Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 818 Slaying Demons and Eliminating Evil
Li deserves much credit for this.

The hydrological expert, who had been out of the public eye for a long time, was originally leading his team of fish and crabs to visit famous mountains and rivers and record the watercourses in various places.

As a result, when the incident occurred in Dongting Lake, the Qi siblings directly "delivered" him to the front line.

Everyone was stunned.

My hands were trembling as I looked at the overflowing rivers, lakes, and seas. No, I'm still a student.

Looking at the overflowing rivers, lakes, and seas before her, Li's hands were trembling.

But the next second, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes. He never expected to see such a shocking scene after the door to a new world opened. It was definitely worth it.

Besides, which young person hasn't dreamed of turning the tide in a time of crisis?
So... he quickly "called for help" and "invited" his cousin, who was working in Xin'an County, to come.

It was the same county official surnamed Li who had personally witnessed Lady White Snake lifting the Xin'an River.

The uncle and nephew planned the river diversion together and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

"Dig a ditch here!" "Blast a mountain over there!" "Make the floodwaters flow this way!"

After a series of actions, the situation was indeed temporarily stabilized.

Li wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at the river channel he had planned, exclaiming, "Water management... is fucking exciting!"

It was in this chaotic situation that Xiaoqing suddenly heard the "sound" of Dongting Lake.

It was a cry of near despair.

The Dongting Lake, on the verge of collapse, sensed that someone was desperately trying to save it, and with its last bit of spiritual power, it contacted the "little dragon".

Although this "little dragon" is still in its growth stage, its true nature can be sensed, and its value is beyond words.

Without hesitation, he bestowed the last ray of inspiration, along with the "authority," upon it.

If the other side wins, then Dongting Lake will still be Dongting Lake; if they lose, then so be it.

"so……"

Xiao Qing spread her hands, her golden eyes gleaming with smugness.

"Dongting Lake has entrusted me with this important task!"

That "chosen one" attitude is exactly the same as that of a certain white lotus demon king.

After the initial excitement, he touched his eyes in confusion: "I just didn't feel anything different..."

He thought that having obtained the power of the Dongting Lake Lord, his strength and supernatural abilities should have increased dramatically.

Aside from those striking "golden eyes" and her dramatically improved looks... everything else remains completely unchanged!
The speed at which it absorbed and exhaled spiritual energy remained unchanged; its swordsmanship level did not suddenly improve; and even its basic water control ability did not significantly improve... The raging lake water in front of it completely ignored this water lord.

My heart suddenly started to pound – could it be a fraudulent authority?
Don't hold us back at crucial moments!

This is the "occupational hazard" cultivated by Baoantang: rigorous, pragmatic, and never blindly optimistic.

When changes occurred, he didn't immediately burst into laughter or take the initiative with overflowing confidence. Instead, he worried that he might become a weakness in the strategy.

Bai Suzhen immediately sent a burst of spiritual light over, and after examining it, she found that there was something extra in her bloodline.

In the terms of the cultivation world, this means that the path of 'refining the body' has shown signs of unusual phenomena, such as the appearance of the sun and moon in one's eyes. There is no need to panic.

She also went through this stage and experienced strange phenomena during her training.

Well, this is a stage unique to demons with relatively advanced bloodlines.

"The fact that this change has occurred means that your bloodline has begun to deviate from the category of ordinary green snakes."

"It seems this flood has stimulated the 'Dragon Gate' within you."

Xu Xuan understood the change after hearing it, after all, his physical body had also undergone two leaps.

One was the immortal skin and jade bones bestowed by the Antarctic Immortal Herb, and the other was the jade marrow and rainbow essence generated from the resonance of human bloodlines.

Xiaoqing is in a similar situation, and the demon race's completion is even more intense, somewhat like completing the three amino acid residues specifically missing in the PTCH1 protein.

With increased transposon content, the genome becomes larger, and the genome structure also undergoes mutations, putting the entire demon in an unstable state.

If she stayed on the battlefield at this point, would she grow nine heads, or lose an eye?

Xiaoqing and Xu Xuan both looked at Lady White with longing eyes.

"Xiaoqing can no longer walk."

"'Dragon Gate' originated from the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake, and now it has been activated again by the calamity of Dongting Lake..."

"This cause and effect must be repaid here."

Bai Suzhen gave a very affirmative reply, while also adding a layer of murderous intent towards Yun Zhongjun.

Xu Xuan and Xiao Qing both breathed a sigh of relief.

As the original righteous team, we still hope to have our comrades by our side in critical moments.

The next step is to devise a simple battle plan.

Once the conspiracy is exposed, the battle will be very simple.

The Pure Land sect suppressed the mountains and rivers, the Taihu Lake demons managed the waterways, and human officials evacuated the people.

The planning in this area is already in place; the only challenge is its execution.

The old monk of the Pure Land School has sent out three letters on palm leaves.

"The earth dragon turned over seven times, and plague and evil spirits spread everywhere!"

The handwriting was so illegible it was almost grotesque, clearly indicating a critical situation.

The situation is equally dire for Xiaoqing.

"The Taihu Lake demons can only hold out for three more days at most!"

"Once the water level exceeds the critical point, the Hanjiang Plain will become a vast expanse of water!"

As for Headmaster Shen... there's good news and bad news.

Xu Xuan held the communication jade slip, his lips twitching.

Good news: The sacrificial ceremony was extremely effective, and the fortunes of humanity have begun to rebound.
Bad news: The imperial court is still embroiled in a heated debate over whether to allocate funds for disaster relief and whether to evacuate the people...

"It is expected that the debate will continue for another ten days to half a month."

Ten days to half a month?!
By the time you finish arguing, the grass on your graves will be three feet tall. Oh, and it'll just be waterweed.

Even though Xu Xuan had anticipated this, he still felt a tightness in his chest.

Okay, okay, wait for me. I'll have a proper talk with you next year.

So all our hopes can be pinned on Lady White Snake; let's just keep eating her rice.

Bai Suzhen: "." Xu Xuan continued to bury himself in remote command, sending out orders through the jade disc, mobilizing all sides to defend the Dongting Lake area to the death.

Meanwhile, streams of light continuously flew towards the sky from the summit of Yushan Mountain, hanging horizontally and linking together to form a network, attempting to deduce the entrance to the Yunmeng Secret Realm.

However, the lingering resentment of an ancient demon god interfered with her location, making it difficult even for Bai Suzhen to pinpoint the exact location.

"Unless multiple celestial cultivators join forces..."

However, cultivators with celestial secrets are already rare, and now no one dares to participate in such a chaotic situation that defies the heavens and earth.
The wind and waves grew increasingly violent, and the dark clouds pressed down so heavily that it was hard to breathe.

People were restless and anxious, but Xu Xuan became increasingly silent.

Those familiar with him know that this is a prelude to the White Lotus Demon King's intention to "become inhuman."

In the land of Shu, above the Blood Pool.

The long-browed immortal's brows were furrowed, and his spiritual energy was boiling.

Three days later, he had already glimpsed the changes in Yunmengze through the Haotian Mirror, and had even extracted an unknown amount of spiritual energy to deduce the details.

"What a fine Lord of the Clouds!"

"How dare you carry the residual power of the ancient times, forcibly alter the evolution of heaven and earth, and even impact the destiny of humanity!"

The image in the mirror flickered, reflecting the towering waves of Dongting Lake and the gradually solidifying illusory image of Yunmeng.

But if Yunmeng were to descend and reverse the heavens and earth, would the opportunity for ascension to immortality still exist for Mount Shu?

After an incense stick had burned, the thought was extinguished by myself.

Why would a dignified Master Changmei use such an excuse to deceive his true intentions?

He'd do anything to become an immortal. Besides achieving immortality, eliminating a few powerful demons along the way was just a way to accumulate good karma.

With a flick of his sleeve, he sent out two beams of light that flew into the clouds.

The tortoise is named Xuan Gui and the snake is named Qing Ling. They are the Tortoise and Snake Swords among the Seven Swords of Shu Mountain!

The two spirits flew to Dongting Lake and, guided by the Haotian Mirror, plunged into the water veins.

"boom--"

The raging waters stabilized for a moment.

He stood with his long eyebrows behind his back, his eyes deep and unfathomable. In terms of the secrets of heaven, only the White Snake Emperor and the Grand Historian who wields the celestial sphere can compare to him.

Although it is impossible to bypass the lingering resentment of the demon god and directly deduce Yunmeng... it is still possible to do so by slightly eliminating interference.

"leftover……"

He looked at the black, blazing sun on Mount Yu in the mirror and snorted coldly.

"Let him do whatever he wants."

Just then, the moon was high in the sky, and the Milky Way was dazzling!
The eyes of Bai Suzhen reflected countless stars, and her white dress fluttered wildly in the wind.

Her magical power shone like the bright moonlight, reaching to the heavens and the earth, and suddenly she let out a cold shout—

"found it!"

"Seven Stars Descending Magic Array—Activate!"

Before he finished speaking, seven enormous beams of starlight descended from the sky.

Like a dragon soaring, like a sword slashing, carrying the force to destroy mountains and cleave seas, it slammed fiercely into a certain place in the void.

"boom--!!!"

A burst of light erupted, and the Milky Way spun.

The dazzling starlight transformed into layers of restrictions, like a net covering the sky and earth, locking the entrance to the Cloud Dream Secret Realm tightly.

The beings within the secret realm struggled frantically, attempting to teleport away again, but did they really think Bai Suzhen was without temper?!

"Having a demon god backing you up... is that so great?"

A chilling glint flashed in her eyes, and she flipped her jade-like hand—

"Open it!"

The violent magical power followed the starlight and pierced through the void, tearing the gap open!

"Click——!!!"

The sound of shattering was like thunder from the heavens, echoing for a long time in the storm.

The killing intent that Xu Xuan had been suppressing for so long suddenly erupted at this moment!
He raised his hand and unleashed a sword aura—the sword aura was chaotic yet extremely sharp, tearing apart the storm in the sky.

In an instant!
"Three feet of frost tempered the heavens, ten thousand years of ice forged its proud bones. Mount Shu still stands atop the clouds, its demon-slaying spirit shall be the first under heaven!"

Six sword lights flashed from the east, and Yan Chixia, carrying the Three Heroes, One Cloud, and Qi Jinchan, arrived on their swords.

"The gates of mystery open, bringing salvation to the world; a loyal heart illuminates all calamities. Not seeking immortality or enlightenment, but merely borrowing Penglai from the mortal realm."

A Taoist priest from the south arrived riding on clouds. Master Mao carried three divine swords on his back, followed by dozens of rogue cultivators, and also brought with him the wishes and power of millions of living beings around Dongting Lake.

"The Vajra's wrathful gaze calms the raging waves, Ksitigarbha's great vow delivers from the bitter cold. The Buddha's finger forms the mudra to subdue demons, and the vast expanse of turbulent waves transforms into lotus ponds."

The light of Buddha appeared in the west, and the chanting of sutras resounded through the heavens. Monk Qingyou, Abbot of Guangliang Temple, Monk Baizhu, Qilishi, and Qilicha arrived, carrying the profound heritage of Buddhism.

The roar of the dragon in the north echoed in response.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all of Baoan Hall's fighting forces had been assembled.

Water Lord, Taoist, Monk, Swordsman, Ghost King, White Lotus Demon King!

Xu Xuan took out three sticks of incense and bowed deeply to the Yuwang Temple.

Then, pointing with one hand at Dongting Lake—

"boom!!!"

The lake surface surged with towering waves, breaking through the demonic energy blockade of Yunmeng!

A bronze mask bursts forth from the water, ancient and weathered, yet exuding a chilling aura!
The waters of the Yangtze River stagnated for a moment.
A vibrant black robe and crimson skirt appeared from the void, as red and fiery as blood, and draped over Xu Xuan's body!
He raised his hand and put the mask on.

The cold sound pierced through the wind and rain, echoing for miles.

"today--"

"Slay demons and vanquish evil!"

　The Jiangnan series is coming to an end.
