Greta and Stella blocked most of the villagers, combined with Director Gao immediately starting a live broadcast, which made the villagers of Nova Village dare not act rashly.
The cameraman originally assigned to follow Scarlett Jennings throughout this event was very anxious.
He knew that today’s situation, Master Jennings and her companion were key.
But who would tell him where they were?
While the showdown was happening at the village entrance, no one noticed a figure quietly slipping away behind the production team.
On the other side.
Led by Samuel Chalmers, Scarlett Jennings instantly teleported to the village’s Ancestral Hall.
In front of the village’s wide square stood a majestic temple hall adorned with carved railings and painted walls.
Despite the ravages of time, it was evident that later generations had maintained it; the exquisite reliefs and colored porcelain mosaics were proof of the clan’s prosperity.
Scarlett and Samuel’s sudden appearance startled the elders and some young men guarding the hall with fear and alarm.
Scarlett knew there would be guards here but still walked straight forward.
"Stop!"
The elder in the lead shouted angrily,
"The Ancestral Hall is a sacred place! How dare a woman enter?!"
Scarlett momentarily paused, seriously rolling her eyes at the elder before her.
It’s the 21st century, yet there’s still a rule about women not entering the Ancestral Hall.
"Dare or not, I’m here."
She spoke and ignored the people in front, her eyes sweeping across the vast Ancestral Hall.
Following the position of the resentful energy, she found what she was looking for in front of the hall.
It was an ancient stone tablet, smoothed at the edges by centuries of wind and rain.
Only the words on the stone remained as clear as ever.
The stone tablet read "Chastity and Loyalty" in large characters, while the smaller characters beneath had eroded over time and were barely decipherable.
But upon closer inspection, one could vaguely make out the words "Wife Wright of Franklin Nova" at the end.
This is a Chastity Stone Tablet, originally meant to be on the head of an archway, commonly referred to in ancient times as—
A Chastity Arch.
In this Ancestral Hall filled with fortune, only it gathered ink-like thick resentful energy.
This stone tablet was the truth behind Evelyn Wright marrying into the Nova Clan for six consecutive generations.
It was also why every generation of the Nova Lineage sacrificed a woman to ensure the clan’s prosperity for several generations...
Her hands clenched subtly as Scarlett stepped forward, turned her back to the crowd, and pulled out the prepared magic artifact.
She placed the wooden lotus sculpture on the stone tablet, chanting single-handedly, and lines of red shot from the sculpture to bind the four pillars of the courtyard with the stone tablet at the center.
Seeing her move, the elder’s expression changed suddenly,
"What are you doing to our Nova Clan’s stone tablet?!"
As he spoke, he signaled for the clan members beside him to step forward and stop her.
Samuel Chalmers remained calm, positioned behind her, directly facing those about to charge ahead.
He stayed still, and just as one drew near, silhouettes flew out rapidly from behind him.
Only to hear swoosh swoosh swoosh.
A crocodile tortoise shrouded in black mist and two little papermen emitting Golden Light flew out swiftly from Scarlett Jennings’s bag.
With an irresistible force, they swiftly kicked away the young men at the front.
Scarlett entrusted her back confidently to them, continuing to chant the Spell Breaking Mantra.
Using the Chastity Stone Tablet as the Array Eye, this Ancestral Hall is a giant sacrificial array.
By sacrificing the clan’s most revered women, use their lives to transform into fortune for the entire village.
And today, she is not only going to destroy this sacrificial array but also use the Ancestral Hall’s fortune to dissipate centuries of resentful energy from the stone tablet!
