However, he had passed away a few months ago, and this time, Nangong Duoduo was escorting his ancestral tablet back to the family’s ancestral hall.

Everyone was somewhat surprised; it was indeed frightening for a deceased person to suddenly appear, though they were all people who had weathered many storms and thus did not react too exaggeratedly.

Nangong Duoduo turned to the others and said, “The person inside is not my grandfather, to be precise.

The exorcism that I’ve asked you all to perform is aimed at him.”

“I am here to observe mourning for my grandfather, and I come to clean the hall every day.

A week ago, I suddenly saw my grandfather’s figure in the hall.

At first, I thought he had come back to life, but after closer observation, I realized the person in the hall had no physical body and looked more like a ghost.”

“He kept repeating the motions of cleaning the hall, and as soon as I entered, he would tell me that there was a regret in his heart that left him no peace even after death.

What I saw was his lingering Yin Soul.

As long as that regret remains unfulfilled, his soul will not dissipate.”

“But my grandfather passed away very peacefully and told me that he was very content with his life and had no regrets.”

“Therefore, I suspect that the Yin Soul inside is not my grandfather, and it’s very likely something foul masquerading as my grandfather, trying to bewitch me.”

“The reason I invited you here today is to clarify what exactly that thing inside is, and to purify it.”

“Upon success, I will give each person who contributes a two-hundred-year medicinal herb as a reward.”

Everyone suddenly understood.

The Taoist in the Taoist robe asked, “Miss Nangong, what is the regret mentioned by the person inside?”

Nangong Duoduo replied, “He said that during his life he had promised a friend to help him forge a Formation, but he broke his word.

This friend was a close friend of his, and the failure to accomplish this task left him restless, so he wants me to help complete the Formation.”

“He told me that this close friend would come to look for me soon, an old man with gaunt features and a pair of small mustaches.”

“But I do not remember such a person among my grandfather’s friends, nor did he ever mention such an unfulfilled promise.”

The Taoist thought for a moment, then said, “Miss Nangong, you are less experienced with the affairs of ghosts and deities, so you are unfamiliar with the ways of our trade.

It is indeed said that a lingering Yin Soul exists, typically due to unfulfilled wishes from life, and they use the soul to give descendants dreams or create phenomena that ordinary people cannot understand to achieve their purposes.”

“The old Master Nangong was a powerful man in life, and if he had unresolved wishes, it is possible that his soul would directly manifest in the hall.”

“As for the regret he mentioned, it might well be true.

The Old Master Nangong experienced many things and knew many people in his life; it’s impossible for you to know everything, but skepticism is normal.”

“I tend to believe that it is really the Old Master Nangong’s Yin Soul in the hall.

If we directly attempt to exorcise it as such, I’m afraid it would chill his heart beyond the grave.”

Many people nodded in agreement with this statement.

Nangong Duoduo furrowed her brows, “So it really is my grandfather, who, unfulfilled, turned into a Yin Soul and approached me to complete his wish?”

The Taoist replied, “Miss Nangong, there’s no need to rush.

Whether it is or not, we’ll find out once we enter and verify inside the hall.”

“The Old Master Nangong was immensely powerful in life; if it’s truly his Yin Soul inside, then naturally, our methods will not be effective against him.

But if it’s just an evil spirit, we will surely be able to exorcise it easily.”

The others echoed in agreement.

They had already agreed before coming that if action was to be taken, they would act together, and then they would share the rewards.

After all, the Nangong family was wealthy and providing each of them with a two-hundred-year medicinal herb was a small gesture for them.

Nangong Duoduo nodded and said, “Then I’ll trouble everyone.”

The Taoist immediately led the crowd toward the ancestral temple.

Only Lu Chuan and Han Qingci stood still, unmoved.

Nangong Duoduo, puzzled, asked, “Why aren’t you two going in?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Like Miss Nangong, I am skeptical about what’s inside, so I’d rather wait and see for now.”

He had already noticed that although Nangong Duoduo was charming, there was a tuft of black energy lingering at her brow, making her look sickly, which was extremely abnormal for a Profound Realm skillful expert.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Nangong Duoduo’s spirit must have been eroded.

Had she been an ordinary person, she would have fallen unconscious by now; she was only persevering by virtue of her strength.

If the entity inside was indeed the Yin Soul of Old Master Nangong, even with unfulfilled wishes, it certainly wouldn’t have such an impact on his descendants, so Lu Chuan felt that it wasn’t Old Master Nangong’s Yin Soul inside.

Nangong Duoduo sized up Lu Chuan, thinking this guy looked nothing out of the ordinary, and he had secretly talked about me earlier.

Perhaps he’s just here for the excitement.

He says he’s observing, but in reality, he probably doesn’t have the guts to go in.

With that thought, a hint of scorn appeared in Nangong Duoduo’s eyes, and she crossed her arms, no longer speaking.

As soon as the Taoist and others entered the ancestral temple, the door closed on its own.

About ten minutes later.

The door of the ancestral temple suddenly opened, and more than a dozen people, including the Taoist, were all sent flying out.

The Taoist’s Peach Wood Sword was broken, the umbrella held by one person was torn to shreds, and the spirit snake around the neck of the person who brought it was dead.

All of their methods had been countered, not a single one was spared.

Everyone’s face bore an expression of terror, as if they had experienced something incredibly frightening.

Seeing this, Nangong Duoduo hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “What’s the situation?

Is that thing inside my grandfather’s Yin Soul or an evil entity?”

The Taoist, still shaken, said, “Miss Nangong, that is definitely your grandfather’s Yin Soul.

Other than his lingering Yin Soul, we can’t imagine any evil entity that could be so terrifying.”

“Moreover, all of our Magic Artifacts have been destroyed; if it were an evil entity, it definitely couldn’t do such a thing!”

The others nodded in agreement.

Nangong Duoduo turned her head to look inside the ancestral temple, only to see the old man in white still cleaning, as if nothing had happened.

“Is it really…

my grandfather’s Yin Soul?”

The Taoist stood up and said, “Miss Nangong, you should help your grandfather fulfill his unfulfilled wishes.

Only then can he rest in peace!”

Nangong Duoduo believed the Taoist’s words and nodded solemnly, saying, “I understand.

When my grandfather’s close friend arrives, I will cooperate fully.”

However, it was at this moment that Lu Chuan stepped forward and said, “That thing inside is not your grandfather’s Yin Soul at all.

Don’t listen to this Taoist spouting nonsense!”
