Li Xiaoyao handed the antidote to Zhi Ya and left.

Bing'er wanted to follow Li Xiaoyao, but she couldn't even keep up with his silhouette and could only watch as Li Xiaoyao, coming and going like the wind, disappeared from Zhi Ya's side.

Li Xiaoyao arrived at the shrine outside the Qianye family clan, walked a few steps to the front of the shrine, and reached out to peel off the Yellow Talisman.

"Bang!"

A burst of energy exploded from the Yellow Talisman, knocking Li Xiaoyao back several steps.

"This power?" Li Xiaoyao was somewhat surprised. A surge of Spiritual Energy wrapped around his palm, and he reached out again to peel off that Yellow Talisman.

As his palm touched the Yellow Talisman, a force of energy was released from it, attempting to repel Li Xiaoyao's hand.

But Li Xiaoyao's power was clearly stronger than the Yellow Talisman. He suppressed it with ease, pinched the corner of the talisman and peeled it off.

"Ripping!"

The Yellow Talisman was peeled off from the shrine, instantly losing its efficacy and lying limply in his palm.

Li Xiaoyao curiously looked at the Talisman Paper and put it into the Storage Ring, then wrapped the shrine in his intent. An enormous body of an eight-headed serpent materialized in his mind.

It turned out that the shrine was a space container; the body of the eight-headed serpent, measuring over a hundred meters, was stored inside without appearing cramped at all.

After sensing for a while, Li Xiaoyao was pleasantly surprised to find that the body of the eight-headed serpent was preserved exceedingly well. It was robust with vital energy and emitted a ferocious aura throughout.

Casually putting the shrine into the Storage Ring, Li Xiaoyao turned to leave. However, after just taking a couple of steps, something occurred to him and he turned back to look at the stone base under the shrine.

Li Xiaoyao walked over, gently slapped his palm on the stone base and sent it flying, revealing the scene below.

Underneath the stone base was a narrow cylindrical pit. Inside the pit lay a complete skeleton, placed within it.

Li Xiaoyao controlled the skeleton with his intent, took it out, and gently laid it on the ground.

The clothes on the skeleton had long decayed, but it was still discernible that it was a Taoist robe.

Apart from the skeleton, there was also a horsetail whisk, a Money Sword, and a jade gourd.

"This Taoist must be the one from Xuan Country who suppressed and sealed the eight-headed serpent," recalled Li Xiaoyao, remembering what the serpent had said about being sealed here by a Taoist from Xuan Country.

But what Li Xiaoyao hadn't expected was that, although this Taoist from Xuan Country succeeded in sealing the eight-headed serpent, he was also killed by it.

Bowing respectfully to the Taoist's remains, Li Xiaoyao gathered the skeleton and relics, stood up, became a shadowy figure, and left the Qianye family.

...

Zhu Island City, Huo Family.

Under Mist Country's rule, Zhu Island City had undergone significant development, at one point boasting an economy that rivaled many small nations.

With the end of Mist Country's colonization and Xuan Country's reclamation, from the government to the great families of Zhu Island City, not one wished to cooperate.

But the Xuan Country of today was not the same as before; how dare Zhu Island City resist?

And when it comes to the great families of Zhu Island City, one must mention the Huo Family.

As one of the most elite families in Zhu Island City, the Huo Family undoubtedly stood among them.

```

The Huo Family dabbled in gambling, drugs, and the underworld; there was nothing they didn't touch. Yet, the successive Family Heads of the Huo Family were clever people with broad vision, capable of seeing things that ordinary people couldn't. This was also why the Huo Family remained standing tall.

In Zhu Island City under British Hong Kong rule, there was once great chaos, and at that time, Kowloon Walled City truly shocked the world.

Almost all of the world's heavyweight fugitives would go to Kowloon Walled City seeking a means of livelihood.

And in such an extremely harsh environment, many strong figures emerged.

The Huo Family had close connections with many of the strong figures from the former Kowloon Walled City, which laid a solid foundation for the Huo Family's status in Zhu Island City.

It was once jokingly said that out of every ten people in Zhu Island City, nine were involved in syndicates, and the remaining one would certainly join within three days.

Even now, if you randomly pulled aside a man over forty years old on the street, he definitely had history with a syndicate. If the syndicates' membership lists still existed, his name would surely be found there.

Even today, the syndicates in Zhu Island City remain extraordinarily active, and not even the government dares to provoke them lightly.

In a society governed by law, from beggars to corporate executives, everyone uses the law as a protective amulet.

In the Huo Family's villa at the peak of Victoria Peak, a young man gazed at the woman lying on the bed with her eyes tightly closed, licked his lips, and said, "This woman, she's real pretty."

The elder standing beside him, without a smile, said, "She is prepared for the old master."

The young man, discontentedly said, "He's so old; can he even handle it?"

The elder said, "This woman possesses an extremely yin constitution, which is greatly nourishing for the old master. In a few days, during the solar eclipse, when the spiritual energy is at its densest, the old master has a seventy percent chance of breakthrough if he's lucky."

"Hmph," the young man glanced at the woman on the bed with some reluctance, and said, "Tell grandpa that all the other women from The Dream Charity Foundation are mine. If he competes with me for a woman again, I'll send his favorite concubine to work at the stables."

The elder shook his head helplessly and said, "Play with those women if that's what you want."

The young man stood up from the bed and, as he walked out, cursed, "What a joke! Grandpa competing with his grandson for women—if this got out, it would make the headlines in minutes."

"Ah, let him off this time, I've got things to do, heading out first." Waving his hand, the young man walked downstairs, and soon after, the roaring sound of a sports car emerged from outside.

The elder, looking at the woman on the bed, a trace of a smile flashed in his eyes, "The old master is lucky, finding a woman with an extremely yin constitution right before the solar eclipse. If nothing unexpected happens, the old master will certainly achieve a breakthrough this time."

"Buzz~"

The elder took out his phone, "Master."

"Good, I got it."

After hanging up, the elder bent down to pick up the woman and walked upstairs.

On the top floor, there was an empty room with neither furniture nor appliances.

A complex formation was inscribed on the floor of the room, and an old, frail man sat at the center of it, his eyes tightly closed.

The elder carried the woman in, and the man's eyes suddenly opened, clear and sharp, in stark contrast to his aged body.

"Put her down," the man's voice was very weak.

The elder placed the woman on the floor and backed away.

The room was left with only the man and the woman. The man stood up and slowly walked toward the woman, each step taken with great difficulty.

Approaching the woman, the man slowly squatted beside her, took a deep breath with his eyes closed, and then exhaled with great enjoyment, "The extremely yin constitution, indeed. In two days, everything will be settled."
