Xu Ran held a Heavenly Thunder Talisman in his hand and slapped it on Huang Xianxian. “Demon, go back to where you belong.”

Huang Xianxian let out a sharp cry, but the first thing she did was protect Huang Lang’er.

The talisman hit her body and burned her shoulder deeply. Huang Lang’er cried in panic. “Xianxian, Xianxian, are you alright.”

Xu Ran frowned and said, “Let’s go.”

When people left, Huang Lang’er’s cries could still be heard from afar.

Liu Sanniang stood in the courtyard, but Huang Lang’er and Huang Xianxian could no longer see her.

She and Chu Yan were completely excluded.

Huang Lang’er carried Huang Xianxian back into the house. Her breathing was very weak. The four-year-old sat in front of the bed and wiped his tears. “Father, why did they hit Mother? Mother protects them, but they want her life. When I grow up, I won’t protect them anymore. I hate them.”

Huang Lang’er placed his hand on the child’s shoulder, his eyes red.

He said solemnly, “Yuehua, remember, you will take over your mother’s place in the future. You will cultivate and protect the mountains. The villagers also need your protection.”

Yuehua shook her head. “No, these are all evil people. I won’t protect them.”

Huang Lang’er slapped him angrily.

Huang Xianxian struggled to sit up. “Don’t hit him.”

After hitting his son, Huang Lang’er regretted it immediately.

He looked at his son with tears in his eyes and felt terrible. “Yuehua, I didn’t mean to…”

Yuehua did not want to listen at all. He wiped his tears and ran out.

Liu Sanniang looked at him. He looked thinner than when he was young. His facial features were more obvious, looking more like Wu Ju.

Wu Ju was really from Huanghu Village. He was the son of Huang Xianxian and Huang Lang’er.

Liu Sanniang quickly followed behind.

When he was young, Wu Ju was not called Wu Ju. His name was Yuehua.

He wiped his tears as he ran towards the mountains.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan followed him. At the same time, some villagers also spotted him and followed along. Wu Ju, who was overcome with sadness, did not know he was being followed at all. He kept running and only stopped when he reached a small temple.

He first wiped his tears and took out an incense stick from the incense box at the side to light it. Then, he cried. When he stopped crying, he wiped his tears and bowed to the temple. “Mother, don’t worry. What I said before was all out of anger. When I become the mountain god, I will protect the mountain. I will use what I can to do good!”

With that, he got up and went down the mountain. Little did he know that as soon as he left, a man hiding in the dark came out and went to the temple to take a look before leaving.

Liu Sanniang’s heart tightened. She picked up a stone and threw it at the man.

The man who had been hit, touched the back of his head and looked terrified. “Who is it?”

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan were beside him, but he could not see them.

The man looked scared and ran away.

When Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan returned to the village, she went to the village chief’s house. She wanted to see again if Wei Shilai had woken up, but she happened to hear them discussing how to deal with Huang Xianxian.

The man who followed Wu Ju earlier was saying that he followed Huang Lang’er’s son to a small temple and saw him calling the statue inside Mother.

Xu Qing said, “That’s the golden body of the demon. Tomorrow will be her death.”

Xu Ran nodded. “She’s a demon who reached a high level of cultivation after all. Although she’s very weak now, she’s still very powerful. You have to kidnap her son to threaten her to stop resisting.”

Someone raised his hand. “My boy is good friends with the little monster. I’ll get my boy to call the little monster out to play tomorrow.”

The village chief frowned. “Do we have to do that? I think what Lang’er said makes sense.”

The rivers in the mountains had all dried up, but there was still water in Huang Lang’er’s house. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was protected by Huang Xianxian.

When the village chief said this, someone immediately dissented with displeasure. “This drought was caused by that demon. After we subdue that demon, there will be no disaster.”

Xu Ran said, “A demon is a demon. She’s already killed people, so we can’t let her live. Now, I’ll make some preparations. Follow us to set up the formation.”

The villagers were in high spirits. “Alright, we’ll listen to you. Just tell us what to do.”

Xu Qing took the talisman and led the people to set up the formation.

As for Xu Ran, he chose five families to go with him to destroy Huang Xianxian’s golden body.

Liu Sanniang saw that the five families were the ones who left Huanghu Village after it was burned down.

Formation was already set up in the village. Liu Sanniang felt that it was not that simple, so she and Chu Yan followed Xu Qing.

At dawn, everyone went back to prepare.

Xu Qing had already returned. He smiled and said, “Everything is done. After we subdue this great demon, our power will definitely increase greatly. When we go back to apply for the senior position, no one will dare to object.”

Xu Ran nodded. “Indeed. Let’s take some rest first. There’s still a tough battle to fight tonight.”

Xu Qing nodded.

Liu Sanniang wanted to do something, but the villagers couldn’t no longer see them.

Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and pulled her away. Liu Sanniang did not speak along the way.

She saw a few children taking Wu Ju out to play. There was nothing she could do about it.

These children were none other than those who killed their family after they grew up. At this moment, they pulled Wu Ju away. “Yuehua, let’s play seek and hide.”

Wu Ju nodded. “Alright, go and hide. I’ll come find you.”

“Then, close your eyes and count,” a boy said.

He was Huang Daniu. He looked a little abnormal, but not to the extent of being retarded.

Wu Ju covered his eyes with his hands and started counting. The other children ran away. Not far away, their parents were waiting for them with candy in hand.

The children happily took the candy and ate it. Only Huang Daniu ate half of it and put the other half in his pocket.

Huang Daniu’s mother asked him. “Daniu, why didn’t you finish it?”

Huang Daniu smiled innocently. “I’ll keep it for Yuehua. One day, he’ll grow up and protect us.”

Huang Daniu’s mother looked a little displeased. “He won’t protect anyone.”

Huang Daniu said stubbornly, “Yes, Yuehua said it himself. His mother taught him a lot. He will be very powerful in the future. When he grows up, he’ll protect us. I’ll leave half of the candy for him.”

Huang Daniu’s mother had mixed feelings. She looked into the distance at the little figure who was still counting with his eyes covered and wondered if what they were about to do was really right.

The men had already quietly surrounded Wu Ju. When he opened his eyes, he was kicked to the ground.
