Evening, in the mountains and forests.
The caravan moved forward, and the middle-aged martial artist riding at the front couldn't help but yawn. Then, he loosened the reins, stretched, and laughed loudly, "Brothers, we're almost to Jing City. Let's perk up and aim to finish before the Apricot Flower House closes. Tonight, we'll be drunk on the laps of beauties."
Hearing this, the other escorts cheered. They chatted about the most popular girls at the Apricot Flower House as they traveled.
The outline of Jing City was already faintly visible at the end of the mountain forest ahead.
Wooo-wooo-wooo—
A cry, like that of a human yet also like a beast, rang out, startling everyone into looking around.
"What's that sound?"
"Someone's crying?"
"No, that doesn't sound like a person. I've heard there are jackals and wolves in the nearby forests. Everyone, be careful."
"Jackals and wolves? Hahaha, if they dare come close, we'll have the Apricot Flower House's chef add to the menu tonight."
The escorts didn't care, but the middle-aged martial artist frowned. He was a First-Rate Expert with thirty years of experience traveling the world. He knew that the sound was neither human nor jackal.
Very dangerous!
The middle-aged martial artist slowly drew his blade. His actions made the other escorts serious, and they also drew their weapons, preparing for battle.
The caravan continued forward, but the pace had slowed, fearing that enemies would leap out from the trees on either side.
After traveling about a hundred meters, it gradually grew dark.
The road ahead was already somewhat dim when a disheveled White-Clothed woman suddenly ran out of the forest on the left. Her hair was disheveled, and she fell to the ground as soon as she reached the official road, revealing her fair legs. In the dim environment, they were extremely conspicuous, causing many escorts to stare.
The White-Clothed woman looked up, revealing a delicate and pretty face. She looked terrified and cried out, "Big brothers, please help this little woman. There are snakes in the forest, and they scared me. This little woman's chest feels so tight, so blocked..."
Immediately, an escort spurred his horse forward, laughing, "Don't panic, miss. This brother will help you up."
The middle-aged martial artist suddenly raised his blade, blocking the escort's path, startling him into reining in his horse.
The escort turned his head and asked, "Boss, what's wrong?"
His eyes were resentful. Did the boss want to enjoy her all to himself?
"Something's wrong with her. She's very dangerous," the middle-aged martial artist said coldly.
The White-Clothed woman said plaintively, "Big brother, how am I dangerous? Please, come help me. I'm in so much pain."
The escorts didn't lose their heads. They chose to trust the middle-aged martial artist.
Seeing this, the White-Clothed woman's expression changed, and her face rapidly transformed into something like a wolf or a fox, extremely frightening, causing everyone's expression to change drastically. Before they could react, the White-Clothed woman suddenly rushed forward.
The middle-aged martial artist leaped up and slashed with his blade, the light of the blade flashing in the forest.
Bang!
The White-Clothed woman dodged his blade and struck his chest with a palm, shattering his sternum, causing him to cough up blood and fly backward.
A First-Rate Expert, defeated in one move!
This scene made the other escorts' hearts and livers crack. It was the first time they had seen their boss defeated so quickly.
They dismounted one after another, standing shoulder to shoulder, blocking the caravan, nervously watching the White-Clothed woman land. The White-Clothed woman turned her head, revealing a wolf's head, her smile sinister and cunning, making people's hearts palpitate.
"You are quite quick-witted, but you all must die."
The White-Clothed woman sneered and charged towards the guards again.
Whoosh—
A sound of air being torn apart came, and a wooden sword shot out from the forest, extremely fast. The White-Clothed woman subconsciously dodged, but her cheek was still cut.
"Evil creature, stop hurting people!"
A cold shout came, and a figure used qinggong, rapidly leaping on the trees, quickly approaching.
He landed in front of the guards, raised his hand, and the wooden sword miraculously fell into his hand.
This person was wearing a worn gray robe, carrying three scabbards on his back, his face was clean, quite inconsistent with his clothing. He held the wooden sword and, without saying a word, attacked the White-Clothed woman again.
The White-Clothed woman turned into a cloud of black gas, her white clothes falling to the ground. The black gas condensed into a wolf's head, roaring and rushing towards the gray-robed man.
The two sides fell into a fierce battle. The gray-robed man's wooden sword could obviously hurt the black wind wolf's head, causing the black wind wolf's head unable to get past him.
"You all leave quickly!"
The gray-robed man said in a deep voice. Hearing this, the guards suddenly woke up, immediately turned around, packed up the caravan, helped the middle-aged martial artist up, and hurried towards another road.
"It's you again, Lu Chengfeng, how long are you going to chase me?"
The black wind wolf's head made a woman's voice, her tone full of resentment.
Lu Chengfeng fought while saying, "Subduing demons and eliminating evil is the purpose of my sect. You evil creature has come all the way from the Western Regions, killing how many innocent people. Today, I have finally caught up with you, and I must eliminate you!"
"Humph, talking about subduing demons and eliminating evil, it's just that someone asked your Celestial Master Sect to offer a reward for my demon core!"
The black wind wolf's head sneered, then turned into scattered, turning into black mist to entangle Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng kept waving his sword, sword energy crisscrossing, cutting off trees in all directions, but he couldn't dispel the black mist.
"Absorbing so much mortal yang qi along the way, Lu Chengfeng, how can you compete with me?"
The black wind wolf's head laughed wildly, murderous intent filling this mountain forest.
The night was completely dark.
Lu Chengfeng continued to fight. As his true qi flowed away, he felt something was wrong. He wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to escape. This black mist seemed endless, obscuring his senses.
Puchi!
His left waist was suddenly cut open, blood splattering, and the blood made the black mist surge even more violently.
A terrible murderous aura locked onto Lu Chengfeng. He secretly thought something was wrong and was about to use his unique skill when his chest was hit hard, and his body flew out uncontrollably, hitting the hillside. Reverse blood couldn't stop gushing out of his throat.
"I didn't expect that I, Lu Chengfeng, would die in the hands of a wild animal in the mountains..."
Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth. He supported himself with the wooden sword, struggling to get up.
"Isn't this the fate of Celestial Master Sect martial artists? It's better than dying at the hands of a martial artist who is also a human!"
The black wind wolf's head's voice sounded again, full of ridicule in his words.
The black mist suddenly condensed into a wolf's head, appearing before him, opening its bloody maw, wanting to swallow him in one bite.
My life is over!
Lu Chengfeng widened his eyes, his heart filled with regret and unwillingness.
A piercing sound of air being torn apart came, and the black wind wolf's head before him directly exploded, sucked away by a golden light, that golden light quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Lu Chengfeng was stunned in place.
"What was that just now?"
Lu Chengfeng couldn't understand, he hadn't sensed any other aura, but he had seen it clearly.
He quickly sat down to circulate his energy, his gaze nervously looking in all directions, afraid it was some demon's trick.
Dragon Arising Temple, on a branch of the Earth Spirit Tree, Jiang Changsheng lay leaning against the tree trunk, appreciating the beautiful moonlight.
The corner of his mouth slightly raised, he saw a golden light appear in the bright moon, that golden light growing larger and larger, flying towards him at an extremely fast speed, he raised his hand to catch it, using two fingers to pinch the golden light.
This was a golden leaf, but the leaf's pattern closely resembled the arrangement of dragon scales, it was precisely the magical treasure Golden Scale Jade Leaf.
Jiang Changsheng flipped down and returned to his house.
He sat on the bed, releasing the demon from within the Golden Scale Jade Leaf, a gray wolf appeared on the ground, it saw Jiang Changsheng, subconsciously wanting to escape, but just as it turned its head, the Golden Scale Jade Leaf hung before it, scaring it into not daring to move.
The gray wolf turned its head, prostrated on the ground, its two paws covering its head, speaking in a human voice, nervously saying: "Senior, spare me... Senior, spare me... I won't dare again..."
It was actually a female voice, and quite pleasant.
Jiang Changsheng was amused by the other party's appearance, a wolf acting too much like a human, it was truly comical.
He opened his mouth and asked: "Why did you come to Jing City, don't tell me you were just passing by."
The gray wolf replied: "I came following the flow of heaven and earth spiritual energy, sensing that there must be heaven and earth treasures here."
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows, so it was attracted by the Earth Spirit Tree.
It was also normal, the spiritual energy produced by the Earth Spirit Tree was increasing, and it would also absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy when it grew, unlike martial artists practicing internal energy, tempering their physique, demon beasts cultivated by absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy.
"Introduce yourself." Jiang Changsheng said.
The gray wolf carefully revealed one eye, nervously staring at Jiang Changsheng, and said: "I am called Bai Qi, I am a wolf demon who has cultivated for a hundred years, I came from the Eastern Forest Dynasty, there is a human race expert who wants my demon core, offering a reward to the Celestial Master Sect to hunt me down, I fled all the way to this place..."
Celestial Master Sect?
Eastern Forest Dynasty?
Jiang Changsheng didn't know anything about it, so he asked one by one, and Bai Qi answered truthfully.
The Eastern Forest Dynasty was extremely far away, separated from the Jing Dynasty by four other dynasties, and the Celestial Master Sect belonged to a long-standing sect, specializing in eliminating demons.
"Does the Eastern Forest Dynasty and the Celestial Master Sect have any Golden Body Realm experts?" Jiang Changsheng asked.
Bai Qi's eyelids twitched, and said: "Senior, don't joke, Golden Body Realm, that is a legend, the expert who is wanted me in the Eastern Forest Dynasty can do anything, but he is just a God Person."
When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Alright!
He was really afraid that Golden Body Realm cultivators were as common as dogs and God Persons were everywhere in other dynasties, but on second thought, that was impossible. If they were that strong, the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower would have been annexed long ago.
"Do you know the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower?" Jiang Changsheng asked.
Bai Qi raised its head and said, "I know! It's a powerful dynasty that controls the rivers and mountains of the surrounding dynasties. So, senior comes from the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower. No wonder you're so powerful..."
It was about to step forward when the Golden Scale Jade Leaf appeared before its eyes, scaring it into a standstill.
Hearing this, Jiang Changsheng felt even more relieved.
The stronger the Great Vehicle Dragon Tower seemed, the more at ease he felt.
Jiang Changsheng sized up Bai Qi. This guy was a genuine God Heart Realm cultivator, and its demon core should be quite valuable; otherwise, a God Person wouldn't have sent people to chase it down from ten thousand li away.
Bai Qi pleaded, "Senior, please spare my life... I'll never absorb human yang energy again..."
Jiang Changsheng didn't kill it immediately, giving it a glimmer of hope.
Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, "How do you absorb human yang energy?"
Bai Qi said, "I just open my mouth and suck, how else would I do it?"
It seemed to think of something and said coquettishly, "Senior, don't misunderstand. My true form is just a wolf, how could I do such lewd things? I only need to knock people unconscious and open my mouth to their crown to absorb their yang energy."
Jiang Changsheng felt a little embarrassed, but his face remained unchanged.
He raised his hand and struck a Life and Death Seal into Bai Qi, saying, "Since you're here, guard this place for ten years. After ten years, I'll set you free, as your atonement. Here, you must not harm anyone, and you must not use your demon energy to transform into a human, understand?"
Bai Qi was extremely frightened, not understanding what the Life and Death Seal was, but the other party's true qi was exceptionally terrifying. It had never encountered such powerful true qi, not even from that God Person of the Eastern Forest Dynasty.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Senior..."
Bai Qi said in a low voice. Jiang Changsheng withdrew the Golden Scale Jade Leaf and then sat down to cultivate.
Seeing this, Bai Qi walked to the bedside and lay down, calming its mood.
[Zhenyu Year 5, the demon beast Bai Qi wanted to enter Jing City, but you successfully subdued it. You survived a calamity and received a survival reward - the miscellaneous skill 'Heavenly Object Pill Compendium']
Jiang Changsheng, who had his eyes closed, saw this prompt. It was actually a pill compendium. He was secretly delighted. He was proficient in Alchemy but had no pill compendium, so he usually had to explore on his own, and eight or nine times out of ten, he would fail.
With Bai Qi by his side, he couldn't immediately inherit the pill compendium, but there was no rush.
The next morning.
Jiang Changsheng brought Bai Qi to the courtyard. Wang Chen was very surprised to see Bai Qi and asked, "Daoist, where did you get this wolf? It's so handsome!"
Under the morning sunlight, Bai Qi's gray-white fur looked very glossy and extremely handsome.
Hearing Wang Chen's praise, Bai Qi proudly raised its head, but the next second its gaze was attracted by the White Dragon.
A snake demon!
No wonder I was able to survive. This Daoist actually likes to raise demons.
I have to be careful in the future. I hope he doesn't have any special hobbies.
Bai Qi thought to itself, its gaze following the Earth Spirit Tree, its eyes becoming dazed.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "I went out for a stroll last night and picked it up casually. From now on, it will stay here to guard the courtyard for us and play with White Dragon."
Wang Chen didn't think much about it and continued sweeping the floor.
At this moment, Ling Xiao ran into the courtyard and said anxiously, "Master, another Grandmaster has come to challenge you!"
