Chapter 160
He stared unblinkingly at Pei Chiyao in astonishment, he... he was exactly who?! Who was this man?!
At that moment, Zhi Yao's voice interrupted Anthony's thoughts.
The little girl looked at the grand mansion in front of her, very amazed, "What a big house! It must have cost a fortune."
Pei Chiyao looked at Zhi Yao helplessly, "Don't you remember anything at all?"
Zhi Yao shook her head, "No, I've never been here before, how could I remember anything?"
It seemed that this silly fox had been sealed very thoroughly.
Pei Chiyao didn't say anything more to Zhi Yao, and directly stepped into that mansion.
Anthony wanted to stop him, but it was too late, "No! Don't go in! There's a Ji Family seal at the entrance! Anyone who's not from the Ji Family can't enter!"
Then... he watched helplessly as Pei Chiyao stepped inside.
The slap in the face came too fast, like a tornado.
Anthony was completely dumbfounded, frozen like a wooden chicken.
Everything that had happened today had completely overturned Anthony's understanding.
How could this be... how could this be?!
Pei Chiyao actually went in!
Although they didn't belong here now, and the people around couldn't see them, as the first exorcist family, the Ji Family's reputation was no empty name.
The seal at the entrance, let alone living people, even the stray ghosts within a hundred miles couldn't get close.
Could it be... could it be... an impossible thought arose in Anthony's mind.
But... how could that be possible!
He absolutely didn't believe it.
Yet after Pei Chiyao stepped into the Ji Family's residence, he acted as if he was in his own home, walking straight to the Ji Family's ancestral hall with practiced ease.
In the center and highest position of that ancestral hall, there was a spirit tablet placed prominently, with three words engraved on it - Ji Qingpei.
At first, Zhi Yao didn't see it, she was still looking around curiously in Pei Chiyao's arms, until Pei Chiyao stopped in his tracks, and the little girl finally came to her senses and looked at the scene in front of her.
Ji Qingpei...
Those three words seemed so familiar.
"It's so familiar!" she blurted out, causing Pei Chiyao's figure to suddenly stiffen.
"You remember?"
Zhi Yao pondered for a while, then her golden eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously, "Yeah! I remember now!"
Pei Chiyao looked at Zhi Yao in disbelief, "You really remember?!"
"Yeah! Those three words were also engraved on the hilt of that golden blade."
Pei Chiyao: "..." Simply speaking... to the deaf.
He glared fiercely at Zhi Yao, this was the first time Zhi Yao had been scolded by Pei Chiyao, and the little girl was so scared that she couldn't help but shrink her neck, "You're being mean to me!"
The little fox felt a bit wronged.
Pei Chiyao had no time to deal with this fox who had gotten his hopes up for nothing.
He put Zhi Yao down and instructed her, "Stay right here, don't wander off."
After saying that, he walked up to the spirit tablet.
Anthony immediately became wary, no matter what, this was his Ji Family ancestor's spirit tablet, he absolutely could not let an outsider touch it.
"What are you going to do!" he quickly stepped in front of Pei Chiyao, shielding those spirit tablets with his arms.
"Get out of the way." Pei Chiyao didn't even look at Anthony.
The pressure emanating from his body made Anthony's heart tremble, and immediately after, he couldn't help but start trembling, "You... you..."
He was so shaken that his teeth were chattering, unable to speak a complete sentence...
But even so, Anthony still stubbornly shielded those spirit tablets in front of him.
Although he had never met these ancestors, but... these were ultimately his ancestors! He could tell that Pei Chiyao intended to destroy these spirit tablets, and he absolutely would not let Pei Chiyao succeed!
"I'll say it one last time, get out of the way."
Pei Chiyao raised an eyebrow, "I'm just taking back what belongs to me."
"Pfft!" Anthony stuttered, "What belongs to you! This is... this is the Ji Family's property... you... you're not even from the Ji Family!"
As his words fell, Pei Chiyao was too lazy to waste any more words with Anthony.
Anthony had served his purpose by leading him to Xuanling Town, for everything else... he knew it all in his heart.
Pei Chiyao narrowed his eyes, suddenly raising his hand, gathering a dazzling white light in his palm, before Anthony could react, that white light shot straight at Anthony's face, the immense spiritual force shaking Anthony until he couldn't breathe.
In the next second, he was thrown out, straight to the entrance.
The pain was so intense that it felt like his internal organs were being churned.
Anthony never expected Pei Chiyao to actually hurt him, and before he could react, he then saw that demented man about to defile the spirit tablets!
This time, Anthony regretted deeply, he had actually led this man here! It was simply... simply inviting the wolf into the house.
At this moment, he even forgot to ponder the question of "why Pei Chiyao could touch the spirit tablets", his heart filled only with remorse.
"Pei Chiyao... you... you'll regret this!"
Just as he finished saying that, there was a loud "bang" from the entrance, instantly attracting everyone's attention, interrupting Pei Chiyao's actions.
At the entrance appeared a tall figure, wearing a deep blue robe, striding in with billowing sleeves, carrying an air of dignity, his steps quick as he walked straight in.
However, to everyone's surprise... after this man entered, all the spirit tablets in the ancestral hall began to tremble. Especially the one in the center engraved with Ji Qingpei - it shattered instantly.
Zhi Yao was the first to react, "Heaven... why does this person look exactly the same as Pei Chiyao?!"
Although their attire and demeanor were completely different, their facial features were as if they had been replicated.
He did what Pei Chiyao had intended to do, so Pei Chiyao withdrew his hand and didn't make another move, only standing by and watching silently.
"Useless, the Ji Family is useless."
That man spoke, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the other spirit tablets arranged in the Ji Family's ancestral hall, he suddenly laughed, "This group said I betrayed the family, fell in love with a fox demon, that I'm a traitor to the Ji Family, that everyone should kill me, kill Yao, well then... I might as well wipe out the Ji Family first!"
As the words fell, he raised his hand once more. Even before they could see his motion clearly, a deafening "boom" shook the Ji Family's ancestral hall, and the neatly arranged spirit tablets shattered into fragments.
This sudden turn of events left everyone frozen in place, except for Pei Chiyao.
