The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Ha ha!

Along with this chuckle, two dazzling beams of light suddenly descended like lightning, accurately covering the man in black who had made the provocative remarks and "Bai Lao Er" who was hiding in the corner of the square.

The two beams of light came at lightning speed, leaving no time for people to react. The moment they were enveloped by the beams of light, the man in black and "Bai Lao Er" didn't even have the chance to speak, let alone struggle.

Their bodies seemed to be controlled by a powerful force, and were directly wrapped in the light column and raised by a full meter. They seemed like exhibits displayed in front of everyone, attracting gazes from all directions.

Bai Laoer felt unprecedented humiliation, a hint of panic, and a hint of regret.

He shouldn't have been unable to suppress his greed when he saw a few people with natural spiritual roots. He wanted to ruin the disciple recruitment test in the National Master Hall and take those people with natural spiritual roots into his pocket.

But what can he do?

His son is about to turn nineteen years old. If he can't find a natural spiritual root, his son will completely miss the best opportunity to change his spiritual root.

Although it is possible to change spiritual roots after the age of 20, the success rate of fusion is less than 50%.

So, he really couldn't wait any longer.

Thinking of this, a strong hatred surged in his heart again!

Ten years ago, he had clearly found a young man with wood spiritual roots and natural spiritual roots. However, when he went to pick fusion grass for his son, he was intercepted by the current head of the family - his eldest brother.

And because his eldest brother had a son with natural spiritual roots, he successfully took over the position of head of the family.

Not only did he lose the opportunity to change his son's spiritual roots, he also lost his position as the head of the family.

Originally, he was the most competitive candidate for the position of family head.

In the end, he could only stay in the mortal world unwillingly, searching for children with natural spiritual roots and single spiritual roots for his family.

But in the past ten years, he had barely found two or three single spiritual roots. As for the heavenly spiritual roots, they were rare in a million, so how could they be found so easily?

So when he saw two people with natural spiritual roots, who were still young teenagers, he couldn't help but take action.

Unexpectedly, this time he not only failed, but was also caught on the spot.

Bai Laoer suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and fell into a state of decadence.

This man in black is Bai Laoer's number one lackey. I don't know how many dirty and bad things he has done for Bai Laoer.

Little did they know, this was just the beginning.

As the two looked on in horror, a mysterious formation suddenly activated. This formation was like a huge vortex, slowly spinning and emitting frightening energy fluctuations.

As the formation was in operation, a huge 360-degree light screen appeared above the heads of the two people. This light screen was like a movie screen, clearly showing everything the two people had done.

The images kept switching on the screen, and each scene was shocking. As the images changed, people's faces became more and more gloomy, and their expressions became more and more angry.

It turns out that the Bai family was originally just an ordinary family of immortal cultivators, but they got an evil spell from somewhere - "Soul-changing Spell". Since getting this evil spell, the Bai family has started their sinful path.

The Bai family began to secretly look for children with single spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots. They used some gold, silver and silk as bait to trick these innocent children back to the Bai family.

The fate that awaits these children is extremely tragic. Once they enter the Bai family, their spiritual roots will be cruelly dug out. Children who lose their spiritual roots have no other way out except death.

At this moment, Su Xiaoya saw a figure outside the square walking out of the restaurant and heading towards Yingyuefang Market. Although he looked like he was strolling leisurely, there was no hiding the traces of him using the art of escape.

Want to escape?

Ha ha!

Su Xiaoya had already seen the blood, resentment and evil spirit lingering on that person through her delusion-breaking eyes! How many bad things must he have done to condense such a heavy blood and evil spirit.

However, looking at the similar appearance between this man and Bai Laoer, you will understand the reason.

Ha ha!

Want to escape?

Now that you are here, just stay!

Su Xiaoya was already very angry after the incident at the Evil Temple. Now a family practicing evil magic has appeared. Isn't this right in the crosshairs?

It seems that the thunder tribulation will have to be postponed again.

Or, just go to this Bai family to survive the tribulation?

Hey!

With all his thoughts in mind, his men were not slow at all. They directly grabbed the middle-aged man in fancy clothes and threw him into the square, enjoying the same treatment as Bai Laoer.

As the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was thrown into the square and the illusion array was activated, the seven young men and women with natural spiritual roots on the second floor of the restaurant walked out of the restaurant and into the square, looking at the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes in the illusion array with hatred.

At this time, in the light curtain above the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes was a vermilion door with two big characters "Bai Family" on the lintel.

The vermilion lacquered gate of the Bai Mansion's main courtyard was looming in the morning mist, as if hiding countless secrets.

Sixteen-year-old Lin Xiaotang tightly grasped his heavy purse, staring intently at the two large gold-plated characters on the door lintel - "Bai Family", but an inexplicable fear surged in his heart.

Three days ago, the Bai family's steward made a solemn promise that if she was willing to send her brother to the Bai residence as a disciple, she would not only receive a hundred taels of silver, but her brother would also be able to learn immortal arts. Even she could enter the Bai family's blessed land and become a chores disciple.

This was like a pie in the sky for the brother and sister whose parents had died early.

However, ever since her brother entered the Baifu blessed land, she was forced to separate from him.

And she had endless work to do during the day, such as guarding the spiritual fields, weeding, and catching insects. She was so busy that she couldn't even straighten her back and had no chance to see her brother.

What's even more terrifying is that she has had nightmares almost every night for the past three days. In her dreams, her brother is covered in blood and looking at her...

Standing in front of this mysterious gate, Lin Xiaotang's heart was full of contradictions and uneasiness.

The scene of Xiaojun leaving kept repeating in my mind.

"Sister Xiaotang!" Seven-year-old Lin Xiaojun poked his head out from behind a tree. His delicate face was red from the cold, and his voice was trembling. "Xiaojun doesn't want to go. It's too gloomy here..."

Before he could finish his words, the two doors suddenly burst open, as if they were pushed open by an invisible force.

A figure in a moon-white robe walked out slowly. His eyebrows and features were picturesque, with a gentle smile on the corners of his lips, and a faint scent of sandalwood lingering around him.

Bai Yuyan, the head of the Bai family, this legendary figure, was so handsome. His appearance made Lin Xiaotang and Lin Xiaojun stunned.

"You must be Xiaojun! Don't be afraid, I will teach you to practice." Bai Yuyan squatted down and tied a crystal clear jade pendant around Lin Xiaojun's neck. "This is the Bingpo Jade Pendant that can ward off evil spirits. When you get started, I will teach you how to fly with a sword."

Perhaps Lin Xiaojun was attracted by the coolness of the jade pendant, or perhaps by the flying sword. He looked at the white jade inkstone with his innocent, timid and watery eyes like a deer, and nodded in a daze.

However, at this moment, a mountain breeze blew, and Lin Xiaotang suddenly felt a chill rising from his spine, and there was a faint smell of blood in the wind.

Lin Xiaotang looked around vigilantly, but found that there was nothing around him, only air - the temperature seemed to have dropped a lot and became even colder.

"Sister, I'm scared..." Xiaojun was so scared that he ran back to Lin Xiaotang, grabbed the corner of Lin Xiaotang's clothes tightly, his eyes full of fear.

Lin Xiaotang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She didn't know what danger was hidden behind this strange atmosphere. But for her brother's future, she decided to face it bravely.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaojun, sister will protect you." Lin Xiaotang held Xiaojun's hand tightly and said firmly.

At this moment, Bai Yuyan's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a trace of annoyance and impatience flashed in his eyes. I don't know what he thought of, but he forced himself to suppress his temper and make himself look as gentle as possible:

"Do you think there are no rules in the Bai Mansion?" Bai Yan's voice echoed in the silent air, with a chilling chill. "Xiaojun is already a disciple of the Bai family, and must practice immediately. Otherwise, you will be punished."

After saying that, the patriarch looked at Lin Xiaotang with an ambiguous expression and said, "Xiaotang, you go down with the second housekeeper. You also have your own things to do, so don't break the rules and get punished."

After saying this, the head of the Bai family put away his deliberately pretended gentleness, pulled Lin Xiaojun and entered the main courtyard of the Bai Mansion.

The vermilion door closed behind them, and Lin Xiaotang felt a surge of despair in his heart. He realized that he and his brother might have fallen into a huge conspiracy...

However, in order to prevent his brother from being punished, Lin Xiaotang could do nothing now.

This is the Bai family's blessed land, not in the secular world. Even the barrier, the two siblings can't get out.

So Lin Xiaotang knew that if they ran blindly, they would not be able to escape at all. She had to find a way to get the token to enter and exit. The person who brought them into the Bai family's blessed land took out a black token to enter.

Thinking that his younger brother followed the head of the Bai family obediently because he was afraid of being punished, Lin Xiaotang felt sad. He regretted that he wanted his younger brother to practice, wanted to change the current situation of not having enough food, and even wanted to find the enemy that his parents had mentioned to destroy the Lin family, which put him and his younger brother in danger.

Lin Xiaotang bit her lip and secretly made up her mind that she must find a way to gain the trust of the second butler and get the black token.

However, having nightmares for three consecutive nights made Lin Xiaotang feel very uneasy.

She decided to find a way to see her brother today.

Looking at the vermilion gate, Lin Xiaotang knew she couldn't get in.

After thinking about it, she remembered that the wealthy families in the mortal world all had dog holes. So, she decided to take a gamble. What if the gamble was right? She could see her brother.

She was really panicking when she woke up from a nightmare today...

Perhaps, God heard her prayers and really let Lin Xiaotang find a small dog hole.

Before Lin Xiaotang had time to think carefully, he had already crawled into the garden through the dog hole.

Lin Xiaotang patted his pounding heart, took a deep breath, and walked around the nine-turn corridor under the cover of trees, heading towards the rockery in front.

Lin Xiaotang remembered that storytellers said that the dungeons of wealthy families were usually under rockeries. For some reason, Lin Xiaotang instinctively wanted to get closer to the rockeries.

The closer they got to the rockery, the more Lin Xiaotang seemed to see Xiaojun cautiously following Bai Yuyan step by step towards the rockery...

Just as Lin Xiaotang's right hand touched the rockery, he came back to his senses. He turned around subconsciously, only to see a strange red light.

Following the direction of the sound, I saw wisps of scarlet mist seeping out from the crack of the door of the west courtyard to the west of the rockery, and the faint sound of a child's shrill cry could be heard.

Just as she was about to walk towards the west wing to check, the purse around her waist suddenly felt hot, causing her to stagger back, her back pressed tightly against the rockery.

A rustling sound was heard, and Lin Xiaotang was so frightened that he immediately hid in the cave of the rockery and held his breath, while his hand subconsciously reached for the short blade at his waist.

Through the gap in the rockery, I saw the rockery suddenly move, revealing a hole that could accommodate one person in and out.

At this time, more than ten people in white clothes came out one after another carrying a stretcher covered with black cloth.

The blood dripping from the stretcher froze into ice on the blue bricks. On the drooping wrist hung a black and red bracelet. It was the Five Blessings bracelet that I gave to Xiaojun on his first birthday.

Lin Xiaotang almost screamed, but subconsciously covered her mouth tightly and looked at the corpse silently.

The corpse was obviously taller than Xiaojun, at least a head taller than Xiaojun, and should be a teenager.

But why is Xiaojun’s red bracelet on this corpse?

At this time, voices were heard again in the rockery passage. Lin Xiaotang immediately activated the Breath Containment Technique, not daring to relax at all. If it weren't for the voices, Lin Xiaotang would not have noticed anyone at all. The people who came were obviously not the mortals who had just carried the corpse, but monks.

Lin Xiaotang did not dare to be careless at all, and only hoped that the breath-concealing technique passed down in his family could help him successfully avoid the detection of the incoming person's spiritual sense.

"Did you succeed?" Bai Yuyan's voice came.

Lin Xiaotang's heart tightened, and he held his breath. Through the cracks in the rockery, he saw Bai Yuyan playing with a blue spirit bead. In the bead, there was a young man's terrified face.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaotang was not really an ignorant girl. During the years she had been hiding from place to place with her parents, she had also witnessed the vicious methods of evil cultivators.

However, at that time, she still had her parents to protect her. Now, it was her turn to protect her brother.

"Young Master, rest assured. This single spiritual root has excellent aptitude. The Fifth Young Master merged very smoothly, and the purity level is 75. If you nurture it in the later stage and supplement it with some natural treasures, it may grow longer..."

The old voice that answered flattered, "It's just that the soul exchange technique consumes too much energy. This time, we sacrificed nearly fifteen members of our tribe..."

"It's okay, but they are just trash without spiritual roots. Being able to sacrifice them to you, sir, is also a contribution to the Bai family."

Bai Yuyan's tone was extremely cold. He lightly tapped his fingertips, and the face of the child in the spirit bead instantly withered. "When my Bai family gathers all seven types of heavenly spirit roots and restarts the Chaos Secret Realm, there will be many natural treasures in it. Maybe there will be heavenly spirit roots in the future. What does a mere waste without spirit roots count for?"

"Yes, Patriarch." The elder replied respectfully.
