Book 1: Chapter 7: Zombie Demon |
Although he hasn’t advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage yet, after three thousand years of continuous training, Bai Qiuran’s Soul Awareness was very powerful.
His Soul Awareness has even reached a level where he could form the physicalized attack with his mind, which was even more terrifying than the average Immortal.
Standing in the Mang Mountain, his Soul Awareness spread out in all directions, and he easily found the location of the medicinal herbs he needed from the vast Mang Mountain.
In the meantime, he even encountered a huge black snake that was about to turn into a demon in a mountain stream. This man-eating snake wanted to swallow him, so it was chopped to death by his palm. By the way, he got a Demon Core in good condition, ready to be added to the pill to improve its effectiveness.
“Well, this is the last herb.”
On a cliff, Bai Qiuran picked a wonderful herb like a human heart from the rock wall, put it in his own storage bag, and then fell to the ground.
“Now the materials for my Foundation-Build Pill are complete, it’s the time to find the materials for Longevity Pill.”
In Bai Qiuran’s mind, Xue Ling’s dead face appeared, and his original good mood became a bit gloomy.
“Well, it’s really unpleasant. Why do other people live for three thousand years, they can jump out of the limit of the Underworld and live forever in carefree, but I live for three thousand years, yet I was pursed every year by the Soul Taker? The world is really unfair.”
Thinking of this, Bai Qiuran didn’t delay anymore, he packed his storage bags and left the cliff, but he still had a place to go before leaving the Mang Mountain.
As a member of the Qingming Sword Sect, if there were demons who harmed people, and, no matter how others evaluate them, Bai Qiuran couldn’t let it go.
Before scanning the mountain with Soul Awareness, he also found the demon’s nest. Before leaving, Bai Qiuran decided to take a trip and kill the demon, so that it would not be able to continue to devour people anymore. Moreover, just as the nest was placed in an area with heavy negative energy, there were a few herbs of refining Longevity Pill grew there, so he could reach two purposes with one effort.
The area of the Mang Mountain was hundreds of miles in radius. According to Bai Qiuran’s Soul Awareness scan, the demon was hiding more than a hundred miles away. In the past few days, while taking the herb leisurely, he has also monitored the movement of the demon with his Soul Awareness from time to time. If it went out to hurt people, Bai Qiuran decided to catch up with it and kill it before it could harm more people. But after a few days of observation, he found something strange. The demon’s hiding place was full of resentment ki and blood ki, and it also has many of these ki on its body. At the first glance, it’s true that many people have been eaten by the demon, but its frequency of eating did not seem to be as often as the rumors he heard before. When Bai Qiuran first found it with Soul Awareness, the demon seemed to have just hunted and was on the way back to its nest, but these days it has stayed in the nest. It looked like that before completely digesting the prey, it did not go out to attack people anymore, which was fundamentally different from the seemingly endless glutony described in rumors. Bai Qiuran felt that there was still something tricky behind this, but he was not in a hurry. After he killed the demon, when he went out, he just needed to ask if there was any demon attack in the nearby villages and towns, and the truth would be revealed. Thinking of this, Bai Qiuran no longer lingered on the road, his figure turned into a shadow, and the distance of more than a hundred miles soon arrived, near the demon’s lair. Here was a sparse woodland. The grass and trees in the forest have been eroded by resentment ki, and most of them have died. The remaining ones have all become ghostly and eccentric. Not far from the dead forest was a bare mountain peak with a strange rock formation. Below the peak was the lair of the demon, a deep cave that went straight to the ground. At the entrance of the cave, there were many white bones piled up, but when Bai Qiuran arrived, he noticed that there was still fresh blood on the entrance of the cave. Found that the situation seemed strange, Bai Qiuran’s footsteps stopped and he observed the situation for a moment. “This is…?” After a closer inspection, Bai Qiuran found that the trunk of this dead forest had traces of fighting left, and even some trees were chopped down and cut into two pieces. “Someone has come here? Still fighting?” This was also possible. Although Bai Qiuran has been monitoring the demon with his own Mind Power, after discovering the demon, in order to be lazy, he took back the Mind Power that originally covered the entire Mang Mountain, leaving only a bit that’s enough to lock on the demon. But just now, in order to hurry up, Bai Qiuran once again took all the Soul Awareness back. He was afraid that in the past few days, some martial artists gathered outside the mountain, went deep into the Mang Mountain from another direction, found the location of the demon, and then in the short moment when Bai Qiuran took back his Soul Awareness, they encountered and found the demon. As for the results, it’s obvious … Bai Qiuran glanced at several incomplete corpses in the deadwood forest. If they won, Bai Qiuran wouldn’t have to be here. Beeng! Beeng! In the cave, a fierce metal impact sounded. Hearing this sound, Bai Qiuran quickened his pace and hurried toward the cave. “There are still people alive, but from the sound, it sounds like they are in danger”, Bai Qiuran was a little worried. He remembered the young man who had walked along with himself. In the restaurant on the side of the road, when Tang Wei proposed that there was a demon in the Mang Mountain, Bai Qiuran had vaguely realized his intention. This male brother seems to have a lot of hostility towards the cultivators, but also has an inexplicable sense of responsibility for the boring situation of the people of Shangxuan Kingdom. He would not ask the cultivators for help, but he would not stand to see the civilians have been suffered by demons. Then there was only one way to fight against this demon: gather martial artists to attack it in a group. Bai Qiuran thought that he would get rid of this demon before Tang Wei started to act, but he didn’t expect that the immature boy was unexpectedly appealing and actionable. Bai Qiuran only separated from him for a few days, and this person completed the personnel convening. He collected a group of martial artists and came into the mountain to kill the demon. I hope he won’t die, otherwise, it would be a pity. Bai Qiuran speeded up his pace and instantly came into the cave from outside the dead forest. There were hundreds of square meters of underground caves. Bai Qiuran saw two Zombie Demons, whose bodies were messy and dilapidated. They were walking towards the only survivor in the cave, exactly who Bai Qiuran thought of: Tang Wei
