Shulong Daojun

Li Ye cast a questioning glance at him.

The burly man went straight up to them, his smile growing wider, and said bluntly, "Once the Taoist sect you speak of finds that beast, the two sides will inevitably have a fierce battle."

The Taoist sects will be preoccupied with one thing and neglect another, leaving those cities undefended, which will be our opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

With no immortal avatars guarding the city, the people within are like peaches on a tree, easily picked and sweetly enjoyed.

At this point, he suddenly closed his eyes, swirled his tongue around, and revealed a look of lingering satisfaction.

He suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Li Ye, and said greedily, "At that time, all we need to do is provide cover as you did back then, and we can break into the city."

Eat some people, have a hearty meal, improve your cultivation along the way, and return home safely.

This is not difficult; you don't need to exert your full strength.

Having said that, the burly man smiled and then asked in return, "Shouldn't you be able to help?"

Li Ye frowned subconsciously.

After weighing the risks in his mind, he finally spoke after a moment: "Delaying for a few breaths is not a problem."

If they linger any longer, their origins may be exposed, and the Taoist sect may discover something amiss, thus bringing trouble upon themselves.

What do you think, brother?

Before he finished speaking, the burly man's face was full of joy. He nodded and laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good! A few breaths will suffice."

You're all quite good, much better than that human cultivator with the gourd, hahahaha.

Li Ye frowned slightly, secretly displeased.

A demon is a demon. Even if it takes on human form and learns some human speech, it cannot change its demonic nature.

They make a living by plundering and devouring, skilled in technique but lacking in morality.

However, the words of the grotesque man reminded him.

That opportunity might be worth taking advantage of.

While the Daoist sect is busy dealing with the turbid whale and saving the city, the Demonic sect will have a good opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, with its disciples capturing Daoist outposts and seizing Fuyuan's land.

The proverb "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits" perfectly illustrates this principle.

However, arrangements still need to be made in advance.

Thinking of this, Li Ye had no intention of staying any longer and immediately said, "I will do as you say, brother."

Time is of the essence, so I will return to my sect now and inform the other four Earth Immortals of this matter so that they may be prepared.

Then I'll take my leave.

Having said that, he bowed slightly, and with a flicker, disappeared.

A hint of amusement flickered in the burly man's eyes.

Three or four breaths later, her body suddenly transformed into a beautiful snake with a charming face, twisting her slender waist as she slowly swam toward another hidden crevice.

She hadn't gone far when she frowned and murmured, "Strange, why is the water elemental energy between the earth's veins so active?"

Is a torrential rain approaching? Or is a water-based treasure about to appear?

I must speak with my elder brother about this matter; please pay close attention.

Then, it transformed into a dark golden python and disappeared.

......

A place where old and new veins meet.

Before returning to the main base, Lin Shu looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and felt the dampness of the surrounding air, and his expression suddenly became serious.

After pondering for a moment, he turned to Lu Youzhi, Mu Qiushui and the others and said softly, "There may be heavy rain in the next few days. At that time, the water elemental energy in the earth veins will surge wildly, which will not be suitable for connecting the earth veins."

Let's put aside our studies for now and wait a few days until the heavy rain passes.

This is also a good opportunity for my fellow disciples to get some rest; you've all worked hard these past few days.

Lu Youzhi and the others all shook their heads, cupped their hands, and said, "Master, you flatter us. We should do our best."

As disciples, they naturally obeyed Lin Shu's arrangements without any dissatisfaction.

After all, it was thanks to the diligent teaching of their teacher, and the discovery of a good place to lead them there, that they were able to make such progress in the method of sorting out the earth's veins.

There is also communication among the disciples.

During their rest, they also heard complaints from the disciples taught by other masters: they had to change locations frequently in order to find suitable places to practice, which reduced their practice time considerably.

Unlike me, I can freely choose and practice here.

Thinking of this, Lu Youzhi and the others all cast grateful glances at Lin Shu.

Lin Shu smiled slightly, said nothing more, and with a wave of his divine power, he carried Mu Qiushui and the others back along the original route.

After parting ways with everyone, he returned to the courtyard, found the palm-sized dragon shape, and with a surge of magic power, transformed it into an oil-paper umbrella, which he quietly placed beside him.

A short while later, he picked up the oil-paper umbrella again, stroked it, and muttered to himself, "Tomorrow, a heavy rain is coming—"

The next day.

Thick clouds pressed down from the dark sky, stretching for thousands of miles, yet appearing precarious, sinking deeper and deeper into the earth below.

On the ground, a turbid whale let out a mournful cry and suddenly soared high into the sky.

It immediately flicked its tail fin, turned its body around, head down, and crashed heavily to the ground with a deafening roar.

The barnacles on the whale's body fell off and scattered in all directions, landing with a loud thud.

However, once it regained its footing, it suddenly sprang up again, lunging at the muddy whale and attaching itself to its body once more.

Not far away, the seven Earth Immortals, including Shouzheng, frowned and watched silently.

A few days ago, they had already found the muddy whale by following its mournful cries.

However, it seemed to have been driven mad by the barnacle demon on its body, and kept crashing into mountains and slamming into the ground, damaging itself, and seemed to be seeking death.

During this time, in order to force the group of hidden earth immortals to show themselves, they secretly held back a bit of their strength and launched a feint attack with Taoist magic.

Unexpectedly, the Earth Immortal did not appear, but instead caused the turbid whale to let out a joyful roar and willingly accept the situation.

How strange.

"Elder, since we cannot lure out that group of Earth Immortals with this turbid whale, let's simply carry out the exorcism and kill it."

The short Taoist priest suddenly spoke up, looked at Shouzheng, and laughed, "Keeping him alive is of no use; on the contrary, it will only harm the people. It's better for him to die."

Shouzheng picked up his wine gourd, narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and uttered a single word: "Execute."

The demons are not human, they are bloodthirsty and gluttonous.

Even though the whale's actions at this moment were somewhat pitiful, it still could not be kept alive.

Upon hearing this, the short Taoist priest excitedly cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the elder's command."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a big step forward and was in front of the turbid whale in an instant. He then changed his palm into a fist and tried to penetrate the whale's body.

As if sensing the murderous intent, the muddy whale joyfully rolled over, revealing its soft belly, and let out a cry of delight.

Before the short Taoist priest's fist landed, a few drops of rain began to fall.

next moment.

The vast darkness swallowed up the light of the sky, and the world suddenly turned dark. Everything was pitch black, with only the sound of rain growing louder and louder.

Just then, a streak of blue flame shot out from the ground and soared into the sky.

It immediately burst into flames that filled the sky, instantly igniting something and producing a crackling sound.

However, Shouzheng, seeing the change in the heavens, suddenly remembered what had happened a few days ago, and thus took action.

Such tricks are mere trifles.

How can one fall for the same trick every time?

as predicted.

Three or four breaths later, the sky suddenly brightened, and the world returned to its original brightness, revealing a breathtaking scene.

Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of cracks appeared in the ground, from which a dark, surging tide of evil spirits emerged and surged toward the nearest city, threatening to engulf it.
