Those who become wealthy through officialdom will usually try to get the road closer to their own doorstep if there's any major road construction project.
Su Tiantian didn't understand these intricacies, but she felt that what Bai Meng said made a lot of sense.
"It's really strange. Every household has a small villa now, but his family still lives in an old wooden house. Why doesn't he renovate it into a villa?"
As Bai Meng approached the old Bo family house, she became even more puzzled.
The Bo family's old house was not small to begin with; if it were decades ago, it would have been considered a grand and impressive house.
However, with the rapid development of the times and the fact that this village is a tourist attraction, everyone is building high-rise buildings and big houses, so the Bo family's house seems too old and not up to standard.
But the courtyard was very clean, and the firewood and coal briquettes were neatly stacked.
"Let me go in and take a look. That scoundrel is obsessed with becoming a dragon. This weakness isn't easy to exploit. He's probably already set a trap and is waiting for us to fall in."
Bai Meng is quite cautious; based on her understanding of people, she would never act so easily.
Su Tiantian is still young, and the current situation is special. Bai Meng doesn't want her to be involved in even the slightest danger.
Su Tiantian nodded obediently.
Bai Meng ran lightly into the eaves of the old Bo family house, and soon she screamed to remind Su Tiantian to run.
There's an ambush.
Bai Meng's prediction was correct; the people from Tianmen Mountain had already arrived and were waiting at the Bo family's residence.
Demon-trapping formations were set up all around the Bo family's residence.
Moreover, it is targeted at powerful demons.
This formation is extremely vicious; it will only be triggered after you enter it.
Such an array could potentially damage the soul, which is why Bai Meng reminded Su Tiantian to go back quickly.
Su Tiantian didn't leave immediately. She saw an ordinary-looking man come out with a compass. After looking around, he frowned and muttered, "He really ran fast!"
But that won't have any impact, because they caught one.
An elderly man stepped forward, his face grim: "Didn't you catch any accomplices?"
The old woman was Fu Qingqiu. She was seventy years old, but she was upright and in good spirits, showing no signs of the frailty that comes with old age.
"Don't worry, junior sister. Once we catch this big cat, the rest won't escape. With it around, they won't leave. But once we skin and dismember this big cat, they'll know what they should do and what the consequences will be!"
The man said with a sinister smile.
"Hmph, Lord Black Dragon is about to undergo his tribulation, we must not make any mistakes."
Fu Qingqiu looked into the distance and said, "Once the Black Dragon successfully transcends its tribulation, her son will definitely continue to rise in rank, and he might even become the top leader of the country."
With the recent influx of tourists, those few malicious mice must be hiding very well, but she is in charge of her home, and no one can ruin the achievements she has worked so hard to build.
"Don't worry, junior sister. With us here, nothing will go wrong. Let's go back and catch that big cat first."
The man narrowed his eyes and said.
Once Bai Meng enters the formation, she can't escape, but catching her won't be easy either.
Fu Qingqiu and the man entered the house. Her heart trembled as she looked at the huge tiger in front of her. She addressed the two men in the house, "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, prepare to subdue the demon!"
Bai Meng's eyes were icy cold. She stuck out her barbed tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, letting out a wild growl from her throat. Then she swiftly leaped between the four people.
Fu Qingqiu was a member of the Xuanmen sect, something they hadn't initially anticipated.
They had assumed she was a figure like Jiang Yu, the wife of Shi Jiahu, but it turned out they had been careless.
These people aren't particularly capable, but they're incredibly ruthless.
Bai Meng could sense the strong, sinister aura emanating from the magical artifacts on their bodies.
The four worked together, and Bai Meng was quickly injured, but she was never one to be easily bullied.
So she pretended to have exhausted her spiritual power, lay on the ground panting heavily, and transformed into human form, revealing her aged appearance.
"You, you can't you just leave me alone... I have no grudge against you, I was just passing by..."
Bai Meng's voice was hoarse and aged.
Her human form looked older than Fu Qingqiu, and her breathing was as if she were about to die at any moment.
"It's actually an old demon that's about to die?"
Fu Qingqiu looked at Bai Meng with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
It was a thousand-year-old demon, but it was already very old and didn't have much time left to live.
In addition, he had previously fought a major battle with the Black Dragon Lord's clone.
Originally, the phrase "skinning and pulling out tendons" was just a joke, but now it seems it's about to become a reality.
An old demon that's about to die, even if you trap her, it won't last more than two years. It's more valuable to kill her.
If we try to raise her, she'll die before we can fully nurture her. Besides, at this stage, the old monster has more thoughts than a hair on her head.
We can seize her now, use her to continue our scheme, and then kill her when we finally wipe them all out. The demon's skin, bones, and blood are all money.
Fu Qingqiu gave her three senior brothers a look.
The group exchanged knowing glances, and Fu Qingqiu spoke to Bai Meng: "Tell me, what are you doing working for someone at your age? Surrender now and cooperate with us, and we won't treat you unfairly."
Bai Meng revealed a regretful and sorrowful expression: "Since you are all so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush either. I don't want to work for others, but isn't that because I'm being controlled by them?"
"Look at me, I'm covered in an array! I hate them to death. If you need me, I'm willing to join you, and I look forward to you tearing them to pieces!"
Bai Meng's eyes were filled with resentment, and hatred surged within her.
The appearance of the array on her body, combined with her venomous hatred, surprised Fu Qingqiu and the others for a moment, then they showed expressions of understanding.
Fu Qingqiu threw the rope in his hand towards Bai Meng: "Put this on your feet, and we'll cooperate with you to kill our enemies. As for whether you'll be free afterward, that depends on your own abilities."
Fu Qingqiu's meaning was very straightforward: this thing isn't so easy to untie once it's on; if you can sacrifice one foot, then it's fine too.
But in reality, once the rope is put on, Bai Meng can't escape.
Bai Meng agreed without hesitation: "There's a cliff in front and a cliff behind. I hate them more than you guys. If I can drag them down with me, I won't lose out."
Bai Meng stretched her foot into the rope. As soon as her foot stepped in, the rope tightened violently. The rope, which was originally as thick as a thumb, lost its disguise and became a steel wire thinner than a hair, digging tightly into the bone of Bai Meng's ankle.
Bai Meng roared in pain.
Fu Qingqiu and the others relaxed and approached Bai Meng.
"Tell us, who are the people who came with you, and what sects do they come from?"
Fu Qingqiu walked up to Bai Meng, and her three senior brothers were about to smear something on Bai Meng's body.
Bai Meng gasped for breath and said, "They... are naturally the ones who have come to take your lives..."
At the critical moment, four needle-like hairs flew out from Bai Meng's body and pierced into the bodies of Fu Qingqiu and the other three.
