Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

A strong sense of malice spread from behind Wu Zhao.

Wu Zhao, who was walking ahead, seemed oblivious.

Kill her...

Kill her!

Malice mixed with murderous intent relentlessly entangled Wu Zhao, just as the black aura was about to tighten around her neck.

Wu Zhao suddenly turned around: "By the way, I'm from out of town, can I go up to the altar?"

Nunu suddenly raised her head and blinked.

"If it was the High Priest who invited you, then it's certainly possible."

She laughed, a fierce glint flashing in her narrowed eyes.

The malice directed at her quickly disappeared, and Wu Zhao rubbed her fingers together.

"Oh? Really... then can Yu Ying participate too?"

Wu Zhao asked, feigning curiosity.

"She can't do it!"

Nunu's voice suddenly became sharp, shrill and piercing.

Nunu realized she had lost her composure after noticing Wu Zhao's surprised expression.

After chuckling twice, Nunu said, "Well, her husband has been sick, hasn't he? The sacrificial ceremony is considered taboo because of this, so she can't participate!"

Although her explanation was somewhat far-fetched, it sounded reasonable enough.

Wu Zhao didn't ask any more questions, seemingly convinced by her.

"Sister, let's go back quickly! It won't be good if it gets dark!"

She hurriedly grabbed Wu Zhao's arm, urging him on.

Is it bad that it gets dark?

Wu Zhao secretly memorized what she said, and quickened his pace in response to her movements.

The two quickly returned to Nunu's home.

With a bang, Nunu slammed her door shut.

"Sister, get some rest early tonight and don't go out."

As Wu Zhao was about to enter the house, Nunu whispered a reminder.

Her voice carried a slight chill in the gradually setting sun, sounding light and somewhat distorted.

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

Wu Zhao didn't turn around and closed the door.

……

The present world. An unnamed ancient village.

"Distinguished guests, you have been here for several days and have not come out of the courtyard. Is there a problem?"

"I heard someone has fainted. Our village doctor is very skilled; we can have him take a look."

Ye Zhao stood outside the fence, rubbing his hands together, his expression showing a hint of drooling.

Four tall, burly drivers stood in front of him, their faces cold and silent.

She didn't speak or look at him.

Ye Zhao gritted his teeth.

"I've brought some local specialties from the village. Please allow our distinguished guests to sample our village's delicacies..."

"Also, the temperature difference between day and night in the village is quite large, so I also prepared some new cotton quilts and blankets for the guests."

He spoke until his throat was dry, but the four big men in front of him seemed to be deaf and completely ignored him.

Ye Zhao's face twitched as no one paid any attention to him, and his eyes flashed with barely suppressed anger.

Xu Zhong's lips twitched, as if he couldn't suppress a smile.

Wu Xingyun's voice sounded from behind.

"Are you all hungry? We just finished cooking, come and eat!"

The aroma of seafood filled the air.

Seeing the lavish meal that Huo Weiwei and Zhao Lan presented, the bodyguards, who thought they had already accepted Wu Xingyun's extraordinary culinary skills, were still somewhat shocked.

This is their fifth day here since they were told not to leave the yard.

Aside from eating some fast food a couple of days ago, they all started to worry that they might end up eating tree bark later on.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xingyun conjured up a huge pile of food from nowhere.

Not only did they have meat, vegetables, and fruit, but they also had expensive seafood that they had never seen before. If you didn't know better, you would think they were there for a picnic.

However, after seeing the talking red bird and Barbatos appearing out of nowhere, they have opened the door to a new world.

Clearly, Ye Zhao and the villagers behind him, whose expressions were numb, had also smelled the rich aroma.

The greed in Ye Zhao's eyes was almost overflowing.

Several villagers behind him also swallowed hard.

Huo Weiwei placed the food on the table in the yard, but her expression was not relaxed.

She was still worried about Professor Wu and his wife, who were in a coma, and He Wen.

"Teacher and Wenwen haven't been eating for the past few days, are you alright?"

"I tried to feed Wenwen, but it was really difficult."

She was also worried that He Wen would choke if she forced her to eat, so she didn't dare to use too much force.

These past few days, Wei Wenxue has only dared to give his teacher and his wife a little water.

"We can't keep waiting like this; we need to find a way to leave."

Hu Datian frowned and secretly glanced at Barbatos, who was strolling leisurely over the fence.

"Although I also think this village is very strange... can't we just leave?"

Wu Xingyun casually grabbed a scallop and stuffed it into his mouth, then pointed outside with the scallop shell in his hand.

"Look at them, and you, with your build, go out there... hmm, how long could you last?"

The saliva from the villagers' mouths outside the courtyard was so thick it could no longer be concealed and was flowing directly down their faces.

The drool dripping onto the clothes made a hissing sound and corroded a hole in the fabric.

Upon seeing this, Hu Datian shuddered.

"Pretend I didn't say anything..."

Too scary!

With a physique like his, he'll probably just become someone's food source, right?!

The teacher didn't say that this village was so ancient that it could eat people!

Is this right!

Avoiding the terrifying gazes from outside, Hu Datian picked up a crab leg and took a bite.

Ignored, Ye Zhao glanced at the darkening sky, then turned and left in a huff.

Nifix flew down from the roof and bounced twice on Wu Xingyun's shoulder.

"As long as you don't leave this courtyard, they won't dare to come in."

But Phoenix was also somewhat puzzled.

He could sense that the connection between himself and his master, Wu Zhao, was being blocked by something.

He glanced at Barbatos with some concern, and a sense of unease crept over him.

If he could sense it, then Barbatos, as one of the top ten pillars, must have sensed it as well.

This guy is notoriously unruly and disobedient among the top ten pillars.

He's even more difficult to deal with than the first three pillars, but why does he seem so emotionally stable right now?

The doubt in his eyes was undisguised.

Barbatos's smile froze, and he then crossed his arms and looked away.

"Phoenix, take a stroll around the village whenever you have free time."

"Get these humans out of this wretched village as soon as possible."

If he stays any longer, he'll really go crazy.

That day, the Heavenly Thunder Punishment seemed to have locked onto him, and it was itching to strike him down if he had any other thoughts.

What a hell.

Wu Xingyun asked Phoenix in a low voice, "Why hasn't my ancestor arrived yet?"

"I sent her messages, and she didn't reply to any of them after that..."

On the surface, Wu Xingyun appeared calm, but inside he was still somewhat flustered.

"Hmm... there might be a problem. But with so much food, you won't die anytime soon."

Phoenix patted his face.

"Don't worry about the three people sleeping inside. I can save their lives for now."

Although it consumes some magic power, he can recover his strength at any time as long as Wu Zhao comes.

Wu Xingyun could only sigh.

"Alright, I hope the ancestor will arrive soon..."
