This martial arts tournament is time-stopping.

The newly gathered Tiger's Fury suddenly stabbed towards the ghost hand mark on Ye Chu's wrist, which had been marked by evil spirits for a long time.

Sizzle!

Just as the sun melts ice and snow, it erased the ghostly handprint in an instant!

"This hidden danger, marked by evil spirits, has finally been eliminated!"

"Furthermore, although this force is greatly reduced after transforming into Tiger's Fury Force, it also represents a dramatic increase in quality, like a qualitative change from a wooden stick to steel reinforcement. Moreover, it has a restraining effect on mental abilities!"

If he weren't in a martial arts gym and hadn't torn items and had to pay for them, Ye Chu would have loved to throw a punch straight at him and feel the power of shattering a stone.

Furthermore, the quality and power of force are directly related to physical strength.

The root of initial strength is the unified resonance frequency of the whole body after the unity of mind and body, and the intensity of the resonance frequency comes entirely from the increase of qi and blood and the limits that the physical body can bear.

"The 'Tiger-Taming Stance' can enhance the overall physical strength, while the 'Tiger's Buddy Skin Technique' primarily enhances the skin and membranes, and incidentally cultivates a bit of soul-devouring and spirit-stealing spiritual power!"

"We cannot slack off in either one!"

After dinner, Ye Chu made an appointment with Han Heng to listen to music at a brothel the next night, and then went straight home.

When I arrived home, the aroma of fresh and delicious fish soup still wafted through the neighborhood.

However, while this fish soup smells delicious, it also poses a significant hidden danger!

We must keep the eagles under control and prevent them from stealing precious fish from other people's fish markets.

Otherwise, if the fish market traces their movements and they are held accountable, they will be in serious trouble.

Ye Chu immediately reprimanded and instructed the eagle once again.

Only after the eagle's gleaming eyes gave him an affirmative answer did he stop lecturing.

Then the family began to share the fish soup.

As Ji Meng went to wash the pots and pans, night fell, and a gentle breeze stirred before the rain.

The only spoilsport was the Wang family in the distance, whose son had died. They had hired the White Lotus Sect to perform a "resurrection" ritual, which required gongs and drums to be played as night fell.

Disturbing the peace and quiet!

However, the eldest son of the family had died, and the Wang family also had some influence. In fact, the youngest son of the Wang family, Wang Hongru, was still practicing martial arts with them in the inner courtyard of the Dragon Tiger Hall.

There's no way to say we shouldn't let people make noise!

Afterwards, Ye Chu practiced the Tiger-Rising Stance in the courtyard to digest the leftover fish soup that Ji Mengcangying and the others couldn't finish, and to strengthen his physique!

Time passed quietly.

Gradually, the sounds of gongs and drums from the Wang family mansion in the distance faded away.

The entire Shuanglong County gradually quieted down, with only a few crickets and grasshoppers chirping and buzzing in the cracks between the stones in the corners of the walls.

Finally, a torrential downpour descended from the sky, completely engulfing the entire city in the pattering sound of the rain.

"The rain has come at just the right time!"

【Technique: Tiger-Taming Stance (Beginner: 1/40 → 4/40)】

Ye Chu finished his practice, changed into a set of old clothes that he rarely wore, and covered his face with a piece of brown linen before rushing into the vast rain.

The Yang family is located in the eastern district of Shuanglong County.

When Ye Chu ran around the eight butcher shops in the county town every morning to collect the Daoist essence of unclaimed time, he had scouted out the area around the Yang family's residence along the way.

Furthermore, the Yang family's residence was originally called Yang Residence, which was personally built by the ancestor of the Yang family who passed the imperial examination for martial arts.

However, due to the decline of the Yang family and other reasons, the huge Yang residence was gradually divided and sold off in part, leaving only a three-courtyard house in the end.

So the Yang family ancestors were once wealthy, but now the Yang family has fallen so low that they can no longer afford to hire martial arts guards.

Only when Yang Heng emerged did the landlord Yang spare a sum of money to send his servants, tenants, and servants to the martial arts school to learn martial arts and cultivate a team for Yang Heng.

Even if the Yang family is down on their luck, they still have some money!

Even the exaggerated amount of lost silver claimed by Madam Yang must have been pocketed by her!

"The enemy hoards grain, we hoard guns."

Instead of secretly hiding your money, let me spend it for you!

Ye Chu lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his body flipped in mid-air like a hawk, already soaring over the courtyard wall that was more than two meters high.

After that, without using the time-stopping ability, he was able to easily evade the Yang family's only night watchman under the cover of the night and heavy rain.

However, Ye Chu remained cautious. Just as he entered the Yang family compound, he discovered that there were other people with him who had also sneaked into the Yang family compound!

Hiding behind a pillar, he glanced at his companion and discovered that it was Wang Hongru, the youngest son of the Wang family, who was also learning martial arts at the Dragon Tiger Hall. He was with Yang Shuisheng, who had been expelled from the Dragon Tiger Hall by Yang Heng.

"Layman Yang, you have already comprehended the Great Way of the Extinction of Suffering. You only need to sever your worldly ties to take refuge in the White Lotus, ascend to the sacred mountain to become a celestial being, accompany your elderly mother, transcend the cycle of reincarnation, and enjoy boundless bliss forever."

Yang Shuisheng devoutly formed the lotus mudra: "The Holy Maiden promised me that as long as I sever my ties to the mortal world, she would personally bestow upon me another moment of boundless bliss! For the sake of the Holy Maiden's cultivation and the development of the Holy Sect, I will personally sever this karmic entanglement of the Yang family!"

"With such clear understanding, Layman Yang will surely be able to join our Holy Teachings, become family with the Holy Maiden, and enjoy boundless bliss every day!"

Wang Hongru, also forming the lotus mudra, offered his congratulations and then took out a fist-sized oil paper packet from his robes, handing it to Yang Shuisheng:

"This is a pipe dream, colorless and tasteless mixed into food and drink, yet it keeps people in a deep, unawakening reverie, enough for you to sever all ties with the world!"

The two exchanged a few more words and discussed how to drug the water and food the following night, and then, after everyone had eaten breakfast, they would faint and end their worldly ties.

With a few quick movements, Wang Hongru escaped from the Yang residence.

Ye Chu stroked his chin, realizing one thing for sure: Wang Hongru and even the Wang family were members of the White Lotus Sect!

Even the death of Wang's eldest son, and the subsequent invitation of a Taoist nun to perform a "resurrection" ritual, was a cover-up.

Yang Shuisheng also joined the White Lotus Sect, but he still needed to sever his worldly ties before he could fully commit to the sect.

Secondly, the White Lotus Saintess personally bestowed boundless bliss upon Yang Shuisheng.

is it possible?

Is it some kind of hallucination?

Otherwise, this saintess would be too filthy and trashy!

and also,

Yang Shuisheng, a servant born into a family, harbored hatred for Yang Heng and the Yang family. Instigated and misled by the White Lotus Sect, he recklessly severed all ties with the world after allegedly poisoning Yang.

I'm afraid they'll kill the whole family!

But here's the problem: Wang Hongru came and went freely from the Yang family and had the power to easily kill the entire Yang clan, yet he allowed Yang Shuisheng to wipe out the Yang clan himself.

Or is there some special secret about the Yang family that forced the White Lotus Sect to do this?

"I'm afraid that after Yang Shuisheng severs his worldly ties, even a discarded pawn will be disposed of!"

As for the Yang family's secrets?

What Ye Chu could think of was what he also feared:

Huangtian Temple.

What the Yang family wants to do recently is to drive away the evil spirits of Qingniu Village and return to Qingniu Village!

However, Han Heng was able to steal the feng shui rituals that allowed him to steal Yang Heng's physical bones, lifespan, and fortune, and he probably set them up in Qingniu Village as well. I wonder if this is related to the White Lotus Sect's plan to target the Yang family.

Or perhaps two groups of people?

Secondly, the Yang family has their eyes on their own Hidden Field Ruins!

But Ye Chu and his father had only discovered the Hidden Field Ruins a few years ago, and they wouldn't tell anyone. Who knows why the Yang family suddenly set their sights on it?

The only exception was the grain that was taken out of the Hidden Field Ruins!
