I sneered and thought to myself: That place is a trap, I will definitely go there.

"Benefactor, are you sure you want to go?" The Daoist asked again.

"Of course, please lead the way, Taoist."

The Taoist looked at me, and probably didn't see any hesitation on my face. He clasped his hands together and said, "Infinite Blessing to the Supreme." Then, he turned around and gestured, saying, "No matter what you hear or what you see tonight, please don't spread it, okay?"

My mind was in a mess. Previously, the Taoist didn't want to tell me where Qing Qing and the rest were. In the end, I did. This made me extremely resentful and decided that this was a Black Taoist temple.

But after that, the Taoist's words, as well as his actions and expression made me suddenly feel that he wasn't intentionally hiding the whereabouts of Qing Qing and the others, but was a bit difficult to put into words.

What the hell was going on? The Taoist temple was supposed to be a place for cultivators, so there shouldn't be any messed up matters. However, from the Taoist's words and actions, he saw a lot of helplessness and fear.

My mind worked rapidly to think through everything that had happened tonight. In the end, I thought of a key person. As long as I thought of him, all of my doubts and mysteries would immediately be solved.

"Can I ask a question more, Taoist?"

As the Daoist led the way, he said, "If Benefactor has anything to say, feel free to say it."

"I heard that there's a crazy Daoist priest in your monastery. He's from Thunderclap Mountain …"

Before I could finish my words, the Daoist stopped abruptly and turned around to stare at me. His tone became cold once more, "Who is Benefactor? Why are you inquiring about Martial Uncle Yu?"

"Jade Machine... Is that the Daoist Priest from Thunderclap Mountain? "

Humph! The Taoist coldly snorted, flinging his sleeves with both hands and said angrily, "Rumors stop with the wise and sages, benefactor, you don't even know this little bit of logic? "Please forgive this humble one for being so rude, Sir, please return to your guest room. We will leave as soon as the sun rises, we do not welcome you here."

The heck, didn't I just casually ask a question? Why did I suddenly become so hostile?

Before seeing Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun, my heart was still apprehensive. I could only smile apologetically and said, "I don't know that you can't ask these questions. Taoist, you're a person who doesn't care about the world, so please don't bother with me."

The Taoist priest stood with his back to me and faintly felt his anger from his back. He said without turning his head, "This Penniless Priest originally thought that you were just a simple young man, which was why I decided to take you into the Taoist temple's forbidden area. However, I didn't expect that you were also here for Pill Master Yu.

I didn't understand my feelings at all. No matter what, I am still a hot-blooded young man, and have my own violent temper. Alright, since you insist on letting me go, I will still insist on going in.

I fucking know how to.

Thinking about this, my expression changed as I said resolutely, "I definitely won't leave without seeing Qing Qing and Aunt Caiyun. If you don't bring me, then bring me along. If not, then I'll barge in by myself."

"Haha, is the Hollow Temple a place for you to behave atrociously?" The Taoist sneered and stared at me. "If you still refuse to listen to this humble Taoist's advice, then don't blame this humble Taoist for being merciless."

"Alright, if you have any methods, then aim them at me. Even if I die, I won't go back."

"Alright, this Penniless Priest will help you."

After the Taoist finished speaking, he waved his hand and a white line shot out from his large sleeves. When it was in front of me, it opened up and trapped me like a fish net.

My original intention was to let the Taoist see my firm determination, but I didn't expect him to attack so easily and even catch me like a fish. This made me so angry that my lungs were about to explode.

He struggled furiously within the net and cursed loudly: "You evil Taoist, use such a despicable method to deal with me. If this gets out, I'll see if your black Taoist temple can still continue to operate. Demon Taoist, hurry up and release me …"

No matter how much I cursed, the Taoist didn't say anything more. He calmly looked at me for a moment before pulling me along with him towards the row of houses.

When he reached the door of the house, the Daoist called out to the inside, "Open the door, I'm back."

After that, the door opened and many young daoists came out. I looked through the fishing net and saw that the oldest was in his early twenties, the youngest was only eight or nine years old, and there was even the young daoist-boy who opened the door for us.

These daoists wore white tight-fitting clothes, but they were covered with bits and pieces of red … That's right, it was left behind after the blood splashed out.

"Senior Brother, you caught another one?" One of the little Daoists said to the Taoist who was holding me.

The Daoist priest seemed to be the eldest senior brother of these young daoists. With a worried look, he nodded, "Ever since Martial Uncle Yu came back, there has been some mental problems. A few bad guys with ulterior motives actually had ideas about this Taoist temple. This is too infuriating."

"Hey, you evil Taoist, don't talk nonsense here, I'm not interested in your Taoist temple at all, I just casually asked about the Jade Plate, and that's enough to make you go crazy, you even caught me. You're a Taoist, not a fisherman."

"Cut the crap. Catch at least a dozen people like you within a year. Don't even think of hiding anything from me."

"Is there something wrong with you? I have a beauty by my side and am not interested in being a Daoist. Hurry up and let me out, and then let my two companions go as well. Otherwise …" Hmph, I shall let you experience the power of the Art of Soulreaper. "

I was really angry and anxious. If these big and small monsters really wanted to kill me and then kill me, no matter how much they want me to argue, they would still call me an idiot even if they were dead.

Therefore, I deliberately brought out the Art of Soulreaper out to scare these demons. It might be of some use to them.

However, none of these demons could understand what was going on. One of them even walked over and kicked me, "Senior Brother, this Almsgiver's death is near, and he's still spouting nonsense. Seeing that he doesn't have a shred of regret, it's better to overstep himself."

"Alright, I'll leave him to you then." After the Daoist nodded, he muttered, "There are so many things to do tonight. When you guys surpass him, you must do it thoroughly. Senior, you will go and check tomorrow."

"Senior Brother, don't worry. This isn't the first time we've done this." A few of the lesser demons excitedly agreed.

Letting me die in the hands of these kids is too useless. I hastily shouted at the Taoist, "Yao, are you even part of a family? Why do you have to do some evil things that harm the innocent? Let go of me, you bastard!"
