Carrying the little boy, Dashan nearly dashed out of the village entrance when suddenly, just as he lifted his foot, his forehead slamd into an invisible wall!
Because of the great montum, Dashan and the little boy both collided with the invisible wall and then fell, one after the other, sitting on the ground.
"Brother, Brother Three, the sky... the sky is falling!"
Sitting atop Dashan, the little boy pointed upward, and as Dashan looked up, he was instantly horrified. The dark night sky above was actually collapsing, pressing down vertically!
At the sa ti, as the black night sky crumbled down, everyone in Qingfeng Village crouched, clutching their heads, with most of them desperately closing their eyes.
But many felt only a montary darkness before their eyes, and then nothing happened.
The night in the mountains remained cold, with the night wind cutting like sharp ice blades across one’s skin, bringing a chilling and unsettling sensation as if they were lightly grazing the skin.
There were also those who looked up at the night sky, finding the stars still shining bright, yet for so reason, they felt as if sothing had been dug out from within their hearts after that brief darkness.
"Ah!!!"
An extrely piercing wail suddenly tore through the night!
Then, screams of agony arose from all corners of Qingfeng Village, the seemingly serene mountain village suddenly becoming a purgatory.
"Ah! Ah, don’t hit , please don’t hit !"
The little boy who had been sitting beside Dashan suddenly rolled into a ball on the ground, ceaselessly screaming and begging for rcy. Yet, in Dashan’s eyes, there was nothing there at all; the boy was simply rolling on the ground by himself.
"Seventeen, what are you doing? We need to leave quickly and tell the elders in our family about this."
Dashan reached out to grab the boy, but as he extended his hand, he was horrified to find that his whole hand had turned as black as ink!
"My hand..."
Dashan then raised his left hand and discovered it had turned just as black!
"How can this be! I can’t die, I still have my whole life ahead of , I am the legitimate heir of the Pú Family, I cannot die!"
At this mont, Dashan no longer cared about the little boy writhing on the ground; he quickly turned and stood up, walking towards the village entrance.
"I cannot die in..." Dashan’s right foot had just stepped forward when he suddenly felt his body go limp, and then he fell to the ground. He twisted his head to look at his right leg, his eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets!
"My leg, my leg!"
Under Dashan’s gaze, his right foot turned black just like his hands, and before his eyes, it liquefied into a black liquid!
And as the black liquid dripped onto the ground, it quickly evaporated into a black gas that drifted up into the sky.
"Resentful curse... Resentful curse, I, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!"
Dashan turned and desperately scrambled towards the village entrance.
"I’m almost there, I’m about to get out!"
But Dashan had barely crawled a bit when his hands, like his feet, also turned into black wastewater!
Without hands or feet, Dashan lay prostrate on the ground, staring blankly ahead. And in his line of sight, a tall figure slowly erged...
You watched Dashan and the little boy who was ceaselessly rolling on the ground, your eyes devoid of any pity, simply watching them indifferently.
"All of this... was your doing?" Dashan was barely breathing, his eyes lifeless as he looked at you, and at this mont, he lacked even the strength to be angry.
"Ever heard of divine retribution?" You said it with a faint smile, looking down at him, "Since I was young, my mother always reminded to act according to my conscience. Because while people act, the heavens watch."
"Divine... retribution..."
Before he could finish, what was left of Dashan quickly turned into a pool of black water, and then it transford into a resentful curse that drifted towards the sky.
Looking at the little boy, he had stopped rolling around by now, but was covered in wounds. So of these injuries were from the rough ground as he rolled and others looked as though he’d been whipped with sothing - they closely resembled... willow branches!
Very soon, a middle-aged woman ca running out of an alley, scooped up the unconscious boy, gave you a terrified glance, and rushed towards the entrance of the village.
When you returned to the tent, Wu Qiyi was telling stories to Little Qinniang, who sat quietly in Xi Yu’s arms, listening attentively.
Hearing the footsteps, the three won turned to look at you, and you smiled at them and gave a small wave...
"Is everything resolved?"
"Yes."
Nodding your head, you sat down beside the fire just like them and said, "The formation at Qingfeng Village has been broken, and those people have received the punishnt they deserved."
"The punishnt they deserved?" Xi Yu said with a cold smile, "This matter is far from over."
You raised an eyebrow and asked Xi Yu, "What kind of family is the Pú Family?"
"The Pú Family? The Eastern Sea Pújiā?" Xi Yu finally showed a hint of comprehension, but her delicate features beca even sharper, and her eyes revealed a fierce determination, "I should have thought of it sooner. Only those beasts would commit such acts that defy the heavens."
"Are they very powerful?"
Wu Qiyi smiled slightly and said, "Not particularly powerful, just a bunch of craven, opportunistic scum. After this incident, I will certainly settle accounts with them."
"No!" Your own expression grew more serious, "Don’t rush into anything. If the Pú Family dared to harm you, they must have so backup plans. This formation must have been maintained for at least a hundred years; the Pú Family’s true strength is definitely deeper than it appears."
Xi Yu looked at you, her voice grave, "Master Li, you need not worry yourself too much with this matter. Leave it all to . I absolutely will not allow any person or power that could threaten the Miss’s safety to exist!"
Seeing Xi Yu’s expression, you nodded. The true strength of the Luanfeng Pavilion was probably known only to Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu themselves.
The next morning, you deliberately made a trip to Blackwater Village. You didn’t explain much to them, just stated that the curse had been lifted and advised them to relocate from the area as soon as possible.
As for the relocation details, Xi Yu had already spoken with the leaders of the towns outside while on the way to Blackwater Village, using her connections. After all, for them, this was an opportunity that benefited everyone. The town leaders rely took a brief mont to recall, then promptly made a directive and planned a new rural area for the villagers of Blackwater Village.
By the ti you four arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was already noon.
Little Qinniang in your arms stared with curiosity at the car as Xi Yu opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.
"Has Little Yan never seen this before?" you asked when Little Qinniang shook her head. "Hasn’t Little Yan ever been down the mountain with her mother?"
"Mother wouldn’t allow it. She said that all the people down the mountain are bad."
Wu Qiyi smiled as she stroked Little Qinniang’s head, "Little Yan is a good girl. Once we’re down the mountain, you’ll et many brothers and sisters."
"Mm."
Little Qinniang nodded obediently and turned her head toward the direction of Qingfeng Village, a tear streaming down her eyes.
"Mama, brother, and elder sister, all of you have been so kind to ... I hope you are doing well in heaven..."
