Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Whatever makes you happy, Master." Nana freed her face from Wu Zhao's grasp. "Then I'll go follow Wu Shiyu. She seems to trust Agares a lot."

I don't know how Agares managed to do it, he only spent a short time with Wu Shiyu and yet he had her under his control.

Is this the special ability of a high-ranking demon god?

Well, his twelfth pillar isn't bad either!

After he left, Wu Zhao slowly stood up.

She walked to the window and quietly looked at the forest behind the villa.

"My brother really understands me..."

Junwu's divine artifact was deliberately left in the Wu family's inheritance to warn the Wu family members.

They also knew that if her power went berserk, it would likely cause devastating damage to the human world, and at that point, even Junwu would be unable to protect her.

"Junwu... what exactly are you thinking?"

A gentle breeze blew in and brushed past her ear.

It seemed to bring a faint sigh, somewhat familiar and nostalgic.

Wu Zhao closed his eyes.

A figure silently left from downstairs and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

……

late at night.

A flapping sound of wings came from outside the window, as if it were just a bird flying by unintentionally.

Then, several wolf howls came from the deep forest behind the mountain, intermittently.

Wu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes from his sleep.

A red light flashed in her eyes, and then she sat up in bed.

"He couldn't sit still any longer..."

A faint reminder came to my ear.

"Master, a few people have come out of the shaman's house and gone to the back mountain."

Wu Zhao nodded. "Follow them and see what they're up to."

She then got out of bed and went to the balcony outside.

A chilling aura, extremely difficult to detect, emanated from the depths of the back mountain, carrying an aura that Wu Zhao both knew and loathed.

"It really is an old acquaintance..."

"Let me see what you're really up to, Witch Saint Cult. I hope you can give me a surprise this time."

Her figure disappeared from the spot.

Wu Shiyu, who was about to knock on the door, suddenly paused, and Nana's figure slowly appeared behind him.

He reached out and touched the back of Wu Shiyu's neck.

Nana caught the unconscious Wu Shiyu and shook her head helplessly.

"Master really does like to keep the Wu family out of uncertain dangers..."

His gaze swept downstairs again, and he spotted Wu Shixu coming out of the room.

"You were by the old ancestor's side..."

Wu Shixu clearly sensed something when he came out of the room, perhaps because he was in a hurry and was still wearing his pajamas.

"Just call me Nana." Nana tossed the sleeping Wu Shiyu to her. "You all just stay home and don't go out. Just wait for Master to come back."

He carefully caught Wu Shiyu, but by the time Wu Shixu looked up to ask her a question, Nana was already gone.

"Ancestor..."

He sighed and picked up Wu Shiyu.

"Father?" Wu Liufeng's voice sounded behind him. "Shiyu, what's wrong? Is something happening outside? Should I go check it out?"

Even Wu Liufeng, who was still recovering from serious injuries, sensed that something was wrong. Wu Shixu frowned and said, "Our ancestors told us to stay at home and not to act rashly. Your body hasn't recovered yet, so be careful."

Wu Liufeng hesitated for a moment, but still obediently refrained from taking any action.

The wind on the back mountain is very cold.

It was an abnormal cold.

Wu Zhao walked slowly through the mountains and forests, occasionally spotting small animals running quickly among the grass.

"This barrier hasn't been repaired in who knows how long; it's full of holes..."

"It's almost like a fishing net."

She said this with a hint of helplessness, as she walked and began to repair the leaky areas.

Soft, shrill whistles kept coming from her ears, as if something was being annihilated along with her restoration.

"Good heavens, they really treat the Wu family's back mountain as their own backyard."

They actually dare to build their nests right where there are loopholes, and they keep running into them one after another.

"What kind of nightmare is this? Raising Gu poison in the back mountain of the Wu family?"

They discovered that these nightmares included not only the kind of nightmares that had been pulled from Wu Liufeng's body and combined with succubi, but also various other ghostly things that had been combined with nightmares.

This method—isn't it exactly what that crazy sorcerer Nie Wu likes to do?

"Master, Nie Wu has arrived."

Agares' voice came through.

"That guy named Xuanjing came along too. He actually managed to pass through the Wu family's barrier. It seems he's the one who destroyed it."

How can one pass directly through the Wu family's barrier without breaking it? Is this a secret technique for mastering the Wu family's barrier?

Could he be a traitor to the Wu family?

As Wu Zhao thought to herself, she gradually approached Nie Wu.

At the edge of the Wu family's deep mountains, Nie Wu and Xuan Jing were placing the Nightmare into the barrier.

"These nightmares are enough to devour the entire Wu family."

As she watched the various nightmares swarm in through the gap, a look of determination appeared in Nie Wu's eyes.

Xuan Jing glanced at her coldly, his tone casual: "You can do whatever you want with the Wu family members, but if I find her, you can't touch her."

"You don't even know who the person you're looking for is, and you're still thinking about this?"

Nie Wu smiled mockingly, her gaze towards Xuan Jing filled with surprise.

"I really don't know what you're thinking. Maybe the person you're looking for is already dead?"

Suddenly, a cold, large hand gripped Nie Wu's neck, and a savage killing intent flashed in Xuan Jing's eyes.

"If you dare utter another word, I'll snap your neck right now. Or do you want to be annihilated along with your dead husband, leaving only your remnant souls?"

He sneered as he tightened his grip, watching Nie Wu struggle to breathe.

"I, I know, I understand."

Nie Wu breathed heavily, speaking with some fear.

Seeing the hatred and fear in her eyes, Xuan Jing snorted and shook her off.

"Stop trying to provoke and test me. You don't want to completely lose hope of your husband's resurrection, do you?"

"……sorry."

Lowering her head, Nie Wu bit her lip.

"Hurry up and put all the nightmares in; it won't be good if we delay too long and they get discovered."

Before Xuanjing could finish speaking, a furtive figure approached them.

"Miss Nie."

Upon seeing the person who arrived, Nie Wu's eyes immediately lit up.

"Wu Yuanhan! Well, have you discovered the Wu family's secret?"

This person was a member of the Wu family whom Nie Wu had managed to win over. Although he wasn't a direct descendant, he still held some status within the Wu family.

Wu Yuanhan's expression stiffened for a moment, then he said, "I've only heard that there's a secret treasure in the Wu family ancestral hall, and this treasure is very important to the Wu family."

A secret treasure? Nie Wu then looked at Xuan Jing.

After a moment's thought, Xuan Jing said, "Since it's a secret treasure of the Wu family, then... let's make a trip to the Wu family ancestral shrine."

Then he looked at Wu Yuanhan, who was waiting to the side, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"Now that you know the Wu family's secret, you... are no longer of any use to me."

A cold light shot towards Wu Yuanhan's heart, and Wu Yuanhan was shocked and dodged in a sorry state.

Just as the cold light turned to slash at his neck, a soft groan rang out.

“Even traitors among the Wu family should be dealt with by the Wu family.”

"Outsiders have no right to do that!"
