Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 142 The Old Taoists' Harvest
Facing three radiant, divine warriors imbued with the aura of incense offerings, and feeling the overwhelming true energy permeating the surroundings that made it almost impossible for her to breathe, the woman's expression instantly froze.

"Wait!" the woman suddenly raised her hand.

"Make your move!" Daoist Mingyu shouted.

The Heavenly Warrior wielding a spear unleashed a Poisonous Dragon Emerges from the Cave, thrusting straight at the woman's chest. The Heavenly Warrior wielding a sword followed up with Iron Chain Across the River, blocking the woman's path to the left while simultaneously slashing at her waist and ribs. The Heavenly Warrior wielding a whip then unleashed a Powerful Cleave of Mount Hua, smashing his steel whip down on the woman's head.

At the same time, Master Mingyu stepped forward, circulated his energy, chanted the Heavenly Thunder Mantra, formed the Heavenly Thunder Seal with his hands, and fixed his gaze on the woman with piercing eyes.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly exploded from the sky, shattering the roof tiles of the main hall and striking the woman directly above the door.

"what!"

The woman screamed in agony as the Yin energy she had just gathered to resist the three divine generals was shattered. Then, a spear pierced her chest, a sword slashed her ribs, and a whip struck her on the head.

The true qi entered her body, dispersing the ghostly energy. The woman's ghostly body was destroyed in a single move, and she turned into a wisp of smoke, trying to escape.

Master Mingyu snorted coldly, formed the Divine Thunder Seal with his hand, locked his divine sense, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Boom!"

Another thunderous roar resounded as divine lightning descended from the sky, completely shattering the wisp of smoke and crushing the woman's soul. Strands of malevolent energy flowed into the lightning seed in her sea of ​​consciousness, enhancing her cultivation.

Master Mingyu had practiced the "Shenxiao Taiji Du Lei Yin Shu" and the Five Thunder Incantation of the Heavenly God Dragon Water Society. Although he was not very proficient, he was more than capable of dealing with a female ghost with low cultivation.

"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"

Having vanquished the evil spirit and obtained its malevolent energy, Master Mingyu felt completely refreshed and couldn't help but send a telepathic message to the other two old Taoist priests, "I just encountered a female ghost that specifically absorbed the three yang energies of men born in the yang month, yang day, and yang hour. I summoned a divine general who killed her in just a few moves!"

Master Yihong scoffed, “I just came out of Fallen Leaf Ridge and destroyed a nest of private temples that were impersonating gods and sucking people’s life force to kill people. The oldest one was almost a hundred years old.”

On the other side, Daoist Yansong also transmitted his voice, "Is your female ghost pretty? I've been searching for a long time but haven't found a pretty female ghost. However, I did find two fish demons hiding in the shadows, causing trouble and harming people, along the Chang River. They should be remnants of the Bi'ang Palace."

Master Mingyu raised an eyebrow; he had heard Master Yansong mention the previous events.

The Three Absolutes Mountain was destroyed by two old Taoist priests who blocked its entrance from the front and back. Not a single demon escaped from the mountain. However, the Bi'ang Palace only killed Bi'ang Ancestor and five water division leaders, but did not eliminate the rest of the river demons.

According to the newly recruited Lou Jingou Huang Yuan, after the death of the Bi'ang Ancestor, several river demons of similar strength in the Bi'ang Palace fought each other to the point of exhaustion, but none of them could unify the Bi'ang Palace.

As a result, many river demons left Bi'ang Palace and scattered throughout the waterways of Changping Prefecture, causing havoc. However, these scattered river demons were not highly skilled, so they did not cause too much of a commotion.

"Not bad, not bad." Master Mingyu nodded repeatedly.

The monsters of Sanjue Mountain are almost all bad, and the river monsters of Biyang Palace are also harmful. They are currently rampaging everywhere, and it is time for them to slay the demons and eliminate them all.

Master Mingyu remembered that afternoon when a fishmonger who came to town to sell fish mentioned that a fish demon had appeared in a certain river bend and had already killed two or three fishermen and ferrymen. He was thinking of going to take a look when he ran into Yan Wenhong, who was on his way home.

Speaking of Yan Wenhong, Master Mingyu turned around and saw that the scholar had collapsed to the ground in fright, his crotch soaked. He had just witnessed the two fighting and his eyes were wide open. He hadn't come to his senses yet.

Master Mingyu shook his head, took two steps back, put away the paper figure, and turned to leave. "Please wait a moment, Master!"

Seeing that the female ghost had been destroyed and the Taoist priest was about to leave, Yan Wenhong disregarded his own disheveled appearance and hurriedly stopped Taoist priest Mingyu. "Thank you for exorcising the ghost and saving me, Taoist priest. Please sit down and let me serve you tea to express my gratitude."

Seeing Yan Wenhong's shifty eyes, Master Mingyu, being an old and shrewd man, knew exactly what he was thinking.
Pointing his finger, Master Mingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the female ghost is dead. No one will drain your yang energy anymore. Take good care of yourself and abstain from sexual activity for two years. You might be able to make up for the loss."

"Two years..." Yan Wenhong wanted to die, so he refused to give up and wanted to beg Master Mingyu for help.

But Master Mingyu didn't want to pay any more attention to him.

An ancient scholar, infatuated with lust and restless, with no devout faith, would not have spoken to this person if it weren't for his yang body attracting ghosts.

Master Mingyu vanished before Yan Wenhong's eyes in a flash, leaving the courtyard and heading towards Changshui outside the city. A faint murmur drifted on the wind, "This old Taoist does have a method of dual cultivation, but it is a secret of the Taoist sect. How can I pass it on to you?"

……

On the other side, Master Yihong, who had just come out of Luoye Ridge, was carrying a large bamboo basket containing several dead weasels. He arrived at the nearest town, Luoye, to ask someone to help him skin and dismember the weasels.

"Master... these are..." The townspeople who had taken action trembled with fear and disbelief.

Master Yihong nodded. “A group of harmful demons are dead. You don’t need to be afraid. Skin them and give them to me. Take good care of the fur on their tails. I’m taking them to make talisman brushes. You can keep the rest of their flesh and bones. Eating them will enhance your blood and strengthen your body.”

"Ok?"

Upon hearing that it could enhance blood circulation and improve health, the townspeople were no longer afraid and immediately set to work. Some bled the weasels while others skinned them. The experienced hunters in the town all pitched in and quickly dealt with the weasels.

Aside from handing the fur over to Daoist Yihong, the remaining flesh and blood were divided among the families. After expressing their gratitude, they left happily.

The next day, many people who went to Fallen Leaf Ridge found that the yellow altar in front of the ridge seemed to have been ravaged by the wind and was broken beyond recognition. Some people observed carefully and found some smooth knife marks on the bricks of the ruins.

……

Meanwhile, on the banks of a small bend in a tributary of the Changshui River, two fishermen and a fisherwoman set up a fire and cooked a pot of fish soup in an earthenware pot on their boat. Even though they only sprinkled some salt on it, the aroma wafted everywhere.

"Master, please eat!"

The fisherwoman ladled out a bowl of fish soup, with large chunks of fish floating in it, and respectfully handed it to Daoist Yansong.

Master Yansong took it, slurped a few mouthfuls, and nodded in satisfaction. Although there weren't many seasonings, it was fresh enough and tasted very good.

"Have you heard of any other places where river monsters are causing trouble?" Master Yansong asked.

The fisherwoman thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "I heard that a river god temple was erected in Pingbo Bay upstream last month, and offerings are made to it every day. I wonder if it is a river demon causing trouble."

Master Yansong raised an eyebrow, downed the fish soup in his hand in one gulp, and asked, "Would you like to take me to see him?"
