"Ah!"

A scream erupted as an Evil Ghost fell from the Spirit Tablet of Xu Qingyuan's grandfather, only to be quickly slain.

Power +1.

Xiao Mu received the prompt.

"How... how…"

Xu Qingyuan approached, looking incredulously at the unfolding scene. He always harbored a slight hope, wishing that his grandfather was real, but now he realized he was impersonated by an evil ghost.

This is…

Bending down, Xiao Mu picked something up from the ground.

It had fallen from the Evil Ghost when it was slain, a thin, transparent object resembling skin.

It felt icy to the touch, emanating a Yin Qi.

Xiao Mu shuddered.

From this Blood Skin, he sensed a familiar energy, the power of the Xu family's Ancestral Bloodline.

This skin… Could it be?

An unsettling suspicion arose in Xiao Mu's mind.

This Blood Skin likely belonged to Xu Qingyuan's grandfather. It was Ghost Skin, peeled off by the Evil Ghost from his grandfather.

No wonder the Evil Ghost could transform into Xu Qingyuan's grandfather. It didn't use any transformation skills but wore the skin of Xu Qingyuan's grandfather's Yin Spirit.

As he held the Blood Skin, a sense of discomfort immediately erupted in his heart. Subconsciously, Xiao Mu wanted to burn it away with a Fire Talisman.

But then, thinking of something, he immediately changed his mind and handed it to Xu Qingyuan, "Keep this."

Xu Qingyuan looked at the Blood Skin, full of fear and uncertainty, and dared not take it, "Mr…Mr. Mu…what…what is this?"

Xiao Mu didn't dare to tell him what it was. If Xu Qingyuan knew this was Ghost Skin torn from his grandfather's Yin Spirit by an Evil Ghost, he would surely be frightened, and definitely would not dare to touch the Blood Skin.

"Just keep it. Wrap it in cloth. It may prove useful."

Xiao Mu said.

"Can…Can I touch it? Will it cause any problems?"

Xu Qingyuan asked tremblingly.

He clearly saw the Blood Skin drop from the Evil Ghost after Xiao Mu killed it. He worried that touching it might curse him or something similar.

"Don't worry, there's no problem."

Xiao Mu reassured him.

This skin came from Xu Qingyuan's grandfather. Others might have issues touching it. But for Xu Qingyuan, it poses no problem at all.

After all, they share the same origin and are connected by bloodline.

Even in terms of preserving this Blood Skin, Xu Qingyuan was the best candidate; much better than Xiao Mu himself holding it.

"Okay, alright."

Xu Qingyuan accepted it cautiously, and wrapped it in cloth.

Picking up the Energy Crystal and condensing the evil aura into an evil spirit bead, Xiao Mu once again inspected the Ancestral Hall and deliberately checked the thirteen Spirit Tablets of the hall again.

Of the thirteen Spirit Tablets, except for Ancestor Xu, all other spirit lights on the tablets were extinguished. Even the spirit light on Ancestor Xu's tablet was dim, indicating an imminent extinguishment.

"Let's go, let's check the separate Ancestral Hall dedicated to your family's ancestoral."

Xiao Mu said.

"Okay, Mr. Mu, please follow me."

Xu Qingyuan once again led the way.

Upon reaching the door and seeing the small graves with lit incense, Xu Qingyuan stopped, "Mr. Mu, what...what do we do about these?"

Xiao Mu thought for a moment, "Don't worry about them for now. Remember, do not touch them. They are extremely dangerous, touching them will surely lead to death. Let them be, let them dry out naturally."

Those were Nether Soil, too abundant for even Xiao Mu to dare touch lightly. Fortunately, over time, prolonged exposure to sunlight will gradually dissipate the Yin Qi.

"Okay!"

Xu Qingyuan trusted Xiao Mu completely. Without any hesitation, he immediately left this Ancestral Hall, heading towards another one.

The other Ancestral Hall, more appropriately said as a temple for Ancestor Xu.

Of course, it differed from a temple. After all, Ancestor Xu didn't receive any official posthumous title, still being regarded as a Yin Spirit.

Even though he served as a general in the previous dynasty, without being given an official rank, he was still an ordinary Yin Spirit after death.

The difference was that this ordinary Yin Spirit had many descendants whose bloodlines, when swallowed, benefited the Evil Absurdity greatly.

"How... How could this be?"

Upon entering the private ancestral hall of Ancestor Xu, Xu Qingyuan was frightened.

In the Ancestor Xu's ancestral hall, the sculpted image was shattered, and the spirit tablet was destroyed. The entire ancestral hall was in chaos, as if rampaged by locusts, thoroughly swept clean.

Xiao Mu, however, paid no attention to these.

Just entering the ancestral hall of Ancestor Xu, he couldn't help but attentively listen.

Surprisingly, in this ancestral hall, he heard some bizarre sounds.

It was a kind of music, but clearly not of the human world, but rather a kind of eerie ghostly sound.

Compared to the music of the human world, this was an evil sound, which can harm the mind of an ordinary person.

"Ah!"

Xu Qingyuan suddenly grabbed his head in pain and squatted down, his expression twisted.

Although he was an ordinary person, unable to hear the eerie ghostly music, it still affected him, threatening to destroy his sanity.

"Haste!"

Xiao Mu timely threw a Ward Off Evil Talisman on Xu Qingyuan.

Xu Qingyuan's pain gradually ceased, and he slowly got up, asking Xiao Mu in shock, "Mr. Mu, what just happened? Why did I suddenly get a headache?"

"Stand away, do not disturb me."

Xiao Mu had no mood to answer his question, simply saying this.

Seeing this, Xu Qingyuan hurriedly backed away, careful not to disturb Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu immediately started investigating the room.

The eerie sounds were not originating from this room, but were seeping in from somewhere else through a special method.

So where exactly did these sounds originate from?

Xiao Mu was searching.

Soon, he made a discovery and pushed aside the altar table.

Underneath the altar table, there was a circle that ordinary people couldn't see.

The circle was filled with Yin Qi, and also reflected the Xu family's bloodline power, appearing extremely odd.

Could it be that the altar is located underneath this?

Xiao Mu couldn't help but speculate.

Pulling out his Peach Wood Sword, he struck down with it.

Crack!

A thunderous sound echoed, and a blood-soaked path immediately appeared before his eyes.

"This… this…"

Xu Qingyuan was completely stunned.

This was clearly the road he had dreamed about, and he didn't expect it to appear here, in his ancestor's ancestral hall.

"Mr. Mu, this… this…this is that path, the path covered in blood that I dreamt about."

Xu Qingyuan said to Xiao Mu in a panic.

"Shush!"

Xiao Mu urgently silenced Xu Qingyuan, instructing him not to speak.

From the end of this blood-soaked path, he faintly heard a certain sound, the sound emitted by evil ghosts.

The air was full of Blood Qi, and there were even blood demons inside.

Judging from the energy, this was likely not an ordinary blood demon, but a Blue Blood Ghost.

This was big trouble!

If it was a green blood demon, Xiao Mu might still charge in directly to confront it, but he needed to be more cautious with a Blue Blood Ghost.

In addition to the Blue Blood Ghost, there were other evil ghosts present, and not just a few.

Xiao Mu even speculated that there could be green blood demons present as well, but their energy was overshadowed by the Blue Blood Ghost, so he couldn't perceive them.

"Let's leave for now. I will return after I make the necessary preparations."

Xiao Mu carefully left the circle.

As soon as he did, the circle returned to its original state, as if no one had touched it.

Xiao Mu casually pulled the altar table back, keeping everything as it was.
