"You monster, release my Second Grandpa."
Zhang Kai was furious, glaring at the black mist.
The yellow weasel reappeared, its cold eyes provocatively fixed on Zhang Kai, and one of its claws pressed against Second Grandpa's neck.
Zhang Kai's face turned dark.
What an audacious bastard.
With a change of hand seals and a Buddhist chant, a golden swastika appeared, surrounding him.
The yellow weasel screeched and retreated behind Second Grandpa. Then, Second Grandpa began to wail in agony.
"It's burning, it's burning! Don't shoot me, please don't shoot me!" Second Grandpa cried out in pain.
Zhang Kai: "..."
He quickly suppressed his inner energy, and the golden light disappeared.
Second Grandpa pleaded in terror, "San'er, let me go, please, I'm in so much pain, really."
Zhang Kai stared at Second Grandpa without expression.
"Second Grandpa, this monster harmed you. I can't let it go."
"It's karma, karma. It was a mistake I made years ago, and now it's time to pay for it. You can go. It's Second Grandpa's mistake, and it has nothing to do with you."
Hearing this, Zhang Kai's eyes became strange, and he suddenly laughed, "Impressive, you're quite extraordinary, nearly fooled by you."
After saying that, Zhang Kai burst out with his inner energy, changed his hand seals, and the golden light and Buddhist chants resounded once more.
With a single palm strike, a golden palm print flew straight toward the black mist.
A loud bang, and half of the entire building was shattered.
The black mist instantly dispersed into fragments, amidst its screams, a phantom of a yellow weasel vanished.
At the same time, a figure appeared, and it was Second Grandpa.
At this moment, Second Grandpa was looking at Zhang Kai with a smiling face, a look of contentment in his eyes.
"Second Grandpa."
Zhang Kai murmured.
"Good child, you did well," Second Grandpa praised with a smile.
Zhang Kai's spirit shook, and he asked excitedly, "Is it really you?"
"Of course, it's me. But how did you see through the fake me just now?" Second Grandpa asked with a smile.
Zhang Kai said, "Begging for mercy isn't Second Grandpa's style. You once told me that to stand firm, one must be ruthless. In front of you, a wild animal is just a wild animal. Killing it and eating its meat should not lead to any guilt. That yellow weasel simply doesn't understand you."
Second Grandpa smiled in satisfaction, "Very good. It seems that my teachings weren't in vain. But looking at you now, you've received quite an extraordinary inheritance, able to vanquish demons and evil spirits."
Zhang Kai was about to reply when he suddenly noticed that Second Grandpa's figure was becoming somewhat ethereal. He became anxious and waved his hand, summoning the Divine Sealing Scroll.
"Second Grandpa, don't say anything. Let me seal you as a god first, so you can endure and we can chat slowly."
"No need," Second Grandpa suddenly refused.
Zhang Kai was taken aback. Second Grandpa continued, "I appreciate your kindness, but in my life, although I haven't harmed people, I've killed quite a few animals. My hands are stained with blood. That yellow weasel you saw earlier, it once brought disaster to the village, causing chaos and misery. I led hunting parties several times to deal with it. It held a grudge against me and bit to death the chickens your Second Grandma raised, making her sad for many days. In a fit of anger, I wiped out its entire family. However, I never expected that this creature had some supernatural abilities. It set a trap for me back then, almost catching me. Now, it has turned into a demon seeking revenge. But I have no regrets about what I did back then. I killed it when I killed it. Its ability to seek revenge is its own affair."
With a smile, Second Grandpa added, "And, your Second Grandma has been waiting for me for a long time. We made a promise of three lifetimes, and now that I'm gone, she must be missing me. I want to go find your Second Grandma. What's the point of staying here as a god? How can I enjoy my days by her side if I don't?"
"But..."
"Don't argue with me. This is my choice. If you dare to trick me, I'll have unfinished business with you." Second Grandpa stared at Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai sighed helplessly.
The grievances and enmities of the previous generation were something he, as a younger generation, knew little about.
"Well, I'm leaving now. San'er, you've accomplished great things compared to us. Seeing that there's a successful person in the Zhang family, I'm content. After my body is cremated, bury me next to your Second Grandma. That would complete my life. Ah, your Second Grandma is coming to pick me up."
As he spoke, Second Grandpa's eyes seemed somewhat distant, as if he saw something. A happy smile appeared on his face. However, his soul gradually dissipated and disappeared.
Zhang Kai's hands were trembling. He couldn't help but want to seal Second Grandpa as a god, even if it made Second Grandpa angry.
But the Divine Sealing Scroll had no effect.
Was it because Second Grandpa wasn't qualified to become a god?
Damn it, he was brought back by me. I can seal whomever I want. Why the hell isn't it listening? What's the use of you, then?
Watching Second Grandpa's soul dissipate, Zhang Kai's anger surged, and he tore the Divine Sealing Scroll in his hand into two pieces.
However, the divine light remained, showing no change.
Zhang Kai was dumbfounded for a moment. He let go of the two halves of the Divine Sealing Scroll, and they flew back together, becoming intact once more.
Unable to damage it, huh?
Was the rule protecting it?
Zhang Kai looked at the sky with cold eyes.
The sky was azure, with white clouds drifting leisurely, showing no abnormalities.
But the power of destiny hidden in the depths of the universe was suppressing any unauthorized actions.
Zhang Kai was filled with mixed emotions and gradually felt powerless.
Even with a golden finger, what could he do?
In the face of the rules, even the mighty gods and buddhas who could move mountains, fill seas, and achieve immortality had fallen.
How could an ordinary person like him defy the rules?
I need to become stronger.
Only by becoming stronger and acquiring more abilities can I protect my parents and family.
Not like this, feeling powerless and helpless.
After regaining his composure, Zhang Kai walked out of the damaged building. The mountain breeze was refreshing, and the grass and trees swayed gently, presenting a picturesque mountain scene.
His gaze was directed toward a certain direction.
Yanwang Gou.
It was a forbidden area in Hu Zi Mountain, rumored to be a place with numerous deaths, lurking with demons and monsters, and once you entered, you wouldn't come out.
Since it was Second
Grandpa's last wish, he must fulfill it.
The next target: Yanwang Gou.
