Chapter 112: Siren’s Song (Three Updates)
Ming Yuan’s expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with terror.
“You… you…”
“How I knew, is that it?” Xue An said with a light smile.
Then he pointed towards the ocean in front of them.
“The feng shui of this island is not bad, but this place is a feng shui death trap. Not to mention the Ming Family, even an ordinary geomancer wouldn’t build the Sea Viewing Platform here, yet you alone did.”
“Therefore, there must be some unknown secret beneath this Sea Viewing Platform! Let me guess, something like… the Sea Eye?” Xue An said coldly.
Xue An’s words caused Ming Yuan’s face to change color repeatedly.
The crowd was similarly filled with shock and uncertainty.
After a moment, Ming Yuan sighed deeply, “I didn’t expect Mr. Xue, at such a young age, to be not only at a divine cultivation level but also so proficient in Feng Shui Numerology.”
Xue An listened expressionlessly.
“You are correct, beneath the Sea Viewing Platform indeed lies the Sea Eye!” said Ming Yuan lightly, a mocking smile appearing on his face.
“Initially, I had no intention of doing anything to you, after all, I need this resort as a cover. But now that you’ve uncovered it, I have no need to hide anymore! But you…”
Ming Yuan’s eyes flashed with ruthless malice, “today, not a single one of you will leave!”
With his words, a black mist rose from the ground, enveloping everyone within.
Ming Yuan laughed sinisterly: “I didn’t want to be so extreme, but now that you know my secret, don’t blame me. You’ll all become my puppets!”
As he spoke, a low female chant began to echo from underground.
The sound was soft at first, but gradually, it grew louder and clearer.
The expressions of many people began to grow vacant.
Ming Yuan laughed wildly with pride: “Xue An, I admit that your cultivation level is commendable for your age, but this isn’t something you can withstand with martial prowess alone. This is…”
“The Siren’s Song? And I thought it was something formidable,” Xue An said indifferently.
Ming Yuan was taken aback, “How could you… How could you possibly know of the siren? Who are you, really?”
Xue An raised his hand and smiled faintly, “Me? I… am Xue An!”
As he spoke, a ball of pure white flame appeared in the palm of Xue An’s hand.
No sooner did the flame appear than the black mist began to dissipate rapidly, just like snow melting under the sun.
As the black fog lifted, everyone immediately regained their senses.
Qin Yu yelled angrily, “You old thief! The Ming Family conducts itself in such a manner, aren’t you afraid of incurring public wrath?”
Not just Qin Yu, everyone present was incredibly enraged.
The idea that Ming Yuan wanted to turn everyone into puppets was intolerable to these haughty and privileged offspring.
Many were secretly relieved and looked towards Xue An with gratitude; if it weren’t for Mr. Xue’s timely actions, none would have been spared.
Ming Yuan’s face underwent several changes, eventually settling into a grim look, “I underestimated you. But do you think this is over? Do you know why I chose today to have you ascend the Sea Viewing Platform?”
Ming Yuan looked up at the sky and sneered, “Because tonight… is the night of the full moon!”
Everyone looked up in unison, indeed, a clear, bright moon was hanging in the sky, casting a veil-like glow that enshrouded everything.
“Feng Shui secret technique, activate!” Ming Yuan called out softly.
Silver lines suddenly appeared above the Sea Viewing Platform, intertwining into complex patterns, trapping everyone within.
At the same time, the beautiful silhouette of a creature gradually appeared before everyone’s eyes.
This silhouette had a woman’s upper body and a fish’s lower body.
Yet even so, it did nothing to diminish the beauty of the maiden.
Ming Yuan looked at the mermaid and chuckled coldly, “Kill them all!”
The mermaid’s face showed a hint of struggle, but ultimately, she helplessly bowed her head.
An ethereal chant began to rise, louder and clearer than before, and no matter if you plugged your ears or did anything else, the sound could not be blocked from entering your mind.
As everyone was shocked,
Xue An sighed softly, “You really deserve to die!”
His tone was indifferent yet seemed like a divine chant, instantly suppressing the sea monster’s singing.
Ming Yuan finally showed a change in expression.
Xue An took a step forward, “By using Feng Shui to harm others, you’ve broken the first rule!”
“Harboring ill intentions and exploiting secular power to satisfy personal desires! You’ve broken the second rule!” Xue An took a second step.
“By relying on the Feng Shui Secret Technique, you’ve imprisoned a peaceful sea monster to profit from it; this is the third rule you’ve broken!”
Standing in the center, Xue An spoke indifferently with his hands behind his back, “You’ve broken all three rules, Ming Yuan, do you acknowledge your guilt?”
Laughing triumphantly, Ming Yuan said, “Xue An, it’s useless to say those things. This Feng Shui Secret Array is an ancient inheritance I stumbled upon. No one in this world can break it. Without the method to break it, even a Daluo Golden Immortal would be trapped and die here, and you and these people are all as good as dead!”
Everybody’s face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
Some disbelieving people tried to walk out but couldn’t touch those silver threads at all.
Ming Yuan chuckled, considering Xue An and the others already dead in his eyes.
But at that moment, Xue An smiled.
“Did I say I was going to break it?”
Then Xue An raised his gaze to Ming Yuan, “Any skill, in the face of absolute power, is a joke! You didn’t understand that simple fact!”
Saying that, Xue An stamped his foot fiercely.
This Sea Viewing Platform, the island, and even the vast ocean itself, all trembled mightily under that stomp!
And those silver-threaded mystical formations instantly started to unravel.
Ming Yuan’s face showed horror and despair, “No, this is impossible… this is ancient…”
He didn’t get a chance to finish his sentence, as the backlash from the broken Array consumed him.
In an instant, the Ming Family Feng Shui Master aged from a white-haired elder to a rapidly withering old man.
Soon, he turned into a skeleton that scattered with the wind.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
And then, the sound of crying drew all eyes to it.
The mermaid was weeping.
And the tears she shed were actually large pearls.
Now they understood where Ming Yuan’s pearls came from.
This revelation shocked many people.
The tears of this sea monster were pearls, which was practically like a money-printing machine!
No wonder Ming Yuan went to great lengths to suppress it.
At this moment, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian moved closer.
During the recent struggle, Xue An had shielded the two of them with a secret technique.
He didn’t want his two precious daughters to be harmed in the slightest.
“Daddy, is that the mermaid sister?”
Xue An nodded and smiled gently, “Yes, it is!”
“Then why is the mermaid sister crying?”
“Because… she misses home!” Xue An said softly.
The mermaid shuddered, lifted her beautiful eyes to look at Xue An, and then her lips parted slightly, “Immortal, save me!”
