"Hiss... What are these guys doing?" Li Yang frowned slightly and whispered.

Zhang Shouyi shook his head slightly: "Be patient and act according to the situation."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Li Yang thought for a moment, then grinned slightly: "Forget it, it's not necessary."

"What opportunity do you see? Just do it and catch them all in one net."

He simply told Zhang Shouyi his thoughts.

Zhang Shouyi listened, thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do it!"

The two quickly split up.

Zhang Shouyi quietly went around the back of the ancestral hall and began to place talismans and magic tools.

Li Yang swayed towards the door of the ancestral hall.

"Hey! What are you doing in there?" Li Yang shouted deliberately.

The black-robed people in the ancestral hall were startled and turned their heads to look at the door.

"Who is it?" the tall black-robed man shouted.

Li Yang pushed open the door and walked in: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is..."

He suddenly took out the black jade pendant from his arms and held it high.

"Do you know this?"

The black-robed men saw the jade pendant and immediately became agitated.

"That is... the Nine Nether Soul Jade!"

"How did it get into your hands?"

"Quickly grab it!"

Li Yang looked at the reactions of the group of Poison Dragon believers in front of him and sneered in his heart.

"Oh? It seems that you are very interested in this thing..." Li Yang said in a surprised tone, "But it's not that easy for you to get it."

The tall black-robed man, who seemed to be the leader of this group of people, stared at Li Yang coldly: "Boy, you'd better hand over the Nine Nether Soul Jade, otherwise..."

"What else?" Li Yang asked provocatively, "You evil demons, do you still want to show off your power on the territory of Taiqing Temple?"

"Taiqing Temple?" The black-robed leader was stunned for a moment, then grinned, "So you are a Taoist priest from Taiqing Temple, no wonder you are so arrogant."

"But it's just right, if I catch you, I can use you to threaten the old man in Taiqing Temple!"

As he said that, he waved his hand, and the other black-robed man immediately rushed towards Li Yang.

Seeing this, Li Yang quickly stepped back and shouted, "Brother, do it!"

As soon as the words fell, a dazzling light suddenly lit up around the ancestral hall.

The talismans and magic tools that Zhang Shouyi had already prepared were activated one after another, forming a huge formation that enveloped the entire ancestral hall.

The black-robed people were immediately trapped in the formation, looking around in panic.

"Damn it! We've been tricked!" The black-robed leader roared, and then rushed towards Li Yang.

Seeing this, Li Yang raised the black jade pendant in his hand calmly and threw it in front of him.

In an instant, a strong force burst out from the jade pendant, forming a black light column that rushed straight into the sky.

Several mouth flowers grew vigorously from the ground, and under the illumination of the black light, they changed into their original appearance.

With the newly developed ability, they began to open their mouths and attract the surrounding people.

The black-robed people trapped in the formation suddenly felt a palpitation, as if something was pulling at their souls.

"No... what is this..."

"I'm going to be... torn apart..."

The black-robed people howled in pain, and their bodies began to become weak.

Li Yang looked at this scene coldly, without any mercy in his heart.

Evil demons, they deserved their crimes.

Soon, all the black-robed people in the ancestral hall turned into wisps of black smoke and were sucked into the jade pendant.

The whole process lasted only a few minutes, and the ancestral hall returned to peace.

Zhang Shouyi also walked in at this time. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath: "Junior brother, you...you are..."

Li Yang dispersed the plants, put away the jade pendant, and then said lightly:

"Treat others in their own way."

Zhang Shouyi hesitated and finally sighed: "Forget it, since things have come to this, let's save people first."

The two began to check the unconscious villagers on the altar.

Fortunately, these villagers temporarily lost consciousness and did not suffer any substantial injuries.

Li Yang and Zhang Shouyi used the antidote they carried with them to wake them up one by one, and they were fine.

After everyone woke up, Li Yang and Zhang Shouyi sent them back to the village.

The villagers thanked the two Taoist priests for their kindness, and Li Yang and Zhang Shouyi told them to be more careful in the future and to notify Taiqing Temple immediately if they encountered similar situations again.

After dealing with these things, the two returned to Taiqing Temple.

Along the way, Zhang Shouyi hesitated, as if he had something to say.

"Brother, just say whatever you want to ask." Li Yang saw Zhang Shouyi's hesitation and took the initiative to speak.

Zhang Shouyi took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Brother, how did you...how did you learn to use that jade pendant?"

Li Yang was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Oh...that."

"In short, I accidentally got some secrets of the Poison Dragon Sect, and learned some methods of using the Nine Nether Soul Jade."

"Then I tested it a little bit, and it worked like this."

"What?!" Zhang Shouyi was surprised, "Then...where are those secrets now?"

Li Yang smiled: "It has been destroyed. Those things are not normal things. Keeping them will bring disaster."

Zhang Shouyi was relieved after hearing this: "That's good, but..."

놛 paused and continued: "Junior brother, you have to be careful."

"Although this kind of evil magic is powerful, it is also very dangerous to use. If you are not careful, you may hurt yourself."

Li Yang nodded: "I understand, senior brother, don't worry."

The two of them returned to Taiqing Temple while talking.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a Taoist boy running over in a hurry: "Senior Brother Zhang, Junior Brother Li, you are finally back!"

"What happened again?" Zhang Shouyi asked.

The Taoist boy gasped and said, "Just now... A distinguished person came to visit just now and said he wanted to see you, Junior Brother Li."

Li Yang was stunned when he heard this: "Looking for me? Who is it?"

The Taoist boy shook his head: "The nobleman didn't say his identity. He said he was an old friend from the capital. He has important matters to discuss and is waiting in the living room now."

Li Yang and Zhang Shou looked at each other, and both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"Let's go and see who it is." Zhang Shouyi said.

The two of them quickly came to the living room and saw a middle-aged man wearing a luxurious brocade robe sitting there with a serious look on his face.

Seeing Li Yang come in, the man immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "Master Li, you are here."

Li Yang carefully looked at the person in front of him. He always felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"Excuse me, your Excellency..."

The man smiled slightly: "Daozhang Li, you don't need to be polite. I am the Minister of Rites of the current dynasty, and I have come to find you on the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Only then did Li Yang suddenly realize that no wonder he looked familiar. He had seen him in the palace.

"I don't know why the minister came here?" Li Yang asked respectfully.

The face of the Minister of Rites darkened: "It's a very important matter."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell you that something has happened again in the capital!"
