The evil spirits entered the capital, and the whole city trembled.

Even those Shangjing citizens who had previously been immobilized by the ringing bells of the Siming Sect, losing their sense of awareness, had now reacted.

Upon hearing the commotion of the evil spirits leading ghost soldiers into the city, and sensing the spreading chaos and disorder, they were all terrified. They fled in panic, closing their doors, occasionally hearing the sound of rustling clothes outside, mixed with strange laughter and cries.

They feared that someone would come and smash their doors at any moment, but after waiting for a long time, there was no unusual movement. Instead, they felt that the various demonic and evil energies in Shangjing City did not disturb the people, but all headed towards the Zhisou Pavilion.

"Where is Master? Where did Master go?"

"Who is the young master following? Quickly find someone to ask, is the young master alright?"

At this time, the Wang family mansion was already in chaos. The Wang family's First Madam was extremely panicked, grabbing people everywhere to inquire. Upon learning the news of the evil spirits entering the city, she rushed to find the backbone of the Wang family.

But after asking around, there was no news. She became even more panicked and hurriedly asked, "Where is Doctor Yao? Where is Doctor Fu? Why are they gone too?"

It seemed that the Wang family, who had always been high above in Shangjing City, were living gods in the eyes of the people. Now, overnight, they had fallen to a point where their cries went unanswered.

After a long time of chaos, a servant ran back, crying and shouting, "The master and the young master, as well as several court officials..."

"They all followed the National Preceptor and left the city..."

"..."

The Wang family's First Madam almost collapsed to the ground from the shock of this news.

It was impossible to describe the blow she suffered at that moment. Anger, despair, and misery flashed across her face, but in a moment, she decided to suppress the news.

Without bothering to hate the unfaithful master who had abandoned her other sons and daughters, she hurriedly gathered the remaining manpower in the mansion, including all the capable people who had stayed behind, and quickly defended the mansion.

She knew clearly that since the evil spirits had entered the capital, they might not go to other houses, but how could they miss the Wang family?

However, even though her reaction was not slow, there were not many people she could use. Looking around, the only one she could rely on was the owner of the Caoxin Hall, Zeng Baicao.

He had stayed behind because he was heartbroken and unwilling to watch his daughter be captured. At this moment, he had only borrowed a coffin, placed his daughter's body inside, and was watching from the side, grief-stricken.

The First Madam called him several times, but when she saw that he did not respond, she could only try her best to direct the others, frantically moving out several copper stoves and placing them in various parts of the courtyard, with several fans vigorously fanning them.

Rolling medicinal smoke drifted out, condensed and did not disperse, as if tangible, covering the entire mansion.

Some people were also in a hurry, stringing up red threads in various parts of the courtyard, with silver bells hanging on them. If someone accidentally touched the bells, their fate would be confused, their souls would be left beside the bells, forgetting to walk, and they would be trapped.

They were busy inside the mansion, but outside the black gate, they only heard more and more giggling sounds.

From time to time, people appeared outside the mansion, and eyes peeked through the cracks in the door.

Except for the First Madam, who was pretending to be calm, everyone else inside was panicked.

Those fanning the herbal smoke were fanning even harder, wanting to suffocate the evil spirits outside, but unexpectedly, the commotion outside became more and more intense, and yet no one actually broke into the mansion, which made people even more uneasy.

"They're coming, they're coming..."

Finally, the medicine slaves guarding the gate heard the giggling of the evil spirits outside suddenly stop. They all cried out, and their minds were also on high alert, raising the sticks in their hands.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, the surging clouds of smoke in the sky above the entire courtyard suddenly rolled outwards, as if a giant monster was drawing water like a whale, swallowing it greedily. The dense smoke was instantly swallowed up.

Not only did the smoke in the sky above the courtyard disappear, but even the smoke in the copper stoves that the medicine slaves were trying to fan was instantly emptied, and the sparks dimmed.

Immediately afterwards, countless servants felt a chill down their spines, widened their eyes and looked to the side, and saw that on the rows of red threads, all the silver bells suddenly made a sound at the same time, and then, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping them, the bells shriveled down.

The two hastily arranged defenses were suddenly broken at the same time, and everyone in the courtyard felt as if they had been choked.

No one made a sound.

Creak!

Immediately afterwards, the tightly closed gate was slowly pushed open by a pale hand.

The doors of a doctor's house are not bolted.

Although the Wang family had long become nobles, they had always followed this ancient rule.

But this was, after all, the Wang family's main gate, and not everyone was qualified to push it open. But now, these two doors were easily opened, all the way to the fullest extent, and the Wang family's medicine slaves, who were guarding the gate with their sticks raised high, were also frozen on the spot.

Outside the door was pitch black, and they only saw a tall, slender woman standing outside with a cold expression. Then, she walked in slowly with a grim look in her eyes.

It was Miss White Wine, who had returned to human form, and before transforming, she had changed into a new set of clothes.

As she stepped over the threshold, the lights in the entire courtyard flickered in unison.

She was tall and slender, with a cold and aloof temperament, but also with a hint of frailty. But behind her, followed a group of people with profound auras and frivolous expressions, their shadows scattered, grotesque and狰狞.

The moment these people appeared, they immediately scared the Wang family members into taking a subconscious step back, not even daring to look directly at their faces, their bodies trembling like sieves.

And Zeng Baicao, the owner of Caoxin Hall, who was beside the coffin, looking at his daughter's corpse inside the coffin, trembled violently. He looked at the white figure who had walked in from the gate, then weakly turned his head and glanced at the identical corpse of his daughter inside the coffin.

He could naturally recognize which one was his daughter. As if he had lost all the bones in his body, he trembled and said to Miss White Wine, "Girl, you..."

"Mr. Zeng, don't call me by the wrong name. Your daughter is lying in the coffin."

Miss White Wine said coldly, then moved her gaze away and swept across the courtyard, her voice faint: "I am here to question the Wang family."

"You..."

It was only at this time that the Wang family's First Madam mustered up the courage to shout loudly: "You are a disciple of Caoxin Hall under our family. Where do you get the courage to say that you...you want to question the Wang family?"

Miss White Wine coldly looked at the First Madam and replied coldly, "I am an evil spirit!"

"What is there that I dare not do?"

"..."

All the questions, anxieties, and struggles were cut off cleanly by this sentence.

Some of the Wang family's soldiers and medicine slaves knew that something was wrong and struggled desperately, but the incident was sudden and they were not prepared enough.

Moreover, the Siming Sect was not good at close combat, not to mention that the real capable people in charge had all left with the National Preceptor. Among the remaining people, the most capable Zeng Baicao was not necessarily a match for his daughter now. The Wang family members were subdued in an instant.

Miss White Wine turned a blind eye to the chaos in the mansion and strode forward, passing through two courtyards and walking deeper and deeper until she finally arrived at a shady and hidden place, which was now covered with layers of seals, making it look mysterious and strange.

She took a deep breath and exhaled suddenly, blowing off the seals above.

The wooden door creaked open, and countless faces behind her crowded up at the same time, seeing the things inside the medicine room.

The huge flesh and blood pill furnace, and the purple Qi that occasionally drifted out beside the pill furnace, fell into their eyes.

Instantly, countless faces changed.

Not everyone was a member of the Siming Sect and could see what it was, but they all felt the evil nature of this thing.

At this time, Miss White Wine also exhaled softly, her voice seeming to tremble: "This pill furnace is the foundation of Shangjing City today. Everyone in Shangjing City is related to it, even the four reincarnated ones should be..."

"They were also refined from this pill furnace."

"..."

After a long time, someone with more courage whispered, "Then what...what exactly is this thing?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this..."

Miss White Wine glanced at everyone and said in a low voice, "It's a Zisui blood food mine." (Purple Tai Sui blood food mine)

"It's just that..."

"And this blood food mine is actually alive."

"Underneath it, there is something we may have never seen before. It can even change us."

"Turning us into something with our memories, thoughts, and natal spirit temples, but that is invisibly controlled by others."

"It's like being rebuilt in a furnace."

"..."

"..."

"Related to Tai Sui?"

At this time, in the Hu family mansion, Hu Ma was slightly startled when he heard Erguotou's words.

Erguotou nodded seriously, his expression solemn: "The Hu family's Town Age Book actually hides the method of suppressing Tai Sui."

Hu Ma was a little shocked for a moment and hurriedly said, "Then the first generation of reincarnated sacrifices you mentioned..."

Erguotou sighed slowly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the deaths of the first generation of reincarnated people and the Hu family's ghost walkers may not be the truth of the first great purge. The real truth should be that they joined forces and perished together with some kind of fierce creature."

"This is the real truth that was hidden by the Da Luo Faction."

"..."

Although what Erguotou said was just speculation, Hu Ma couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"If there is evidence for such a thing..."

"..."

"There is."

At this time, someone outside the door suddenly took over the conversation. Old Suanpan appeared outside the hall.

He looked different from any other time. His gaze towards Hu Ma contained both awe and sigh.

After speaking, he seemed to hesitate slightly, and then respectfully lifted his long robe and knelt down to Hu Ma, kowtowing solemnly, and then said, "The Patriarch said that you are the chief priest of the Da Luo Faction, so you should know everything."
