Chapter 577
Because no one expected that the authorities would take action against the Shang family.
Moreover, in just one month, a business with a history spanning thousands of years and profound heritage could really collapse so suddenly.
The other three families were filled with disbelief and anger, but even more so with fear.
When did the government's power become so terrifying?
Originally, the Fang family head and the other two families wanted to test what methods the authorities were hiding tonight. They also wanted to take this opportunity to put pressure on the authorities and make them understand that the powerful families of Chaoge, which have been passed down for thousands of years, are not to be trifled with and cannot tolerate such provocation.
Therefore, the three major families gathered their elites here not to suppress the evil spirits overflowing from the barrier, but to cause trouble.
Anyway, if those evil spirits escape, it's just ordinary people who die, and with the government's idiots charging ahead, they won't suffer any losses.
However, the plan was perfect, but unfortunately, the Fang family head and others never expected that when everything was ready, things would go wrong at the old house.
However, the three major families have no intention of causing any more trouble now.
They dare to use the overflowing power of ghosts and gods to do all sorts of things, but that doesn't mean they want to see ghosts and gods go out of control and descend upon the human world.
In that case, the first to die would be the four major families of Chaoge.
After all, back then...
The mad spirits would never let them go.
At this moment, suspecting that the ghosts and spirits might be about to completely spiral out of control, the Fang family head was actually more anxious than anyone else.
However, with the barrier in place, the ghosts and monsters in the old house cannot come out, nor can they enter.
Apart from……
The Han family head stepped forward with a solemn expression. "Xingyan has also been selected for the old house this time, right?"
The head of the Fang family nodded solemnly.
Every year on the fifteenth of August, the ancient house appears in the world. Heaven will select dozens of explorers to enter, both to hold back the ghosts and monsters inside and to find a way to control or even eliminate them.
However, over the years, countless explorers have gone in, and countless people have died. It is a miracle if one or two people come out alive each year, let alone those who want to eliminate ghosts and gods.
Even the celestial realm couldn't completely kill Him in the past, let alone now that the pillars of heaven have collapsed and the Dao has withered. They are just a group of mortals, how can they fight against the only remaining god in this world?
The advantage of humans is their boldness, but their disadvantage is also their audacity, especially when they are greedy and insecure. Yes, I'm talking about the four great families.
The inability to control or destroy spirits is like a guillotine hanging over their heads, with no one knowing when it will fall.
How could they be at ease, yet they would never give up their immense wealth? Driven by their lust for power, they schemed and struggled recklessly.
The Han family head paused for a moment and said, "Xingyan is the most outstanding genius of the four major families after the great changes in the world. If it were still the era when Taoist magic was prevalent, with his talent, ascension would only be a matter of time."
Unfortunately, Fang Xingyan was born at the wrong time.
"For others, entering an old house might be suicide, but for him it might not be."
Moreover, the patriarchs of the four great families had predicted many years ago that a person of great fortune would be born in their generation. He/she would be a turning point for their families and the only being who could restrain ghosts and gods.
Fang Xingyan was not only exceptionally talented, but also possessed great fortune, which perfectly matched the prophecy.
Therefore, not only the Fang family, but also the other three families devoted themselves to supporting and nurturing Fang Xingyan. He was truly born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
If Xiao Jin were here, she would definitely be ranting: What kind of stupid prophecy is this? The male lead didn't have the help of a fragment of his master's soul in his previous life, so how could he be qualified to fight against ghosts and gods? A nemesis, my foot!
The true nemesis of ghosts and spirits is their master!
A bunch of idiots!
However, now that the master has completely sided with the ghosts and gods, you trash, you're doomed, hehehe.
But who's to blame?
Isn't it all the fault of these trash?
Unfortunately, the Fang family head and the others knew nothing about this. They were eagerly anticipating that Fang Xingyan would enter the haunted house and wreak havoc, finding a way to control and destroy the ghosts and gods.
"By the way, didn't the merchant send a bride into the old house last month?"
The Han family head said to the Fang family head.
The head of the Fang family nodded, but then frowned. "Do you think this matter might be related to the downfall of the Shang family?"
After all, they all knew the true identity of the bride who was sent into the old house.
Although she was not a direct descendant of the current generation of business owners, she was indeed a descendant of the Shang family.
Otherwise, how could they possibly have kept it a secret from the old house? They wouldn't dare to use a substitute.
Strangely, just a few days after the merchant sent the person in, the Shang family began to encounter all sorts of big troubles, with one by one the capable collateral and direct descendants meeting with accidents.
Even the shop owners, a married couple, have gone mad and are now in a sanatorium; they can no longer even recognize people.
Shang Ruru, the only remaining direct descendant of the Shang family, also became an explorer facing numerous dangers.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to encounter Fang Xingyan during her first mission, she probably would have been dead long ago. But even though she was still a novice explorer, she was chosen to be sent to the ancient house, a place of certain death, tonight...
It was as if the Shang family's fortune had been completely drained overnight, and the backlash from their years of tyranny descended upon them in an instant.
Is this some kind of retribution?
The Fang family head was horrified upon closer examination.
Although the businesses' assets and influence were taken away by the government, and it appears that the government is dealing with the businesses, was the old house really not involved?
Or perhaps it's ghosts and spirits...
After all, if it wasn't Him, who else would have the power to destroy such a behemoth as the Shang Clan in an instant?
The Han family head also seemed to realize something, and under the blinding lightning, his face turned deathly pale.
"Is He... is He going to attack us?"
The Fang family head's pupils dilated, and he looked in the direction of the old house, his eyes filled with fear.
For thousands of years, He has not retaliated against them, so why would He suddenly turn against the Shang clan?
Has He really completely lost control?
The Fang family head and the others had lost all interest in causing trouble. They needed to hurry back to discuss things with the rest of the family and make preparations...
But if He comes out, will all their preparations be of any use?
The Fang family head gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot. More than five thousand years ago, when He was at his strongest, all four of his families had won. How much more so today?
Yes, they still have a prophet; Fang Xingyan is their lifeline, as long as he successfully emerges from the old house…
However, Fang Xingyan, who was highly regarded by his father and family, did not have such a good situation after being teleported into the old house at midnight.
Instead of the alluring, manipulative white fox spirit described in their files, they were greeted by...
The female ghost in front of me was wearing a red dress, and her hair was so long that it dragged on the ground. When she moved, a puddle of water appeared on the ground, and a strong smell of water filled the air.
Has the person in charge of the outer courtyard of the old house changed?
