Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 41 Niu Wendao's Trouble (Fourth update, requesting recommendation votes and monthly votes)

Upon entering the courtyard, one finds Kong Zhao, Lu He, and Liu Xian, but not Old Master Liu Qing.

"The Foundation Establishment demons under the Moon Gazing Demon King have also entered the city."

Liu Qingyue said, "My grandfather also went out to defend against the Foundation Establishment stage monsters."

"Hopefully, no more monsters will come." Li Changsheng sat cross-legged under the old willow tree with them.

As night deepened, the roars of monsters could be heard from outside from time to time.

One after another, demonic creatures rushed towards the buildings, and some even charged towards the Green Willow Courtyard.

Li Changsheng once again entered the old willow tree, activated the formation, and resisted the demons.

Fortunately, these demons were all at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, and none were at the ninth level.

With the help of the formation, these monsters could only leave behind a field of corpses.

The pungent smell of demon blood drifted through the night, and the corpses of monsters covered the ground.

The golden sword light dimmed several times, but fortunately Kong Zhao gave him a Qi-restoring pill to recover his spiritual power, which allowed him to persevere.

There were spiders, snakes, scorpion demons, and centipede demons, all of which were highly poisonous.

Fortunately, they were all minor demons and none of them managed to break through their defenses.

oooo

In the dead of night, a wolf's howl echoed, and all the attacking monsters turned and fled.

The monsters retreated like a tide, and the four of them collapsed to the ground.

Li Changsheng also emerged from the old willow tree and leaned against it: "Are these monsters planning to attack the city?"

"No, if it's a siege, then the Moon-Gazing Demon King won't leave."

Kong Zhao shook his head and said, "The Moon-Gazing Demon King left on his own initiative because he didn't want to cause too much damage."

"But why are they doing this?" Li Changsheng couldn't understand.

  

Why go through all this trouble and sacrifice so many little demons just to join in the fun?

"We'll know tomorrow," Kong Zhao said.

The group said no more, sat down cross-legged, and began to recover their spiritual energy.

With their spiritual energy restored, the group went out to take a look and found that a patrol team from the city lord's mansion had come and told them to go back and rest.

The group was indeed exhausted and had no choice but to return to the courtyard to rest.

When I woke up, it was already noon the next day.

Liu Qing had already returned, but her condition was very bad; she was missing her left arm.

Liu Qingyue and Liu Xian had red and swollen eyes, clearly from crying.

"Steward, what's wrong?" Kong Zhao and Lu He, who had just woken up, asked upon seeing this.

Liu Qing sighed, "Last night I fought a demonic snake and was poisoned by it. I had no choice but to cut my own throat to save my life."

"Has that Moon Gazing Demon King gone mad? How dare he injure the steward? Isn't he afraid of our retaliation?" Kong Zhao asked in a low voice.

"Who knows what's gotten into Wangyue? But Wangyue is indeed amazing. He fought three elders all by himself and walked away calmly."

Liu Qing said gravely, "Gu Hengtong of Lingxu Cave Heaven was severely injured, and the other two elders also suffered considerable injuries."

"Is Wangyue really that powerful?" the group exclaimed in surprise.

"Extremely impressive, Wangyue is probably about to reach the Golden Elixir Rejuvenation stage."

Liu Qing paused here, then said, "I'm increasingly puzzled. At this moment, Wang Yue should be in seclusion, cultivating to achieve the Golden Core stage."

Seeing that there was no further news, Li Changsheng also left, taking with him a number of monster corpses.

Back at the blacksmith's shop, there were signs everywhere that it had been ransacked and that poisonous insects had crawled there.

The monster arrived last night, but saw no people or anything; it just searched around and didn't cause much damage.

Li Changsheng absorbed the blood and flesh nourishment again, stored it away, and then went out.

He wanted to hear what had happened last night, what the Qi Refining stage cultivators, besides those in the Foundation Establishment stage, had encountered.

Throughout the city, people were talking about what happened last night, recounting how dangerous it was, how brave they were, and how many monsters they had slain.

Some even brought out monster pelts to prove their bravery from the previous night.

There were too many monsters last night; even if you were to pick them up, you'd only find corpses. So, this attempt to prove bravery was a complete failure.

Just as he was about to leave, the sound of conversation not far away caught his attention.

"I heard that Changchun was injured by a monster last night, so the competition between the three factions will have to be postponed for a few days."

"It's not just Changchun; Shuiyue Cave and Qingxuan Cave have also closed their doors and are not coming out. They are probably injured as well."

"Last night, Niu Wendao was on a rampage, even fighting his way out of his own yard. I took a look from afar, and he was truly fierce. He almost deformed that iron rod from the fighting."

"Speaking of which, Niu Wendao is still the most powerful. Everyone else was injured, but he was the only one who wasn't."

"Isn't that right? I heard that Niu Wendao used quite a few Foundation Establishment techniques and even injured a Foundation Establishment cultivator."

Foundation building?

Did any Foundation Establishment demons visit the three sects last night?

Wait a minute, is this Moon Gazing Demon King after the calf?

However, if the goal is to seek answers from the oxen, the action should be clandestine, not so ostentatious.

Is he really here to see a friend?

Forget it, I can't figure it out, I'm not going to think about it anymore.

He sat cross-legged to cultivate and continued to refine his body.

The monsters' attack on the city provided him with enough nourishment to further enhance his physical strength.

While Li Changsheng went into seclusion, Zhongyang City gradually returned to stability.

This battle also made many practitioners wealthy.

In particular, the three major families have collected a large number of monster corpses.

These monsters can be used in medicine and elixirs, or crafted into magical artifacts; they are excellent resources for cultivation.

It was only those independent cultivators who suffered, lacking background and resources, that ended up as food for monsters.

The competition among the three factions was not interrupted as a result.

After three days of recuperation, the Changchun team recovered and continued the competition.

The cultivators in the city watched as before; the arrival of the monsters did not affect them.

Niu Wendao remained assertive; ever since defeating Changchun, this calf had forgotten what humility meant.

Of course, the main reason was his master.

Changchun was defeated without a fight, saying that among fellow disciples, harmony should not be damaged and he was willing to admit defeat.

Everyone knows that Changchun is no match for them; saying this is just a matter of saving face.

Niu Wendao overpowered Qingxuan Cave Heaven, fought continuously, and defeated one faction.

Without rest, he fought the disciples of Shuiyue Cave Heaven again, still dominating and completely crushing them.

Among those of the same level, he could not find a match that could withstand a single blow, until he met Mo Xuanming.

Mo Xuanming's illusion technique was superb; a single flute-shaped magical artifact, enhanced by illusion arrays from three different schools, astonished everyone.

The calf almost didn't realize it, but ultimately used his powerful spiritual energy to forcefully break the illusion.

In the end, unable to stop in time, he injured Mo Xuanming.

However, to everyone's surprise, Mo Xuanming was poisoned!

Niu Wendao's iron rod is imbued with the Moon Demon King's unique and deadly poison!

In an instant, everyone was convinced that the Moon Gazing Demon King had come to seek the Dao from the Ox.

Elder Gu Hengtong was about to suppress him on the spot, but unexpectedly, Niu Wendao was prepared and escaped underground, disappearing without a trace.

咚咚

The knocking on the door startled Li Changsheng awake.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyue, is it another monster?" Li Changsheng asked, as he still had a lot of his blood and flesh essence left to digest.

"Niu Wendao is in trouble; the whole city is looking for him." Liu Qingyue said solemnly, "I've come to ask you, has he come looking for you?"

"Niu Wendao, something happened?" Li Changsheng was taken aback. "What happened?"

"His magical artifact contained the Moon Demon King's unique and deadly poison. He injured Mo Xuanming on the arena, but with Elder Gu Hengtong's intervention, he escaped underground."

"The Moon-Gazing Demon King's deadly poison? It injured Mo Xuanming?"

Li Changsheng was stunned. This was a lot of information, and he couldn't process it all at once.

What's wrong with you, you little calf? How did you get involved with the Moon Gazing Demon King?
