I use the fox fairy to suppress all ghosts

We've already reached our limit in terms of speed, and we can't rush the setup of the magic array. If we're even slightly careless, everything we've done so far will be for nothing.

Even so, it took the three of us almost half an hour to completely open a passage in this magic circle.

After we emerged from the layers of mist, we saw the mountain gate of Qianyuan Temple in front of us.

It looked perfectly quiet, as if nothing had happened.

After passing through the magic circle, I immediately gave Yuan Kong an invisibility talisman, and we both activated it at the same time.

At the same time, I called out to the disheveled Taoist priest: "Old Luo, go and call the person in. Yuan Kong and I will go in and see what's going on. Be sure to come in quietly, without making a big fuss, so as not to alert them."

"You two be careful. I'll go get help. Don't make any rash moves unless we come," the disheveled Taoist priest called out, then turned and walked into the magic array.

After activating the invisibility talisman, Yuan Kong and I began to walk towards the Qian Yuan Temple.

Ahead was a long staircase. Yuan Kong and I walked quickly and arrived at the main gate of Qian Yuan Temple.

Qianyuan Temple is built against the mountain. Yuankong and I passed through the archway and arrived at the first main hall, Lingguan Hall, which enshrines the guardian deity Wang Lingguan. Next is the Sanqing Hall, which enshrines the Three Pure Ones.

We didn't see anything unusual along the way.

However, Yuan Kong, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Brother Wu, I can sense that Qian Yuan Temple is also protected by a magic array, but it seems that the magic array has been broken now."

If Yuankong hadn't reminded me, I really wouldn't have noticed. I was just too anxious. I didn't care about other people's lives or deaths, but I was concerned about Uncle Tang's son, Tang Ziyuan. If anything happened to him, Uncle Tang would be devastated. I felt that Uncle Tang took care of me more than he took care of his son.

I don't want to see Tang Shangning heartbroken.

After passing through several main halls and climbing many steps, the Ancestral Master Hall was just ahead.

This main hall is the last barrier for Qianyuan Temple.

When I arrived here, I felt a strong killing intent permeating the area, and I also sensed that there were many experts here.

“Yuan Kong, there are definitely people in the Ancestral Hall ahead. The people from the First Gate Dao should be over there. We need to be careful,” I whispered.

Yuan Kong nodded, and the two of us quickened our pace, going around the corridor on one side of the Ancestral Hall. I quietly climbed up the courtyard wall and called to Yuan Kong to go to the roof of the Ancestral Hall to take a look. From the roof, we had a clear view of the surrounding environment.

Before long, we climbed to the top of the Ancestral Hall and found a secluded spot to hide.

At this moment, I sensed that there was also a magic array set up at the location of the Ancestral Hall, but it had already been broken.

The entire Qian Yuan Temple is connected by many small magic arrays, which can also form layers of obstacles for those who are on the first pass, thus delaying their time.

However, these magic arrays are nothing to the people of Yiguandao.

Once we reached the rooftop, we looked down and saw a large square in front of the Ancestral Hall, filled with a dense, dark mass of people.

Most of those people were dressed in black with white lotus patterns on their clothes, clearly indicating they were from the Guandao sect.

I recognized the group of people in the lead. There was Elder Qinglong and Elder Baihu, and my old acquaintance Liu Hao was with them.

Beside the three of them were a dozen or so sword slaves, and behind them were more than a hundred experts from the First Pass Dao.

On the opposite side of the pass were more than thirty experts from the special investigation team. Some of them were wearing Taoist robes, and some were wearing white Zhongshan suits. They were probably teachers from the Taoist Academy.

Behind these thirty-odd people were more than fifty female Taoist priests. These were the true masters of Qianyuan Temple, which was originally a female Taoist temple with a majority of female Taoist priests.

I didn't see any of my students; they must all be hiding inside the Ancestral Hall.

Elder White Tiger, carrying a large sword on his shoulder, took a few steps forward and said angrily, "Hand over all your students, and I'll leave you with a complete corpse!"

"Don't even think about it! If you want to touch our students, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first!" A man in a white Zhongshan suit stepped forward and said angrily.

"You think I wouldn't dare?" Elder White Tiger sneered.

“Teacher Qin, things have come to this point, I think there’s no point in you struggling anymore. Why not seek refuge with Yi Guan Dao and you might save your lives?” Liu Hao also took a few steps forward and looked at the man in the white Zhongshan suit.

The man in the white Zhongshan suit quickly fixed his gaze on Liu Hao, trembling with rage: "Liu Hao, you were also taught by me, how could you do such a treacherous thing as betraying your master and ancestors? You deserve to die a horrible death!"

"Liu Hao, it's not too late for you to repent. Turn back now," an old female Taoist priest said to Liu Hao.

"Teacher Wang, you taught me how to use hidden weapons. I remember your kindness. As long as you join Yiguandao, I guarantee you will not only survive, but also hold an important position in Yiguandao." Liu Hao looked at the female Taoist priest.

Seeing this scene, I was so angry I could have punched the nail on the head. My old man is always ripping me off, and I've thought about betraying my master and ancestors, but that's just a thought. Liu Hao, on the other hand, really dares to do it.

It's utterly absurd that he could lead a group of people from Guandao to kill his teacher who had imparted all his skills to him.

At that moment, I sensed an aura emanating from Yuan Kong beside me, and there was even a hint of killing intent in it.

"Yuankong, don't get excited. Let's wait for someone. There are too many experts in this area, and there might be even more powerful ones hiding here. Going out would just be suicide." I whispered to Yuankong.

“Brother Wu, I’m fine. I was just thinking about my master,” Yuan Kong replied softly.

Fortunately, Yuan Kong was still quite rational.

The current situation is much better than I expected. I thought that when I came in, this place would already be a scene of bloodshed, but I didn't expect that they haven't started to make a move yet. This is also because the Qian Yuan Temple has layers of magic formations that have held them back for a while.

"Stop talking nonsense, kill them all! Leave no one alive!" Elder White Tiger roared, and was about to lead his men to charge forward.

Just then, the doors of the Ancestral Hall were suddenly pushed open, and a young man rushed out: "Wait a minute..."

At this shout, Elder White Tiger was startled, and everyone around him stopped.

The young man was handsome, looking about seventeen or eighteen years old, and seemed to resemble Tang Shangning by seven or eight points. After walking out of the main hall, he went straight towards the group of people in white Zhongshan suits.

Soon, the boy's gaze fell on Liu Hao: "Brother Hao, I'm Ziyuan. When we were kids in the compound, you used to play with me."

Liu Hao looked at Tang Ziyuan and smiled at him: "Ziyuan, I remember you. Come here, come to your brother..."
