In the dimly lit room, two rows of armor stood on either side, gleaming faintly in the orange light.

With a brush in his right hand and a tray of cinnabar paint in his left, Xiaoyao was carefully drawing talismans on a suit of armor.

He accepted this mission in order to deal with the Miao region.

However, the number of armors that needed to be drawn was enormous, a full 20,000. Although he spent most of his time drawing them, it still took a considerable amount of time.

As he was drawing, the Buddhist beads around Xiaoyao's neck suddenly lit up, as if he had sensed something.

"not good!"

His gaze darkened, he put down his brush, and swiftly dashed towards the door.

······

Inside the room, Ying Liu was dumbfounded.

Evil spirits kept attacking from the black hole, trying to take over his body, but the little guy grabbed the candied hawthorn and waved it around a few times, knocking the evil spirits away and dissipating.

He rubbed his eyes, trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

After all, a baby holding a candied hawthorn can ward off evil spirits.

Is this reasonable?

He wouldn't even dare to think that way, not even in his wildest dreams.

After banishing all the little evil spirits, the little guy turned to look at him and said, "I'll help you get rid of them, and then we'll go celebrate Aunt Liang's birthday!"

Ying Liu was taken aback, but then his face darkened, and he said in a low voice, "You can't do it."

Although the little guy is a bit special, his experience is not just as simple as being haunted by this little evil spirit.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two evil spirits seized the opportunity and suddenly lunged at the little guy, baring their fangs and claws.

Ying Liu looked up, his expression panicking, "Be careful!"

Just as the evil spirit was about to catch the little guy, a hunched figure suddenly appeared.

Xiaoyao's gaze was calm as he chanted Buddhist scriptures, and a faint Buddhist light spread around him, blocking the attacking evil spirit.

As the Buddha's light grew stronger, the evil spirits were driven away.

Xiaoyao frowned. "Why is the young master here?"

Ying Liu was here; he knew it.

This room was custom-made for Ying Liu to protect him.

But how did a baby end up here?

Ying Liu frowned. "This is complicated."

No sooner had he finished speaking than several more evil spirits rushed over, only to be instantly driven away by Xiaoyao.

The little guy leisurely licked his candied hawthorn, exclaiming, "Awesome!"

Despite the little guy's praise, Xiaoyao couldn't feel happy.

He knew very well how much Ying Zheng loved the little guy, and now the situation was critical; if anything happened to the little guy, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"call out!"

Just then, a fierce gust of cold wind swept in and extinguished the candlestick.

The room suddenly became dark.

"Stop running, you can't escape!"

A hoarse, eerie voice rang out.

Ying Liu froze, his eyes filled with boundless fear. "He's here! He's here!"

Xiaoyao's expression also became tense, his gaze fixed on the doorway, his prayer beads spinning incessantly in his hand.

If it were just those minor evil spirits, he could have easily dealt with them, and Ying Liu wouldn't have had to suffer this imprisonment.

However, Ying Liu was born in an extremely Yin year, month, day, and hour, surrounded by Yin energy from birth, which reached its peak at the age of nine.

Such beings are rare and precious tonics for evil spirits, and among them, there is one that is extremely terrifying.

The Black Mountain Demon, who has cultivated for hundreds of years.

It was because of that existence that Ying Liu could only hide in this room, not daring to let his aura escape.

This time, the Black Mountain Demon still came.

Xiaoyao turned his head and said, "Protect the young master well!"

Ying Liu had already hidden under the table, while the little guy sat on the table, happily licking a candied hawthorn.

Xiaoyao was immediately enraged, "Sixth Young Master, what are you doing?! How can you hide away and ignore the young master?!"

"Hurry up and come out! Take the young master away too!"

Hearing Xiaoyao's angry rebuke, Ying Liu forced himself to climb out of the table and stretched out his trembling hand to pull the little guy in as well.

He felt incredibly wronged.

I'm the one who needs protection the most!

Although he is small, he is capable of vanquishing evil spirits with candied hawthorns!

His movements were slightly slow due to fear.

The little guy dodged it easily.

Seeing this, Ying Liu was stunned, and then silently hid back under the table.

"Found it!"

The mournful sound rang out again, and from within the darkness, a jet-black claw reached out and grabbed straight for the bottom of the table.

Xiaoyao's gaze darkened, and he grabbed the Buddhist beads and tossed them into the air.

The prayer beads flew away, shining brightly in the air, and struck the sharp claws.

The surging Buddhist light forced the sharp claws back.

But this powerful blow almost completely exhausted the Buddhist light of the prayer beads, which then fell back into Xiaoyao's hands.

Although the attack was powerful, it did not cause much damage to the claws.

Soon, the claws pounced again, this time with even stronger Yin energy and greater power than before.

Xiaoyao frowned and began chanting Buddhist scriptures. Buddhist light emanated from his body, forming a Buddhist wall in front of him.

The sharp claws pounced on the Buddha wall, unable to advance for the time being, but showing no intention of stopping.

A powerful force, like a vast ocean, suddenly squeezed against the Buddha wall, while the Yin energy on the claws continuously overflowed and pounded against the Buddha wall.

Under the pressure of that powerful, dark force, cracks began to appear on the Buddha wall.

Xiaoyao's expression was solemn, and Buddhist light continuously surged from his body as he tried to resist that power, but he was powerless to change the situation.

The next instant, the Buddha statue shattered.

The sharp claws swooped down, slamming towards Xiaoyao.

With a flash, Xiaoyao slammed his claws into the ground, the violent force instantly cracking the earth.
