Chapter 2 Activating the Jade Pendant
One day later, in the evening, the setting sun cast a brilliant glow on the mountaintops, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Wearing a gray outfit and carrying a large black bag on his back, Beige appeared at the entrance of Liuye Village.
As he looked at the familiar surroundings, Beige took a deep breath and his eyes sparkled with excitement as he murmured to himself, "It's been three years, and I, Beige, have finally returned."
In his mind, memories from the past flashed by like a black and white movie.
Time flies mercilessly, and three years had passed in the blink of an eye.
Three years ago, Beige had just been admitted to university, and his family was celebrating for him. Little did they know that a disaster was about to strike.
On his way to the county to sell mountain goods and save up for Beige's tuition, his father was hit by a luxury car and died before he could even be taken to the hospital.
At that time, this news was like a bolt from the blue, completely shocking Beige. His father died a tragic death, and his dream of going to university was shattered.
In his anger, he found the culprit who had hit his father and demanded justice.
Little did he know that the culprit was a wealthy second-generation, backed by a powerful family, who didn't even bother to take him seriously. They casually compensated him with a few bucks, thinking that would settle the matter.
In a fit of rage, Beige accidentally killed the bodyguard of the wealthy second-generation, and was subsequently arrested by the police.
Under the pressure from that super influential family, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and imprisoned in the Netherworld Purgatory.
After entering prison, Beige's heart turned to ashes, and he was determined to die. In a suicide attempt, his blood soaked the jade pendant around his neck, activating the prohibition within it and granting him ancient heritage, as well as a pair of magical eyes - the Heavenly Dao Eyes.
The Heavenly Dao Eyes, as the name suggests, are the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, capable of seeing through all things in the world, including ghosts, monsters, and deities.
In addition, the ancient heritage encompasses various fields such as medical skills, Taoist arts, ancient martial formations, witchcraft, and spells, among others.
After obtaining the heritage, Beige was ecstatic. He believed that this was a sign from heaven, telling him to live on and seek revenge for his father.
Since then, Beige focused on studying medical skills, Taoist arts, ancient martial formations, and spent a year honing his skills. His reputation soared, and numerous high-ranking officials and military leaders came to him for treatment.
As a result, his sentence was no longer relevant. However, he was reluctant to leave the quietness of the purgatory, which was suitable for cultivation, so he had stayed there.
Today, he finally returned.
"Mom, little sister, from now on, I have the ability to protect you."
"Dad, rest assured, I will personally capture that wealthy second-generation and make him kowtow in front of your grave."
Beige whispered these two sentences softly, then took a step forward and walked towards the direction of his home.
Returning home, it was still the familiar courtyard, but it looked even more dilapidated than three years ago.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard a violent struggle coming from inside the house, accompanied by a girl's scream.
"Li Erniu, what are you doing? Let go of me! This is a crime, I will call the police and have you arrested..."
Smack!
A crisp slap interrupted the scream, followed by a low and obscene voice of a man.
"Beiqing, you bitch who refuses to drink the toast, I'll tell you, even if the King of Heaven himself comes today, he won't be able to stop me from doing you."
Beiqing was Beige's younger sister. At this moment, she couldn't care less about the burning pain on her face and shouted loudly, "Li Erniu, you beast, you will face retribution."
Rip!
The sound of clothes being torn could be heard, causing Beige's blood to boil and his anger to reach its peak.
Bang!
With a loud noise, he kicked open the door of the room, and the wooden door fell heavily against the wall, shattering into pieces.
Inside the room, two men were pinning down Beiqing, their faces filled with lewd smiles as they tore at her clothes.
Beige recognized the two men, they were the troublemakers in the village, Li Erniu and He Hongguang.
The sudden loud noise startled He Hongguang and Li Erniu, causing them to instinctively stop their actions and turn their heads to look at Beige.
"Brother!" Beiqing saw Beige and immediately screamed, "Brother, save me!"
At this moment, Beige's killing intent was revealed, his gaze sharp as a knife as he looked at Li Erniu and He Hongguang, and said coldly, "You are asking for death!"
Li Erniu and He Hongguang saw Beige and first froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Oh, isn't this the murderer? How did you come back? Did you escape from prison?"
With a cold and menacing gaze, Beige walked towards the room, and with each step, a gust of air would swirl on the ground.
The terrifying killing intent froze the air in the room, causing the temperature to drop suddenly.
Li Erniu, seeing that Beige dared to come in, became furious and charged at Beige with a knife in his hand, his face twisted with a sinister expression. "You, the murderer, dare to come in? Very well, even if I kill you, it won't be a crime!"
Bang!
Ah!!!
With a muffled sound, Beige kicked Li Erniu in the stomach, sending him flying and letting out a piercing scream in mid-air.
This scene stunned He Hongguang for a moment, then he shouted angrily, "Beige, I'll kill you!"
