681. Not Good! Venerable White and Shuhang Have Been Captured!

"Is this a scout mission? Heh, quite cautious indeed." Lay Buddhist Xian Gong chuckled lightly. "Everyone, pay attention, the appetizer is here! They're all third and Fourth-Grade little devils. Which fellow Daoist is willing to join me in annihilating this group of demons?"

The traps he laid and the hidden helpers he had prepared cannot be easily exposed. They are meant to deal with the bigger fish later. Therefore, let's snipe these scouts in mid-air!

No sooner had Lay Buddhist Xian Gong finished speaking than a hidden master stepped forward.

"Then I will accompany Brother Xian Gong to annihilate these little fellows." A plump cultivator stepped forward with a smile.

He carried a huge steamer on his back, and when he emerged from his concealed state, a large amount of hot steam billowed out of the steamer. The steam rose to a height of about one meter and then paused, condensing without dissipating.

This is a fellow Daoist of Lay Buddhist Xian Gong— [Lay Buddhist Rice Cake], Fifth-Grade Realm. You can tell from his Daoist name that he is an Immortal Chef.

However, he is the fighter among Immortal Chef. Every Immortal Chef who can fight will have one or two special skills or talents that make them difficult to defend against.

"Count me in too, I'm itching to do it, and lying in wait isn't my style." Another cultivator appeared.

She wore simple cloth clothes, had short blue hair with long bangs that covered her eyes— Lay Buddhist Flying Fish, she was a Fifth-Grade Great Demon.

Lay Buddhist Flying Fish is quite famous among female cultivators in the Cultivation World; in some ways, she is infamous.

She is female, and her hobbies... are also female.

"Then, my two fellow Daoists, help me wipe out these scum in one fell swoop," said Lay Buddhist Xian Gong with a smile.

Xian Gong was in an exceptionally good mood— the Nine Nether Demons had arrived, could the Dragon Demon be far behind?

Come on, come on!

My trap is itching for a bite!

After the fifty Nine Nether Demons reached the outskirts of the Vacation Manor, they paused.

Three figures appeared out of thin air before them, blocking their path.

It was a human cultivator, and also contained the aura of a demon.

The Third-Grade Nine Nether Demons let out a low roar.

Whether human cultivators or demons, anyone not from the Nine Netherworld Realm is an enemy. And if they are enemies, the only options are to tear them apart or capture them and bring them back to the Nine Netherworld Realm for dual cultivation.

Several Lay Buddhist Xian Gong -Fourth-Grade demons stared intently at the three men, realizing that they were not easy to deal with.

However, before the ten Fourth-Grade Fiend could give the order, the forty Third-Grade demons behind them suddenly pounced on them in a frenzy.

The Fourth-Grade Fiend was taken aback. The Third-Grade demons should have been under their control, but they hadn't given the order yet. Why had the Third-Grade demon suddenly gone berserk?

But at this point, they had no time to think and could only passively charge forward.

At this moment, the Lay Buddhist Rice Cake stepped forward and stood at the very front. The steamer on his back opened, and countless sticky rice cakes sprayed out from it.

The Lay Buddhist Rice Cake is best at making are not just for eating.

The rice cakes fell like raindrops among the demons, sticking to their bodies as if they were alive, immobilizing them.

"Now it's up to Xian Gong and Fellow Daoist Fei Yu." After showing off his Lay Buddhist Rice Cake stopped.

"Leave it to me." In an instant, the Lay Buddhist Flying Fish landed among the demons, dozens of small knives appearing in her hands as she swiftly began to kill.

Lay Buddhist Flying Fish's greatest strength lies in her speed; in the blink of an eye, nearly twenty of the fifty Nine Nether Demons have been slain.

Her speed had already reached the limit of the Fifth-Grade, and was even no slower than some newly promoted Sixth-Grade True Lord.

The helpers invited by Lay Buddhist Xian Gong were there to besiege the Sixth-Grade 'Dragon Demon'. If they didn't have the corresponding strength and methods, why would the layman have asked for their help?

To deal with Sixth-Grade Dragon Demon, especially Dragon Demon strengthened by the corrupting power of the Netherworld, an ordinary Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor would have little help.

Only Fifth-Grade cultivators with at least the Golden Core Seven-Dragon Patterns from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', or those with special abilities like 'Lay Buddhist Rice Cake', can provide assistance to Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

As the demons fell one after another, a Third-Grade demon among the slaughtered Nine Nether Demons smirked.

[It's confirmed... there are only these three cultivators. There are some interfering formations on the ground... but I've checked carefully and found no other helpers. One is Sixth-Grade, and two are Fifth-Grade cultivators. Although they have some special abilities, they are definitely no match for the six of us.] The demon sneered inwardly.

This Third-Grade demon was actually a Sixth-Grade True Lord -level cave master in disguise.

It actually mingled among the vanguard's cannon fodder to obtain firsthand intelligence.

--It's a pity. If it were facing other human cultivators, it would likely have detected the traps and formations below, as well as the hidden experts.

But it was facing Lay Buddhist Xian Gong!

In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, when it comes to the ability of 'formation', Xian Gong is definitely in the top five, a super formation expert!

After the array was set up by Lay Buddhist Xian Gong, the Sixth-Grade cave master demon couldn't detect anything amiss. It didn't even notice the 'helper' whose aura was concealed by the array set up by Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

[If this is all there is to it, then crush these humans! Plunder them!] The True Lord- level Cave Master clenched its claws and detonated a signal flare.

As soon as this signal flare is released, the other five cave masters and their elite subordinates will quickly rush over.

At the same time, this cave master, who was at the True Lord level, took action.

Just now, it had already locked onto Song Shuhang, the 'remnant of the Vajra Temple,' in the valley not far away. And... the Willow Tree Demon of the Dragon Cave Master!

After pinpointing the location, the demonic cave master's body swelled up, transforming into a four-headed serpent engulfed in black flames.

The rice cakes that were originally stuck to his body were instantly burned to ashes by the evil fire.

At the same time, the cave master swept its tail, engulfing the two Fourth-Grade Fiend beside it and melting away their bindings. But it wasn't trying to save these two Fourth-Grade Fiend —they weren't its subordinates.

After it grabbed the two demons, it threw them forcefully towards Lay Buddhist Xian Gong.

If this Sixth-Grade- rank human expert were to get entangled with it before the other cave masters arrived, it would be very troublesome. Moreover, it had no intention of getting entangled with this human True Lord.

Its sole objective is to steal credit.

It needs to capture or kill the 'remnant of the Vajra Temple's first, so that when it returns to 'Rebirth Mountain', it will naturally get the lion's share of the reward.

Capture him alive if possible, the reward will be even greater!

Lay Buddhist Xian Gong stretched out his hand and made a single stroke in the air, forming an array.

Two fiery arrays appeared out of thin air, engulfing and swallowing the two demons thrown at him.

At that very moment, the four-headed serpent demon swept past the Lay Buddhist Xian Gong and rushed towards the valley.

"There's actually a Sixth-Grade demon hiding among the cannon fodder." Lay Buddhist Xian Gong frowned, but those four giant snakes weren't Dragon Demon.

Lay Buddhist Xian Gong quickly sent a Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission to Northern River's Loose Cultivator, True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey, and others, informing them that the Sixth-Grade, four-headed serpent demon was rushing towards the valley.

The layperson himself did not pursue the demon.

He looked at the signal flares spreading through the air—what era is this? Still using such an outdated way to transmit signals? Couldn't they use a spell that could Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission?

Oh... right, the other party is a demon from the Netherworld. Neither wireless devices nor the Thousand-Mile Voice Transmission of cultivators work very well in the Netherworld.

It's understandable that the other party used a relatively old method of communication.

Now that the signal has been sent... then their reinforcements must be arriving soon, right?

Speaking of reinforcements, it must be the Dragon Demon!

Lay Buddhist Xian Gong became very excited.

"All fellow Daoists, are you ready? The target is approaching. We must ensure it never returns!" Lay Buddhist Xian Gong said solemnly.

Let the fellow Daoists in the valley deal with that Four-Headed Snake Demon.

******************************

The Four-Headed Snake Demon unleashed its fastest speed, soaring into the sky above the valley.

As it darted into the valley, it witnessed a spectacular battle between ferocious beasts.

A Fish Demon with Flood Dragon Bloodline is battling a pack of Snow Wolf.

Both sides fought a bloody battle, covered in wounds...

On the edge of the battle between the two ferocious beasts, a cultivator dressed in a Daoist robe screamed and fell to the ground.

This human cultivator is truly pitiful.

But then, the Four-Headed Snake Demon's eyes were glued to the fallen human cultivator.

What a handsome man! Such a person should only exist in heaven and should never appear on earth.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon discovered that its once-dead 'heart' had begun to beat again.

Ah~ just because I glanced at you in the crowd~ I can never forget your face~

In just one glance, only one glance, the cultivator's handsome appearance was deeply imprinted in its mind. All four of its heads were sending the same message—get him, this human cultivator, the spoils of war, get him!

"You foolish beasts, get out of my way!" The Four-Headed Snake Demon descended, its four heads flying and its tail lashing wildly.

While Yu Jiaojiao and the Snow Wolf Cave Master's family were acting, they were completely dumbfounded when the Four-Headed Snake Demon slapped them away.

Then, the Four-Headed Snake Demon's tail gently coiled around the unconscious Venerable White on the ground.

Fellow Daoists such as Northern River's Loose Cultivator, True Lord Ancient Lake Abbey, and Fairy Lychee twitched at the corners of their mouths.

"And you, remnant of the Vajra Temple!" The Four-Headed Snake Demon's eyes then fell on Song Shuhang.

One of his heads suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Song Shuhang as well.

The speed of Sixth-Grade True Lord was incredibly fast; Shuhang had no power to resist and was thus swept up.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon glanced at the group of 'weak' cultivators in the distance and smiled smugly.

Normally, he would have crushed them and killed all these weak human cultivators.

But today it's in a good mood, having acquired an incomparably handsome cultivator—these weaker cultivators can be left to the other cave masters.

Hahahaha.

The next moment, the Four-Headed Snake Demon soared into the sky, grabbing the unconscious Venerable White and the bewildered Song Shuhang, and flew upwards...
