Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

The three-headed demon wolf was trapped by the water-locking talisman.

This is an attack at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. With the attack power of the demon wolf at the late stage of Qi Refining, it won't be able to break free for a while.

Jiang Shi then checked the situation, and what he saw almost gave him a fright.

He wasn't intimidated by the demon wolf; he simply hadn't expected Lin Yanyi to be there.

Fortunately, he is now in the form created by the "Hundred Illusions and Thousand Faces Technique".

Ordinary people would not be able to discover his identity.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shi walked up to Liu Yue, stroked his beard, and smiled:

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I have successfully completed my mission."

"Good! Good! Good! As expected of Master Li! With your second-grade spirit talisman, we can overcome this crisis!" Liu Yue said excitedly.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what kind of monsters are these three? How could they destroy a market town for rogue cultivators?" Jiang Shi had just emerged from seclusion and was unaware of what had happened.

He saw that these three demonic wolves were only at the late stage of Qi Refining, yet they had managed to put Liu Yue and the other two in such a desperate situation.

This was something Jiang Shi could not have imagined.

"Master Li, you are unaware of something." Liu Yue sighed, his head aching at the thought of the demonic wolves, and continued, "These three are demonic wolves, immortal and indestructible, no ordinary creatures."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi immediately became alert.

He had heard of this demonic affliction before at the Qingyun Sect, and that affliction was the beginning of his defection from the Qingyun Sect.

I heard that countless people died or were injured that day; it was terrifying.

"So this is the scourge of the demonic path! Immortality is indeed difficult to deal with."

A cultivator's magical power can be exhausted; three immortal and indestructible demons of the same level can wear a cultivator down to death.

The Qingyun Sect was able to resolve the demonic threat so easily back then thanks to the Silver Light Flying Sword.

Sword cultivators' attack methods are unparalleled.

"Who are these two?" Jiang Shi asked, feigning curiosity.

"These two are the pride of the Qingyun Sect, and they were of great help during this demonic calamity," Liu Yue introduced to Jiang Shi.

Lu Wenming was very enthusiastic towards Jiang Shi. A master of talisman making is very important to the sect and is worth winning over.

If he could recruit a master talisman maker, he could immediately escape his current marginal status and become a core disciple.

Who knows, maybe I'll be able to compete for the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future!

"Now is not the time for idle chatter!" Lin Yanyi, having regained her magical power, walked over and addressed the crowd.

Her eyes weren't on Jiang Shi, but fixed on the three demonic wolves.

"That's right, those three demonic wolves are immortal. If we don't deal with them quickly, the consequences will be dire!" Liu Yue, reminded by Lin Yanyi, understood the current situation and became serious.

"Master Li, do you know how many of these second-grade low-level spirit talismans you have left?" Liu Yue asked Jiang Shi.

In fact, Jiang Shi still had nearly a hundred second-grade lower-level spirit talismans in his storage bag.

Not only that, he also had more than a dozen mid-grade second-rank spirit talismans, but he wouldn't tell Liu Yue the truth.

"In the past three months, I have been working hard to make talismans, but I have only managed to make twelve. I have used three of them, and now I have nine second-grade low-level water lock talismans left," Jiang Shi said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. With twelve cards, they could easily retreat even if they couldn't win.

"I suggest we retreat immediately. The demonic wolves are immortal and indestructible; we can't possibly handle them with just a few of us."

Lu Wenming said that if he could run away, he certainly wouldn't want to stay and fight.

"Master Li, and this junior sister, the troubles posed by the demonic path are numerous. If we don't resolve them now, the consequences will be dire," Liu Yue said.

Unlike Lu Wenming, Liu Yue, as the owner of the independent cultivator market, was certainly unwilling to easily abandon it.

This is what he painstakingly built over several decades.

If they leave, the Liu family will have nowhere to stand.

Now he wants to give it a try. Anyway, he has a second-grade low-level spirit talisman as a backup. Even if he fails, he can still retreat.

"With Master Li's talisman, even if we fail later, it's not too late to leave."

Lin Yanyi nodded, agreeing with Liu Yue's statement.

Jiang Shi was also very interested in this scourge of the demonic path.

If you don't take the opportunity to research this now, what if you encounter it alone again someday?

We need to investigate and find a solution.

"Fellow Daoist Liu is absolutely right. Go ahead and try it. The talisman I have will cover you." Jiang Shi said loudly.

Since he's not needed to fight anyway, he can just release talismans from a distance.

He would run away immediately if there was any danger.

Since all three agreed, Lu Wenming couldn't refuse.

Led by Lin Yanyi and followed by Liu Yue, they walked toward the controlled demon wolf.

Lin Yanyi held a bow in her left hand and a sword in her right.

In the superior-grade magic weapon longbow in her left hand, the wood-elemental spiritual energy, guided by Lin Yanyi, transformed into fire-elemental spiritual energy and flowed into the longsword in her right hand.

The sword is imbued with condensed flames, burning fiercely, and possesses extraordinary power.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Shi thought to himself, "The [Wood Generates Fire] technique can actually be used in this way! Lin Yanyi is truly a genius!"

Lin Yanyi thrust her flaming longsword at the head of the demon wolf.

This sword cut off half of the demon wolf's head.

It was completely empty; there was no brain inside.

The skull that had fallen to the ground was still wriggling, crawling toward the wolf's body.

"It can still move even without half a head. This demonic wolf is truly immortal!"

However, Jiang Shi thought to himself that this demonic wolf had no brains or organs, and was like a puppet.

How exactly does this creature move? It's impossible that it doesn't have a source of power.

He then thought of some novels he had read in his previous life.

Then he said, "I've heard of a kind of mechanical puppet that can move and fight on its own. It has a core that powers it with magic. Could this demonic wolf be the same?"

Jiang Shi's words made everyone thoughtful.

They had actually heard about this kind of thing before.

However, they were blinded by their own involvement and lacked the means to control the demon wolves for an extended period, preventing them from exploring the core of the demon puppet.

Now that I think about it, Jiang Shi's words do make a lot of sense.

"Master Li is absolutely right. Everything in the universe has a core, and this demonic wolf must be no exception."

"Junior sister of Qingyun Sect, find its core!" Liu Yue said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yanyi stopped hesitating, sheathed her sword, drew her longbow, and fired a series of flaming arrows, blasting the demon wolf's body apart.

The demon wolf shattered into pieces of flesh and blood.

Then the three of them began to examine each piece of flesh.

Jiang Shi watched them for a while, and the first second-grade low-level water lock talisman became ineffective, so he immediately replaced it with a second one.

They prevented the two demonic wolves from escaping.

The three of them worked together to fight a demonic wolf.

Two hours later, Lu Wenming suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Junior Sister Lin, look over there!"

Where Lu Wenming pointed, a piece of flesh resembling a heart lay there.

If it weren't for the occasional twitch, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Lin Yanyi did not answer when she heard this. Flames gathered on the long sword in her hand, and she pierced through the heart with one stroke. Then the flames surged wildly into it.

Burn it to ashes!
