Chapter 50: Far-reaching Plans (Part 1)
"Grandpa, I've healed the flower, Grandpa!"
In the quiet night, Jiang Yuebai entered the courtyard, holding the flowerpot.
The grand formation swept over her as intense battle sounds suddenly erupted.
"Tao Fengnian, if you dare to kill me, my big sister won't let you off!"
"Then I'll kill Jia Xiuchun as well!"
A strong wind rushed towards her. Jiang Yuebai, alarmed, tightly protected the flowerpot. A half-cut blade brushed against her face, embedding itself in the wooden door, resonating with a trembling echo.
With bloodstains on her face, Jiang Yuebai saw the chaotic scene in the courtyard.
Tao Fengnian, his eyes bloodshot, seemed like a madman, ferociously wielding the lock-scythe. The blue bricks shattered, and the battle was intense.
Jia Wei, holding a broken sword, rolled and crawled, continuously tossing exploding talismans. His body was covered in wounds from the lock-scythe, a pitiful sight.
Jiang Yuebai, suddenly entering the scene, gave Jia Wei a glimpse of hope. She swung down the broken sword in his hand and released the last two fireball talismans.
Boom! Boom!
The fireballs exploded in the air, causing Tao Fengnian to stagger backward. Gasping for breath, he was already at the end of his strength.
Jiang Yuebai had protective talismans on her body, and the courtyard's defensive array wouldn't hinder her.
"Yuebai, go quickly!"
Tao Fengnian panicked, and Jia Wei made a sinister move.
Jiang Yuebai protected the flowerpot, dodging continuously. With one hand, she activated the wolf-patterned armor on her arm and used the blue rock shield to defend.
Sparks flew, and the blue rock shield was repeatedly shattered. Her body, already weakened by the loss of essence and blood, was no match for Jia Wei, who was at the ninth level of Qi cultivation, both in speed and strength.
"He won't live even if you save the flower. Ever since he swallowed the insect, he was doomed to die!"
Back against the courtyard wall, Jiang Yuebai had nowhere to retreat.
Hearing Jia Wei's words, her mind shook. What did he mean? Was everything a plot by Jia Wei to harm her grandpa?
In a moment of distraction, Jia Wei's eyes turned vicious. He reached out to choke Jiang Yuebai's neck, intending to control her. Tao Fengnian would be no threat if she was under his control.
In a critical moment, the sound of chains echoed, a blade pierced flesh, and hot blood splattered on Jiang Yuebai's face. She snapped back to her senses.
Jia Wei, impaled by the scythe through his shoulder blade, was pulled forcefully by Tao Fengnian. Jia Wei flew and fell to the ground, breaking apart rocks and soil.
"Tao Fengnian, I'll make sure you have a miserable death!"
In extreme pain, Jia Wei, like a mad dog, broke free from the chains. Tao Fengnian fell, lacking the strength to get up.
"Watch carefully; I'll cut this brat piece by piece in front of you!"
"Yuebai, run!"
Jia Wei, turning viciously, three thorn seeds carried a chilling wind towards Jiang Yuebai. Before they landed, they transformed into thorny vines, rushing like a gust of wind to entangle Jia Wei.
Sharp thorns pierced the skin, and the cold entered the body, freezing the blood. Jia Wei, covered in frost, moved sluggishly.
Pfft!
A dazzling silver light, a spear pierced through the howling wind!
Jia Wei's eyes widened in horror as blood gushed from his throat. Jiang Yuebai, with both hands gripping the spear, was full of hatred, as if she wanted to swallow him alive.
"No... impossible..."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly pulled back the spear, and blood sprayed out. Jia Wei, in shock, collapsed to the ground, his face still showing extreme astonishment.
Tao Fengnian, equally shocked, couldn't come to his senses for a long time. In the end, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.
His own revenge, in the end, was avenged by this girl. He was truly powerless.
"Grandpa!"
Jiang Yuebai was about to rush over to check on Tao Fengnian's condition when a strange talisman suddenly emerged from Jia Wei's body. It carried a faint white light and swiftly shot towards the outside of the courtyard.
"No! His soul is escaping!"
Tao Fengnian was in a hurry, struggling to get up.
The green light burst out from Jiang Yuebai's brow, forming a palace lantern-like barrier in front of the white light talisman. A phosphorescent fire swept through, the talisman burned, emitting a scream of extreme pain.
Little Green viciously rushed forward, tearing apart the talisman to devour Jia Wei's soul. It transformed into Jiang Yuebai's spiritual consciousness in the sea of knowledge, allowing the small wheat seedling to grow vigorously.
Tao Fengnian collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Jiang Yuebai rushed over to support him.
"Grandpa, don't be afraid. I'll take you to the sect's physicians now. They will surely find a way."
Tao Fengnian held Jiang Yuebai's hand and shook his head slowly. "It's too late, my girl. Grandpa doesn't have much time. Will you listen to Grandpa for a moment?"
Tears streamed down Jiang Yuebai's face as she vigorously shook her head. "I won't listen. I won't listen to anything. I'll wait until you're better before you tell me anything."
Tao Fengnian wiped away Jiang Yuebai's tears, looked at the bloodstains on her body, and struggled to cast a purification spell to clean her.
"Sorry, Grandpa wasn't sincerely scolding you that day, and Grandpa never blamed you. Grandpa was just... too afraid of death and didn't want you to see Grandpa in a miserable state."
Jiang Yuebai continued to shake her head, refusing to accept the reality. She tried to pull Tao Fengnian up. "Grandpa, don't say anything. Let's go find someone. There must be someone who can help you..."
Tao Fengnian's vitality rapidly dissipated, his face turning pale. He used his bloodied hands to take out a medicine bottle and a storage bag, pressing them into Jiang Yuebai's hands.
"Lifespan Extension Pill. Grandpa is destined not to enjoy it. Go back, don't owe anyone because of Grandpa. In the storage bag are Grandpa's savings from these years, your flying core boat, Grandpa's lock-scythe, smoking pipe, and the defensive array flag for the courtyard. Take good care of them. These are what Grandpa can leave you with... just these!"
"I don't want them. I want Grandpa to live..." Jiang Yuebai let the medicine bottle and storage bag fall from her body, holding onto Tao Fengnian tightly.
"There's one more important thing. After Grandpa dies..."
In the quiet night, Jiang Yuebai entered the courtyard, holding the flowerpot.
The grand formation swept over her as intense battle sounds suddenly erupted.
