it to her husband.

But who knew, the eunuch actually backed up a few steps and completely ignored Xiong Shan, just continuing to stare at Tan Wenbin.

Tan Wenbin immediately squatted down and successively lit and inserted the four incenses into the ground.

This time, the eunuch simply lay on the ground and started sucking with a big mouth, as happy as a wriggling maggot.

Xiong Shan looked at the large handful of incense in his hand, then looked at the simple four incenses on the ground, and asked: “What kind of incense do you have?”

Earlier, when the eunuch was squatting down and sucking the incense, Xiong Shan had some doubts. When he learned that his bribe had failed, he was certain that the incense in the other party’s hand was not simple.

Old Lady Liu’s family didn’t have many people, and their life was also very simple. But the cups the old lady smashed when she was angry were all treasures in collectors’ eyes. And Aunt Liu’s ‘oral food incense’ for Runsheng could actually make ghosts push mills.

This was just the foundation. They didn’t deliberately show off, but what inadvertently flowed out from the seams of their fingernails was enough to make outsiders crazy with envy.

Xiong Shan continued: “Can I borrow two incenses? I owe you a favor.”

Tan Wenbin resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Owe a favor, owe a favor, you wholesale favors, right? Since meeting, you’ve already owed three.

“Good to say, good to say. I’ll help you accommodate the eunuch. Leave it to me.”

“Thank you very much.”

At this time, one by one white lanterns flew up, like rising fireflies, illuminating this area brightly.

A burst of Yin wind blew out from the banquet hall, mixed with scalp-numbing ghost cries and wolf howls.

Just after walking Yin again to help Xiong Shan accommodate, Tan Wenbin saw countless large red lanterns hanging high. Cheering and applause came from the banquet hall, a bustling scene.

The banquet began.

…

When the armor on the head seat gradually stood up, the temperature in the banquet hall began to drop rapidly, literally feeling like falling into an ice cellar.

Li Zhuoyuan specially looked at the child at the next table and found that the child was still sleeping soundly.

It seemed that after the matter, he had to borrow that swaddling cloth and carefully study its material.

Li Zhuoyuan opened his walk Yin.

Then, he discovered that after he walked Yin, he could still see the child.

This explained that this child… was also walking Yin.

The child’s spiritual awareness could actually be so keen.

But Li Zhuoyuan didn’t feel that this counted as a ‘divine child’. Instead, he felt sad for this child.

He should have followed his parents around the world after he was born, and been stained by those evil Qi breaths, stimulating his spiritual awareness.

This also meant that even though he was still small and couldn’t speak yet, his future path had already been determined.

He didn’t even have the ability to be an ordinary person because an ordinary person who could see ghosts at any time fundamentally couldn’t live a normal life.

Li Zhuoyuan moved his line of sight to the main platform.

That Qin family Dragon King, he wasn’t there. That was really just a sculpture.

And, Yin Meng was also not on the platform.

Instead, Li Zhuoyuan saw that general.

He was emaciated like a dry corpse. Although that set of armor was supported by him, he was fundamentally unable to continue to drive it. He was more like a white macaque hiding in an ill-fitting armor to seek solace and a sense of security.

His whole body emitted a decaying breath. He was already at the end of his time.

Compared to the one who shouted from under the peach tree at his old home wanting to be suppressed and killed, he was still full of spirit!

The opening of the Three Heavens Town Burial, he finally had a chance to turn over, but he just encountered the suppression from the Dragon King and the four families of the old Heaven Gate. In the late Qing Dynasty, he took advantage of the great chaos of heavenly mechanisms to make a last gamble, but he was again suppressed by the descendants of the old Heaven Gate four families.

The general was already like an oil lamp about to run out.

But this was what puzzled Li Zhuoyuan. The general was already at this stage, so who exactly were these existences that couldn’t be looked at directly, and who gave them this kind of power?

Things seemed to be completely different from what he originally thought.

No wonder Xiong Shan said that the last time he came down, he had the opportunity to re-seal the general.

Yes, such a general, as long as he grasped the timing well, for example, at the distance he was from him now, he could also try to seal him himself.

But the problem was that the general wasn’t the key here.

Moreover, he hadn’t seen the corpse driving Taoist from the Niu Dao Jie family that he saw in A Li’s dream appear either.

The general struggled to raise his wine cup towards the direction where Yin Meng was sitting.

Finally, Yin Meng succeeded in walking Yin again.

She appeared at the wine table with a pale face, her chest fluctuating, looking like she was being forced to do something against her will.

Li Zhuoyuan lowered his head and saw that there were indeed exquisite wine and dishes on his table. He casually picked up a cup of wine that didn’t exist in reality and played with it in his hand.

The general’s eyes revealed tenderness towards Yin Meng, waiting to raise his cup with her.

Yin Meng, with a posture more difficult than the general, under a thousand hardships, raised the wine cup in front of her and completed a virtual toast.

The general was satisfied and drank a cup of wine.

Below, from the crowd of people sitting, there was a chorus of shouts:

“Respect the Great Emperor of Fengdu!”

The wine cup in Yin Meng’s hand, before it even reached her mouth, she disappeared. She actually couldn’t maintain it for a moment longer.

Li Zhuoyuan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. If it weren’t for Yin Meng inheriting Aunt Liu’s poisonous skills, the Yin family would really be falling too far.

No matter how the Yin family ancestors were before, at least they could still have a meal at the table. Now, even being at the table was so reluctant.

The general was not angry. Instead, he seemed to be smiling, and there was a look of recollection in his eyes.

A maid poured wine next to him. The general raised his wine cup again and toasted towards another side, towards the sculpture.

There was no trace of hatred in the general’s eyes, only appreciation and recognition.

Yin Meng being able to sit in that position was purely based on Yin Changsheng’s face. In fact, on this main platform, the only one who could sit equally with the general was the Qin family Dragon King.

Because, this was the man who had once defeated him.

Below, there was a louder chorus of shouts than before:

“Respect the Qin family Dragon King!”

Li Zhuoyuan had been watching this scene very quietly, but just as the general toasted the sculpture, he discovered that the general’s green, pea-like pupils suddenly glanced, seemingly bypassing the sculpture, and looking towards him, who was sitting just below the sculpture.

The general saw him.

The general continued to maintain the posture of raising his cup. His slender arm was trembling.

Li Zhuoyuan raised the wine cup on his table case and toasted the general.

So be it. At this moment, the young man’s heart was not filled with panic.

He brought the wine cup to his front and took a sip.

Because he knew it was an empty product, not a strange substitute handed up by the maids and eunuchs, so drinking a mouthful was fine.

The wine taste was not strong but had a fragrant breath. It quickly dissipated after entering the throat and disappeared.

Li Zhuoyuan put down the wine cup.

The general also withdrew his gaze. He looked at the noisy crowd below. From his body, he could perceive a sense of tiredness, but he soon forcefully cheered up, raised his wine cup again, and toasted all around:

Below, there were two waves of shouts. The first sound was the loudest:

“Respect the Niu Dao Jie family, sacrificing themselves for righteousness, sacrificing their family bloodline to suppress evil, protect our living beings, and guard our righteous path!”

The second sound was much quieter, and the number of people seemed to be only a quarter of the first sound.

“Respect the four families of Heaven Gate, working together, eliminating demons and guarding the path, protecting our hometown, and returning in peace!”

Even though the ‘evil’ and ‘demon’ they shouted were the general himself, the general still raised his cup with them and drank this cup of wine.

So, these people sitting here were all the ancestors of the four families of the old Heaven Gate who had once died fighting with the Qin family Dragon King to suppress the general.

But, what was this inexplicable harmonious atmosphere about?

Turning swords into silk?

Or were past opponents now mutually recognizing, even cherishing each other?

This didn’t seem like an act because the general’s Qi machine couldn’t be covered up, and he didn’t need to put on this show specifically for himself.

But the problem also followed: if you all really want to let go, even the great demon head himself is relieved and waiting for his final demise, then who exactly is the villain?

His fourth wave was him taking the initiative to step over.

But Xiong Shan and the others, who might have been here early, what were they busy with here?

Or, what was the true guidance of the river water to Xiong Shan?

Suddenly, the banquet hall door was pushed open.

The general looked towards the door, and complex emotions flowed in his eyes.

Li Zhuoyuan couldn’t turn his head to look because there was a large group of people behind him who he couldn’t look at directly. He could only wait for the person to walk onto the main platform so he could see who it was.

Soon, Li Zhuoyuan saw him.

It was a man, about the same age as the Wang family girl from the antique street. However, that Wang family girl should have already been buried in the sea of ghost eye fire.

This man was about thirty years old. After he got on the platform, he walked straight to the general.

The two men looked at each other.

Even a dead tiger still has its prestige, let alone a general who hasn’t thoroughly perished. But he still avoided looking at the man, like a kind of compromise, or a kind of helplessness.

A smile appeared at the corner of the man’s mouth. He turned around and faced the people below.

At this moment, Li Zhuoyuan discovered that the man’s eyes were blind.

It wasn’t the kind of natural blindness. Looking at the wounds near his eye sockets, it was more like he had forcefully dug out his own eyeballs.

Without eyes, he couldn’t see, so he could face so many ‘cannot be looked at directly’ people below in a grand manner.

The man shouted:

“All you predecessors, do you still remember the oath made by the four families of Heaven Gate before suppressing the general here?”

Below, there was a chorus of shouts: “The four families of Heaven Gate, life and death together, suppress evil!”

The man shouted again: “Do you still remember the oath made by all of you when my ancestor grandpa used the blood relatives of my Niu Dao Jie family as sacrifices to enter the palace and seal the general?”

“My Wang family swears that we will coexist with the Niu Dao Jie family and never betray them!”

“My Bu family swears that we will go through wind and rain with the Niu Dao Jie family and hold hands!”

“My Yan family Xie swears that we will not be separated from the Niu Dao Jie family and will live and die together!”

The man opened his arms and shouted: “For a hundred years, the Wang family, the Bu family, and the Yan family Xie, these three families have suppressed my Niu Dao Jie family, killed my clansmen, seized my inheritance, and intended to merge, consuming my entire household.

All of you,

What should be done?”

The man raised a command flag and pointed upwards.

Below,

A chorus of angry roars:

“Should exterminate the clan! Should exterminate the clan! Should exterminate the clan!”

A black vortex rose above the banquet hall.

At this moment, Li Zhuoyuan finally understood why each corpse driving team had a person whose feet didn’t touch the ground; and he finally knew why all these predecessors of the Heaven Gate four families in the field couldn’t be looked at directly.

Because, they were all curses!

Their power didn’t come from the general. They would turn into part of the curse themselves.

They were both part of the curse. Through them, one could glimpse the full curse.

And for some unknown reason, these curses were always accumulating. The sky was so big, but they only trickled out. The absolute majority were being held back here with great effort.

Such a huge curse technique, who could look at it directly?

Looking at it would be devoured!

So, the Wang family, the Bu family, and the Yan family Xie in the current reality world were all suffering from curses.

And the ones cursing them were,

Exactly the ancestors of their three families who died here fighting to suppress the general.
