Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 644: Chapter 277: Mother’s Keepsake, Elder Qingdeng, Counterkill

As if what just happened was his illusion.

”Gulp”

Fu Changsheng was a bit nervous.

Because there was no lake in sight at all.

He gritted his teeth.

Fu Changsheng swiftly drew a Sword Point across his eyes, activating the Ming and Qing Spiritual Eyes. When he opened his eyes again, a faint white light appeared.

At this moment.

The tombs in front of him trembled slightly.

Then, they dissipated like ripples in water.

Immediately after.

A pitch-black Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts appeared before his eyes.

In the lake.

A singsong voice was heard:

”I ride an oiled carriage, my lover rides a bay horse, where shall we pledge our hearts? Beneath the pines and cypresses of West Ling...grass like a cushion, pine like a canopy. The wind as our gown, water as our girdle. The oiled carriage, waiting for the evening...”

Accompanied by the chant.

Immediately after.

A lantern emitting a cyan light slowly rose.

The lantern seemed to be carried by someone, moving continuously forward, heading straight towards where Fu Changsheng stood:

”What...what the heck is this ghost place?!”

Fu Changsheng’s heart trembled.

He no longer cared about the Human Emperor Banner.

All he thought about was leaving this place safely.

However.

At this moment, he found his body stiff, and the mana within him seemed to be sealed by someone, unable to circulate at all. Involuntarily, his right foot followed the cyan lantern step by step towards the lake:

”What’s going on?”

This place was too bizarre.

Fu Changsheng felt a chill in his heart, quickly chanting the Heart Clarity Spell, but everything in front of him was not an illusion. As he reached the lake’s edge, a small boat suddenly emerged from the lakebed.

The boat had an old woman with no teeth, smiling and waving at him.

”I must not board the boat!!”

Fu Changsheng vaguely knew.

Once he stepped onto this boat.

He feared he would really have no turning back.

In the dead of winter, yet Fu Changsheng’s forehead was covered in large beads of sweat. Although panicked, he quickly calmed down. Since the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique couldn’t function.

Then the Spirit Technique from the Ancient Source Thunder Scripture, which is inherently a counter to sinister things, should work.

Fu Changsheng willed it into action.

Buzz!

”It works!!”

Just as the old woman’s claw was about to reach him.

Sizzle!

Thunder roared.

In an instant, two strikes of Exorcism Divine Thunder crashed down on the old woman.

Fu Changsheng didn’t have time to check the situation of his opponent and turned to run. At this time, he could already activate the Smoke Mist Illusion body technique, flashing several times at extreme speed to leave the lakeside.

Just as he narrowly escaped danger.

Tombs reappeared before his eyes.

The tombs were densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see:

”Really seeing ghosts!!”

Fu Changsheng gritted his teeth.

Immediately activated the Purple Qi Divine Light. With a buzzing sound, the Purple Qi Divine Light transformed into a brilliant ray falling into the sky above the tombs.

Rumble!

The whole sky was instantly lit up by the Purple Qi Divine Light as if it was daytime.

The tombs disappeared with it.

Fu Changsheng felt a surge of joy in his heart, his body flickering as he left the tombs. Just when he thought he had escaped this bizarre place, the singsong voice came again from behind:

”I ride an oiled carriage, my lover rides a bay horse, where shall we pledge our hearts? Beneath the pines and cypresses of West Ling...”

Immediately after.

His vision blurred.

He was back at the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts:

”What...what is happening?!!”

At this moment.

He couldn’t even move his eyeballs, and neither the Purple Qi Divine Light nor the Exorcism Divine Thunder would operate. He could only watch helplessly as the cyan lantern swiftly floated his way.

The small boat, far on the horizon.

In an instant.

The small boat drifted to his feet:

”Young master, board the boat!”

The old woman on the boat then looked up, her previously haggard face instantly replaced by the exquisite features of a celestial maiden, reaching out with slender jade-like hands as quick as lightning towards him.

”Could today be the day I meet my end here?”

Unwilling!

He decided he could not just sit and wait for death!!

Fu Changsheng’s mind raced quickly, just as he was about to make a desperate fight.

Buzz!

At the moment the woman’s fingers touched him.

A ring originally worn on his chest suddenly floated up.

Inside the ring.

The outline of a white-robed woman seemed to be lighting up.

The old woman saw the ring, a look of fright flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly opened her mouth wide, quickly blowing out the shimmering cyan light in the lantern.

In the blink of an eye.

The cyan lantern, the small boat, and the old woman vanished without a trace.

What met his eyes was an ordinary pool of water, and Fu Changsheng was standing at the water’s edge:

”This.....”

Fu Changsheng stepped back repeatedly.

The scene just now felt like a dream.

Since embarking on the path of cultivation, he had never been so passively powerless before. If not for the ring his mother left him, he might have had to fight to the death or be pulled into the small boat by the old woman, doomed to fall into hell forever.

Fu Changsheng couldn’t be bothered to figure out what had happened at the moment.

Still shaken, he.

Quickly turned and left this ghostly place.

After leaving the Yin Leaf Forest.

Only then did he feel like he was alive again.

Fu Changsheng lowered his head and took out the ring hanging around his neck.

It was said that his mother had placed this ring on him at birth, and in the past sixty years, Fu Changsheng had never noticed anything unusual about it.

Moreover, this ring had no mana fluctuations.

He simply wore it as a memento of his mother.

But now it seemed.

This ring had significant origins.

Fu Changsheng took a careful look.

He found that there was now a small crack in the ring:

”What is the origin of this ring?”

”Could there be more to the disappearance of my mother and father?!”

Fu Changsheng felt as if a thick fog covered the truth from his eyes, unable to see any part of it.

After placing the ring back inside his clothes.
