Chapter 46: The Ancestral Mansion Spirit Altar

  "Is it here?"

  Ye Han spoke up.

  Looking ahead, a dilapidated house with broken walls and dusty doors, the entrance was covered with thick dust and cobwebs. He couldn't believe that the Lott family's legacy of over a hundred years, ranked 128th on the 'Linghuo List', the priceless Youdu Linghuo, was actually hidden in such a rundown place.

  "That's right, Lord Ye Han." Mo Duo Xi, who was standing beside him, said with a hint of pride.

  "Since over a hundred years ago, our Luo family has settled in the City of Chaos and established a grand foundation. We have always understood the importance of self-preservation. The family has always believed that in this city where various forces are vying for power, the most dangerous place is actually the safest. Therefore, many years ago, after the last master who recovered the You Tu Ling Huo passed away, it was placed here. However, to be on the safe side, there are still some small tricks involved."

  "Alright then, let's see what you're made of."

  Ye Han sat in his wheelchair, smiling faintly.

  In the past few days, his body has recovered seven or eight points and his legs can walk on the ground. However, in order to prevent any accidents and prevent poor circulation of qi and blood in his legs, he still sits in a wheelchair as a matter of course during this period.

  The one pushing him from behind was not Castro, but Modosi's own granddaughter, the lovely girl with reddish-brown hair, Deling. For some reason, every time this little girl saw him, she would inexplicably blush and become shy, making Ye Han also feel somewhat uneasy all over.

  However, now is the crucial moment for integrating the remaining forces of the Dark Eagle Gang and annexing the surrounding small gangs. Naturally, outside, there is always a bat hunter 'Castro' who has been living in the chaotic city and is familiar with the situation of all parties. So Ye Han let him take the 'Dark Eagle' Wood, who had become a spiritual puppet, to handle various matters together. These two people, one literary and one martial, should be able to handle most of the problems.

  There is no one trustworthy around, and it can only be Delun who is still familiar with pushing the wheelchair.

  However, this lovely brown-haired girl still enjoys such things and has a willing expression. On the other hand, Mordo, the old patriarch of the Lott family, is completely invisible, which makes Ye Han very angry.

  At this time, the dark forces that had recently been gathering around had already set up their personnel all around, clearing out the eyes and ears of other forces, leaving only a few people to infiltrate deep into the ancestral mansion of the Luo Te family.

  With a creak, he pushed open the old and worn-out door, and suddenly a burst of dust fell down.

  In the distance, even a few fat giant mice were seen, and after being frightened, they frantically escaped to darker corners. It can be imagined that this place has been abandoned to what extent?

  "The mechanism of the hidden fire is in the backyard of our ancestral home, inside my grandfather's bedroom from back then. Adults, please follow me."

  Moduo Xi was very familiar with the situation here, and he led Ye Han's party through the corridors between the ruins and broken walls with ease, finally arriving at a very spacious room.

  "Clank, clank." Modoxi walked in and, under the already rotten bed board, skillfully manipulated something, and immediately a dull, dark room was filled with the sound of "clank, clank" as iron chains were stirred.

  Ye Han looked up and suddenly saw that behind an old cabinet on the side of the wall, a black square passage for one person to enter had flipped open.

  "As expected, it's hidden. It seems that your family has also gone to great lengths to conceal this rare and extraordinary spiritual fire."

  Ye Han exclaimed, the mechanism here is extremely hidden, fully utilizing human psychology to numb the enemy. Moreover, even if others suspected that the Luo Te family's ancestral mansion hid something, they probably wouldn't be able to find this place.

  As expected, those who can establish a large family in this tense and intense, survival-of-the-fittest chaotic city are indeed extraordinary.

  "Hehe, adults are just joking, after all, the Youdu Linghuo is too precious and can easily bring great disaster to the family, so we can't be careless!"

  Moduo Xi appeared very calm and said without hesitation.

  However, the adults have a debt of gratitude to the Lott family. From today on, this ghostly flame is yours, and it's also considered that the family has gotten rid of a great burden. After all, possessing something that one cannot protect will only bring disaster to the Lott family.

  "You're indeed able to think it through, don't worry, I will keep my promise."

  Ye Han glanced at him and said lightly.

  "Yes, thank you sir, I can rest assured now."

  Modo was overjoyed, and he led Ye Han and the others into the black passageway, saying: "Come, please follow me. Down here is where the You Tu Ling Huo is hidden!"

  As I walked into the passageway, below was a sloping flat road that led to deeper underground areas. The surroundings seemed somewhat oppressive and dark, where only the sound of Deling pushing Ye Han's wheelchair could be heard, 'creaking' as the wooden wheels collided with the ground.

  Soon, under the leadership of Modoxi, everyone followed that dark passage and came to a very spacious underground hall. The area of the hall was over 100 square meters, dark and quiet, empty and deserted.

  Modo lit the butter lamps on the walls around him, and suddenly, it was bright.

  Ye Han's eyesight was extremely good, and at a glance, he saw that in the center of the hall, a small altar had been erected, looking very solemn and mysterious.

  Approaching the altar, along the deliberately left passage on all four sides, and walking onto the surface of the altar. It was discovered that around this altar were many strange patterns, which should be some kind of energy gathering array. Countless lines eventually converged together, converging at the center position of the altar.

  There, a withered, snake-like white skeleton was placed, coiled there, within its huge and ferocious skull, a faint green glow flickered uncertainly, dark and obscure.

  "Is this the Youdu Linghuo?"

  Ye Han asked.

  His eyesight was excellent, and at a glance, he saw through the large skull, inside which there was a faint green flame suspended in the cranial cavity, curled up into a ball, emitting a very strange fluctuation.

  "Yes, that's right. That is the 128th ranked Youdu Linghuo in the Ling Huo rankings. This small underground altar was specifically built for it, with array patterns and secret marks all around to absorb the cold energy from the ground to support the burning of Youdu Linghuo. The skeleton of the Mo Shan python at the center of the altar was obtained during the most prosperous period of our family, and has been absorbed by Youdu Linghuo for over a hundred years. Now, the energy inside has also been depleted."

  Yehan nodded after hearing Modoxi's words, and didn't suspect anything.

  On the one hand, he believed that under the current circumstances of the Luo family, Modosi didn't have the guts to deceive him. On the other hand, his spiritual power was emanating outward, and from that unremarkable green flame, he faintly sensed a threatening aura. After all, with his current spiritual power surpassing nine levels, the flames that could make him feel threatened were certainly not ordinary.

  Modo walked to the center of the altar, carefully removed the huge skull from the skeletal remains of a giant python that was coiled into a ball, and placed it in a specially made semi-transparent container for safekeeping.

  But having lost the support of energy, the remaining white bones of the coiled python suddenly collapsed with a "rattling" sound and shattered into powder.

  "With the isolation of this crystal box, the dormant soul fire will not awaken in the skull of the ink mountain python, and adults can rest assured to collect it. As for whether to tame it themselves or sell it for other items, the Luo family will look up to the adult and never ask again."

  Ye Han took over the semi-transparent container, feeling that all the fluctuations of the Yougui Linghuo were completely isolated, and only then did he put it away in his storage bag with a nod.

  "You guys are quite thoughtful, don't worry! Since I've decided to establish my power in this chaotic city, although I don't know when I'll leave, I can promise that as long as the 'Heart's Gate' is in this chaotic city, I will guarantee the safety of the Lott family. But on one condition: the Lock family must not be the first to betray..."

  After subjugating the remaining forces of the Dark Eagle Gang, he annexed the large and small gangs around him. The dark force established by Ye Han on the basis of the Dark Eagle Gang was called 'Xinmen'. Because of the alias of Xingyiquan, it is also called XinYiQuan, he took this name, also to commemorate his past.

  "Rest assured, from today on, the Luo family will definitely take 'Xinmen' as their goal, sharing weal and woe."

  Receiving Ye Han's affirmative reply once again, Mo Duosi was overjoyed and hastily cupped his fists in respect.

  "Alright, now that we've got what we wanted, let's get out of here!"

  Ye Han sat in his wheelchair and spoke softly.

  "Yes."

  Modo's mood was excellent, and everyone followed him along the original road, walking out of the underground secret room of the Luo Te family.
