Chapter 720: Chapter 720 - 682: You Don’t Have to Take Action for an Old Fool Like Me
"Stop! You witch, where did you learn this witchcraft? You’ve deceived our Yun Family!"
This furious roar came from Yun Cang, who had finally broken free from the restraints set by Mrs. Lan.
He rushed towards Mrs. Lan but arrived too late, watching wide-eyed as the sword in her hand descended towards the Old Island Master’s neck. He was consumed with horror and fear.
However, at that moment, someone else looked even more horrified and terrified than he did—Mrs. Lan.
She suddenly discovered that the sword in her hand was not responding to her will. It was positioned incredibly close, merely a paper’s breadth from the Old Island Master’s neck, yet no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t move it forward even a fraction of an inch.
"What’s happening? Why can’t I..."
Mrs. Lan stared at the sword in her hand, incredulous.
"My great-grandfather is already a dying man. He will settle the karma between you and the Yun Family with his death, but he should not die by your hand."
Xiaosuisui’s voice suddenly came from the side, capturing everyone’s attention.
She slowly approached them, and pinching the sword from Mrs. Lan’s hand between her forefinger and middle finger, she gently moved it away from the Old Island Master’s neck.
"Sui... Suisui!"
Shock filled the Old Island Master’s heart! His face flushed with guilt!
Xiaosuisui stood opposite the Old Island Master, calmly meeting his gaze.
"Grandfather! Let Seventh Uncle take you back to rest first!"
The Old Island Master managed a bitter smile. "You didn’t have to intervene for an old man like me. You..."
"Stop. I intervened not because you are my great-grandfather, but because you transferred all your Power into me. That created a karmic bond between us."
Xiaosuisui cut off what the Old Island Master was about to say. It wasn’t that she was being disrespectful; it was simply that the old man’s life was truly nearing its end.
She placed an Elixir into the Old Island Master’s mouth.
"This Elixir can sustain you for another three hours. If there’s anything you want to tell the granduncles and the others, please say it quickly!"
After Xiaosuisui finished speaking to the Old Island Master, Ji Youzhi stepped forward. He removed his outer robe, draped it over the Old Island Master, then picked him up and strode towards the Yun Family’s Main House.
Watching the Old Island Master and Ji Youzhi slowly move away, Xiaosuisui’s gaze suddenly turned to Mrs. Lan, who looked resentful and was posturing to strike at the Old Island Master again.
"Don’t even think about it. My great-grandfather needs these three hours. I won’t let you disturb them."
Xiaosuisui waved her hand and declared, "Break!"
Instantly, the younger members of the Yun Family were freed. Those who previously could neither move nor speak were now able to do both.
"I can speak!"
"And I can move!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Lan couldn’t help but look aghast.
"How is this possible?! You’re just a toddler! How can your Power be so profound?"
Xiaosuisui gazed upwards. This was karmic destiny. Before entering the Array of Heaven, her great-grandfather had said that the array held something she needed.
Indeed, after she entered the Third Level, she came to an Enlightenment about her mouth, which, though often unrestrained, always produced miraculously effective results.
Later, while in there, she also sought Enlightenment on the Zen of silence. Just as Ah Ling had said, she understood its underlying principles and also learned how to utilize and control it.
She had transformed this ability to communicate with and command all things into the Power of True Words.
Thus, as long as she infused specific words with a certain degree of this power to command all things, they would naturally form the Power of True Words.
"You don’t need to concern yourself with how high my Power is. Right now, you should be thinking about how you’re going to explain this Witch Power of yours."
Mrs. Lan didn’t answer, instead immediately assuming a defensive stance.
Xiaosuisui wasn’t in a hurry. She took the opportunity to speak to the granduncles and cousins of the Yun Family. "Elders and older brothers of the Yun Family, please go to the Main House first! I believe my great-grandfather has many things he wants to say to you."
Yun Cang’s eyes were fixed on Mrs. Lan, his face contorted with hatred.
"Eldest Granduncle, please go see Great-grandfather first!" Xiaosuisui advised. "With me here, even if she is the Great Wizard of Nanjiang, she won’t be able to escape."
Upon hearing Xiaosuisui’s words, a visible crack finally appeared in Mrs. Lan’s composure.
"Did I hit the mark? The Great Wizard of Nanjiang!"
