Ye Qi frowned.
He held back; it was impossible for him to seriously injure someone. At most, he would draw some blood on the shoulder. How could someone vomit blood?
Bai Shu slowly stood up from the ground, wiped his mouth, and shook his head as if utterly disappointed.
"I was only focused on exorcising demons and monsters, but I never expected to be treated like this. Since powerful and influential people are forcibly interfering, then I will simply leave this matter alone!"
He was about to leave when he said that.
Even the village chief panicked and quickly stepped forward to pull him away.
"Master Jin Chan, you can't leave! What will happen to our Dapo Village if you leave?"
Bai Shu angrily pointed at Ye Qi and said, "Didn't he say that His Highness the Ninth Prince was coming? Since he is here to oversee the safety of the villagers, he must be bringing along some capable people. I won't bother him here."
As the two were entangled, Bai Shu's hand, hidden in his sleeve, suddenly moved.
The yellow cloth covered with talismans that was covering the Tai Sui rose up without wind, revealing a round piece of red flesh the size of a jar opening, which was floating up and down at a visible slope, which was quite frightening.
Everyone was startled.
Some villagers screamed in fear.
"The Grand Duke Jupiter is about to make its move again."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Bai Shu said, "Noon is almost here, and the power of Tai Sui will surely increase dramatically. Everyone should not linger any longer, lest it go berserk and eat people again."
Seeing this, Village Chief Hao looked at Ye Qi with a dark expression.
“I don’t care whose people you are, this is a matter for our Dapo Village. If you dare to stop us again, we’ll all be killed.”
The villagers had broken through the soldiers' blockade and surrounded them.
"Yes, if you have the guts, kill us all."
"We absolutely must not let Master Jin Chan leave."
Ye Qi frowned. Amidst the commotion, someone suddenly screamed and cried for help.
Everyone looked over.
Suddenly, Li Da's father, who was closest to the creature, had his head bitten by the Tai Sui.
The torch in his hand had fallen to the ground and gone out.
He was dragged across the fire stand, his whole body convulsing, and he was on the verge of death.
"The giant fungus is eating people!"
The villagers were horrified.
Bai Shu stamped his feet, feigning anxiety.
"It's doomed! Its power increases with every person it eats, and it's almost noon now. How can we stop it?"
Li Da's mother cried out for help in a panic.
But no one dared to approach.
Ye Qi shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Save them!"
As he spoke, he held his long sword and was about to slash at the Tai Sui.
But Bai Shu hurriedly tied his whisk around his waist, stopping him.
"Absolutely not. Fighting with swords will only provoke its ferocity and make it devour more people. Only by setting it on fire can it be threatened."
Upon hearing this, Village Chief Hao immediately shouted.
"Ignite it, ignite it quickly!"
Li Da's mother cried and tried to stop her.
"Old man, the old man is still inside."
But two villagers stopped him.
“Li Da’s mother, please accept my condolences. If we don’t light the fire soon, the rest of the villagers will die.”
Several torches were thrown at the fire stand.
The tung oil on the fire stand was instantly ignited.
At the critical moment, a dark shadow flashed by.
The sharp palm strike, accompanied by an extremely cold aura, extinguished all the fire.
Ye Qi was overjoyed.
"Your Highness!"
Upon seeing Mo Yunhan, the county magistrate was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The other officers and soldiers also quickly saluted.
On the contrary, the villagers of Dapo Village were filled with indignation.
They all stood there with their necks stiff, as if they were ready to fight to the death.
Mo Yunhan ignored everyone, holding two talismans in his hand, and quickly applied them to Tai Sui.
The crimson color on the Tai Sui quickly faded, returning it to its normal flesh color.
Li Da's father was also dragged out by him.
Although its face was covered in sticky mucus, it was not dead.
Li Da's mother hugged him and kowtowed to Mo Yunhan.
"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"
Mo Yunhan coldly swept his gaze across the crowd in the courtyard.
"You're setting a fire before the person is even dead? Are you trying to kill him?"
The villagers were also surprised that Mo Yunhan had rescued Li Da, and their previous anger subsided.
Village Chief Hao quickly took the lead in bowing.
Other villagers also knelt down sporadically.
Bai Shu sized up Mo Yunhan with a sinister look in his eyes.
Mu Zhen said that this person had unusual signs.
It was indeed true.
It was surprisingly easy to appease the Tai Sui.
He immediately stepped forward to probe, "Your Highness, do you also know about Tai Sui?"
Mo Yunhan glanced at him indifferently.
Without saying a word, he strode to the door.
Everyone looked over, wondering what he was going to do.
A moment later, a carriage rumbled in and slowly came to a stop at the entrance.
Everyone craned their necks in anticipation, but suddenly a majestic tiger leaped out from behind the curtain, followed by a fiery red fox.
The villagers all gasped in shock.
Bai Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.
He could tell at a glance that they were no ordinary items.
He couldn't help but start thinking about how to kidnap those two beasts.
Suddenly, another gasp came from the crowd.
"So beautiful!"
At this moment, Jiang Qingwan, supported by Mo Yunhan, slowly stepped down from the second carriage.
Her eyes were still sleepy, revealing a touch of alluring languor.
Her waist was as slender as a willow branch swaying in the breeze, and her walk revealed her delicate fragility.
But the fierce tiger and the agile fox obediently led the way for her.
The magistrate snapped out of his daze and quickly bowed again.
"Greetings, Ninth Prince's Consort."
Many of the people in Dapo Village were business travelers to the capital, so they had naturally heard the rumors about the Ninth Prince's Consort in the capital.
They immediately began to whisper among themselves.
