Chapter Twenty: Death Energy

  As a loud voice rang out, a stout and short man in his thirties, dressed in silk and satin, with a plump face, walked in. The fat man was followed by two servants who were flattering him, swaggering and strutting to the front of Xi Wen.

  "Do they dare buy you out?" The fat man said loudly with his big belly sticking out.

  "This Shen Pangzi is still relying on his ancestors' reputation, and it's only a matter of time before he ruins the Shen family!"

  "It's all because his father died early and left behind a large fortune. His mother can't control him, the Shen family is really going to decline."

  "You still don't know how to restrain yourself, sooner or later you'll bring trouble upon yourself!"

  Everyone saw Shen's arrogant appearance and couldn't help but discuss it, some young men almost couldn't bear to rush out and beat him up! It was just that the friends beside him were holding him back, plus considering the great power of the Shen family, otherwise Shen Hai would probably not have the ability to stand here boasting.

  "Hey little girl, come with me!" Shen Hai spat out a wad of saliva, his face puffed up with a chunk of fat, and grinned slyly. The two attendants beside him were also helping to tease Xian Yun, baring their teeth in laughter.

  Just as they were saying that, they were about to drag out Xi Wen. Many people who couldn't bear to watch had already left. If it weren't for the fact that Shen Hai and the county magistrate were related, if it weren't for Shen Hai's powerful influence, there would be many things that ordinary people couldn't do! An ordinary citizen could fight against these rich merchants and officials?

  "Hey, that dead fat guy over there! What's he doing? Looking at what, yeah it's you!" Pan Hao said in a strange tone.

  Shen Dapang was taken aback, "Who's calling me 'Fatty'?! I hate it when people call me that!" Shen Dapang felt annoyed and looked up to see who was staring at him. Shen Hai looked around in confusion, but eventually confirmed that the little brat opposite him was indeed calling out to him!

  Rustle...

  A surge of anger burst out from the bottom of my heart, damn it! Even those guys who have been rivals with me for years don't dare to call me "fatso" to my face, is this kid looking for death?!

  The two attendants beside him knew that someone was in trouble as soon as they heard someone call him "Fatty". In front of Shen Dabao, they really didn't dare mention the word "fatty" at all.

  I remember two years ago, a servant was scolding Zhang the butcher on the street for being a dead fat man. Shen Hai happened to hear it and when he returned home, that servant was brutally crippled and thrown out of the Shen Manor.

  From then on, the servants in the Shen Mansion had to be extremely careful even when talking in their sleep, fearing that they would mention the word "Fatty" and be overheard and reported. In the end, they would suffer the same fate as that crippled good-for-nothing and be beaten until they were crippled and thrown out of the Shen Mansion!

  "You stinky little brat, you're asking for death!" Shen Da Baozi's anger was burning, his face iron-green as he vowed to tear Pan Haosheng apart.

  Rumble...

  Everyone was shocked, and many people in the city of Qu County knew about Shen Dahu's taboos. As for calling Shen Hai "Fatty" to his face, that was a rare sight indeed. Now it seemed there would be a good show to watch.

  It wasn't until he saw Pan Hao standing alone, young and powerless, with the appearance of a bookish scholar that his curiosity subsided. He thought to himself, "He's probably just a young and arrogant master, sigh! He doesn't know the height of heaven or the thickness of earth!"

  "This young man is not bad, but he also doesn't weigh the strength of both sides!"

  "Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now!"

  ……

  "Looking at this young man's appearance, I reckon Shen Da Baozi is going to have a hard time!"

  "That is, I heard Shen Hai dislikes men who are too handsome!"

  Everyone here was discussing and speculating, but Shen Pangzi didn't have time to care about what these ordinary people were thinking. Now he only knew that he had to severely punish the little brat in front of him!

  "Get this little brat for me, I'm going to beat him to death!" Shen Da Baozi said fiercely.

  "It's the old master!" The two attendants immediately pounced on him, like ferocious tigers, and these two attendants were agile and quick to act, obviously having some rough martial arts skills, which could still be a stable win against ordinary people, but facing Pan Hao was a difference of unknown magnitude.

  Pan Hao faced the attack of two attendants, his right hand secretly shot out two finger guns, a small amount of divine power flowed. The vigor burst forth, and with a "peng" sound, the two who had just been in a fierce killing posture suddenly felt a pain in their abdomen, their body numbed, and they fell to the ground!

  The onlookers around were also stunned, and these two guys inexplicably fell down at the same time. Could it be that some unclean thing has come back to take revenge? The crowd suspected, and suddenly felt a chill from the tailbone all over their bodies, with goosebumps rising.

  Now at noon, a large patch of dark clouds blocked the sun, casting shadows over everyone. In an instant, the atmosphere became somewhat eerie.

  Shen Dabao saw such a strange thing, his heart was also in a state of unease and anxiety. Over the years, Shen Dabao had done many wicked things and had a lot of guilty conscience, and there was one right in front of him. Wait! Could it be that Xianyun's dead father was not willing to give up and came back for revenge?! Shen Baozi's eyes were wide with fear as he stared at the pale-faced Xianyun kneeling on the mat.

  Shen Baozi felt more and more convinced that he was right, his stout body slightly trembling. He felt his footsteps were heavy, as if filled with lead. Shen Baozi forced a smile that could not be distinguished from crying, and trembled as he said to Pan Hao: "I... I'm not feeling well today, kid, you wait!"

  Shen Dabaozi dropped a ruthless remark and stumbled out.

  "Little sister, I've bought you!" Pan Hao bent down, stretched out his right hand and smiled slightly at Xiwen. The little girl lifted her head, looked at Pan Hao, nodded lightly and placed her hand in Pan Hao's hand.

  ……

  "What just happened?"

  "Could it be that Shen Pangzi has been troubled by too many things on his mind!"

  Everyone saw Shen Pangzi fleeing for his life, and the discussion became even more intense. In the face of what had just happened, various versions of speculation emerged, and all sorts of bizarre rumors arose. Some said it was a vengeful spirit seeking revenge, some said Shen Pangzi's two attendants had suddenly fallen ill, and others said that the City God couldn't bear to watch and wanted to teach Shen Hai a lesson. In an instant, Jinshui County became lively.

  ……

  Xiwen walked quickly in the front, while Pan Hao and several villagers dressed in simple clothes followed closely behind. The villagers were actually hired by Pan Hao with silver to replace Xiwen's father for burial, and finally they came to a broken temple!

  Xiwen's father was wrapped in a broken mat, his body stiff! He had been dead for some time. Pan Hao's divine sense flowed through his eyes and saw that Xiwen's father's corpse was shrouded in a faint black aura, which was the death energy of the corpse, a breath that only appeared on the bodies of the dead.

  Pan Hao slowly stopped the circulation of his divine power and called out to several villagers to lift the body out. After finding a place in the tenth mile of Qing Shui County, this land was clear and beautiful, with a good feng shui layout. Pan Hao didn't understand it, but in the eyes of his divine power circulation, he could see that there was a place in the valley where the spiritual energy gathered and did not disperse, and there was a noble aura rising from it, which was an extremely good burial site.

  Pan Hao led them to stop!
