"Master Lin, don't stop me. I must kill this bitch today!"
Duan Chenfeng was sent flying back five or six meters, landing steadily on the ground. He still wasn't satisfied and wanted to rush forward to kill again.
Uncle Lin, however, calmly advised, "Show mercy where mercy can be shown. Duan Chenfeng, you may not be able to survive tonight's calamity. Why create more bloodshed? It will only hasten your death!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Chenfeng's movements abruptly halted.
The blood-red color in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his reason returned. Duan Chenfeng then bowed respectfully to Uncle Lin.
"Master Lin is right. I will spare her life today!"
As Duan Chenfeng finished speaking, Ma Suyuan quickly escaped from Lin Shuainan's grasp and stumbled out.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, as Ma Suyuan crossed the threshold, she tripped and fell towards the ground, her forehead hitting the floor heavily!
"Ah!"
After a scream, Ma Suyuan fell completely silent, blood continuously oozing from her forehead!
Lin Shuainan was startled, "Damn, no way, so careless..."
As he spoke, Wu Bo, who had been silent beside them, squatted down and placed his hand under Ma Suyuan's nostrils.
He then looked up at Duan Chenfeng and shook his head with a solemn expression, "It's too late. Her skull is fractured, and she's no longer breathing."
"Dead?!"
Duan Chenfeng's eyes widened, staring at Ma Suyuan on the ground in disbelief!
After all, they had been married for two years. Although he had repeatedly vowed to kill Ma Suyuan, when she actually died, Duan Chenfeng felt a pang of unease.
However, this feeling of unease was something Duan Chenfeng could not accept.
He gritted his teeth and snorted, "Hmph, I said I would spare your life! Unfortunately, a wicked person will always meet their end! Heaven wants you dead, so don't blame me!"
"Tsk tsk, can't even get over such a low threshold? Ma Suyuan, you really died at the right time."
Lin Shuainan also sighed in amazement.
But Ling Feng and Uncle Lin exchanged a glance without a trace of expression, clearly having noticed something that others had missed!
"Duan Chenfeng, your wife is dead. This is not a good omen. The feng shui calamity has begun to take effect! More and more people will die from now on!"
Uncle Lin said with a chilling expression.
Duan Chenfeng trembled all over. He stood respectfully beside Uncle Lin and bowed repeatedly, "Master Lin, didn't you say there were two solutions before?"
This question drew everyone's attention to Uncle Lin.
Solutions, this was what everyone wanted to know now, especially since they were already in this old mansion.
"That's right, there are two solutions. Besides the difference in cost, their effects are also completely different."
Uncle Lin tapped his fingers on the nearby table.
"Oh, Uncle, don't talk about money. Lives are more important at this moment!"
Lin Shuainan urged.
Uncle Lin rolled his eyes at him before slowly saying, "Such a grand feng shui calamity array consumes a lot of cultivation. Throughout the world, besides me, no more than two people can resolve it!"
"Moreover, you won't be able to find those two people. Duan Chenfeng, you're a businessman, you should understand what core competitiveness is, right!"
Duan Chenfeng nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know. Master Lin, just name your price! As long as I can afford it, I'll give it to you!"
Uncle Lin waved his hand, "This master is not one to take advantage of misfortune! It's normal for a wealthy family like yours to give more money. Furthermore, it's the rule of my Lin family lineage. Of the income we receive, only one percent can be used for ourselves; the rest will be donated. This is also for you, Duan Chenfeng, to accumulate good karma!"
Duan Chenfeng nodded repeatedly, regardless of whether it was true or not.
Lin Shuainan, on the other hand, pouted. It was because of this rule that he always avoided Uncle Lin!
What a joke? With so much money, how could he just donate it all?
"Alright, since you've agreed, I'll tell you the solutions next!"
Uncle Lin finally agreed to speak.
"First, this feng shui calamity is centered around you, Duan Chenfeng, because you are the owner of the mansion! Therefore, I just need to alter your destiny and change your fate. Tonight at midnight, when the array's power erupts, it won't harm you in the slightest!"
Duan Chenfeng nodded with surprise and joy, "Heh heh, this is good, this is good! Master Lin, just name your price!"
"Don't rush, listen to it all first!"
Uncle Lin wasn't in a hurry to name a price and continued.
"The second method is for this master to expend his cultivation and risk his old life. Tonight, when the array erupts, I will break the formation! This will protect the lives of over two hundred people in your Duan family mansion!"
Duan Chenfeng was stunned and asked curiously, "Master Lin, can't everyone just leave? As long as they are not in the mansion, there won't be any problems, right?"
"No! Even if they walk to the ends of the earth, they are already bound by the calamity's power and will inevitably perish!"
Uncle Lin said with a deep voice, his expression grim, staring intently at Duan Chenfeng.
Duan Chenfeng hesitated again. The lives of over two hundred people, compared to his own life, the former would certainly require more financial expenditure!
However, Duan Chenfeng could not possibly watch over two hundred lives perish like this.
The choice between money and human lives made Duan Chenfeng very conflicted.
What made it even more difficult for Duan Chenfeng was that Uncle Lin simply wouldn't name a price.
"Master Lin, can't the formation be broken now?"
For some reason, upon hearing Duan Chenfeng's hesitant words again, Uncle Lin rebuked him, "Nonsense! If such a feng shui calamity could be broken in advance, why would anyone spend ten years setting it up? It can be broken now, but at least half the people here will die, and even I will suffer heavenly retribution for the calamity!"
Duan Chenfeng immediately shrunk his neck. Half the people dying at once – this was something he couldn't afford to gamble with!
"Alright! I choose the second option! Please, Master, save the over two hundred lives in my Duan family mansion!"
Duan Chenfeng gritted his teeth and made his final decision.
Uncle Lin breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
"Good! You still have some virtue! If you had chosen the first option, according to my Lin family's ancestral teachings, I would not have been able to help you break the calamity!"
Duan Chenfeng gasped in shock, realizing with great fear that this choice was a matter of life and death!
If he made the wrong choice, he could lose his own life!
Ling Feng nodded slightly. It seemed that these people from the Xuanmen, who could control such celestial powers, also had their own traditions.
Like You Kun, he would sooner or later suffer heavenly retribution.
And the Lin family's traditions – taking only one percent of the money, altering destinies and breaking formations, observing virtue – these were all methods to avoid disaster!
