<h4>Chapter 1255: Chapter 1255</h4>


    The howling wind blew, sweeping up sand and stones.


    The surrounding trees were bending under the force.


    Yet despite the fierce wind, it couldn’t budge the incense candles.


    The life-extending red candle continued to burn, the wisps of sandalwood smoke rising unaffected to the sky.


    Most terrifying was the immense golden seal on the gate behind, flickering in and out of view.


    The gigantic talisman resembled a g, billowing in the wind.


    The golden light it emitted was like countless cold rays, dispersing all the surrounding gloom.


    Numerous winds converging from all directions could only whirl a hundred meters away.


    They formed small whirlwinds, swirling countless fallen leaves.


    "He’s using the powerful energy from the sealing talisman on the gate to keep the yin spirits at bay, too cunning."


    "At this moment, he can’t move. Should we take this opportunity to kill him?"


    "Are you stupid? Interrupting the life extension technique, he’d surely fight you to the death."


    "So just watch?"


    "Think it through; the life extension technique is a heaven-defying spell. Once used sessfully, it will naturally leave him very weak. Act then..."


    "Damn, you’ve got all the wicked ideas, let’s wait then!"


    "If someone actster, should we help?"


    "We’ll see!"


    In the darkness, dozens of eyes were fixed on Lin Yifan’s every move.


    But within the formation, he couldn’t afford to be distracted.


    His hands constantly moved, performing spell gestures alongside chants.


    Suddenly, a thunderbolt streaked across the sky, directly striking the center of the needle technique’s red candle.


    Defying fate vites the will of heaven, for if the red candle extinguished, the life extension technique would bepletely wasted.


    "If heaven wants me dead, I’ll fight against heaven!"


    Lin Yifan, suddenly opening his eyes, bit his tongue.


    Spitting a mouthful of vital blood, it turned into a blood sword, falling onto the red candle.


    Apanied by lightning shing, the life-extending red candle suddenly erupted with mes several meters high.


    shing against the Power of Heaven and Earth, it grew stronger instead of weaker.


    "Boom!"


    A loud noise echoed through the vast forest.


    The fierce wind stopped instantly, and the stars hid behind the clouds.


    Only that red candle continued to burn.


    Lin Yifan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked towards the pitch-ck forest.


    He could feel many people over there watching him.


    "The spell isplete, are you still not going to act?"


    Since thest encounter with the Water Monkey, his mother had secretly told him that both his grandfather and father mentioned there are experts hidden in the vige.


    Lin Yifan always suspected the murderer of his father was among them.


    Unfortunately, they hid themselves too well, making it hard to find them.


    Thus making it impossible to discern who killed his father.


    So, he’s decided that no matter who emerges now, he would consider them all enemies.


    Just as those people were itching to move, preparing to show themselves, a silhouette suddenly shot out from nearby.


    "Yifan, are you done?"


    Shirtless, Little Niu smiled foolishly at him.


    He didn’t forget to turn around and nce at the dark night.


    "The wind’s tight, let’s scram!"


    Seeing the vige guardian appear, those initially intent on acting instantly panicked.


    The power he harbored was not something they could handle.


    They could only retreat, finally disappearing into the dense forest.


    Feeling the dozen or so figures swiftly vanish, Lin Yifan smiled and patted Little Niu’s head.


    His body staggered somewhat, as he was actually at the end of his strength.


    After all, even for the Heavenly Doctor, defying fate requires an immense effort.


    Thankfully, seeing his mother’splexion improve made him breath a sigh of relief.


    "Yifan, how’s Auntie?"


    At this moment, the incense that Xu Fengxian and Dong Jiufeng held had also burned out.


    Feeling them burn their hands, only then did the two open their eyes.


    At this time, the mother leaning on them was asleep with closed eyes.


    "It’s done, her body is now adapting to the new yang energy, she’ll sleep for at least three days. This time not only seeded in extending her life but extracted forty years of longevity from those two. Guess these wretched people haven’t done any good deeds!"


    Lin Yifan reached out to lift his mother, cing her in the car’s back seat.


    "Sis, did you hear anything just now?"


    "I didn’t hear anything, how about you?"


    "I think I heard the wind and some thunder, that’s it."


    "Same here!"


    The two women in the back seat continued exchanging insights.


    They hadn’t heard any sounds just now.


    "That was because Little Niu was nearby, those yin spirits didn’t dare to approach, thus there was no opportunity to seize life."


    Lin Yifan gripped the steering wheel, watching Little Niu in the rear-view mirror.


    Running as fast as flying, he turned a corner and vanished once more.


    "Since when does Little Niu have such a skill, even capable of warding off evil spirits? But you said Auntie’s gained another forty years of longevity, yet there isn’t much change. I thought she’d look a bit younger."


    Xu Fengxian asked, puzzled.


    "Extending longevity and fortune isn’t like a miracle cure, there can’t be too much change. But once I refine the elixirs, there should be some improvement. However, tonight’s events must not be mentioned to outsiders, our vige is not safe."


    Lin Yifan parked the car and took his mother out from the back seat.


    The next three days, she would remain asleep.


    Once she wakes again, the life extension process will be trulyplete.


    "With the life extension techniquepleted, what will it feel like over there?"


    Xu Fengxian curiously inquired.


    "Their sensation will be quite significant..."


    Lin Yifan squinted, his smile full of meaning.


    ......


    Thousands of miles away, in a certain upscale residential’s bridal suite.


    Qian Jiahao suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.


    That feeling of his soul being drained caused him to stagger and fall to the ground.


    "Husband... why am I so tired?"


    Su Man was dazed, she had been energetically dancing.


    But now she felt she couldn’t even open her eyes.


    "I don’t know either..."


    Qian Jiahao had intended to enjoy the night’s pleasures.


    But now the fatigue left him without the strength to lift his hand.


    "Maybe it’s because the wedding was too exhausting... perhaps... let’s just rest tonight?"


    Though tired, Su Man had to please him to enter the "big family".


    Qian Jiahao had no choice, and they both turned over to lie on the bed.


    But upon waking, a scream echoed in the bedroom.


    "My hair... my face... what’s happened!"


    In just one night, Su Man’s hair fell out in clumps, and her rapidly aging face left her at a loss.


    "I... there’s... something wrong..."


    Qian Jiahao felt weak all over, barely able to move and gasping for breath.


    "Husband, what do we do? What’s going on!"


    Su Man clutched Qian Jiahao’s arm.


    But seeing her aging face, he couldn’t resist pushing her away.


    "Auntie, stay away from me..."


    "You’re calling me Auntie... I’ll fight you..."
