Quickly, before he could finish his words, a series of cracking sounds echoed from the back mountain. Yan Kongyue had already led the Lin Family towards that direction, while the disciples and offspring of the Bai Family were busy evacuating guests and running towards the back mountain.
Strangely, they guided any guests who were alone to leave, yet they completely ignored the Lin Family. Even as the Lin Family made their way to the back courtyard, no one attempted to stop them. Along the way, some courtyard doors were locked while others stood wide open, clearly left that way for them.
This maneuver was beyond Lin Feng's ability to describe. In someone else's territory, no matter how things unfolded, they could always explain it away; after all, it was a supernatural incident, and the witnesses on site were all from the Bai Family.
Suddenly, a chilling aura spread from the back mountain. The rustling leaves fell silent as if making any noise would disturb something terrifying.
"Grandpa, no matter what happens later, don't panic."
"Don't worry, your grandpa has seen many things. A little wind and grass won't scare me; besides, you’re here too!"
"Alright!"
The further they walked, the more intense the terrifying atmosphere became, even causing a tingling sensation on their scalps. Finally, they arrived at a courtyard gate. The yard was built against the mountain, and the house inside looked ancient; weeds grew thick on the roof and the stone walls had lost their sharp edges. Yan Kongyue stopped in front of the gate.
A familiar feeling washed over her, elusive yet palpable.
"Lin Brother!" Qi Laotou hurried over, panting heavily, accompanied by several younger members of the Qi Family and four or five bodyguards.
"Lao Qi Tou, what brings you here?"
"I don’t know! We were supposed to head down the mountain but somehow ended up here."
Yan Kongyue raised an eyebrow; it seemed that the Bai Family intended to target more than just the Lin Family. However, she quickly dismissed this thought as another group approached from a different direction—people she didn’t recognize but whom Lin Old Man did.
Among them were several figures from Beijing’s elite circles who had good relations with the Lin Family, along with a few from high society in Magic City.
"Hmph, this Bai Laogui is trying to eliminate obstacles!" Lin Old Man's words revealed what had puzzled everyone about why they were moving further away from their path down the mountain. At this moment, it was clear to everyone what was happening.
But what did it matter if he lured them all here? If anything happened to them, it wouldn’t take long for blame to fall on the Bai Family—wasn’t he just weaving his own web?
"You all seem to have forgotten that the Bai Family is part of several generations of Xuanmen Families. If they want someone dead, it's as easy as pie for them. Do you think they would worry about an official investigation?" Fan Laotou spoke up; seeing so many people gathered here made him understand immediately.
"Exactly! If they didn’t have complete confidence in their plans, they wouldn’t have used this Birthday Banquet to lure us here. This excuse is both blatant and flawless!"
Hehe, I used to laugh at others for being foolish, but it turns out we are the ones who are foolish! But why did he gather us here?
Just take a look around the surrounding forest and you'll understand! Yan Kongyue took a few steps toward the woods, waved her small hand, and scattered glimmers of golden light. Many ghostly figures floated in the forest, appearing hazy and indistinct.
Oh my goodness! The speaker hadn't finished their words when someone next to them covered their mouth.
Most people's attention was drawn to the ghostly figures in the forest, while only a few noticed the golden light that Yan Kongyue had sprinkled from her hand.
"Little girl, what do you have in your hand?"
But before he could get an answer, the ghostly figures in the forest began to drift toward them.
