Song Huaitang also wondered about the collapse of the ancestral hall. He examined the area with a dark expression but couldn't figure out what happened. Could it really be Jiaojiao's fault, that she had offended the ancestors?
But the child was truly his own, the bloodline verification couldn't be wrong.
Could it be that when he added Cao and Jiaojiao to the family registry, he hadn't used the Boundary-Crossing Incense to announce it to the ancestors, thus displeasing them?
It was a bit rushed today, wasn't it? He was in a hurry.
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Song Jiaojiao's face turned red with anger.
Those old nuisances! They actually had the nerve to snatch the spot she had worked so hard to earn?
But she was a junior, and her established persona was to gain her father's trust by being filial and sensible.
Because she knew that only by being obedient, well-behaved, and talented could she get her father to fully protect her.
So, no matter how urgent, she could only appear wronged, and she looked at her father with tearful eyes, appearing pitiful.
Her gaze happened to meet Song Huaitang's searching eyes, and she was startled.
She quickly explained with red eyes, “It’s not just us who entered the ancestral hall. Lin Shi and Song Jinxiu also came in. Perhaps Lin Shi, unwilling to leave the Song family, tampered with things in the ancestral hall.”
Cao Shi: “My lord, Jiaojiao is your only daughter. This spot was earned by Madam, it cannot be given to others.”
Song Jiaojiao: “Father, it must be Madam who, unwilling to accept it, framed me.”
Cao Shi and Song Jiaojiao each grabbed one of Song Huaitang’s arms, both appearing wronged and crying profusely.
Song Huaitang: Jiaojiao is right. It’s probably that bitch Lin Shi’s doing. Otherwise, simply adding someone to the family registry wouldn't cause the ancestral hall to collapse.
He scanned the surroundings, but didn't see the Lin family mother and daughter.
It seemed that woman had escaped after breaking the formation. This must have been the commotion caused by breaking the formation.
He hadn't expected that woman to still possess a treasure that could break formations.
Also, that woman almost exhausted her cultivation to save that brat Jinxiu, severely injuring her foundation. For her to recover so quickly from such a serious injury, it seems her treasure is not ordinary.
However, this matter should not be publicized. He would wait for an opportunity to meet that woman. She dared to leave with the Song family’s treasure, he needed to get it back.
This treasure belongs to him.
Since it was that woman’s doing, Jiaojiao cannot be blamed.
He couldn't help but darken his expression and said to everyone,
“Stop talking nonsense. This spot was obtained by Lin Shi for Jinxiu. Now that Jinxiu is crippled and Jiaojiao has the best spiritual root, what’s wrong with me giving it to Jiaojiao?”
He was still counting on Jiaojiao to refine elixirs for him!
Hmph! No matter how good nephews and nieces are, they are still outsiders. Moreover, if they become successful, they might even contend with him for the position of family head. So, would he be foolish enough to give away the Yanhuo Sect spot?
Besides, this spot was painstakingly obtained by Lin Shi. What does it have to do with them? They are truly a bunch of parasites, not thinking of the family but shamelessly trying to take advantage whenever there’s an opportunity.
For a time, a clamor arose before the Song family’s ancestral hall, with endless arguments. Yet, not a single person remembered to retrieve the ancestors’ memorial tablets from the ruins first.
What’s worse, some people resorted to fighting when they couldn't win the argument. They pushed and shoved each other, letting the ancestors’ memorial tablets be trampled and broken in half under their feet.
Meanwhile, Song Jinxiu, although hiding in her spatial dimension, was constantly paying attention to the outside. Thus, she was the first to see a round, palm-sized small cauldron spinning outside her dimension, as if it had a spirit and was searching for something.
At the same time, Song Jinxiu felt an inexplicable connection with this small cauldron.
Was it looking for her?
When did she form a blood pact with this thing?
She tentatively reached out a hand, and the small cauldron immediately turned and flew towards her hand.
The small cauldron came too fast. Song Jinxiu couldn’t hold it and was suddenly pushed into her palm, disappearing.
Simultaneously, Song Jinxiu felt a sharp pain in her mind.
Song Jinxiu cried out “Not good!” and quickly sat cross-legged, engaging in a battle with the intruder.
It was a ball of black energy, carrying a fresh scent of blood.
Could it be soul possession by a blood demon?
Song Jinxiu was greatly alarmed.
“Hehehehe, Old Poison Song, you oppressed me for ten thousand years. Didn’t expect this, I could still break free from the seal using blood essence.”
“Blood Demon Old Monster, I sealed you once, and I can seal you again. Even if I die, my descendants will not let you go.”
This voice came from another faint, weak ball of white smoke.
If he hadn't spoken, Song Jinxiu wouldn't even have noticed another person's presence in her sea of consciousness.
“Hehehe, don’t boast too much, aren’t you afraid of sticking your tongue out? In these ten thousand years, although I, the old demon, was suppressed in the Creație Gilden, I could occasionally absorb some blood essence. This one today is even at the Temel Oluşturma stage. I am much stronger than you now.
Look at you, hehehe, pitiable! The offerings from your descendants are getting less and less. Hahaha, it can be seen that your descendants are not sincere, and your Song Family is likely to decline. Hahaha, hehehe……”
The white shadow’s body trembled.
“I, using my divine soul to suppress you, need power. The power indeed comes from the faith and offerings of my descendants. It has loosened somewhat in the last two years, but you are probably rejoicing too early.
Have you not noticed that the Creație Gilden has recognized its master? A true god will emerge from my Song Family, and you will be completely refined.”
“Impossible! Back then, even you, Old Poison Song, the God of Alchemy, couldn’t get the Creație Gilden to recognize you as master. This old demon doesn't believe your useless descendants have such ability.”
“Whether you believe it or not is up to you.”
One white and one black, they exchanged blows, even wrestling.
These two are ancient beings from ten thousand years ago. Could it be that after the small cauldron recognized its master, it brought these two into her sea of consciousness?
What does it want? Is it trying to take control?
“Stop! Do you not see me, an old woman?”
Song Jinxiu shouted. You two are fighting, and my head is about to explode!
“Hehehehe, what is a mere Qi Refining Layer 1 girl? When this old demon finishes dealing with Old Poison Song, your body will be mine. Tsk tsk tsk, it’s a bit subpar, but it will do. Who told this old demon to be without a physical body for so long? Hahaha……”
“Don’t you ‘ga ga’ me! Dreaming if you think you can possess a descendant of my Song Family!”
The black and white masses twisted even more violently, entwining like a twisted rope, churning and almost causing Song Jinxiu to faint.
No, if this continues, she’ll die or become a complete idiot.
But she can’t use any Spiritual Energy right now. How can she expel them?
Song Jinxiu tried to calm her soul and minimize the damage to her consciousness.
Bracing herself against the pain, she attempted to communicate with the Birinci Sınıf Altın Lotus in her dantian.
She had noticed earlier that this golden lotus was very spiritual. Perhaps, without needing Spiritual Energy, it could help her through this soul possession crisis.
“Junior, quickly lend me a hand.”
At this moment, the black energy clearly had the upper hand. The white shadow’s voice sounded weak and powerless.
“Quick, disperse your soul and merge into my body. We will defeat this demonic creature together.”
“Hehehe, Old Poison Song, aren’t you also trying to possess her? If you merge into her body, can this little girl still live?”
“My Song Family descendants uphold justice and eliminate demons. As long as you, old demon, can be killed, even death is glorious.”
“What are you waiting for? If you don’t kill this old demon, once he possesses your body, he will kill your parents and relatives first, and destroy the entire Song Family. At that time, you will be the sinner of the entire Song Family.”
