Chapter 848: The Secret of the Villa

"Apologies, to enter here, one must have the consent of Xie Yu the Asura," said Daoba.

"You need to get this straight: I am the mistress of the Chen Family, and Xie Yu is nothing more than a dog raised by the Chen Family." Qiu Yanfang coldly cast a glance at the man, her body erupting with the imposing aura befitting a mistress: "Move aside."

Dabaolian's expression was gloomy, but he still had no choice but to turn and clear the way.

There was only one civilian house in the courtyard; the house was not large, with green bricks and green tiles, looking extremely ordinary.

However, after entering the interior, there was a secret chamber here leading underground.

"The secret that has puzzled you for over twenty years is all here; go down and take a look," Qiu Yanfang said indifferently.

Chen Anyi nodded, and just as he was about to step down, a black shadow suddenly lunged over; this figure's clothes were tattered, and they were disheveled and filthy.

"Careful." Chen Anyi hurriedly blocked in front of Qiu Yanfang, and with a thud, the figure collided with him.

Chen Anyi already had internal injuries, and this collision sent him flying; he lay on the ground, unable to react for a long time.

Two bodyguards rushed in from outside, pinning the madman who had suddenly charged out from left and right, and dragged the person away.

"Stop," Qiu Yanfang suddenly said sharply: "Let me see who he is."

The bodyguards exchanged a look and stopped helplessly; Qiu Yanfang looked at this madman whose appearance was almost unrecognizable, walked forward, reached out with a pale face, hesitated repeatedly, but gritted her teeth and pushed aside the madman's hair.

A dirty but familiar face appeared before her eyes; Qiu Yanfang almost collapsed, and she hissed: "Qiu Tian, is it you? Why is it you?"

Qiu Tian, her younger brother, had been missing for many years; although they had not met for twenty years, she recognized at a glance that it was the brother she had grown up with, relying on each other for survival.

When her brother suddenly went missing, she searched like a madwoman but found nothing; she thought he was no longer in this world, and she had never come to the Chen Family Villa all these years, but she had not expected her brother to have been here the whole time.

"How did you let him run out?" Just then, Daoba hurried over.

"Give me an explanation." Hatred erupted from Qiu Yanfang's eyes: "Why is my brother here?"

"This is the decision of the Heavenly Mandate elder." Daoba bowed slightly.

"Heh, is he doing this to keep me in check? So he turned my only brother into a madman?" Qiu Yanfang's eyes were bloodshot, and she roared hysterically: "What did he do wrong? Why treat him like this?"

"Apologies, I am merely acting on orders." Daoba waved a hand, and Qiu Tian was taken away.

Qiu Yanfang burst into tears, all her pride and spirit collapsing in an instant.

"My father is the type of person who would scheme against his own biological children and grandchildren for his own sake, let alone you, an outsider," Chen Anyi said, clutching his chest as he finally recovered.

"Indeed, he would even scheme against his own biological sons and grandsons, let alone me. To think I believed I controlled everything in the Chen Family; heh, it's truly laughable." Qiu Yanfang laughed, and as she laughed, her tears fell: "Let's go, I will take you down."

After walking down a full six meters and opening several doors, they finally reached the true destination.

A massive secret chamber appeared before Chen Anyi's eyes; in the center of the chamber stood a huge pillar, and a giant three-headed snake was coiled around it.

The giant snake was lifelike, appearing as if it were winding around the giant pillar, its three heads opening their blood-red maws, and fresh blood dripped from time to time from the teeth exposed outside.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew, and one could see several painful faces suddenly emerging on the stone pillar carved with the giant snake; these faces were souls, souls sealed into the stone pillar, and the stone pillar was filled with a sinister aura, with no telling how many dead souls were locked within it.

The giant snake suddenly moved, its two eyes erupting with terrifying light, and then it let out a hiss, wanting to pounce on Chen Anyi, but because of the restraint of the stone pillar, it could not touch him.

Yet the gaze it fixed on Chen Anyi radiated waves of evil intent, as if it could not wait to tear Chen Anyi apart and devour him alive.

"What is this?" Chen Anyi was stunned for a long time; the impact of everything before him was too great, and he could not react for a moment.

Moreover, he could feel that there seemed to be some kind of connection between himself and this giant snake; it seemed to be impatient to devour him.

"I don't know. I came here when the Chen Family Villa was first built; at that time, the craftsmen had just begun." Qiu Yanfang's expression was equally shocked; she had not been to the Chen Family Villa for decades and had never known that such a thing was hidden underground.

"Let's go." Chen Anyi frowned; a feeling of danger suddenly surged in his heart. He already knew the secret, but he did not know what this thing was; they had to go back first and then make plans.

"Heh, since you've come, don't think about leaving." As a voice came, Xie Yu was seen walking over slowly, with that Daoba following behind him.

"Xie Yu." Qiu Yanfang's expression changed abruptly: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Everything I do is by the order of the Heavenly Mandate elder." Xie Yu smiled faintly: "Chen Anyi, aren't you curious about what this is? Let me tell you: this is the 'Heaven and Earth Creation Art'."

"What is its purpose?" Chen Anyi stared at Xie Yu, remaining calm.

"It inherits the Heavenly Dao from above and connects to the Nine Netherworlds below, using souls and fresh blood to nourish it, growing stronger day by day to condense the Three-Headed Mysterious Snake, and then using the fresh blood of the caster's blood relatives as a sacrifice, the caster's strength will then improve," Xie Yu said indifferently.

"The caster is my father?" Chen Anyi said coldly: "Nourished by souls and fresh blood for so many years, the Mysterious Snake has already taken shape? And then using the fresh blood of me or my brother and others as a sacrifice, his, Chen Tianming's, strength can rise step by step, am I right?"

"You are not wrong." Xie Yu smiled slightly: "That is why I did not stop you when Qiu Yanfang brought you here today. Furthermore, once this array is complete, it can use the fortune of one's own descendants as a guide to make the caster grow continuously stronger."

"Heh, so Chen Tianming gave birth to us just to make himself more powerful? In his eyes, there has never been such a thing as family affection." Chen Anyi suddenly understood, a cold sneer appearing on his face: "To think I called him father for so many years. Good, ruthless, truly ruthless. What are you going to do next? Kill me?"

"The timing to kill you is not yet ripe; your son must also be present. The Heavenly Mandate elder defied the Heavenly Mystery to create a person with the Purple Star Emperor Fate; now that his fate has awakened, if it is not controlled in time, it will be impossible to control him later."

Xie Yu smiled slightly and pointed his right hand; Chen Anyi stumbled backward, and the stone pillar emitted a ray of light, sucking Chen Anyi onto it, after which the giant snake moved its massive body, impatient to bite down on his head.
