There were even more red silk threads, densely surrounding the South Pole and forming a cocoon.
Nan Yuanman blinked, then instead of taking out more talismans, he took a small coffin from his satchel and tossed it forward.
"Click..."
The small coffin suddenly grew larger upon landing, and the lid opened to the side. A pale, aged hand reached out from inside and gripped the coffin wall. A thin, old figure slowly appeared at the mouth of the coffin.
Before Jiang Zhen could react to what the suddenly appearing figure was, her vision blurred and an old man suddenly appeared in front of her.
Jiang Zhen: "!!"
"you--!!"
Before she could finish speaking, a sudden pain shot through her chest, and her entire soul was sent flying.
Jiang Zhen: "!!!"
She barely managed to stabilize her soul, and looked at Old Master Nan with a mixture of shock and anger, only to find that he had disappeared from the direction where he had been.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Zhen felt a chill run down her spine, and the ghostly energy on her body exploded violently as if it had encountered its natural enemy. She turned around abruptly and crossed her arms to protect her chest.
"Bang!!"
"Hiss..."
"Ah—!" Jiang Zhen's entire arm was corroded, turning into yin energy and dissipating rapidly.
She retreated in terror: "What are you?!"
It's clearly filled with yin energy and is an inanimate object, so why does it possess the power of merit?!
Is this reasonable?!
Grandpa Nan didn't say a word, but chased after Jiang Zhen and beat her severely.
The situation reversed again, and this time it was Jiang Zhen who was being suppressed.
Nan Yuanman was not idle either, and continued to take out Thunderfire Talismans to blast the spider silk pattern.
After blasting this field, he ran out and distributed the talismans to Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen, who were staring in disbelief: "Now that the array diagrams here are dealt with, you two go and blast the array diagrams on the west, south, and north sides of the village!"
Zhong Xueliu and Nan Yichen nodded vigorously, grabbed the Thunderfire Talisman, and turned to run.
If they don't do more work, they'll really become useless burdens that only hold us back!
"Oh my god, I'm exhausted." Nan Yuanman plopped down on the edge of the field, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Her chubby little hands, clutching the talisman, were trembling.
Such an intense battle was still too difficult for her. Fortunately, her grandfather emerged from seclusion.
Otherwise, her stock would have been completely used up today.
"Perfect, perfect!" Bai Wenying scrambled over, completely forgetting that she could float.
She knelt down in front of Nan Yuanman, her hands trembling as she looked her up and down: "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere? Does your body hurt?"
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt, it doesn't hurt." Nan Yuanman gave her a sweet smile and gently comforted her, "Mom, don't worry."
Bai Wenying didn't actually hit her. The force that landed on her chest was so light that it only sent her flying.
Even when she landed, Bai Wenying used her Yin energy to support her, so she wasn't injured at all.
The blood at the corner of her mouth was fake too. She had just stolen a blood capsule from Feng Langqing and made it look real to lure out Jiang Zhen, who was hiding in the shadows.
Nan Yuanman felt a little curious. Was this the legendary mother-daughter connection? She clearly hadn't communicated with Bai Wenying, yet she knew what she wanted to do.
Bai Wenying hugged Nan Yuanman tightly, her eyes red and her body trembling with fear: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... it's all Mom's fault..."
If she were a little stronger, she wouldn't be controlled or influenced by Jiang Zhen, because she really almost...
Bai Wenyin hugged Nan Yuanman even tighter.
“It’s not your fault, Mom.” Nan Yuanman gently patted Bai Wenying’s back. “It’s the fault of those bad people.”
Bai Wenying hummed in agreement, but didn't let go of her hand.
Nan Yuanman was quietly held in her arms. Through Bai Wenying's shoulder, she met the eyes of Jiang Lixuan, who was lying on the ground not far away, looking dazed.
Jiang Lixuan remained lying down, staring intently at the white figure without blinking, even his breathing became soft.
Was he hallucinating? Or was he already dead?
He seemed to see Bai Wenyin.
His deceased biological sister.
Nan Yuanman hesitated for a few seconds, gently patted her back, and asked her with pursed lips, "Mom, um... Jiang Lixuan seems to be out of control."
"He's looking at you. Do you... want to say a few words to him?"
Bai Wenying paused slightly, then gently released Nan Yuanman and asked her earnestly, "Over the years... have they come looking for the baby? Have they... been good to you?"
Nan Yuanman nodded: "They did look for me, and they..."
She scratched her head, unsure how to evaluate the Jiang family. She felt that while they had treated her well, they hadn't been particularly kind to her either. Yet, during her time at the Jiang family's home, they hadn't neglected her materially.
To her, apart from Jiang Tianzong, the rest of the Jiang family members were not purely evil, but rather a bit foolish.
Bai Wenying looked down at her and sighed softly, "Mom knows, Mom... I'll say a few words to him."
Nan Yuanman nodded, watching Bai Wenying walk towards Jiang Lixuan, and then looked up at the sky.
The battle in the sky was coming to an end. Jiang Zhen, who was born with a Yin nature, was no match for Old Master Nan, who was empowered by the power of merit. His gorgeous robes were corroded with holes, and he was missing a hand.
She was barely able to struggle in his grasp and would likely be caught by her grandfather soon.
She then turned her gaze to Bai Wenying and Jiang Lixuan.
Jiang Lixuan stared blankly at Bai Wenying, who was slowly walking towards him, his voice hoarse: "Ayin...you...you've come to pick me up, haven't you?"
Jiang Lixuan struggled to sit up from the ground and said urgently, "I already know about all the things you did before. I know that you didn't do them. It was Jiang Yueyao who did them, and she has already paid the price."
"Ah Yin, I know I was wrong. I'm sorry, I..."
Bai Wenying walked up to him without saying a word, raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"Smack—!"
Jiang Lixuan's face was twisted from the blow, and he heard a series of buzzing sounds in his ears.
"This slap is to help Bai Wenying."
As she spoke, she slapped Jiang Lixuan again: "This slap is for Yuanman."
“One of them is your own sister, and the other is your own niece. Yet, because of an outsider, they were treated too harshly, and now they have ended up like this. You deserve it.”
Jiang Lixuan opened his mouth, unable to defend himself, only managing a weak, feeble "I know I was wrong..."
"I won't forgive you." She looked down at her and said coldly, "Neither I nor Bai Wenying will ever forgive you."
"You'd better live well, try your best to live, and stop polluting her cycle of reincarnation."
After saying that, Bai Wenying didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards Nan Yuanman, a smile on her face.
Jiang Lixuan stared blankly at her departing figure, his chest tightened, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood before his eyes rolled back and he completely fainted.
Just as Bai Wenying was about to approach Nan Yuanman, Jiang Zhen's tattered soul was thrown down from the sky and crashed heavily in front of her.
Grandpa Nan stood in front of Nan Yuanman, staring at Bai Wenying, and said in a hoarse voice, word by word: "Stop."
