The neighboring villagers were rendered speechless by Lin Yifan's reasoning, because his point was indeed valid — if Lin Yifan truly intended to flee, they would be powerless to stop him.

After a while, they responded, "Fine! This is your claim, if you cannot present a satisfactory answer in three days, you shall burn yourself to death!"

Having said that, the neighboring villagers turned to leave, intending to spread the word about today's events far and wide.

But just then, the middle-aged man who urgently sought the Mountain God's aid became agitated and stepped forward to berate Lin Yifan angrily, "You killed the Mountain God, what about my son? Give me back the Mountain God!"

"What happened to your son?" Lin Yifan furrowed his brows and asked curiously.

He had killed the Mountain God, but what did that have to do with this man's son?

"My son was bitten by a Poisonous Snake, his eyes are now white, his body convulses, he foams at the mouth, and he's nearly gone. Now that you've killed the Mountain God, you've essentially cut off my son's last hope. I won't let you off," said the middle-aged father fiercely.

Lin Yifan was speechless, feeling like an innocent bystander getting shot; he then asked curiously, "He's poisoned, so why not seek medical treatment and get vaccinated instead of asking for the elusive Mountain God's aid? Aren't you joking?"

"You think I don't want to? The thing is, there is no vaccine for this type of snake poison," replied the middle-aged father.

He was driven to this desperate measure; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have offered the Immortal the cow from his homestead that was worth tens of thousands.

After hearing this father's response, Lin Yifan finally understood his difficulties and then commanded, "Bring your son up here and let me have a look."

"What's the use of showing you? You're not an Immortal." The middle-aged father retorted angrily, extremely infuriated.

"If you still want your son to live, then bring him here and cut the nonsense!" Lin Yifan rebuked, visibly annoyed as well.

If it weren't for pitying the other party, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved at all.

The middle-aged father hesitated for a moment but decided to bring his poisoned son forward.

Now that the Mountain God was dead, hoping for the Mountain God to save his son was impossible; so, it seemed better to take a chance on Lin Yifan possibly saving his son.

Then, he carried his son, who was foaming at the mouth and barely clinging to life, up to Lin Yifan.

Lin Yifan crouched down, then took the poisoned young man's right hand to check his pulse.

Seeing Lin Yifan acting professionally, the neighboring villagers couldn't help but scoff.

"He really thinks he's an Immortal, able to cure snake poison."

"Exactly, all for show, clearly not up to any good."

"If he can save this boy, I'll jump into a manure pit."

"That man is foolish, not believing in the Mountain God but trusting a villain who killed the Mountain God, ridiculous."

........

Lin Yifan ignored the crowd's jeers. He quickly determined how deep and potent the poison in the young man was.

The snake poison in this young man wasn't very potent, which is why he had survived this long; although the toxicity was not very strong, having spread over an extended period, the poison had already seeped into his organs. Without prompt treatment, he would likely die soon.

Lin Yifan did not hesitate for a moment, immediately circulating Qi to heal the injury.

Since it was poisoning, he decided to fight poison with poison, after all, there was no poison more potent than the "Serpent Spirit Qi." Thus, he placed his palm against the young man's, releasing the Serpent Spirit Qi within his body to force out the poison inside the young man.

Seeing Lin Yifan using palm-to-palm method to save his son, the middle-aged father felt skeptical and wanted to intervene.

However, as he took a step forward, he saw his son suddenly turn over and vomit a mouthful of purplish-black liquid, the identity of which was unknown.

"What have you done to my son?" he asked anxiously, sensing something was wrong.

At that moment, the neighboring villagers started to stir the pot, "Need you ask? It must be another murder. You are foolish to let this great sinner tend to your son."

"Exactly, can a person who killed the Mountain God be good?"

But no sooner had they finished speaking than they were proven wrong.

After spitting out the liquid, the poisoned young man's complexion improved instantly, and he stopped convulsing and foaming at the mouth, looking like a changed person.

"Dad! I'm all right now." The young man spoke up, smiling broadly and in high spirits.

Watching this scene, the previously mocking villagers said in disbelief, "How is this possible? How could he cure snake poison?"

"Why wouldn't it be possible? You think my brother is like you fools, only good at ridiculing the virtuous and worshipping the Mountain God? It's terrifying how ignorant you are!" Little Lian stood out to slap these muggles in the face.

She had long been displeased with these malicious people.

The villagers from the neighboring village were at a loss for words, the truth indeed was that Lin Yifan had saved the poisoned young man.

On the other side, after hearing his son assure that he was fine and seeing his improved complexion, the middle-aged father, who was just about to punish Lin Yifan, did a complete about-face and immediately fell to his knees to thank Lin Yifan for saving his son.

And the young man also knelt down to thank Lin Yifan for saving his life.

"Alright! Get up! Don't thank me, it was nothing. I just hope that three days from now, your family can come to the back mountain and witness the true face of the Mountain God. Then, everything will be revealed." Lin Yifan extended his hand to help the father and son up, urging them to stop their kneeling.

"Kind sir! We will surely be there in three days," the middle-aged father happily responded.

Now that his son's poison was cured and they hadn't lost anything, things were looking up.

"That's great!" Lin Yifan was relieved, then said to the mocking villagers from the neighboring village, "Make sure you come too! Don't miss it."

"We'll be there! We're not afraid of anyone! I refuse to believe the Mountain God is a devil!" the villagers responded stubbornly, spitefully.

Their present awkward predicament was all of their own making; it was like picking up a rock only to drop it on their own feet, a true case of reaping what they sowed.

"Good! Then we'll see each other on the back mountain in three days! Don't be absent!" Lin Yifan said with a continuous smile, his words full of mockery.

"Alright! We will definitely be there as promised."

Having said that, the group of villagers went their way with their resentment tingling in the air.

The villagers from his own village had also witnessed what unfolded today at the Lin Family, and after knowing that Lin Yifan had killed the Mountain God, they were initially angered; but seeing how resolute Lin Yifan looked, they started to believe that there might be truth in his claims; the Mountain God they had been venerating day and night could indeed be a devil. If that was really the case, it would be terrifying.
