Chapter 236: No Offense to Ancestors

If the members of the Fan family truly cared about him, then how could they fail to recognize him when he laid out his Feng Shui layout in the Fan family? The Fan family is heartless and unscrupulous!

Fan Jiang’s body trembled slightly as he looked at Fan Guizong with some heartache.

When Fan Guizong spoke these words, it was clear that he was indeed his brother’s son.

With a soft sigh, Fan Jiang said, "You, child... While the grave mistake has not yet been made, you should turn back now."

He had secretly visited Fan Lu several times. After all, that was his own younger brother. To say he had no regrets over the years would be a lie.

But now, upon reflection, he had nothing to regret!

The fact that Fan Lu had raised his son like this showed that he had never realized his own mistakes. If Fan Lu had not been removed from the family tree back then, he might have caused even more harm to the Fan family.

Although the Fan family was now facing retaliation, they had always been upright and had not offended their ancestors in any way!

Upon hearing this, Fan Guizong raised an eyebrow and said, "Turn back? How can I turn back?"

"Isn’t it easy to turn back?" Second Master Fan hurriedly said, "As long as you solve this headless corpse formation, my elder brother will let you and your father return to the family tree."

Fan Jiang immediately frowned and said, "Shut up!"

Fan Guizong chuckled and said, "See, this old man won’t let me and my father return to the Fan family!"

The members of the Fan family became anxious and tried to persuade Fan Jiang one after another.

It was just a matter of adding a few strokes to the family tree. What was so difficult about that?

Fan Guizong now held their lives in his hands. At this point, what use were family rules?

Fan Guizong didn’t want to hear any more of their complaints. He glanced at the many members of the Fan family, took out a dagger, and threw it to the ground.

"I don’t even want to return to the Fan family now!" he said arrogantly, lifting his chin and speaking in a commanding tone. "Here’s the deal: anyone who wants to live should pick up the dagger and stab Fan Jiang."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was shocked and looked towards Fan Jiang.

Fan Jiang wasn’t surprised, as if he had already expected this.

Second Master Fan immediately stood by his father’s side and said angrily, "What... What are you saying?"

Fan Shizhong also scolded, "You must be crazy!"

Some members of the Fan family were also furious and immediately ordered the guards to rush forward and snatch the heads from Fan Guizong’s hands.

Although he was alone, there were more than twenty guards from the Fan family. Could he still resist them?

Following orders, they rushed forward from all directions to attack.

Fan Guizong stood still without moving a step.

He lifted his eyes, took out several talismans from his hand, and ignited them. As the flames passed, the guards who had just approached were suddenly hit by something heavy, and their bodies flew out as if struck by something.

Bang, bang, bang...

Several people fell to the ground!

Then, with a few cracking sounds, the bones of those guards shattered, blood flowing from their seven orifices, and they suddenly lost their breath!

Fan Jiang quickly shouted, "Stop advancing!"

After shouting, he panted heavily.

Fan Shizhong quickly supported someone.

He frowned tightly at Fan Guizong. "How dare you create such sinister talismans!"

Fan Guizong smiled sinisterly, his eyes bloodthirsty. "If I didn’t have powerful talismans to protect myself, how could I dare to come alone? Hurry up, you only have half an hour."

After speaking, he placed the heads on the ground.

One guard ran out to report, but as soon as he left the courtyard, a red light flashed, and it seemed that something pierced through his body. Suddenly, several bloody holes appeared on his body.

He screamed in pain, kneeling on the ground, and then slowly fell down.

Seeing this scene, the people of the Fan family were suddenly terrified, their faces pale, not knowing what to do for a while.

Second Master Fan’s tongue was tied. "You... What... What have you done?"

"Fan Mansion is just surrounded by a formation," Fan Guizong said leisurely, "Anyone who tries to escape will die."

Upon hearing this, many members of the Fan family were already trembling with fear. Some timid younger generations were already clutching their parents’ sleeves, crying and saying they didn’t want to die.

Voices rose and fell continuously.

Fan Jiang understood that Fan Guizong only wanted to vent his anger for his father. He broke free from his son’s support and stepped forward, trembling.

He asked, "If all the clan members stab me, will you spare them?"

"Of course, I am a man of my word," Fan Guizong’s eyes glittered with madness as a fierce smile spread across his face. "Whoever stabs you, I will spare them!"

Fan Shizhong was both shocked and anxious. "Father, you can’t!"

Fan Yunxi in the crowd was even more anxious and hurried forward. "Whoever dares to hurt grandfather, I will fight them to the death!"

At this moment, the members of the Fan family had various thoughts. They remained silent but glanced at each other, trying to gauge each other’s choices.

"Xi’er, go pick up the dagger," Fan Jiang said firmly, "You go first."

"Grandfather!" Fan Yunxi’s eyes quickly filled with tears as she shook her head. "If you want me to hurt you, I would rather die."

"Nonsense, this is my own grudge," Fan Jiang had already endured for a long time, his face slightly pale. He was already at his limit, but for the sake of his clan, he had to persevere. He took a deep breath and said, "If sacrificing myself can save hundreds of people, I have no regrets!"

Immediately, many members of the Fan family looked sorrowful. Although they wanted to live, they couldn’t bring themselves to stab their respected old ancestor. They really couldn’t do it!

But the situation was different for the servants and guards of the Fan family.

They were not members of the Fan family. Now that they were trapped here by a madman, they had to stab Fan Jiang to save their own lives!

A servant ran over and picked up the dagger.

Fan Shizhong immediately shouted, "What are you trying to do?"

"Master, even the old ancestor has this determination. Why are you still stopping us? Do you want so many people to die here?" the servant questioned.

Fan Shizhong looked embarrassed.

The members of the Fan family might not be able to do it, but these guards and servants were different. They were innocent.

Fan Jiang’s voice was firm. "Step aside, all of you!"

"Father..."

"Grandfather..."

"Old Master..."

Many people tried to stop him.

Fan Jiang walked out, though his steps were unsteady, his face was resolute.

Fan Shizhong glanced around at the people inside and outside the main hall, sighed, and did not stop him anymore. He closed his eyes and couldn’t bear to look.

Seeing this, the servant gritted his teeth and suddenly stepped forward, holding the dagger high, ready to stab Fan Jiang.

The blade gleamed with a cold light in the moonlight.

Fan Jiang straightened his back, unafraid of life or death.

Fan Guizong’s mouth widened, more excited than ever.

As the blade came within an inch, there was suddenly a loud bang, followed by an explosion of red light, and several holes appeared in the barrier formation around the mansion!

Even the air seemed to tremble.

Everyone was puzzled.

But Fan Guizong couldn’t be unaware. His face flashed with surprise and panic.

The formation he set up had been smashed through several holes.

If a few more were broken, his murderous formation would be broken!

Who on earth had the ability to do this?!
