Not long after Si Jin finished speaking, the bodyguards guarding the ancestral hall in the backyard rushed into the living room.

The burly man at the head of the group, his face filled with terror and blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, gasped for breath, "Young...Young Master, something terrible has happened!"

"The ancestral hall was destroyed by something unknown. The ancestral tablets were all smashed to pieces by an unseen force!"

"Even the bodyguards guarding outside were injured by the shock."

Upon hearing this, Ming Sitao's face turned pale, and he finally believed that Si Jin was telling the truth.

This ungrateful wretch really did destroy the Ming family's ancestral hall, which had stood for hundreds of years, as soon as he got home!

"This is outrageous! Outrageous!"

Ming Sitao, the current head of the family, was furious: "Ming Sijin! Who gave you the audacity to cause such a scene at the Ming family?!"

"Do you know that the Ming family has been protected by Cupid for generations and possesses countless magical artifacts for exorcising demons and suppressing evil? I could just pull one out of the armory and take your life!"

Upon hearing the words "armory," Si Jin instinctively shuddered.

This wasn't his emotion, but rather the original owner's.

The original owner was forced to have his heart's blood extracted by the Ming family father and son from a young age, once a week.

Every time the original owner resisted, he would be locked in the armory, chained to a cross, and have his blood forcibly extracted using various magical artifacts from the armory.

In this way, all the divine power that the original owner had was transferred to the Ming family father and son through his heart's blood.

"Arsenal, I'm so scared."

Si Jin's voice was icy, with a faint smile on her lips.

As she spoke, she grabbed Ming Sitao by the collar and shoved him right in front of everyone.

"Since you're so capable, why don't you open the armory and let everyone take a look?"

"In order to improve your cultivation, how many pure hearts of young men and women did you and your son plunder in that filthy armory!"

Dig...dig out the heart?

The group exchanged bewildered glances—since this place became a terrifying escape world, people had indeed frequently died from heart failure.

But the monsters whose hearts were ripped out were all from the misty forest outside the city.

Fortunately, they are limited by their nature and can only move when the fog spreads.

In the critical moment, the Ming family took the initiative to use the divine power bead bestowed by the God of Love to prevent the fog from spreading into the city.

This is why the Ming family is so beloved by everyone.

Because he was a pioneer in exorcism and a great hero to the entire city.

Now, Si Jin's words have suddenly turned a meritorious official into a sinner.

The crowd found it hard to accept and defended Ming Sitao.

"Shh-"

Si Jin ignored their nonsense and put her slender fingers to her lips, making a shushing gesture.

With his captivatingly handsome eyes raised, he looked at the few people who had defended Ming Sitao most vehemently, and called them out one by one.

"Chairman Yun, I remember five years ago, after you had four daughters, you had a son. You cherished him because he was born late in life, but he mysteriously disappeared just three days after birth. When you found him again, his heart was gone."

"Mr. Zhang, your daughter, who is only four days old, is the same."

"Boss Lin, your daughter is a bit older, nineteen, but she fell in love with Ming Sitao. She was willing to come to the Ming family's armory for him and swear to the statue of Cupid there that she would love him forever. Then her heart was gone, and when you saw her again, she was already a corpse, right?"

Si Jin's words immediately silenced everyone present.

Parents, especially those who have lost their beloved sons and daughters, all became more alert and continued to listen to him.

Ming Sitao knew his scheme had been exposed, and his face turned frighteningly pale.

He immediately turned around and hurriedly stopped him: "Ming Sijin! Get out of the Ming family and stop spouting nonsense here!"

When he got excited, he immediately raised his fist and punched Si Jin.

A thin blade formed from divine power was hidden in his fist.

The moment you touch Si Jin's neck, you can snap his throat instantly.

Even if the cut misses and doesn't sever the tongue, it can still cut off his incessant chatter!

Ming Sitao was on edge, his scalp tingling.

He didn't know how Si Jin knew about these things!

But now, Ming Sijin must die!

*Pfft*

The dull sound of a thin blade piercing flesh rang out.

Bloodstains fell, staining the porcelain-white floor tiles red.

In the silence, Ming Sitao stared in disbelief at his blood-soaked hand, his pupils dilating to an unbearable degree.

Why……

Why would a slender blade, which he created by condensing his divine power, help Ming Sijin attack him at a crucial moment?
