Chapter 747: Chapter 747: Destined to be Unrestful

The night was calm and serene.

Lin Fan lay in the room arranged by the Third Elder.

Xu Zhi Rou, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment, leaned on his shoulder.

Exhausted, she felt she could fall asleep at any moment.

"You’re so bad, doing it on purpose with so much force!"

Xu Zhi Rou pursed her lips, unsure if Zhao Jiaqi next door had heard their voices just now.

But considering she could hear the footsteps from the other side, she deduced that the wooden lodging had poor soundproofing.

"You’re not bad either, screaming so loud on purpose earlier, fearing others wouldn’t hear, right?"

Lin Fan laughed and pinched Xu Zhi Rou’s nose.

Some things needed no words, a glance was enough to know what the other was thinking.

"So, do you want to go over now? I believe Jiaqi would definitely comply."

Xu Zhi Rou licked her lips, having done her best, and that was all she could help him with.

"Let’s not, let her be envious!"

Lin Fan shook his head, his story with Zhao Jiaqi was just beginning.

Sometimes, not getting what you want can be more intriguing.

"You’re wicked, hogging someone yet not making a move, you’re not hoping she’ll come begging you, are you?"

Her voice, soft and rubbing, naturally carried a hint of teasing. Xu Zhi Rou whispered with a mischievous smile.

As a woman, she could clearly see that Zhao Jiaqi had feelings for Lin Fan, deep as the ocean.

"What’s wrong with that? I’m in no hurry."

Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders but just as he was about to pull Xu Zhi Rou into his arms, a fierce murderous aura suddenly made him pause.

"Not good, it’s the aura of the Golden Corpse!"

Sensing the familiar murderous aura, Lin Fan rolled out of bed, dressed swiftly, and had already dashed out the door.

The other door was also pushed open by Zhao Jiaqi, who clearly felt the murderous intent as well.

"Still up this late?"

Lin Fan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Jiaqi.

The mischievous smile on his face made her cheeks turn red.

Knowing their noise was deliberate, she could only reluctantly chide him, "Keep it down next time, it’s disturbing the peace!"

"Feel free to supervise us next time."

"Pervert!"

As Lin Fan spoke, he had already leaped onto the rooftop, with Zhao Jiaqi jumping up right after him.

At that moment, the clear moon had already hidden behind the clouds, leaving the earth enveloped in darkness.

The heavy stench of blood only added to the eeriness.

The Third Elder had also arrived by now.

"Third Elder, why has the murderous intent of the Golden Corpse suddenly intensified?"

Lin Fan squinted his eyes, looking towards the darkness on his right.

The thick murderous aura was chilling to the bone.

"It shouldn’t be... only twenty years have passed since the last loosening of the Sealing Demon Array... By all accounts, such incidents should only occur every hundred years, and even last time, the murderous intent wasn’t this intense!"

The Third Elder felt a little uneasy; he had never encountered such a situation before.

Twenty years ago, under that pervasive murderous intent, the previous head of the Zhou Family, Zhou Tianfu’s father, had fought to his death, which is why he recommended Zhou Tianfu to be the new Family Head and manage the Shura Sect.

"It stinks so bad!"

Xu Zhi Rou, now dressed, had just barely arrived.

Standing on the roof, she couldn’t help but cover her nose.

"That’s not stench, it’s resentment!"

Zhao Jiaqi stretched her hand, took out several paper cranes from the waist pouch she carried.

With a casual flick, the paper cranes, folded from talismans, formed a small barrier protecting them both.

"Found it, what place is that over there?"

The murderous intent grew stronger, and Lin Fan finally found the source of it in the darkness.

Following the direction he pointed in, the expressions of the three elders changed dramatically.

"It’s the location of the Zhou Family’s ancestral graveyard... also the focal point of the Sealing Demon Array... That should be the strongest part of the entire Sealing Demon Array, the murderous intent shouldn’t be coming from there!"

"Clearly, there’s a problem there!"

Lin Fan drew the dagger from his waist and turned to Xu Zhi Rou and Zhao Jiaqi, "You two wake up all the villagers and take them to a safe area to hide; we two are going to check it out, and we might have to fight!"

"Then be careful!"

Xu Zhi Rou nodded her head, as her current strength wasn’t sufficient to be of any help.

On the other hand, Zhao Jiaqi took several golden paper cranes out of her backpack.

"I can use the Demon Seeking Formulas to help you locate the enemy, and although I can’t inflict much damage, at least you won’t get lost in this Sealing Demon Array!"

At this moment, the Sealing Demon Array had also started to become unstable, leaking the power of sealing, which could indiscriminately attack them. Thus, whether it was the previous tomb-guarding families or the current Zhou Family, most people actually died under the rampant power of the Sealing Demon Array, a double-edged sword that hurts the enemy or kills oneself.

"It seems you can not only bear children but also do quite a lot of things."

Lin Fan watched the golden paper cranes leave Zhao Jiaqi’s palm and fly into the darkness, and couldn’t help teasing her.

"Don’t be slick with your words, take care of yourself!"

Zhao Jiaqi gave Lin Fan a loving rolled eye and did not forget to remind him.

"Don’t worry, I’ll come back and study it well with you."

Lin Fan’s figure flickered, and he followed the paper cranes into the darkness.

The three elders also hurriedly followed suit.

In an instant, the two were swallowed by the darkness.

"Let’s hurry and evacuate the villagers too!"

With the two of them fulfilling their mission, it was naturally up to them to handle the rest.

Xu Zhi Rou quickly jumped to the ground and ran towards the distance.

Zhao Jiaqi also naturally began to shout loudly.

Soon, noise finally erupted from the houses.

"My head hurts so much..."

"Why can’t my dog stand up... it’s trembling all over... could it be sick?"

"Why can’t I feel my legs?"

Although they didn’t know exactly what was happening, strange occurrences continued in the village.

The villagers, with their dulled senses, didn’t feel any immediate danger, but their bodies had already mysteriously begun to malfunction.

Especially all the dogs in the village, none could move.

All were curled up in their nests, silent, trembling all over.

As for the large livestock like cattle and horses, they too stood frozen in place as if they had become statues.

Even when whipped, they remained utterly motionless.

"Leave all your belongings, and enter the forest immediately!"

Zhao Jiaqi knew that this was a sign that the animals were completely terrified by the murderous intent.

Unable to explain, she could only guide the villagers to evacuate.

But just then, an old woman ran through the crowd, who was the wife of Zhou Tianfu.

Gasping for breath, she grabbed Zhao Jiaqi’s hand and began to wail.

"Jiaqi... it’s terrible... Dequan is missing..."

Zhao Jiaqi looked at the old woman puzzledly; although Zhou Tianfu, that beast, deserved to die, Zhou Dequan was really just a simple-minded child with no schemes, fondly following behind Zhao Jiaqi and affectionately calling her "sister."

"Where could he have gone at this late hour?"

"Someone said they saw him heading towards the ancestral graveyard!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiaqi inhaled sharply.

Could it be that this outbreak of the golden corpse is related to Zhou Dequan?
