Chapter 1630: The Person in the Portrait

Su Chen recalled the previous battle with She Yang, and couldn't help but sigh at the domineering "Illusion" sword art. The unfinished "Illusion" sword art, which had not yet been practiced, was so powerful that it could allow him, who was at the eighth level of the Life and Death Realm, to challenge She Yang, who was at the second level of the Seeking Nether Realm.

It can be imagined that after the "Illusion" sword art is completely practiced, his combat power will be completely upgraded to a new level.

"Now I only need an opportunity to improve my cultivation to the ninth level of the Life and Death Realm. If I reach the ninth level of the Life and Death Realm, I will have the confidence to fight Yang Duo, who is at the peak of the third level of the Seeking Nether Realm."

Although Su Chen didn't dare to say that he had any confidence in winning, at least there was hope for a head-on battle.

Now, Su Chen also needed this battle with Yang Duo so that he, an "outsider", could gain a foothold in Danyun Peak.

Therefore, he had to do his best to prepare for this battle.

"I must find an opportunity for a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Su Chen said secretly in his heart.

…

After paying respect to the victims, everyone set off for the ancestral temple.

The She family ancestral temple is located in the Nanshe Mansion. It is an antique and magnificent building. When it was first built, it should have been very glorious.

However, the current ancestral temple looks a bit dilapidated. There are spider webs in the corners. Many places have been in disrepair for a long time. The paint on the pillars has fallen off and looks tattered.

The portraits of ancestors placed in the ancestral temple are covered with dust and their original appearance cannot be seen.

"Yawn!"

The group sneezed because of the dust in the ancestral temple. Yan Maner fanned away the dust in front of her and said angrily, "This Nanshe family didn't even repair the ancestral temple. They are simply unfilial descendants!"

"This is also expected."

She Qiang smiled bitterly. If the Nanshe family were filial descendants, they would not ignore the ancestral teachings and force themselves to practice the blood sacrifice secret method that hurt people.

Several high-level officials of the Beishe family cleaned up the ancestral temple. Since a large number of ordinary clansmen and servants of the Bei She family were killed, the cleaning of the house had to be done by the top leaders themselves.

She Qiang stared at the ancestral portraits after they were cleaned, and personally lit three incense sticks in front of each ancestral portrait.

Then, She Qiang took out the spirit stones and placed them in various corners of the ancestral hall. The positions of all the spirit stones formed a formation, indicating that the formation in the ancestral hall began to start.

This is the so-called ancestor worship.

She Qiang knelt in front of the ancestral portrait in the middle, muttering something in his mouth.

If you just look at his appearance, you would think he was chanting something like a spell. However, if you listen carefully, you will find that he is just stating the various grievances between the Bei She family and the Nan She family, including the fact that the Bei She family was almost wiped out by the Nan She family a few days ago.

The rest of the Bei She family leaders also knelt in front of the ancestral portraits with She Qiang.

Only Su Chen and the other three, because they were not from the She family, stood at the door of the ancestral hall and watched this scene.

Su Chen's eyes swept through the portraits of the She family's ancestors in the ancestral hall, and his eyes fell on the portrait in the middle. He always had a strange feeling that the portrait looked familiar.

However, Su Chen knew that he definitely couldn't recognize this She family's ancestor, so he didn't care at the moment.

"Hoohoo..."

As the sacrifice was going on, the wind suddenly blew in the ancestral hall, blowing the curtains in the ancestral hall, and the flames of the incense and candles in front of the portraits were also shaken by the wind.

"It's the ancestor who showed up!"

The people of the Bei She family in the ancestral hall whispered.

At the same time, pairs of eyes also looked at the incense and candles.

In the portrait, there is a trace of the ancestor's residual soul, and the formation in the ancestral hall is a ritual to awaken the residual soul.

At this moment, if the incense and candle flames are extinguished, it means that the ancestor does not agree with them to return to the She family's ancestral home. If it is the opposite, it means that the ancestor agrees that they will return to the She family's ancestral home to live.

And they must obey the wishes of the ancestor. Therefore, at this moment, they were also very nervous.

Whoosh!

The wind in the ancestral hall was getting stronger and stronger, but none of the flames of the incense and candles were extinguished.

Just as everyone in the Beishe family stared at the incense and candles with wide eyes, suddenly, the wind blew up a leaf in the ancestral hall and fell on Su Chen's shoulder at the door of the ancestral hall.

Suddenly, a picture suddenly appeared in Su Chen's mind.

In this picture, a vague figure was sitting on a rock, looking up at the sky, muttering to himself in a daze.

"Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?"

The figure kept repeating this sentence.

If an ordinary person heard it, he would definitely feel a little confused under these three repeated questions.

After all, the world is too big, and all living beings, this life and the past life, the fate and destination... many things are more complicated the more you think about them.
