The butler watched the battle intently, and when he noticed someone leaving, he sneered, thinking to himself, "Just as I expected."

He and his men blocked the road, and asked with a smile, "Mr. He, where are you headed?"

He Wangyao scratched her head awkwardly, then suddenly her expression changed and she clutched her stomach.

"I think I ate something bad, I need to go to the bathroom..."

housekeeper:"……"

He knew she'd use that as an excuse. He said with feigned concern, "Is that so? Then hurry to the front hall, there's a public restroom over there!"

He Wangyao: "Huh, my stomach suddenly doesn't hurt anymore... Wait a minute, there's a strong yin energy in your backyard! How about I perform an exorcism for you?"

The butler's face immediately darkened: "Our Bai family knows how to exorcise evil spirits ourselves, so there's no need for you to bother. Please leave now."

He Wangyao walked back awkwardly, wondering if Li Wenhe had managed to sneak in.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a furtive figure. Wasn't that the middle-aged man next to Chu Yuqi in the information I saw last night?

"Hey, stop right there!" He turned and rushed inside.

The butler was furious. Why wouldn't this person give up? "If you barge in again, I won't be so polite!"

He and his men stood in front of him menacingly, intending to throw the troublemakers out.

He Wangyao, quick-witted, exclaimed, "I saw Lao Zhang! He swindled me out of 1 million yuan in Yunwu City last year. He's a fraudster! Zhang, give me my money back!"

The butler angrily retorted, "Nonsense! There's no one here with the surname Zhang!"

He Wangyao stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "I saw it all and you still won't admit it! That was Old Zhang just now! Are you trying to cover for him?"

He paused, then added, "He told me his name was Zhang Suozhu, which is definitely a alias. Why don't you let me go and catch him and confront him face to face? Then everything will be clear."

The servants immediately relaxed, thinking that perhaps it really was a misunderstanding.

The butler, however, said with a stern face, "No, please leave immediately!"

He doesn't believe a single word that Zhang Suozhu says!

"I'll go grab them and get some answers from them." Pei Di seized the opportunity, shoved aside the three people blocking his way, and rushed towards the backyard.

The steward was startled and quickly called for everyone to give chase, causing chaos and a great commotion.

He Wangyao, adding fuel to the fire, shouted, "Go Didi! Catch Zhang Suozhu and get the 1 million back!"

The butler was so angry he almost fell over. Were these people bandits?

——

Inside a room in the backyard.

"They're here! They're here to arrest me!" Chu Yuqi exclaimed in terror.

Bai Tingtao also heard the commotion outside, so loud it was hard to ignore.

He dared not be careless and quickly activated his magic power, finally managing to remove the curse from Chu Yuqi.

Chu Yuqi fainted and was caught by someone waiting nearby, who placed her on the bed. "Is Xiao Chu alright now?"

Bai Tingtao nodded slightly, paused, and then said, "This child has suffered a lot; it's really not easy for him."

Bai Tingchao said, "I don't know what's happening outside, I'll go take a look."

The guard was quickly summoned and hurriedly recounted how Mingzhuo had held back Bai Lingzhi in a magical duel while the others had barged into the backyard.

Bai Tingtao snorted coldly, "What a bunch of bastards! What are these people trying to do? Quickly call Wu Jiao and ask him if he's gone mad!"

Bai Tingchao sighed softly, "Wu Jiao went to class today and won't answer the phone."

Bai Tingtao: "These are all excuses!"

"Yes, those are all excuses. He has long been on Ruan Mingzhuo's side, and it is said that he is even planning to push Ruan Mingzhuo to the position of Dean of the Taoist Academy."

Bai Tingtao was both shocked and furious: "Outrageous! How dare he!"

He paused, growing angrier the more he thought about it. "How could he so easily trust a witch of unknown origin? Has he forgotten the impending catastrophe? I will never agree to this!"

At this point, he was slightly startled and suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"Fine, just because I disagreed, she came to our Bai family and started targeting us? She didn't even ask if I agreed!"

Bai Tingchao: "But you just helped Chu Yuqi break the curse, and your cultivation was damaged. It would be better to avoid her for the time being. Why don't I go and check on the situation first?"

Not long after he left, Bai Tingtao suddenly sensed the fluctuations of the formation, and his expression changed drastically.

"Oh no! They're pretending to look for someone; their real purpose is to steal the treasure!"

He rushed out in a hurry.

——

Taking advantage of the chaos, Li Wenhe headed towards the backyard.

He carefully avoided the crowd and found that this courtyard was the most heavily guarded, which confirmed that something was wrong.

Just then, Pei Di charged into the yard like a tank. He was so strong that several people couldn't stop him, and he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Li Wenhe seized the opportunity to slip into the courtyard.

Suddenly his gaze stopped as he saw a figure hurrying towards the back of the courtyard.

He quickly followed, but when they reached a courtyard, he completely lost track of the person.

Li Wenhe observed for a moment and concluded that this should be an ancestral hall, where the ancestral tablets of the Bai family were enshrined and incense was burning.

As he hesitated whether to go in, he suddenly felt a cold and sharp killing intent coming from behind him, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

He desperately tried to hide and escape from the yard, but found that he couldn't get out!

The courtyard was enclosed by a powerful array that trapped any thieves who dared to break in.

Li Wenhe's current cultivation level is not enough to break through the formation!

Just as the blade that had transformed into a real sword was about to pierce his chest, an invisible sword light swept past Li Wenhe, cleaving him in two first.

The three divine swords of Taoism are invisible and intangible, yet their power is boundless.

Under the shockwave of the sword energy, the magic array crumbled inch by inch.

Bai Tingtao, who rushed over, coughed up blood, suffering a backlash after all.

He stared at Bai Tingchao, who lay motionless on the ground, and was absolutely furious. "Witch, you're going to die!"

Bai Lingzhi arrived at this time and was stunned when she saw the terrible scene.

She had been locked in a fierce battle with Mingzhuo, and the more they fought, the more impressed she became with the young girl in front of her. The girl was not someone who was just seeking fame and fortune; she actually had some real skills.

She had just begun to appreciate the talent of the younger generation and was reluctant to take drastic measures when Mingzhuo suddenly threw her aside and headed straight for the ancestral hall in the backyard.

Then, right in front of them, she killed her second uncle with a single sword strike!

Bai Lingzhi was no less angry than Bai Tingtao; this feud had truly taken a huge turn today!

"Ruan Mingzhuo, you and this man will stay here today and be buried with my second uncle!"

Xiang Yuhan caught up breathlessly and blocked Mingzhuo's way, "Sister Zhi, no!"

Bai Lingzhi lashed out with her whip: "Get out of my way! You brought a murderer into my house today, so you'll be implicated too!"

The father and daughter attacked together, each move aimed at killing Mingzhuo.

This is a complete breakdown in relations; killing Ming Zhuo is not enough to vent my hatred!

Mingzhuo pulled Li Wenhe back quickly, avoiding the fatal attack.

"Who said I killed someone? You all know that the Taoist Three Divine Swords can kill ghosts but not people, and he's still alive and well."
