Hu Yuan followed her gaze. In front of the water mirror, an old cultivator was tearing down the "Destiny-Defier" proclamation and replacing it with a newly written manifesto. The manifesto began with the words: "The Lín, Zhào, and Liǔ clans colluded with the Demonic Qi and framed the Hu Family, a crime deserving a thousand deaths." The signature at the bottom was stamped with the seals of dozens of cultivator clans, dyed a crimson red like blood.
The snow-white dragon steed suddenly stopped and pawed the ground with its front hooves. Hu Yuan looked up and saw the outline of the Lín Family Ancestral Hall. Cultivators were already swarming outside the ancestral hall, brandishing all manner of weapons, yet none dared to rush in recklessly—the ancestral hall's mountain-guarding formation was still active, its formation patterns suffused with a faint Demonic Qi, clearly reinforced using the methods of the Nether Cult.
"Hongxia is inside," Xuanyuan Liting pointed toward the eaves of the ancestral hall, where a single star shone with unusual brilliance—it was the "Communication Star" of Xingyuan Pavilion. "She sent word that the Lín Family Patriarch has locked himself inside the ancestral hall, using the very last Demon Summoning Talisman for a sacrifice, trying to fully anchor the Lord of the New Demon Abyss."
