He can make the final decision as the Wen family. It is not worth destroying the Wen family's hope for an ancestor who has turned to ashes. A living person is more important than a dead person, right?
The purpose for which several generations of them have worked so hard is to fight for this glimmer of hope. Now that this hope is about to come, he will not allow anyone to destroy it.
After making up his mind, Elder Wen said in a deep voice, "Wen Sheng, take them to the cemetery on the mountain and dig out the remains of... Wen Yanli, the tenth-generation head of the family, and then get the family tree."
Wen Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he said anxiously, "Dad, this is truly treasonous. Our ancestors will blame you."
"Blame? Haha, I don't care about that. If blaming is really useful, why didn't they intervene when the tenth generation head of the family committed evil?"
"If we don't do this now, our Wen family will be extinct. Why should we sacrifice all our hopes for the sins of one ancestor?"
Elder Wen said firmly, "Whoever commits the evil will bear the consequences. But Master Su, if you really do this, will the descendants of that Taoist priest let it go?"
Su Chen said calmly, "She can't refuse. Whoever commits the crime will bear the consequences. She is willing to grind her bones to dust, but if she continues to kill without leaving any chance of survival, then I will do it."
"I will naturally intervene, don't worry, Mr. Wen."
"Okay, I'll listen to Master Su. Go dig up the tomb quickly and carry the coffin so we can see her."
“…Yes, Dad.”
Several people went up the mountain and started digging. The cold wind made people feel cold in their hearts: "Master, if we keep digging, our ancestors will come to find us in our dreams, right?"
Wen Sheng said solemnly, "Look for him if you want to. He's the one who did the evil first. He doesn't even know how many people he killed. If it weren't for his evil deeds."
"Our Wen family has been so poor in descendants for several generations that we are on the verge of extinction. It's all because of him."
Why mess with a female Taoist priest when there are so many people to mess with? More than two hundred years ago, there were only male Taoist priests. When a female Taoist priest appeared, you can imagine how powerful her magic was. It was considered polite not to kill them directly.
"Hurry up and dig it out, and give the remains to that person's descendants. They can do whatever they want with it. I just want to preserve the last bit of the Wen family's bloodline."
An hour later, a coffin was dug out and several people carried it towards the villa. Wen Sheng asked them to carry the coffin directly to the ancestral hall.
He shouted, "Dad, we have brought the coffin. Let's see what we should do next."
As Mr. Wen heard the thunder outside getting louder and louder, he didn't waste any more time. He took some incense, lit it, knelt down, and explained everything in one breath.
"Ancestors, the fifteenth generation head of the family, Wen Zhuo, will commit a treasonous act today. To preserve the last bit of the Wen family's bloodline, I will hand over the tenth generation head, Wen Yanli."
"Unravel the bitter fruit of a fateful relationship two hundred years ago, seek a glimmer of hope for the Wen family, and beg for forgiveness from our ancestors."
As he spoke, he lit incense and watched the incense rise straight up. He had a rough idea in his mind and said confidently, "Go and bring me the family tree."
"Bring the tablet of the tenth generation patriarch with you. Let's go meet the descendants of that Taoist priest, explain the matter clearly, and ask for his forgiveness."
Wen Sheng nodded, and the group walked out of the ancestral hall in a mighty manner. Su Chen and the others followed closely outside. Amidst the lightning and thunder, they vaguely saw a figure standing in the air.
After seeing this scene clearly, the Wen family felt their hearts tighten and they became more and more uneasy.
Su Chen whispered, "Wait a moment, I'll go see her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person disappeared from the spot. The Wen family was shocked by this scene and all raised their heads to look in the direction of the lightning.
Wuyou sensed someone approaching and looked over with cold eyes. He looked him up and down and said in a cold tone, "So we are colleagues. It seems that this golden light of merit you have is not easy to come by."
"Are you sure you want to get involved? Haha, then don't blame me for being rude."
Su Chen said, "Wait, fellow Daoist, I know why you are here and what you are going to do, but the mistake of one person is enough to bring disaster to five generations."
"Heaven has already given the Wen family a glimmer of hope, yet you still persist in your delusion and risk your own life to wipe out the Wen family."
"Oh, why not? The ancestor of the Wen family committed many evil deeds. How can his descendants be good people? It is right to exterminate them."
Wuyou said coldly: "I don't want to be your enemy. I hope you will leave on your own and don't force me to attack you."
Su Chen pointed to the location of the coffin below and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Look at who is in the coffin below. I think that instead of taking revenge on the Wen family, it will not achieve your ancestor's goal of taking revenge on Wen Yanli."
"Your ancestors should have told you what kind of person Wen Yanli is. He is such a selfish and immoral person. Do you think he would care whether he has descendants or not?"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and the debt has its creditor. It is the right thing to do for the one who did the evil to make amends. Instead of implicating other innocent people in the Wen family, why not find the real culprit?"
Wuyou was stunned when he heard this and looked at the coffin carefully.
"You mean, you want me to take Wen Yanli's body away? How is that possible? Will the Wen family agree to let me take it away?"
Su Chen pursed his lips and smiled: "Why don't you agree? You hate the ancestors of the Wen family, but how do you know that the Wen family doesn't hate them? Do you think they don't hate the evildoer who caused his descendants to suffer?"
Wuyou thought about it and it made sense. His eyes flickered and he looked at him with a vigilant look: "You and I are from the same sect. You wouldn't fool me for a mortal, would you?"
If possible, she didn't want to go against the will of heaven and sacrifice herself, but her ancestors had a last wish to be fulfilled.
