A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!

The thunderclap in the sky wasn't particularly surprising, given that this was deep in the mountains and forests.

But the thunderbolt from the sky struck straight at the old master.

With a loud bang, the blade struck him directly. He had no time to dodge and was hit on the shoulder. A large patch of his clothes was burned, and blood kept seeping from his shoulder. His face turned ashen.

"Dad." After Shen Lianchu fell to the ground, the aftershock of the thunder made her buttocks ache.

He noticed the old master had taken a few steps back, and the thunder continued to rumble. He realized something was wrong; Shi Yanxia had clearly come prepared, and he couldn't delay any longer.

"Shi Yanxia, ​​I originally intended to show you leniency because you were my disciple, but you have treated me so cruelly. It seems I cannot spare your life."

"Then you can die, die along with your four friends!" the old master roared.

He muttered something to himself, and then the trees around him swayed as if they were alive, turning towards Shi Yanxia.

"Yan Yan, what's going on?" Zhang Feng asked upon seeing this.

He immediately moved to Shi Yanxia's side to protect her, and noticed that the trees were swaying constantly.

"These are the ghost soldiers planted using living people. He couldn't actually summon the ghost soldiers of the underworld, so he found so many people and made them willingly sell their lives, planting them alive in the forest."

"Using the forest as cover, this location is advantageous, being the site of a dragon vein. These living dead can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and coupled with the talismans binding them, they will eventually be used by him."

"No wonder he cultivates blood poison in the next village. He grows so many living dead here and uses hidden ditches to drain their blood to the next village. For a long time, no one has been able to detect anything unusual."

“These people have now been transformed into trees, waiting for his summons to awaken. They will then become the undead soldiers he has trained, and each one is positioned differently, presumably specifically to deal with us,” Shi Yanxia said.

His plan seemed perfect.

"Since they are living dead, can't a fire burn them all away?" Zhang Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yubai also came over and said, "Setting the mountain on fire is probably not a good idea. It's windy here, and if the fire gets too big, it might cause unnecessary trouble if it spreads to the surrounding area."

"I'll see if we can contact the young general. His family should have some connections in this area. Maybe we can get some water to bring over and prevent the fire from spreading elsewhere," Zheng Jiao immediately suggested.

Unfortunately, before they could finish their discussion, the old master started muttering something under his breath.

Immediately afterwards, all the trees in the forest began to shake, and then with a "boom," flames shot into the sky from the tops of all the trees. The trees burned very quickly, and within a few seconds, half of them were burned.

These trees kept approaching Shi Yanxia, ​​and no matter which way she went, they all circled around her.

The trees behind them kept moving, forming a wall of trees that forced Bai Nuannuan and Zheng Jiao to retreat continuously.

"They really intend to burn us alive here." Zheng Jiao's voice trembled slightly.

I can't imagine how painful it would be to be burned alive.

"Shi Yanxia, ​​it seems you're nothing special after all. You laid so much groundwork, yet you still ended up in our hands?" Shen Lianchu struggled to her feet, the pain making it difficult for her to speak.

The old master craftsman's expression wasn't much better.

He watched as the raging fire ignited the trees and approached Shi Yanxia. He was thrilled, but his eyelids kept twitching. He reached out to Shen Lianchu and said, "Give me the jade."

"Dad, didn't we agree that the jade was for me? After absorbing Shi Yanxia's luck, it would be injected into this place and melt into my bones and blood to help me achieve immortality?" Shen Lianchu hesitated.

She had always wanted Shi Yanxia's luck; with her luck, she could awaken the dragon vein here.

If the dragon veins are at her disposal, then all the fortune in the world will be attributed to her.

In the future, she will be able to control this country, and even the whole world. With the support of the powerful families in the capital, no one will be able to shake her position.

"You don't believe me?" The old master was somewhat dissatisfied when he heard her hesitation.

Over the years, he has been helping her to constantly transform herself, peeling away her skin and bones. His energy has been almost completely exhausted. If he doesn't have something to support him, he will die after the deed is done.

This is why he withdrew the fortune from the metaphysical entertainment; it wasn't that he didn't want to deceive Shi Yanxia anymore, but that he was powerless to do so.

Zhan Chenhan, Qin Zhixi, Shen Guishi, and Shi Yannan almost dragged him down.

Over the years, he had been maneuvering among these people, thinking he could deceive them. Now it seems they had been secretly wearing him down, trying to drag him down.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but you originally said you would give all these things to me. Now I’m too badly injured to wait any longer. I will transfer the fortune to you once I gain the dragon vein’s approval.” Shen Lianchu immediately made a promise to him.

But the old master stared at her, noticing the greed and excitement in Shen Lianchu's eyes.

His hand instinctively reached for his waist, and just as he was about to attack Shen Lianchu, he heard a loud "boom" and an explosion not far away, followed by a rush of water.

"How can there be water? Wasn't all the water moved?" Shen Lianchu turned around in astonishment.

Seeing the water rushing towards her, she tried to say something, but was swept away by the current. The jade in her hand was thrown into the air. She reached out to grab it, but was kicked away with a "bang".

The jade fell into Shi Yanxia's hands, and the moment she got it, she raised it high in the air.

It was midnight, and the moonlight poured down from the sky, all converging and reflecting onto the jade. The bracelet and bangle she wore on her wrist emitted a burst of light.

"How did these things end up in your hands?" The old craftsman stared at the things in her hands.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding trees were cut down, and the flowing water extinguished all the fires on the trees.

Shen Lianchu stood up, supporting her waist. She stared intently at Shi Yanxia, ​​looking at the jade in her hand and the bracelet and necklace on her wrist, which seemed to have been cut from the jade.

"This is bad! If these things are combined into one, then it's possible that there was originally a large formation buried here, and she's activating it? No, we have to stop her!" The old master was anxious.

He hadn't expected Shi Yanxia to be so capable.

Perhaps she's not the only one who's capable. When did this place become a trap? And he didn't even notice?

"What formation was activated? All our undead have been cut in half at the waist." When Shen Lianchu came to his senses, he found that the undead that were still moving had been cut in half at the waist.

Bodyguards, special forces soldiers, and police officers rushed in from all directions.

Shen Lianchu kept swallowing, grabbing the old master's arm and saying, "Dad, aren't you very capable? Quickly think of a way."
