He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

Pudu pointed to the distant east, the direction Zhou Yuan had come from, which he was now using to deceive Xu Yi.

"The great demon was injured by me and this Taoist priest, and it ran all the way this way."

"This great demon possesses bizarre and unpredictable powers. Fellow Daoist, are you going to hunt it down?"

Pudu asked in confusion, he couldn't remember having any grudges with this person. He hadn't offended many cultivators at the Five Qi Gathering stage, and most of them were enemies he had formed in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

He hadn't been in the Great Zhou for very long, and apart from the monk "Pudu", he didn't seem to have made any enemies with other cultivators who had reached the Five Qi Gathering stage.

No, he's been sealed away for hundreds of years, and his former enemies should have grown up by now. Thinking of this, Pudu felt uneasy all over.

But if someone really came seeking revenge, they couldn't have come now; they should have attacked when he was sealed away long ago, right?

"I just sensed the presence of a powerful demon here. My greatest love in life is slaying demons and eliminating evil."

"We certainly can't let this opportunity pass us by, having encountered such a powerful demon today."

Xu Yi explained that he was telling the truth. Killing demons would allow him to gain more supernatural powers and greatly improve his cultivation, so he was very willing to do it.

"Kill demons?"

Pudu was filled with questions. What was this person saying? The person in front of him, Xu Yi, was undoubtedly a supernatural cultivator, and a powerful one at that, with unfathomable cultivation.

Nine times out of ten, they are great supernatural beings, also known as the so-called Five Qi Convergence, or pseudo-Five Qi Convergence, who have condensed four supernatural powers, but the fifth supernatural power is formed by relying on luck or other means, and is incomplete.

However, such a person should not be underestimated. Pudu's strength has not fully recovered, and he lacks confidence. Facing such a powerful opponent, whose cultivation level is completely unfathomable, Pudu no longer has the desire to oppose him.

This is called a strategic retreat, a temporary avoidance of direct confrontation...

But what does it mean to like killing demons? If you like killing demons, what are you doing in the Great Zhou? Go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

Let's go to the South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the North China Sea!

These places are teeming with demons. The Ten Thousand Mountains need no introduction; they are practically a paradise for demons, the very origin of the demon race, and the legendary birthplace of all demons.

Or rather, it was born.

The South China Sea, the East China Sea, and the North China Sea are teeming with sea monsters, each possessing formidable strength. The North China Sea is even guarded by a true dragon, a figure on par with the Demon Ancestor and True Immortals.

Go ahead, so arrogant. Fellow Daoist, why don't you go and try your luck in the ancient demon court of the Hundred Thousand Mountains? There are really quite a few demon ancestors there.

At this moment, Pudu really wanted to loudly criticize Xu Yi, but he really didn't want to get entangled with this little Taoist priest any longer. He quickly finished speaking and told Xu Yi to go chase after the so-called "great demon"!

But I, Master Pudu, have even more important things waiting for me to do. I need to conquer the civil and military officials of the court, control the emperor who is high above, and I also want to devour the golden dragon of fortune that the Great Zhou has nurtured for eight hundred years. I want to become the Demon Ancestor, the supreme Demon Ancestor!

Pudu's words were practically shouted from his heart. He was hysterical. Back then, when he faced the monk "Pudu," his sharp tongue almost made "Pudu" break Buddhist precepts.

Even a highly accomplished monk like Pudu, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, couldn't stand what Pudu said. This gives you an idea of ​​just how outrageous the great demon Pudu must have been back then.

"Senior, senior, I know you are divine beings with the ability to move mountains and fill seas."

As Zhou Yuan spoke, he knelt down in front of Xu Yi. Just as he was about to kowtow, Xu Yi stopped him with his sword.

"Master Daoist, why such great courtesy upon our first meeting?"

Xu Yi was dumbfounded. "No way, do I even know you? Why are you kneeling before me?"

Zhou Yuan's actions are currently being manipulated by Pudu, who is actually holding a grudge. Xu Yi's behavior just now left him feeling very confused.

Then Pudu would leave Xu Yi feeling completely bewildered.

Xu Yi felt that the person in front of him was dressed more like a Taoist priest than he was. He felt that Zhou Yuan was the one who should be sitting in the temple, not him, Xu Yi, this carefree person.

"Sir, please, you must kill that demon!"

Zhou Yuan was extremely agitated, and he tried to kneel down again.

Xu Yi personally got up and helped Zhou Yuan up. He said helplessly, "Daoist, it is our duty as cultivators to slay demons and eliminate evil. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have gone after him anyway."

Tears welled up in Zhou Yuan's eyes. He was quite old and valued relationships very much. His previous disciples had died on their journey of slaying demons and monsters. He never expected that his two youngest disciples would also die in this way.

The Imperial Observatory is now in discontinuity... Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan closed his eyes, looked up at the sky, and tried his best not to let his tears fall.

Good adults are able to control their tears.

But Zhou Yuan was out of options; his experiences had been too tragic, and in his old age, he never imagined he would have to live alone.

"Sir, I am Zhou Yuan, the current Director of the Imperial Observatory of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"I was originally..."

Before Xu Yi could even ask him a question, Zhou Yuan had already begun to tell his entire story clearly, even including the part where Pudu and he fought demons together.

According to Zhou Yuan's account, he and his two disciples were walking on a mountain path when they inexplicably heard a cry, and then his two beloved disciples died with resentment.

Zhou Yuan, blinded by revenge, has lost all reason.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan's eyes were bloodshot; he wished he could personally chase after the great demon and tear it to pieces...

"I never expected there to be this side to the story, Master. Please calm yourself down."

After listening patiently, Xu Yi offered a word of comfort to Zhou Yuan.

Xu Yi actually felt quite sorry for Zhou Yuan. Just imagine, he was happily following his disciple out to broaden his horizons, but who would have thought that he would encounter such a heaven-defying demon as soon as he left the capital.

If it weren't for Master Pudu passing by, Zhou Yuan would probably be a cold corpse today.

Wait, Zhou Yuan is the Director of the Imperial Observatory? He seemed to vaguely recall something...

Director of the Imperial Observatory...

I remember now, it's Grandpa Deng.

Xu Yi nodded slightly. Wasn't this the reinforcement that Old Master Deng had invited?

I never expected a mortal to be so fierce, actually able to exchange a few blows with a great demon who had cultivated supernatural powers.

Although this great demon has just awakened, it certainly possesses the strength of the supernatural realm. According to Old Niu, this great demon may have already touched the threshold of the 'Demon Ancestor'.

However, these are all things that the old ox smelled and remembered based on the scent, and they are currently unreliable.

This was the first time Lao Niu had provided Xu Yi with information. To be frank, Xu Yi didn't quite believe it. He always felt that although Lao Niu seemed honest, he was actually quite wicked.
