Chapter 259: Chapter 259 East Sea Descendant_1

About ten kilometers from the suburbs of Zhonghai City, there is a rather backward little village called Xiaohe Village. The village has been largely ignored by urban planning, so most of the villagers work in the city. Now the village is somewhat dilapidated. Apart from two small paper mills, the rest of the village is comprised of brick houses built in the nineties, devoid of any sense of urban civilization.

In the northeast corner of Xiaohe Village, there stands a rundown brick house which was ownerless due to a car accident that claimed the entire family years ago. The house had been decaying for several years and was almost never entered, with even the courtyard overgrown with wild grass.

Unknown to anyone, a man in his thirties had arrived at this decrepit courtyard a few days prior. He was dressed in black, with dark skin and the salty smell of the sea clinging to him, much like an old fisherman who spent his days out at sea on a fishing boat.

Today, the man in black was sitting on the worn-out sofa in the house. The electricity had been cut off for years due to unpaid bills, so there were no lights inside. The dusty windows let in very little sunlight, which made the whole room feel exceptionally dark and grim.

Moreover, the room was filled with a musty smell of decay. Most people would be scared off by this dark and decrepit place, let alone consider living here or even taking a brief walk-through.

But the man in black was not at all afraid of the decrepit house. He sat casually in the dark room, where much of the furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust. Next to him, there was an ancient-style porcelain vase.

At this moment, the man in black had his eyes closed, mumbling non-stop to the porcelain vase beside him in a low but rapid voice, as if reciting some kind of incantation.

As the man in black muttered, a plume of black smoke emerged from the vase. A skull with flowing black hair slowly materialized from the curling dark vapors and laughed with a gaping black maw, “Hehehe,” at the man in black.

“Ask your sister quickly, how things are going. The murderer who killed my father should be claimed by your sister today. When that’s done, I’ll be able to personally return to Shiyu Island to pay homage to my father,” the man in black said, seemingly unafraid of the skull that emerged from the vase as he spoke to it.

“Hehehe, master, please wait. I’ll contact my sister right now! But you’ll have to prepare a feast for us sisters today,” said the skull, baring its snow-white teeth in a sinister smile as it spoke to the man in black.

“No problem, as soon as the job is done, I’ll prepare the freshest flesh and blood for you two as an offering. Contact your sister now!” the man in black nodded and urged the skull on.

Therefore, to save her sister, the man in black had to take the remaining Soul Vessel with him.

“Since there is an expert involved, if we go now, we might just be courting death...”

“No, I can’t abandon my sister. We must strike now, take advantage of the enemy’s lack of attention, kill them, and rescue my sister,” the skeleton wrapped in black fog rapidly said, her form becoming more solid as she urged the man in black.

“Insolence! I don’t need you to tell me how to conduct my business!” the man in black curtly interrupted the skeleton’s plea.

His own thirst for revenge was no lesser than that of the skeleton, but now that someone capable of capturing one of his evil spirits had appeared, it meant his presence was exposed.

Even as a supreme Martial Artist, with another evil spirit in the bottle, he reckoned he would still struggle to beat the expert the Sun Family had enlisted.

If he went now, it would be like walking into a trap.

He had been able to endure ten years in the island nation, secretly learning the onmyoji’s secrets and treasures, proving he was far from simple-minded. Faced with this difficult situation, he didn’t act rashly, instead, he just frowned and pondered deeply.

“Sun Jin’an, you may have an expert on your side this time, and alone I can’t touch you, but don’t celebrate too soon. In the East Sea, we also have Martial Artists. Consider this a narrow escape. Another day, I’ll come to claim your life,” the man in black said, clenching his fist, slowly turning towards the direction of Zhonghai City.

“I have to rescue my sister. I can’t just leave. If she falls into their hands, they’ll use sunlight to kill her!” the skeleton shrouded in black fog urgently said to the man in black, her large skeletal eye sockets glowing with a thick red light.

“Your sister, we will come for her later, but not now. Otherwise, I will extinguish you right this moment!” the man in black said coldly, grabbing the Soul Vessel.

“Get back inside, now!”
