"It will take a few days to prepare for the funeral. Before that, I will take you to find the way."

Hood signaled Shirley to stay where she was, and then took Yang Xi to the family ancestral hall.

Looking at the ancestors enshrined in the ancestral hall, Hu De and Yang Xi worshiped again and again, "From the time our ancestors established our Keith family to the present, our family has killed thousands of supernatural warriors in order to continue the supernatural bloodline.

.”

"But those who can enter the ancestral hall and enjoy the worship of those who come after us are only the strong men of the third level!"

Through Dulan's memory, Yang Xi was no stranger to this ancestral hall. Every time Dulan got into trouble, he would think about it here.

But this guy is really a bastard. In order to vent his dissatisfaction, he almost burned the place down.

As a result, he was severely punished by Walker. From then on, when he came here to be punished, Duran only dared to face the wall obediently.

"In a few days, my brother's life crystal will also be enshrined here. As the patriarch, he will be placed in the top row."

In the Orside plane, the customs of treating the deceased are different from those in the Azure Star plane.

They did not simply carve the name of the deceased on the wooden memorial tablet, but used magic crystal to seal part of the body crystal and make it into a rhombus-shaped container, about the size of a fingernail, which is called a life crystal.

With the energy provided by the magic crystal and the alchemical matrix engraved within it, it can levitate and glow, and even some high-level life crystals can leave behind battle images of the deceased.

The reason why it is made so small is to facilitate transfer.

Suppose the family encounters force majeure and needs to move, then all it takes is to activate the alchemical matrix on the life crystals, and hundreds of ancestors' life crystals will gather together and become an easy-to-carry crystal ball.

In this way, Ossaid will not throw away their ancestors.

In the Orside plane, the continuation of a supernatural family relies heavily on the blood essence and blood of the strong men left behind by their fourth-level ancestors, which makes them particularly important to inheritance.

Hood finished his worship. At this time, an old man came in from the side door of the ancestral hall.

He looked very old, and the aura on his body was clearly at the third level.

"I have met Lord Hood and Young Master Dulan."

The old man saluted the two of them respectfully, with a hint of surprise in his cloudy eyes, but he soon regained his composure.

Obviously, he also knew what the purpose of Hood bringing Dulan to the ancestral hall was at this time of year.

Hood introduced: "Dulan, you should be familiar with this senior. He was Evans, the personal butler of the previous patriarch, and is now responsible for looking after the ancestral hall."

Yang Xi nodded. In Dulan's memory, this old man also appeared several times.

It's a pity that at that time, Dulan thought that he was just a marginalized servant who ordered him around.

“I’ve seen Senior Evans, and I’ve offended him many times before!”

Like those clingy Yingying Yanyans, Yang Xilai is the only one to bear the blame for the mistakes Du Lan commits.

The former butler Evans said repeatedly: "Master Dulan, please don't offend me. I am originally a servant of the Keith family, and those things should be done."

How could Hood not know about Duran's past bastard?

But now that the eldest nephew has changed his ways, there is no need to hold on to him.

"Uncle Evans, you should have guessed the purpose of my coming here, right?"

Evans nodded and said a little lonely: "Has the family reached such a critical moment again?"

He couldn't help but recall that decades ago, when the Keith family encountered changes, the old patriarch led two brothers, Walker and Hood, to the ancestral hall.

At that time, he was still the personal butler of the family head, but that night, he became the guardian of the ancestral hall, and he remains so until now.

Yang Xi was confused as to what kind of riddles these two Osiders were playing.

Hu De said seriously: "My brother is dead. Now you and I are the only two people who know the location of the family inheritance stone and the strong man's essence and blood, so I brought Dulan here in advance just in case.

"

When Evans heard this, he said seriously: "Did you notice anything strange?"

"Not yet, but I feel that the Keith family seems to be targeted by a powerful force. Doing this now is also a precautionary measure."

Yang Xi secretly laughed, this Oside people's idiom is not bad!

"If the family needs me, I can go to the battlefield. After all, I am also a third-level supernatural warrior!"

If they do not break through to the fourth level, as the Osiders grow older, their strength will continue to decline.

Evans is currently only in the middle of the third level.

Hood shook his head and said, "It hasn't reached this point yet."

He walked up to Evans and whispered: "Besides, I hope you can take Dulan and Shirley away at the most dangerous moment, just like you took my brother and me."

Hood looked at Evans, his eyes full of nostalgia. Through the wrinkled old face in front of him, Hood could still recall what Evans looked like in his prime.

"In that case, let me follow your arrangements."

The old man sighed. He also thought of the scene when he was in danger. However, the child who wanted to hide under his wings to escape has now become a strong man who stands upright.

Being displaced may be the fate of a small family like theirs.

Perhaps only the high-ranking Celestial Family can stay in one place without being forced to live in the native plane due to a sudden disaster, competing with a group of losers with similar fates for the opportunity to return to civilized society.

Hood said to Yang Xi: "Dulan, you come with us, it's time to tell you the location of the family's inheritance stone and the blood essence of the strong man!"

This...is so sudden?

Yang Xi felt like he was running through iron shoes and couldn't find anything. Originally, he was still worried about how to find a way to get the inheritance stone and the blood essence of the strong man.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Walker died, Hood would send the things over.

I told you earlier, we are also at the fourth level.

He said obediently: "Yes, second uncle."

Under the leadership of Evans, the three came to a secret room.

Evans skillfully followed the established steps and activated the matrix of the secret room door.

In an instant, a faint red light illuminated the entire corridor, and the portraits in the corridor looked a little strange against the light.

Entering the secret room, apart from some high-purity magic crystals and alchemy equipment piled on the ground, the most eye-catching thing is the two vessels sealed in icicles.

One is an octahedron made of magic crystal, covered with a dense alchemical matrix. With Yang Xi's fourth-level strength, he can feel the faint law fluctuations emanating from it.
