I Made The World Mutate

Chapter 21: The Spirit Tablet Cracked



Xiao Mu stepped out of the Ancestral Hall, holding his Peach Wood Sword.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Xuewen and others, Xiao Mu circled the Ancestral Hall with the Peach Wood Sword in his hand.

The Dao Method Spiritual Energy was channeled through the Peach Wood Sword, and instantly, a golden light circle appeared on the ground.

This golden light, composed of Dao Method Spiritual Energy, can shield against evil absurdity.

However, it's not easy to enclose the Ancestral Hall with the golden Spiritual Energy Light Circle using Dao Method Spiritual Energy; especially since Xiao Mu's realm was still low, and he had limited Dao Method Spiritual Energy within him. Furthermore, out of worry that the Light Circle would not be able to shield the evil absurdity, he deliberately drew it extra large.

This resulted in Xiao Mu having to rest several times while drawing the Light Circle to enclose the Ancestral Hall.

After a few breaks and more than two hours later, he was able to complete the Light Circle.

Suddenly, golden lights shimmered around the Ancestral Hall, encased within the golden Light Circle.

Whether it was Zhao Xuewen, or Tian Wu Wang and Qiao Feng, they were all bewildered by what they saw.

This Mr. Mu was clearly not an ordinary mage.

Which ordinary mage could draw out such miraculous golden circles?

Even though they didn't know the function of the golden circle, their views of Xiao Mu become more mysterious.

"Master, what is this?" Zhao Xuewen couldn't help but approach Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu didn't intend to explain in detail, and he simply said, "Nothing, just doing some arrangements."

"Oh!"

Seeing this, Zhao Xuewen was more stunned, but he did not ask any further.

As the evening approached and the sky darkened, Zhao Xuewen invited everyone to have dinner.

After dinner, they all stayed inside the Ancestral Hall, and no one dared to leave.

Whether it was Xiao Mu, Tian Wu Wang, or Qiao Feng, they all knew very well that judging from the anomaly that appeared in the Zhao Family, the evil entity would definitely appear inside the Ancestral Hall.

"Woof woof!"

In the courtyard, the old dog raised by the Zhao Family started barking furiously.

Subsequently, almost simultaneously, a strong wind blew within the Ancestral Hall out of nowhere.

Everyone was startled, and immediately fell into a state of high alert.

It's here!

There was no doubt, the evil absurdity had appeared.

At that moment, the Everlasting Lamp suddenly went out throwing everyone into darkness, followed by a woman's shrill laughter echoing in everyone's ears.

"Haha! Haha haha!"

"Ghost… a female ghost!"

Zhao Xuewen curled up on the spot in fear.

"I found it first, no one is allowed to snatch it from me, or don't blame me for turning hostile."

With a roar, Tian Wu Wang punched at the black shadow that suddenly appeared by his side.

He was lucky, as the female ghost appeared right next to him.

"Haha! Haha haha!"

The shrill laughter of the female ghost seemed to go on forever, shifting with Tian Wu Wang's punch. For a moment, his punch couldn't even land on her.

Seeing this, Xiao Mu's eyes flickered. Indeed, there was a gap between Martial Arts and Taoist Law, especially when dealing with evil absurdity.

This female ghost that just appeared, her power was probably similar to the Hanging Ghost that he had encountered for the first time. Despite this, Tian Wu Wang still had a tough time dealing with her.

Moreover, Xiao Mu found that Tian Wu Wang obviously had experience dealing with evil ghosts. Tian Wu Wang knew his punches couldn't harm the evil ghost, so with each punch, he forced out his own Blood Qi with his Internal Force to attack the evil ghost.

Finally, three minutes later, Tian Wu Wang landed a punch on the female ghost. The female ghost let out a tragic scream and vanished instantly, killed by Tian Wu Wang's strong Blood Qi.

"Haha!"

In a triumphant laugh, Tian Wu Wang picked up a small transparent Energy Crystal, which was about the same size as what Xiao Mu had obtained from killing the Hanging Ghost.

Upon getting the Energy Crystal, Tian Wu Wang didn't waste any time and immediately clasped the Energy Crystal, starting to absorb its power.

What a pity!

Xiao Mu shook his head secretly, he had not received any energy prompts after King Tianwu killed the female ghost.

It seemed that one cannot gain energy from evil ghosts killed by others.

"Tsk tsk!"

Qiao Feng cast a jealous glance at King Tianwu. He had waited for so long, only one female ghost had appeared, and it appeared next to King Tianwu, who took the lead.

For him, this result was a disappointment.

Fortunately, considering the condition of the Zhao family's ancestral hall, there should be more than just one feeble evil ghost.

"Ha ha!"

After King Tianwu had finished absorbing the energy crystal, feeling a clear increase in his strength, he burst into triumphant laughter.

In between his laughter, he boasted, "No matter how many ghosts like this there are, I'll kill them all. The more, the better."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuewen felt much relieved and less fearful than before. He walked over to King Tianwu, gave him a thumbs-up, and praised, "King Tianwu, you are indeed a young hero. With you here, it seems that my family is safe."

"Needless to say?"

King Tianwu had a smug look on his face, and slapped Zhao Xuewen on the shoulder, "Mr. Zhao, rest assured, with me here, I will definitely keep your family safe and protect your ancestral hall."

"Thank you, King Tianwu, thank you!"

Zhao Xuewen gratefully thanked King Tianwu repeatedly.

"Huh!"

At this moment, suddenly there was a gust of wind in the ancestral hall, however, it was a slight breeze, very thin and small.

Everyone paused, then Qiao Feng and King Tianwu looked elated.

King Tianwu excitedly shouted, "Here they come again, haha! Just like before, don't let anyone compete with me, or don't blame me for being rude."

Qiao Feng snorted coldly, "Similarly, if anyone dares to snatch from me, don't blame me for being rude."

"Damn it!"

Xiao Mu's reaction was completely different from the other two, first he looked alarmed, then almost instinctively glanced at the spiritual tablets on the altar table.

The wind just now was indeed a yin wind, but it wasn't the yin wind that appears when an evil ghost shows up.

The yin wind that comes with an evil ghost is usually violent and carries a vicious momentum.

This momentum signifies harm and affliction, hence it is harsh and violent. Even before the evil ghost appears, the first appearance of this momentum frightens people.

But the yin wind that just arose was a slight and thin breeze, very warm and gentle. Although it was a yin wind, it didn't appear to harm people at all.

Therefore, Xiao Mu guessed that this yin wind must be caused by Zhao Xuewen's grandfather or father.

But Zhao Xuewen's grandfather and father should be underground being besieged by evil ghosts at this time. How could they appear here?

Could it be...

Xiao Mu had a bad feeling in his heart.

Suddenly remembering something, he loudly warned Zhao Xuewen, who was closest to the spirit tablet, "Mr. Zhao, quick, pick up the spirit tablet."

At this moment, having a relative holding the spirit tablet to bear the last blow instead of the soul might give a chance of survival.

Of course, this is just a possibility. This is a method Xiao Mu thought of on the spot, which hasn't been actually tried yet, he himself wasn't certain about it.

However, there is definitely some connection between relatives through blood, which should help to a certain extent.

But the timing has to be exact, it can't come too early or too late, the tablet must be picked up at the instant the spirit tablet breaks.

"What?"

Zhao Xuewen was obviously confused by Xiao Mu's words, and hesitated.

"Sigh!"

Xiao Mu sighed, it was too late. Zhao Xuewen's reaction was too slow, he shouldn't have hesitated.

At the same time, it also implied that he didn't trust Xiao Mu completely.

If he really trusted Xiao Mu, he would have chosen to comply rather than question when hearing his warning.

Just then...

Crack!

The spirit tablet on the altar table suddenly cracked open and bright red blood flowed out, splattering all over the table.
