Chapter 517: Chapter 513 Heading to Youlan Valley (Fourth Update!)
"Human skulls?"
Lin Tian’s eyes narrowed, and his expression grew serious.
"Yes... yes... it’s human skulls, so many human skulls! It was not far from where I was bitten by the Mountain Wind!"
Fang Shilei looked terrified, her voice trembling, "Your Traditional Chinese Medicine skills are so impressive, maybe you’ve studied some Fengshui superstitions or things alike. Auntie wanted to find you to return home, so I volunteered to go to town, and now that you’re back, your timing is perfect!"
"Is my mom okay?"
Lin Tian’s face changed quickly with anxiousness, and he hurried toward his house.
However,
Before Lin Tian could reach the entrance, his mom Xiao Lin, his dad Lin Zhenyu, along with Xu Tangge and others, had already walked out of the house.
Seeing Xiao Lin safe, albeit a bit pale, Lin Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lin Tian, your mom saw something ominous. Do you have any suggestions or should we get someone to perform a ritual? You’ve grown up, and I feel it’s better for you to make some decisions now,"
Lin Zhenyu looked very solemn, sighing with worry as he spoke.
Back in Phoenix Town, faced with unbelievable circumstances, he understood that his son had not only encountered the Old Divine Doctor and received his teachings but might also meet other influential figures. His son had truly grown up!
"Dad, you were also once the head of the town government office, how can you believe in this stuff too?"
Lin Tian replied with a mild smile, looking relaxed. He didn’t want his mom to develop a psychological shadow due to that thing.
At the very least, he couldn’t let the situation be portrayed as too bizarre.
Just as he was getting ready for Fang Shilei to show him to the skulls, a weird shrieking noise suddenly came from the village’s pond not far away.
Old Man Wang, wearing a white tank top, was pulling on his remaining sandal and pointing in the direction of Lin Tian’s house, his face filled with terror.
"Ah ah ah... filthy things... filthy things..."
Old Man Wang stared with wide eyes, pointing at Lin Tian and others, yelling repeatedly.
It seemed as though he had seen something incredibly horrifying.
"There’s Old Man Wang again, Chenzi’s mom, you better quickly take your daughter-in-law home! Don’t let him scare you; that old man is unlucky..."
By this time, many people from the village had gathered, some hurriedly cautioned.
Hearing this, Xiao Lin panicked and quickly ran back home with Xu Tangge and Lin Xiaoqing.
Even Fang Shilei hurriedly followed them in fright.
"What’s wrong with this old man?"
Lin Tian became even more puzzled. However, he couldn’t see any illness on Old Man Wang, nor the strange black energy, and there was no trace of anything related to Gu Worms.
But, how did he end up scaring Wang Yiluo? He would have to go ask Wang Yiluo about it tomorrow!
And he hadn’t even had the chance to examine Wang Yiluo’s physical condition today!
Confused, Lin Tian returned home.
"Tang Ge, are you alright?"
Lin Tian grabbed Xu Tangge’s wrist to check, and finding no abnormalities, he felt relieved.
But as Lin Tian’s Divine Sense swept over the other family members, he found an extra puff of black air inside his mom.
"Mom, give me your wrist!"
Lin Tian stepped forward, grabbed his mom’s wrist, and quickly channeled a stream of True Qi directly towards the black air, crushing it in one swoop.
Human skulls!
Lin Tian immediately thought of the pile of skulls that his mom and Fang Shilei had encountered. The black air was likely emanating from them.
"Stay at home, I’ll go check it out!"
After quickly instructing his family, Lin Tian turned and left the house, heading to the small elementary school at the east end of the village.
He reached the dilapidated little school with only two classrooms. Lin Tian’s Divine Sense immediately spread to the hill behind it. Soon enough, he discovered that there really was a pile of skulls accumulated under a giant stone.
Arriving under the giant stone, Lin Tian frowned, and his expression turned grim.
There, the skulls, seemingly forty to fifty in number, were arranged in a very eerie manner.
Among these skulls, Lin Tian discovered a strong, black Yin Qi that continuously lingered and hovered between each skull.
"This aura, it’s almost exactly the same as the aura emitted by the Gu Worm inside Wang Yiluo!"
"Very well, dare to stir trouble here in Youlan Village and nearly harm my family! I’ll be waiting for you to appear!"
Lin Tian’s expression was ice-cold as he muttered to himself, left the skulls undisturbed, and turned to leave the area.
Early the next morning, Lin Tian got up early, preparing to head to Ancient Rong Village to have a clear talk with Wang Yiluo.
But as soon as Lin Tian stepped out of his house, he learned from others that Old Man Wang had unexpectedly died.
Passing by Old Man Wang’s house, Lin Tian used his Divine Sense to investigate inside.
However, he found nothing.
Old Man Wang seemed to have died peacefully; there were no abnormalities on his body.
Lin Tian didn’t look further and directly headed to Ancient Rong Village.
But when he arrived at Wang Yiluo’s house, no one was there, only her parents were at home.
However.
Just as Lin Tian left Ancient Rong Village, he encountered another person, a girl named Chenzi, who followed a group of thugs under Long Xing.
Seeing Lin Tian, Chenzi no longer dared to provoke and frolic as before, her face showing panic.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Tian stared directly at her, asking coldly.
"I... I was just passing by!"
Chenzi quickly lowered her head, speaking nervously.
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes, glanced toward Ancient Rong Village, then suddenly shouted back, "Tell the truth! Otherwise, even if you’re a girl, I won’t mind being harsh!"
This remark made Chenzi shiver all over, and she hastily said, "I’ll tell... I’ll tell... it was Brother Long... Long Xing sent me to notify Wang Yiluo to head to Youlan Valley. As for what specifically, I don’t know!"
"Wang Yiluo has already gone?"
Lin Tian’s face suddenly changed, not expecting that the bunch of skulls was at the entrance of Youlan Valley; his expression grew even more grim, and he quickly asked again.
"She left five minutes ago."
Chenzi quickly responded.
Five minutes?
It looks like she hasn’t reached inside Youlan Valley yet!
Thinking this, Lin Tian no longer paid attention to her and turned to head toward Youlan Valley.
At the same time, Chenzi’s phone rang.
"Chenzi, has Wang Yiluo come over?"
Over the phone, Long Xing’s deep voice could be heard.
"Brother Long, she has already gone!"
Chenzi quickly responded, "Only, that Lin Tian has also followed her there, what should we do?"
"What, that guy followed her?"
Long Xing’s voice revealed surprise, but then he laughed, "Good, good... I was still thinking about how to kill him later, but now he’s delivered himself to us, right on time!"
After leaving Ancient Rong Village, Lin Tian’s speed suddenly increased, turning into a black shadow and directly overtaking a small hill in front.
Soon, Lin Tian caught up with Wang Yiluo, who had just walked through the entrance of Youlan Valley, moving down the rugged little stone path toward the depths of the valley.
At this moment, Wang Yiluo’s face lacked its previous sunny smile; there was only coldness and desolation.
She moved step by step, her feet heavy.
"Wang Yiluo, wait!"
Lin Tian quickly caught up with her in several swift strides, keeping up with her, and said with a smile, "Let me join you for a bit of fun!"
"Lin Tian!"
Wang Yiluo turned around, her face astonished, and urgently said, "What are you doing here? Leave quickly, don’t follow me!"
