Chapter 546: Chapter 546: The Ancestor Finds the Origin

Jiangli spoke in a subdued voice, "This can be done. When I lay out the formation, I will exercise restraint. You can rest assured."

Qi Guowen forced a smile, "Of course, of course. Since we have invited the master here, we naturally trust the master. Please help us perform a ritual."

Jiangli nodded, gestured to Xia Xin with a hooked finger, signaling him to bring over the items.

Xia Xin immediately brought the items over.

Jiangli pointed to a tree root, "Along the tree root, lay a layer of Incense Ash on both the tree root and the coffin."

Xia Xin acknowledged with a ’yes’ and carefully began his work with a bucket of Incense Ash.

Jiangli then took out a Talisman and held it in the palm of his hand.

The entire Qi Family was focused intently on watching from the side.

The young man initially scolded by Jiangli walked up to Qi Guowen and whispered, "Uncle, why don’t we let the master kill the person who harmed us?"

Qi Guowen immediately glared at him, "What do you know?" He rebuked him in a low voice, "My grandfather was a Feng Shui Master. I’ve heard them say that real masters in this profession won’t engage in deeds that harm one’s moral integrity, and it’s certainly impossible for them to harm others. Do you think they would damage their own moral integrity just to do your bidding? Unless it’s someone who practices evil cultivation, it’s absolutely impossible!"

The youth curled his lip dismissively, "I think it’s a matter of the money not being enough. If the price were right, they would do anything. Money talks."

Qi Guowen, his face turning dark with anger, retorted, "Indeed, there are such people, but a truly good master wouldn’t do such things. My grandfather and your great-grandfather never did. One must act with a conscience. There are bad apples in every field, but since they haven’t killed any of our family members, we don’t need to be so aggressively righteous. When does the cycle of vengeance end? If it escalates to murder, it will be hard to settle things later!"

The young man remained unimpressed.

Seeing him dismissive, Qi Guowen couldn’t be bothered to speak further and impatiently said to the man beside him, "Qi Guowei, take your son back right away. His mind is not right; take him home for treatment."

Qi Guowei, unaware of what had happened, but seeing his usually good-tempered older brother angry, immediately stepped forward and pulled his son away.

The young man did not think he was in the wrong and continued to curse Qi Guowen in his heart.

Meanwhile.

Xia Xin had already laid out a layer of Incense Ash as Jiangli instructed.

With the Talisman Paper in hand, Jiangli threw it towards the tree root.

There was a booming noise, and the tree root burst into flames.

Streams of black smoke rose straight up into the sky, the plume of smoke shooting upwards.

The flames also climbed straight up along the tree root towards the treetop.

The onlookers were spellbound.

Before long, someone smelled something burning.

"What’s that smell? There was no odor when the tree was burning just now, why is there one now?"

The crowd sniffed the air.

Jiangli glanced over and saw, about a dozen meters away from the Qi Family ancestral grave, another grave mound surrounded by a brick wall, with the mound itself sealed in a layer of cement.

However, plumes of black smoke were now rising from the cemented grave mound.

Jiangli pointed and asked, "Whose grave is that?"

Qi Guowen turned his head following Jiangli’s finger and his eyes widened suddenly, "Isn’t that my granduncle’s grave?"

Jiangli furrowed his brows, "Your granduncle?"

Qi Guowen nodded, "Yes, that belongs to my grandfather’s youngest brother. There were four brothers in my grandfather’s generation, and my grandfather was the eldest. This is the grave of his youngest brother."

Jiangli clicked his tongue, "So it’s an internal family feud."

Qi Guowen suddenly realized, "You mean, the one who harmed our family is the family of my younger granduncle?"

Jiangli confirmed, "Hmm, your grandfather’s side is a Feng Shui treasure spot, but not that side."
