The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

The stars seemed to be aware of the approaching danger and hid secretly behind the clouds.

The dangerous atmosphere became stronger, and Jiang Yan frowned, not knowing what to do!

"Stupid, where's your special ability? Is it just for show?"

"I..." Yin Jiu's words confused Jiang Yan.

"Using my supernatural powers to grow vines, they cover every place where people live."

Ming Qi's words finally made Jiang Yan suddenly enlightened, and she quickly used her supernatural powers.

Long vines crossed the dark night and danced in the air. In a moment, with the help of Ming Qi and Yin Jiu, the entire valley was covered with lush vines.

...

General Ye opened his eyes the moment the vines grew wildly. He first watched the vines passing through the roof of his house, and felt that these vines had no ill intentions. He felt very comfortable when he approached them, and seemed to have a sense of familiarity.

The old general did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly woke up his family and had them hide in the area where the vines were densest.

The old general also told his family, "Lie down on the ground, don't look up, and don't get up."

The whole family followed the old general's lead. Even Changsheng knew to listen to his great-grandfather and lie down obediently between his parents.

Jiang Yan hid among the green vines, with a few leaves on her head and only a pair of eyes exposed. She just wanted to see who was this powerful person who could create such an aura that made her feel murderous and deathly even from a distance.

Seeing Jiang Yan's serious expression, Yin Jiu sneered, "It's nothing, just a bluff."

"This guy is not just bluffing, he must be really capable."

"You can't empower others and destroy your own prestige."

“It’s not that difficult to admit that others are better than you.”

"If the two of you fight, you might not lose."

"It's a sure win, isn't it?"

"Can I really win?"

"Ah."

Ming Qi's approval gave Jiang Yan a great deal of confidence. She waited for the man to come over, then she would crawl out from under the vines and confront him head-on.

Ouch! Why does it feel like a final battle atop the Forbidden City?!

Jiang Yan thought about it and decided that her current outfit was not suitable, she had to dress it up a bit.

But thinking that she didn't have any particularly eye-catching clothes, she had to give up.

The dark clouds in the sky seemed to be heavier, even the moon was hiding inside them.

Jiang Yan muttered to herself, "Could it be an old monster that's coming? Otherwise, why would it cause such a huge change of color?"

Jiang Yan was lost in thought when she saw a dark figure approaching from the south. She also seemed to hear a sound that made her scalp tingle.

As the black shadow gradually approached, Jiang Yan almost blurted out the Chinese quintessence.

"What is that?" This time Jiang Yan didn't dare to say a word at all, and communicated with Ming Qi and the others attentively.

"That's what you saw."

"Bats? Are there bats that big?"

"Didn't you see it?"

"I..." Jiang Yan wanted to curse the national quintessence again.

"Is that person in the middle a person? Or something else?"

"It's a human being, but not an ordinary person."

"I can see that." Although there was still some distance between them, she could tell that there was a person in the middle. For no other reason, she saw that the wide robe seemed to be put on a bamboo pole.

As they got closer, Jiang Yan guessed from their attire that this person wasn't from the Great Zhou, or at least not Han Chinese.

Jiang Yan carefully examined the man's attire again, and then looked at the bats flying around him. She had reason to suspect that this man was from Miaojiang.

"Smart." Ming Qi gave a positive answer to Jiang Yan's guess.

"No, there are thousands of miles between us. What is he (she) going to do here?"

"What do you say?"

"It's definitely not to fight the Northern Barbarians, nor is it to help the Great Zhou soldiers defend Black Stone City. So..."

Jiang Yan suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could this person be here to kill the Ye family?"

"It should be a disaster..."

Jiang Yan got goose bumps when she thought of the descriptions of the witches and poisonous insects in Miaojiang in some novels and TV dramas.

"Damn it, those damned ones. The Ye family defended their country, guarding the northwest for generations, sacrificing their lives for its peace. But what did they get? Exile!"

The more Jiang Yan thought about it, the angrier she became. "The Ye family has arrived in Black Stone City, and they haven't forgotten their original aspirations. They're fighting alongside the soldiers of Black Stone City against the Northern Barbarians. It's one thing for them not to have their names on the list of merit, but they're being treated like this. I want to chop the man behind this, and this androgynous, half-human, half-ghost wretch, to pieces."

"Beat him up, I support you."

"Thank you, big brother, little brother."

Ming Qi: It was Yin Jiu who agreed, it has nothing to do with me. But looking at that black thing not far ahead, it is quite an eyesore.

The black thing mentioned by Ming Qi: It has clearly locked onto the target from hundreds of miles away, and no one can escape. How come it is that it cannot be found when it is nearby?

When Jiang Yan saw the dark figure looking around in confusion, she knew that he (she) was looking for the Ye family.

Jiang Yan wanted to take another look, but when she saw the figure's hand trying to open something, she immediately took action.

The dark figure had no idea that before he (she) could even make a move, his hands were bound by long vines. He was unwilling to accept this and tried to break free, but unexpectedly, the vines kept binding him more and more, and they were tied tightly. In the blink of an eye, he was tied like a dumpling.

"Who is it? You're sneaking around. Come out to this elder!" The hoarse voice echoed in the dark night sky, like a ghost locking the soul.

Yin Jiu was displeased when he heard this voice. "It's my duty to capture souls, and it's officially certified. You're a half-human, half-ghost thing that can't tell a head from a butt, and you still want to steal my job? Are you looking for death?"

Jiang Yan didn't expect that Yin Jiu's movements were much faster than hers as soon as she made a move. In the blink of an eye, he took away the man who claimed to be the elder.

"Where did he go?" Jiang Yan asked Ming Qi when there was not a single ghost left.

"So-and-so, fearing his job would be taken away, sent his perceived enemy to the eastern sea."

"Oh my, I missed all this fun, and I'm feeling a bit itchy. But, I hope that guy won't come back, right?"

"You're still acting like a spoiled brat after getting something for nothing. That's exactly what you're like now."

"Haha~" Jiang Yan gave an awkward laugh, almost as fake as putting a note on her forehead. She finally said, "Thank you, big brother and little brother."

"No need to thank me, I didn't do anything."

"Brother, you don't have to do anything. Just stand here and you'll be our anchor."

Jiang Yan's flattery made Ming Qi feel comfortable both physically and mentally. He showed his shadow and stood in front of Jiang Yan, with his hands behind his back and his chin slightly raised.

"Handsome!" Jiang Yan continued to flatter him.
