Bai Lingzhi paused for a moment, then walked over to check Bai Tingchao's breathing. "You're talking nonsense!"

Bai Tingtao: "His life tablet just shattered! You still won't admit you killed someone?"

Bai Lingzhi suppressed her grief and glared angrily at Ming Zhuo, "You killed someone and you still want to deny it! Don't think I don't know that what you used wasn't the authentic Taoist Three Divine Swords; you could kill whoever you wanted!"

Mingzhuo: "Looks like you guys know me pretty well."

"Stop talking nonsense, a life for a life, just obediently accept your death!"

Bai Tingtao glanced at the sky; the butler had already gone to activate the protective array around the house.

When Xiang Yuhan saw the formation activated, his expression changed. "Teacher Ruan, please be careful! This formation uses Elder Bai as its core, and it is extremely dangerous."

However, if they want to break the formation, the only way is to kill Bai Tingtao unless he voluntarily lets them leave.

This is a fight to the death, and the situation has become extremely serious.

Bai Tingtao sneered, "How dare you come and go as you please with my Bai family? If you have the guts, come and kill me!"

Li Wenhe had a feeling that something was wrong, as if someone had deliberately lured him into the ancestral hall and then assassinated him...

"He tried to kill me, and Teacher Ruan had no choice but to stop him to save me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Lingzhi lashed out with a whip. If Mingzhuo hadn't reacted quickly and grabbed the whip, Li Wenhe would have been splattered with blood on the spot.

"Nonsense! My second uncle doesn't know any magic at all. He's just an ordinary person! Besides, he's old and has trouble walking. Don't try to frame him!"

Mingzhuo twisted the whip, snatched it away, and lashed it across Bai Tingchao's corpse.

"Stop!" Bai Tingtao and Bai Lingzhi shouted, their eyes wide with fury.

Mingzhuo: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll grind his body to dust right now, and I mean it!"

Bai Tingtao clutched his chest in anger, while Bai Lingzhi was both furious and helpless; she couldn't let her second uncle's remains be forgotten.

Mingzhuo pressed the corpse down, affixed a talisman to the spirit altar, and then shouted, "Wenwen, help me, just like you pressed Yang Xiaoqiang down."

Li Wenhe's mind stirred slightly, and he immediately understood. He quickly stepped forward, pressed Bai Tingchao down, and pasted several talismans in different positions.

Bai Tingtao: "What exactly are you trying to do?!"

Mingzhuo: "I want to save him."

Then she lit a talisman, grabbed it with her fingers, and a soul appeared in her hand. She then forcefully pressed the struggling soul into the body.

Everything happened so fast it was unbelievable. Bai Tingtao, being a man of many experiences, looked at Ming Zhuo with surprise and uncertainty.

When Bai Lingzhi tried to step forward, he reached out and stopped her, saying, "Don't disturb her."

Mingzhuo finished quickly, "Alright, he's alive now."

The person lying down had their chest rising and falling slightly, clearly indicating that they were breathing.

The scene before her was utterly unbelievable. Bai Lingzhi was in a state of confusion. She stepped forward and helped Bai Tingchao up. "Second Uncle, are you alright?"

Bai Tingchao slowly opened his eyes, seemingly weak, shook his head, and then closed his eyes again.

Xiang Yuhan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is this really Uncle Bai?"

Bai Tingtao said with certainty, "It is Tingchao."

He looked at Mingzhuo with a complicated expression, his face still cold. "Don't think you can make amends like this! This matter can't be left like this..."

To everyone's surprise, Mingzhuo drew his peach wood sword: "Who said I wanted to make amends? I'm going to kill him right now."

Everyone was shocked, and Bai Tingtao was so angry that his face turned green!

"You did this on purpose! Killing me once wasn't enough, you want to kill me again to humiliate the Bai family? If you have the guts, kill me first!"

Even if it costs him his life, he won't let Mingzhuo gain the slightest advantage!

Ming Zhuo completely ignored him and unexpectedly thrust his sword at Bai Tingchao.

Bai Tingchao fell to the ground in a disheveled state, and now everyone was certain that she was serious!

Mingzhuo stood holding her sword, the peach wood sword in her hand growing longer in the wind, the invisible sword energy surging, giving her a sense of holiness.

"Bai Tingchao, I have sealed your soul in this body. If I strike you again this time, you will be truly dead. Do you understand?"

Bai Tingtao was furious: "Witch, stop!"

After saying that, he realized something was wrong. What did he mean by "the soul is sealed in this body"?

Mingzhuo had already made her move. Her sword was invisible and intangible, but its oppressive force was overwhelming, making it hard for people to breathe.

Bai Tingchao's expression changed drastically. The shadow of death weighed heavily on his heart. He could no longer hold back and suddenly retreated several meters to the side.

His agility and speed were unlike those of an ordinary person.

The Bai family members were dumbfounded. What was going on?

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Bai Tingchao glared resentfully at Ming Zhuo, then suddenly leaped forward and struck Bai Tingtao with a palm.

Bai Tingtao tried to stop them in his haste, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, and his body froze instantly.

Mingzhuo pulled Bai Tingtao aside, then slapped a talisman onto his forehead. Bai Tingtao coughed up a mouthful of blood, and there were actually Gu worms wriggling in the blood!

Mingzhuo killed the Gu worm with a single sword strike.

Bai Tingchao's attack failed, and no matter how much hatred he felt, he dared not linger in the fight. He quickly fled out of the courtyard.

"Oh no, he's trying to escape!" Bai Lingzhi's expression changed drastically.

Bai Tingtao never put any precautions against his younger brother. Worried that it would be inconvenient for him to come and go, he even left an opening for him.

The formation can trap others, but it can't trap Bai Tingchao. He can come and go as he pleases, so who can do anything to him?

Before Bai Tingchao's smug smile could fully spread, he discovered that the formation in front of him had changed; the Gate of Life had become the Gate of Death.
