The wind howled outside, and the sky, which had been bathed in gold, was now covered with dark clouds, as if a storm was brewing.

The air almost froze, and the atmosphere instantly plummeted to freezing point.

The crowd, which had been making a ruckus just moments before, fell silent instantly, and the entire ancestral hall was eerily quiet.

Those who hadn't believed it before were now even paler, and the eldest daughter-in-law was trembling all over, one hand gripping her husband and the other pointing shakily at Bai Chi.

"Husband, husband, paint, paint..."

Her legs were trembling, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

It turns out that it wasn't referring to Bai Chi, but rather to the painting behind Bai Chi.

Looking at it now, the thorns that had previously covered the ancient temple in the painting seem to have come alive, stirring restlessly, trying to escape from the painting.

At the eldest son's wife's words, everyone instantly fell into chaos. Screams, cries of fear, and curses erupted as everyone scrambled to escape. Some even flung open the door and rushed out.

But then came a scream, abruptly ending the conversation and successfully keeping everyone inside.

"Jun'er!" Madam Liu cried out sorrowfully at the door, but dared not move an inch.

It was pitch black outside the door at some point. Not only was there no moonlight, but even the lights that used to stay on all night had disappeared.

"It's no use. Time has shifted, and we've already traveled back a thousand years with this ancient house."

The sound of the incandescent bulb was neither hurried nor slow, and at this moment it was like celestial music, able to soothe the hearts of the people.

When the head of the Liu family understood the meaning behind Bai Chi's words, he almost instantly knelt down in front of him.

"Mr. Bai, please help us! Since you know what's going on, you can definitely save us!"

Bai Chi didn't even glance at him, but simply patted Yunxiao's hand lightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Without offerings to reinforce the seal, the hatred accumulated over a thousand years is now desperately trying to break through it.

As for Yunxiao, the celestial being who also appeared in the painting, she would naturally be affected to some extent.

Yunxiao's gaze changed, and the arm that had been gripping Bai Chi's arm slowly wrapped around his waist.

“With Achi here, there’s nothing to fear.”

A hint of wickedness tinged her innocent eyes, yet she remained fixed on Bai Chi, not even sparing a glance at anyone else.

Just then, the eldest son suddenly rushed forward and reached out to grab Bai Chi's collar.

"Hey Bai, was it you who pulled this trick? You're just trying to cheat my family out of our money, aren't you? You're a conman like you, I'll never see you again..."

His fingers froze just an inch from Bai Chi's collar, his whole body trembled, and his gaze gradually became unfocused.

The next second, however, he suddenly covered his eyes as if he had gone mad, and let out a panicked scream.

"It wasn't me! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't kill anyone! Help me, let me go back, I'm not from here!"

From rage to collapse, it only took a second, and Bai Chi didn't even glance at him.

Instead, he reached out and covered Yunxiao's eyes, saying helplessly, "Yunxiao, you take people's money and do their bidding. The money you've been using these past few days has all come from the Liu family."

Just now, when Liu's eldest son was about to take his anger out on Bai Chi, Yun Xiao finally shifted the focus, looked at Liu's eldest son, and presented the tragic memories he had obtained from the evil spirit to him one by one.

They were maliciously tortured and killed, used as prey to fight wild beasts, and their internal organs were harvested for medicinal purposes...

The perpetrators caused tens of thousands of deaths and injuries.
