Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Zhao's hand was held tightly by Gu Chen, and she couldn't break free.

Feigning composure, she said, "Of course, it's because of Huo Jinchen and Ye Linlang!"

"What else could it be!"

Gu Chen chuckled lightly: "Does it really have nothing to do with Ye Mingzhu at all?"

His gaze lingered on Wu Zhao's face, as if trying to discern something from the subtle changes in her expression.

Wu Zhao coughed twice, "What's wrong with Ye Mingzhu? I didn't say I had anything to do with Ye Mingzhu..."

“Zhao Zhao, you…” Gu Chen shook his head and let go of her hand.

He was about to say something when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Immediately afterward, Wu Xingyun appeared at the doorway and rushed in, shouting, "Grandma, I'm in urgent need of help!"

"What's going on?" Wu Zhao's expression turned cold when he saw black energy emanating from the man's body.

A bright red bird flew out from behind him and fluttered into Wu Zhao's arms.

It chirped and complained, "Master, ahhh, Master, I'm so miserable! The Wu family is no place for birds. I almost died!"

Phoenix nestled in Wu Zhao's arms, sobbing and rubbing against him, unaware that Gu Chen's face beside Wu Zhao had darkened considerably.

Immediately afterward, Wu Xingyun rushed over and hugged Wu Zhao's leg, crying out, "Waaah, Grandma, help me—"

Wu Zhao was so annoyed that the veins on his head were bulging.

"Speak properly!" Wu Zhao punched Wu Xingyun and threw Phoenix, who was in his arms, away.

Wu Xingyun covered his head and cried, "Grandma, this is really an emergency."

"After I brought the little bird back to the Wu family, the house was on fire everywhere! My uncle was covered in soot from the fire, and the ancestral hall almost caught fire!"

How could the ancestral hall be set on fire by Phoenix?

What on earth is the Wu family doing?! Wu Zhao was shocked.

Phoenix landed on her shoulder and continued, "It's true, Master. The Wu family is acting very strangely right now! You really have to go and see for yourself, or the Wu family will be in big trouble."

Twirling the ring on his finger, Wu Zhao said, "Indeed, they even burned down the ancestral hall... These unfilial descendants!"

As she turned and stormed out, a smile gradually crept into Gu Chen's eyes.

Wu Xingyun scratched his head and silently followed in her footsteps.

"How could they be...unfilial descendants?"

……

The Wu family's residence is located on the outskirts of the capital, hidden within a vast forest.

Wu Xingyun drove and quietly introduced things to Wu Zhao.

“That lady, this whole area belongs to the Wu family… This forest is quite old, probably around a hundred or two hundred years old…”

"The Wu family all live here. Everyone is very united..."

Wu Zhao sat in the back, silently stroking Phoenix's feathers in his arms.

Wu Zhao's expression was not clearly visible in the rearview mirror, and Wu Xingyun's voice grew softer and softer.

Suddenly feeling a little guilty, Wu Xingyun shut his mouth.

"Unity?" A hint of sarcasm appeared in Wu Zhao's eyes. "No one has repaired the barrier over there. Such a huge hole... just how much filth has been let in?"

She truly never expected that the Wu family would actually have a traitor three thousand years later!

"Hiss—" Phoenix couldn't help but groan softly as his feathers were pulled painfully. "Master, don't be angry. When we find that damned traitor, I'll burn him alive!"

Burned?

Wu Zhaode's lips curled into a cold smile. "Burning it would be too good for that person."

She wanted to hang that damned traitor on the gates of the underworld, to make him suffer the torment of the yin energy within those gates day and night!

creak.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Wu Zhao saw Wu Shiyu running out of it.

Having not seen Wu Xingyun's twin sister for some time, Wu Zhao noticed that her spiritual energy was becoming increasingly abundant.

It seems there is still something that comforts her... Wu Zhao nodded.

Wu Shiyu watched cautiously as Wu Zhao got out of the car. She asked, "Miss Wu, we've finally been waiting for you. My uncle was burned for a while, and now he's having trouble getting up..."

"It's alright, let me go see him." Wu Zhao patted her shoulder. "You look like your strength has improved a lot, that's great."

As Wu Zhao walked past her, she added, "By the way, don't call me Miss Wu anymore."

"You should call me...Grandma, just like Xingyun does."

Wu Xingyun followed closely behind her, grinning silently at his sister.

"Grandma, my uncle is inside."

Pointing to a tightly closed door, Wu Xingyun said in a low voice.

He pushed open the door, and a faint, chilly aura wafted out from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure suddenly appeared from inside, swept past the three of them, and frantically fled outside.

"Who is it!" Wu Shiyu exclaimed in shock, raising her hand to shield Wu Xingyun behind her. "Xingyun, be careful!"

I didn't see clearly what ran away, but the malice lingered.

“Phoenix!” Wu Zhao sneered. “Don’t let that damn thing get away.”

The fiery red bird darted out like lightning.

A piercing scream suddenly rang out.

"Ahhh-"

A moment later, Phoenix flew in, spitting twice: "What a disgusting thing, ptooey ptooey. Master, that thing self-destructed."

"But when I took a bite, it felt a little disgusting, yet also strangely familiar—"

Wu Zhao said helplessly, "I've already told you not to eat those things casually, what if you get sick?"

She turned and went into the room, and a sinister aura emanated from the person lying on the bed.

Wu Shixu's face was somewhat pale, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

A thin layer of cold sweat appeared on his face, and he was muttering to himself.

It felt like I was trapped in some kind of nightmare.

“It’s a nightmare…” Wu Zhao murmured.

Phoenix suddenly realized: "I was wondering why that thing had that familiar, disgusting feeling—it was a nightmare! But Master, weren't the Nightmare Clan already imprisoned in the Gates of the Underworld by you?"

"Outside, where did these nightmares come from?"

Back in the day, Phoenix had to eat a lot of Nightmare's awful stuff, and thinking about it now still makes me want to vomit.

"Who knows?" Wu Zhao took out a red talisman from the exchange box and placed it on Wu Shixu's body.

The chilling aura was gradually absorbed by the talisman, and the red talisman paper turned black at a visible speed, then turned into ashes.

Wu Shixu's expression gradually calmed down.

After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.

They saw Wu Shiyu and Wu Xingyun, a brother and sister, gathered around the bed.

"Uncle, you're finally awake! How are you feeling?"

Wu Xingyun noticed that her uncle's gaze passed through her and her sister and landed on Wu Zhao behind them.

Then he saw his uncle, who was usually unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, turn red-faced.

His eyes filled with tears as he hoarsely cried out, "Ancestor—"
