The Ouyang Lineage's "Ancestor Worship Ceremony"
Zhaoyang City, the Ouyang Lineage returns to their hometown!
However, the Ouyang Lineage that returned this time was completely different from the last one.
Last time, Ouyang Ling boldly took out a large number of spirit stones to smash her family's ancestral home back.
But in everyone's eyes, Ouyang Ling was merely using the prestige of the Vast Heaven Sect.
The powerful one is the Vast Heaven Sect, not the Ouyang Lineage.
But this time, as soon as the Ouyang Lineage entered the city, all sorts of prominent figures from the city arrived.
The Ouyang Lineage of today is no longer the dilapidated Ouyang Lineage that everyone looked down upon.
The news that Ouyang Ling had killed Ou Yunsheng twice and become the world's number one Sacred Heart Spirit Imbuing spread like wildfire, and all parties had already received the news.
They may not be able to compare to the Ouyang Lineage at their peak, but the Ouyang Lineage with the Sacred Heart Spirit Imbuing is still terrifying.
Moreover, the Ouyang Lineage now has the backing of the Vast Heaven Sect, which even personally built a palace for Ouyang Lineage, demonstrating the high level of importance the Vast Heaven Sect places on them.
The Ouyang siblings were people Chu Xinghe valued highly.
Don't let Chu Xinghe's Chu Xinghe Future position as the master of the Vast Heaven Sect is absolutely unshakeable.
Therefore, whoever gains Chu Xinghe gains control of the Vast Heaven Sect. The Ouyang siblings are Chu Xinghe's right-hand men, and one can imagine their Future achievements.
Prominent figures in the city flocked to welcome the Ouyang Lineage, and a grand banquet was held in their honor.
But Ouyang Ming waved his hand dismissively, "The banquet is unnecessary! We still need to pay respects to our ancestors!"
Hearing Ouyang Ming's words, although some people felt uncomfortable, there was nothing wrong with him wanting to pay respects to his ancestors.
Anyone who achieves great success should go home and report to their ancestors, letting them know that the Ouyang Lineage is no longer what it used to be!
Therefore, the banquet had to be cancelled.
Ouyang Ming led Ouyang Lineage disciples back to the ancestral home, where Ouyang Lineage then heavily guarded Ouyang Lineage premises, layer upon layer, and began their ancestral worship ceremony...
"Where should we start digging?" Ouyang Ming asked his sister, looking completely inexperienced.
Ouyang Ling, on the other hand, was very experienced.
Let's dig up Grandpa's grave first!
"That makes sense. Our grandpa liked to hide things when he was alive. I bet he found something..."
The Ouyang siblings took matters into their own hands, and soon their grandfather's grave was dug up.
After the coffin was opened, the brother and sister searched it carefully for a long time... Finally, they discovered something enormous...
They found everything—Grandpa's dentures, Grandpa's comb, Grandpa's porcelain pillow—but they couldn't find what they were looking for.
"Should we try checking our father's grave?" Ouyang Ming asked solemnly.
"That's right! We definitely have to check our father's grave!" Ouyang Ling agreed wholeheartedly.
"Senior brother and sister... didn't you two build the master's grave? Don't you know if there's anything inside? You wouldn't just want to dig it up..." An Ouyang Lineage disciple looked at the Ouyang siblings with a puzzled expression.
The Ouyang siblings abruptly turned and stared at the disciple with a deathly gaze, instantly silencing him...
As expected... you guys...
Soon, the Ouyang siblings dug up their father's grave; they didn't even need to search... and sure enough, they found nothing...
The "ancestral worship" ritual continued, and the brother and sister dug with their eyes bloodshot, but although they dug out a lot of things, they didn't find anything they wanted.
"Sister, only the first ancestor's grave remains. Let's... make our move!"
The brother and sister nodded, and then began to work.
As the saying goes, "Heaven rewards those who persevere." After the first ancestor's grave was dug up, a jade slip appeared in the hands of the brother and sister.
Ouyang Ming poured his Spirit Power into the jade slip, and in an instant, all sorts of information surged out of the jade slip!
As expected of the first ancestor, he probably foresaw the possible decline of the Lineage back then, so he secretly took all of the Ouyang Lineage's heritage with him to his grave.
At this moment, the jade slip reappeared, and the Cloud-Piercing Hammer Technique finally appeared in Ouyang Ming's mind.
The brother and sister embraced and wept.
The Ouyang Lineage can finally rise again!
Ancestors, please rest assured, I, Ouyang Ming, will surely lead the Ouyang Lineage back to its peak!
No! I, Ouyang Ming, will lead the Ouyang Lineage to surpass its peak and do what no one before us could do!
With tears welling up in his eyes, Ouyang Ming knelt down to thank each of his ancestors before resuming the repair of their tombs.
When the last tomb was completed, the brother and sister were overjoyed and prepared to leave.
"Senior brothers and sisters... your father's grave hasn't been repaired yet..." a disciple of the Ouyang Lineage reminded them.
Yeah?
Oh no... This was a complete oversight... I was so excited just now... that I accidentally forgot about my dad's grave... cough cough... This was absolutely an oversight!
Perhaps because of their father's grave, the Ouyang siblings hurriedly reburied it with grim faces. After finishing, they clapped their hands and turned to leave.
The Ouyang Lineage disciples wore wry smiles... "You two... it seems you forgot to close the coffin just now, you buried the patriarch's face directly with soil... Never mind... no need to worry about these details."
After the Ouyang Lineage's "ancestral worship ceremony" concluded, the Ouyang Lineage hired countless chefs from the best restaurants in Zhaoyang City, as they were determined to hold a grand banquet to celebrate such an important day.
Ouyang Ming led the way in offering incense to the ancestors, but why didn't you offer incense to your own father...?
Ouyang Ling explained from the side, "Brother did the right thing. Father didn't like the smell of incense when he was alive. Brother is just being filial."
The Ouyang Lineage disciples were moved to tears; they were truly an exceptional brother and sister!
Then, a small incident occurred near the end of the ancestral worship ceremony: the altar table where the ancestral tablets were placed became slightly wobbly due to its age.
While the other disciples were saying they would repair it immediately, Ouyang Ling unhesitatingly picked up her father's memorial tablet and placed it under the table leg.
Ouyang Ming explained from the side, "When Father was young, he vowed to carry on the family legacy. Although he is no longer here, this is still an opportunity for him to do so. We must not undermine Father's filial piety in carrying on the family legacy, so we absolutely cannot replace the altar!"
The disciples of the Ouyang Lineage were moved to tears... What an exceptionally good family head!
Because of the ancestral worship ceremony, the Ouyang Lineage members didn't have much of an appetite. Twenty people ate at forty tables before some put down their chopsticks.
The ancestral worship banquet has now come to an end.
At night, in the ancestral home, Ouyang Ming held the jade slip with a devout expression.
"Brother... you must work hard, you can't let Senior Brother Xinghe down!"
"Don't worry! With the ancestor's jade slip, I will soon be able to comprehend all the Cloud-Piercing Hammer Techniques. At this All-Under-Heaven Spirit Weapon Grand Gathering, I will let everyone know that the Ouyang Lineage has returned! I will let Senior Brother Xinghe know that I, Ouyang Ming, have never forgotten Senior Brother Xinghe's kindness in helping me!"
The brother and sister nodded emphatically, fully prepared to give Senior Brother Xinghe a huge surprise...
Central Continent City... Chu Xinghe sneezed loudly.
"Who's thinking of me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than an ominous sound came from outside.
"Senior Brother Xinghe, Ma Liang missed you so much!"
Ma Liang rushed in from outside, his face full of excitement. He went up and hugged his Senior Brother Xinghe, tears streaming down his face.
"Ma Liang... your senior brother also wants to... cough cough... misses you..."
"Senior Brother Xinghe, please rest assured, Ma Liang will never let you down. I Fengdu Token every day, and I will also ensure that the Fengdu Grand Formation grows stronger so that it can become an asset to Senior Brother Xinghe in the Future!"
Ma Liang swore to the heavens, "Since Senior Brother Xinghe me so much, I will never let him down in the slightest."
Hearing Ma Liang's words, Chu Xinghe was greatly shocked.
Junior Brother Ma Liang! There's really no need for that!
Senior brother, the main purpose of me setting up this Fengdu Grand Formation is to deplete the sect's resources. Don't let it get out of hand for me.
But after thinking about it, how can such a ghost town take off? Do you really think this place is a haunted house?
Are people so bored that they go to haunted houses every day for a thrill? There are ghosts everywhere in this world, why bother going to haunted houses? Everywhere is exciting enough!
However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Xinghe still grabbed Ma Liang and told him his thoughts.
"Ma Liang, this Fengdu City is no ordinary place. So, if you just defend it well, that will be a tremendous achievement. Remember, don't worry about wasting resources. Make sure to provide Fengdu City with enough resources and maintain the perfect operation of the Fengdu Grand Formation at all times. Absolutely do not worry about wasting resources. If you run out of resources, just ask your senior brother, and he will prepare them for you immediately!"
"Don't worry, senior brother, I understand." Ma Liang nodded solemnly.
Chu Xinghe Fengdu Token to Ma Liang without hesitation, and then personally led Ma Liang into Fengdu City for a visit.
You won't know until you see it, and once you do, you'll be shocked!
With the Fengdu Token in hand, Ma Liang had absolute control over Fengdu City. Even so, Ma Liang still felt a chill when he first entered Fengdu City.
Seeing so many vengeful ghosts wandering around, Ma Liang felt quite uneasy.
Fortunately, the existence of the Fengdu Token made it impossible for the vengeful ghosts to resist.
But Ma Liang could roughly imagine how terrifying Fengdu City must have been when it was in the hands of Tantai Jing.
No wonder all the world's geniuses have fallen for him!
But it was no use. No matter how terrifying Fengdu City was, Senior Brother Xinghe still slaughtered his way through.
Moreover, Ma Liang could sense the feelings of various vengeful ghosts. At this moment, through the Fengdu Token, Ma Liang could clearly feel that the vengeful ghosts did not react much when they saw him; it was simply that the Fengdu Token was suppressing them.
But when they saw Senior Brother Xinghe, the ghosts were genuinely terrified!
Ma Liang had previously heard many Senior Brother Xinghe about Xinghe's rampage in Fengdu City.
But now Ma Liang knows that the rumors were actually unfounded!
Senior Brother Xinghe's attack wasn't just indiscriminate slaughter... he actually shattered the courage of the vengeful ghosts inside the Fengdu Grand Formation!
Look how terrified those vengeful ghosts are, almost wetting themselves when they see Senior Brother Xinghe. What exactly did Senior Brother Xinghe do inside?
With Chu Xinghe accompanying him on a tour of Fengdu City, Ma Liang officially took over the Fengdu City. Holding the Fengdu Token in his hand, Ma Liang was filled with excitement. He was determined not to disappoint his Senior Brother Xinghe this time. He was determined to make Fengdu City perfect, only in this way could he surprise his Senior Brother Xinghe!
