Ye Xunhuan didn't answer immediately, instead, he slowly shifted his gaze to Qing Mu.

Looking at Qing Mu sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes slightly closed, Ye Xunhuan sighed lightly, "He doesn't need you to take action!"

"Even if you want me to do it, I won't. I may talk a lot, but I'm not stupid!" Angus said blandly, "This old bald monk was hurt by your sword aura, but if he fights for his life, I definitely won't fare well, so you'd better handle it yourself!"

"However, if you give me the Taiji Seal right now, I might consider helping you out."

"Taiji Seal..."

Just as Ye Xunhuan said the words Taiji Seal, Qing Mu suddenly opened his eyes, interrupting him directly, "Benefactor Ye, the Taiji Seal is a treasure of Huaxia. Although it's also a source of evil, it is something our Huaxia ancestors left behind and must not fall into foreign hands!"

Angus's face immediately darkened, his blue eyes sharp at this moment, "Old bald monk, haven't you figured it out yet? You're in the mood to care about other things?"

"Amitabha!" Qing Mu chanted softly, "Even if it means death, I, Qing Mu, will not allow Huaxia's treasure to fall into the hands of someone as sinister as you!"

"As a Huaxia person, I have a duty to protect Huaxia's treasure."

"If I'm wicked, then what about the marshal?"

"Even though he may be a demon, he's still Huaxia. If the Taiji Seal falls into his hands, I have no complaints. But if it falls into your hands, even without the heart to fight for it, today, I'd venture to snatch it!" Qing Mu said firmly.

Ye Xunhuan looked at Qing Mu in disbelief; this old guy still had this resolve. Why hadn't he noticed before?

"Old bald monk, you seem to be courting death!" Angus's face turned gloomy.

This old monk didn't first think about saving his life but instead wanted to protect the Taiji Seal. Had his brain been kicked by a donkey, or had he knocked his head too much ringing that wooden fish, damaging it?

Otherwise, how could he say such things?

Though it seemed righteous, without your life, what righteousness is left?

With those words, Angus stomped on the spot and leapt out fiercely like a vicious wolf towards Qing Mu.

"Whoosh!"

In an instant, Angus appeared in front of Qing Mu, his hands clawing like a tiger's towards Qing Mu.

Seeing this, Qing Mu immediately raised his hands to clash with Angus.

Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan was hastily adjusting his breathing at this moment.

Though he didn't know why Qing Mu cared so much about whether he'd hand over the Taiji Seal, if he didn't adjust his breathing now, he'd be a fool!

Although Qing Mu indeed was injured and greatly weakened, it was unrealistic to say he'd kill Angus, but to entangle with Angus a bit, he could still manage.

"Swish!"

Qing Mu quickly drew his legs in like a spring, bouncing himself up and swinging his right leg at the same moment!

"Whoosh..."

As he kicked out, a massive whirlwind immediately swept towards Angus. The fierce gale felt like icy blades slapping the face, excruciatingly painful, as if the skin was being sliced open.

"Bloodkill!"

Angus's iron fist seemed soaked in blood, crimson like a blood bath, as he punched towards Qing Mu!

"Bang!"

A heavy punch landed on Qing Mu's leg, sending Qing Mu flying, while Angus also retreated two steps uncontrollably!

"Clang!"

Qing Mu landed heavily on the ground, his face immediately showing a look of pain.

"Old fool, did you really think what I said with the marshal was true?" Angus said coldly, "I was teasing you, yet you took it seriously!"

"Your body has been pierced by sword aura, and your meridians are damaged. You know better than I do how important meridians are to your Huaxia martial artists!" Angus said disdainfully, "And now you still dare fight me? Isn't that courting death?"

"Wretched beast, don't be arrogant! Even if it means risking my life today, I won't let you succeed!" Qing Mu slowly got up, casually glancing at Ye Xunhuan: "Benefactor Ye, today's matter is all due to me!"

"I will hold him off, you must escape quickly, remember, even in death, the Taiji Seal must not fall into the hands of the vile!" Qing Mu said firmly, "Although I still urge you, lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha instantly!"

"Old bald monk, he can't escape!" Angus snorted coldly, "I've already notified people, this area is likely being besieged by my forces, soon enough, you'll both die!"

"No, wait!" Angus suddenly thought of something, his voice changing, "The marshal can't die, I want to embrace him, make him like me, and have him obey me, then I will be invincible!"

Saying this, Angus seemed to envision everyone bowing to him, breaking into maniacal laughter.

Angus's laughter was very sharp, reverberating in mid-air for a long while!

"Damn it, stinky bat, stop your fucking laughter, I can't stand it!"

A furious roar instantly dispersed the ear-piercing sound.

This abrupt roar made Angus' expression change slightly, "Who, who?"

Angus began sweeping his gaze around nonstop.

"It's me!"

The next moment, an elderly figure, like a whirlwind, came from afar.

Before the person arrived, the voice was already there.

Subsequently, an elderly man appeared in front of Angus, with a large smoking pipe hanging at his waist, hair gray, face wrinkled like tree bark.

The old man wore a black cotton coat, loose black trousers, his beard scraggly, with big yellow teeth, looking just like an ordinary old man!

Angus saw the old man and his face tightened.

"Who are you?"

"Ming Yue?" Qing Mu's eyes immediately shone with a glimmer of hope, like a drowning person grasping a lifeline: "You... you're Ming Yue?"

When Ye Xunhuan heard the name Ming Yue, his eyes widened, staring directly at the old man.

When Ye Xunhuan saw this old man, he was immediately dumbfounded, wasn't this old tramp picked up by the dean from the market?

How did he suddenly become Ming Yue?

For a moment, Ye Xunhuan's mind was in chaos.

In his mind, Ming Yue ought to be the kind with youthful appearance, white hair, and an immortal aura, how could he possibly be like this.

More importantly, how did he become a tramp and got picked up by the old dean to the orphanage?
