Chapter 115 The Grand Finale 3
At this moment, Shanxi slowly stepped forward, staring coldly at Shan Mingyuan: "Shan Mingyuan, I will spare your life for now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Mingyuan felt a surge of joy.
But soon, he realized something was wrong.
Could Shanxi really be so kind?
"What do you want me to do?" Shan Mingyuan asked, his face filled with vigilance and panic.
Seeing that he was so sensible, Shanxi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
Soon, a large group of people walked out of the ancestral hall.
As they reached the door, Shanxiong's eyes lit up with excitement. He rushed up to them, his face full of anticipation, and asked, "How did it go? Did you two reach an agreement? Are you... are you getting back together?"
When Shanrou heard the word "reconciliation," she felt a surge of anger rush from the bottom of her heart to her head, as if she had been slapped hard across the face.
These two words were undoubtedly a great mockery to her, a trampling on her dignity.
She glared coldly at Shanxiong, her gaze like a sharp dagger piercing him, and coldly uttered a single word: "Get lost!"
Startled by the sudden angry shout, Shanxiong shrank back, his body trembling involuntarily.
He instinctively looked at Shan Mingyuan, only to see Shan Mingyuan's face as dark and menacing as the sky before a storm. Shan Mingyuan roared at him, "Get out!"
Shanxiong: "..."
These two, no wonder they're a couple, both yelling that they want to get out, they're quite in sync!
As night fell, the air grew slightly cool.
With trepidation in his heart, Shan Mingyuan arrived at the agreed location with heavy steps.
He subconsciously rubbed his hands together, trying to dispel the chill, but the tension and fear in his heart surged like waves, one after another, causing his hands to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
He waited quietly in place for a while, and time seemed to stand still, each second feeling exceptionally long.
Finally, a figure appeared slowly at the entrance of the valley, like a ghost.
The man was dressed in a large black robe and wore a hood that completely covered his face. Only two cold, sinister eyes could be vaguely seen peeking out from under the hood, like eerie light in the cold night, sending chills down one's spine.
Shan Mingyuan forced himself to remain calm and, following the plan, stepped forward to talk to the man.
"I heard you were kicked out, and you still managed to find out information?" the man in black said with a mocking smile.
Shan Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat, as if a heavy stone had struck his heart.
He hadn't expected the other party to know so much about his situation, and in an instant, his anxiety grew like wildfire.
However, he still pretended to be calm and slowly revealed the matter of divorce, claiming that he had obtained this opportunity to gather information in exchange for the divorce.
Hearing this, the smile on the man in black's lips deepened, a hint of cunning and ruthlessness in it: "Oh? What's inside the Shan family ancestral hall?"
“There’s nothing inside the Shan family ancestral hall.” Shan Mingyuan shook his head firmly, his eyes full of sincerity, as if stating an undeniable fact.
Fearing the other party might not believe him, Shan Mingyuan hurriedly added, "I saw it with my own eyes. Apart from the ancestral tablets of the Shan family, which were neatly arranged, there was nothing else inside. The entire ancestral hall was empty." When he said this, his tone was so sincere that there was not a trace of impurity.
The man in black stared intently into his eyes, his gaze like two sharp daggers, as if trying to see through his very soul.
Seeing that Shan Mingyuan didn't seem to be lying, his brows furrowed instantly, as if they were knotted together: "What about Shanxi? Shanxi came back to life after she went in, how did that happen?"
"I don't know either!" Shan Mingyuan said with a wronged expression.
“I shot her with my own hands, and I should have seen her die, but who knew…” Shan Mingyuan frowned deeply.
If it weren't for Sun Hee being alive and ruining his grand plans, he wouldn't have ended up in this state.
Just then, the man in black seemed to sense something amiss. His ears twitched slightly, as if he had caught a subtle fluctuation in the air. Suddenly, he glared sharply at Shan Mingyuan, his gaze piercing as if trying to see right through him: "You lied to me?"
Shan Mingyuan was startled, his pupils widened suddenly, like a frightened wild beast, his eyes filled with fear and panic.
"You have some nerve!" the man in black roared, his voice booming like thunder through the valley.
With a swift movement, he pierced Shan Mingyuan's heart.
Shan Mingyuan's eyes widened, his face still showing lingering fear, before his body slowly collapsed...
The man in black coldly looked at the fallen Shan Mingyuan, a disdainful sneer curling at the corner of his mouth: "Is that all the skill you have? You dare to try to play tricks on me."
Seeing that the other party had noticed, Shanxi gave an order, and the elite Shan family soldiers who had been lying in ambush all around rushed out like tigers released from their cages, surrounding the man.
Shanxi's figure flashed, appearing in front of the person like a ghost. Her hands quickly formed hand seals, and chains of spiritual energy flew out from her hands, instantly binding the person firmly.
“You’ve finally shown yourself,” Sun-hee said coldly, her gaze fixed intently on the bound man.
The man then let out a sinister laugh, a laugh that seemed to come from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine.
He slowly raised his head, revealing his face beneath the hood.
When Shanxi and Old Master Shan saw that face, they were shocked.
"How could it be you!" Old Master Shan's eyes widened, his eyeballs seemingly bulging out, as he shouted incredulously, his voice filled with astonishment and fear.
"The Emperor Emeritus?" Shanxi's brows furrowed tightly, as if tied in a knot. She stared intently at the Emperor Emeritus before her, her eyes filled with vigilance and doubt.
The retired emperor sneered, his laughter filled with mockery and disdain, and said, "Didn't expect to see you again, did you, Shanxi?"
Seeing that the other party seemed unaware of his true identity, Shanxi's expression turned cold as he asked in a chilling voice, "You've been secretly monitoring the Shan family all along? No, it should be said that you've never let your guard down against the Shan family for even a moment!"
The retired emperor narrowed his eyes and admitted directly, "That's right! Although the Shan family has helped my dynasty to achieve glory, it has always been a hidden danger and a scourge."
Upon hearing this, Shanxi was furious. She clenched her fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and she exuded a fierce aura. She gritted her teeth and said, "How dare you scheme against my Shanxi family like this!"
"The Shan family has always been loyal to the court and has never been disloyal, yet you are so suspicious and wary of them, even resorting to such despicable means!"
The retired emperor sneered, his face full of disdain: "Loyalty? What is absolute loyalty! The Shan family is powerful; if it is not controlled, it will surely become a great threat in the future."
