The Dragon Emperor Bloodline was indeed domineering, able to directly digest all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the power of medicines, continuously strengthening the body.
The Demon Race did not need specialized Body Tempering Skills, relying solely on bloodline inheritance and devouring various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
“In three days, you and your senior brother will accompany your master to Tianyang City to slay demons,”
“That’s great, I can finally go out and play!”
Ning Qianqian wiped her drool, eager to try.
She was now invincible below the Immortal level.
Three days later, Lu Changsheng took his two disciples and set off for Tianyang City.
Tianyang City was in a state of panic.
A Unity Realm Great Demon had appeared outside the city, killing cultivators coming in and out of Tianyang City.
Dozens of Mount Shu disciples in Tianyang City had been killed, and two Unity Realm Loose Cultivators who left the city to slay the demon also died at the hands of the Great Demon, after which no one dared to leave the city.
“Why hasn’t the Sect Leader come yet? Could it be that even the Sect Leader has lost confidence in slaying the demon?”
“I’m afraid that at this rate, Tianyang City might become a deserted city, and our Mount Shu will lose its reputation. Some disciples might even leave.”
The Mount Shu disciples in Tianyang City were extremely anxious.
Since Mount Shu couldn’t deal with the Great Demon threatening Tianyang City, the Loose Cultivators of the city also stopped paying their Spirit Stones.
“If someone in Tianyang City can eradicate the Great Demon outside the city, our major families are willing to offer eighty thousand Immortal Stones!”
The major families in Tianyang City offered substantial rewards, asking Loose Cultivators to take action and slay the demon.
However, the Loose Cultivators in Tianyang City looked at each other in dismay.
Eighty thousand Immortal Stones was no small sum, enough to buy two superior Immortal Artifacts, but the problem was one needed to be alive to use them.
“Fellow Daoists need not worry, I can lead the team to slay demons and exorcise evil. I wonder which Daoist friends are willing to join me?”
A Taoist stood out composedly, dressed as a chivalrous warrior, with a Longsword on his back, looking the very image of a Dao Bone.
Whoosh.
The cultivators of Tianyang City were astir.
Already two Unity Realm Loose Cultivators had been killed by the Great Demon while trying to leave the city to slay it.
No one expected that someone would dare to leave the city now.
“Although this Taoist’s courage is commendable, the Great Demon outside Tianyang City is no ordinary creature. Don’t lose your life just for the sake of showing off,”
“My name is Yan Zhiqiu. I am a disciple from Kunlun Immortal Mountain, here to cultivate. Please rest assured, a mere little demon is nothing for me to catch.”
The Taoist was brimming with confidence.
Wasn’t it just a Unity Realm Great Demon?
“Kunlun Immortal Mountain?!”
“Could it be that Kunlun Immortal Mountain?”
The cultivators of Tianyang City were shocked.
The Loose Immortal standing before them was actually a disciple from Kunlun Immortal Mountain!
Kunlun Immortal Mountain was a forbidden area in the Immortal Realm, and disciples descending from Kunlun Immortal Mountain were all exceptional!
“We are willing to follow the Taoist to slay demons and exorcise evil.”
“To be able to meet a disciple from Kunlun Immortal Mountain is truly a fortune of three lifetimes.”
“Now there’s hope for our Tianyang City!”
The cultivators of Tianyang City had just been meek, but upon hearing that a disciple from Kunlun Immortal Mountain was in Tianyang City, they clamored to join the demon-slaying squad.
Self-proclaimed disciple of Kunlun Immortal Mountain, Yan Zhiqiu, nodded in satisfaction and led several hundred cultivators out of the city to slay the demon.
“Let’s follow them.”
The Mount Shu disciples of Tianyang City also breathed a sigh of relief; no matter what, with a disciple from Kunlun Immortal Mountain taking action, surely they could kill the Unity Realm Great Demon harassing Tianyang City, right?
“But why would someone from a forbidden place like Kunlun Immortal Mountain appear in our little Tianyang City?”
“Perhaps it’s precisely because the people from Kunlun Immortal Mountain are so elusive that they occasionally end up in our Tianyang City.”
“That’s very possible.”
The Mount Shu disciples whispered among themselves, finding the entire situation incredible.
Kunlun Immortal Mountain, that kind of forbidden place, was only something they had heard about in legends.
Outside Tianyang City, on a hill, a huge Tree Demon awoke, its Demonic Qi spreading, almost commanding the entire hilltop.
“I thought it was a Great Power of the Demon Race, but it turns out to be a Unity Realm Tree Demon. You have caused harm to the living beings around you, and I, Yan Zhiqiu, will surely act on behalf of heaven to eliminate the evil!”
Yan Zhiqiu, leading several hundred Loose Cultivators, surrounded the Tree Demon that plagued Tianyang City and rebuked it loudly.
“Excellent!”
“Truly fitting of a Taoist from Kunlun Immortal Mountain, even your shouts are full of vigor!”
The crowd revered the mysterious Kunlun Immortal Mountain, lavishing praise upon Yan Zhiqiu.
Yan Zhiqiu stood with his hands in his pockets, head held high and chest out, seemingly enjoying the adulation of the crowd.
Facing the Tree Demon of Unity Realm, he didn’t even know how to lose.
“A bunch of ants, out of my way.”
The Tree Demon’s target was not these Loose Cultivators from who knows where, but Lu Changsheng, as well as his backer Shangguan Zhao’er.
However, Yan Zhiqiu leading a group of Loose Immortals to subdue it slightly disrupted its plan.
If these Loose Cultivators messed up the good thing, it would be difficult to explain to the Yellow Springs Sect.
“A minor demon, not even worthy of dirtying my Flying Sword.”
“Swift as the law! Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire!”
Yan Zhiqiu took out a talisman, holding it in his hand, as True Qi poured into the talisman, with each line on it blazing fiercely. Divine Fire spewed out, like a fiery meteor, enveloping the Tree Demon.
Under the attack of Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, the Tree Demon let out a painful scream, with vine after vine being incinerated, even its true form was burnt by the Divine Fire, billowing with thick smoke.
“Twelve grade Fire Talisman—Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire!”
“The cultivation of the Earth Immortal Realm!”
“Worthy of being a disciple from the Kunlun Immortal Mountain, not only is the realm profound, but also possessing a twelve grade talisman.”
“I wonder if Taoist Yan is still lacking disciples? We are willing to take Taoist Yan as our master.”
The Loose Cultivators from Tianyang City admired Yan Zhiqiu even more.
Yang Zhiqiu made his move like thunder, erasing the Tree Demon with a twelve grade talisman, winning applause from the crowd.
“I, Yan, roam the four corners, I do not take disciples.”
Yan Zhiqiu secretly wiped away sweat, fully exerting the power of the twelve grade talisman, which was somewhat strenuous even for his cultivation at the Earth Immortal Realm.
But the Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire attack reduced the Tree Demon to nothing, earning not only fame but also the reward of eighty thousand Immortal Stones offered by several major families of Tianyang City.
The Tree Demon finally struggled for a while, and under the attack of Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, it was completely reduced to ashes.
Just at that moment, three streaks of light fell, and a Taoist with a noble air, followed by two disciples, a female disciple with purple hair, and a male disciple in martial attire.
“Paying respects to the Sect Leader!” Get new updates on m-vl_em|p_yr
“Paying respects to Sister, Brother.”
A group of disciples from Mount Shu saw that the Sect Leader had arrived and hurriedly paid their respects.
“The Sect Leader of Mount Shu?”
The Loose Cultivators from Tianyang City also showed their respect.
The Sect Leader of Mount Shu was a high-ranking Earth Immortal, and even without the Taoist from Kunlun Immortal Mountain, the presence of the Sect Leader of Mount Shu would have been enough to eradicate the Tree Demon outside the city.
“You are a step too late, the Tree Demon has already been exorcised by me. The reward of Tianyang City, I claim it.”
Yan Zhiqiu looked down upon Lu Changsheng.
It was just a Tree Demon, wasn’t it?
The Sect Leader of Mount Shu delayed for quite some time before coming to exorcise the demon.
Yan Zhiqiu with a single talisman had eradicated the Tree Demon completely, the outcome was clear to see.
“Taoist Yan has profound and unfathomable cultivation, we admire you.”
“Taoist Yan truly is an Immortal.”
The Loose Cultivators from Tianyang City were even more eager to please Yan Zhiqiu.
This was someone who claimed to be a disciple from the forbidden land, the Kunlun Immortal Mountain; who knew how many treasures he had on him.
Lu Changsheng sized up this Yan Zhiqiu, who had an air of chivalry about him, seemingly not a Heretic Cultivator, just somewhat conceited and greedy.
Lu Changsheng then turned his gaze to the Tree Demon, only to see that under the assault of the Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, it was already charred, the entire mound turned into a sea of fire.
With a twelve grade Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire talisman, Yan Zhiqiu was quite good among the Earth Immortal Realm beginners that Lu Changsheng knew.
However, as Lu Changsheng eyed the mound ravaged by the Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, his brow furrowed deeply.
The Demonic Qi had yet to dissipate.
“Is this disciple of yours also from the Demon Race?” Yan Zhiqiu noticed Ning Qianqian, who was following Lu Changsheng and emitted Demonic Qi; therefore, he took out a mirror, “Before my ‘Demon-Reflecting Mirror,’ all demon-kind cannot escape my Dharma Eye.”
The true form of Ning Qianqian appeared within the mirror.
“The Dragon Emperor?!”
Yan Zhiqiu was originally thinking Ning Qianqian was some sort of Demon Race, but to his surprise, she was actually the Dragon Emperor. Startled, he quickly put away the Demon-Reflecting Mirror.
The Dragon Emperor Bloodline was backed by the entire ancient Dragon Clan, something not to be trifled with lightly.
He had originally thought to eliminate another demon, but upon encountering the Dragon Emperor, he couldn’t make a move.
Lu Changsheng spoke slowly, “The Tree Demon is not dead yet.”
Yan Zhiqiu, who was feeling uncertain, calmed down, “A Tree Demon of the Unity Realm, hit by my Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, how could it possibly not be dead?”
“The Sect Leader of Mount Shu is too cautious. The Tree Demon has clearly been consumed by the Tiangang Five Dispersions Fire, and is already beyond recognition in death.”
The gather Loose Cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment, as the Tree Demon was clearly annihilated.
“The Tree Demon on the mound was but its avatar; its true form is underground. It’s a Tree Demon of the Earth Immortal Realm in Great Accomplishment.”
As soon as Lu Changsheng finished speaking, the earth shook violently, the ground split open, countless vines stretched out from the underground. A Loose Cultivator in the Void Refinement Realm was entangled by the vines, crushed brutally, exploding into a cloud of blood mist, as the Tree Demon extracted his soul!
