Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Bless You with Safety

"If I don’t return by noon, let Yun Chan come over to help channel True Qi to you, at least it can hold out a little longer."

Yang Cheng advised, though he felt uncertain inside.

He hadn’t yet cultivated the spell, and if he failed, he wouldn’t even have the chance to go up the mountain.

"Xiaochen, you must return safely no matter what."

Ni Qingyao tightly held his hand, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

If Yang Cheng lost his life because of her, she’d never find peace in her lifetime; it might even be better to just die.

"I definitely will."

Yang Cheng solemnly nodded, gave Kong Lingwen a look, and the two of them went out together.

Reaching the gate of the courtyard, Yang Cheng spoke: "Lin Wen, if I don’t return tomorrow, leave Hidden Cloud Village first thing the day after tomorrow."

"Leave by myself?"

Kong Lingwen looked shocked.

"Yes!"

"What about godmother?"

She was full of anxiety, with a bad premonition in her heart.

"If I don’t return on time, Aunty will be consumed by the Taotie’s Remnant Soul in her body. By then, she’ll be corrupted by the remnant soul, meaning her soul will vanish, and she will no longer be herself. I’ll have Yun Chan handle her, you won’t need to do it yourself."

Yang Cheng was also reluctant, but once the Taotie’s Remnant Soul successfully corrupts, the entire Hidden Cloud Village will suffer; Ni Qingyao must be killed before then.

"I can take godmother away from Hidden Cloud Village."

Kong Lingwen’s voice trembled as she grabbed Yang Cheng’s arm.

"But that way, she’ll erupt on the road, and you’re just an ordinary person and can’t control her. Not only will you die, but innocent people will be involved."

The words fell, and silence ensued between them.

After a long time, Kong Lingwen choked as she spoke: "I understand, I’ll do as you said."

"It’s a reluctant measure. I’ll do everything I can to come back."

Yang Cheng raised his hand, patted her head, and then turned to leave.

Kong Lingwen stood in place, digesting this news for a long time before turning and entering the house.

...

At midday.

Yang Cheng was cultivating on the clearing at the village entrance, with his shirt off, sweat rolling down his muscular lines.

True Qi surged around him, all gathering above his head, forming a huge golden disc, covered with Sanskrit.

The disc spun twice, then suddenly stopped and vanished without a trace.

"Failed again!"

Yang Cheng exhaled a breath of impure air, his face full of defeat.

During cultivation of the Dragon and Phoenix Dance Scripture and the Ninefold Heaven-Burning Fist, he was at ease, at least not failing time after time.

Any Medicine Pill or Spell to enhance cultivation is essentially defying heaven, causing significant harm to the body, and is very difficult to succeed.

At this time, Yun Chan came over, poured him a glass of water, and whispered: "Take a break, have some water."

Yang Cheng gulped down the water before speaking: "Yun Chan, I have a favor to ask, if I don’t return, help me kill Aunty Ni and find a good place to bury her."

He had already mentioned last night that Ni Qingyao’s Taotie’s Remnant Soul was about to lose suppression, once corrupted by the remnant soul, a killing spree is inevitable.

After a moment of silence, Yun Chan nodded: "I understand."

The two sat under the tree and chatted for a while, Yang Cheng continued to get up to cultivate, but the sky was turning dark, and he still hadn’t truly mastered the Mixed Element Technique.

"Yang Cheng, stop practicing, go back to eat first, you’ll need energy to go up the mountain, today my mom cooked many good dishes for you."

Yun Chan raised her hand to wipe his sweat and took him home.

Entering the door, they caught a whiff of rich fragrance, the table was covered with chicken, duck, fish, and a jar of wine.

"Little Divine Doctor, come sit, I spent all day on these dishes, eat while they’re hot."

Wen Ying called him to sit and immediately served him food.

Hidden Cloud Village was not convenient for transport, so there weren’t many chickens and ducks in the village, usually eaten only on holidays, but today was the best meal Yang Cheng had since arriving.

He picked up a bite of meat and said with a smile: "Aunt Wen, this dish is really tasty."

"As long as you like it, when you return I’ll make a big table of dishes for you, eat a lot!"

Wen Ying kept serving him food, then stood up and opened the wine jar, pouring him a glass.

"This wine only has two jars, stored by Yun Chan’s father ten years ago, today I open one jar for your journey, the other waits for your departure."

As soon as the jar was opened, the fragrance of wine spread.

Yang Cheng usually didn’t enjoy drinking, but today his mood was heavy, he lifted the cup and drank it all in one go, spicy flavor filled his mouth.

At this time, footsteps were heard at the door, Da Shan and Yue Ying came in.

"Brother Cen, you made so many good dishes without inviting me!"

Da Shan laughed, he knew tonight Yang Cheng would go up the mountain, so came to see him off.

"Da Shan, welcome, join us for a meal!"

Wen Ying warmly welcomed and went to the kitchen for utensils.

With two more people, the atmosphere was not as heavy as before, as everyone ate and chatted.

Seeing the time was almost up and Yang Cheng had eaten his fill, he stood up and said to everyone: "I’m setting off, no need to worry, that old thing isn’t my match."

"Yang Cheng, take this, it will protect you."

Yun Chan walked over and took off the Peace Pendant from her neck, placing it on his.

The others didn’t know the Peace Pendant was the key to the Purifying Spirit Spring, only believing it was for protection.

Yang Cheng lowered his eyes towards her, the two said nothing but understood each other’s meaning.

Everyone escorted Yang Cheng out, only to find many people gathered at the door, blocking the way.

"Little Divine Doctor, you must return safely!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone echoed.

Then a little boy squeezed out from the crowd and walked up to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng recognized the boy who had asked for candy before, touched his head, and was grabbed by the small hand.

"Divine Doctor Brother, I heard you’re going to defeat the big bad guy, you’re so strong, you can surely beat him thoroughly!"

He pulled out a paper flower folded from red paper from his pocket, handing it to Yang Cheng solemnly: "This is a peace charm prayed for by all the kids in the village, it will definitely keep you safe."

"Thank you."

Yang Cheng, full of emotion, touched his little face.

Before, he thought children were annoying, but the kids in Hidden Cloud Village were innocent and adorable, perhaps having such a lovely child is happiness.

To not waste time, after saying goodbye to everyone, Yang Cheng headed straight to the mountain, soon disappearing into the woods.
