At this moment, Qi Yuxian's face was extremely furious, she pointed at Granny Zhang caught by many household servants and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

At this time, one of the old women still held an iron pot, inside which was a cloth doll, with the Eight Characters of Birth Time written on yellow paper. The cloth doll was naked, wearing a head hoop, with nails in its chest, and iron chains around its neck.

What made Qi Yuxian gnash her teeth was that there were two clay Demon Kings inside the iron can, extremely obscene.

"Wretched servant, shameless and vicious!"

The old woman beside her shouted sternly.

"Today's matter must not be spread outside. If anyone hears even a rumor, everyone present will be sold off, and the family's women and children will be sent away, showing no mercy!"

Upon hearing this, the servants and old women were frightened and quickly knelt to the ground.

"I hate, I am so full of hate!"

Granny Zhang, who was caught, still cursed relentlessly.

Her eyes seemed to bleed as she fiercely stared at Qi Yuxian.

"You little wretch, this hateful brat ruined my good plans…"

Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped hard by the old woman, and her face visibly swelled up.

Qi Yuxian's jade-like face was cold and bone-chilling, tightly clutching her clothes.

At the same time, there was a hint of relief in her eyes.

She was waiting for news in the garden when she suddenly saw a sneaky figure walk by. Out of curiosity, she followed it, unexpectedly discovering Granny Zhang acting suspiciously and secretly using magic, thus catching her in the act.

If not for this coincidence, she truly wouldn't have known someone in the Qi Family was playing with the Nightmare Suppression Skill, especially cursing her own mother.

Yet Qi Yuxian still had a thread of doubt in her heart; the figure she had seen earlier didn't quite match Granny Zhang's hunched, swollen form.

This thought flashed by quickly.

In her rage, she couldn't help but point at the terrifying-faced old woman in front of her and scold angrily.

"Granny Zhang, you are the old person by my mother's side, and my mother has always trusted your family. I never imagined you would betray the family so heinously, using such vicious Dharma Gate to harm the main family. Where is your conscience?"

Upon hearing this, the old woman burst into mad laughter.

"Conscience? Bah, trust is just something Madam Zhou does for others to see. She merely doesn't want people to say she's jealous, which would affect the master's future!

And you little wretch, don't pretend to be ignorant. Was my daughter's and grandson's death really just an accident?

These years, so many concubines in the master's room have been sold off or had miscarriages for no reason. You know full well that it was that jealous witch who killed so many innocent people, including my poor daughter and unborn grandson. I hate that I can't skin that witch alive, but unfortunately, I am useless and cannot avenge them!"

Seeing Granny Zhang still cursing, the burly old woman signaled the servants to gag her to prevent her from saying anything shocking.

At the same time, she came to Qi Yuxian and said, "Miss, how do you wish to deal with this damned Granny Zhang?"

Qi Yuxian's face changed.

She had heard of Madam Zhou's deeds but always held a lucky heart. Now with the lid lifted, how could she not suspect?

The main house indeed had the fewest people among the houses, except for her, a legitimate daughter, only having two younger brothers.

But seeing everyone's eyes on her, Qi Yuxian's expression quickly recovered, she scolded.

"Anyone deeply guilty will always first push all the blame onto others to soothe the remorse of their conscience. Granny Zhang, I witnessed your daughter's event personally, it has been judged by Grandfather, it was your daughter who colluded with the household servants, broke the rules, feared punishment, and committed suicide by jumping into a well, how is it related to the Qi Family?"

"And today, you set up the Nightmare Suppression Technique to harm my mother, is proven evidence, unforgivable sin. I will transfer you to Grandfather later for punishment according to Qi Family's rules and regulations. Besides, there might be someone behind you, otherwise, with your identity, you wouldn't dare to plot against the main family! I will pursue this to the end!"

Qi Yuxian's face was icy cold, her gaze sharply sweeping over everyone.

In secret, Zhang Jian watched this scene, his eyes fluctuating.

He sighed inwardly, inclined to believe Granny Zhang.

If not for deep hatred, how could she allow the Nightmare Suppression Technique's backlash, become so rotten, and plot against others.

This is mutual destruction.

Zhang Jian felt he might indeed have hindered someone "Acting on behalf of Heaven" this time.

If this aunt-in-law is so vicious, she should have her retribution!

But such things cannot be blamed on him.

After all, the initial evil technique harmed people.

The Nightmare Suppression Technique is indeed vicious and evil.

Though it's attacking poison with poison.

Just then, he suddenly looked up to see a fleeting arrow appearing in the darkness, flying towards Granny Zhang.

Several other arrows respectively shot towards the strongmen around Granny Zhang and even Qi Yuxian.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jian's Divine Thought swept out instantly, an overwhelming Extreme Yang Gang Wind swept out, immediately deflecting several arrows.

In the clanging sound, several crossbow arrows fell to the ground.

A faint stench was on the arrows, clearly poisonous.

Was this a plan to kill and silence?

"An assassin!"

At this time, the group of old women and servants saw this scene, already reacted, some changed their expression and shouted loudly, and several burly female attendants hurriedly took Qi Yuxian to hide under the eaves.

Qi Yuxian's face was also slightly changed, but her eyes instinctively glanced around.

Yet she didn't see any trace of the person who acted.

Zhang Jian had already chased out, his Spiritual Sense extremely keen, locked onto that figure the moment it appeared, Wind Walking Technique flowed, sweeping like a gentle breeze over the high wall.

In the darkness, the black-clad figure was like a startled bird, frantically fleeing.

This figure was somewhat shocked, knowing immediately he'd run into steel upon encountering such domineering Spiritual Mechanism.

To form such a substantial Spiritual Mechanism and Spiritual Pressure, only a part of accomplished 'Heterodox Sorcerers', these sorcerers are close to the Gate of the Great Dao, most are skillful and definitely not something he, a Qi Refining Stage sorcerer, could match.

On the long street, Zhang Jian watched that shadow rapidly disappearing, slightly squinting without further pursuit.

He stood with his face shrouded, exceptionally bright under the moonlight.

If needed, he could immediately use the Small Wind and Thunder Technique to stop the person.

But after careful consideration, Zhang Jian chose not to act.

The reason was simple, Zhang Jian found he seemed to have no reason to act.

The Zhang Family and Qi Family are not allies now, as for relative relation, seeing his grandfather's attitude, they might not be so close, so he naturally doesn't need to spend effort to help investigate.

Also, the target is the main house, not the second house which is close to the Zhang Family, so there's no need to shout to kill, since it's unrelated to him.

If recklessly acting, inevitably prematurely getting involved in Commandery City's deceitful grand trend.

And saving Qi Yuxian was already out of familial face, otherwise, he wouldn't have acted.

"Better go back and sleep!"

Zhang Jian thought this, directly returning.

What he needed now was peaceful times, steadily finishing accumulation, not proactively stirring trouble!

This made the black-clad figure frantically running feel inexplicably stunned, clearly feeling that ominous presence behind him, seemingly able to take his life at any moment.

But as he was chased, the person behind disappeared?

Tired, perhaps?

Zhan Li was still somewhat bewildered, had he just escaped death so easily?
