Ye Yang's plan was feasible, but it required close cooperation from all of us to implement.

If any one of us was even slightly negligent, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But we didn't have time to hone our tacit understanding; we could only leave it to fate.

After I finished drawing the five portraits, it was already noon the next day.

It should have been a day of bright sunshine, but the sky above Ningkang Temple was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

I stood at the window, looking at the silent Ningkang Temple, and said, "Doctor, let me ask you a question. If all the ghosts in Ningkang Temple riot and come out to stop our plan, what will you do?"

The doctor couldn't help but be stunned.

I looked at Ningkang Temple and said, "You don't want to become an immortal, but some people do. Even a ghost immortal, there will be people flocking to it."

"I'm not asking what happened to the ghosts imprisoned in Ningkang Temple, but I want to know, are you two the only guards of the Luan family in Ningkang Temple?"

The doctor said, "Only the two of us count. There are also some ghosts of the Luan family who are unrestricted and can move freely in Ningkang Temple, but they can't get out of the gate."

I said softly, "That's who I'm talking about."

"If they want to become immortals and release all the ghosts to stop us, will you be able to bring yourself to attack them then?"

The doctor thought for a long time before saying helplessly, "I don't know!"

I said softly, "Do what you have to do! And prepare for the worst."

"Don't harbor any illusions, and don't have any expectations."

"Don't think that Luan Jingfan can break the restriction and let you leave Ningkang Temple after becoming a ghost immortal."

"Luan Jingfan may remember a bit of old affection. However, Ningkang hates you to the bone. She and Luan Jingfan were originally one. After they become immortals, Ningkang's first thought will be to slaughter you all."

"The best outcome is to continue imprisoning you in Ningkang Temple, so you'll never see the light of day."

I paused and said, "We're going to make our move tonight. I need to rest for a while. Don't you need to rest?"

The doctor mumbled, "I'm going to rest now!"

The doctor had no intention of resting at all. Instead, he quietly went to a large hall in the back. What he didn't know was that Wang Xiaohuan had already cast a witch's curse on him, and his every move was under our surveillance.

When the doctor hurriedly pushed open the door to a secret room, it was already in an uproar inside.

Someone slammed the table and said, "I don't agree! It's a great thing for the family head to become an immortal. When one achieves the Dao, all his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. The family head will surely lead us to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Someone sighed, "No wonder the family head insisted on not opening the restriction despite our bitter pleas back then. It turns out it was to achieve our immortal fate!"

"I knew the family head wouldn't abandon us! It turns out she has an even bigger surprise waiting for us."

"We owe the family head an apology!"

I couldn't see the scene on the doctor's side, but I could hear them talking.

I couldn't help but shake my head and said, "People are so fond of fantasy. Even though they know something is impossible, they always like to think in a way that benefits them."

"Is it possible to achieve something just by thinking about it?"

Ye Yang said faintly, "Look at the doctor's attitude!"

The doctor finally spoke, "Everyone, listen to me, our family head..."

The doctor's words were roughly the same as what I had said.

Someone shouted sharply, "Shut up! I think you've been brainwashed by those outsiders."

"The opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm is rare, even once in ten thousand years. If we miss the family head's ascension, when will we have such an opportunity?"

"Even if someone else becomes an immortal, will they take us with them?"

"The family head's immortal fortune is right in front of us. Not only do you not want it, but you also want to plot against the family head with a few outsiders. What are your intentions?"

The doctor may have wanted to defend himself, but there were too many people accusing him.

The truth of this world may be in the hands of a few, but reason must be in the hands of the majority. When everyone thinks a wrong is right, you have no choice but to accept your fate.

Even a human emperor cannot escape this kind of sorrow.

The emperor can use killing to silence the majority, but while those people's mouths are shut, they are holding back their energy and waiting to see your jokes, even trying to make you a joke.

Only in this way can they prove their correctness.

Even if the facts prove that they are still wrong, they will find a way to make the wrong become right.

The doctor remained silent until the other party's voice slightly weakened, and then found a chance to shout, "Elder, what do you decide?"

An old voice said, "Your worries are not without reason."

"The clansmen's thoughts are also understandable. After all, the family is our foundation, and the clan leader is also the clan leader of the Luan family."

"As for those outsiders..."

The Great Elder paused and said, "They must be seeking something from Ningkang Temple. Just give them what they want, let them leave quickly, and don't interfere in our Luan family's affairs."
