of "clearing the land and fortifying walls" around Feilong City to prevent Ci Lai from using it as a base to further expand his conquests southward. He also dispatched nearly 300,000 troops to tie do...Inside the Jinyu Taoist Temple, Zhang Liyang and Qing Shi Dao Ren looked at each other. Although Zhang Liyang's cultivation was inferior to Qing Shi Dao Ren's, in terms of aura, Zhang Liyang was no worse than Qing Shi Dao Ren.

"As expected of Lord Jade-Faced!" Qing Shi Dao Ren suddenly smiled faintly, then stepped aside. "If Lord Jade-Faced wishes to inspect, this poor daoist will naturally not obstruct him!"

Looking at the people making way on the stone path, Zhang Liyang's eyes narrowed slightly, concealing his barely perceptible killing intent.

It's clear that Qing Shi is deliberately saying this. Everyone knows now that Zhang Li Yang dislikes the title "Jade Faced Grandmaster". He even sent troops to arrest people because of it. Now, Qing Shi Dao Ren is still saying this, he's clearly provoking Zhang Li Yang.

He's just a commoner. Why would he provoke him at this time What guts does he have to provoke him

Qingshi Dao Ren is not Xiao Xiao, and there is no relationship between Xiao Xiao and Mu Yinghua. Could it be a fever dream

Jindao Guan wasn't very large; even after putting the Sanqing wood carvings in the biggest room, it still seemed a little cramped.

Behind the house were several structures resembling tile-roofed huts, plus a small vegetable garden. Everything was practically visible at a glance. Besides Qing Shi Dao Ren, it seemed there wasn't anyone else here.

Where are the other Daoists at Jin Yu Tao Guan

After checking around and finding nothing, Zhang Liyang came to the front yard and asked Qing Shi Dao Ren.

They all went on a journey, and because of that, I temporarily moved in.

After taking another glance with his eyes and finding nothing suspicious, Zhang Liyang cast a sharp look at Xiao Xiao, who had been silent the whole time beside him.

"It seems there's nothing amiss here, Daoist. I apologize for the intrusion."

"It's nothing! With Jade-Face Official coming to this Jinyu Taoist Temple, it can be considered a glorious event for this temple."

Zhang Liyang twitched the corner of his mouth, then turned and left, "Goodbye!"

"You better give me an explanation!" After leaving Jin Yu Dao Guan, Zhang Liyang stopped his horse and turned to Xiao Xiao, his eyes fierce. "Or else, you know the consequences!"

"No explanation." Xiao Xiao shrugged her shoulders while looking at Zhang Liyang, "The only thing I can guarantee is that I saw Qing Shi Dao Ren practicing with a live person!"

Inside the Jinyu Dao Guan, seeing Zhang Liyang and others leave in the distance, Qing Shi Dao Ren's mouth curled into a sneer. He didn't even bother closing the door as he turned around and went back into the Dao Guan.

Like other Taoist priests, Qing Shi Dao Ren first went to the vegetable garden behind the Taoist temple to turn over the soil, catch insects, and water the plants. Then he cooked himself a simple dinner.

When the moon was high in the branches, a scholar arrived at the front yard and began his studies under the Sanqing wooden carvings.

Not until late into the night did the stone-paved road people rise to their feet, shut the door of the Jinyu Taoist Temple, and extinguish the candles. The whole Jinyu Taoist Temple was plunged into darkness.

Suddenly, there were rustling sounds in the dark front yard room, but they soon died down and there was no further movement.

Whew!

A single candle flickered in the darkness, its wavering flame casting dancing shadows on a figure that writhed beneath it.

This is a corridor, footsteps constantly echoing. The figures are gradually walking down until they reach the end where light shines. After that, the figures' speed quickens a few points.

"Why are you just coming now"

"Be careful."

Candlelight flickered into the end, revealing a mud hut. Inside, a figure sat on a chair.

"You're being a bit reckless this time!" The figure in the chair seemed displeased. "I told you not to touch that."

"Look, it's not even half a day yet, and they've already found us. What if they discover us What will I do then!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. The figure on the chair suddenly slapped the wall beside him, and with a deafening crash, the wall caved in, creating a large dent.

"Don't panic, it's not like nothing happened," he said, placing the candle on the table. The light from the cave opening suddenly became brighter, "Don't frighten them."

"Humph!"

Seeing the arrival of someone, he still seemed indifferent. Another figure suddenly became enraged, "After today, you'll leave Fei Long City."

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I'll leave as soon as I recover."

"How about you two try some of this"

"Humph, no interest."

"Then I won't be polite." The person said as they walked towards a corner where two girls were staring at them with fright.

"You... what do you want to do We're the princess's prospective guards... You..."

"Hmph, the princess's prospective guard Then call your princess and see if she can come save you!"

"Hee hee, but don't tell anyone," the newcomer turned his head slightly to look at the figure on the chair. "I didn't expect to find such a good medicine in this desolate place. If it weren't for you..."

"If I hadn't stopped you, you would have been dead already. You really think that with your cultivation level, you could run amok in front of the 300 elite warriors of the Pan Shi Camp"

"Humph..."

Those who came were a little dissatisfied, but they only let out a soft hum and continued towards the two girls in the corner. A bloody light began to flicker in their eyes as well.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Don't worry!"

Like a soothing whisper, a figure reached out with both hands and placed them upon the heads of the two girls.

"It is your fortune to be able to fulfill the Daoist Master's wish!"

A ferocious smile rose, in the candlelight from behind like a demon, a man-eating demon!

"Your Highness, help! Your Highness...sob..."

The little girl, after going through such a commotion, was immediately frightened to tears, constantly crying for help.

"Haha... call it out, call it out. I'll see who comes to save you, haha..."

When the figure laughed, a booming sound suddenly rang out within the cave.

In the vague light, a shadowy figure emerged from the cave and rushed straight at the person standing in its entrance!

"Who!"

The sudden change caused the figures to hurriedly retract their hands and then cross them over their chests.

A foot appeared in front of the shadow, then thrust straight into the shadow's chest like a long spear!

Boom!

Under the blast, figures were forced backward by the tremendous force of the impact, crashing into the wall behind them and leaving cracks in its surface.

"Ahem..."

Under the veil of smoke, coughs echoed through the air. In the dim light of the cavern, several more figures emerged from the shadows.

"People say that humans are beastly in heart, Dao Chang truly opened my eyes!"

"Amitabha Buddha, I never expected that the donor would be a demon cultivator. Today, this monk has no choice but to slay demons and vanquish evil!"

"Hmph, I told you so, I didn't lie to you!"

As the smoke cleared, more figures emerged in the candlelight. It was Zhang Liyang and his companions.

At Xiao Xiao's insistence, Zhang Liyang and the others secretly returned to Jinyu Guan. This is when they discovered Qingshi Dao Ren's secret.

"This is where you run to!" Xiao Xiao stared at the frightened Qing Shi Dao Ren, gritting her teeth. The injuries that had recovered on her body seemed to throb with pain.

But Zhang Liyang's gaze went past Qing Shi Dao Ren, looking at the figure sitting on the chair, his face filled with astonishment and wonder.It has been half a month since the message arrived, during which time Zhang Liyang's three hundred blood pills had been consumed by him like candy.
