Daoist Lü

The Great Jin Dynasty was in complete chaos.

After killing many demons in Yining County, Fang Zelin, along with his disciples from Jade Void Mountain, headed towards Hang River Circuit.

Along the way, you can see many homeless people everywhere.

Passing through several villages, I saw that the villagers had contracted the plague.

Fortunately, disciples from Jade Void Mountain arrived and used talismans to cure the plague.

A month later, winter had arrived, and Fang Zelin led the disciples of Jade Void Mountain to a place called Guyuan Commandery.

"Senior, Guyuan Commandery is just ahead. The vassal king here is powerful and protects the area well. Recently, many people have fled here."

Xuanyang looked at the map and then spoke to Fang Zelin.

For the past month, everyone has been sleeping outdoors, and now they all look travel-worn and exhausted.

Fang Zelin stared intently towards Guyuan Commandery. Along the way, this place had a rare sense of cleanliness and peace.

Are there no fairies here?

Fang Zelin replied upon hearing this.

"The map my master gave me says there are demons here, but we asked around on the way here and didn't hear anything about demons. It's really strange."

Daoist Priest Qingyun has quite a bit of experience in divination.

Following the directions given by the other party, they had already eliminated quite a few demons along the way.

Logically speaking, if Daoist Priest Qingyun said there were demons in this place, then he should be right.

Why didn't I hear anything about it when I asked around on the way?

With this in mind, Fang Zelin immediately summoned the local Day Wandering God.

A moment later, the Day Wandering God appeared in front of Fang Zelin.

"The Day Wandering God of Guyuan Commandery greets the Immortal Master!"

Upon seeing Fang Zelin, the Day Wandering God immediately bowed.

"You're too kind. I, Fang, have come here to exorcise a demon. I had heard that a demon had been lurking in Guyuan Commandery, causing many deaths. But why is it that the demon is nowhere to be seen here?"

Fang Zelin didn't waste any words and went straight to asking about the matter.

"Previously, there was indeed a powerful demon causing trouble in Guyuan Commandery, but then a Daoist priest appeared, and the two fought for hundreds of rounds. It seems that the powerful demon was injured and fled."

"It seems that he is still hiding in Guyuan Commandery, because that Daoist priest is still in Guyuan Commandery, perhaps wanting to eliminate this great demon completely."

Fang Zelin was slightly taken aback by the words of the Day Wandering God. "There are Daoist priests in Guyuan Commandery?"

"Yes, but that Daoist priest's whereabouts are mysterious. No one in the Underworld Bureau has seen him. However, the commotion during the duel that day was so great that it was heard by half the county."

"I vaguely heard that the Daoist priest's surname was Lü."

The Day Wandering God recounted the situation at that time.

After thanking the Day Wandering God, Fang Zelin looked towards Guyuan Commandery and pondered for a moment.

"Let's go in and take a look. Since there's only one powerful demon here, and it's severely injured, it won't matter if we disturb it when we enter the county seat. It might just make it reveal its true colors."

"By the way, I'd also like to pay my respects to this fellow Daoist."

Fang Zelin said something to the crowd, then walked towards the seat of Guyuan Commandery.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Jade Void Mountain behind them all beamed with joy, realizing they could finally take a break.

After a month of constant battles, they were starting to feel a bit exhausted.

If we could find a place to rest, that would be the best thing.

Led by Fang Zelin, about twenty disciples followed him into the prefectural capital.

Fang Zelin didn't rush to find that fellow Daoist, but instead led his disciples to an inn first.

Two disciples shared a room, while Fang Zelin had a room to himself.

Then he asked the waiter to prepare hot water.

"Go and take a bath. Dinner will be downstairs in half an hour."

Fang Zelin said something to the disciples of Jade Void Mountain, then turned and walked towards his room.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Jade Void Mountain were overjoyed and headed towards the room.

But no one noticed the hint of pain that flashed across Fang Zelin's face as he turned away.

He had forgotten that he only had less than ten taels of silver left.

After settling the disciples of Jade Void Mountain at the inn and having a meal later, it will cost quite a bit.

If he runs into any more trouble on the way, he'll really be broke.

"No, we need to be more careful with our expenses from now on."

We can't run out of money before we even reach the Hang River Circuit.

Feeling his empty pockets, Fang Zelin sighed, turned around, and went back to his room to take a shower.

The clothes still need to be washed by the laundry lady.

With his pockets flat, Fang Zelin would probably have already gone to get a new set of clothes by now.

Half an hour later, all the disciples of Jade Void Mountain had arrived downstairs.

They sat properly at the table, occupying three tables, waiting for Fang Zelin to order.

Each table ordered seven or eight side dishes, which cost Fang Zelin nearly one tael of silver.

"After you finish eating, Xuanyang, you should take a few people and go around asking around to see if you can get any useful information."

The disciples of Jade Void Mountain had all changed into neat clothes, and just sitting here, they exuded a refreshing aura.

Putting aside other factors, the disciples of Jade Void Mountain are mostly characterized by their sword-like eyebrows and square faces, and their demeanor exudes an extremely upright air.

His blue outer robe gave him an even more upright appearance.

The sight of about twenty people sitting there drew frequent glances from those nearby.

"Yes!"

Xuanyang was already fully aware of the matter, and upon hearing this, he quickly responded.

"I'll go find that Daoist Lü."

Listening to what the Day Wandering God said, this Daoist Lü's supernatural Divine Ability are extraordinary; I must go and see for myself.

Also, inquire about that powerful demon.

"Are you also here to find that Immortal Lü?"

Upon hearing Fang Zelin's words, a diner at the next table couldn't help but chime in.

Fang Zelin perked up upon hearing this, "Do you know where he is?"

"Alas, how could we know? It's just that right now the entire county is searching for this immortal, from kings and nobles to ordinary people, who doesn't want to find this Immortal Lü?"

"I've heard that if you can find this Immortal Lü, you can obtain his Immortal Method and become emperor!"

Well.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Jade Void Mountain exchanged glances, then remained expressionless.

However, a hint of a smile couldn't be hidden in their eyes.

Putting everything else aside, they are all cultivators; how could they not know that this statement is obviously false?

Fang Zelin also knew that this was a lie.

That Daoist Lü is so mysterious; this rumor must have been fabricated by someone.

Furthermore, the Great Jin has now disintegrated, with various warlords vying for power.

It's probably just a rumor spread by the local lords themselves. They'll probably turn around and say they saw an immortal who bestowed upon them the power to make them emperors.

If word gets out that this is true, then even if he sweeps away all other rebel armies and seizes power, it will be perfectly legitimate.

After much thought, Fang Zelin felt that this was still quite possible.

However, this is not of much concern to him; finding the severely injured demon is the priority right now.
