Midnight.

A sneaky figure appeared in the corridor, carefully unlocked Zhao Chuan Yi's room with a key, and slipped inside.

However, after searching the room for a while, the person suddenly paused in confusion: "Huh, how come there's no one."

The next second, several people rushed in from outside the room, it was Sun Yan and his group.

Shen Sanjing, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, swiftly subdued the person to the ground. Sun Yan realized the person was the driver responsible for driving in the ancient castle.

The person was holding some white powder, presumably intending to do something with it.

"Let go of me!"

"Ha, I knew you people had problems." Shen Sanjing, burly and solid, pinned the person to the ground, unable to move.

Just as he was about to lift him up for questioning, the person gritted his teeth, crushed the packet of powder in his hand, and suddenly the white powder scattered throughout the room.

Everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses, holding their breath, afraid of any adverse reactions from inhaling it.

However, after waiting for a while, nothing unusual happened.

As everyone was puzzled, the driver burst into maniacal laughter: "You've all come in, sacrifices, everyone will become the offering for the lord, hahaha."

Sun Yan was startled, suddenly remembered something, quickly stepped out of the room to take a look, although the ancient castle was still the same as before.

But at this moment, it gave Sun Yan an inexplicable different feeling.

He turned around and asked the man subdued by Shen Sanjing: "So, Balian had you secretly enter our rooms a few days ago, scatter this powder, and that's how we entered the Land of the Profane, right?"

"You figured it out quickly, but what good will it do? The ritual is almost complete, all that's left is for you to complete the final step; all of you will become the lord's offerings, stop struggling."

Faced with the driver's brazen provocation, Shen Sanjing slapped him on the face: "Don't give me this nonsense, where is Balian now, take us to him. If he wants me as an offering, he should first ask if he has the power, does he really think Master Shen is easy to deal with?"

"Your struggles will be in vain."

The driver said viciously, then black blood oozed from his mouth, and he tilted his head, losing all movement.

"Poison suicide? Are these people that loyal? Even ancient death warriors weren't like this." Shen Sanjing pressed the man's neck with two fingers, speaking in astonishment.

"It seems Balian's brainwashing in private is extremely serious, reaching the point of facing death fearlessly." Zhao Chuan Yi frowned.

"I didn't expect Mr. Balian, who seemed gentle and kind this morning, to be like this in private. What does he mean by his ritual?"

Sun Yan sighed: "Needing us as offerings is certainly not a good thing. According to what this person said, Balian must be hiding somewhere in this ancient castle. Only by finding him can we be safe.

But on previous occasions, we've searched every corner of this ancient castle twice and found no one. Now wanting to find Balian won't be easy.

Shen Sanjing patted his chest and said, "Previously, it was because Master Shen hadn't made a move. Now just watch, no matter where that old guy is hiding, I can drag him out."

Under the curious gazes of everyone, Shen Sanjing suddenly decisively bit the tip of his finger.

Then he smeared the blood on his face, drawing a snakelike pattern.

In just a moment, his whole body suddenly trembled and shivered, unable to stop, and produced strange hissing noises.

Zhao Chuan Yi and Sun Yan said: "Marvelous, I didn't expect to see the Chang Family Immortal's possession here, this fatty has some skills."

Sun Yan was also looking curiously at Shen Sanjing's actions.

The Northeast Family Guardian Immortals, the most famous are the Five Immortals, also known as the Five Great Families or Five Manifestation Wealth Gods, namely the Fox, Huang, White, Liu, and Gray.

Folklore holds that mountain and wilderness spirit monsters and humans have long coexisted, being either demons or immortals. If they are offended and hurt, they will retaliate against humans with sorcery to punish them.

But if people worship them, they will receive blessings. Therefore, many northern households have Family Guardian Immortals, usually worshipped next to the family ancestral tablets or in the home altar.

The image of the Family Guardian Immortal is mostly humanoid, kind and benevolent, generally depicted as old women or men dressed in official attire with warm hats.

Wealthier families might build an Immortal Family building in the corner of their courtyard to worship the Five Great Families' tablets.

Some people are chosen by the Family Guardian Immortal in childhood, allowing them to invoke the Immortal's power, these people are usually called 'Come Out'.

Clearly, Sun Yan saw that Shen Sanjing was such an existence.

As Shen Sanjing's pupils changed, what should have been black pupils on white turned into green slit pupils, looking quite eerie.

At the same time, the sides of his cheeks hollowed down, resembling a triangular snakehead.

"Hmm... just a bunch of juniors." Shen Sanjing said sinisterly.

After the Chang Immortal's possession, even his voice had changed. Zhao Chuan Yi respectfully greeted: "Hello Chang Immortal."

Shen Sanjing nodded nonchalantly, but when his cold gaze suddenly swept over Sun Yan's body, he suddenly shivered and widened his eyes in surprise.
