Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 447 Xu Shanren's Taihu Point Script
The turmoil on Taihu Lake is escalating.

Little Green King has become a renowned demon king.

Because his name was not publicly displayed, and he only had a large banner with the character "青" (qing, meaning blue/green), he was referred to as the Blue Demon King by outsiders.

The real reason is that Xiaoqing couldn't come up with a domineering name, a flaw that also reflects Xu's style.

Meanwhile, the righteous heroes are also paying attention, as a rather ambitious demon king has emerged in the Taihu Lake region, seemingly intending to follow in the footsteps of the Taihu Lake Water Lord.

In the past, while I wouldn't have interfered, I would still have come into contact with them occasionally.

Unfortunately, the righteous path is now too busy to even look after itself.

The Justice League led by Monk Daoyi of the Illusion Sect has discovered the whereabouts of the White Lotus Dharma King, causing them great distress.

The main new discovery is not that the Karmapa has been discovered, so does that mean there are two Karmapas active in the south? What a shocking fact!

The frequent appearance of northern white lotus in the south raises some questions.

Did you find something?
As the biggest victim of the rise of the White Lotus sect, the Illusion Sect's mountain gates have directly disappeared into the illusory realm.

Then they continued to urge the righteous sects not to let their guard down and to thwart the enemy's plot.

As for the Dongting demons, they sent a troublemaker to test the waters in Taihu Lake last time.

Even though they were completely destroyed, not much news came out, so they stopped paying attention.

It seemed that Lord Yunzhongjun was showing signs of awakening, instantly attracting the attention of the eight major water systems.

Taihu Lake is not important.

"Taihu Lake is really disappointing."

The Father sighed.

Not all demons are as ignorant of destiny as the crab spirit. Those who should be subdued are subdued, those who should run away run away, and a few who were unwilling to run away gathered together under someone's instigation.

However, the Taihu Lake basin has been desolate for a long time, and no large resistance organization has been formed to this day.

If even a small amount of it accumulates, it will become chaotic and collapse on its own.

"A bunch of trash!"

"Hundreds of waterways, dozens of rivers, and more than a dozen large lakes, yet not a single reliable villain!"

Xu Xuan, who was in the academy, was furious.

Autumn is approaching this year, and the peak of the flood season will soon be over.

As a result, the campaign to conquer the Taihu Lake basin did not progress very well, which was simply outrageous.

His original plan was to complete the pacification work in winter and proceed with the next step of integrated governance.

If the delay continues, it's not impossible that it could take another three to five years.

Wouldn't it take another seven or eight years to launch another campaign against Dongting Lake?!
"No, we can't rely on that bunch of useless people."

"Alas, I must personally take action."

Within the white lotus image, a spiritual light flickered, and various plans and schemes surged into his mind.

After pondering for a moment, I put down the book "Wu Zi" and roughly came up with an idea.

His greatest advantage lies in his detached perspective and his memory of posterity.

The battles of Yin Jin, Kunyang, and Changping serve as excellent examples in the minds of many heroes in the history of human warfare.

Xu Tang's main task was to adapt to local conditions, so he drew a circle on the map.

Yangzhou, Piling County, Changdang Lake.

Also known as Tao Lake, it spans between Jintan and Liyang, belongs to the Taihu Lake system, and is one of the ten major freshwater lakes in Yangzhou. Li Daoyuan's "Commentary on the Waterways Classic" refers to this lake as one of the "Five Ancient Lakes".

The lake water is a clear blue, only 1-2 meters deep, with abundant aquatic plants, snails and clams, reeds, lotus leaves, and numerous egrets, sparrows, roe deer, and wild ducks. It was once praised as "half a bushel of fish in a bushel of water, a bucket of gold at sunrise and a bucket of silver at night," and also described as "flying up and obscuring the sky, landing and covering the lake surface; freezing in three days of cold weather, hundreds of ponds connected together."

Xu Xuan chose this place because there was a monster here that he could barely use.

According to the intelligence gathered by Master Mao and his group, the creature entrenched here is a rare second-realm demon race in the Taihu Lake basin, who calls themselves the Red Dragon King.

This name seems impressive, but it's actually quite common among the demon race. Anyone with a dragon-like attribute will have the word "dragon" in their name.

Even a centipede spirit like Deng You dares to impersonate someone just because of their similar size; it's truly a nationwide cosplay phenomenon.

According to the investigation by the independent cultivators, this guy is a foreign demon from Xuyi County, Guangling Prefecture, Xuzhou.

He almost single-handedly entered Changdang Lake and subdued all the monsters. A few years ago, he fought against the Golden Dragon King and was so badly beaten that he hid in the mud for several years without showing his face.

Amidst recent turmoil, this person has reappeared, recruiting soldiers and contacting several surrounding demon clans, seemingly plotting something big.

"Okay, okay, at least there's one that's barely watchable."

"Red Dragon King, you're lucky."

Pulling out the butterfly attracted the giant turtle.

The night was dark and windy, and the atmosphere in the back mountain of the academy was somewhat solemn.

"Brother Gui, how has Bao'an Hall treated you?"

Gui Da was struck dumb, immediately kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, and repeatedly begging for mercy.

This means that Yu Bai is no good demon, so please don't believe his slander.

We are utterly loyal to Qiantang, and we must never do anything that would cause pain to our loved ones and joy to our enemies. Holy Monk, please bear witness.

It's no wonder it's afraid; usually, this kind of sentence doesn't want an answer, but rather to inform you of a bad outcome.

I blame myself for not consulting the oracle before leaving home. I actually went to my death in front of the Great Demon King. I've truly let down my ancestors. Waaaaaah!
Xu Xuan: I can't be bothered with your messy affair with Yu Bai.

"Ahem, the organization needs you to complete a slightly difficult task. I wonder if you are willing."

Upon hearing that it wasn't going to cost him his life, Turtle instantly perked up.

The joy of escaping death made it somewhat lose its mind, and it shamelessly uttered nonsense such as "I would go through fire and water without hesitation" and "I would dedicate myself to the cause until my dying breath."

"Seeing how loyal you are, I am relieved."

"Xiao Qing has enough men to spare, and with the two Mud Dragon generals assisting her for now, you may go."

After hearing this, Gui Da immediately wanted to slap himself a few times; he had just spoken too boldly.

However, no one in the Bao'an Hall was more suitable for this task, so he had no choice but to obediently accept it.

On the bright side, we're now directly under the Great Demon King's command, and our status has even been promoted by half a rank. We're sure to receive generous rewards once the mission is completed.

So he left Qiantang with the special butterfly communicator.

Meanwhile, Changdang Lake, which Xu Xuan had his eye on, was bustling with activity, with countless fish, turtles, shrimp, and other strange creatures visiting in the past few months.

The Red Dragon King was entertaining several lake demon kings in his palace on the edge of Mount Dafu.

It is a rare second-realm demon race in the Taihu Lake region, and it is a worldly demon that has traveled across the Yangtze and Songjiang Rivers.

Seeing the chaos erupting around Taihu Lake, I felt the time was right and wanted to make a difference.

It's no wonder the Taihu demon clan has fallen on hard times. The names of those who came to the banquet were all grander than the others, but their cultivation levels were all weaker than the others. In total, there were less than five who had fully transformed into human form.

But this did not diminish the Red Dragon King's high spirits.

"Back in the day, even the Golden Dragon didn't dare to touch us brothers. Yet this Azure Demon King, who appeared out of nowhere, dares to be so audacious. He's really taking advantage of my Flying Cloud Twin Daggers!"
