"Because of your special identity." Liu Taoist seemed to know Chen Yang wouldn’t understand, so he had already thought of an explanation for it.

"Your cultivation is profound, and you have an open identity. If people from Blood Bat Hall find out you’re with us, will this Liuhe Village remain peaceful?"

"So, you must set off in advance, and unless necessary, you cannot reveal our acquaintance. This way, you can clear your relationship with the enemy alliance."

Liu Taoist slowly explained his plan.

After listening, Chen Yang understood.

That old fellow’s strategy was indeed very necessary.

After all, his identity was out in the open, and if Blood Bat Hall found out about his connection with the enemy alliance, even a casual investigation could trace back to Liuhe Village.

Indeed, they shouldn’t be seen together.

Prevention is better than cure.

"I understand, I’ll set off tonight." Once he grasped the logic, Chen Yang no longer asked anything else and agreed with a nod.

"Mm, then you should take Ao Min and the snake in the lake with you. And also Xiran, she should go with you as well," Liu Taoist said.

"Xiran is not necessary, right?" The mention of taking He Xiran made Chen Yang feel a bit overwhelmed.

That girl loves playing around, having her along might be troublesome.

"No, it’s not possible. Since Xiran has appeared with you, it would cause problems if she leaves with us, right?" Liu Taoist shook his head with a smile, refusing.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang had nothing else to say.

He Xiran indeed had appeared with him, and also had interactions with members of Blood Bat Hall, so she definitely couldn’t appear with Liu Taoist again.

"Alright, I’ll take her." Chen Yang reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Mm, then let’s all prepare. The Dragon God Festival is a rare event that happens once in fifty years and cannot be missed." Liu Taoist smiled and nodded again, afterward the three dispersed.

Upon returning to the medical hall from the Green Cloud Taoist Temple, Chen Yang immediately began making arrangements.

This time when he leaves, it’s unknown how long it’ll be before he can return, so he definitely needs to arrange everything at home properly, otherwise, it might become chaotic.

The most important thing is, of course, the matters in the village. The family’s tourist area is operating, with many things needing handling every day.

Once home, he immediately called Lin Qianqian and a group of company executives.

He held a simple meeting for them, instructing them to ensure their positions were in order during his absence, with everything entrusted to Lin Qianqian’s decisions.

After arranging everything for the company and the village, he focused on family matters.

This time, he hadn’t planned on taking Brother Wangcai and the others along.

Having them guard the home is best.

Aside from them, there’s also Chen Hao.

Chen Hao’s body has greatly improved after the medicinal bath.

Additionally, the astonishing vitality within him constantly heals his body’s wounds.

The results are remarkable, almost indistinguishable from not being injured, except for a visible scar.

Yet, although he has recovered, taking an eight-year-old to such a gathering might not be appropriate, right?

Hence, Chen Yang had thought of entrusting Chen Hao to the village.

Just before he had time to act, Chen Tianmin arrived first.

"Yang Zi, attending the Dragon God Festival this time is a great opportunity; you should bring little Chen Hao along." Chen Tianmin said directly upon his arrival.

"Second Uncle, I thought the same, but even though his body is recovered, he’s still just an ordinary child. Would exposing him to this be bad?" Chen Yang seriously considered this issue.

He felt it would be better not to take him.

But Chen Tianmin had a different opinion.

"Little Chen Hao is inherently extraordinary. Protecting someone like him all the time is useless; when he should be exposed to certain things, he should be exposed. It’s actually a good thing for him." Chen Tianmin said.

After hearing this, Chen Yang didn’t argue anymore.

Chen Hao is indeed extraordinary; it would be a shame not to let him cultivate or experience the cultivation world.

"Alright, I understand." Chen Yang finally agreed.

"Mm, on the road, you can teach him cultivation techniques. Starting early is good for him too," Chen Tianmin smiled and nodded, then talked about Divine Dragon Mountain with Chen Yang.

Divine Dragon Mountain is roughly 300 kilometers away from Liuhe Village.

It’s all mountainous terrain along the way, excellent for traveling.

There’s no need to deliberately avoid villages or towns; just head forward.

"Additionally, Divine Dragon Mountain’s situation is similar to Lingxin Sect’s; it is shrouded by a concealed formation and requires finding the entrance to truly enter Divine Dragon Mountain, remember this," Chen Tianmin carefully described Divine Dragon Mountain’s situation and told Chen Yang how to truly enter Divine Dragon Mountain.

By the time their conversation finished, it was already dark.

Ao Min, the Flood Dragon, and He Xiran all arrived at Chen Yang’s house one after another.

"Young friend Chen Yang." Ao Min’s injuries had completely healed, and he was in a great mental state, greeting Chen Yang proactively.

"Master."

"Chen Yang."

The Flood Dragon and He Xiran also entered.

"Since you’re all here, let’s prepare to set off. I believe everyone knows the purpose of this trip, so let’s not waste time." Seeing everyone gathered, Chen Yang had no intention of saying much more.

There’s over 300 kilometers to Divine Dragon Mountain, so there’s plenty of time to talk on the way.

"Alright, this king hasn’t left the mountains for over two hundred years. Let’s see how Dragon God Sect is doing now, maybe I’ll even meet a couple of old acquaintances." Ao Min was very excited, eagerly anticipating the Dragon God Festival.

"Chen Yang, where’s Chen Hao?" He Xiran, feeling excited, thought of Chen Hao.

"He’s in the room," Chen Yang said.

"Uncle Chen Yang." Chen Hao might have heard He Xiran mention him and came out of the room.

Upon seeing the Flood Dragon and Ao Min, fear flashed in his eyes involuntarily but didn’t react further.

Because in the afternoon, not only had Chen Tianmin spoken with Chen Yang about Divine Dragon Mountain, but he had also taken the opportunity to tell Chen Hao about the cultivation world.

Initially, they thought the matters of the cultivation world were too shocking for an eight-year-old to fully accept in a short time.

But little Chen Hao once again exceeded their expectations.

Chen Hao not only accepted it but also showed an intense desire for cultivation.

"Uncle Chen Yang, can I cultivate? I want to become strong and personally avenge my parents!"

Chen Hao showed his desire and revealed his determination to seek vengeance for his parents and loved ones.

"Chen Hao, come here, let me introduce you to these three." Chen Yang waved him over.

Though scared, Chen Hao still mustered the courage to walk towards Chen Yang.

For an eight-year-old child to do this is already commendable.

Because the appearances of Ao Min and the Flood Dragon were indeed intimidating, frightening.

"Little friend, I’m your uncle Chen Yang’s friend; you can call me Uncle Min. If anyone dares bully you, tell Uncle Min and I’ll skin them alive for you." Ao Min said with a smiling face.

Although Chen Hao found his face somewhat strange and terrifying.
