Around him, Chen Yuantu stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the barrier shrouded in black mist, a smug expression on his face.
"Little Beasts, this time I want to see how you two survive!" Chen Yuantu thought to himself, already envisioning the grim fate of Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
At that moment, within the barrier, an invisible force seemed to soar into the sky, enveloping the heads of the Chen Family members. The once clear sky suddenly turned turbulent, and beams of Radiance converged from all directions, surrounding the Chen Family in a dazzling glow.
What is happening?
The sudden change caused everyone present to gasp in surprise, looking at each other with expressions of shock and confusion.
Could it be that our ancestors have manifested? Someone shouted this thought aloud, instantly stirring a commotion among the crowd.
They looked up and saw the Radiance growing ever more intense until it transformed into a massive light dome that completely enveloped the Chen Family.
On that dome, faintly visible were ethereal figures nodding toward the Chen Family members, their faces kind and benevolent.
It is our ancestors' protection! This is the power of ancestral guardianship!
In that moment, those within the dome erupted in excitement. A gasp echoed through the crowd, and this time, as they looked at Chen Yuantu, their expressions held not just shock but also a newfound respect and flattery.
Chen Yuantu had already become a prominent figure in the court, and his children were exceptionally gifted prodigies. Now with the protection of their ancestors, a bright future surely awaited them.
Indeed, it truly is ancestral guardianship! This phenomenon only occurs when great matters arise for the family!
Wuding Hou has actually invoked ancestral protection; could it be that by acting against his own kin he has triggered this blessing?
In an instant, various discussions filled the air as envious glances turned toward Chen Yuantu.
"My Lord, what on earth is happening?" Xu Yan'er asked in astonishment, her eyes reflecting her bewilderment.
This was truly unexpected; they had done nothing yet had managed to summon ancestral protection—how wonderful!
At this moment, Chen Yuantu was equally perplexed. He had merely intended to eliminate Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, those thorns in his side, but he never anticipated invoking ancestral guardianship instead.
As a cunning old fox, Chen Yuantu quickly regained his composure. With a humble expression, he said: "Though they have severed their blood ties with me, they still carry my blood. To receive such a Reward from our ancestors fills me with guilt!"
Wuding Hou is truly a person of great righteousness! These two wretches deserve to die!
Under Chen Yuantu's deliberate guidance, the crowd's gazes towards Chen Li and Shen Qingyue were filled with contempt and disgust. The elegantly dressed Zhou looked at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue within the barrier, her eyes devoid of any concern, instead brimming with satisfaction. She sneered, "Hmph! Two little beasts daring to defy their ancestors, this is your fate!"
In an instant, apart from the Shen Family, everyone else showered praises upon Chen Yuantu. The once peaceful Radiance suddenly began to churn violently, its vibrant colors gradually replaced by a dark, ominous cloud.
Boom!
The deafening sound of thunder erupted as thick bolts of lightning danced through the dark clouds, resembling writhing silver serpents that exuded a terrifying aura. What was happening? Why had the ancestral protection turned into this? Had the ancestors become enraged?
The sudden turn of events plunged everyone back into confusion and panic. They could not comprehend what was occurring.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning as thick as a barrel struck down from the dense clouds, targeting the people below in the Wuding Marquisate. The thunderclap was so loud it felt as if it would shatter their eardrums, and they could feel the ground beneath them tremble violently.
The speed of the lightning was astonishing; before anyone could react to what was happening, they saw that bolt crash down onto the barrier protecting Wuding Marquisate!
Crack!
The barrier shook violently but managed to withstand the assault of the lightning! Chen Yuantu breathed a sigh of relief at this sight. How could the ancestral protection suddenly attack? Before he could finish his thought, he noticed cracks appearing on the barrier!
Crack! Crack!
The cracks multiplied and grew denser until, with a deafening roar, the barrier shattered into countless specks of starlight, dissipating into the heavens!
The bolt of lightning struck down with unrelenting force, crashing onto the heads of everyone in the Wuding Marquisate!
Ah!
Zhou was the first to bear the brunt of it, letting out a piercing scream before being struck directly by the lightning. Her meticulously styled hair was now singed and standing on end, resembling a frizzled wildcat. Her face bore deep, charred marks from the strike, making her look terrifying.
"Mother!"
Chen Yuantu and Xu Yan'er exclaimed in shock. In an instant, they unleashed their vital energy, forming two barriers to shield Zhou.
Boom!
The force of the lightning slammed against the barriers, causing Chen Yuantu and Xu Yan'er to grunt in pain. Their faces turned pale as blood trickled from the corners of their mouths. The power of the lightning was overwhelmingly terrifying; despite their strong defenses, they were still thrown back violently, crashing heavily to the ground.
At that moment, Chen Yuantu and Xu Yan'er were far from their former imposing selves. Chen Yuantu's luxurious garments were torn to shreds by the lightning, exposing his charred skin beneath, leaving him looking utterly disheveled. Xu Yan'er fared little better; her once exquisite makeup was now a smeared mess, with her face marked by blackened streaks that made her resemble a vengeful spirit.
Both gasped for breath as if they had narrowly escaped death.
After a brief silence, the crowd erupted into a cacophony of astonished voices.
"What just happened? Why did the ancestral punishment strike down upon Wuding Hou?"
"Indeed! What could have led to this? Did Wuding Hou do something to offend our ancestors?"
"How is that possible? Wuding Hou is a loyal minister of our Qian Sheng Empire; he would never disrespect our ancestors!"
Yet, there was no denying that the lightning had indeed struck Wuding Hou!
In an instant, various discussions filled the air as people looked at Chen Yuantu with confusion and disbelief. Only the Shen Family wore expressions of delight.
"Hahaha! This is retribution; this is what you get!"
Shen Yunlei couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of the disheveled Chen Yuantu.
