Chapter 211: Chapter 66: Sudden Realization

The former self was the village’s hope, but when he returned home for a visit, he killed Lin Yuan on a whim. In this world, human life is truly as worthless as wild grass.

Lin Yuan reexamined Duan Yong in front of him, seeing the other’s trembling, pitiable appearance, he couldn’t help but sigh.

At this moment, he could kill with a wave of his hand.

And in this world, how many people could be wiped out by a mere wave of his hand?

How many people could doom him with just a single thought?

Deep in his heart, Lin Yuan kept shouting, "My fate must be controlled by me!"

Now he wanted to control his own destiny. He didn’t want to let someone else decide his future; he had to take control of it himself.

Since that’s the case.

Lin Yuan’s gaze filled with killing intent. Suddenly, his right palm dropped downwards, aiming at Duan Yong’s forehead.

Duan Yong only felt an overwhelming shadow suddenly appear. His vision went black, and his consciousness instantly plunged into darkness.

Bang!

Duan Yong’s head seemed to be crushed under Mount Tai, the entire head sinking into his chest, making his chest swell abruptly, looking grotesque.

Beside him, Jiang Yu’s body trembled uncontrollably from the sound, and upon seeing his brother-in-law reduced to a puddle of mud, his heart was filled with terror.

He looked at the young man before him with a pale face, as if witnessing the Reaper that ruled over his life and death.

"Brother! Ah! You’ve killed him, you’ve killed him."

Duan Xian suddenly screamed, wailing in agony. This was her own brother, watching helplessly as he died miserably on the spot, her hateful eyes looked at Lin Yuan, wishing to tear him to pieces.

"You demon, you deserve a cruel death!" Duan Xian screeched, suddenly leaping up, opening her mouth to bite at Lin Yuan.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan gave a cold snort.

Swoosh!

Taking a step forward, he suddenly appeared next to Duan Xian.

"Noisy!"

His large hand pressed down on the woman’s head, giving it a gentle twist.

Crack.

Duan Xian’s neck twisted at a bizarre angle, drooping down, while her screams came to an abrupt stop.

Plop.

Lin Yuan released the woman’s body, taking two steps forward.

As Duan Xian’s body went limp, everyone present stared blankly at Lin Yuan’s indifferent demeanor.

It wasn’t for anything else but Lin Yuan’s decisiveness that they were shocked.

Among them were those who had participated in the Moon-Embracing Tower battle, knowing the raging and bloodthirsty nature hidden beneath Lin Yuan’s thin frame. Because of this, they held great respect for him.

But some Martial Artists were unaware of the past events.

In their impression, Lin Yuan was always mild-mannered, proficient in alchemy, and as long as given enough respect, he never refused to concoct pills for them.

But now seeing him kill Duan Yong and Duan Xian, his decisiveness in action was without a shred of hesitation. Especially the moment he killed Duan Xian, the murder intent he exuded, made them feel a chill in their hearts.

In the field, there was also another person equally shocked.

Cao Qin, seeing Lin Yuan kill for the first time, knew Lin Yuan was a martial genius, practicing martial arts for killing; otherwise, what would be the purpose of practicing martial arts.

He originally planned to find a chance to demonstrate to Lin Yuan that when acting, one should have no reservations; otherwise, if not killing others, one might fall victim to a villain’s scheme.

But now he extinguished this thought; Lin Yuan’s composed demeanor was far more decisive than he had imagined.

Everyone had different thoughts, but Lin Yuan’s steps didn’t stop.

Weeds must be uprooted, otherwise endless troubles will follow.

Lin Yuan’s eyes, calm as death, fell on Jiang Yu.

Slap!

Jiang Yu immediately knelt, tears and snot flowing.

At this moment, he finally remembered who this person was.

The matter the Hong family asked him to investigate was related to this person, Lin Yuan from Bull Horn Village. He thought the other party was just a nobody, but didn’t expect his status to be so high.

Duan Xian and Duan Yong were dead, and so be it. But he still had plenty of time to continue surviving.

"Elder Lin. Elder Lin." Jiang Yu couldn’t help but plead loudly, kowtowing fervently, the sound echoing on the ground.

"This humble one is wrong. I shouldn’t have disclosed your information, shouldn’t have told you about the anomaly, please forgive me, I was forced." Jiang Yu, seeing Lin Yuan approaching step by step, was extremely terrified, incessantly pleading and crying.

"Anomaly?"

Originally indifferent to the matter, Lin Yuan’s steps paused immediately.

"Someone is investigating the anomaly? What’s the situation?" Lin Yuan’s calm eyes bore a hint of gloom.

And everyone present was also shocked upon hearing this. Jiang Yu seemed to be investigating matters related to Lin Yuan, the key is their Pei family had no awareness of it.

Why investigate the anomaly?

What kind of person stands behind it?

Pei Zeqi and Pei Zhanglu exchanged a glance, both looking grim.

"Tell me everything you know." Lin Yuan’s expression was equally grave as he asked in a low voice.

"Yes, yes." Jiang Yu hastily raised his head, "Actually, this humble one received favors from the Hong family."

Granted amnesty, Jiang Yu spilled everything he knew.

By the time Jiang Yu had finished explaining everything, Lin Yuan stared at him intently, "You mean, the Hong family has always been investigating, and those people are related to the anomaly?"

"Yes. The investigation has been going on for a long time. And some time ago, Duan Yong told me about your situation, so I reported it, and that’s how I got away." Jiang Yu looked at Lin Yuan with fear, not daring to hide the truth.

At this moment, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but clench his teeth.

"The ghost is searching for me!"

"His goal is me!"

"It always has been!"

Lin Yuan was shocked to his core.

For the first time, he was truly shaken at heart.

And now, he had to face that old monster from the Hong family! That ghost in Yanghua is not for any other purpose, but has always been searching, truly aiming to find him.

Lin Yuan realized.

For a monster like that, he currently didn’t have much confidence.

Clearly, the ghost is linked to the mysterious woman, wanting to find clues about her from him.

There was one thing he was very clear about.

He had cultivated to this level, yet didn’t know what methods that mysterious woman had used.

Her movement technique was too ethereal. Even after reaching the Aperture Realm, he couldn’t find any trace of her moves in his memory.

Too mysterious, too powerful.

Lin Yuan knew his realm was still too low; there was a long road ahead.

Now, what the mysterious woman was involved in, he couldn’t know. But clearly, the series of causes and effects she brought had already affected him.

The ripples it caused, with the slightest misstep, would lead to his doom.

Even if he was just a pawn at the lowest level, he couldn’t escape their notice.

"It won’t take long for others to reach the pinnacle, so why can’t I?"

After these thoughts, Lin Yuan gradually calmed down.

He wanted to develop steadily, but now it seemed impossible.

The ghost sought him, what force was at work? What was the identity of that woman? What was the reason behind it all?

Questions flooded Lin Yuan’s mind, all these answers were for future him at a higher level to uncover.

Lin Yuan no longer let the future’s fear affect the present, his gaze returned to Jiang Yu’s face.

At this time, everyone was still immersed in their own thoughts.

The next moment.

"Heh heh."

A strange laugh suddenly resonated beside everyone’s ears.
