In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 120 What terrifying supernatural powers!

"It seems that your Golden Saintess is a coward, too afraid to come out because of my imposing presence!" Madam Black Snake mocked.

"Madam!" The eldest bear demon crawled over and knelt down: "Please, Madam, kill these little brats and avenge my second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh brothers!"

Lady Black Snake said, "Step back, and I will devour these fellows."

Their cultivation levels are not low. If she were to devour them, it would also benefit her. Wouldn't she be able to directly enter the ten-thousand-year realm then?
She straightened up, and the enormous snake head pressed down.

"Ha—" Blood seeped from the sharp fangs.

She lowered her head fiercely and arrogantly, intending to devour these fools who didn't know their own mortality.

Just as the snake's head was about to touch Jinwa and the others, a golden light flashed in the blood-red mist and struck her eye with a snap.

"Ha—" The giant snake screamed, rolled on the ground, and immediately resumed its original posture. She shouted angrily, "Who! Who dares to disturb this lady's meal? How dare you! Come out here, and this lady may have mercy and leave you with a whole corpse!"

"Lady Black Serpent, you have allowed your disciples to break the precepts and eat people, bully men and women, and disrupt the order of the human world. Now you have used the deadly poison in your body to kill the plants in the sixteen counties of the Northwest, cutting off all the paths to survival for mortals. You have also devoured the sky and disregarded the heavens. Such tyranny deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

Within the thick blood mist, a powerful aura brimming with spiritual energy emanated from an unknown direction.

Lady Black Snake was extremely surprised.

There is actually someone in this world more powerful than her.

Demon!

No! She didn't detect any demonic aura.

She is not a demon! However, there could never be such a powerful demon hunter in the human world.

"Who are you, hiding in the shadows like a thief? Are you too ugly to show your face?" Madam Black Snake continued to mock.

"I am the Golden Saint Goddess, the spirit of the Golden Saint Mountain Range. The children you were about to eat were my attendants. Those two demons had kind intentions and were instructed by me to attack them. Naturally, I had to stop them."

"Your Majesty!" The Monkey King excitedly got up from the ground. The Golden Saintess's voice was so magical, it seemed to come from all directions. He couldn't find the specific direction from which the voice came, but that didn't stop him from feeling at ease.

He'd been waiting for this moment!
The Golden Saintess is incredibly powerful and has boundless magical abilities; she will surely tear this stinking snake to shreds.

With the arrival of the Golden Saintess, the Monkey King immediately felt more confident.

The fifth child knelt down and shouted, "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

The rabbit demon also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

At the same time, they were terrified by the power of the Golden Saintess.

Even a powerful demon that had existed for millennia had suffered a defeat at the hands of the Golden Saintess. Who else in this world could rival her? She was thrilled. To receive guidance and instruction from the Golden Saintess was the greatest opportunity of her life.

"Welcome, Your Majesty!" The rabbit demon and the monkey king quickly knelt down after the fifth child.

"Golden Saintess, you are also a ten-thousand-year-old demon!" Lady Black Snake was shocked.

She thought that there were only a handful of ancient demons in the world, and that she should be invincible in the sixteen counties of the Northwest. But it turns out that there is a thousand-year-old demon in the sixteen counties of the Northwest, whose strength seems to be above hers. What kind of luck did she have?

"A demon?" Gu Yuexi asked teasingly, "Have you sensed any demonic aura from me?"

Lady Black Snake said no.

The only demons around her were her and the bear demon leader; there were no other demons present.

Lady Black Snake coldly questioned, "If you are not a demon, then what are you? I have no past grievances or recent feuds with you, so why did you send someone to kill my disciple?"

"You might call me a god!"

"Gods..." Lady Black Snake was stunned. Suddenly she laughed loudly, "What a ridiculous title! There are no gods in this world. Even if a demon becomes an immortal, it is only a demon immortal. You say I am rampant, but your words are no less so. I allow my disciples to eat people, while you play the role of a god to cheat and deceive. What is the difference between you and me?"

Gu Yuexi laughed: "Of course there is a difference. You are a demon, and I am an immortal. You allow your disciples to oppress the people, while I send my disciples to save them from suffering. There is a natural difference between us."

"That is no excuse for you to presumptuously claim to be a god."

"Hiss—" Lady Black Serpent hissed to the sky: "Golden Saintess, shouldn't you give an explanation for what happened today? Why did the boy beside you harm my disciple's life?"

“Because they deserve to die!” Gu Yuexi didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. She said, “The people down the mountain were almost all eaten by them. The people begged me, and I, the Empress, stood up for them and subdued the demons. They deserved to die!”

"You!" Lady Black Snake was furious.

Gu Yuexi continued, "Humans and demons are different. Demons should be focused on cultivation and not associate with mortals. However, they have committed countless blood debts and their crimes are so heinous that they deserve to die!"

"Madam Black Serpent, I command you to immediately withdraw the poisonous fog, restore peace to the mortal realm, and return the swallowed sky to its original place. In return, I will grant you a complete corpse."

Although Lady Black Snake acknowledged that Lady Golden Saint was more powerful than her, her bloodthirstiness and arrogance as a nearly ten-thousand-year-old demon meant that she was destined to be unable to negotiate peacefully with Lady Golden Saint.

"What arrogance! Lady Jin Sheng, you are truly haughty. Your servant killed several of my disciples, and that debt has not yet been settled. Yet you dare to order me around now."

Lady Black Snake flicked her tongue and snorted angrily, "Why should I listen to you?"

Gu Yuexi said, "Because you had no other choice!"

Lady Black Snake was startled, for the voice was right next to her ear, meaning that Lady Golden Saint was not far away from her.

But she couldn't see the other person at all.

What terrifying supernatural power!
"Madam Black Snake, I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to listen to me and spare your life?" Gu Yuexi pleaded again.

"Heh, who do you think you are? I am a great demon who has lived for nearly ten thousand years. Perhaps my cultivation is not as good as yours, but if I were to fight you to the death, I might still have a chance of winning." Lady Black Snake continued to respond coldly.

Gu Yuexi stopped wasting words with her.

A powerful pressure swept over, and the giant snake quickly assumed a defensive stance, its massive body crushing the grass and trees on the ground.

"Roar……"

The long snake roared, and she angrily turned her gaze to Jinwa and the others, intending to use them to threaten Jin Sheng Niangniang. But when she looked down, the group had vanished into thin air.

"what happened?"

What about people?

“Madam, I just saw them disappear into thin air. They must have been taken away by the person behind them,” said the leader of the Black Bear Demons.

She was taken away just like that, completely unprepared. Just how terrifying was the Golden Saintess's cultivation level?

"Hiss~" Lady Black Snake leaped up from the ground, straightened her body, and soared into the sky.

She refused to believe she couldn't find any trace of the Golden Saintess.

Gu Yuexi watched her from the shadows.

Suddenly a demon-binding rope appeared and tightly bound Lady Black Snake. Lady Black Snake was no pushover either, and she broke free of the demon-binding rope after a few rounds.

"I never expected you to possess such a magical artifact!"

Lady Black Snake hissed, becoming even more wary of her opponent.

She knew she had acted impulsively today.

It's infuriating! She still has three days until she breaks through the ten-thousand-year barrier. Ten-thousand-year-old demons have profound cultivation, and I wouldn't be in such a passive position.
