"That's enough, don't disturb me anymore, I'm leaving!"
Mu Feng didn't believe the old Taoist had any thousand-year-old medicinal herbs; it was pure fantasy.
The old Taoist naturally couldn't let him leave like this and once again reached out to block his path.
"You'll believe me once you see these photos. This humble Taoist never speaks falsehoods!" As he said this, he took out his phone, opened his album, and searched.
As Mu Feng took the phone, his brow furrowed.
The old Taoist's phone actually contained a large number of photos of aged medicinal herbs.
Being proficient in medicine, he could discern the age and potency of medicinal herbs with just a glance at a photo.
The herbs in the photos were undoubtedly extraordinary, truly priceless treasures.
If he could obtain these medicinal herbs, he could even concoct elixirs for extending life and prolonging youth.
Mu Feng was indeed tempted. He nodded slightly and said, "If the medicinal herbs in these photos truly belong to you, I can indeed make a wager with you!"
The old Taoist's lips curled into a slight smile. In his eyes, as long as this boy came to the Taoist temple, he could employ a strategy of "catching a turtle in a jar."
No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't fight off multiple opponents, especially when the Taoist temple was full of countless experts.
"Then please come to Qingyu Taoist Temple on Qianyu Mountain tomorrow morning. This humble Taoist will await your arrival!"
The old Taoist now had no fear that Mu Feng wouldn't come. After all, such a great temptation was, in his opinion, irresistible to anyone.
Mu Feng nodded, "Don't worry, since I promised, I will definitely come. May I leave now?"
The old Taoist made a gesture of invitation, "Of course, you are free to leave at any time!"
"Looking forward to our meeting tomorrow!" Mu Feng gave him a meaningful glance and then strode away.
Watching his retreating back, the old Taoist couldn't help but let out a cold snort, "Truly, people die for wealth, and birds die for food. Boy, your skills are indeed formidable, but you are too young and impetuous, which will harm you. After all, not everyone understands the principle that the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind!"
Without incident, the night passed, and the next day arrived quickly.
Early that morning, Mu Feng arrived at Qingyu Taoist Temple.
At the same time, at the temple gate, an old man sitting on a futon was meditating.
This old man was the same old Taoist who had lost his jade pendant last night. At this moment, he exhaled a turbid breath and opened his eyes with an unfathomable gaze.
"You've finally come?" he said lightly.
Mu Feng slowly walked over and said, "Of course, I'm still thinking about those aged medicinal herbs!"
"Some things are not for you to covet. Come in with this humble Taoist!"
The old Taoist glanced at him, then picked up his futon and walked into the temple by himself.
Before Mu Feng could enter the temple, he could hear clanging sounds, and even the sound of knives being sharpened.
Within the dark gateway, there must be something unsavory hidden, waiting for him.
However, he couldn't catch the tiger without entering its lair. He had to go into Qingyu Taoist Temple.
Without a second thought, Mu Feng followed the old Taoist and strode through the gate.
A scent of sandalwood permeated the temple, making it truly feel like a sacred Taoist site.
As soon as Mu Feng entered the temple, he saw a group of Taoist priests in robes, wielding weapons, rushing out from all directions and surrounding him.
The old Taoist turned to face him and smiled contemptuously, "Young man, sometimes being too greedy can lead to retribution. Do you understand?"
"In my opinion, it's not me who will suffer retribution, but you!"
"After all, there are very few people who break their promises. You are truly a disgrace to the Taoist sect, and you feel no shame!"
Mu Feng muttered beside them, completely unfazed by the crowd.
The old Taoist snorted, "This humble Taoist has no desire to waste words with you. Today is your day of death!"
"That's not right, wait, didn't you say that if I defeat ten people, I can take all your aged medicinal herbs? Are you perhaps senile?"
As soon as Mu Feng said this, all the Taoist priests burst into laughter.
The old Taoist clapped his hands, "You're facing death and you're still thinking about wanting this and that. Do you think your status is worthy of it?"
"So you're not going to gamble with me?" Mu Feng stroked his chin, his smile gradually disappearing.
"Indeed, what are you? How dare you make a scene in Qingyu Taoist Temple? Do you know where this place is?"
The old Taoist had his own arrogance. In his eyes, this young man before him was doomed to die.
"I am not making a scene. Didn't you ask me to come? I already warned you last night, I don't like being toyed with!"
"Now that you dare to toy with me, my wrath will be borne by all of you!"
Mu Feng scanned his surroundings. This time, he was truly angered. After all, coming here required arduous travel, wasting much time and effort.
The old Taoist laughed heartily, "Our Taoist temple does have aged medicinal herbs, but they are for the consumption of our secluded ancestors. Do you, a wild boar, wish to consume fine bran?"
"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. If you want to fight, then fight!" Mu Feng spread his hands.
At this moment, the two had completely fallen out. The old Taoist gave a signal to the Taoist priests, "Disciples, this person intends to destroy our Qingyu Taoist Temple. What do you think should be done?"
The Taoist priests raised their arms and shouted in unison, "Kill! Kill!"
"Yes, kill! Attack him, let this person know the might of our Qingyu Taoist Temple!"
The old Taoist waved his horsetail whisk, and a group of Taoist priests holding long swords began to move around Mu Feng.
Dozens of inner force emanated from their bodies, forming a powerful aura.
Even Mu Feng couldn't help but frown. These people were all martial arts masters.
If they were placed outside, any one of them would be considered a master-level existence.
Mu Feng gave a thumbs-up to the crowd, "I must say, your Taoist temple does have some strength. If I were to eliminate all of you, it would truly be a great loss. I can give you one more chance to reconsider. Hand over the aged medicinal herbs, otherwise, I don't mind unleashing slaughter in this tranquil place!"
The old Taoist laughed to the heavens, "Unleash slaughter? That depends on whether you have the ability. Why are you all standing there? Attack!"
The Taoist priests charged forward in unison, and their sharp long swords were swung forward through the air.
One wave of sword energy after another scattered, attacking Mu Feng like a destructive force.
Mu Feng directly leaped into the air, easily evading these waves of sword energy.
Facing this sword energy, even he had to avoid its sharp edge.
"Ha!" The Taoist priests shouted and launched another attack.
However, Mu Feng's silver needles had already been shot out. Countless cold glints flew out with unbelievable speed, rapidly reaping the lives of these Taoist priests.
