At this moment, the baby was being manipulated at will by the Shi family head like a lifeless puppet. Dongfang Mian noticed that Yan Lin beside her was trembling all over, as if he could no longer control his emotions. She quickly grabbed his hand and gently stroked it to signal him to calm down.
There was no other way; they had to complete this process. According to the method Feng Qianxun had told them, the baby had to go through this process first in order to have a chance to devour the Poison God's soul. So, for now, they only had one option: to endure.
With Dongfang Mian's reassurance, Yan Lin quickly calmed down and continued to watch expressionlessly until the Shi family head completed all the procedures and stood on the teleportation array with the baby.
Dongfang Mian saw that he took out something that resonated with the teleportation array under his feet, and sure enough, there were conditions for activating this teleportation array.
Just as the teleportation light reached its peak, Dongfang Mian instantly made a move, using all of her supreme bloodline to throw out countless trapping, illusion, and killing formations in the blink of an eye, thus taking control of the entire situation.
In less than a breath before the Shi family head was stunned, Aju snatched the baby from his hands and kicked him off the teleportation array.
"A-Mian, come quick!" A-Ju shouted anxiously as the teleportation array was about to activate.
Dongfang Mian and the others rushed over at top speed, and in a flash of light, they all disappeared from everyone's sight.
At this moment, the head of the Shi family sat on the ground in a sorry state, his face full of shock. His first reaction was, "Am I dreaming? That was actually an ancient tiger."
Shaking his head, the Shi family head shook off those messy thoughts. He first rescued his clansmen from the various formations, and then told them that Dongfang Mian had stolen the baby and taken it to the ancestral tomb.
"Go get my patriarch's token and invite an Emperor-level ancestor out. Since they're so eager to go to the ancestral tomb, let them stay there and be buried with the ancestors," the Shi family patriarch said viciously.
"Is it really necessary to mobilize the Ancestor?" the Grand Elder asked. In his view, Dongfang Mian and his group were nothing more than a rabble. If they hadn't been caught off guard, they would never have been able to succeed.
"You don't know, the tiger beside her is an ancient divine beast," the Shi family head said in a deep voice.
What?! The Grand Elder was also extremely shocked. When did ancient divine beasts become contracted beasts for humans?
Just as they were about to go and invite the patriarch, a clansman rushed in, looking disheveled. Before taking his last breath, he shouted, "Patriarch, something terrible has happened! The Mu family has attacked!"
The head of the Shi family swayed involuntarily. Although the Shi family and the Mu family were not on good terms, they had maintained a balance on the surface for thousands of years. He never expected that they would attack at this time.
It's not hard to imagine that all of this is inextricably linked to Dongfang Mian, but now the Shi family head can't care about her anymore and has ordered all the Shi family elites to prepare for battle.
“Then we’re just going to abandon the young master? We still need him to summon back the Poison God Ancestor,” the First Elder said.
"We can't worry about that now. As long as they don't kill the young master, we can just hold the ceremony again later. The ancestral graves of the Shi family are not places they can come and go as they please. We'll deal with the Mu family after we've dealt with them," the Shi family head said coldly.
Soon, under the orders of the Shi family patriarch, all the elderly, women, and children of the Shi family escaped from the main Shi family compound through a secret passage, leaving behind only the elite and outstanding members of the Shi family.
As the Shi family head led them out, they were met by the menacing Mu family head and his wife.
