Chapter 140 The Tragedy of the Han Family Mansion
Chapter 140 The Tragedy of the Han Family Mansion
With a tap of the fingertip, one is instantly transported to the exciting world of Chapter 140, the Han Family Massacre.
Without further delay, Wang Tiezhu unleashed his spiritual power, summoned his flying sword, and headed straight for Hansong Gate.
However, the moment he left, a barely perceptible red light emanated from behind him and silently entered Han Xiaomei, who was about to comfort her son.
After Wang Tiezhu's figure had completely disappeared, Han Xiaomei in the courtyard suddenly stiffened.
She slowly lowered her head, a strange red light flashing in her eyes, her lips parting into an eerie smile, and she uttered a low, hoarse voice:
"Hehehe..."
"Chen Xu... let me first devour the entire Han family's flesh and blood... to replenish my strength... before I go to find you..."
"Mother? Why do you smell so bad too..." Han Li, who was standing behind her, seemed to have noticed something. His body trembled violently and his face turned pale.
Han Xiaomei slowly turned around, her gaze fixed on Han Li. She couldn't help but lick her now-blackened lips, her voice wicked:
"Hehehe... A mutated lightning spirit root... You must taste delicious..."
……
Inside the Cold Pine Gate, inside the Chenxu Cave.
After listening to Wang Tiezhu's description, a look of seriousness flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
He then took Wang Tiezhu directly to Wen Tianhe.
However, along the way, the irritability that had been lingering in Wang Tiezhu's heart receded like the tide, and he felt much more relaxed.
A hint of hesitation appeared on his face as he tentatively said, "Junior Brother Chen... I feel like I'm all better now."
"Could it be due to the mental and physical exhaustion from the battle a few days ago, coupled with insufficient rest? Perhaps... we shouldn't trouble the sect leader?"
Chen Xu frowned, his body still moving, his tone carrying an undeniable seriousness:
"This matter concerns evil spirits; how can we treat it lightly? It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't."
"If it's just a false alarm, you'll be unharmed. But if there's a real hidden danger, even if it seems to have subsided now, who knows if it's not a sign that evil spirits are lurking and dormant? You can't be careless!"
Seeing that his attitude was firm and his words made sense, Wang Tiezhu had no choice but to suppress his glimmer of hope and say no more.
A moment later, two figures landed inside the main hall.
"Disciple Chen Xu greets Master."
"Disciple Wang Tiezhu greets Sect Master."
Wen Tianhe glanced indifferently at the two of them: "What is it?"
Chen Xu turned slightly to the side, signaling Wang Tiezhu to speak.
Wang Tiezhu took a deep breath and recounted in detail the unusual things he had felt at the Han residence, expressing his concern that he might be cursed by evil spirits.
Upon hearing this, Wen Tianhe's gaze became more serious.
He used his divine sense to examine Wang Tiezhu, but found nothing unusual.
Wen Tianhe flicked his finger again, and a cyan-yellow spiritual light entered Wang Tiezhu's body for a thorough examination.
A moment later, Wen Tianhe withdrew the spiritual light, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly before relaxing and slowly shaking his head:
"In my view, there is no sign of evil influence or residual curse."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiezhu finally felt relieved, let out a long sigh of relief, and quickly bowed again.
"Thank you, Sect Master! This disciple is humbled and has disturbed your cultivation..."
His doubts completely vanished, and he realized he had only scared himself.
However, just as he finished speaking, a dull thud suddenly rang out.
The entire main hall trembled slightly.
The expressions of the three people inside the hall changed drastically. Wen Tianhe's figure flickered and he appeared outside the hall, looking toward the source of the tremor.
Chen Xu and Wang Tiezhu followed closely behind and rushed out of the main hall.
In the distance, in the direction of the Han family mansion, a scarlet curtain was expanding rapidly at a visible speed.
The moment Wang Tiezhu saw the direction from which the scarlet light screen rose, his face turned deathly pale.
"Xiao Mei! Li'er!!!" A roar suddenly burst from his throat.
He didn't even bother to say goodbye to Wen Tianhe and Chen Xu, and instead summoned his flying sword and sped off towards the Han residence.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xu's gaze became somewhat complicated.
"Master." Chen Xu's voice trembled slightly.
"I have a close relationship with Wang Tiezhu. This matter is probably related to the evil spirit from before. I will go and take a look."
Wen Tianhe stood with his hands behind his back in front of the hall, his gaze also fixed on the direction of the Han residence.
Hearing Chen Xu's words, he did not turn around, but simply nodded slightly.
Without further delay, Chen Xu mounted his spirit sword and gave chase.
Wen Tianhe stood there for a long time, a hint of struggle and exhaustion flashing in his eyes.
Finally, he sighed, and a grotesque black token appeared in his hand.
The token is engraved with a lifelike head of a fierce ghost, its fangs bared.
He then applied force with his fingertips, and the token shattered with a crack.
……
Han Mansion.
A crimson light curtain enveloped the entire mansion completely.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, almost suffocating.
The once-prosperous courtyards and pavilions are now like a slaughterhouse in hell.
The scattered corpses of servants, guards, and members of the Han family were twisted and deformed, their flesh and blood withered, as if something had instantly drained all their life force and essence.
Their faces were frozen in the extreme fear of their final moments before death, their eyes bulging, their mouths wide open, silently accusing the terror that had befallen them.
Wang Tiezhu's figure stood frozen in front of the Lotus Breeze Pavilion.
His wife, Han Xiaomei, lay quietly in the rocking chair.
But that beautiful face is long gone.
Her body was also shriveled, with her skin clinging tightly to her bones.
What's most chilling is her expression.
His lips parted into an exaggerated arc, forming a smile full of malice and mockery.
At her feet, a small figure was curled up on the ground.
Han Li's clothes were relatively intact, but his body was emaciated and lifeless.
Wang Tiezhu let out a wail, his body swayed, his knees buckled, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.
He reached out his trembling hand and embraced the remains of Han Xiaomei and Han Li.
Chen Xu stood a few steps away from Wang Tiezhu, remaining silent.
An indescribable sense of unease gripped Chen Xu's chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
If it weren't for his entanglement with the Fish Emperor... this tragedy might have been avoided.
Chen Xu once thought he was calm and indifferent enough.
But at this moment, looking at his friend's collapsing world, looking at all the innocent deaths, he felt a deep sense of loss.
He desperately wanted to drag the Fish Emperor out immediately and grind his bones to dust.
Wang Tiezhu knelt amidst the bloodstains, tears of blood streaming from his eyes.
Just then, a golden light burst forth from the corpse of Han Li in his arms without warning.
The golden light was pure and intense, and it entered Wang Tiezhu's chest.
"Ugh!!!"
Wang Tiezhu let out a roar, his body arching backward as if he were enduring immense pain.
Golden arcs of lightning, visible to the naked eye, darted and crackled beneath his skin.
A violent and majestic aura suddenly rose from his body.
His cultivation aura, which was originally only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, began to surge wildly.
In the blink of an eye, he crossed two minor realms and stopped at the late Foundation Establishment stage!
If you could only read one fantasy novel in your life, it would probably be "Proving Immortality Through Hextech Runes".
