Chapter 549 The Rusted Blade

Chen Fan coughed lightly, inexplicably finding Dark Night’s words quite reasonable.

If it was about revenge, then one should look the part.

Chen Fan reminded, "You're emitting too much malevolent energy like this. You'll scare the little kids by the roadside!"

Dark Night frowned upon hearing this, "Then should I tone it down?"

"Whatever!"

Dark Night listened to Chen Fan and retracted her cold aura from before.

The next second, she was like a different person.

Chen Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this woman’s mood changes faster than flipping a book!

Now, Dark Night’s eyes were alluring, every move incredibly seductive, "How about now?"

Chen Fan felt a headache coming on, "Be more normal!"

Dark Night scoffed, "Hmph… so unromantic!"

Thus, led by Dark Night, they arrived at the outskirts of Jinmen.

There stood an abandoned courtyard overgrown with weeds, a desolate scene of desertedness.

"This is my former home!"

Dark Night spoke, a mist forming in her eyes, but not a single tear fell.

Chen Fan could tell that Dark Night’s past experiences were indescribable.

Perhaps, "tragic" couldn't encompass it all.

Dark Night sat on the threshold, gently caressing it, and softly said, "Back then, I used to sit here and chat about life with my parents. It’s a shame it all turned into a fleeting dream, and things have changed beyond recognition!"

"Alas…"

Dark Night was filled with sorrow, a thousand words reduced to a sigh.

In life, one inevitably experiences things that one can and cannot do.

After staring blankly for over an hour, Dark Night stood up and approached the withered tree in the courtyard.

She unleashed a palm strike. The palm energy of the Grandmaster realm directly struck the trunk, breaking it.

The next second, a knife appeared in the middle. This knife, eroded by time, was already covered in rust…

Upon seeing it, Chen Fan's eyes widened with surprise, "This knife…"

Dark Night pulled out the rusty knife and said word by word, "It was this knife that took my parents' lives back then!"

"How can revenge today be without this companion?"

Chen Fan understood and said no more.

Dark Night gazed at the rusty knife in her hand, her eyes becoming incredibly sharp, "Yu family, you schemed and calculated, but you never imagined I would return!"

She raised her hand and pulled out a piece of black cloth, wrapping the entire blade.

From the outside, it gained an air of mystery.

"Alright, we can go to the Yu family now!" Dark Night adjusted her state with the utmost speed.

Chen Fan nodded.

They hailed a car and arrived in a lush, green mountainous area.

The nearby mountain was the renowned Jinmen Mountain of Jinmen. Backed by mountains and fronted by water, with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, it was a place of excellent feng shui.

That’s right, the Yu family was hidden deep within the mountains of Jinmen…

The reason for hiding the Yu family here was twofold: first, to utilize the auspicious feng shui to ensure the Yu family’s perpetual prosperity, and second, to remain secluded and maintain the mystery of a distinguished family.

They appeared and disappeared without a trace; ordinary people could hardly find them.

"This Yu family is truly well hidden!"

Chen Fan quipped, comparable to his own time in Niutou Mountain.

Dark Night snorted, "To put it bluntly, it's all for showing off!"

Chen Fan chuckled.

As they walked, soon their path was blocked by a dense patch of trees, and the way forward vanished.

Without a word, Dark Night took the rusty knife from her back and slashed fiercely.

Instantly, a terrifying surge of internal energy shot from the blade. The next second, rows of trees before them were cut down… If ordinary people had witnessed this, they would have been utterly terrified…
