Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 407 Qing Tang Master
When the flames died down, all the reeds turned to ashes and fell to the shore.

All that remained was the mangled remains of a large centipede and a few scattered magical artifacts dropped by the group of evil cultivators.

Ordinary fire cannot burn these things cleanly.

The wreckage was burned black, but a faint golden light could still be seen under the hard shell, and the aroma of perfectly cooked caramel could be smelled.

"Won!"

"so amazing!"

"very scary."

The demons were both apprehensive and happy, after all, it was not pleasant for their true spirits to be controlled by humans.

Although the successor of Lady Luhua was far more ruthless, he gave the demon a strange sense of security.

Thinking back to the Golden Dragon King's arrival at Taihu Lake a few years ago, how arrogant he was, relying on his power to act tyrannically and forcibly subdue others. And now, how tragically he has fallen, reduced to a pile of dead flesh. One can't help but lament the cruel twists of fate.

Xiaoqing, however, did not step forward but instead carefully took out Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

He used the demonic power within the sword to sweep across the battlefield seven or eight times, and finally discovered a fluctuation of divine soul at the centipede's tail.

"really!"

I recall Xu Xuan saying at the war council that high-level cultivators and demons are not easy to kill, and that some dead demons in the underworld have reclaimed their mountain kingdoms.

Our Baoan Hall must keep pace with the times and can no longer view new enemies with old perspectives.

We must prevent the absurd scenario of enemies resurrecting themselves to secretly oppose us. Don't you see how many righteous people have fallen victim to such plots?

Therefore, cleaning up the scene is of utmost importance!

Immediately, her eyebrows furrowed, and she brandished her twin swords, slashing at her target dozens or even hundreds of times, as if she were chopping minced meat.

Sword energy, demonic power, and flying blood and flesh.

The unleashed killing intent caused the demons behind him to retreat slightly.

After struggling a few times, that final fluctuation was completely extinguished and returned to the world.

It's pitiful that Deng You, who was at the peak of the second realm of great demons, died so miserably on the shore of Taihu Lake without ever being able to unleash his full Buddhist skills.

Xiaoqing was slightly relieved at this point and went closer to examine the giant centipede's corpse.

The meat was already cooked through, and its pink color combined with the aroma of caramelization made my mouth water.

It looks delicious; after all, the essence of demon flesh and blood is a powerful tonic.

He immediately opened the treasure pouch and put the giant centipede inside, along with the odds and ends on the ground.

The initial cleanup work has been completed.

At this moment, Yan Chixia also descended from the sky, his entire body still wreathed in violent sword energy.

That sword strike was truly exhilarating. I didn't have to consider life or death, victory or defeat; I only needed to vent the pent-up frustration of the destruction of Mount Shu.

Such pure sword wielding has been absent for many years.

After landing, he threw a jade pendant directly to Xiaoqing.

When he slew the demon with his sword, the sword energy knocked the jade tablet away. He thought it might be useful, so he flew to a distance and retrieved it.

Xiaoqing played with the slightly hot True Spirit Jade Token in her hand, glancing thoughtfully at the little monsters behind her whose eyes were red and who dared not move.

Upon seeing this, the old fish demon knelt down on the water's surface with tears in his eyes.

"Heaven has been kind to me~~~~"

"This old man has witnessed the true birth of the Taihu Lake God once again."

"Having endured humiliation and hardship for hundreds of years, I have no regrets even if I die now that I have seen the goddess."

After that, she felt extremely honored to have met a wise ruler, and believed that the person who would inherit the divine weapon of Lady Luhua must be the water god of Taihu Lake.

The story was told in a well-structured way, and the themes of fate and emotions were told in a deeply moving manner.

"Please bestow a name upon us, Your Majesty, so that we may worship you day and night and show our respect during festivals."

Xiaoqing hadn't reacted yet, but Gui Da was immediately alarmed. Who was that shameless person who said they'd turn on him if they didn't take the True Spirit Jade Token?
What a shameless, two-faced fish spirit!
They are so adept at the art of opportunism and flattery.

What's even more terrifying is that he's also well-versed in human knowledge and speaks eloquently, clearly a seasoned killer who once spent some time on land.

How could Turtle not be furious and alarmed when a competitor suddenly entered his race!

We should immediately rebuke these despicable people, telling them to recognize their own position and not to have any improper thoughts.

As a result, the old fish demon completely ignored the jumping turtle and only knelt down devoutly in the direction of Xiao Qing.

It can distinguish who is in charge of making decisions.

Xiaoqing also found it interesting; such demons were rare, and she should be careful.

So he immediately put the jade pendant away, then opened his snake-like eyes and slowly said with a menacing aura:

"Let's leave the name aside for now. You all go to the lake and wait for me."

The sound was not loud, and it was quite deep.

This further highlights the inherent ferocity and cruelty within them.

The old fish demon suddenly felt troubled. Lady Luhua was kind-hearted, so there was no need to guess her intentions; as long as she didn't harm the people on the shore, that was enough.

King Jinlong is domineering but doesn't think much of the water demons. His daily work is simply to help the water pirates stir up trouble.

But this new king is not only ruthless, he is also cautious.

Such a person is bound to have great achievements and ambitions; Taihu Lake is bound to be restless.

Of course, the thought only flashed through his mind, but he still readily agreed and led the demons back to the water to await further instructions.

Large waves surged on the lake's surface before returning to calm.

Xiao Qing smiled.

Sure enough, lowering one's voice can enhance one's presence, and the experiment was a great success.

Standing on the shore, Yan Chixia felt somewhat speechless, as his obsession with the art style resurfaced.

He greatly admired Baoantang's ambition and sense of justice.

The deputy hall master, for some unknown reason, has always been very concerned about his appearance, and even an honest man like Master Mao occasionally does the same.

Imagine these bearded men standing on the shore, swords in hand, their backs ramrod straight.

When Master Mao arrived with a dozen or so fellow practitioners, he saw three figures standing on the shore with their backs to him.
Just by looking at their style, you can tell they're one of us.

Next comes an introduction process, which is quite unusual.

The Taoist priest put in a lot of effort to ensure that these trainees could better understand the powerful figures within the organization and to maintain a harmonious atmosphere.

Moreover, with the guidance of Young Master Xu, they obtained an introductory text that was enough to make the atmosphere in Baoan Hall more united.

The Taoist priest was shocked when he saw the contents. He had no idea that there were such styles.
Although it was somewhat shameful, the Taoist priest was most grateful to Little Green King in Baoan Hall.

Qing was the most powerful senior he had met before he entered the Daoist path. She was also very enthusiastic about the affairs of the sect and was extremely wealthy.

The Gui Water Yin Thunder, Star Sand, and many other rare and precious materials and life-saving items were all given to him by the other party.

Even the top-tier divine weapon Cheng Ying Sword that he currently wields came from Miss Qing.

This kindness deserves to be repaid.

I think this introduction will make Miss Qing very happy.

"Ahem, this is our Baoan Hall's deputy hall master, Hall Master Qing."

Xiaoqing nodded reservedly, for it is said that masters cannot show their emotions.

But the introduction wasn't over yet, so the Taoist priest took a deep breath.

"Vice Hall Master Qing comes from an extraordinary background and possesses great supernatural abilities. Listen carefully, everyone: Hall Master Qing, she…"
His supernatural abilities are superb when he leaves the mountain; he displays his prowess in the water. He sits in the Qi Refining Tower, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, the interplay of Yin and Yang.
