Chapter 243 Soul-Sealing Nails of Destiny_1

"This..."

Chen Yu’s father was completely stunned by the scene before him.

The cloth package had never been opened by anyone, not even he knew what was inside, but Yin Tian directly stated that it contained nails.

He even clearly stated the number of nails, which was utterly inconceivable!

"Yin Tian, what is this..."

Chen Yu’s father turned his head to look at Yin Tian.

"Hmph..."

Yin Tian let out a cold laugh, "Soul-Sealing Nails of Destiny."

Just hearing that name made Chen Yu’s father’s body shudder subconsciously, and he almost threw the nails in his hand away.

"It’s okay, don’t worry, these nails won’t affect the living."

Yin Tian spoke to comfort him, then continued, "These nails are meant to be hammered into coffins."

"There are seven in total, all of which are hammered on top of the coffin, effectively sealing the seven apertures of the spot. If left for a long time, it leads to the ruin and death of a family—a very sinister Feng Shui skill, which is now rarely used by anyone."

"Although Master Lu doesn’t have many impressive skills, he does possess some ability, having mastered such a technique."

Chen Yu’s father’s body trembled violently. Although he didn’t fully understand what Yin Tian was saying, he could understand the implications of a ruined and dead family.

"Is... all this really true?"

Chen Yu’s father’s voice trembled as he spoke.

He had never imagined that a mere ancestral ritual would suddenly turn into a matter of the Chen Family’s survival!

"Of course."

Yin Tian nodded slowly, smiling gently at Chen Yu’s father, "But you don’t have to worry now, the matter has been resolved."

Chen Yu’s father nodded subconsciously, then looked at Yin Tian with confusion, "But if he really wanted to do this, why didn’t he just come stealthily? Why did he have to pick the time when my family was paying respects to our ancestors?"

"Everything is predestined, the things he wanted to do wouldn’t be as effective without your approval."

Yin Tian answered enigmatically.

Chen Yu’s father didn’t speak, just nodded slowly.

"So, Uncle, you should think carefully about how Master Lu came to be here," Yin Tian said deliberately, "You have no grudges against Master Lu, yet he was willing to commit actions that would degrade his moral integrity, all to bring ruin and death to your Chen Family."

Chen Yu’s father hadn’t considered this until Yin Tian’s words awakened a shocking realization.

Chen Yu’s father suddenly turned his head to look at the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman trembled, her eyes filled with terror.

After Yin Tian’s reminder, Chen Yu’s father finally understood everything.

Since the kidnapping of Chen Yu, though the beautiful woman appeared worried, she still persisted in urging him to go to the ancestral tomb to perform the ritual.

And it was the beautiful woman who had specifically invited Master Lu.

If she was to say she had nothing to do with all of this, he would not believe it!

"What did you do this for?"

Chen Yu’s father clenched his fists tightly. Knowing the truth, he felt at a loss.

After all, everything seemed beyond belief.

The beautiful woman was his wife, and together they had a son.

But in the end, she wished to bring him to bankruptcy and death.

This was utterly unjustifiable!

The beautiful woman just slumped there, speechless, seemingly lost in thought.

"Speak! Speak to me!"

Chen Yu’s father rushed in front of the beautiful woman, reached out, and grabbed her collar, "What did you do this for?"

The beautiful woman’s face was pale, her eyes lifeless, as she gave no response.

Yin Tian stepped forward, approaching Chen Yu’s father, and gently tugged at his clothes, "If I were you, pressing her for answers would be useless. What’s truly useful is to find out if your son is truly your own flesh and blood."

Upon these words, the beautiful woman’s expression changed drastically.

Fear and panic flooded her eyes, "No..."

In reality, there was no need for verification anymore.

The reaction of the beautiful woman alone had proven that what Yin Tian said was true.

Chen Yu’s father’s body stiffened, and he slowly let go of his grip.

He staggered back two steps, his eyes hollow.

He had not anticipated that so much would transpire today.

He had been...

Raising another man’s child for nearly twenty years!

Chen Yu also watched her father with great concern.

And everything that happened today was beyond her comprehension.

"Sigh..."

Yin Tian shook his head.

He knew that for a man, receiving such news suddenly could overwhelm anyone.

"Let’s be going."

Yin Tian said to Chen Yu’s father.

Chen Yu’s father mechanically nodded, stood up, and stumbled away into the distance on his own.

Chen Yu’s face showed concern as she quickly followed after him, supporting her father as they walked down the mountain.

As for Yin Tian, he looked at the beautiful woman with a mocking smile on his face, "All your cunning plans, yet in the end, they’ve come to naught. How does that feel?"

"Remember..."

"If you don’t wish others to know, don’t do it yourself."
