"Aaah!"

The heartrending cry erupted from Xu Qingyuan's father's body, followed by a stream of black smoke that billowed out from his seven orifices.

This black smoke transformed from the Evil Ghost. After venting out of Xu Qingyuan's father's body, it instantly tried to escape.

This was the Evil Ghost. It recognized Xiao Mu's power immediately and thought only of fleeing after manifesting itself.

Xiao Mu had long expected that the intense Yin Qi inside Xu Qingyuan's father had something to do with an Evil Ghost. The effectiveness of the Ward Off Evil Talisman confirmed his guess.

Seeing the ghost reveal itself, how could he just let it run away?

"Go!"

He threw the Fire Talisman. The Unholy Ghost was instantly burned to ashes and had disappeared from sight.

Staring dumbfounded at the scene before his eyes, Xu Qingyuan was terrified once again. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't believe that an Evil Ghost was lurking inside his father's body.

If Xiao Mu hadn't detected it on time and dispelled it, the consequences were too terrifying to imagine.

"Mr. Mu, thank you, thank you so much!"

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Xu Qingyuan repeatedly thanked Xiao Mu.

If until now, he had harbored doubt about Xiao Mu's abilities because he was introduced by Li Guangyou and hadn't had much interaction with him. Now, however, all of his doubts had vanished.

Deep in his heart, he placed absolute trust in Xiao Mu and even began to admire him.

With someone like Xiao Mu around, the strange happenings in his home would undoubtedly be solved.

However, Xiao Mu looked serious, lost deep in thought, almost as if he hadn't heard Xu Qingyuan's thanks.

Something was wrong!

Something was seriously wrong!

He had utterly failed to notice that there was only a tiny Evil Ghost lurking inside Xu Qingyuan's father. It was as though the Yuan Family's conditions, which in retrospect were so obvious, were a mystery to him.

Xiao Mu had long suspected that the Xu family had been blinded by Heaven's Secret, but now he was realizing that Heaven's Secret's mysterious power was extraordinarily strong.

He didn't see even a tiny ghost hiding inside Xu Qingyuan's father.

This was serious!

Unbelievably serious!

"Mr. Mu, have my family's problems been solved?" asked Xu Qingyuan, hoping against hope, glancing anxiously at Xiao Mu.

Dispelling the Evil Ghost from his father made him wonder whether his house was now problem-free.

Xiao Mu shook his head, looking more serious than ever.

The entity he had just killed was merely an ordinary Evil Ghost. In fact, Xiao Mu doubted whether this ghost was even connected with the strange happenings at the Xu Family's home.

After all, the abnormalities at the Xu Family's home wouldn't be caused by just an ordinary Evil Ghost.

This common Evil Ghost, Xiao Mu even suspected, had perhaps been attracted by the various ominous occurrences that had lowered the luck of the Xu Family and entered from the outside.

"The situation is severe, Mr. Xu, might I inspect your main hall again?" Xiao Mu asked seriously.

"Mr. Mu, you still want to see the main hall?" Though Xu Qingyuan couldn't understand why Xiao Mu wanted to examine his main hall again, he wouldn't oppose any request from Xiao Mu. He quickly replied, "Of course, Mr. Mu, please follow me."

With Xiao Mu in tow, he left the side house to head towards the main hall.

Xiao Mu had already found the main hall of Xu Family peculiar, and now it seemed even stranger.

It appeared as if all things were connected to this main hall. It was this main hall that concealed Heaven's Secret and blurred his spiritual perception, reducing his ability for detection.

In any household, the main hall is the most crucial room.

If an ancestral hall doesn't exist, ancestral rites are held in the main hall with the main door's ceremonial setup in ancient times.

To many families, sitting with one's back facing the main door is a severe taboo. If an ignorant child does this while facing outwards, they risk getting punished.

Typically, this seat is reserved for the emperor, who sits with his back to the north and facing south, symbolizing the supreme power.

In common households, only the ancestors have the privilege to occupy this position.

This shows how important the main hall is.

The existence of the main hall was like an emperor, lofty and supreme, overshadowing all other buildings.

Only when strange phenomena occurred in the main hall of the Xu Family's house, could the secrets of heaven associated with the whole courtyard or even the whole Xu family be concealed, affecting Xiao Mu's spiritual perception.

With great caution, Xu Qingyuan once again led Xiao Mu towards the main hall, scrutinizing every corner even more meticulously than the last time.

However, unfortunately, Xiao Mu still found nothing inside the main hall of the Xu family.

"Mr. Mu, have you found anything?"

Xu Qingyuan couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Mu didn't answer, but kept his head down in thought.

Something was definitely not right!

It was impossible that this main hall had no issues.

Many abnormal occurrences in the Xu Family's house, including the collapse of half of the roof, were probably related to the main hall.

Wait a second!

Thinking about the collapse of half the roof, something clicked, and Xiao Mu's mind flashed with insight.

Half of the roof had collapsed?

The sky was obscured?

Could the problem lie in...

Unable to resist, he looked up at the roof of the main hall of Xu's house. At this moment, Xiao Mu's face had involuntarily lit up with excitement.

Yes, it must be on the roof!

"Mr. Xu, may I go up to the roof of your main hall and have a look?"

Xiao Mu asked.

"Why not? Mr. Mu, if you want to look, let's go."

As for Xiao Mu's suggestion, Xu Qingyuan naturally wouldn't refuse and readily agreed.

This building of Xu family was a two-storeyed villa, the so-called roof was actually the top of the second floor.

Upon reaching the second floor, Xu Qingyuan fetched a ladder and together with Xiao Mu, they climbed up to the roof.

Upon reaching the roof, Xiao Mu immediately walked towards the top of the main hall.

"Mr. Mu, please wait for me!"

Xu Qingyuan hurriedly followed him.

Xu Qingyuan's building had a roof ridge. It wasn't a flat roof. The roof was covered with delicate, round tiles.

The purpose of these round tiles was not only for aesthetic appeal but also to allow rainwater to flow better, preventing leaks into the house.

Xiao Mu went straight to the center of the roof.

It was right above the main entrance, precisely in the center.

In a way, this was the apex of a household, the pinnacle of the Xu family.

As soon as he arrived at this point, even before he actually reached it, Xiao Mu stopped in his tracks.

He had already found something unusual.

The round tile covering the very top center of Xu family's main hall had changed.

Originally, the Xu family's round tiles were purple and extraordinarily beautiful.

But this time, only this one right in the center had changed.

Not quite right, to say it had been replaced wasn't accurate— it had transformed.

This round tile had transformed into a bloody tile.

The entire tile was corroded by fresh blood, and it emitted a strong, nauseating stench. Even from a distance, anyone who smelled this odor, could not help but want to vomit.

"Blech!"

The smell was so intense and laced with strong evil energy that without getting any closer, Xu Qingyuan vomited on the spot.

Not wanting to vomit on the roof of his own main hall, fearing it would ruin the house's luck or something, he quickly covered his mouth with his hand, ran to the edge of the roof, leaned over, and vomited into his own inner courtyard.
