Chapter 538 A Prophecy Appears Again


    In an eerie, dark mountain forest wrapped in a nket of swamp gas, Shen Lan walked alone, terrified.


    It seemed that there was not a living soul around.


    As she walked out of the forest, the path in front of her became bright and clear.


    In her line of sight was a stream. Water flowed through it, filling the air with a clear burbling sound.


    Beside it, stood a woman in a white shirt.


    Anyone would have been afraid to see such a woman, especially in this situation.


    Shen Lan looked at the woman who had her back to her and asked softly, “Who are you?”


    “Save me! Only you can bring him to save me!” The woman wept.


    “Who can save you?” Shen Lan asked.


    “Save me! Only you can bring him to save me!” The woman cried again.


    Then, the woman slowly turned around.


    Shen Lan widened her eyes at the scene before her.


    The woman’s face was pale with fresh blood gushing out of her eyes.


    “Ah!” Shen Lan screamed in horror.


    “What’s the matter, Shen Lan?” Chen Hao’s concerned voice rang beside her.


    At the sound of Chen Hao''s voice, Shen Lan started to calm down.


    Her heart was still pounding when she leaped into Chen Hao’s arms.


    Chen Hao asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”


    “Yes, a horrible one,” Shen Lan said flurriedly, “I dreamt that I was alone in a dark forest and then I saw


    a woman whose face was covered in blood. She told me to send someone to save her!”


    Chen Hao shook his head and said, “Perhaps there’s too much going on recently. You’re probably just


    exhausted. There is still some time left before the sunes out, so why don''t youy back down and


    rest? I’ll be by your side. Everything will be alright.”


    “I can’t fall asleep. Ever since I saw that nameless totem, I have this ufortable feeling deep down


    as if something bad is going to happen. Now that I think of it, that woman’s silhouette looked very


    familiar!” Shen Lan recalled.


    “Familiar?”


    “Yes, I told you before that I saw a stone figure resembling a woman on the nameless totem. Her spine


    was broken and she was sprawling on the floor. That stone figure looked really simr to that woman I


    saw in my dream!” Shen Lan said with a flushed face.


    “Don’t worry. Perhaps you were just spooked out by the nameless totem. It’s normal. Just rest for some


    more!” Chen Hao coaxed.


    Under Chen Hao''s persuasion, Shen Lan finally went to bed.


    Meanwhile, Chen Hao didn’t take this matter to heart.


    In the morning, the two got up and dressed themselves.


    Just then, a servant came over and said, “Young Master, the Master has ordered for everyone in the


    family to observe the Sun Totem again this morning. The Young Mistress has to attend as well.”


    Chen Hao nodded and replied, “Okay.”


    Indeed, Grandpa valued the Sun Totem greatly. Since yesterday, he had ordered everyone in the family


    to observe it.


    After all, the abilities of a person was limited. If more came to observe it, the possibility of discovering


    its secrets would be higher.


    Chen Hao understood that his grandfather was worried about the curse of the Sun Totem, and that the


    Chen family would meet its doom. Therefore,he constantly made preparations for it.


    In the early hours of the morning, the Chen Family gathered in arge chamber.


    Chen Hao and Shen Lan entered the chamber as well.


    It was aplete silence in the chamber. Everyone, including a three-year-old child, was silently


    observing the Sun Totem.


    Chen Hao’s grandfather and the others had long arrived and were observing it intently.


    At that moment, Chen Hao pulled Shen Lan along with him and sat aside.


    “Shen Lan, this is our Chen Family’s heirloom—the Sun Totem. If grandpa allows you toe see it,


    then you should take a good look at it,” Chen Hao whispered.


    “Okay!”


    Shen Lan nodded vigorously.


    Frankly speaking, the figures on the Sun Totem were abstract and it was hard to make heads or tails


    out of them.


    Meanwhile, Shen Lan’s mind was wandering elsewhere.


    Up until recently, she began to realize that Chen Hao was slowly epting her, which she saw as a


    good sign.


    As for the rest, it didn’t matter to Shen Lan anymore.


    At this time, she saw how concentrated Chen Hao was as he observed the Sun Totem, so she leaned


    forward on her arm and began observing the totem as well.


    After she stopped herself from daydreaming, her mind became more sharp and focused.


    Suddenly, Shen Lan frowned. “Huh?”


    She sat up straight as terror filled her eyes.


    “No! No!” Shen Lan clutched her head and screamed in horror.


    This scene gave a shock to everyone in the chamber.


    Chen Hao frantically asked, “Shen Lan, are you alright?”


    “Lan, what''s going on?” Chen Diancang stood up and walked toward Shen Lan.


    Terrified, Shen Lan pointed at the Sun Totem. “I saw… I saw…”


    She was too frightened toplete her sentence.


    Chen Diancang and Chen Hao exchanged looks.


    The father and son duo asked in unison, “What did you see?”


    Shen Lan looked at Chen Hao and cried, “I saw Chen Hao being killed!”


    She then burst into tears.


    Chen Diancang asked, “Killed? Lan, stop panicking! Tell us everything that you saw!”


    As a matter of fact, Chen Diancang had thought that his granddaughter-inw was well suited for Chen


    Hao the first time heid eyes on her.


    Of course, it was not only because of her looks and her air of elegance, but it was a gut feeling as well.


    Now, it was a surprise to him that she could understand the Sun Totem.


    Thereafter, Shen Lan narrated to them everything she had just seen.


    Just now…


    When Shen Lan was looking at the Sun Totem, the drawing on it suddenly changed.


    A strange scenario appeared.


    It was in a cavern where the sunlight could shine into.


    A tall stone tform stood inside the cavern.


    A small stream nearby bubbled and its sound echoed eerily throughout the cavern.


    A woman in a white shirt was climbing toward the stone tform.


    On top of the tform, a young man was strapped tightly in ce by five metal chains.


    Several people in terrifying masks were yanking on the chains and the young man’s body was pulled in


    five different directions.


    The young man was none other than Chen Hao!


    As the men pulled the chains, Chen Hao screamed in agony.


    No!


    Shen Lan wanted to run over and save Chen Hao, but her body waspletely paralyzed.


    St!


    Right then, Chen Hao''s body was torn apart with a disgusting st and blood started gushing out.


    Shen Lan couldn’t speak anymore. Her face was covered in tears when she finished describing the


    scene.


    “How is that possible? Lan, are you sure that it was Chen Hao?” Chen Jindong asked in disbelief.


    Chen Hao, on the other hand, looked somber.


    Even Chen Diancang turned pale from listening to her.


    Shen Lan pulled at her hair. “I don’t think this is a coincidence. I dreamt of her this morning and now I


    saw her again. This is no coincidence!”


    “The Sun Totem never lies,” Chen Diancang murmured anxiously.

    “This should be a prophecy that wille true soon. Chen Hao would be torn apart and it seems that


    he would be powerless against these men,” Chen Diancang said heavily.


    “Dear, this is impossible! Didn’t you say that Chen Hao is already a Grandmaster? Ordinary people


    wouldn''t be able to harm him!” Yang Yuping cried.


    Yang Yuping and Chen Xiao were terrified. Even Chen Diancang was shaking in fear.
