Chapter 771: Exposed in Public

Sure enough, as [Origin] said, there is indeed the aura of ancient divine objects here.

At this moment, conversations came from the main room. Li Yang and Bai Ling hurriedly hid behind the screen and listened carefully.

"Sir, the entire Bai family has been captured, and we are just waiting for you to surrender." A flattering voice said.

"Very good." A deep voice responded, "Where's the one named Bai Feng?"

"My lord, Bai Feng is missing and we are searching the whole city."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. He can't fly without wings, and he will be caught sooner or later." The deep voice sneered, "By the way, have you found that thing?"

"Sir, we searched the entire mansion, but we didn't find the treasure you mentioned."

"Trash!" The deep voice suddenly became furious, "That thing is very important to me and must be found as soon as possible! Keep searching!"

"Yes...yes! I will do it now!" The flattering voice responded hurriedly.

When the footsteps faded away, Li Yang and Bai Ling looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

"It seems that the mastermind behind this is here for a certain treasure." Li Yang whispered.

Bai Ling frowned and thought: "But our Bai family doesn't have any particularly precious treasures...except..."

At this moment, the voice of [Origin] sounded in Li Yang's mind again:

"Li Yang, be careful! That aura is approaching!"

Li Yang's heart trembled. Just when he was about to remind Bai Ling, he suddenly felt a powerful force coming.

"Who?!" a deep voice shouted.

Li Yang didn't have time to think too much, he grabbed Bai Ling's hand and summoned a large wall of twisted nuts around him.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the entire screen instantly turned into powder.

The smoke dispersed, revealing a tall figure wearing a black robe.

The man wore a ferocious mask on his face and exuded a heart-stopping aura.

"Ha, I didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net." The black-robed Taoist sneered, "Now that you're here, don't leave."

As he spoke, he waved his hand suddenly, and a powerful force hit Li Yang and Bai Ling.

Li Yang looked solemn, raised his hand to seal the secret, and activated the power of "Tai Yuan Xuan Zhang" to resist.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, causing a strong wave of air.

The black-robed Taoist seemed a little surprised: "Huh? It's interesting... Just a child can actually do this."

"Boy, who are you?"

Li Yang did not answer, but asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you frame the Bai family?"

The black-robed Taoist sneered: "Ignorant child, these have nothing to do with you."

"If you understand, just hand over that thing obediently, and I will spare your life."

Li Yang's heart was moved, but he still pretended to be puzzled: "What is it?"

There was a hint of urgency in the black-robed Taoist's voice: "Stop pretending! Nine Dragon Jade! I know that you have already obtained that thing!"

Li Yang suddenly realized that, as expected, this black-robed Taoist came for the Nine Dragon Jade.

And it seems that he doesn't know that Nine Dragon Jade has been absorbed by him.

Just as Li Yang was thinking about countermeasures, the black-robed Taoist seemed to lose his patience and launched another attack.

This time, his offensive was even more fierce.

Li Yang felt an overwhelming force coming towards him and had to deal with it with all his strength.

"Boom boom boom!"

I don't know what magic was used, but a series of explosions sounded, causing the entire main house to shake violently.

Bai Ling was so frightened by this shocking scene that he turned pale and hid under the wall of fleshy nuts, holding his head and not daring to say a word.

Li Yang distanced himself slightly, stood on a table, and said condescendingly:

"Since you want that piece of broken jade so much, then as you wish!"

After saying that, Li Yang suddenly stretched out his hand, and a dazzling green light burst out from his palm.

It was the power of the Nine Dragon Jade in his body!

When the black-robed Taoist saw this, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into ecstatic laughter:

"Hahaha! It's indeed in your hands! Hand it over obediently!"

However, the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly.

I saw that green light instantly turned into a huge green dragon shadow, rushing towards him!

"This...how is this possible?!" the black-robed Taoist exclaimed, "You can actually control the power of Nine Dragon Jade?!"

Li Yang did not answer, but instead used all the power in his body.

The green dragon phantom roared and rushed towards the black-robed Taoist, bringing up a gust of wind.

The black-robed Taoist responded hastily and held out a pitch-black shield.

"boom!"

The green dragon hit the shield, making a deafening noise.

The black-robed Taoist was shaken back by this force, and a crack appeared on his mask.

"Damn it!" the black-robed Taoist cursed, "I didn't expect that you still have a lot of time... However, our noise has gone too far, so let's call it a day!"

As he spoke, he suddenly took out a talisman and slapped it on the ground.

"Buzz!"

A burst of dazzling white light flashed by, and when Li Yang opened his eyes again, the black-robed Taoist had disappeared.

Li Yang took a deep breath and turned to look at Bai Ling: "Are you okay?"

Bai Ling shook his head and looked at Li Yang in shock: "Daozhang Li...you...you actually..."

Li Yang smiled bitterly: "It's a long story, but it's more important to leave here first."

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps in the distance.

Apparently the fight just now alerted the patrolling imperial guards.

Li Yang took Bai Ling's hand and ran quickly towards the secret passage: "Let's go, go back and tell your father about the situation here first!"

The two quietly left the Bai family mansion under the cover of night.

After returning to the hiding place, Li Yang told Bai Feng everything he saw and heard in the mansion.

After listening, Bai Feng's face was uncertain: "So that's it... Who is that black-robed Taoist? Why is he so obsessed with the Nine Dragon Jade?"

Li Yang shook his head: "I don't know that either."

"But what is certain is that he is the one who framed the Bai family."

"As long as his true face can be exposed, the grievances of the Bai family should be cleared."

Bai Feng nodded: "That makes sense... But from your description, the black-robed Taoist is very powerful. How should we deal with him?"

Li Yang pondered for a moment and said: "I do have a plan..."

"Since the black-robed Taoist is so obsessed with the Nine Dragon Jade, we might as well use it as bait to lure him into the trap."

"I can pretend to hide the Nine Dragon Jade somewhere, and then spread the news."

"I believe he will be unable to hold back and come to look for it."

"Then, we can set up an ambush and take him down in one fell swoop."

Bai Feng was a little worried when he heard this: "Isn't this a bit too deliberate?"

"The Taoist priest just used the magical power of the Nine Dragon Jade here, but now he is deliberately hiding the dragon jade..."

"That person will probably see that this is a trap at a glance."

Li Yang grinned: "Of course, I'm not afraid that he won't believe it, I'm afraid that he won't come."

"We will hide the Nine Dragon Jade in the imperial city, make a big fuss, and expose his true face in public."
