Ximen Wudi was completely stunned by the scene before him. He saw that the five elemental divine beasts summoned by his mystical arts were sealed in place, like statues, unable to move at all.
And those ten or so children climbed up and down, changing positions non-stop as they took pictures.
There are those who step on dragon heads, touch tiger butts, knock on turtle shells, and even piss on bear heads.
This made him furious, he pinched the magic seal to drive the divine beast, but there was no effect at all.
Five giants stood there motionless.
It was only then that Ximen Wudi realized something was wrong. He had just fallen into an illusion, and logically speaking, the Five Elemental Divine Beasts summoned through his Xuan arts should have dispersed after losing his spiritual control.
But it still stands there perfectly fine, which is completely illogical.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the Five Element Divine Beasts were imprisoned by an extraordinarily powerful force. This completely severed their communication and blocked the leakage of their energy.
"Come on, everyone! I can only hold out for ten minutes!"
The girl shouting was a mixed-race child with blond hair and blue eyes, she was Ye Lunqi, the daughter of Ye Bufan and the former Divine Emperor Helena.
Although he is only six or seven years old this year, his innate sacred physique has already mastered the Art of Great Prophecy to perfection. He single-handedly imprisoned the Five Element Divine Beasts.
"What...what kind of children are these?"
Xi Men Wu Di stared in disbelief, his eyes wide with astonishment. At such a young age, this person possessed such formidable spiritual power. His own proud magical arts were rendered completely useless before them.
Having figured this out, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He turned around and ran away.
Before he could even take a few steps, a child's voice rang out from behind him, "Stop playing! That old man is running!"
At the sound of shouting, Xi Men Wu Di was startled and quickened his pace, but just then his body suddenly stiffened, and he was completely immobilized, unable to move an inch.
"Damn, what kind of spell is this!"
He struggled, but to no avail. He was like the five divine beasts that had been imprisoned before him, transformed into a statue.
The worst was just beginning, he had barely stopped when a massive cactus fell from mid-air, the exact one he had just been sitting on. The bloody spikes smashed into his head, leaving him bleeding profusely.
Before Xi Men Wudi could even let out a scream, another searing pain shot through his rear. Ye Qinghan's one-foot long short sword plunged directly into his buttocks.
The little sword was not large, but it was incredibly sharp, piercing in half a foot deep.
Fortunately, my skin is thick and I wasn't seriously injured.
Then a wave of attacks came crashing down upon him. There were slaps to the face, blows to the head, kicks to the backside, and stomps on his feet. A cacophony of pain raged through his nerves.
After an unknown amount of time, it all finally came to an end. He was kicked away, drawing a massive arc as he flew out over a hundred meters, and the restraints binding him were also lifted.
"You old bastard, if you dare to cause trouble at my house again, I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so children vanished without a trace and ran into Ye's house to play games.
Having made sure he was safe by hiding in the bushes, Ximen Yufeng quickly ran over and pulled Ximen Wudi up from the ground.
"Ancestor, are you alright?"
"Grandfather, why are you crying?"
Ximen Wudi's face was beaten into a pig's head, and two tears streamed down his cheeks.
I originally thought that after 100 years of seclusion, I would be invincible upon my return. However, every battle became more brutal than the last.
The worst part is that not even a single adult has been seen, and he's been beaten up like this by a group of children.

"Such humiliation! This is unbearable! Old man, I will avenge this today!"
"Grandfather, how about we just forget it?"
Looking at Ximen Wudi's bruised and swollen face, Ximen Yufeng gradually calmed down from his initial excitement, realizing that his ancestor didn't seem like a master of high skill, but was truly no match for the opponent.
"No, I have to get revenge for this!"
Ximen Wudi turned back to look in the direction of the Ye family mansion, "This old man will destroy everything, destroy these little bastards."
Ximen Yufei hesitated: "Ancestor, will it work?"
Ximen Wudi gritted his teeth and said, “The most powerful thing I have obtained from my inheritance is not martial arts or magic, but the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Annihilation Array!”
Once this formation is unleashed, nothing can withstand it, nothing can survive. The entire Ye family will be reduced to dust!
Xi Men Yu Fei was shocked: "So amazing?"
"Not only impressive, but downright vicious."
After Ximen Wu Di finished speaking, he began to treat his injuries. Once he was wrapped up, he looked like a walking mummy.
When night fell, they began to quietly set up their camp.
The entire Ye family was peaceful and harmonious, going about their daily lives as if he didn't exist at all.
Three days later, Ximen Wudi finally finished setting up the formation, standing at the gate with Ximen Yufeng and laughing heartily.
"Once my formation is set, even the immortals won't be able to save them."
Xi Men Wudi was incredibly pleased. He raised his hand and cast a spell, activating the formation.
"Nine Heavens Ten Earths Annihilation Array, activate!"
A thunderous roar erupted, with the Ye family at its center. The surrounding world surged with energy, the sky darkened with swirling clouds, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, as if the end of the world was upon them.
"Haha, destroy everything!"
Seeing his great revenge accomplished, Ximen Wudi was filled with boundless joy. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a torrent of violent Xuan Qi towards the Ye family. Wherever it passed, nothing remained untouched.
Even the two stone lions at the front gate instantly turned into powder, scattering in the wind. This shows just how powerful it was.
Seeing the scene before him, Ximen Yufeng finally felt at ease. It seemed that the old ancestor still had real skills.
It was at this moment that an unexpected incident occurred. The Ye family's residence suddenly shimmered with a faint layer of golden light. It seemed thin and delicate, yet it was impenetrable.
The violent clash of Heaven and Earth's Qi failed to budge it, instead being directly repelled.
Originally, Ximen Wudi was excitedly manipulating the formation, waiting to see the Ye family destroyed. Suddenly, he was caught off guard and shot into the air, crashing heavily to the ground. Blood spurted from his wounds.
Even from the outskirts, far away, Ximen Yufeng was left disheveled and humiliated.
When the smoke cleared, the entire Ye family compound remained intact except for two stone lions, which were gone. It was as if nothing had happened at all.
He ran over and pulled Ximen Wudi out of the sandstorm, “Ancestor, what’s going on? Isn’t your formation impregnable? How could this happen?”
"Damn it, defensive formation! There's actually a top-tier defensive formation here! I can't even tell it's there!"
Ximen Wudi spat out two mouthfuls of blood, his face full of shock.
He inherited the skill and had a very high attainment in formations. However, he hadn't noticed that the Ye family had a defensive formation before, which shows how high the level of the formation was.
"Let's run, we can't afford to mess with the Ye family!"
At this moment, he truly realized the gap and turned around to escape, but it was too late. Figures flashed, and over twenty children surrounded them completely.
There was Ye Qingbei, Ye Qinghan, Ye Lunqi, and some new faces. Looking at them, one by one, they all had excited expressions and bright eyes.
