Chapter 5: Don't Run Away from the Big Fish

  Thank you for the reward from good-looking book friends... The book has been uploaded for more than a month, and there are only so many words, but it's going to be on the shelves soon. In the midst of bleeding... It will be on the shelves next week...

  Until the horse pulling the carriage was stimulated by the fresh blood, it let out a loud neigh. Only then did the Zhan family's ancestors and descendants come to their senses, panicked and flustered, and were about to turn around and flee.

  "Don't let them get away!" someone shouted loudly. At a glance, it was clear that they were big fish.

  Weng Ming's two listeners became even more flustered, hastily turning their heads around. However, this was a traditional carriage, without that kind of steering device. The horses had to make a big circle before they could turn their heads around.

  In the midst of panic, where can one turn around? Zhan Zhen panicked and saw the vicious-looking villagers rushing over. She hastily jumped off the carriage and turned to flee.

  Wan Ming stared with his eyes wide and mouth agape, he never thought that this grandson would actually abandon even his own grandfather to escape.

  Also saw Yuan Zhen jump into the paddy field, trampling on seedlings to escape. For a time, he trampled countless seedlings, and the villagers were filled with hatred, more than a dozen sharp arrows shot over, inserted into his back. He fell to the ground, and fresh blood instantly stained a large area of the paddy field red.

  "There is also an old..."

  Ruan Ming was pulled down from the carriage by Wang Xiong, who grabbed his collar and slapped him in the face without any courtesy. Ruan Ming was already fifty or sixty years old and had been living a life of luxury.

  One punch landed, and a stream of blood flowed from his nose, two teeth were knocked out...

  As those gate-crashing guests fled, the lucky ones returned to the city before nightfall. The unlucky ones, however, waited until after dark, when all sorts of ghosts and monsters appeared, leaving them with no choice but to meet their demise.

  Na Yanjing stumbled out of the paddy field, seeing that all around was pitch black, with night falling on all sides. Fear arose in her heart, for there were countless dangers lurking at night, especially in such a desolate and remote area, which everyone knew.

  He didn't even have time to feel relieved that he had narrowly escaped death, and scrambled to his feet, stumbling forward in a frantic dash.

  Faintly visible in front of me was a bright light, and I was overjoyed. I walked towards the direction of that light.

  Suddenly heard someone calling: "A Zhen..."

  At a glance, it was actually his own deceased grandfather. Thinking that he had been too scared during the day and had abandoned his own great-grandfather to escape on his own, he felt somewhat ashamed. Then thinking of his great-grandfather, who had also escaped with his life, brought another wave of joy.

  But as he got closer, he saw that his usually stern grandfather was now in a pitiful state, with an old face swollen like a pig's head, and what seemed to be a huge wound on his forehead, with fresh blood flowing out, covering his entire body and face.

  A bad and fearful feeling arose in Zhen's heart, thinking that with such severe injuries, brain matter visible, how could he still be alive?

  In her heart, she was terrified, wondering if she had encountered a ghost. She wanted to run away. But then, the opposite Xuan Ming also shouted in surprise: "A Zhen, are you human or ghost? Why are there so many arrows stuck on your body?"

  Reminded by this, Fan Jing finally felt an unbearable severe pain coming from his back. He struggled to turn his head and indeed saw the arrow shaft with feathers inserted in his back.

  "Ah..."

  Then Zhen Cai suddenly found himself surrounded by a faint mist, and for a moment his heart was broken. Had he actually died and become a ghost?

  A gust of night wind blew in, and the misty figure swayed. In the end, it drifted away with the night wind.

  "Ah Jing!" Wan Ming exclaimed in surprise.

  But then a fierce and sinister laugh was heard: "What a good little rabbit, lucky for you, you scared yourself to death. Saved me a lot of trouble!"

  "Is it you, Fan Fang?" Ming Fan cried out.

  The newcomer was naturally Gui Bing Fan, under Liu Yi's command. He sneered with a fierce grin: "Old bones, you didn't expect this, did you? Today, you've fallen into my hands! In the past, when you were the clan leader and elder, you favored your own family members. You lived in luxury and were worshiped after death. Today, I'll make you repay me for all of it!"

  With a ferocious smile, he thrust his steel fork into Ruan Ming's shoulder and then dragged him away.

  Before his death, Ming was the head of the family and later became an elder. He was the eldest son of the main branch of the family, occupying most of the family's resources. He had always been used to being pampered and had never experienced such hardships before, but he was still dragged away like a dead pig, towards the spiritual realm.

  Seeing this scene, Mu Yao quietly approached Liu Yi's ear and said in a spoiled tone: "I don't like Ruan Fang, I feel... somehow not good!"

  Liu Yixin said, I also don't like Ruan Fang this ghost thing. But these words can't be said, the sea accepts all rivers, and has a capacity to be great. Ruan Fang at least is loyal to himself, and cruel to his own enemies, which is not wrong. As a superior, one can only reward his loyalty.

  In military strategy, one should not mobilize troops based on emotions. In fact, the same principle applies to employing people - one should not hire or fire based on personal likes and dislikes.

  Bian Cou leaned in close to Murong Yu's ear and whispered: "Let me try your Moon Devouring Pearl, okay?"

  "The Moonlit Pearl doesn't have any flavor..." Mu Yao asked in puzzlement, but before she could finish her sentence, she turned around and became a bit sweetly shy. Seeing that there was no one around, nor any ghosts, she obediently leaned in with her mouth.

  Liu Yi originally just joked about it, only to divert the topic. Didn't expect Mu Yao to be so bold, couldn't help but laugh.

  Her small face was flushed, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was obviously very nervous, with her eyelashes trembling constantly. Her light pink lips were slightly raised, as delicate and soft as cherry blossoms, and couldn't help but feel a sudden flutter in his heart. He couldn't help but cover her over heavily.

  Nan Fang grabbed Nan Ming, the head of the Nan family, and thought he had achieved a great feat. He came to report his achievement to Liu Yi with a proud smile. From afar, Liu Yi saw this scene and took in a breath of cold air, shrunk his shoulders, and quietly retreated.

  Disturbing the master's good deeds, the master is generous and doesn't mind. But if you provoke Mu Yao to shame, making the master unsatisfied and venting his anger on him, that would be a big deal.

  With such caution and retreat far away, it seems that something has been discovered in the darkness. He couldn't help but shout: "Who is hiding? Come out!"

  However, a black figure cautiously walked out and was seen by Luan Fang, who was overjoyed and sneered: "It's you, Luan Ping! This time, it's a big fat meat!"

  "Whoosh..."

  Lian Ping, the former Shengu, knelt on the ground: "Spare my life, spare my life. It has nothing to do with me, I've already told my family not to be enemies with the Shengjun... it's all because of Lian Ming that old good-for-nothing who wouldn't listen..."

  Liu Yi's voice came over faintly: "Last time I let you off once, but this time there won't be such a good opportunity again!"

  As he spoke, the mark on Pan Ping's forehead, which was branded by the Earth God, suddenly burst into flames. In an instant, it engulfed the former village god and reduced him to ashes. Not a single trace of his soul remained.

  "Huh?"

  Liu Yi was shocked to discover that after burning the ghostly object, strands of light emerged and floated over.
