This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Typical thunder is loud and raindrops are light.

It's true that sword energy crisscrossed the area, but not a single wisp of it landed on the lotus pond fish demon.

Of course, as long as the desired effect is achieved, that's good.

"Who are you? We have no enmity, why do you want to kill me!"

The lotus pond fish demon emerged from the Azure Wave Pool, standing on the turbulent lake surface. Her beautiful eyes stared directly at Zhong Bai, who held a sword in the sky. She was certain that she had never provoked the Daoist Nascent Soul cultivator in front of her, and didn't even have the slightest impression of him.

He would shout and threaten to kill her the moment he saw her, and even though the Lotus Pond Fish Demon was seriously injured by Fahai, he was still extremely dissatisfied.

In Suzhou and Hangzhou, Fahai wanted to kill her, and Lianchi could only flee in a sorry state. But when she arrived at Bibo Pool, another person came who wanted to kill her. She was so angry that she laughed.

Seeing the Lotus Pond Fish Demon's confidence, Zhong Bai felt a surge of excitement.

"You fiend, you have harmed living beings and are burdened with karma. Now that I have encountered you, I cannot spare you!"

After saying that, Zhong Bai didn't waste any more words. The jet-black longsword in his hand transformed into thousands of phantom images. As the sword energy sealed off the heavens and the earth, Zhong Bai clenched his five fingers, and millions of sword energies rushed towards the lotus pond.

"Belle!"

With a solemn expression, Lianchi waved her hand, and a seven-colored seashell flew out from the bottom of the Azure Wave Pool and landed on her head, sprinkling seven-colored light to protect her. However, as the sword energy continued to fall, beads of sweat dripped from the forehead of the Lianchi fish demon, clearly indicating that she could not hold on for long.

"what!

"This is going too far! Since you want to die, then so be it! Lord Dragon Lord, save me!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Bai became even more excited. Ever since he arrived near the Azure Wave Pool, Zhong Bai had noticed a powerful divine soul in the shadows trying to probe his background.

However, perhaps out of fear of Zhong Bai's strength at the Human Immortal realm, or perhaps to avoid causing trouble, the owner of this divine soul did not appear.

As the lotus pond fish demon called out "Lord Dragon Lord," Zhong Bai clearly sensed that the divine soul was no longer calm, and a vast aura emanated from the river a hundred miles away.

It's highly likely that this is the powerful backer behind the Lotus Pond Fish Demon.

"Humph!

"You have overstepped your bounds. The Lotus Pond is under my protection. If you wish to leave, I will pretend I never saw anything."

boom!
A hundred miles away, the river exploded, and a black dragon tens of miles long soared into the sky, followed by countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals, densely packed in the sky, a dark mass that arrived behind the lotus pond fish demon.

Qinghe Longjun's eyes darkened.

He really didn't want to provoke Zhong Bai, since it was obvious at a glance that he was a Taoist disciple.

He originally intended to stand by and watch Zhong Bai kill the Lotus Pond Fish Demon and leave, but Zhong Bai did not choose to do so. Instead, he forced the Lotus Pond Fish Demon to ask for help.

With the cries for help from the lotus pond fish demon, the Qinghe Dragon King could no longer pretend not to see it.

If this is ignored, the subordinates will definitely be disheartened and will not take things seriously in the future.

Where is his authority?

However, the problem was that the previous one was an unknown Taoist immortal, so in the end, the Qinghe Dragon Lord still chose to intervene.

Looking at the dark mass, Zhong Bai's excitement was palpable. As expected of the Earthly Immortal Realm, even the shrimp soldiers and crab generals were all at the Nascent Soul level, and there were even some at the Primordial Spirit level mixed in.

After all this, you want to just let things slide?
Tsk tsk, Zhong Bai won't agree. He's too envious. Besides, these shrimp soldiers and crab generals are full of evil aura and karma. Zhong Bai is on the side of righteousness. How could he back down?
"The demonic dragon has brought calamity upon the people and its crimes are unforgivable!"
How could I possibly compromise?

"Just accept your death!"

Without wasting words, Zhong Bai clenched his fist, and the Lotus Pond Fish Demon, who was already struggling to hold on, was instantly pierced by countless sword energies. In just a moment, her physical body and primordial spirit were annihilated by the sword energies.

"you wanna die!"

Watching Lianchi being beaten and killed right before his eyes, Qinghe Dragon Lord felt his face flush and burn with shame.

With a flick of its body, the dragon charged towards Zhong Bai!
"Well done!"

Although Zhong Bai was under immense pressure, he still had some confidence thanks to the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. Moreover, Zhong Bai's goal was not to fight the black dragon, but to kill as many crab soldiers and generals as possible.

With the divine power of "Law of Heaven and Earth," Zhong Bai's terrifying aura transformed his Dharma form into a size of hundreds of thousands of feet, showing no fear in the face of the Qinghe Dragon Lord's dragon body.

boom!
A single punch could not possibly cause the heavens and earth to change color, after all, the Earthly Immortal Realm is so vast.
But everything within a hundred miles was reduced to ruins.

The moment they clashed, Zhong Bai spat out a mouthful of blood, which shot straight at the dark mass of shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Immediately afterward, Samadhi Fire exploded, and cries of agony rose and fell. Of course, many more were reduced to ashes without even a cry.

Zhong Bai's actions undoubtedly enraged the Dragon Lord of Qinghe even more. The huge dragon claw slammed down on Zhong Bai's Dharma form. Even though Zhong Bai had cultivated the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, he still couldn't avoid being injured when facing this true dragon at the peak of the Human Immortal realm. Of course, the injury was not serious.

continue!

One after another, the Samadhi Fire blazed fiercely throughout Zhong Bai's entire Dharma form. In less than half an incense stick's time, most of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals brought by the Qinghe Dragon Lord were dead.

excited!

Watching the demon-slaying points surge, Zhong Bai didn't even bother to pay attention to Qinghe Dragon Lord's dragon claws until his Dharma form finally gave way and shattered.

puff!
Zhong Bai soared ten thousand meters, blood slowly flowing from the corner of his mouth, yet he remained excited.

"Hahaha, the demonic dragon is indeed extraordinary. I'll remember this. Until we meet again!"

Zhong Bai understood the simple principle of taking advantage and running away quickly. He would wait until he had time to process the demon-slaying points he had acquired, and then come back later. This black dragon would be doomed!
Qinghe Dragon King's face darkened.

He tried to shatter his boss's Dharma form, but the boss then proceeded to brutally slaughter his subordinates...

Do you still want to leave?

Who can tolerate this?
The ferocious-looking Qinghe Dragon King could no longer hold back. He had only one thought in his mind: to kill the Taoist priest in front of him who was trying to escape, by any means necessary!
"Little Dragon Qinghe, we beseech the Third Holy Mother to uphold justice and vanquish this evil cultivator!"

The Qinghe Dragon Lord, already consumed by rage, took out a jade tablet and crushed it. Instantly, a powerful aura descended upon the area.

Zhong Bai, who had originally intended to leave, was dumbfounded. There was clearly nothing blocking his way, yet he couldn't take another step forward.

Immediately afterward, the void cracked open, and a jade hand from the heavens locked onto Zhong Bai. Without a word, Zhong Bai was grabbed by the jade hand, his head spun, and that was the end of it.

.........................................................

Mount Hua in Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Snow Reflecting Palace.

This is the Taoist temple of Yang Chan, the Third Holy Mother, the younger sister of Erlang Shen Zhenjun Yang Jian. Although the brother and sister did not have a good relationship with the Jade Emperor of Heaven, he was still their maternal uncle. The Third Holy Mother was enfeoffed at Mount Hua, where she only obeyed the titles bestowed upon her and not the summons or orders given to her. She was extremely carefree.

However, in Xueying Palace today, besides the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan, there is also a man lying on the ground...

He lay motionless with his limbs spread out in a starfish shape. Looking closely at his face, who else could it be but Zhong Bai?

Yang Chan's gaze was somewhat cold. She wore a seven-colored robe woven by the Heavenly Weaver Girl. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her temperament was unique. In her right hand, she held the innate spiritual treasure lotus lantern, and in her other hand, she took out a thin golden rope.

"Immortal Binding Lock, go!"

As Yang Chan unleashed the Immortal Binding Lock, Zhong Bai, who was lying face down, was instantly bound. As Zhong Bai was tightly bound, his consciousness gradually returned.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhong Bai didn't even have time to look around, much less care about the golden ropes binding him. At this moment, Zhong Bai felt a sharp pain in every bone in his body.

As cold sweat poured down his back, Zhong Bai finally began to assess his situation. Well, he'd been caught. Judging by this, he was probably done for…

"Ahem!" Zhong Bai was a little embarrassed, as this was the first time he had been caught and tied up like this.

Zhong Bai, oblivious to everyone else, tried to break free, but even with all his might, he couldn't budge the golden ropes binding him.

Yang Chan witnessed the whole thing...

“I said…

"You'd better not waste your time. This Immortal-Binding Rope, though not the genuine article, is still a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Don't think that just because you're a human immortal, even a true immortal wouldn't be able to break free."

As Yang Chan spoke, Zhong Bai began to pay attention to the source of the sound. Upon closer inspection, he exclaimed, "Hmm, beautiful!"
Zhong Bai was somewhat dazed. Had he been captured by this stunningly beautiful woman in front of him?
"Forehead……

I am Zhong Bai, a disciple of Maoshan, and I hold a seventh-rank position in the underworld. Fairy, you have immeasurable merit and extraordinary temperament, and I believe you are also reasonable.

"I, a humble Taoist priest, slew a carp spirit with immense karmic burdens at the Jade Wave Pool, with a demonic dragon backing it up. I wonder why you, fairy, helped that demonic dragon capture me?"

In terms of fists, Zhong Bai has no choice but to admit defeat. However, the fairy in front of him doesn't seem to be the kind of vicious person, so he'll take the initiative and strike first.

Zhong Bai's words immediately stunned the Third Holy Mother.

In short, it's no wonder that Zhong Bai, a model citizen who acted on behalf of Heaven, was caught by her.

"You're quite good at turning the tables, but the demonic dragon you speak of is actually a true dragon under my command, responsible for controlling clouds and rain. You think you're in the right to kill those aquatic creatures?"

Zhong Bai's eyes lit up. Hmm, this fairy is a bit silly. Is she trying to reason with me?
That's alright, you don't have to die.

"Whether it's a true dragon or a demonic dragon, I killed a carp spirit with immense karma and was protected by it. They're all in cahoots, and I have a clear conscience!"

"A nest of snakes and rats?"

Yang Chan fell into deep thought. Something seemed amiss. However, these things were either as light as four ounces or as heavy as a thousand pounds. They were just some small fry, so Yang Chan didn't care.

Before meeting the fairy, she remained silent for a long time. Zhong Bai was really afraid that she had the same personality as him and would kill her first.

"Then what...

"Fairy, could you please untie me? It's so uncomfortable; my bones are pricking all over, it's really..."

Yang Chan snapped back to her senses instantly. Without saying no, she casually waved her hand, and the Immortal Binding Rope was released from Zhong Bai's body and returned to Yang Chan's hand.

Having finally gained his freedom, Zhong Bai didn't even have time to pay attention to Yang Chan. He immediately sat cross-legged and prepared to recover from his injuries.

Yang Chan frowned slightly upon seeing this.

He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, poured out a bright green pill, and calmly said, "Swallow this pill; it will be more effective."

what?
Zhong Bai looked up at the pill Yang Chan handed him, feeling somewhat apprehensive. However, seeing the fairy's calm expression, he carefully accepted it and swallowed it.

Seeing that Zhong Bai was beginning to recover from his injuries, Yang Chan left.

It wasn't that Yang Chan was stupid, but when Zhong Bai was captured, she realized that the man in front of her was a Taoist cultivator who had no karma and was even blessed with merit, which is why she didn't kill him immediately.

As for pills... Yang Chan said that such things are not even considered treasures.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

Three days have passed since Zhong Bai was captured.

......................................................

Snow Reflecting Palace.

"what!"

"You are the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan!"

Is she the younger sister of Erlang Shen, the True Lord Yang Jian?

Zhong Bai was genuinely surprised. It wasn't that his composure was lacking; it was simply too unbelievable that the fairy who had captured him was actually Yang Jian's sister and the Jade Emperor's nephew.

hiss!
Zhong Bai, who never relied on women for financial support, was somewhat tempted by Yang Chan in front of him.

"Hey!

What kind of look is that? Don't you believe me?
No one in this world dares to impersonate me. Look at your jumpy behavior! A disciple of Maoshan, supposedly gifted? To me, you're just average.

amount……

Yang Chan crossed her arms and looked at Zhong Bai, feeling secretly pleased. As the saying goes, returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes at night. Zhong Bai's surprise made Yang Chan secretly pleased and also gave her a good show.

Normally, whether in Heaven or on Earth, no one wants to have too much contact with him.

Especially since her second brother kept a close eye on her, she had even less chance to get close to someone like Zhong Bai.

Of course, it's all mutual.

Zhong Bai didn't feel that the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan in front of him was unapproachable. Yang Chan gave people the impression that she seemed cold, but was actually a sweet girl.

Well, that's what Zhong Bai thinks anyway.

Therefore, they don't have the awkwardness that comes with different statuses when speaking; instead, they say whatever comes to mind.

Zhong Bai swallowed hard, then looked at the treasure lamp in Yang Chan's hand.

"Is this the innate spiritual baby lotus lamp?"

After Zhong Bai finished asking his question, Yang Chan simply summoned the Lotus Lantern and made it float in front of Zhong Bai.

Seemingly unremarkable, Yang Chan also appeared calm, but in reality, both of them had their hearts pounding.

Zhong Bai thought the difference between people was greater than the difference between people and dogs, while Yang Chan thought the feeling of secretly enjoying showing off was so cool!
Of course, the main reason is that Zhong Bai cooperated well and conveyed the emotions very well.

"Truly worthy of being a Primordial Spiritual Treasure!"

Zhong Bai let out a heavy sigh of relief. After Yang Chan put away the Lotus Lantern, she could no longer suppress her smile and began to explain.

"Don't be envious. This Lotus Lantern was actually bestowed by the Goddess Nuwa. It's not something we need on a daily basis."

Sigh, so distressing…

Zhong Bai remained silent throughout; he had realized that Yang Chan was doing it on purpose.

It's like everyone knows you're a disciple of the Goddess Nuwa.

No, hehe...

"Fairy Yang Chan, do you know Liu Yanchang?"

Zhong Bai's expression was somewhat strange, and his smiling face set off alarm bells in Yang Chan's heart, especially the name Liu Yanchang, which sent a chill down her spine.

With a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth, Yang Chan took a deep breath and shook her head.

"I don't know!"

Zhong Bai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It wasn't that he actually wanted to live off a woman, but rather that before Yang Chan met Liu Yanchang, Erlang Shen Yang Jian wasn't very strict with her, so the chances of him being discovered were slim. (End of Chapter)
