"I don't know, that's what it said," the Town Chief replied.

He was innocent, too. Last night, he was sleeping soundly when suddenly the Mountain God visited him in his dream, truly giving him a scare.

"No way, don't come to disturb us, or don't blame us for being rude," Lin's father said fiercely, his expression unfriendly.

Seeing this, the Town Chief and the other accompanying villagers were at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Just then, Lin Yifan stepped forward and said, "I will go with you."

"Son! What are you doing? Are you really intending to march to your death?" Lin's father asked, his face filled with incomprehension.

He knew his son was a Psychic, blessed with special abilities. Probably the Mountain God had taken an interest in him for this very reason, which was why he had been singled out. This was clearly a sign of ill intent.

However, before he could respond, his daughter-in-law Xiaofang also stood up and said, "I will go with you too!"

"Why are you making a fuss about this as well? This is absolutely not to be done, do you understand?" Lin's father tried to persuade, somewhat worn out, not understanding why his son and daughter-in-law were intent on courting disaster.

"Dad! I know what you are worried about. But that Buddha on the mountain has harmed many, and today, I intend to act in Heaven's stead to vanquish it and return peace to Qingshi Town!" Lin Yifan explained.

Hearing this rebellious statement, the Town Chief and the other villagers became angry and then criticized him one after another, saying, "The Mountain God has protected our Qingshi Town generation after generation. Where does it say that it has harmed us? It seems you two are the real calamities of Qingshi Town."

"Exactly! The Mountain God has protected our Qingshi Town for generations, blessing us with favorable weather and bountiful harvests. How could it become the villain who harms us? It's simply unreasonable."

Lin's mother couldn't stand it any longer, and she too came over to accuse him, "Son! You must not profane the Mountain God, or you will incur divine retribution. Quickly apologize to the Mountain God and seek its forgiveness."

"Mom, you've been brainwashed; I don't blame you. But don't try to brainwash your son, okay? Your son is educated and worldly; he never believed in these demons and ghosts. So please, do not interfere, okay?" Lin Yifan asked.

She was his birth mother; he didn't dare to curse her, so he could only try to persuade her gently.

"You are my own son; I cannot stand aside! By offending the Mountain God, you will enrage it. When it uses its mana to punish you, what am I to do?" Lin's mother asked, a look of extreme grief on her face.

"Sigh!" Lin Yifan sighed, feeling a sense of powerlessness and dismay; trying to awaken those whose thoughts were deep-seated was nothing but looking for trouble, a completely thankless task.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Yifan resorted to force; he knocked his mother out with a slap, allowing her to rest for a while.

"Dad! Please take care of Mom for me. No matter what, I am going to eradicate that 'Mountain God' in the mountain behind; so, don't try to stop me," Lin Yifan, having delivered his unconscious mother to his father's care, instructed.

"Sigh!" Lin's father sighed as well, feeling helpless.

Although his thoughts were the same as Lin Yifan's, believing that the 'Mountain God' at the mountain was not benevolent, he still didn't want his son to go to his death.

However, his son had made up his mind, and he had no way to change it; he could only let him go.

Thinking about Lin Yifan being a Psychic, a bit more hope and confidence suddenly surged in his heart. He believed that his son was no fool and would not engage in anything without assurance.

"Hmph! Arrogant and conceited, how dare a youngster like you provoke the Mountain God? You really don't know what's good for you."

On the other side, the Town Chief sneered coldly, yet he was extremely angry inside.

Just now, Lin Yifan had insulted his mother, which was tantamount to insulting all those who worshipped the buddha of the back mountain as the Mountain God. Just thinking about it made him angry. If it weren't for the fact that Lin Yifan had defeated the Zheng family's gang two days ago and shaken the whole Qingshi Town, they would have taught Lin Yifan a lesson long ago; they wouldn't have let him bluster till now.

"Why should I fuss so much with an ignorant person? Lead the way, stop wasting words here," Lin Yifan said with a face full of disdain, also feeling a bit unhappy in his heart.

His mother gave birth to him and raised him, so she has the right to scold him. What right do these outsiders have to criticize him?

"You... who are you calling ignorant? Do you believe that I will teach you a lesson today on behalf of our ancestors, you unfilial descendant?" the Town Chief questioned.

"Who do you think you are? Are the matters of our Lin family also something you, an outsider, can manage?" Lin Yifan challenged.

"The Lin ancestors, after all, had a life-and-death friendship with our Chen ancestors; they're like one family. By scolding me like this, you're as good as insulting your elders. I will beat you to death, you unfilial scion." Having said that, the Town Chief led the crowd to teach Lin Yifan a lesson.

However, Lin Yifan simply uttered a single word, which made them all tumble and fall, retreating in disarray.

"Scram!"

With this shout, a forceful energy surged out, and all those who attempted to attack Lin Yifan were knocked down, or sent flying uncontrollably, unable to stand firm.

At this moment, these people's faces were filled with shock. With Lin Yifan uttering just one word, they all fell to the ground. Such a powerful aura was truly formidable; no wonder he dared to defy the Mountain God.

On the other side, Lin Yifan's father was also surprised; this was the first time he had directly felt Lin Yifan's strength, it was so formidable, and now he felt relieved.

"Considering that we are all fellow villagers, I won't hold this against you. But if you dare to offend again, I will surely take your lives," Lin Yifan threatened harshly, intimidating everyone present.

The Town Chief knew well that they were no match for Lin Yifan, so he had to let the Mountain God deal with this brazen, ignorant scoundrel.

Afterward, they dejectedly led the way, no longer daring to show any annoyance.

Lin Yifan was a veritable God of Killing; he didn't care about any relations the ancestors might have had. Plus, as time passed to this generation, the relationships within the family had also gradually grown distant. Despite sharing the same surname, everyone led their separate lives, with hardly any connection to speak of. To invoke the ancestors in dealing with a powerful person was simply courting death.

Lin Yifan had Xiao Fang stay behind to protect his parents and Zhou Jiajia—and the others, considering the current precarious situation. He was very concerned that this group of people, whose thoughts had been corrupted by the Mountain God, might return to harm his unarmed family members. Thus, to be on the safe side, he could only ask Xiao Fang to stay behind.

Xiao Fang's first instinct was to refuse because she was worried about Lin Yifan going alone. However, Lin Yifan's concerns were not unreasonable, so she found herself struggling to make a decision.

"Don't hesitate, trust me, I'll be fine," Lin Yifan persuaded.

"But your Realm is too low, I'm worried about you going alone," Xiao Fang expressed her concern.

Lin Yifan was only at the Breaking Mortal Fifth Realm, and although his martial arts could barely reach the Middle Stage of the Divine Transformation First Realm, if the Mountain God's Realm was much higher than his, it would be troublesome.
