You Think You're Guan Yu or Something?
That's terrifying! The Dragon Cave Master is Sixth-Grade Realm and possesses the body of Dragon Demon. His combat power is among the top in the Sixth-Grade Realm! But such a powerful Dragon Cave Master was turned into a meat skewer by a single sword strike in a single exchange.
The Tree Demon Qingwu, was terrified: [What is the cultivation level of this gentle master? Why is the Dragon Cave Master, Sixth-Grade Realm, completely powerless against him?]
"Don't be afraid, I didn't come to the Netherworld to deal with you. I was just flying too fast on my Sword Flight and had a little accident, which resulted in me wandering into the Netherworld." Venerable White waved to the Willow Tree Demon, comforting her, and then asked, "By the way, Willow Tree Demon, do you know how to leave the Netherworld?"
--Speaking of which, this is Venerable White's first time entering the Netherworld. He doesn't know much about the Netherworld.
The Tree Demon Qingwu and said, "You can leave from the same place you came in."
"Oh, I see, thank you." Venerable White smiled and said, "By the way, I also have to thank you for the flying sword made from tree branches. The material is excellent, and I find it very easy to use. The speed of Sword Flight is no less than that of my natal flying sword."
The Tree Demon Qingwu: "..."
After greeting the Willow Tree Demon, Venerable White looked at the Muscle Dragon Demon strung on the tip of his 'Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition'.
The Muscle Dragon Demon remained in a crossed-fist position, pierced by the sword energy. The sword energy passed through the Muscle Dragon Demon's arms and pierced his chest, embedding it in the tip of the sword. At this moment, the Muscular Dragon was struggling incessantly, trying to break free from the Venerable White's sword.
However, the Venerable White's sword energy was imbued with a power similar to 'purification,' the same power that the Willow Tree Demon had come into contact with before.
This purifying power would forcefully expel the 'Nine Netherworld Filth Energy' from the Muscle Dragon Demon's body. Not only that, it would also weaken the evil spirits of the Nine Netherworld. Even though the Dragon Cave Master was already at the Sixth-Grade Realm, he became weak and powerless after this 'purifying' power pierced his body directly. The Dragon Cave Master was completely powerless to break free from the sword tip.
"Huh? It's actually a Dragon Demon?" Venerable White exclaimed in surprise, smelling the scent of the Dragon Cave Master's blood.
This seemingly strong, short, dragon-shaped Evil Beast was actually Dragon Demon from the Outer Heavenly Demon realm.
Outer Heavenly Demon, and a fiend from the Netherworld at that—we should definitely eliminate it!
Then, Venerable White lightly stepped on the flying sword beneath his feet with his right foot, and a burst of Sword Intent erupted.
The Sword Intent slashed directly into the Dragon Demon's body.
[Fossil!]
The next moment, the Dragon Demon's body stiffened, and a layer of amber-colored substance emerged from its body, instantly enveloping it and turning it into a giant amber fossil.
The amber fossil was thus solidified on the tip of the Disposable Flying Sword.
The Dragon Cave Master's life force rapidly dissipated... Not only the Dragon Demon's body, but also the 'Possession Bug' deep within it, turned into part of the amber fossil, its body and soul vanished.
The powerful 'Master of Rebirth Mountain and Evil Dragon Cave' died before even leaving his home, his mission unfinished.
"Lord Long Qianjun!" the Tree Demon Qingwu cried out in surprise.
Long Qianjun is the real name of the 'Dragon Cave Master'. When Possession Bug, he was called Baijun. After possessing the Dragon Demon, he changed his name to 'Long Qianjun'!
"Huh? You know this Dragon Demon?" Venerable White turned around and looked at the Willow Tree Demon.
The Willow Tree Demon spirit turned deathly pale, then she resolutely shook her head forcefully. "No, I don't know him at all."
True Lord White Crane sneered, "But you just called out its name, Cave Master Long Qianjun. Hmph! Senior White, this Willow Tree Demon is indeed problematic. Let me chop her into firewood."
"No!" The Willow Tree Demon was terrified. She pulled her roots out of the ground in the Nine Netherworld, then soared into the air and fled into the distance! Although she had not yet Transformation, she had already condensed Demon Core and was a great demon of the Fifth-Grade. She could walk on air.
But... how could she, unable to Sword Flight, compare to the six-winged True Lord White Crane?
With a powerful flap of his wings, the True Lord White Crane appeared beside the Willow Tree Demon in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, True Lord White Crane unleashed a palm strike with his right hand.
Snap!
The Willow Tree Demon was sent flying backward, landing in front of Venerable White.
The True Lord White Crane's figure flashed once more, instantly appearing beside the Willow Tree Demon Qingwu. It formed a sword with its fingers, intending to chop the Willow Tree Demon into firewood.
"White Crane, wait a moment," Venerable White called out to stop him.
True Lord White Crane immediately stopped his sword aura and looked at Venerable White with a puzzled expression. "What are your orders, Senior White?"
"I feel a connection with her, so I'll spare her life. Take her back... and then find a way to purify the 'Netherworld Energy' within her." Venerable White stroked his chin and added, "That way, if I want to create 'Disposable Flying Sword' in the future, I'll have a continuous supply of excellent tree branches. Perhaps I can research a new series of flying swords, the Disposable Willow Tree Demon series?"
The Tree Demon Qingwu: "..."
Damn it, give me back my feelings of being touched!
She was already deeply moved by the first half of the sentence, wishing she could give herself to this 'gentle and powerful adult,' but the second half of the sentence plunged her from Paradise to hell.
True Lord White Crane: "As expected of Senior White, you have profound foresight!"
So he used his magic to tie up the Willow Tree Demon and hang it from the back of the 'Single-Use Flying Sword 004 Edition'.
Willow Tree Demon Qingwu felt utterly hopeless.
"Hold on tight, we're heading back!" said Venerable White. He made a Sword Formula, and Disposable Flying Sword carrying three 'people' shot towards the spatial rift ahead, pushing against the 'Muscle Dragon Demon'.
It flies very fast.
The willow branch demon felt her roots were going a little soft, but fortunately, she was Fifth-Grade Great Demon, so she could grit her teeth and hold on at this speed.
But two breaths later...
The Venerable White thought to himself, "[I'm getting hungrier and hungrier... I should speed things up a bit.]"
Then, he made a Sword Formula, increasing the speed of the flying sword by more than five times!
As True Lord, True Lord White Crane was able to withstand this speed.
But the Tree Demon, suspended by magical ropes behind her, finally couldn't take it anymore. She had never experienced such a violent speed of flight. Moreover, she was being dragged along by the ropes, experiencing all sorts of terrifying moments during the flight.
"Aaaaaahhhhh!" The Tree Demon's scream was like a dolphin's cry, its volume remaining high.
******************************
On the other side.
Not far from Yu Jiaojiao's villa in the Jiangnan Region, there is a sparsely populated road with no surveillance cameras.
A silver-white Wuling Hongguang van quietly appeared and then drove onto the highway without any apparent reason.
Inside the car, a man with a flushed face whistled softly. "No He Ren noticed, very good."
"Our target is Yu Jiaojiao's villa, let's go." The red-faced man chuckled and sped off in his domestically produced Wuling Hongguang minivan on the highway.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he drives a Wuling Hongguang; in reality, this Wuling Hongguang is a cultivator's "Immortal Ark"—it can fly in the sky, travel on highways, and dive underwater—it's incredibly powerful.
The Wuling Hongguang's exterior is just a disguise he created; it doesn't attract much attention when driving on the road normally.
The ruddy-faced man was driving, whistling, and they were about to arrive at Song Shuhang's place!
As I was driving, I suddenly came across a traffic police checkpoint ahead, seemingly checking for drunk driving.
In recent years, with the increasing number of private cars, traffic accidents have become more frequent. And drunk driving is now being strictly investigated. Traffic police officers checking for drunk driving appear and disappear unpredictably; no one knows where they'll be checking next.
The red-faced man didn't pay any attention and calmly drove past.
Then... his car was stopped. There were three or four cars in front of him, and they were all being checked one by one—basically, blowing into a microphone-like device.
After the first few drivers were checked, it was soon the turn of the red-faced man.
He rolled down his window and pulled out his driver's license. Before he could even speak, the young traffic policeman beside him said, "Please show me your driver's license... Tsk, you've had quite a bit to drink, haven't you?"
The red-faced man handed over his driver's license, then paused, stunned. "Huh?"
"Stop playing dumb, your face is all red." The young traffic policeman sneered. He glanced at the driver's license; the name field read "[Xian Gong]." Surname Xian, given name Gong? That's a strange name. The young traffic policeman then pulled out the microphone-like device and handed it over.
"It's natural, I was born with a red face!" the red-faced man retorted angrily.
"Heh, do you think you're Guan Yu? Born with a red face? Keep bragging. These days, if you've been drinking, you can't escape the check. Your excuses are useless." The young traffic policeman handed over the breathalyzer.
The red-faced man took it and blew on it forcefully.
Then...
"Huh? He really hasn't been drinking?" the young traffic policeman exclaimed in surprise. It wasn't the first time he'd caught a drunk driver, but he'd never seen a man like this, his face so red, yet he hadn't been drinking. Was this blushing natural? And it looked exactly like the flushing one gets from drinking alcohol.
"See? This is natural, natural, you understand?" The red-faced man wanted to spit all over the young traffic policeman's face.
So what if I blush? Does blushing mean I should be discriminated against?!
The young traffic policeman felt particularly embarrassed and let him go.
The red-faced man, looking dejected, continued driving his Wuling Hongguang towards Yu Jiaojiao's house.
[I keep running into DUI checks along the way... I have a feeling my luck isn't so good today.] Lay Buddhist Xian Gong thought to himself. -- Yes, this red-faced man is Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.
[Hopefully, my 'Dragon Demon' won't run into any problems. I don't want my friend Song Shuhang to be attacked by the Dragon Demon before I even arrive! No, I need to speed up and get to Song Shuhang's side quickly. I absolutely cannot let the Dragon Demon escape or fall into someone else's hands!]
Soon, Lay Buddhist Xian Gong arrived at Yu Jiaojiao's villa.
"This is it." Lay Buddhist Xian Gong got out of the car and saw that Yu Jiaojiao's villa was intact—it seemed that the 'Dragon Demon' hadn't arrived yet.
That would be perfect.
