"Middle-stage Nascent Soul …"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He could see through the old man's cultivation base at a glance.
The gray-robed old man blocked everyone's path and said condescendingly, "Are you from the Mighty Dragon Guard Agency?"
Lu Jianzhang hurriedly went forward and bowed, "Senior, we are indeed from the Mighty Dragon Guard Agency."
He was rather nervous.
"Then I'm relieved."
The gray-robed old man leaped down from the white crane and said with a benevolent expression, "I'm Taoist Priest Bai He. I'm here to escort you guys under Escort Master Yang Yuan's request."
"You're Senior Bai He?" Lu Jianzhang was surprised and delighted. Clearly, he had heard of Taoist Priest Bai He's name.
After Taoist Priest Bai He put away the white crane, he looked at the people in the carriage and said, "Xuan 'er, your Grandpa Bai He is here. Why aren't you coming out to greet me?"
"Grandpa Bai He …"
A lady in snow-white clothes leaped out of the carriage and looked at Taoist Priest Bai He excitedly.
"It's good that you're fine. Before I came out, your father told me to take good care of you."
Taoist Priest Bai stroked his beard and smiled. Only then did he notice Lu Jianzhang's severed right arm. He could not help but ask, "Were you guys ambushed along the way?"
Lu Jianzhang could only tell him everything that had happened.
After hearing that, Taoist Priest Bai He smirked coldly, "So it's that evil cultivator, Chi Mang. A mere Golden Core cultivator dares to plot against you guys. If he's not dead, I'll definitely let him know what it means to extract and refine his soul."
"Grandpa Bai, it's all thanks to the mountain god's presence that we're safe and sound …" The lady called Xuan 'er said with lingering fear.
"The mountain god's presence?"
Taoist Priest Bai He shook his head slightly, "There's no such thing as a mountain god in this world. Looks like a cultivator is secretly helping you guys."
He was also a cultivator, so he naturally knew that there was no such thing as an earth or mountain god in this world. These were just foolish people comforting themselves.
"An immortal master secretly saved us?"
Everyone, including Xuan 'er, was stunned.
Only Lu Jianzhang seemed to have thought of something. He took a good look at Ye Chen as a thoughtful look flashed through his eyes.
"Perhaps it's a cultivator passing by."
Daoist White Crane's words dispelled everyone's doubts, and he said, "Alright, let's go. We're still over five hundred kilometers away from the capital, so we have to speed up."
This time, he had Daoist White Crane's protection. Now that everyone had something to rely on, they immediately sped up and hurried on with Lu Jianzhang riding at the front.
At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly looked forward. A wisp of Divine Consciousness shrouded the area and pierced the horse that Lu Jianzhang was riding.
"Boom!" “
Caught off guard, Lu Jianzhang and his horse fell to the ground.
This sudden scene caused everyone to be shocked.
Almost at that moment, the road in front of them suddenly turned into an incomparably huge black ghost face. It opened its mouth and bit down fiercely.
However, because Ye Chen stopped Lu Jianzhang's speed at the critical moment, everyone managed to escape.
"Eh?"
A surprised voice came from the huge ghost face.
In an instant, Daoist White Crane finally reacted. It took a step forward to stand before everyone and looked directly at the ferocious ghost face, "Who dares to stop us?!!"
As the ghostly face swayed, it suddenly turned into a hunchbacked old man. The old man's face was full of wrinkles, like the bark of a tree.
When it saw the former's face clearly, Daoist White Crane's expression changed drastically, "Old Monster Han Ming!"
"Haha, I didn't expect a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like you to know my name."
Old Monster Han Ming's voice was hoarse, like metal rubbing against each other, causing everyone's hair to stand on end.
The expressions of Lu Jianzhang and the rest changed as well.
Even though they did not know who this Old Monster Han Ming was, they could still guess from Daoist White Crane's expression that he was not a pushover.
Daoist White Crane's expression changed as he said, "Old Monster Han Ming, this Mighty Dragon Escort Agency was tricked by our Five Element Sect. Please give us some face and don't make things difficult for us!"
He knew very well that this Old Monster Han Ming was a mid-stage Soul Formation patriarch. How could a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator like him be a match for him?
"Five Element Sect?"
Old Monster Han Ming smiled disdainfully, "A mere Nascent Soul cultivator like you dares to ask me to give you face? Even your Five Element Sect's patriarch isn't qualified.
"I only have one thing to say. Obediently hand over the Wood Spirit Token, and perhaps I can leave your corpses intact."
Hearing this, Daoist White Crane couldn't help but say, "Old Monster Han Ming, this Wood Spirit Token belongs to the Mighty Dragon Escort Agency, you …"
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
Old Monster Han Ming seemed to have no patience to listen to his nonsense. He waved his hand, and a dark light suddenly whistled out from his sleeve.
If one looked closely, they would find that the cold light was actually a black snake as thick as a baby's arm. As it flicked its tongue, the surrounding space was instantly frozen.
"Not good!"
Looking at the black snake whistling toward him, Daoist White Crane immediately roared and formed a seal with both hands. An energy barrier formed from a protective magic tool immediately appeared on the surface of his body.
"Wa …"
In the next moment, the protective barrier shattered, and his entire body flew out heavily. His expression was extremely shocked.
"A group of mere ants dares to interfere in the battle for the Wood Spirit Token? Die."
Old Monster Han Ming glanced at the crowd and immediately stretched out his hand, which turned into a grey bone claw that slapped toward the crowd.
Seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but feel despair.
At the right time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the crowd and gently pointed at the huge flaming ghost claw.
"Boom!"
The flaming ghost claw instantly shattered.
After seeing the figure's face clearly, Lin Fan was stunned.
Everyone was completely stunned.
Lu Jianzhang was extremely ecstatic, "Brother Ye, no, Senior Ye, it really is you!!!"
