A chilling wind blew through the construction site, and dark clouds obscured the bright moon, making it pitch black and extremely eerie.
Ji Xiaoxiao kept a close eye on the movements of the Golden Scar underground. Once the sand flow stopped, she used her internal force to make the sand flow, passing the small hole in the coffin lid and slowly filling the inside of the coffin.
At first, Scarface's expression was calm, as if he were facing death without fear. Gradually, as the sand filled half of the coffin, he panicked and began to sob and whine.
After five hours of torture, Scarface's eyes were bloodshot and his face was deathly pale. As sand filled his mouth and gradually filled his nose, Scarface wept silently.
Suddenly, Scarface regained his mobility. He frantically raised his hands to wipe the sand from around his nose, gasping for breath through the last remaining gap in his lungs.
Golden Scar pounded on the fragile coffin lid, but no matter how hard he tried, the lid remained unmoved, firmly pressing down on him.
"Help me, help me, sob..."
Scarface opened his mouth and accidentally spit out a mouthful of sand. He wanted to spit it out, but there was nowhere for him to do so; the coffin was already full of sand.
Ten minutes later, Ji Xiaoxiao stood up, feeling dizzy and almost fell.
"Black Tortoise Master, are you alright?"
Ji Xiaoxiao shook her head. She had just overexerted herself and would be fine after a few days of rest.
Having successfully dealt with her first enemy, Ji Xiaoxiao took a nap and played for three days before returning home.
"Woof!" Just as Ji Xiaoxiao arrived at the door, Mao Mao reacted immediately and barked loudly.
Oh no, I forgot about this again!
Just as Ji Xiaoxiao was hesitating whether to simply stretch out her neck and cut it in two, a deafening roar like a cannon boom came from directly opposite the front door.
"Woof woof woof!" Mao Mao barked eagerly.
Something happened?
Ji Xiaoxiao opened the car door, and the soles of her feet had just touched the ground when Mao Mao bit her trouser leg and pulled her forcefully toward the sound of the explosion.
The small garden to the left of the mansion.
"I'll say it again, Master Xuanwu is not here, please leave." Li Fei glanced at Elder Tian next to Gu Jing and said, suppressing his anger.
"Leave? If you don't hand over the murderer Xuan Wen today, you'll regret it." Jin Ya Hui said to Tian Lao beside Gu Jing, "Tian Lao, they left home to hire martial arts masters who killed my father. You must give me justice."
Tian Lao readily agreed, "Let's talk things out calmly and not resort to violence."
The old man glared slightly, his powerful aura overwhelming the angry young man who had left home.
"Pfft." The younger member of the family vomited a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he was left to die.
Li Fei's face flushed red, and the veins on his neck bulged. To dare to mess with someone from the Li family right in front of him—this old man had become increasingly arrogant and rude over the years.
"Li Fei, Xuan Wen committed murder. There are witnesses and physical evidence. If you don't want things to escalate, you two will be accused of harboring a murderer. Just do as I say." Old Man Tian advised kindly.
Li Fei ignored him. He was just an old geezer, a complete stranger to him, so why should he listen to him? But the old geezer had managed to make a name for himself in the Gu family, and now he really thought he was something special. Shameless and self-righteous.
“Go back to your doghouse and keep dreaming!” Li Fei roared.
The old man paused, his expression turning as dark as ink.
"Young man, I'll teach you what it means to respect the elderly and care for the young on behalf of your elders."
Suddenly, Tian Lao made a move, his attack fierce and his killing intent chilling.
"You dare?" Li Fei stood still.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Tian Lao received a look from Gu Jing, indicating that he was acting under orders.
The Heavenly Palm gathers its power and strikes fiercely, leaving those struck either dead or crippled.
Li Fei was dumbfounded. How dare Tian Lao actually try to kill him? He had indeed had a hard time with his family in recent years, but even a broken boat has some nails, and he held an important position in the country. How could ordinary people like them kill him?
With a loud bang, everyone staggered a few steps.
Smoke and dust billowed, and a sense of oppression, solidified into a tangible force, flowed slowly.
"Auntie." The young man had a good eye.
"Auntie is here?" The family cheered with joy.
My great-aunt was a guardian angel away from home; she was an impregnable fortress.
"Grandma, you're getting old," Tian Lao suddenly said.
Immediately afterwards, my great-aunt collapsed, leaving a heavy thud.
"Auntie." Thanks to his auntie's intervention, Li Fei was spared. "Gu Jing, President Gu, your Gu family has trespassed into our Li family's home. You keep saying that the Xuanwu Master committed murder. Do you have any evidence? Stop shouting and show us the evidence."
Jin Yahui and Gu Jing were stunned. There were witnesses and physical evidence? It was just a boast.
Kim Ah-hye raised her head and shouted, "Hand over Hyun-wen!"
Show me the evidence? Who cares!
As Ji Xiaoxiao approached, the piercing, demonic sound reached her ears.
Is Kim Ah-hye here?
He must have known about his father's death.
Ji Xiaoxiao quickened her pace. To the left of the mansion, beside the small garden, two groups of people were clearly facing each other with fierce expressions, looking ready to break out at any moment.
"Xuanwu Master." Someone spotted Ji Xiaoxiao.
Ji Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the person Li Fei was holding was none other than her great-aunt, who had been in seclusion for many years. Judging from her great-aunt's appearance, she seemed to have suffered serious injuries.
Using a teleportation technique, Ji Xiaoxiao instantly appeared in front of Li Fei. "Patriarch, please let me see my aunt. Perhaps she can pull through this."
"Okay, okay, okay, Master Xuanwu, I'm counting on you."
"Master, please rest assured, Xuanwen will do her best."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xiaoxiao focused all her attention on the information about her aunt's injuries.
When Ji Xiaoxiao returned, she didn't even glance at Jin Yahui, which infuriated Jin Yahui.
“Xuanwen, you’ve finally decided to come out,” Jin Yahui said.
