When Wan Jiao returned to the villa, Si Yue had just finished dinner.
Seeing that she hadn't expected her to come back so suddenly, Si Yue's eyes widened in surprise. "Master, didn't you say you were going away for a while? Why are you back already?"
After pausing for a moment, Si Yue seemed to remember something and continued, "Master, I saw on the live stream that you went to the deep seabed, you wouldn't...?"
Wan Jiao really didn't want to talk about those things anymore.
She raised her hand and waved it, then immediately changed the subject, "How's your cultivation going?"
Si Yue blinked, looking completely bewildered. "Master, you've only been gone a few hours. Do you think I could cultivate a flower in just a few hours?"
Wan Jiao: "..."
Yes.
She seemed to have asked the question rather hastily.
After giving a meaningful "hmm," Wan Jiao stepped into the room where the ancestral master's tablet was kept. Seeing this, Si Yue quickly stepped forward to stop her, "Master, what are you doing?"
Wan Jiao glanced at Si Yue and said in a soft voice, "There are some things I need to report to the Ancestor."
Upon hearing this, Si Yue's expression changed in complex ways. After hesitating for a long time, she finally managed to utter a complete sentence, "Master, I advise you not to go in now. The Ancestor... he might not be in a good mood right now."
Don't ask Si Yue how she knew.
Then... she heard a huge commotion coming from inside the house. There was nothing else inside except for the ancestral tablet, so she boldly guessed that the ancestor must be in a very bad mood right now.
If the master really goes in, there's a high chance that innocent bystanders will be implicated!
But Si Yue had no idea that Wan Jiao was not innocent at all.
Although Rong Xuan deserved her punishment and was deserving of death, the fact that she disposed of the person without informing the ancestor beforehand was indeed a poor decision.
It's only natural that our ancestors were unhappy.
"It's alright, you may leave."
After Wan Jiao finished speaking with Si Yue, she slipped inside and closed the door behind her.
At the same time, Si Yue heard the sound of things crashing to the ground coming from inside the house.
Then, after a while, a strong, resonant male voice came from behind.
"You brat, you're getting more and more opinionated these days. You act first and ask questions later, without informing me at all. Do you think I'm dead?"
Wan Jiao was furious. The ancestor who had just possessed her little paper doll was yelling and roaring at her. "Ancestor, if you say that, you are really wronging me."
Feng Nanshan snorted coldly, "Injustice? How could I injustice you? You know perfectly well about my relationship with her, you..."
“Ancestor, you’re confused.” Wan Jiao interrupted Feng Nanshan. “Rong Xuan has harmed so many humans and demons over the past thousands of years. This time, she even helped Lu Jiuxing to slaughter most of the sea demon clan. Her crimes are heinous. How can I allow her to continue living?”
Wan Jiao's words made some sense. Feng Nanshan, who was initially furious about Rong Xuan's soul being scattered, gradually calmed down. He raised his hand and stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.
Seeing this, Wan Jiao spoke up again, "Ancestor, your relationship with Rong Xuan is special. Anyone would feel sorry for her. I didn't inform you beforehand because I had my reasons. I... I didn't want you to watch her soul perish. That would be too cruel for you."
Wan Jiao hesitated for a long time before finally finishing her sentence.
Feng Nanshan knew exactly who she was.
She doesn't lie, and she's not good at lying.
A paper doll's body is ultimately not as useful as one's own.
Feng Nanshan walked to the window, taking some time to do so. After he stopped, he raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky outside. He formed a hand seal, drawing spiritual energy from all directions towards him.
After accumulating spiritual energy around Feng Nanshan to a certain degree, he began chanting an ancient incantation for salvation.
yes.
Even knowing that Rong Xuan's soul had already departed, Feng Nanshan still wanted to perform a ritual to help her pass on to the afterlife.
But... Rong Xuan is no more in this world.
Feng Nanshan's incantation for deliverance failed to deliver those he intended, but it did deliver the wandering ghosts and spirits, sending them to the underworld for reincarnation.
After all, he was once a great figure of the patriarch level in the metaphysical world. Although Feng Nanshan's current strength is only one-tenth of what it was at its peak, it is still enough to shake the heavens and the earth in this world with scarce spiritual energy.
The sorcerers of the capital city and even the entire Sheng Kingdom were shocked and stood on the open ground to watch the unprecedented 'grand feast of salvation'.
The young sorcerers were buzzing with discussion.
"I've never seen anything this powerful before in my life... What kind of incredible strength does this guy possess?"
"I have to rely on luck to perform a ritual for even one person, so I'm utterly ashamed of the extent of this kind of ritual capability."
"I just want to know, when did such a powerful figure emerge in our metaphysical world?"
"I dare say, is it Wan Bansian?"
"Wan Banxian? Is that the Kuaiyu streamer who's incredibly accurate at fortune telling, doing three readings a day?"
"They don't just do three calculations a day, they clearly do five..."
"..."
Older practitioners of mystic arts have lived longer and are therefore more knowledgeable and experienced.
They looked at each other, pondered for a long time, and then, with incredulous and solemn expressions, began to speak one after another.
“I’ve seen similar accounts in ancient texts, about such powerful rituals for the deceased. It seems like… it is…”
"Now that you mention it, I remember him too. He was a patriarch of the metaphysical world, the former abbot of the number one temple in the world, Nanshan Temple, and the one who created the 'Nanshan Du' by Feng Nanshan."
