The face of the old Taoist was so sinister that it seemed like water could drip from it. There was indeed something buried under the temple which he had brought back from the Qi Lian Mountains. The kid had figured everything out and seemed to want to steal his treasure.

His eyes burned with anger. If he could, he really wanted to kill this stinky kid.

But now he was restrained by Shen Ye and had no ability to fight back, which made him even more furious.

Shen Ye ignored his ferocious face and smiled slightly, “I was planning to go to Lishan Village anyway. It seems that I have to go now.”

“You dare, you little animal!” The old Taoist was furious.

When he heard the words “little animal”, Ye Ze’s expression cooled down.

Zong Yiming had been following Ye Ze for many years and knew that Ye Ze was angry. He didn’t need Ye Ze’s order and went forward to break the old Taoist’s chin. The old Taoist was already restrained by Shen Ye and couldn’t fight back. When his chin was broken, his face immediately twisted in pain.

Shen Ye was slightly stunned.

He was also unhappy about being called a little animal. Originally, he planned to teach the old Taoist a lesson himself but he didn’t expect Zong Yiming to be faster than him.

Zong Yiming must have acted on Ye Ze’s orders.

This feeling of being valued was not bad.

Shen Ye smiled and quietly grabbed Ye Ze’s hand.

Ye Ze held his hand back and whispered, “Let’s go. The car is ready.”

Shen Ye nodded.

He placed a talisman paper on the old Taoist’s body, and the old Taoist could only follow him like a walking corpse.

At this time, Secretary Wang had already sobered up and stepped forward to stop them. “You can’t leave!”

If the old Taoist was taken away, the whole thing would be exposed and everyone involved would be finished. Even if he knew that Shen Ye was powerful, Secretary Wang did not intend to let Shen Ye and his group leave the county committee building!

Shen Ye sneered.

The entire county leaders could not protect themselves and Secretary Wang still wanted to protect the old Taoist?

But it could also be understood that these people were like a bunch of fleas on a rope. If one was exposed, a long string would be implicated, so they had to be protected.

Coincidentally, the office director had called the police station personnel and Secretary Wang ordered them, “Arrest them!”

Without saying a word, those people rushed up to attack.

Shen Ye blocked Ye Ze behind him and waved a talisman paper.

The next second, all those people were knocked down and couldn’t get up again.

This method was too powerful and the scene was too strange. The staff who were watching were all stunned.

You should know that the police station personnel were all strong men, but they were knocked down by Shen Ye, such a delicate young man, before they even started. What kind of magical technique did this young man use?

Even Shen Shimu was surprised. He only knew that Shen Ye was good at fortune-telling, but he didn’t expect him to be so good at fighting. It was a complete crushing victory!

Shen Ye remained calm and turned his head to look at Ye Ze.

When it came to local officials, Shen Ye had no intention of getting involved. Ye Ze had called the military district leader this time, so he must have been looking for someone to handle this matter.

Ye Ze was still immersed in surprise at being blocked by the child.

Apart from being protected by his grandfather and parents when he was young, as he grew up, he always appeared in front of others as a protector. Especially in the past ten years, as the one in charge of the Ye family, he had protected his grandfather and cousin properly, and outsiders respected and feared him even more.

…This was the first time he had been treated like this since he grew up.

And the person who protected him was his little fiancé.

Ye Ze’s eyes gradually became gloomy.

Receiving Shen Ye’s gaze, Ye Ze looked deeply at him before turning to the military district leader and saying, “I’ll leave this matter to you.”

As he spoke, he tightly held onto Shen Ye’s hand.

Shen Ye felt the man’s emotional changes but didn’t know what was wrong. He looked at him suspiciously.

Ye Ze touched his face and whispered, “It’s nothing.”

He would keep the feeling of being moved in his heart. He would treat the child even better.

Hmm… the child likes cheesy love words, and he can learn too…

The military district leader replied, “No problem.”

With one phone call, relevant department personnel arrived quickly, and then Secretary Wang and other participants from the county were taken away.

Since they no longer needed to deal with the county leaders, Shen Ye and the others set off for Lishan Village.

They were riding in a minibus driven by the driver from his own home. It’s said that driving a familiar car is safer.

When Shen Ye saw the car, he felt even more sorry for Ye Ze.

Ye Ze held his hand and whispered softly in his ear, “It’s okay, don’t complain.”

Shen Ye pouted his lips.

Ye Ze said, “Just hug me.”

Shen Ye: “!!!”

Who transmigrated into his husband’s body? Who?!

Ye Ze was also a little confused, why didn’t the child react?

He had searched the internet for the latest cheesy pick-up lines.

After a while, Shen Ye finally came back to his senses and exclaimed, pinching the man’s face, “Uncle, why are you so sweet?!”

Because he likes cheesy pick-up lines, he learned to say them to him… Ye – Sweet – Ze has been proven!

Ye Ze held his mischievous hand in his palm and didn’t say anything, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.

Shen Ye looked at the man’s handsome face and couldn’t help but lean over and pecked him.

Sitting in the back seat, Shen Shimu was suddenly filled with dog food.

He and Zong Yiming were sitting in the same row. Shen Shimu murmured quietly in Zong Yiming’s ear, “Too sticky, too sticky!”

Zong Yiming smiled at him, “If you want, I can also accompany you in being sticky.”

Shen Shimu: “…” Get lost!

From the county town to the village on the hill, the road was a national highway and somewhat dilapidated but still relatively flat. However, from the village to Lishan Village, the road completely changed its style. The road was all mud because it rained yesterday, so the road was muddy and unbearable. From the middle of the mountain, the road became narrower and narrower, and eventually, there was only a narrow lane with a small platform for passing every half a kilometer. On the left was a steep cliff. Although trees were planted on the cliff, it was still very dangerous. If one was not careful, they could fall off.

The driver drove very slowly, firstly to ensure safety, and secondly to pay attention to whether there were oncoming cars ahead.

Shen Shimu was dizzy from the shaking, holding onto the armrest tightly, inevitably feeling a little frightened. He had been to some tourist areas where the roads were also bumpy, but they were all well-repaired cement roads, even asphalt or macadam roads. Where had he seen such a small mountain road?

When Shen Shimu was trembling with fear, Shen Ye calmly rolled down the window and pasted several talismans on the tires.

The car immediately stabilized and there was no more shaking or even bumps thereafter.

Shen Shimu was stunned!

What kind of divine technique is this?!

Even though he already knew about Shen Ye’s skills and had heard about them from Fu Guanglin, he was still amazed.

Shen Ye laughed, “It’s just some minor tricks.”

This matter is not worth mentioning at all. His attention was focused on the old Taoist. He took the opportunity to interrogate him.

After returning from Qi Lian Mountain, the old Taoist and his fellow apprentices each went into hiding. After all, they were not good people and were afraid of each other’s treachery. The old Taoist had come to Lianjiang County ten years ago and discovered that Lishan Village was a Feng Shui treasure.

The mountain range where Lishan Village is located has the same range as Qi Lian Mountain, with abundant spiritual energy and the most suitable for cultivation. So the old Taoist settled in Lishan Village.

After that, the old Taoist found several county leaders to cooperate with because he did have some skills. All those leaders were promoted to higher positions by him and some even became high-ranking officials in the provincial capital. As a result, he gained more and more trust from the leaders and became less and less concerned about his actions.

The temple had been preparing since ten years ago, and two years ago he had gathered enough Yin Qi and started construction.

But just as the big event was about to be completed, he encountered Shen Ye!

The old Taoist was so angry that his teeth itched.

Shen Ye, on the other hand, was lost in thought.

Whether it was the previous Old Daoist or the current Old Taoist, they both needed a lot of Yin Qi assistance.

It seems that the secret book they got from Qi Lian Mountain is mostly black magic.

Fortunately, the old Taoist’s techniques were a bit milder because the rural areas are all earth burial, and the Yin Qi is abundant, so the old Taoist caused less harm to people.

However, several leaders in the county were greedy and impoverished the people of Lianjiang County, who could have lived better lives. Moreover, those leaders had many lives in their hands. Like Lin Zhi’s father, he was almost silenced for exposing corruption. There were also some righteous officials like Lin Zhi’s father who were killed.

The reason why the county leaders were so unscrupulous was because the old Taoist was backing them up.

Therefore, in summary, the old Taoist’s sins were equally great.

Shen Ye had no intention of keeping the old Taoist alive.

The affairs of the Daoist sect should be handled by the sect. He now felt that he was sent by heaven to punish these evil cultivators.

Two hours later, the car arrived in Lishan Village.

Lishan Village is not large and all the residents’ houses are built on a large plateau. Some land has been cultivated around the plateau for growing wheat and vegetables.

The group got out of the car.

Shen Shimu was stunned by the scenery in front of him and murmured, “No wonder they want to build a scenic area here.”

The view from the mountaintop was simply breathtaking. As noon approached, the mist began to rise from the mountain and half of the peak was shrouded in white clouds and reddish sunlight, making it look like a fairyland. Moreover, this place was undeveloped and surrounded by tranquility. The only sounds were the chirping of birds echoing through the valley, giving people a sense of ethereal and grandeur.

Shen Shimu gazed into the distance and exclaimed once again, “This place is really suitable for cultivation.”

Zong Yiming glanced at him and warned, “The railing is not very stable. Be careful not to fall.”

The villagers had installed an iron railing at the edge of the cliff for safety.

However, the railing was covered in rust and looked unstable, as if it had been there for years.

Below was a steep cliff. If someone were to fall, only Shen Ye would be able to save them.

Shen Shimu said, “Get out of my way!”

Why did Zong Yiming always have to be so nitpicky?

He was expressing his feelings and his desire to cultivate, so why did Zong Yiming have to remind him that he might fall?

After Ye Ze and Shen Ye got out of the car, they also stood by the railing and admired the scenery.

Shen Ye commented, “It’s okay.”

Ye Ze glanced at him.

When Ye Ze’s parents were alive, they traveled to many places, including many famous mountains in China. He didn’t think the scenery in Lishan Village was any worse than those famous mountains.

But in Shen Ye’s eyes, it was just “okay.”

This could only mean that Shen Ye had seen even better and more beautiful mountains.

Where were those better and more beautiful mountains?

Were they the places where Shen Ye had cultivated before?

Ye Ze had researched it, but Shen Ye had never left Haicheng for an extended period of time.

Ye Ze’s eyes were deep and contemplative, but he didn’t ask.

Before, he only thought that having the child by his side was enough. But after coming to Lishan Village, perhaps because it really resembled a place of cultivation, he began to ponder more.

Shen Ye didn’t notice Ye Ze’s emotions and pointed to a small path not far away, saying, “The temple is over there.”

This path was hidden in dense forests and could only allow one person to pass through. After about ten minutes of walking, they arrived at another small clearing. There was a Bagua diagram drawn on the ground and formations arranged around it.

“Is this the place?” 

Shen Ye pointed to the center of the Bagua diagram and asked the old Taoist, “The thing is buried here, right?”

The old Taoist had red eyes and looked as if he wanted to devour Shen Ye alive.

Shen Ye smiled, “Looks like we’ve found the right place.”

He cast a spell on the old Taoist’s forehead to prevent him from causing any trouble and then walked toward the Bagua diagram.

However, as soon as he took a step, Ye Ze grabbed his wrist.

Shen Ye turned back.

“Be careful.” Ye Ze pursed his lips and whispered.

Shen Ye smiled and kissed the man’s face, “Don’t worry, there’s no danger.”

Although the Bagua diagram gathered countless Yin energy, the spiritual energy in Lishan Village was abundant and balanced with the Yin energy, so it didn’t pose much harm to the human body, let alone to Shen Ye.

Ye Ze slowly let go of his hand.

Shen Ye felt that the man’s emotions were a bit off and seemed to be particularly worried about him.

“I’m really okay.” Shen Ye didn’t leave immediately, but instead hugged Ye Ze’s neck with both hands, kissed his lips, and reassured him in a low voice.

Ye Ze’s lips curled up slightly and he kissed him back, “Hmm, go ahead.”

Seeing the man return to his usual calm expression, Shen Ye finally felt relieved and walked towards the Bagua diagram.

He broke all the formations around the Bagua diagram with his spells and soon stood in the center of the diagram.

Feeling a spiritual energy coming from the soles of his feet, Shen Ye murmured, “Looks like it’s a treasure.”

Since it was obtained from the water pool in the Qi Lian Mountains, it was probably of the same nature as the Peachwood Jade brush.

Shen Ye took two steps back and used talismans to break open the ground. The thing underground was revealed, and it was a wooden box. Shen Ye picked up the wooden box and opened it directly.

As the thing was taken away by Shen Ye, the old Taoist behind him was about to pop his eyes out.

Unfortunately, he was no match for Shen Ye and couldn’t even shout, let alone fight with him.

Shen Ye looked down at the wooden box and saw red cinnabar inside.

Peachwood brush, cinnabar, perfect for drawing talismans.

Shen Ye was very satisfied.

However, the color of cinnabar is somewhat strange, not the common bright red, but a dark red that looks more like coagulated blood.

Shen Yewei frowned slightly and found that after the cinnabar came into contact with the air, its color became deeper and the spiritual energy became more abundant!

Is this really cinnabar?

Shen Ye reached out his index finger and lightly tapped the cinnabar.

The next second, his index finger was wrapped in something warm that made Shen Ye feel comfortable.

Therefore, Shen Ye was not panicked.

But this was definitely not cinnabar, then…what is it?

Shen Ye held the box and stood still, thinking.

Then, he actually saw the cinnabar turn into a dark red puddle and a golden dragon was swimming in the water!

Could it be…dragon blood?!

Shen Ye was stunned.

The child stood there for a long time without moving, and Ye Ze didn’t know what had happened.

Ye Ze frowned tightly and walked towards Shen Ye without hesitation.

Shen Ye sensed Ye Ze’s breath, then came back to his senses, and then smiled at Ye Ze.

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

Because he found that the breath that had just wrapped around his finger was very similar to the purple aura on Ye Ze’s body.

No wonder he didn’t reject it just now, but instead felt comfortable!

Purple aura represents the true dragon emperor, right?

If this box of cinnabar is dragon blood…

Then, is his man a true dragon?

Shen Ye was stunned again.
