Chapter 643: Conflicting Options
The Liu family is currently holding an ancestral worship ceremony. If you go over now and say that your ancestor is about to rise from the dead, you'll probably be cursed to your face for eighteen generations. It's better to wait until they leave.
In addition, the second phase of the system's mission indirectly revealed a clue that corroborated my inner thoughts: the Jia clan did not disappear into the long river of history, but simply went into hibernation, or even became ordinary people. The Liu family is of Jia clan blood, but this ancestor has been revived for some reason.
The Liu family's ancestral worship ceremony was very grand, lasting for most of the day before it ended.
After they left, Chen Futu did not destroy the corpse, but instead used his righteous energy to dispel the black aura on the corpse.
In this way, no accidents will happen.
Lian Ni Chang said, "Why not destroy the corpse?"
"No, that's too underhanded."
Chen Futu wouldn't do something as heinous as to grind someone's ancestor to dust.
Ding!
[Host detected to have completed the second stage, having slain the Liu family patriarch; reward: cultivation level increased to early Great Saint stage]
"This is the Great Sage."
Chen Futu clenched his fist, and several terrifying sacred laws swirled between his fingers.
This combat power is many times stronger than that of a Saint King. No wonder the Great Sage beat the Saint King like a son. This is the transformation and compression of the Saintly Law. When one reaches the Ancient Saint level, the Saintly Law will no longer transform into the Saintly Domain, and the combat power will cross another watershed.
Having resolved the trouble with the Liu family patriarch, Chen Futu returned to his luxurious mansion with a clear conscience, and the goods were transported away.
Liu Shenmiao arranged for several beautiful maids to serve him, while Chen Futu lay leisurely in a rocking chair.
I thought the matter was over and I was just waiting for Huahua to arrive, but then another unexpected thing happened.
In just one night, news came from the Liu family that the head of the Liu family had died, and his condition after death was extremely gruesome, as if he had been scared to death.
Chen Futu was taken aback upon hearing the news. "What the hell? Wasn't the dark aura on the Liu family patriarch dispelled?"
The maid said, "Some of the servants in the house said that they saw the old master rush into the master's room last night. The old master was terrifying; his face was covered in black soot."
"What a hell!"
Chen Futu and Lian Nishang first went to the Liu family's cemetery, where they found a large crowd gathered. The old man's grave had been blown up at some point, and his body had disappeared.
Lian Ni Chang scanned the surrounding mountains and rivers, but did not find any trace of the old man.
"Isn't this Uncle Nine's movie?" Chen Futu muttered to the system, "What do you mean? I clearly dispelled the black mist, so why did the people still come out of the grave?"
[Please don't wrongly accuse the system; it wasn't the system that did this.]
"You clearly said you completed the mission, but then people ran out in the middle of the night. You're telling me you didn't do it?"
Although the host dispelled the black mist, the source of the chaos was not eradicated. The black energy has grown again and taken control of the Liu family patriarch.
"Is this how you play it? So you have to grind them to ashes?"
Chen Futu cursed and scrutinized the tomb carefully with his eyes. Good heavens, he finally saw that the ground beneath the coffin had cracked open, and the aura of the earth's curse was wafting from below.
"There are ley lines beneath Fufeng City..."
Chen Futu looked solemn, and then he and Lian Nishang went to visit the Xu family, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Liu family head, but were refused entry.
The servant replied, "My young lady has given orders not to receive guests. Please leave."
Tell your young lady that my surname is Qin.
"I'm sorry, Miss specifically instructed that Mr. Qin should not be seen."
The servants blocked the door, preventing them from entering.
Chen Futu frowned, his gaze sweeping across the pavilions and towers until he reached the mourning hall. In the vast mourning hall, only Liu Shenmiao was kneeling in front of the coffin. The death of the Liu family patriarch inside the coffin was indeed terrifying. His eyes were wide open, his mouth was agape, and black mist swirled around his seven orifices. He could vaguely see a hideous, withered, and hairy face in his dead fish eyes. It was none other than the old ancestor of the Liu family.
"Tch, this is really troublesome."
Chen Futu thought that at worst he could at least stop the Jia clan's resurgence, but at this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire Fufeng City fell.
After carefully observing Liu Shenmiao, Lian Nishang said, "Master, Miss Liu's temperament is a bit strange."
"Let me see."
Chen Futu carefully scanned the scene. Liu Shenmiao was kneeling in the mourning hall, but instead of crying, she was laughing, seemingly somewhat excited.
"Let's go in and see her."
Chen Futu and Lian Nishang no longer asked anyone to announce their arrival; they teleported directly to the mourning hall.
Liu Shenmiao turned her face, her expression indifferent, showing no trace of sorrow, and her tone was slightly cold, "Aren't you two being too rude?"
"It is fate that we meet. I was worried about Miss Liu's safety, so I came to see you." Chen Futu took a sip of wine and looked at the person in the coffin. "Miss Liu, don't you think there is something suspicious about your father's death?"
"Even if there is something amiss, it is a matter for my Liu family and has nothing to do with you. Mr. Qin, please leave. Of course, I am deeply grateful for Mr. Qin's life-saving grace and will repay him in the future."
"No need. I have a question I'd like to ask Miss Liu. Do you know anything about the Jia clan?"
Chen Futu bluntly stated his position, and Liu Shenmiao's face showed a hint of unease. He then shook his head and said, "I don't know what clan A or clan B is. If Mr. Qin has nothing else to say, please leave. My home is not suitable for receiving guests today."
Liu Shenmiao coldly dismissed him.
Chen Futu gave Lian Nishang a look, and the latter waved her hand, causing the coffin lid to fly off and crash to the ground, revealing the Liu family head's unseeing face.
Liu Shenmiao was furious at the sight of her father's death. She clenched her fists and scolded, "Mr. Qin, I am grateful for your kindness, but please don't go too far. Why did you disturb my father's peace!"
"An Ning? Does he look like An Ning to you?"
"I said this has nothing to do with you, please leave!"
Liu Shenmiao took a sword from the wall and pointed the blade at the two of them.
Chen Futu was speechless. This woman seemed to know something, which was why she wanted the Jia Clan to be revived and refused to let unrelated people reveal all this.
Lian Ni Chang stepped forward with a cold laugh, intending to kill Liu Shen Miao.
Ding!
[Liu Shenmiao, a key figure in the Jia clan, has been detected. Please make a choice, host.]
[1. Choose to kill, and the reward will be the evolution of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow into a Quasi-Emperor Weapon, possessing the rules of the Emperor's Sword]
[2. Choosing to let it go will reward you with 50 points of favorability with Clan A]
[3. Choosing to ask others to take action and remain uninvolved will reward the host with a protector whose cultivation level is Quasi-Emperor Level 6]
Ding!
[The anecdote has entered its third stage. Host, please kill Liu Shenmiao.]
"System, are you toxic?"
Please refrain from verbally abusing the system.
"Listen to what you said! You gave me three choices, but you still want me to kill Liu Shenmiao in the rumors? You might as well go to heaven!"
[You can choose to abandon the interim tasks in the anecdotes, but you cannot skip the main storyline. Please make your choice as soon as possible.]
"Give me some recommendations, how should I choose?"
