Reborn as a Snake: Forging a Demon Court Starting from a Black Python

"Why did Leifeng Pagoda suddenly fly up?"

Upon seeing this, someone gasped in shock.

For a long time, the people were in a panic and never spoke, but at this moment they finally couldn't hold back anymore.

They often passed by Leifeng Pagoda, and the changes to this tall building were truly unacceptable to them.

Only mortals were surprised.

The cultivators were not very surprised, as they had long known that Leifeng Pagoda was not as simple as it seemed, but contained very powerful magic.

It is enough to suppress all demons and monsters.

Of course, it doesn't have to be demons or monsters.

"Fahai is really in trouble now!"

"Heh, if he had been killed by that black dragon, he would definitely have had a chance to be reincarnated and start anew. Now that he's been cast into Leifeng Pagoda, he'll never be able to rise again!"

The monks discussed amongst themselves, their words filled with mockery of Fahai.

They were very far from Hangzhou, watching the fire from across the river, and could see it very clearly.

Just as Bai Suzhen and Lin Xuan had stirred up a great wave, Fahai rushed out, clearly having anticipated it.

However, Fahai did not inform the people of Hangzhou, which clearly showed his ill intentions.

The cultivators themselves may not be any good people, and when faced with a similar situation, they might behave even worse than Fahai.

But that doesn't stop them from looking down on Fahai.

"Forget about Fahai, I'm just curious about what that black dragon is all about, and what it's trying to do," a cultivator asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the other cultivators all shook their heads in confusion.

They had never heard of this black dragon before and had no idea of ​​its origins.

Only one person hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I have heard a story. It is said that there was once a gang of river bandits who ran rampant on the upper reaches of the Qiantang River, but they all died overnight."

"It is said that this was the work of a black dragon."

The cultivator who asked the question first shook his head instinctively after hearing it.

"This shouldn't be a black dragon, right? Those dragons are already under strict control by the Heavenly Court if they don't cause trouble and harm people, how could they possibly be out there killing some water bandits?"

The cultivators all nodded again, clearly looking down on the dragon race.

Even the monk who brought up the matter did not refute it.

Just as the cultivators were discussing this, Fahai was already pushed to the foot of Leifeng Pagoda by the giant wave.

Fahai, watching the Leifeng Pagoda about to be crushed, was sweating profusely and roared:

"Monster, stop right now! Let me tell you, I am a Buddhist disciple. Even if you suppress me, a virtuous Buddhist monk will release me one day!"

"I will fight you to the death then!"

Lin Xuan almost burst out laughing when he heard Fahai's words.

Do you think that if I stop now, you, Fahai, will shake hands with me and make peace?

"Hehe, then I'll wait for you outside!"

Lin Xuan sneered, swung his body, and his tail suddenly shot forward, bursting out of the river to deliver the final blow to Fahai, slamming him heavily to the ground.

Fahai was beaten senseless and dizzy. Before he could react, he was pressed under Leifeng Pagoda.

He was so furious that he roared.

"Snake demon, you just wait..."

Unfortunately, he was suppressed before he could finish speaking.

Lin Xuan pursed his lips, too lazy to respond, and retracted his tail, with a cassock hanging from the tip.

It turns out that his tail-whipping attack wasn't just to vent his anger, but also to take the opportunity to steal Fahai's golden cassock.

[The robe of unknown origin (gold): It carries a Buddhist aura and seems to have a connection with a certain eminent Buddhist figure.]

[Quest Item: You can give the robe to a certain monk; you might gain his favor.]

Lin Xuan glanced at the description of the kasaya, completely unconcerned.

This might be a difficult riddle for others, but for Lin Xuan, it was incredibly easy to understand.

This robe has many uses; giving it to any monk will earn you a huge amount of goodwill.

If you give it to Tang Sanzang, you'll receive a buff from him.

But if we're talking about the optimal solution, it would definitely be given to the Black Bear Spirit.

Lin Xuan's eyes flashed, and without further thought, he put the cassock into his storage space.

At this moment, the magic power he gained by exploiting the bug was completely exhausted, and his body returned to its original size.

The surrounding floodwaters have receded and are flowing through Hangzhou.

Hangzhou has now become almost a water city, with traces of flowing water everywhere.

Lin Xuan didn't pay attention to these details. He glanced around and then rushed out in surprise, taking out the purple-gold alms bowl from a puddle.

The golden alms bowl was swept away by the flood, and Lin Xuan was busy dealing with Fahai, so he didn't immediately try to take it back.

Now I finally have it in my hands.

"Not bad, not bad. This purple-gold alms bowl is a rare magical treasure. Although I don't have Buddhist techniques and it's not very convenient for me to use, I can still take it out and trade it with other demons in the future."

Lin Xuan nodded repeatedly, his face beaming with joy.

However, he still appears as a dragon. Although he has a happy expression, it is terrifying to mortals.

"What is that dragon looking at? Is it going to eat someone?"

"Run!"

Several mortals finally couldn't hold back any longer, cried out in alarm, and fled into the distance.

Lin Xuan was not surprised to see this and put away the alms bowl.

Before he could do anything else, Bai Suzhen's voice rang out.

Sometime later, she transformed back into human form and walked over.

"Are you... are you alright?" Bai Suzhen asked hesitantly.

Lin Xuan knew that Bai Suzhen must have many questions to ask, so he didn't turn his head and said:

"Don't worry, my wife, I'm perfectly fine."

"I have one more thing to do. I'll come find you after I'm done."

Bai Suzhen's mind was a complete mess at this moment, far from her usual sharpness, and she actually asked, "What are you going to do?"

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, did not answer, and turned to rush towards Jinshan Temple.

Bai Suzhen was stunned for a long time before finally coming to her senses and saying with annoyance:

"I had completely forgotten that we came here specifically for the dragon energy of Jinshan Temple."

"Now that Fahai is imprisoned under Leifeng Pagoda, he must be searching for dragon energy."

She lowered her head, turned and walked away, and soon ran into Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing has also transformed back into human form, her face equally troubled. As soon as she sees Bai Suzhen, she runs over.

"Sister, Lin Xuan...is he really Lin Xuan?"

These words were incoherent and incomprehensible to most people, but Xiaoqing didn't know how to explain them more clearly.

Fortunately, Bai Suzhen understood and nodded, "That's right."

Xiaoqing let out a long breath, her expression complicated, and muttered something under her breath in a very soft voice.

Bai Suzhen didn't even need to listen carefully to guess what Xiaoqing was saying.

She went closer, wanting to offer some words of comfort to Xiaoqing.

In any case, they no longer need to worry. Their husband already knew the true identities of the sisters, so they no longer need to explain anything.

As Bai Suzhen was organizing her thoughts, a tremendous roar came from the direction of Jinshan Temple.

The voice was so captivating that even a thousand-year-old demon like Bai Suzhen couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end.

The roar was accompanied by a terrifying aura—that was the true might of a dragon!

She turned around, knowing full well that Lin Xuan had already extracted the dragon energy from Jinshan Temple.
