The Ren Family Is in Trouble!

"Withdraw!"

Lin Fan hurriedly withdrew his sword fingers, his eyes flashing with brilliance!

This was what Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was supposed to be!

This was what the legendary thunder was supposed to be!

This was no longer a simple matter of increasing its power several times over!

At this moment, Purple Heaven Divine Thunder was like an extension of his body, allowing him to manipulate it at will.

Unlike the ordinary Five Thunders Spell, which drew heavenly thunder down for attacks,

Purple Heaven Divine Thunder could transform in countless ways, its aura resembling that of the Xiantian realm, moving according to his will.

"This is way too exaggerated. If I unleash it with all my might, then add the amplification from the Peachwood Sword, wouldn't that be insane?"

Lin Fan wore a radiant smile and let out a long breath.

"System, open the Attribute Panel."

Name: Lin Fan

Realm: Houtian Ninth Level

Magic Tool: Peachwood Sword (Daoist Magic Amplification 100%)

Daoist Magic: Purple Heaven Divine Thunder (Grand Perfection), Soul Locking Evil Dispelling Talisman (Small Accomplishment), Calming Heart Talisman (Grand Perfection), Eye-Opening Technique (Grand Perfection)

Merit Points: 20

Skill Points: 4541

"Pretty powerful, I suppose. I'll keep working at it."

Lin Fan rose to his feet and stretched.

Wait until he had more Skill Points. Improving the Soul Locking Evil Dispelling Talisman would give him another huge boost.

And once he had more Merit Points, upgrading the Calming Heart Talisman and Eye-Opening Technique would make him truly invincible!

Bang!

Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out from outside the door.

"Hm?"

Lin Fan sprang up and hurried outside.

He saw that the explosion had come from the place where Master Ren's coffin was being kept!

Wasn't Wen Cai sleeping inside the longevity chamber?

How could such a huge commotion have happened?

Uncle Jiu's figure appeared in the courtyard. He rushed toward Lin Fan and asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"

"Master, I'm fine. Hurry and check the longevity chamber!"

"Let's go!"

Without another word, Uncle Jiu led Lin Fan toward the longevity chamber.

The moment the two stepped inside, they both froze.

Inside, all the ink lines on Old Master Ren's coffin had been completely destroyed.

The coffin lid had long since been opened, and the corpse had vanished without a trace.

In the corner, a disheveled, ash-covered figure was slumped on the ground, trembling as he muttered something.

"Wen Cai, Wen Cai!"

Uncle Jiu stepped forward first and patted Wen Cai.

"Don't kill me! I don't know anything! I don't know anything!"

Wen Cai trembled in terror, waving his hands repeatedly as he shouted.

"Fool, it's me and Master!"

Seeing that Wen Cai was unharmed, Lin Fan tugged at him and spoke.

"Master... Senior Disciple Brother..."

Only then did Wen Cai come to his senses. He looked at the two of them in panic.

"What happened? Explain yourself first."

Uncle Jiu calmly pressed a hand against Wen Cai and asked.

"It... it suddenly exploded!"

Wen Cai stared blankly at the cracked coffin, his face filled with terror.

Lin Fan frowned. "What do you mean, it exploded? Weren't you sleeping here? Didn't you see anyone?"

"I... I was sleeping the whole time. Then there was suddenly a bang, and it became like this..."

Wen Cai looked bitter and aggrieved.

"This is bad."

Lin Fan furrowed his brows and fell into thought.

He had clearly applied ink lines to the bottom of the coffin as well. How could this still have happened?

Uncle Jiu looked at Lin Fan with a slight frown. "When a zombie harms people, its purpose is to suck their blood. That allows it to prolong its life and grow stronger. It will first harm its own relatives, and only afterward harm strangers."

"Why does it harm its relatives first?"

Wen Cai pressed on.

Uncle Jiu continued, "A zombie can sense the aura of its relatives subconsciously. Although its brain is dead, it still retains some memories from when it was alive. It is most familiar with the home it lived in and the relatives it spent time with, so after becoming a corpse, it can naturally find its way home."

"Then..."

Wen Cai seemed to have thought of something and froze.

"Stop standing around. The Ren family is in danger!"

Lin Fan slapped Wen Cai on the shoulder, turned around, and walked outside.

"I hope it isn't planning to kill the Ren family."

Uncle Jiu rushed out of the room and headed straight toward Ren Family Town.

"Master, Senior Disciple Brother, don't leave me behind!"

Wen Cai shuddered in fright. Without bothering to think, he hurried after them!

The master and his two disciples rushed straight toward Ren Manor.

Late at night, Ren Manor.

Uncle Jiu led Lin Fan and Qiu Sheng to the entrance of Ren Manor.

Before Uncle Jiu had even stepped halfway through the gate, a wave of evil energy rushed toward him.

An ominous premonition arose within him.

He focused his gaze and saw waves of evil energy continuously pouring out of the window outside Ren Fa's room!

"Not good!"

As soon as he spoke, Uncle Jiu charged toward Master Ren's room.

Lin Fan and Wen Cai followed closely behind.

"Bang, bang!"

In an instant, the master and his two disciples reached the second floor of Ren Manor.

They saw that Ren Fa's door was open.

Master Ren was leisurely puffing on his pipe and sipping tea.

He was bent over, doing his accounts.

Hearing the noise, Ren Fa warily rose to his feet and looked up.

He was suddenly startled by the three figures standing in the doorway.

"It's the middle of the night! You scared me half to death."

"Uncle Jiu, you've come to visit so late at night. Did something happen?"

Master Ren patted his chest and let out a long breath.

Wait, that wasn't right. Master had just said that a zombie would target its closest relatives first.

And Master Ren was Old Master Ren's son—the closest relative of all, wasn't he?

But Old Master Ren wasn't here. He was perfectly fine.

Wen Cai scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Where's the zombie?"

Ren Fa replied doubtfully, "Zombie? What zombie?"

"Your father, Master Ren."

"My father? Shouldn't he be at the mortuary?"

Master Ren asked in confusion.

Wen Cai immediately lowered his head and scratched it.

He looked like a child who had done something wrong and instantly stopped talking.

"This isn't the time to discuss that. Master Ren, there's evil energy in your room."

Uncle Jiu suddenly stepped forward and interrupted them, easing the awkward situation somewhat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Ren shot behind the three of them like a monkey.

Master Ren's voice trembled slightly. "U-Uncle Jiu, don't scare me in the middle of the night. My old bones can't take it. Whatever it is, I'll leave it to you and your two disciples."

Uncle Jiu nodded at Master Ren, indicating his agreement.

Just as Uncle Jiu circulated his true qi and prepared to cast the Eye-Opening Technique,

Lin Fan, standing beside him, had already begun circulating energy between his brows.

He raised his sword fingers, holding two willow leaves between them.

With practiced ease, he swept them across his eyes and slowly opened them.

His bright eyes were like morning dewdrops—crystal clear and brimming with vitality.

Grand Perfection Eye-Opening Technique!

Uncle Jiu's brows knitted together as he thought to himself.

Although the Eye-Opening Technique could not be considered a high-level technique of the Daoist Sect,

it was merely a minor spell practiced by those who had just entered the Daoist path.

Even ordinary people needed some time to learn and use it proficiently.

Even the most outstanding practitioners of the current generation would need eight or ten years to master it, wouldn't they?

Not to mention that the Eye-Opening Technique Lin Fan had displayed was at Grand Perfection.

How many days had it been since Uncle Jiu taught Lin Fan?

What kind of monster was Lin Fan?

He had actually cultivated the Eye-Opening Technique to Grand Perfection in such a short time.

One question after another surfaced in Uncle Jiu's heart.

Just as Uncle Jiu was puzzling over it,

Lin Fan suddenly smiled knowingly and blurted out, "Found you."

The three people in the room followed Lin Fan.

Lin Fan stopped beside Master Ren's bed.

Everyone stared in astonishment, their hearts jolting.

Their faces were filled with disbelief.

A dazzling red flower had appeared on the small table beside the bed.

It faintly emitted a red glow, with evil energy radiating from it.

The Prosperity Flower—another Prosperity Flower!
