Kong Rui and Chao Bai had discussed it. While the Patriarch and the others were not around, they would go to the ancestral hall to investigate and search for traces of the Li family’s secret technique.
After making up their minds, the two of them left the courtyard and walked towards the ancestral hall. They had just taken a few steps when they saw Xiao Cui rushing towards the front yard.
Kong Rui felt a little baffled when she saw Xiao Cui almost fall to the ground as she fled in a panic.
Why was this girl running out of the residence in such a panic?
Before Kong Rui could figure it out, a manservant walked in quickly from the front yard.
Kong Rui stopped the servant. “Stop!”
The servant was startled and turned around, as if he had just noticed Li Ling and Chao Bai standing not far away. “Miss Li Ling…”
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Kong Rui asked with a frown.
The servant swallowed hard. “I don’t know what’s wrong with Miss Li Han, but she has been delirious with a fever since early this morning. She has already fainted.”
“Xiao Cui just went to the Bestial Battle Arena to invite the patriarch back. I’ll go to the inner courtyard to invite the clan’s doctor over to take a look.”
“The clan doctor hasn’t examined her yet?” Kong Rui asked curiously.
“This…” The servant looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Kong Rui knew that these servants couldn’t say anything, so she didn’t ask further.
“Go!” Kong Rui waved her hand and let the servant leave.
After the servant left, Kong Rui grabbed Chao Bai’s wrist. “Let’s go! When the Patriarch and the others return later, we won’t be able to go anymore!”
Chao Bai obediently followed her towards the ancestral hall. Coincidentally, those people were busy checking on Li Han and no one paid attention to the ancestral hall.
After Kong Rui and Chao Bai arrived outside the ancestral hall, Chao Bai stopped while holding Kong Rui’s hand and said, “This is the place!”
“Are you saying that there’s really demonic energy here?” Kong Rui looked at the ancestral hall as she asked in disbelief.
The Li family was famous in the empire. The queen was also from the Li family. Why would demonic energy appear in the Li family?
“Not only that! The blood energy here is also very strong!” Chao Bai said, his eyes narrowed, as if he could sense danger.
Kong Rui also became nervous. “Do you know the reason?”
Chao Bai shook his head. “I can’t sense it. I still have to go in and take a look!”
Kong Rui gritted her teeth. “Alright! Let’s go in!”
The two of them looked around. There was no one else, so they walked in the direction of the ancestral hall’s door.
Due to the restrictions set up by the Li family’s ancestors, the Li family’s ancestral hall usually wasn’t guarded. Moreover, other than the Li family’s patriarch and a few elders, the others didn’t dare to come near the ancestral hall, so this place seemed especially quiet.
When he arrived in front of the door, Chao Bai stretched out his right hand and formed a few seals. Then, he tapped the door gently, and the restriction was easily removed.
Kong Rui was impressed and immediately pulled Chao Bai into the ancestral hall.
When she walked into the ancestral hall again, Kong Rui felt that something was different.
She couldn’t put her finger on it The items on display were all identical, but she felt that something had changed.
Ever since Chao Bai entered the ancestral hall, his expression had become solemn and he even looked angry.
Kong Rui didn’t notice Chao Bai’s reaction. After checking around and finding nothing unusual, she planned to find where the Li family’s secret technique was hidden.
Unexpectedly, Kong Rui had only taken two steps when she was pulled back by Chao Bai.
Before Kong Rui could ask what was going on, she heard a low voice not far away. “Who trespassed the ancestral hall?”
Kong Rui was startled when she heard the voice!
She didn’t sense anyone’s aura. Was there a hidden expert here?
Kong Rui looked around and saw Chao Bai staring at the memorial tablets with an even more solemn expression.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the ancestral hall.
Kong Rui stared intently at the memorial wall in front of her. It suddenly split open and a person walked out.
That person was covered in blood, and demonic energy was enveloping his body.
Kong Rui was shocked. She looked carefully at the person’s appearance, but she couldn’t tell who it was. However, when she saw the jade token on the person’s body, she was shocked. “Second Elder?”
“You’re actually still alive?” Kong Rui frowned and she instantly became vigilant.
At this moment, the Second Elder looked like a skeleton soaked in a pool of blood. However, the jade token on his waist was a symbol of his identity.
