Episode 105: Six Enter, Seven Exit

  "Roar!" Around dawn, the power of the moon waned, and a loud roar suddenly burst out from Fan Zhuo's mouth. A powerful aura emanated from his mouth, and the originally black wings now revealed a hint of silver stripes. The airflow swirled in visible waves, whipping up a storm. Fortunately, this place was covered by Li Yan's Mahavairocana boundary, or else who knows how big the commotion would have been.

  The powerful airflow slowly came to a stop, and Vantox stretched out his body in comfort, with a burst of "crackling" sounds from his entire skeletal system. His physique seemed to have become more upright, and an aura emanating from his body instantly filled the space enveloped by the Great Musty Boundary. He slowly flapped the two wings behind him, with silver stripes dancing like mercury. Feeling the enormous change in his body, Vantox couldn't help but be stunned for a moment as he retracted his fangs.

  "Heavens! How is this possible? I've actually reached the pinnacle of Marquis in an instant. Logically speaking, even with the help of the Bloodline Sacred Object, the Lapis Lazuli Holy Cup, it would take me at least thirty to fifty years to reach this realm!"

  At this time, Vantox's eyes were inadvertently filled with a hint of blood red as he looked at his silver wings and felt the powerful force within him. He couldn't help but go wild for a moment.

  "Hmph, what a waste, I've wasted my effort gathering so much moonlight power for you, and yet you still can't break through the barrier to reach the rank of Duke."

  Li Yan let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with disdain: "What a pity to waste so much of the Moon's power. At least for the next three months, it will be impossible to gather such dense energy again. I had thought that even if your bloodline didn't have any inherited martial arts, you would at least have some secret techniques passed down, and breaking through to the rank of Duke shouldn't be a problem. But I didn't expect... You're actually just a guy who relies on his bloodline and instincts to get by, what a waste of my efforts."

  Upon hearing this, the look of surprise on Fan Zhong's face instantly vanished. He had thought that his sudden breakthrough from being a mere vassal to becoming a marquis would be an extraordinary achievement, but he never expected that in Li Yan's words, it would be so trivial.

  After a moment of awkward smile, he still respectfully gave Li Yan the most solemn ceremony of paying homage to the ancestral emperor of the blood clan. At this moment, Fan Zhong, after experiencing a dreamlike cultivation growth, had already regarded Li Yan as a terrifying existence comparable to the ancestor of the blood clan.

  Unfortunately, Li Yan didn't think much of Fang Zhuo's qualifications and waved his hand impatiently, saying: "In a few days, I'll be attending a birthday party for one of my classmates on Dragon Boat Festival. Remember to buy me a gift and deliver it the day before."

  "Yes, sir!" No matter how dissatisfied Li Yan was with him, Fan Zhong was extremely respectful to Li Yan at this moment. He didn't dare disobey Li Yan's words in the slightest. As soon as Li Yan lifted the Mahayana boundary, he quickly transformed into a bat and flew away.

  Li Yan, however, stood still, unable to help but furrow his brow. For the past few days, he had been able to clearly sense two extremely powerful resentful auras, which seemed to be mutually attracting each other. If they weren't so far apart, something disastrous would likely occur.

  The next morning, when Lin Xiaoyun came to take over the shift as usual, Li Yan saw that she was still wearing the protective jade pendant he had given her. He couldn't help but smile slightly and waved his hand, greeting her with a "Good morning!"

  "Good morning, Mr. Li." Lin Xiaoyun also smiled sweetly along with him, and for some reason, the more time she spent in contact with Li Yan, the more she felt that she had no resistance to him at all.

  "Don't call me Mr. Li anymore, you can call me 'Xiao Yan'," After finishing speaking, Li Yan slightly furrowed his brow, seemingly somewhat perplexed, and then hastily added another sentence: "Uh, actually my mom has always called me that."

  "Really?" Lin Xiaoyun only felt her cheeks burning, subconsciously responded with a sound, and quickly walked towards the inner ward.

  Li Yan also felt a bit strange, every time he saw Lin Xiaojun, that familiar feeling would involuntarily gush out from the depths of his heart, as if they had known each other for a long time. And this familiar feeling became more and more apparent as the two people got to know each other better.

  Just as Li Yan was lost in thought, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Hai Ruitian, Yiyun's father, calling him. On the phone, his voice sounded somewhat tired: "Hello, is this Mr. Li? I think what you said that day might really make sense."

  "Haha......" Li Yan heard this and couldn't help but smile slightly, saying: "How come, now you're not reluctant to part with that Golden Bull statue?"

  "Alas..." Hai said with a sigh, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, to have been laughed at by Mr. Li. Originally, I really didn't believe it, but these past few days, I've been paying attention and observing, and indeed, this golden bull statue, every night after midnight, will exhibit some strange movements that are quite frightening."

  Li Yan coldly snorted, "That golden bull statue is not an ordinary divine spirit image. It's possible that at some point in time, it was a great auspicious object that protected all living things. However, as of now, it has already become deeply shrouded in evil energy and filled with resentful spirits. From great auspiciousness, it must have transformed into a greatly ominous object. In these days, have you seen on top of the golden bull, a shadowy image of a black bull faintly appearing?"

  "What?! Upon hearing this, Hai Tian couldn't help but let out a shocked cry: "Mr. Li, how did you know about this? You're really too amazing!"

  About the golden bull statue not arriving at midnight, there would be a shadow of a black bull flashing by. Hai Ruten also discovered this in the past few days and had never told anyone about it, including Hai Ruoyun and his mother, who were no exception. Now that Li Yan has revealed it with one sentence, he is shocked and doesn't understand how Li Yan, apart from having healing abilities, also possesses other mysterious powers.

  "God or not, let's not talk about it for now. You called me this time, is there something you're looking for?" Li Yan already had a general idea of what Hai Rutian was seeking, but he didn't reveal it. As a businessman, some things are better left unsaid by the other party, and the effect would be best if they spoke up themselves. If he were to speak first, who knows what unpredictable branches might sprout from this, and he didn't want to look for trouble.

  "Haha........." After a bitter laugh, Hai Ruitian finally spoke up: "Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Li. To be honest, I know that Mr. Li is a capable person, so I'd like to ask for your help in resolving the anomaly of this Golden Bull statue. Afterwards, I will definitely show my gratitude."

  At these words, Li Yan couldn't help but frown and said somewhat displeased: "So you're saying that even now, you still won't let go of that golden bull statue?!"

  "The... " Hai Yu Tian suddenly fell silent, to be honest, he really didn't want to give up that golden bull statue. When he was in a slump with his business, he bought the golden bull statue, and as a result, his fortune changed for the better, accumulating a huge amount of wealth in a short period of time. As a businessman, he really valued this golden bull statue, how could he just say goodbye to it?

  "Hmph!" Li Yan coldly snorted: "That Golden Bull statue is now a great ominous object, if you want to keep it, then keep it yourself. When disaster strikes, I won't be able to save you, nor will I be able to save your whole family. Even if everyone dies, it'll be all because of you."

  Upon hearing this, Hai Yitian on the other end of the phone immediately broke out in cold sweat and asked with a stutter: "Mr. Li, is this matter really that serious?"

  "If you don't believe me, you can try to see for yourself. Based on what I know, this disaster will arrive by May 5th, the Dragon Boat Festival at the latest!" Li Yan was not speaking alarmist words, with his cultivation, he could completely sense that among those two surging grievances, one of them was precisely the dark shadow of Cheng Hei Niu. This grievance was still manageable in ordinary times, but once it reached the day of utmost yang on the Dragon Boat Festival, it would be thoroughly stirred up and erupt violently. As for what kind of consequences there would be, Duan Yue couldn't predict either.

  There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and after a long while, a sigh came: "Alright, I'll leave this matter to Mr. Li then. When do you have time?"

  Listening to Hai Ruten's tone, it seemed like he was somewhat impatient. Li Yan smiled slightly and said: "For such a fierce evil spirit, it's not something that can be dealt with at any time. However, consider yourself lucky, tonight just so happens to be the day of breaking the evil spirit during the transition from six to seven. I'll take care of it for you tonight!"

  "Alright, where are you? Should I send someone to pick you up or what?" Hai Rutian asked hastily.

  "No need, the golden bull statue is full of resentment, I can naturally find your home. Don't worry, at 8 o'clock tonight, I will arrive at your home on time!" With that, Li Yan immediately hung up the phone.

  No matter what, Hai Ru Tian hesitated until the end, and was able to proactively give up the Golden Bull statue, which can be considered as his good fortune being deep, otherwise, Li Yan wouldn't have had any free time to deal with this broken matter. However, thinking about meeting that legendary spirit tonight, he couldn't help but smile slightly...

  Six come seven out: The thirteenth day of the month is considered by Westerners to be the most unlucky day, and for Eastern people, it is also a taboo day, belonging to yin entering yang retreating, ghost energy is strongest, killing energy clashes with Taurus!
