The concept of a born saint begins with Strange Tales from Liaozhai.

Because he did not conceal his figure or movements, he was noticed by the Tree Demon Granny, Yan Chixia, and other female ghosts as soon as he approached.

What is this?

Chapter 40 Immortal, you've come too?

In the pitch-black night.

The eerie Lanruo Temple.

A young man, dressed in a moon-white silk robe, with fair skin, handsome features, and an air of refined elegance and aloofness, walked slowly towards them.

Looking at this handsome and refined young man, Yan Chixia, the Tree Demon Granny, Xiao Lian, and the other female ghosts were all taken aback.

No matter how they looked at it, there was a sense of incongruity between the eerie Lanruo Temple and the young man before them.

This refined and elegant young man doesn't seem like the type to appear in a place like this, let alone at this time.

Who is he?

The sounds of blood and gore are uncertain.

Just then, Ning Caichen, who was in the crowd, suddenly paused, and then an undisguised look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Young man, it's you!"

As soon as he uttered that sound, all eyes turned to him.

“Scholar, you mean…” Yan Chixia’s expression shifted, his tone filled with surprise.

Ning Caichen nodded excitedly and said, "That's right, Great Hero Yan! This is the young brother I told you about before I came to Lanruo Temple. He was the one who predicted that my Red Phoenix Star was about to move and that I would soon face a calamity!"

"I went to ask him for help, and he said the time had come and he would lend a hand. I thought he wasn't coming, but I didn't expect him to actually come!"

"That's great, Master Yan! With this young man's help, we'll definitely be able to defeat this old hag!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chixia's face showed a look of sudden realization, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He quietly observed the exceptionally handsome and refined young man before him.

So this is the young man that the scholar Ning Caichen was talking about?

"Young brother, if we join forces today, this old hag will surely be doomed!"

Yan Chixia laughed heartily.

If he were alone, dealing with this tree demon would still be somewhat dangerous, but with the addition of this mysterious young man, the chances of victory would undoubtedly be much greater!

The words were spoken.

Not far away.

Hidden behind the broken wall and ancient tree, the female ghosts, including Xiao Lian, who had been spying, showed a look of sudden realization.

So this handsome young man was hired by Ning Caichen to deal with Granny?

"Hmph, so what if we call one more person? Even if there's one more person, they still won't be a match for Grandma!"

Xiao Lian said with a cold laugh.

The female ghosts, including Qiuyue, stared intently at the scene not far away.

Who will win?

At this moment.

Upon hearing this, the Tree Demon Granny's swollen face immediately darkened, and she shrieked, "So, these are the helpers you invited?"

"What can a little brat do to me?"

"None of you will escape today!"

Her eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a sinister aura suddenly arose, clearly indicating that she intended to strike first.

Yan Chixia's expression also hardened, and he secretly channeled his magic power, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

However, just as the two sides were about to take action...

A series of hurried footsteps came from afar.

The fishy-smelling baby snored in unison, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

An elderly Taoist priest, with white hair and beard, a lean yet vigorous face, hurried to the young man's side, bowed deeply, and spoke with utmost respect.

"Immortal, I never expected you to arrive as well."

This sound echoed clearly in the howling wind of Lanruo Temple.

A celestial being?!

At this moment, whether it was the Tree Demon Granny, Yan Chixia, or the female ghosts like Nie Xiaoqian and Xiao Lian, they were all stunned in place.

Even the Tree Demon Granny's originally concentrated demonic power was momentarily disrupted.

"Playing tricks!" She forced herself to remain calm, sneered, and secretly channeled her demonic power to spy on the old man and the young man.

The old Taoist priest was unremarkable, though he possessed some Taoist skills; he was nothing to fear.

But when her gaze actually fell on the boy...

Everything has changed!

The boy's aura suddenly became clear and bright.

Her hair and skin glowed with a faint luster, like jade shining brightly, or like moonlight reflecting off her body.

A gentle, clear halo appeared behind his head, neither blazing nor intense, yet illuminating the surroundings.

The bright sunlight shone down, illuminating the dark and gloomy Lanruo Temple as if it were daytime.

"This is... an immortal... an immortal?"

The Tree Demon Granny's voice trembled, and the ferocious look on her face instantly collapsed, leaving only fear and horror.

Upon hearing this, the female ghosts Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia, Nie Xiaoqian, and Xiao Lian were all stunned.

"What is that tree demon grandma saying?"

"What immortal?"

Before they could even react, the Tree Demon Granny looked shocked and terrified, and tried to run away.

Su Chen shook his head and sighed softly, knowing he couldn't keep up the pretense any longer.

Boom!

A pure and ethereal energy burst forth like a tide, as if the purest power in the world had been awakened in an instant.

An invisible pressure suddenly spread.

The air seemed to sink.

Under this oppressive aura, Yan Chixia and the others' expressions changed drastically. They felt as if a heavy hammer had struck their chests, making it difficult to breathe, and they almost subconsciously retreated one after another.

This terrifying magical power was unleashed without reservation, pressing directly onto the Tree Demon Granny.

Her body, which was about to flee, suddenly froze. Her entire body, which was formed from demonic power and yin energy, seemed to be nailed to the spot, unable to make the slightest movement.

His pale, swollen face was a mixture of shock, horror, and disbelief.

This moment.

The female ghosts Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen, Nie Xiaoqian, Xiao Lian, and even the Taoist Master Xuanqingzi all showed an undisguised look of shock on their faces.

Su Chen's figure slowly floated up.

As he began to use his magical powers, the abnormalities on his body could no longer be concealed.

In the dim and gloomy Lanruo Temple, a bright moon seemed to suddenly illuminate the space.

The bright, gentle light shone down, dispelling the pervasive yin energy.

Three thousand strands of jet-black hair moved without wind, like waves of ink surging in the night. A faint glow shone on her skin, like the radiance of jade or the reflection of moonlight.

Wisps of pure, ethereal energy emanated from his body, swirling endlessly around him.

next moment.

A faint halo appeared quietly behind his head.

It is neither scorching nor intense, yet as clear as the moon, illuminating all directions.

Bathed in the light, Su Chen's figure appeared even more pristine, as if he had already transcended the mundane world and stood apart from humanity.

The bright light slowly shone down, illuminating the night sky and the Lanruo Temple.

At this moment, Lanruo Temple was as bright as day, as if a bright moon had appeared out of the sky.

"A deity?" Yan Chixia exclaimed in disbelief.

Ning Caichen was dumbfounded, staring blankly at the scene, feeling that his understanding of the past twenty years had been completely shattered at this moment.

He always believed in the saying, "The Master did not speak of strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits."

Even though he had seen Nie Xiaoqian with his own eyes and knew that ghosts existed in the world, he never truly believed that gods and immortals really existed.

But now he believes it!

Ning Caichen stood frozen in place, almost forgetting to breathe.

Nie Xiaoqian looked dazed, her eyes filled with awe.

Not far away.

The female ghosts, including Xiao Lian, who were hiding behind the broken wall and ancient tree, were also completely stunned by this scene.

"It's...it's him..."

"The immortal I saw that day..."

Chapter 41 The Immortal Who Descended Upon Lanruo Temple?!

Xiao Lian's voice trembled as she murmured in terror, "I didn't see wrong... there really are immortals in this world!"

The female ghosts, including Qiuyue, finally came to their senses, their faces filled with confusion and disorientation.

They thought Xiao Lian had misjudged him back then, but who would have thought!

Could it be that immortals and gods truly descended upon such a remote place as Guobei County?!

And this moment.

Under the pressure of terrifying power, the last shred of hope in the Tree Demon Granny's heart completely collapsed.

The young man before me is either an immortal or an enlightened being!

If I had known this would happen, I should have believed Xiao Lian's words back then.

Xiao Lian told her what had happened, but she didn't understand. She just assumed that Xiao Lian had made a mistake and mistook the expert or Taoist priest who came to Guobei County for an immortal.

After all, spiritual energy has dissipated these days. Not to mention humans, even demons find it difficult to cultivate. How could immortals possibly appear?

If gods truly existed, the world wouldn't have become like this...

But things turned out to be completely different from what she expected; there really were immortals?!

Just as she was filled with shock.

Su Chen floated in the air above Lanruo Temple, his expression calm, looking down at the tree demon Granny, Yan Chixia, Ning Caichen and others who were all terrified.

The tree demon grandmother looked terrified, her tone suddenly changing, "Immortal... Immortal Master, please forgive me!"

"You little demon, you are blind and ignorant, unaware that a celestial being has descended!"

She immediately humbled herself, pleading, "I am a tree spirit who has become an immortal; cultivation is not easy."

"May the immortals remember your thousand years of arduous cultivation and spare this lowly demon's worthless life..."

Su Chen shook his head, his expression indifferent.

It was as if the tree demon's pleas and fear were nothing more than noise in the wind to him.

He was too lazy to listen to her say another word.

The next moment, he lightly flicked his sleeve.
