If she came along, she could share some of Yifan's troubles. After all, her realm was at the early stage of Divine Transformation Third Realm. Coupled with her martial arts, she could fight against creatures of the Divine Transformation Fourth Realm.

"Although my realm is low, I still have the ability to protect myself. If I can't beat them, I will run away immediately. I won't engage in a protracted fight, so please don't worry," Yifan reassured, trying to alleviate her concerns.

Logically, Jiajia should be the one to eliminate the Mountain God. After all, in terms of both realm and martial arts, she was stronger than him.

But he didn't want Jiajia to take this risk; after all, Jiajia was his woman, and he didn't want anything to happen to her.

"But..." Just as Jiajia was about to say something, Yifan immediately cut her off.

"Alright, promise me, stay here and protect mom and dad, and take care of Jiajia and the others. If I don't come back, you take them to a safe place and settle down, understand?" Yifan instructed.

Hearing the latter part of his statement, Jiajia and the others immediately became worried; this time, Yifan didn't have a hundred percent certainty, which meant there were risks involved. They didn't want anything to happen to Yifan, so they tried to stop him.

"Yifan, please don't go, okay? Let's leave here together and find another place to live peacefully."

"Yifan, we can't lose you. Please, please don't go."

"Yifan, I don't want you to take this risk. I want to have lots and lots of babies with you."

...

Yifan hadn't expected that a single sentence would cause Jiajia, An Qi, and Su Qingqing, who trusted him, to become so worried; this moved him, but also left him feeling somewhat helpless.

Just as he did not know how to respond to the three women, Jiajia stood out and said, "Yifan, if you really must go, please wear this talisman. It might save your life."

"What is this talisman, and what does it do?" Yifan curiously asked as he took the yellow talisman from Jiajia's hand, turning it over to examine it.

"This talisman was given to me by master for self-defense. It has an instant teleportation function. If you can't beat the Mountain God, immediately take out this talisman, recite an incantation, and then channel your cultivation power onto it. The talisman will automatically work and transport you away from the scene," Jiajia answered.

She had just remembered this talisman; with it, she felt much more at ease.

The reason the Mountain God required the Town Chief to summon them must be because it couldn't come out on its own; otherwise, it would have taken action personally already. So, as long as Yifan could get out of the cave, he would be safe.

"Instant teleportation function, how miraculous?" Yifan was somewhat shocked, having never expected such a thing to exist.

"Mm-hmm! It was developed by master, and it's equivalent to a teleportation matrix," Jiajia replied.

"Then teach me the incantation quickly," Yifan urged, somewhat impatiently.

With this Instant Teleport Charm, he was no longer afraid of the Mountain God in the back mountain.

If I can't beat it, I'll run. Let's see what you can do about it, heh heh.

Jiajia brought her mouth close to Yifan's ear and quietly told him the incantation, having Yifan memorize it firmly in his mind.

Yifan had a photographic memory. He repeated Jiajia's words in his mind in written form, ingraining them into his memory.

Therefore, he could remember it with just one telling.

After memorizing the incantation, Yifan set off.

At that moment, Zhou Jiajia and the others watched Lin Yifan leave with worried faces.

Despite having an Instant Teleport Charm, they were still concerned about Lin Yifan's safety; the reality was harsh, you never knew what would happen the next moment. If the Instant Teleport Charm were snatched by the Mountain God, then it would be all over; so they couldn't help but worry about Yifan.

"Jiajia! Does this Instant Teleport Charm really work?" Zhou Jiajia asked curiously.

"It definitely works, just not sure if Yifan will be able to use it," replied Jiajia.

"Ah! Who knows why Yifan is being so stubborn, insisting on taking the risk," sighed Su Qingqing.

"Perhaps it's to awaken the slumbering villagers, or maybe to eliminate the hidden dangers and return peace to the world," answered Jiajia.

Although Lin Yifan was usually quite a bully to them in daily life, at critical moments, he was very much a person of righteousness; that was one of the reasons she was drawn to Lin Yifan.

"Now, all I can do is pray for Yifan to come back safe and sound, nothing more," An Qi murmured softly to herself, her heart filled with silent prayers.

Lin Yifan was determined to go, and as his woman, she could only let him go.

On the other side, after leaving his home, Lin Yifan drove his car, following the steps of the Town Chief and the others towards the back mountain.

After so many years, there was a road that led to the cave in the back mountain; so they could drive straight to it.

Every festival, people from Qingshi Town would go to worship this Buddha. Whether rich or poor, they all wanted to receive the protection of the Mountain God, to earn big money, to be cured of diseases, and to live a safe and healthy life.

In theory, there was nothing wrong with that; however, offering cows, offering sheep, and wanton killing, that was a bit too much; moreover, there were rumors of bad people, black societies, kidnapping innocent people and offering them to the Mountain God to devour, just hearing about it felt creepy. Although it was not confirmed, the possibility of some wanting to get rich committing wicked deeds could not be ruled out.

Therefore, this instigator of evil had to be dealt with.

The car drove on, through the mountains and valleys, and soon arrived at the back mountain.

Thus, after many years, Lin Yifan once again saw the cave that slightly resembled a giant maw.

Since it was facing away from the sun, the cave was pitch black, bottomless, filled with unknown terrors.

"Mountain God! I have brought the person as requested, please give your instructions," the Town Chief and his followers asked respectfully, not daring to show the slightest defiance.

"Return, I want to have a lengthy talk with him," responded the Mountain God.

Hearing these words, the Town Chief and the others were overjoyed.

Because this was the first time in many years that the Mountain God responded with words. Normally, the Mountain God communicated by shaking the trees or moving the mountains; now that the method changed, they were a bit flabbergasted and found it unbelievable.

"Alright! Mountain God, we're leaving," they said, smiling as they rode their motorcycles away.

Soon, only Lin Yifan was left in front of the cave.

At this moment, surrounded by eerie stillness, with ghostly wails echoing, anyone else standing here alone would likely be scared half to death; the quiet terror here was more than most people could withstand, particularly looking at the cave that very much resembled the maw of some creature.

If he had been a child, Lin Yifan would not have dared to come here alone; but now, being a Cultivator, all kinds of demons and ghosts had to reveal their true forms in front of him, and this "Mountain God" was no exception.

"Hello! Man-eating Mountain God, long time no see," Lin Yifan greeted jokingly, not scared in the least.
