Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Another Visit from the Heavenly Dao Avatar!

Fathers and sons bear no grudges against each other overnight.

Husbands and wives bear no grudges against each other overnight.

Such sayings were often heard.

However, sometimes these words made sense.

But they were utterly inappropriate when applied to Shi Kanshan and Shi Fan, father and son.

If you say that Shi Fan is a son and shouldn’t disregard the father-son affection simply because Shi Kanshan made a mistake,

This issue was explained by Shi Fan himself when he self-destructed.

It’s true that he’s Shi Kanshan’s son, but at the airport, had it not been for Shi Yaoguang, he might not have survived at all.

With this premise, Shi Fan believed that the father-son bond between him and Shi Kanshan was not that important.

Moreover, when Shi Kanshan plotted against Shi Yaoguang, he never once thought about him as his son.

Or perhaps, he deliberately plotted by taking advantage of Shi Fan’s identity.

If Shi Fan still ignored all that Shi Kanshan had done simply because he was his father and continued to interact with Shi Yaoguang as if nothing had happened, that would have been the real mistake.

The majority shared the same opinion as Shi Fan.

It was inevitable for Shi Fan to choose Shi Yaoguang over Shi Kanshan between the two.

No one could find fault in that.

...

Shi Kanshan never anticipated that his clever schemes would backfire.

He thought he could manipulate Shi Fan.

Instead, Shi Fan outmaneuvered him.

Now, not to mention bringing glory to the Shi Family, it was questionable whether they could retain their current status.

And that was not the cruelest part.

In the near future, Shi Fan single-handedly established a "Shi Family."

That Shi Family was not the one with the true and false daughters, nor the one Shi Kanshan had earnestly hoped to flourish.

It was "Shi Yaoguang’s Shi Family."

When Shi Fan, now a grown man, thrust the Shi Family he built into the ranks of top-tier households, he publicly declared,

This Shi Family belongs to Shi Yaoguang.

Nothing else.

Even, not the Shi Family of Shi Fan himself.

Only then did Shi Kanshan truly regret his actions.

Knowing that his son could achieve everything he had ever dreamed of, why did he bother doing those things?

If he had raised his son properly,

Waiting for Shi Fan to grow up, everything he wanted would have been within easy reach.

But by then, it was all too late.

Shi Fan had completely turned his back on the Shi Family.

Now, in his heart, there was only his sister, Shi Yaoguang.

Of course, these are all matters for later.

As for the current situation, Shi Kanshan was still extremely irritated by Shi Fan.

He never expected Shi Fan to be so heartless, as if he had given birth to this ingrate for nothing.

...

Just as Shi Kanshan "wished," after being ostracized by the elite circles, Shi Fan stopped bothering with him.

After all, he was reaping what he had sown.

Rather than wasting time on that, it was better to stay by his sister’s side and keep her company.

Well, actually, it wasn’t to keep his sister company but for her to accompany him.

Because his sister said she needed to leave for a while.

Though Shi Fan didn’t know what Shi Yaoguang was up to, he was quite worried, so he wanted to stay by her side.

However, this request was not met with approval.

Therefore, while Shi Yaoguang was still at home, he was unwilling to waste even a single second of time.

This often led to Quan Jinbei’s jealous and cold gazes.

Shi Fan had grown a thick skin; as long as his sister didn’t send him away, he would stay by her side.

Just a few glares, right?

They were neither painful nor itchy when they pricked him; he didn’t care.

Quan Jinbei had also realized that Shi Fan, the boy, had no self-awareness whatsoever.

But there was nothing he could do about it besides bearing with it, as it seemed there was no other way.

Fortunately, the day they had prepared to set off arrived quickly.

Ever since the last time the System tried to persuade him and failed, Shi Yaoguang hadn’t felt any movements from Heavenly Dao for a long time.

But Heavenly Dao would absolutely not quiet down and stop acting.

Unless it could stand by and watch itself dissipate between heaven and earth.

And of course, that was impossible.

From this, it was evident that Heavenly Dao must be brewing an even greater conspiracy.

Knowing that Heavenly Dao was restless, Shi Yaoguang naturally wouldn’t be unprepared.

This time, it was because they had heard that there was some activity on Quan Sicheng’s side that she and Quan Jinbei had decided to go and check it out themselves.

...

Three days later, M Continent.

According to the investigation by Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei, they confirmed that Quan Sicheng was indeed here.

Although they didn’t know what he was doing here, instinct told them that something was very off with Quan Sicheng recently.

This concerned them deeply, and they couldn’t be too careful.

Upon arriving, they distinctly felt unusual fluctuations in the air.

"This is—"

Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei exchanged a look, both seeing the same uncertainty in the other’s eyes.

The fluctuations nearby were very much like spiritual energy.

Yet there was some difference from spiritual energy, and Quan Jinbei didn’t quite understand it, but Shi Yaoguang did.

This stuff wasn’t spiritual energy, this damn thing was Demonic Qi!

Having been to the Cultivation World before, she naturally could tell the difference between the two.

For Quan Jinbei, it was merely an uncomfortable sense of the fluctuations.

After hearing Shi Yaoguang’s explanation, Quan Jinbei’s expression also grew grave.

If this stuff was really Demonic Qi...

Doesn’t that mean someone could be possessed by demons?

Although talking about deviating during cultivation and getting possessed by demons sounds a bit juvenile in the real world, but...

He and Shi Yaoguang were cultivators.

The Demonic Qi here was clearly more concentrated than the spiritual energy evenly distributed throughout the world.

And because of this, becoming possessed by demons would happen faster than normal cultivation.

If someone really had a lapse in judgment and tried to take this shortcut, then becoming possessed was inevitable.

Don’t talk about what if.

There are no ifs!

Shi Yaoguang was well aware of how much impact a cultivator could have.

If someone really was possessed and went out to harm society, it would cause considerable trouble for the world.

Having sensed this Demonic Qi, they set aside their initial purpose of finding Quan Sicheng.

Shi Yaoguang released her Divine Sense to search for anyone nearby who might have been possessed.

Without searching it wouldn’t have mattered, but once she did, she discovered a big problem.

It wasn’t a matter of whether someone had been possessed, but rather how few people hadn’t been.

In short, this city, which on the surface looked the same as any other city,

was in fact...

Eighty percent of the people in this city had been possessed.

At this point, they had to think back to why they came here in the first place.

They came here for Quan Sicheng.

What was Quan Sicheng’s purpose for being here?

Was he possessed as well, or was there another conspiracy?

This question was quickly answered by someone.

The newcomer was unexpected—the incarnation of Heavenly Dao!

Yes, that’s right, Heavenly Dao had sent another avatar.

But this time it was different from the past, this avatar wasn’t here to pick a fight.

He had come seeking help.
