She is devoted to cultivating immortality

Chapter 86 The Unlucky Snake Demon

"Now that we have tested it out and found out that the City God here is a coward, there is no need to hold back. Let's just massacre the whole village. If I eat a hundred living people, my wounds will heal!"

Speaking of eating people, the other two monsters' eyes turned green.

The strange fish even started drooling and said.

"I ate a few people when I first arrived. After that, I used intimidation to restrain myself from eating because I was worried about the city god. But I am so greedy. When we enter the village, I will only eat women, and you are not allowed to compete with me!"

The demons laughed sinisterly and even talked about the distribution.

But at this moment, a majestic voice was heard.

"Still want to eat people? I'm afraid you won't have this chance anymore!"

The three demons were startled and looked over quickly. They saw that the area around Erdao River was already densely packed with Yin officials, holding iron rulers, iron chains, and iron swords, staring at them viciously.
And right in front of him, the City God of Changxing County, dressed in dark official uniform, rose into the air, his eyes full of indifference.

"This god has been patient for several days and finally waited for you to reunite. You bold monsters, how dare you invade my Changxing County? You really don't know how to write the word death. All the people in the City God's Office, listen to my order, set up a net to capture these three daring evildoers!"

"No, I was fooled!"

"How dare you, the damn City God, plot against us!"

"The wind is blowing hard..."

The strange fish and the water python cursed angrily, while the toad spirit, who was the most seriously injured, ran away without hesitation.

It didn't want to fight at all, it just wanted to find a safe place and heal its wounds first.

He immediately kicked out his hind legs and dived into the water.

Unexpectedly, the collision was like hitting a steel plate, and he bounced back directly, leaving a big bump on his head.

Judge Wu of Changxing County held a small black flag in his hand and waved it suddenly.

Dark black lines appeared across the entire Erdao River, apparently blocking the entire river.

"My Lord just said that we have set up a trap. If I let you get into the water, what kind of trap is that? Prepare to die, you three idiots!"

As soon as the words fell, all the Yinchai took action at the same time.

Iron chains flew out and wrapped around the three monsters.

"It seems like they were well prepared. This matter cannot be resolved peacefully. Get ready to fight!"

Snake Sanniang's eyes were gloomy, and the snake tongue in her mouth gradually turned purple-red, looking even more weird.

"What a cunning City God! He has ignored me these past few days and is planning to catch us all in one fell swoop. Haha, do you really think that we, the Five Ghosts of Sui Bojiang, are all soft persimmons? Even if I risk my life today, I will kill most of them!"

The strange fish roared, and two bags of flesh bulged out of its fat body, and then two deformed arms emerged.

Holding a copper hammer in one hand.

He holds an iron axe in one hand.

Blood was surging in his eyes.

"Okay, okay! Since you won't let us have an easy time, then we can only fight to the death! Do you really think that I have no fighting power just because I'm injured?"

Toad Mirror roared angrily, and all the dense poison blisters on his body burst open, oozing out streams of foul-smelling pus.

It screamed and looked extremely creepy.

Seeing how stubborn these three demons were, the ghost officials were startled and subconsciously became cautious.

But the three monsters were extraordinary. They keenly grasped the moment when his mind was wandering and flew away in three directions.

"Go together!"

The three monsters roared and seemed very powerful, but in fact none of them wanted to fight to the death. They just wanted their companions to fight to the death while they could take the opportunity to escape.

When we looked back, we found that everyone had the same idea.

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

"No loyalty!"

The three demons were furious, which vividly demonstrated what it meant for everyone to flee when disaster strikes.

But this is their nature. When Qingfeng Temple was besieging them earlier, the three of them decisively betrayed their teammates and escaped by using the water escape technique. The remaining two ghosts did not want to run away, but they were not as good at running as them, so they were entangled by Qingfeng Temple and died.

Only these three guys, each with their own ulterior motives, ran along the water, came to the vicinity of Changxing County, and gathered together again.

Now that we are in danger, it is natural that the past will repeat itself. It would be strange if someone really showed his loyalty.

"Don't let any of them go, attack with all your strength!"

The City God of Changxing County also took action and he directly targeted the strange fish.

The other two monsters were injured, but this strange fish was not seriously injured, so it struggled hard and almost rushed to the shore.

The City God's seal appeared in his palm and he threw it casually, releasing a dark light in the air, dyeing the entire night even darker.

The City God Seal is a treasure that is naturally able to integrate destiny. You can see that the destiny of the entire Changxing County has gathered together and merged into the City God Seal.

The five big characters "Changxing County City God" under the seal burst into golden light, exuding a majestic aura of righteousness, and fell down with a loud bang.

The strange fish had no time to dodge and was smashed flying backwards. Before it could get up, the City God's seal fell again, with three bangs, hitting it so hard that its skin was torn and it was dizzy. It lost the strength to resist.

The guards on both sides immediately stepped forward, put iron chains on his body and locked him up.

A huge iron hook was inserted directly into the fish's mouth and hooked on its gills.

The civil and military judges took action together and targeted the toad spirit.

This toad spirit looks weak and badly injured, but in fact he is very cunning and can even deceive his own people.

Its injuries were much lighter than expected, and the poison sacs on its body were extremely toxic. Anyone who was contaminated by them would die immediately. When it opened its mouth and spit out poisonous smoke, no one dared to stand in front of it easily.

"Get out of my way!"

The toad demon was blood-thirsty. It knew what would happen if it fell into the hands of the City God, so it used all its tricks.

But in the end, they were no match for the civil and military judges who had been prepared for a long time. The dragnet formation had been set up. They fought the toad spirit and entangled it tightly. When it was out of strength, a large silver net immediately covered it and trapped it.

"I surrender"

The toad spirit is very sensible to the current situation. He is acting violently one second and compromises the next.

But Judge Wu had a cold expression on his face and didn't listen to what he said at all. He swung a huge ghost-head guillotine and chopped the Toad Demon into eight pieces, killing him to the point where he could no longer die.

All the poison sacs on its body began to burn after its life was gone, releasing foul-smelling smoke.

The toad spirit's body was destroyed, leaving only its soul. It had just left the body and before it had time to adapt, it was locked up by an experienced ghost messenger.

"You have a lot of venom in your body, so I dare not touch you easily. But I don't have to catch you alive, just your soul will be enough!"

Judge Wen said with a chuckle.

As early as he discovered that the Toad Spirit was highly poisonous, he had already formulated a strategy.

All this seems complicated, but in fact it only takes a moment to capture the strange fish. The toad spirit has put in some effort, but it is obvious that it is at a disadvantage.

Snake Sanniang was terrified.

"Isn't Changxing County a remote small county? How come the people in the City God's Mansion are so powerful?"

The Changxing County City God's Mansion gave it a very strange feeling. First, the plan was thorough, and then the advance and retreat were well-planned. When they took action, they even fought in coordination, and their operations were carried out very carefully. They did not seem like ghost messengers, but more like elite soldiers.

It didn't dare to have any other thoughts, it chose a direction, and rushed towards the shore.

But the dragnet had already been set up. As soon as we reached the shore, we saw a huge dark net spread out, covering the sky and the water.

But She Sanniang, as the most capable and accomplished leader among the Five Ghosts of Sui Bo River, is not so easy to accept her fate.

It suddenly transformed itself into a green water python, then a black light flashed on its body and its huge body crashed directly into the giant net.

"boom!"

The loud noise was so deafening that it even woke up many nearby villagers.

Enduring the severe pain, with madness in her eyes, She Sanniang still clung to the edge of the net. The tumor on her forehead suddenly swelled up, and after a moment, it exploded with a bang, like a bubble being shattered.

But what immediately spurted out was emerald green poisonous fire.

The poisonous fire surged, and in the blink of an eye the net of heaven and earth was sizzling.

"not good!"

The City God of Changxing County raised his eyebrows, he never expected that Snake Sanniang was actually an alien species.

The tumor on the top of its head is its root. To abandon it now would be tantamount to self-destruction.

But in the face of a life-and-death crisis, it didn't care much. It took advantage of an unexpected opportunity to urge the poisonous fire to burn violently, and indeed tore a hole.

There was ecstasy in its eyes, and its huge body emerged from the hole.

Rushed towards the dense forest.

As a water python, it is an amphibious creature. It is not only good at water escape, but can also walk on flat ground in mountains and forests.

"Stop it!"

Judge Wen shouted.

If we really let this guy escape, it will be difficult to chase him.

Everyone in the City God's Mansion hurriedly chased after them.

Even the seal of the City God was thrown out again by the City God of Changxing County in an attempt to stop Snake Sanniang.

But She Sanniang had many ways to escape. When the blood mist on her body exploded, half of her body was cut off, leaving only the upper half that flew away, turning into a streak of blood and disappearing into the forest.
"What a huge loss! Although I have shaken off the pursuers, I have lost 70% to 80% of my cultivation today. I don't know how many years I need to practice to return to my current state. Changxing County City God, right? I will remember you!"

There was a fierce light flashing in her triangular eyes. As soon as She Sanniang escaped, she had the thought of revenge.

How can I accept such a huge loss today?

"You big snake are no good. Looking at your colorful appearance, I know at first glance that you are not a good thing. You are far inferior to Bai Su." Just as it was brewing the idea of ​​revenge, it suddenly heard a muttering voice.

When I looked up, I saw a woman in white, leaning against a tree, holding a book in her hand, but now her mind was not on the book, but staring at it, as if pointing at something.

"Hmm? A female scholar? She is pretty, but it's a pity. If it was my prime, I would have captured her and played with her for a few days. But now? You should eat her to replenish your energy!"

Snake Sanniang has a strong desire to kill, and doesn't mind swallowing a random passerby while running away.
Even Dan Yangzi couldn't see Xie Lian's true realm, let alone it?

In its eyes, Xie Lian was just a fair-skinned scholar.

It immediately opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Xie Lian.

"My goodness, do all these wild monsters have such stinky mouths?"

Xie Lian didn’t feel too much fear, but his brows were furrowed.

Snake Sanniang's mouth was like a cesspool, and the stench was too strong.

Even if Xie Lian didn't have mysophobia, he didn't want to have anything to do with such a smelly thing.

He just slapped him.

There was no skill involved, it was just a slap, but it mobilized the powerful spiritual power in the body. The purple air in the heart boiled, and a light golden flame surged out with the spiritual power, and the result was a huge, still burning slap.

Snake Sanniang didn't have time to react at all, she was shattered by the slap.

The body vanished in an instant, without even a trace left, leaving only the soul rushing forward with its mouth wide open.

It didn't even know it was dead!
A moment later, the pursuers from the City God's Palace finally arrived.

"And the anaconda?"

"Where did he go?"

"Damn it, if we let it get away, there will be endless trouble!"

A few complaints were heard by Xie Lian.

He immediately waved his hand and pointed at the soul of Snake Sanniang, who had come to her senses and realized that she had been beaten to death.

"Don't look for it, it's right here."

The ghost messengers paused for a moment, and then swarmed over.

Then he saw Snake Sanniang, whose soul was left.

"This……"

When they were at a loss, the City God of Changxing County arrived.

He glanced at She Sanniang and showed a look of joy.

"Thank you for your help, Immortal!"

A laughing voice sounded.

"Xie was just a coincidence. I was just looking for a place to read a book, but I didn't expect it to eat me. To be honest, the way it opened its big mouth was really scary."

Hearing this gentle voice, the City God of Changxing County looked over, and just one glance revealed an expression of disbelief.

Hiss!
He took a deep breath, quickly pressed down the cloud, and began to bow from a distance.

“It’s you.”

As he spoke, he looked at She Sanniang, who seemed to still not understand the situation, and shook his head.

"Just run away, why would you want to eat someone? I don't know whether to say you are lucky or unlucky to have messed with this guy."

Snake Lady.

"?".

Just like the two demons that were dealt with before, Snake Sanniang also had her soul locked up by the ghosts.

The three big monsters were tied up tightly, and each of them was carried by seven or eight ghost messengers, and they walked towards Changxing County in a mighty manner.

"Before I left, the City God of Xiaoning County introduced the Lord God to me. He said that the Lord God had extraordinary abilities and extraordinary methods, which were more than a hundred times better than mine. After seeing him today, I know that what he said was true. He used a strategy of arrogant soldiers to lure the three monsters into a trap, and then captured them with thunderous means to eliminate the trouble forever."

Xie Lian found this scene quite novel.

It was very similar to the scene of slaughtering pigs in the countryside when I was a child. A group of people carried the pig happily, completely ignoring the pig's wailing.

But the situation here is different. No matter how the three monsters shout, no mortal can hear them.

Even if you pass by them, you would at most feel a gust of cold wind and wouldn't think too much about it.

The City God of Xiaoning County said that this colleague was far better than him. Xie Lian thought he was just being modest, but now he sees that it is indeed true.

The City God of Xiaoning County is too cautious. How can we describe the way he handles things? He is slow and lacks order.

In other words, there is no underworld in this world. Otherwise, based on the fact that his City God's Palace was previously attacked by evil spirits and the City God's seal was taken away, it would be impossible for him to sit firmly on the position of City God.

In comparison, the City God of Changxing County was much more decisive. He made plans, acted decisively, and defeated the enemy in one blow.

These subordinate gods and ghost messengers under his command seemed to be well-trained and had a certain military spirit.

But what Xie Lian said made the City God of Changxing County feel ashamed.

"I don't deserve your praise. I didn't do a good job. I didn't expect the snake demon to have so many tricks. If it weren't for the immortal, I would have let it escape!"

"I am not saying nice things on purpose. Even if the snake demon escaped, it has already lost a lot of its skills. It can only hide its tail and do evil things in the future. If the Lord puts a lot of effort into searching, it may not be impossible to find its trace. Compared with this matter, I am more curious. The Lord has elite generals under his command, so he should be able to defend the territory. Why did he let these three demons enter the territory of Changxing County and eat people?"

There was no ambiguity in Xie Lian's words; she was simply curious and wanted to ask.

But to the City God of Changxing County, it sounded like he was asking for punishment, and he was startled and said with a fist clasped.

"This is the fault of the City God's Mansion of Changxing County. I was careless and made a mistake. Please punish me, Immortal!"

Xie Lian was stunned, then he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

"Punish? I am not your superior, what reason do I have to punish you? And I am just asking casually, not with any intention of accusing you. There are so many monsters that harm people in this world, and there must be not many that can do such a thing as a god. If it were any other city god, I am afraid that they would have rushed over rashly when they first discovered the fish monster, and in the end, most likely one of the fish monsters would be scared away, and the three evil monsters would choose another place to harm people."

When Xie Lian said this, he was thinking of the City God of Xiaoning County.
Although their relationship is okay, one thing to do is to be clear, given the old city god's personality, he probably wouldn't think that far ahead.

And it's also a question of human nature.

The City God is equivalent to the county magistrate, and their methods of doing things are also similar. Everyone wants to mind their own business. As long as there are no problems within my jurisdiction, what does other people's affairs have to do with me?

If we can scare the monster away, we will have achieved our goal.

However, because of his old friendship with the City God of Xiaoning County, Xie Lian was too embarrassed to speak of him behind his back, so he did not mention his name.
"What the Immortal Master said is absolutely true. The gods in the world have no control over each other, no cooperation, and are loose and lack a sense of responsibility."

But these words made the City God of Changxing County feel emotional and he sighed.

Xie Lian could probably understand this.

This is also the reason why she was so shocked when she first learned from the City God of Xiaoning County that there was no underworld in this world.

Without the control of the underworld, wouldn’t things be in chaos?

Not to mention the river gods, land gods, mountain gods, river gods, etc., just the city god system seems too loose.

The major city gods only care about their own affairs, do not know each other, and are not subordinate to each other. Because of the territorial restrictions, it is not easy to make friends and chat with them.

If there is a monster harming people in the territory of a city god, all you need to do is drive the monster away, or the monster leaves on its own, and then nothing will happen.

As for the neighboring county being plagued by roaming monsters, that had nothing to do with him.

It is unlikely that they will even send a verbal message.

For example, the situation where the City God of Changxing County was willing to cross the county to provide assistance to Xiaoning County was purely an isolated case. The City God of Xiaoning County never thought that the other party would agree. Although he did not provide much help in the end, he was still grateful to the City God of Changxing County.

"It's not entirely true, at least not for the Honored God. The City God of Xiaoning County is extremely grateful to you, and his words always reveal his respect for you."

Xie Lian said with a smile.

"City God Wang is too polite."

The City God of Changxing County said calmly that he did not take this matter seriously.

"General, the three demons have been captured. After returning to the palace, will you personally try them, or will you hand them over to the prison department?"

A clerk came over, knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and said.

"The origins of these three monsters have been discovered. They were originally wandering around Sui Bo River. They were the so-called Sui Bo River Five Ghosts. It was only because they acted recklessly and devoured the secular family of the Taoist priests of Qingfeng Temple that the practitioners were angered. So they took action against them and killed two of them. Three escaped and happened to reach the border of Changxing County. The three monsters have not changed their evil nature and have committed many evil deeds. As soon as they arrived in our territory, they dared to eat people. Is there any need to interrogate such evil monsters? Just put them in the oil pan and fry them for an hour, and then let the prison officer take them away!"

There was a fierce look in Changxing County's eyes, and his words revealed an unquestionable sharpness.

The clerk seemed to have long been accustomed to the style of his own City God. He did not say a word. He just said "yes" and immediately strode to make arrangements.

Xie Lian was secretly surprised when he saw this. He had always felt that the City God of Changxing County had a military aura, and now when he heard the way his subordinates addressed him, it was vaguely confirmed.

"In the past, when Xie was chatting with Wang Chenghuang, he heard him say that he was a guerrilla general in his previous life. Because of his meritorious service in protecting the villagers, he was remembered after his death and a golden statue was erected. That's how he was fortunate enough to become the true god of the city. But compared to the Venerable God, you seem to have a more iron-blooded temperament."

The City God of Changxing County was startled, but he did not hide anything and spoke directly.

"To be honest, Immortal, I was also a soldier in my previous life, but unlike the City God, my family has been military for generations. I grew up in a military camp and later led an army on my own, fighting everywhere. Although I have now obtained the status of a god, I still have some military habits from my previous life. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

"No wonder, no wonder, I am disrespectful, I didn't know that the Lord God was a general in the army in the past."

Although the City God of Changxing County did not say how many troops he commanded, he was able to lead the army to fight in all directions alone, so it must be at least tens of thousands of soldiers, right?

This is already considered a general in the army, or even a commander-in-chief.

Naturally, a small general of miscellaneous rank could not compare with him.

"That's all in the past. Immortal Master, don't worry about it. I have admired you for a long time. Today, I am even more ashamed to receive your help. I dare to invite you to the City God's Mansion and I will host a banquet for you."

The City God of Changxing County issued an invitation.

"Xie has long been curious about the City God's Palace."

Xie Lian did not refuse. He had come to Changxing County out of courtesy before, but now he was really interested.
