Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Breaking the Curse

All those in the room were startled.

Yang Tian hurriedly asked, "Cursed? Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Fan explained, "There is a kind of curse on your father’s body. Although it is just the most rudimentary level of a curse, it is already a lethal threat to ordinary people, and this is precisely why your father has been unconscious without any detectable illness."

Those five high-ranking members of the Yang Family exchanged glances, starting to whisper among themselves.

"A curse? Can we really trust this guy? Why do I feel like he’s some kind of charlatan with a holy stick vibe?"

"Exactly, what era are we in now? Who still believes in such feudal superstitions? Yang Tian couldn’t have misjudged and brought back a scam artist, could he?"

...

The beautiful matron also looked at Chen Fan doubtfully, sensing something unreliable about him.

She reached out to tug at Yang Tian and gave him an inquiring look.

Although Yang Tian was unclear about the curse Chen Fan spoke of, he still had great faith in Chen Fan, having witnessed Chen Fan’s Divine Skills at the Earth Fiend gate.

Chen Fan’s hearing was no longer within the realms of ordinary people, and even though the crowd whispered very softly, he heard everything clearly.

Seeing that the people doubted him, he had no choice but to twist his hand gestures and draw out the black aura from Yang Zhengang’s brow, "Now, observe closely!"

The mass of black aura rose and morphed into a ghastly and terrifying ghost face, hovering above the head of the bed. Its two eyes stared fixedly at Yang Zhengang, its mouth constantly drawing something from Yang Zhengang’s body.

The atmosphere in the room instantly turned sinister, leaving everyone with goosebumps and trembling in fear.

"This... What is this thing? It’s terrifying, truly terrifying!"

"It’s actually real, he didn’t deceive us. Our family head has indeed been cursed by someone!"

...

The beautiful matron trembled and turned her gaze to Chen Fan; with a thud, she knelt down, "Mr. Chen, I beg of you, please save my husband and dispel this dreadful curse!"

Yang Tian also swallowed hard, his complexion pale as he said, "Mr. Chen, my father, I entrust him to you!"

Chen Fan spoke calmly, "Relax, this kind of curse is easy to break. However, what you should be concerned about now is who cast the curse. Although it is quite basic, it is still a maneuver that can only be performed by someone at least in the True Person Realm."

Yang Tian frowned and asked, "Mr. Chen, can you determine who cursed my father through this curse?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and replied, "Let me try."

Afterward, he released a force into the ghost face, beginning to trace the origin of the curse.

A short time later, Chen Fan said, "Twenty li to the southwest."

Yang Tian immediately began to ponder, "Southwest, twenty li, that location is... where the Sun Family resides!"

The beautiful matron’s complexion turned exceedingly ugly as she said, "Now in Tianhe City, the only ones with the gall to oppose our Yang Family are the Sun Family. I just didn’t expect that being unable to compete with us in business, they would resort to such vicious methods. We should not have shown mercy to the Sun Family before!"

The expression on Yang Tian’s face also darkened, "This bunch of bastards from the Sun Family, they’re really asking for it!"

Chen Fan spoke up, "I will help your father dispel the curse and incidentally assist in deterring the caster. However, I prefer not to intervene in the grievances between you and others."

Yang Tian quickly said, "Rest assured, Mr. Chen. If you can remove this curse from my father, you will have already done the Yang Family the greatest favor. As for the Sun Family, once my father awakens, we will find a way to deal with them."

Chen Fan nodded, then performed Hand Gestures, releasing strands of power to break the Curse afflicting Yang Zhengang.

That terrifying ghostly face let out a shrill scream before coming apart and dissipating into the air.

One subtle stream of power followed the root of the Curse, turning into a streak of light that soared into the sky, rapidly making its way towards the distance.

Normalcy returned to the room.

The sense of fear in everyone’s hearts vanished, and seeing that the ghostly face had disappeared, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, Yang Zhengang slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion, "What happened to me?"

The beautiful matron saw Yang Zhengang awake and immediately flung herself excitedly at the bedside, crying and saying, "Master, you have finally woken up, you really had me worried to death."

Yang Tian, seeing his own father awake, was also overcome with tears, and turned to Chen Fan, deeply bowed, and sincerely said, "Mr. Chen, words cannot express our gratitude, my Yang Family will forever remember the favor you have done us!"

Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "Although the Curse on your father’s body has been removed, the Curse has consumed much of his vitality. He needs substantial nourishment. Make sure to gather some medicinal materials to recuperate his health during this period."

Yang Tian nodded and then, as if remembering something, said, "Mr. Chen, please wait a moment."

Having said that, he turned and left the room.

After a short while, Yang Tian returned with a Jade Gourd in hand.

"Mr. Chen, this is the ancestral Jade Gourd of the Yang Family I mentioned to you before. With your profound abilities, I wonder if you can discern its mysteries. Rest assured, Mr. Chen, regardless of whether this Jade Gourd is a true Magic Artifact or not, I will give you another billion as a reward for saving my father."

Chen Fan took the Jade Gourd, carefully examined it for a while, then released his Divine Sense to infiltrate the interior of the gourd.

Soon after, his eyes shone with bright light, and he excitedly said to Yang Tian, "This gourd alone is enough as a reward; the extra billion is not necessary."

...

In the Sun Family residence of Tianhe City.

In the living room, Patriarch Sun, Sun Youcai, was sitting with a long-bearded elder.

With utmost respect on his face, Sun Youcai said with a smile, "True Person Zhang, we were fortunate to have your help this time. Yang Zhengang was confined to his bed, and by now, the Yang Family has already descended into chaos. Just wait a little longer, and once Yang Zhengang dies, my Sun Family will be able to replace the Yang Family and become the number one noble family in Tianhe City!"

True Person Zhang stroked his beard, proud and said, "Merely mortals afflicted by my Curse, naturally, they are not going to have an easy time. They probably haven’t even figured out what’s wrong with Yang Zhengang yet."

Sun Youcai gave a respectful bow to True Person Zhang, "True Person Zhang, your skills are extraordinary; truly admirable!"

It was at this moment that True Person Zhang suddenly felt uneasy, and immediately after, he felt a tightness in his chest. His face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Startled, Sun Youcai quickly asked, "True Person Zhang, what’s happened to you?"

True Person Zhang’s face turned ashen, his eyes filled with fear as he hastily stood up and said in terror, "My Curse has been broken, and this person has managed to trace its source back to me; this is the work of a true master!"

Sun Youcai was incredulous, "True Person Zhang, didn’t you say before that it was impossible for anyone to discover that the Curse was cast by you?"

True Person Zhang gave Sun Youcai a speechless glance and said, "Which is precisely why the one who broke the Curse is so terrifying. We must not linger here any longer, Patriarch Sun, until we meet again!"

With that, True Person Zhang fled without looking back.

Sun Youcai stood dumbfounded, completely bewildered.
