Blessed Fortune

"Fellow Daoist Lü, I heard that you fought a powerful demon here and severely injured him?"

Inside the pavilion, Fang Zelin and his partner took their seats.

Fang Zelin didn't stand on ceremony and directly inquired about the rumors he had heard before.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Lü nodded, "He was indeed severely injured, but he hid in the county seat and disappeared without a trace. No matter what methods I use, I cannot track him down."

"The old Daoist priest found it strange and even asked the City God for help, but after searching the entire area thoroughly, they still couldn't find the great demon."

"Logically speaking, this demon was severely injured, so finding it should have been a piece of cake, but..."

Daoist Lü also found this extremely strange.

He was genuinely puzzled; where had that great demon gone? Why was it so difficult to find?

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but frown.

Having suffered severe injuries, one would expect Yao Qi to leak out and become unable to conceal it.

If one wants to recover faster, one needs to consume human Essence Blood, but Daoist Lü did not find such a thing when he was searching.

The great demon seemed to have vanished into thin air.

"Could it be that he succumbed to his injuries and died somewhere?"

Upon seeing this, Zhenke couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

If a powerful demon is seriously injured, its Yao Qi will be difficult to conceal; how could it not be found?

Surely he couldn't just die outright, could he?

"To be able to fight Master Lü to this extent, how could one die so easily?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin was the first to shake his head.

Based on the description he heard, the great Divine Ability was quite powerful, and his escape after being outmatched did not necessarily mean he was doomed.

If it really comes to that, this great demon might even try to eat people to restore its Law Power.

"Perhaps this great demon has some means of concealing itself, which is why it was so difficult to find."

Daoist Lü chimed in, adding that he was the same as Fang Zelin.

They couldn't believe the other person had died like that.

Upon hearing this, a group of disciples from Jade Void Mountain frowned.

"If this demon is not eliminated, we cannot get around it. Once we leave, this hidden great demon will surely reappear and cause trouble."

All the cultivators knew the reason, and they naturally felt troubled at this moment.

"Disciples of Jade Void Mountain, search the city carefully. Since this demon is seriously injured, he must have left some clues. Look diligently."

Fang Zelin pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Yes, disciple obeys!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Jade Void Mountain immediately clasped their hands in response.

At this moment, Zhenke also clasped her hands in response.

"Even if they haven't found them by 5 AM, they must return, in pairs."

"Yes."

The disciples of Jade Void Mountain accepted the order and departed.

Seeing the disciples of Jade Void Mountain leaving one after another, Daoist Lü turned around to look.

"Fellow Daoist, have you heard of the Demon Race Demon King Wu, who led the Demon Race this year?"

"The Demon King Wu?"

Fang Zelin frowned. "Is it that demon king who stirred up trouble back in the Great Zhou Dynasty and then secretly escaped?"

Fang Zelin had heard Xuan Yi recount the events of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Among them were several demon kings from that time.

Among them, the one called the Demon King Wu was the most cunning. He only showed himself in the final battle, fought a few rounds, and then fled.

"It was him. I learned this information from that great demon when I fought him. The Demon King Wu disappeared after that battle, devouring a lot of the Human Race's fortune."

"Now that they've returned with renewed vigor, their strength is likely vastly different from before."

Fang Zelin frowned deeply upon hearing this. This guy had appeared again?

And just as the other party said, after that incident, they didn't know how much Human Race Karmic Fortune they had absorbed.

Now that they've returned, their strength should be vastly different from before.

Already a thousand-year-old demon, and with hundreds more years of arduous cultivation, this level of strength...

"If they come, then let's attack together and kill them. This Demon King Wu must be addicted to absorbing the Human Race Karmic Fortune!"

Fang Zelin snorted coldly, already realizing that this guy had tasted success and was now making a comeback.

"That's absolutely right! This great demon caused a ruckus here hundreds of years ago, and now it's come back with renewed force. It clearly doesn't take us cultivators seriously and treats this place like its own backyard!"

The old Daoist priest was also filled with anger.

Even the usually composed Daoist Daoist Lü was now enraged.

He must have been thinking of the scenes of cultivators fighting against the Demon Race race during the Great Zhou and Great Xia dynasties, which filled him with rage.

"If that's the case, then the Demon King Wu might be located in the Hang River Circuit. Qingyun's divination, this place is filled with Yao Qi, indicating the presence of a powerful demon."

The map was given to them by Daoist Priest Qingyun. They each followed the route, clearing away the demons along the way, and headed straight for Hang River Circuit.

All that's needed is to clean up the demons in the Hang River Circuit, and then we can restore a bright and clear world to the earth.

"That should be the case. Since we're just sitting here anyway, why don't we look around Guyuan Commandery together? Perhaps we can find that great demon."

"If we don't eliminate this powerful demon, we'll likely delay our journey."

Daoist Lü stood up and looked around.

Actually, he had already wasted a lot of time. After fighting the great demon, he had stayed here for so long and hadn't been able to find it.

If this continues, things won't look good.

"Alright, let's search all over Guyuan Commandery then."

Fang Zelin nodded in agreement, and then he and the other party began searching all over Guyuan Commandery.

He wanted to see where this wounded demon was hiding.

It's impossible for so many disciples of Jade Void Mountain to search together; they still won't find it.

The world is in a state of moral decay, compared to other places.

Guyuan Commandery was considered a fairly well-governed place. Although some refugees could be seen around the area, they could still find food there.

Upon witnessing this scene, Daoist Lü joked with Fang Zelin beside him that if this place hadn't been well-managed, his old bones might not have any food to eat.

Fang Zelin was somewhat surprised and asked if the other person hadn't practiced the Grain Avoidance Technique.

Daoist Lü laughed heartily, "Although the Grain Avoidance Technique can enable cultivators to Grain Avoidance, it doesn't suit this old Daoist. I'm traveling around looking for a disciple, and getting some food along the way is also part of my cultivation."

There are three thousand Great Dao, each with its own way of cultivation.

Fang Zelin agreed with this point.

"Judging from this, if Wu Cunyi were to seize the throne, he might be a wise ruler."

Fang Zelin looked around and then said something.

Daoist Lü nodded slightly, "It's a pity that this person was ultimately outmaneuvered. However, to be able to govern an entire prefecture in such a way is indeed a stroke of good fortune."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to see this old Daoist priest and thus avoid this calamity."

Daoist Lü now also realizing what was happening.

Wu Cunyi being able to meet him must be quite fortunate.
