Some rejoiced, while others grieved.

Bai Xinweng fell silent, but Bai Xinji became energetic.

"Bai Xinweng, now it's my turn to ask you, what do you have to say?" Bai Xinji questioned with excitement.

He couldn't help but lament that Bai Xinweng's grandson was truly a fool, helping him every step of the way.

Bai Xinweng took a deep breath and then took out a crystal-clear jade pendant from his bosom.

The jade pendant had an extremely bright color, and it could be seen at a glance that it was of great value.

"Child, since you are determined to go, then take this jade pendant!"

"If you encounter a fatal danger in the ancestral shrine wasteland, then crush the jade pendant! I will guarantee your safety!"

Bai Xinweng's words revealed unparalleled confidence.

Seeing this, Bai Xinji's face sank, and he questioned in a deep voice.

"Bai Xinweng, what do you mean by this? Are you helping him cheat?"

"There's no need to cheat. Some people can stoop so low as to make things difficult for a child, so why can't I stoop low to protect this child?" Bai Xinweng retorted.

"Heh... then why don't we make a bet, Bai Xinweng?" Bai Xinji narrowed his eyes.

"What bet?" Bai Xinweng asked.

"Let's bet on whether he can walk out of the ancestral shrine wasteland alive without relying on your jade pendant!" Bai Xinji said in a deep voice.

"Okay, then if he wins, the family will give him a Holy Child Sequence status!" Bai Xinweng said.

"That's impossible! How can a mere Saint Stage Second Layer have the status of a Holy Child Sequence?"

"Furthermore, by doing this, wouldn't it be trampling on the efforts of other prodigies in the Bai family who are striving to obtain the Holy Child Sequence status? If they develop resentment towards the Bai family, will you, Bai Xinweng, bear the responsibility?"

Bai Xinji immediately refused, and then pinned a large hat of alienating the family on Bai Xinweng.

Although the Bai family has countless geniuses, the identity of the Holy Child Sequence is extraordinary.

Anyone who can become the Bai family's Holy Child Sequence is a true prodigy, one in ten thousand, and each one is an invincible existence who can physically dominate those of the same rank.

Ultimately, the Bai family's Holy Child will also be selected from the strongest one in the Holy Child Sequence to serve as the Holy Child.

The previous Holy Child of the Bai family was Bai Shiyan, and Bai Shiyan's disappearance also led to a break in the Bai family's Holy Child position, and this position is currently vacant.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Bai family's Holy Child will basically become the next patriarch of the Bai family.

"Isn't someone who can walk out of the ancestral shrine wasteland qualified to sit firmly in the position of a Holy Child Sequence?"

Bai Xinweng sneered.

"Then you might as well ask those few people who have already obtained the Holy Child Sequence status now, which of them has the guts to venture into the ancestral shrine wasteland?"

"You!!!" Bai Xinji glared angrily.

"Bai Xinweng, I agree to your conditions, but if you lose, then you, your grandson, and your daughter will get out of the Bai family!"

A cold voice exploded from a distance, and then a thin black-robed old man walked towards the ancestral shrine from a distance.

With each step he took, ripples would ripple through the space, obviously cultivating the Bai family's Flowing Water Strength to an extremely high level.

The appearance of this old man also caused a shock throughout the Bai family.

"It's the patriarch, the patriarch has emerged from seclusion!"

"The patriarch's strength seems to be even stronger than before he went into seclusion. It feels like the patriarch has cultivated the Flowing Water Strength to the extreme!"

"What exactly happened? How could even the patriarch be alarmed?"

Countless Bai family members widened their eyes.

This thin old man is the current patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Xinzhan!

He and Bai Xinji are biological brothers, and it was Bai Xinzhan who secretly signaled that Bai Xinji dared to make things difficult for Bai Xinweng in every possible way.

Bai Xinzhan always felt like he had a lump in his throat and couldn't sit firmly in the position of patriarch until Bai Xinweng's lineage was completely driven out of the Bai family.

With the arrival of Bai Xinzhan, the patriarch, the other elders of the Bai family soon arrived at the scene.

These people represent the current high-level power of the Bai family, and as soon as the elders arrived, they smelled an unusual scent.

They knew very well that Bai Xinzhan was launching a second coup...

In the first coup, he successfully forced Bai Xinweng to give up the position of patriarch. In this second coup, he would force Bai Xinweng to leave the Bai family.

However, these elders did not say anything. After all, with their strength and status, they could not compete for the position of patriarch. Being neutral in this kind of internal conflict was the most conservative approach.

"Okay, I promise you! Open the ancestral shrine wasteland!" Bai Xinweng narrowed his eyes.

Bai Xinzhan didn't waste any time, and directly took out the patriarch's token. Immediately afterwards, a space channel formed in front of him.

"Child, don't be stressed. If you really encounter risks that you can't solve, crush the jade pendant I gave you!" Bai Xinweng said earnestly to Qiao Yu.

"Okay, don't worry, Uncle Weng, then I'll go!"

Qiao Yu couldn't wait to rush into the space channel, and as Qiao Yu entered, the space channel slowly closed.

Bai Xinzhan threw the patriarch's token into the sky, and the token turned into a sky screen, reflecting the scene of Qiao Yu in the ancestral shrine wasteland.

At the same time, Bai Xinzhan's voice resounded throughout the entire Bai family.

"Let the people of the Bai family come together and witness this. Qiao Yu, the grandson of Elder Bai Xinweng, will venture into the ancestral shrine wasteland alone. If he succeeds, he will obtain the position of my Bai family's Holy Child Sequence. If he fails, then Bai Xinweng, his grandson, and his daughter will voluntarily sever their relationship with the Bai family."

Bai Xinzhan's words were no less than dropping a bomb, and the people of the entire Bai family were instantly blown away.

"What? The position of the Holy Child Sequence? What a generous reward is this?"

"A generous reward also requires one to have the life to take it. Even a demigod entering the ancestral shrine wasteland is in danger. I heard a long time ago that Qiao Yu is only at the Saint Stage Second Layer!"

"Saint Stage Second Layer venturing into the ancestral shrine wasteland? Pfft, I bet he'll die inside in less than a quarter of an hour!"

The younger generation of the Bai family did not pay attention to the second half of Bai Xinzhan's words. Their attention was focused on the position of the Holy Child Sequence.

Only some of the older members of the Bai family realized that something was wrong. This was clearly a game played by the higher-ups of the Bai family using this opportunity. Patriarch Bai Xinzhan was trying to eliminate dissidents...

Qiao Yu naturally didn't know about these undercurrents outside.

After rushing into the space channel, he thought that the so-called ancestral shrine wasteland should be a desolate place, with ghosts and shadows everywhere.

But after coming in, Qiao Yu realized that he was wrong. The so-called ancestral shrine wasteland was actually a place with green grass and fragrant flowers!

If it weren't for the rows and rows of tombstones standing there, people who strayed into this place might even think they had come to a park with singing birds and fragrant flowers.

Qiao Yu was not in a hurry to move forward, but stood on the periphery and shouted loudly.

"Hello? Are there any living people in this place? If there is anyone alive, give a shout?"

Qiao Yu's voice resounded throughout the silent graveyard, but no one in the graveyard paid attention to him. Only the branches and leaves of the Shorea robusta trees swayed gently with the breeze, scattering petals all over the sky, as if mourning the deceased.

The Bai family members outside listened to Qiao Yu's shouting, and the corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help but twitch.

Asking if there are any living people in my Bai family's ancestral坟 (fén, graveyard)? Is that polite?
