Chapter 765: Escort

After arriving at the inner hall, Bai Feng ordered people to serve tea and snacks, and then he officially spoke:

"Master Li, if you hadn't helped today, my Bai family would have been in danger."

"I will never forget this kindness."

"I don't know what your wish is, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help."

Li Yang took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Master Bai, you are too kind. Killing demons and monsters is the duty of people like us who practice Taoism."

"But..." He paused and continued, "Since Master Bai is so kind, I have a favor to ask."

Bai Feng hurriedly said: "Master, please tell me."

Li Yang put down the teacup and said seriously: "I wonder if Master Bai can tell me the reason for the Nine Dragon Jade mentioned by Lan Qing just now?"

Hearing this question, Bai Feng's expression became obviously solemn.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "This Nine Dragon Jade is an ancestral item of my Bai family. It is said to have the ability to suppress evil spirits."

"It was safe and sound, but recently there have been frequent strange phenomena."

"There are gusts of cold wind in the house from time to time, and strange noises are often heard in the middle of the night."

"My daughter is often troubled by nightmares, and there are always demons in her dreams."

"That's why I have to send out invitations to heroes, hoping to ask for help from experts."

Li Yang nodded thoughtfully: "I see. Then, I wonder where this Nine Dragon Jade is now?"

Bai Feng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "To be honest, for safety reasons, I have hidden the Nine Dragon Jade in a secret place."

"It's just..." He hesitated.

Li Yang smiled slightly: "Master Bai, don't worry. If it's inconvenient to say, don't force it."

Bai Feng's expression eased a little after hearing this: "Master Li is indeed reasonable. It's just that this Nine Dragon Jade is of great importance, so I have to be more careful."

"However, since Master Li is interested, I can ask you to help me."

"Oh?" Li Yang raised his eyebrows, "I wonder what Master Bai is planning?"

Bai Feng said seriously: "I plan to temporarily transfer the Nine Dragon Jade to a safer place."

"I'm just worried that there will be accidents on the way, so I want to ask Master Li to escort..."

"Of course, the reward is definitely not a problem. I will give you the thank you gift for eliminating the monster this time and the reward for escorting later!"

"I wonder if you can agree?"

Hearing this, the brothers who had just recovered from the poisoning state were all dumbfounded.

Originally, they wanted to come here to enforce justice, expose the lies of those fake Taoist priests and fake monks, and pretend to be awesome and make a fortune.

As a result... how come even they became Li Yang's foil?

And the thing Li Yang showed...

What exactly is that?

Is that evil thing also one of the spells taught by the master?

Li Yang thought for a while, then nodded and grinned:

"Okay, since Lord Bai trusts me so much, Li will do his best."

Bai Feng was overjoyed: "Great! Then please ask Taoist Li to gather at the mansion early tomorrow morning, and we will set off immediately."

Li Yang nodded in agreement.

Just as the two were talking happily, there was a commotion outside.

"My lord, something bad has happened!" A guard ran in in a panic, "That Lan Qing... ran away!"

"What?!" Bai Feng stood up, "What happened?"

The guard answered tremblingly: "I don't know what happened."

"He was chained tightly and someone was guarding him. But in the blink of an eye, he disappeared."

Bai Feng's face turned pale when he heard this.

He turned to Li Yang and said apologetically: "Master Li, I'm really sorry, I was negligent."

Li Yang waved his hand: "It's okay, this Lan Qing can control the Earthly Evil, I guess he has some tricks."

"If he escaped, it wouldn't be surprising."

"It's just..." He paused and continued, "Since this person knows the existence of the Nine Dragon Jade, I'm afraid he won't give up easily, Lord Bai needs to be more careful."

Bai Feng nodded solemnly: "Thank you for your reminder, Master Li... I'll make arrangements now! Strengthen vigilance!"

When Li Yang left the Bai Mansion, it was already late at night.

He walked alone on the streets of the capital, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

What happened tonight made him realize that this world is much more complicated than he imagined.

The Poison Dragon Cult, the Nine Dragon Jade, the Earthly Evil...

These are things he had never come into contact with in Taiqing Temple. I wonder if they have anything to do with the madness of [Original Chaos].

"Origin, do you have any ideas?" Li Yang asked in his heart.

[Origin] was silent for a moment, and replied: "This matter is not simple. I have never seen Lan Qing's performance. Maybe this guy has mastered some kind of power beyond common sense..."

"And the Nine Dragon Jade can suppress evil spirits, I am afraid it is not an ordinary magic weapon."

"Be careful, I don't know what I will encounter on this trip."

Li Yang nodded: "I think so... but this is also an opportunity."

"I know a lot of things, and I have only tried out a little bit this time."

[Origin] reminded: "You should pay attention. Although you can use the "Taiyuan Xuanzhang" now, you are far from mastering it... When you encounter a strong enemy, it is better not to act rashly..."

When I returned to the temple, it was as expected.

Daoist Master Wang had been waiting at the gate of the temple for a long time.

Since he could deduce the way of heaven, he had expected the actions of Li Yang and others.

But he was not angry when he saw the figures of the people coming back.

He just sighed helplessly and looked at Li Yang slowly:

"Since you have been involved in cause and effect, don't think about getting away easily."

"This trip is extremely dangerous. I am afraid no one can return except you..."

"I promised your parents that I would raise you and help you achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven."

"But now, you have chosen your own path."

"Since that's the case, it's hard to defy the will of heaven, so go ahead."

"If there is any trouble in the future, you may send someone to report it."

"Moreover, I can't help you..."

...

The next morning, Li Yang arrived at the Bai Mansion on time.

Bai Feng was already waiting at the door, and the girl of the same age as Li Yang was standing beside him.

There is no doubt that this is the young lady of the Bai family who was poisoned last night.

"Master Li, you are here." Bai Feng came forward with a smile, "This is my daughter Bai Ling. Thanks to you for saving me last night."

Bai Ling bowed to Li Yang: "Thank you for saving my life."

Li Yang returned the greeting: "Miss, you are too polite. It's just a small favor."

After Bai Feng finished the introduction, he began to arrange the itinerary:

"This time we are going to transfer the Nine Dragon Jade to a hidden mountain villa outside the city..."

"The journey is not far, but for safety reasons, we will disguise ourselves as ordinary caravans and take the main road."

"Master Li, please bear with it a little and pretend to be my follower."

"If we are caught by the soldiers, we will have an excuse."

Li Yang nodded in agreement.

After a while, the group finished dressing up, accompanied by the appearance of a caravan, and left the capital in a mighty manner.
