As Old Wang was about to collide with the Copper Coin Sword, a sudden shout rang out from outside: "Father!"
Wang Wei rushed over, panting heavily. "Father!"
He reached the red rope and tugged at it. "Father, you need to go back!"
Daoist Yu shouted, "Don't touch the red rope!"
But it seemed Wang Wei didn't hear him, pulling at the rope with all his might.
The bells on the red rope emitted a piercing sound.
Wang Wei's face was filled with panic. "Father, hurry up and leave!"
Old Wang was jolted awake by the sound of the bells, straightening up to look at Wang Wei. "My son..."
Wang Wei rushed over to support him. "Father, let's go home."
Daoist Yu charged forward with the Copper Coin Sword raised. "Wang Wei, don't move!"
Yet Wang Wei seemed oblivious, helping Old Wang move forward.
Daoist Yu swung the Copper Coin Sword towards them. "Wang Wei, don't blame me!"
Wang Wei's face was anxious, beads of sweat dotting his forehead.
"Father!"
"Father! You're going to kill my father!"
Wang Wei grasped the red rope tightly as the bells clanged noisily.
Daoist Yu was startled. "Don't move!"
Wang Wei's eyes turned red. "What do you want from us?"
Daoist Yu's expression darkened. "What have you done?"
Wang Wei glared at him. "Let my father go!"
Daoist Yu looked at him. "Do you know what your father is now?"
Wang Wei was taken aback and fell silent.
Daoist Yu pointed at Old Wang. "He is a Living Dead!"
Wang Wei snorted coldly. "You're talking nonsense!"
Daoist Yu took a deep breath. "If you untie the red string now, the formation will break."
Wang Wei stared at him. "I don't care!"
"Just let my father go!"
Daoist Yu was so angry he started stomping his feet. "You..."
Wang Wei glared back at him. "If you don't let him go, I'll burn the red string!"
Daoist Yu looked at him, his expression complicated.
Wang Wei turned to glance behind him.
Old Wang seemed to have regained his senses.
He sat by the well, looking around.
Daoist Yu whispered, "You need to leave quickly."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to leave later."
Wang Wei remained silent and walked straight back.
He approached Old Wang and gently patted his shoulder. "Dad, let's go home."
Old Wang was still rolling his eyes.
Upon hearing his words, he suddenly stopped moving.
He reached out and grabbed Wang Wei by the neck.
Wang Wei did not dodge, continuing to call out to him, "Dad, let's go home."
Old Wang let out a hoarse sound from his throat.
But his hand slowly loosened.
At that moment, Daoist Yu suddenly raised the Copper Coin Sword and thrust it towards Old Wang's chest.
Old Wang emitted two hoarse sounds.
Then he collapsed and rolled into the well.
Wang Wei was momentarily stunned before rushing to the edge of the well to look down.
"Dad!"
He turned and glared at Daoist Yu. "Did you kill my dad?"
Daoist Yu remained silent.
Furious, Wang Wei lunged at him. "You owe me my dad!"
Daoist Yu was knocked to the ground by him.
He struggled to get up but was pinned down by Wang Wei.
At that moment, Grandfather rushed out from the courtyard.
He held a wooden stick tightly in his hand.
Rushing up behind Wang Wei, he raised his hand and swung down hard.
"Smack!"
Wang Wei stumbled from the blow and fell to the side.
Grandfather did not give him a chance to react and swung down again.
At this point, Wang Wei was completely silent.
Daoist Yu got up from the ground.
He took the Peach Wood Sword out of the box and hung it on the well.
Then he told Grandfather, "You need to keep the Peach Wood Sword hanging here for the next few days."
"It will take seven days before we can burn the peach wood and pour it into the well."
Grandfather nodded, seemingly understanding.
Daoist Yu packed his things, slung the box over his shoulder, and left.
Grandfather hurriedly took a couple of steps after him. "Master Yu, about this..."
Daoist Yu walked away without looking back.
Grandfather sighed and turned to look at Wang Wei on the ground. He had been struck by Grandfather twice and was now motionless.
Grandfather kicked him with his foot. "Wang Wei?"
Wang Wei did not respond.
Grandfather squatted down to check his breath.
His expression changed suddenly. "Oh my goodness!"
