When passing by the Chen Family entrance, they noticed several burly men standing there, wearing traditional clothing with the large character ’Protection’ embroidered on both the front and back.

They must be members of the Demon Suppression Hall that Patriarch Chen often mentioned in his videos.

These people were already guarding the entrance and began ticket checks, forming a long line of tourists outside.

The Chen Family was more meticulous and rigorous in every aspect today.

Not far from the entrance, they also saw a special sign hanging outside a courtyard, indicating a prize redemption area for winners to collect their prizes.

Before long, Ding Lei and her friend He Yuan arrived at the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, where both sides of the street were lined with Jade Flower Tree bonsai.

This must have been sent by the wealthy tycoon.

They suspected that the person purchasing winning prizes via LED billboards might be that wealthy tycoon.

If it was indeed him, others wouldn’t stand a chance, as five others still had billboards there but to no avail.

A large crowd had gathered outside the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall, and many were holding offerings similar to theirs, like incense and wood.

People were holding wood, incense, and tree items, with some even bringing a small Jade Flower Tree bonsai, showing their faith in offerings to bring good fortune.

They reached the hall entrance, ready to be among the first to enter and draw a prize.

However, the entrance was equally guarded by members of the Chen Family’s Demon Suppression Hall, maintaining order.

At nearly 10 o’clock, an elderly female Daoist emerged, addressing the crowd: "Dear believers, once you enter the hall, please scan the code to get the incense sticks and follow the instructions for offering incense, then scan in the side hall to add the mini program."

"For those with offerings, after entering the hall, you can place your offerings in the open spaces on both sides, then take the incense sticks. The Celestial Venerable will bestow blessings upon you."

She smiled happily at the dense crowd of visitors, as it had been a long time since the Chen Family Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall had been this lively.

It made her very pleased, as this suggested that the Chen Family would thrive with abundant incense offerings.

Finally, 10 o’clock arrived.

The Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall opened, and the gathered crowd, supervised by the Chen Family’s Demon Suppression Hall members, queued up to enter the hall.

Those who came here had been watching news videos about the Chen Family on the internet in recent days, bearing great reverence for the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall.

Of course, with many people, there were always some who were skeptical or tempted to try their luck, especially after seeing people pay high prices for those prizes.

One man, eager to draw early in hopes of better odds, attempted to cut in line, stepping directly in front of Ding Lei.

This immediately displeased her: "What are you doing? Don’t you see there’s a queue?"

The man said nothing, glaring at her fiercely, which dampened her spirit; encountering such rude people while traveling was exasperating.

At this moment, Ding Lei saw a burly man appear behind the line-cutting male, seemingly the Hall Master of the Chen Family’s Demon Suppression Hall.

This was indeed a master of the Chen Family.

"Sir, I advise you to follow the rules before the Celestial Venerable Hall." Chen Dagou frowned at him. Given the importance of the draw, he personally oversaw the hall’s order today, and someone cutting in line in front of him was a direct affront.

Intimidated by Chen Dagou’s presence, the man was cowed, as Chen Dagou’s skills and feats were well-known.

Before he could react, Chen Dagou grabbed the man by the shoulders and effortlessly lifted him, carrying him outside.

The man was stunned, unable to resist, realizing his powerlessness.

Ding Lei and the other tourists were equally astonished, the sight of the hefty man being effortlessly carried away left them incredulous.

Many instinctively pulled out phones to capture this moment.

Since dealing with dog thieves and thief gangs, it was rare to witness the Chen Family masters in action; today’s encounter was indeed fortunate.

Chen Dagou didn’t punish him further; he just placed him in an open area outside and warned, "Sir, everything demands rules, and you must not disrespect the divine before the Celestial Venerable Hall."

With these words, he returned to the hall, leaving the tourists applauding.

Particularly Ding Lei and He Yuan, applauding the loudest.

Rude, unruly individuals needed to learn a lesson.

The line-cutting man flushed with embarrassment under the applause and instinctively wanted to leave, yet he was unwilling to dash the chance due to the prize’s value. He tried to join the queue again, but as he took a step, he stumbled clumsily, falling forward in a graceless sprawl.

Letting out a pained cry, he hit his chin and even bit his tongue.

Those around exchanged glances, some couldn’t help but whisper:

"Doing misdeeds in the Chen Family will bring bad luck, and he just cut in line in front of the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable, hence the retribution."

"The Chen Family master said he disrespected the divine, and now he’s suffered for it."

"It really comes true!"

"..."

For a moment, the queuing tourists instinctively swallowed, gazing into the Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable Hall with newfound awe.

The man rose, clutching his sore chin, looking at the hall with a hint of fear in his eyes.
