Journey to the West: Deer Power Immortal, Starting from Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Lord Tais

The evil spirit hurriedly dodged, barely avoiding the sword's edge, but the sword light pierced through his body, slicing away a large portion of his yin energy.

"What a vicious magic weapon!" the evil spirit cried out in agony, no longer daring to take it head-on, and turned into black smoke to dodge in all directions.

How could Tiger Power Immortal let it escape? He smashed the tiger-headed hammer down, hitting the evil spirit squarely.

Struck by the tiger-head hammer, the evil spirit shuddered, fell out of the black smoke, and disappeared.

Upon closer inspection, the evil spirits were already at their last gasp.

"You've gone too far!" the evil spirit shrieked, its voice filled with resentment.

He suddenly stopped, no longer fleeing. The black smoke quickly condensed into a giant fox shadow over ten feet tall, with six tails thrashing wildly behind him.

"It's actually a fox demon!" Tiger Power Immortal exclaimed in surprise.

Fox spirits are masters of bewitching arts; no wonder they fall into illusions so easily. This evil spirit has such a background.

The evil spirit's pair of eerie green eyes stared intently at Lu Qingxuan and the other two demons, and an overwhelming aura of yin energy surged from its body, shrouding the entire dilapidated temple in darkness.

Lu Qingxuan stepped forward, his hands forming hand seals, and dark clouds rolled up above the dilapidated temple, emanating a powerful divine aura.

"Five Thunder Technique!"

Tiger Power Immortal saw the supernatural power that Lu Qingxuan had used and sighed inwardly.

This kind of pressure is indeed much stronger than when he used it.

Just how many tricks does my third brother still have up his sleeve...?

"Lei Lai!" Lu Qingxuan called out softly.

In an instant, dark clouds rolled across the sky, and a thunderbolt struck down from the heavens, its silvery light dispelling the black aura emanating from the dilapidated temple.

Thunder is the pure Yang energy of heaven and earth, which is specifically designed to destroy evil. Although the evil spirit was a demon cultivator, its physical body had long since been destroyed, so it was unable to resist. Half of its body was struck by the thunder, and its cries of agony were incessant.

"pity…"

Seeing that his attack had failed to kill the evil spirit, Lu Qingxuan felt a little regretful.

Although he had learned orthodox thunder magic, he was not proficient in it; otherwise, this strike would have annihilated the evil spirit.

Sensing the terror of the thunder magic, the evil spirit dared not resist. It raised its hand and summoned several wisps of souls, intending to swallow them to heal its injuries.

Just as Lu Qingxuan was about to unleash his lightning magic again, a dark light flashed in the void, and two chains burst forth, one as black as ink and the other as white as bone, silently binding the evil spirit tightly.

The evil spirit let out a miserable scream, as if it had encountered some great terror, and the soul in its hand scattered all over the ground.

The three demons felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and cautiously scanned their surroundings.

A sudden gust of cold wind rose in the temple, and the incense and candles that had been extinguished for a long time suddenly ignited.

Immediately afterwards, two figures slowly rose from the ground.

A figure dressed entirely in black, wearing a tall hat with the words "Peace Under Heaven" written on it.

One was dressed entirely in plain white, with the words "Seeing him brings wealth" written on his hat.

It was none other than the infamous Black and White Impermanence of the underworld!

Upon seeing the Black and White Impermanence, the evil spirits instantly became like mice before a cat, losing all their previous imposing manner.

"Evil spirit, why don't you surrender?" Black Impermanence tightened the chains in his hands, and black mist immediately rose from the evil spirit's body.

The evil spirit dared not move, and could only beg for mercy: "Grandpas, I know I was wrong..."

Black Impermanence spat and said, "You know you're wrong? You've been causing trouble in this area for hundreds of years, holding back over a hundred souls. The Underworld has long since put you on its list. If you hadn't been so secretive and adept at concealing your presence, how could you have survived until today?"

After saying that, Hei Wuchang turned his gaze to Lu Qingxuan and the other two demons, but when his gaze swept over Lu Qingxuan, he frowned.

They also knew something about the existence of the Three Immortals Shrine in the mortal realm.

Logically speaking, as underworld deities with divine positions, they should not entangle themselves with those rogue cultivators who have not yet entered the immortal register. However, they did not expect that one of these demons was actually cultivating the Golden Core Dao.

Could this demon be related to the Dao Ancestor?

Immediately, Hei Wuchang clasped his hands in thanks to Lu Qingxuan and said, "Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for the fact that your battle with that evil spirit revealed our location, we would have had a hard time finding this place."

"I wonder if it would be possible to hand this evil spirit over to us so we can submit it to the underworld?"

They had been pursuing this evil spirit for decades, but it always managed to escape by hiding. In addition, as Yin spirits, they had many trivial matters to attend to and could not keep an eye on the evil spirit's movements all the time, which gave the evil spirit an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Now, all that's needed is to take it back to the underworld, and the matter will be considered settled.

"You two are too kind. We were only responding to the people's request. But what should we do with this evil spirit once it's been captured and brought back to the underworld?" Lu Qingxuan asked.

The White Impermanence said, "According to the laws of the underworld, devouring the soul of someone whose lifespan has not yet ended is a crime equivalent to murder, and one should be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, never to be reborn."

However, since it devoured so many, most of them likely met a fate of being utterly destroyed, saving it the trouble of being executed by the underworld.

"In that case, I would like to trouble you two esteemed officers to take this fellow away for punishment," Lu Qingxuan replied.

The initial inquiry was merely to ascertain the fate of this evil spirit; now that they know, they naturally will not refuse.

Furthermore,

The Black and White Impermanence are among the most powerful underworld officials, so he would not antagonize them because of the evil spirit.

What's more, this Black Impermanence was being so polite.

"Then thank you all."

Black Impermanence nodded, his gaze sweeping over the departed souls, and suddenly asked, "Are the three of you here to save these people?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded and briefly explained the whole story.

Upon hearing this, both Black and White Impermanence looked at the three demons with a hint of surprise.

There are many immortals and gods who eat incense offerings from the mortal world, but it is rare to see one so dedicated and conscientious. Moreover, these three demons have not yet entered the ranks of immortals, which is truly admirable.

"These souls have been separated from their bodies for many days. Even if they return, they may not be able to fully recover. I have a few pills here that can help repair the souls. I will give them to the three of you this time." Bai Wuchang flipped his hand and took out a few pills.

These people haven't reached the end of their lifespan. If they are taken back to the underworld, they won't be able to reincarnate immediately, and it will only cause some trouble. Now that Lu Qingxuan and the three demons want to save them, they naturally won't refuse.

As for the elixirs, consider them as payment for the three demons helping them capture the evil spirits.

"Thank you, esteemed officials." Lu Qingxuan reached out and accepted the gift.

Although he could also refine the Resurrection Pill, it would take him some time. Now that Bai Wuchang was offering it to him, he naturally wouldn't refuse such a kind offer.

Furthermore, this also allows one to establish a connection with the Black and White Impermanence, killing two birds with one stone—why not?

"Gentlemen, now that this matter is settled, we will return to the Underworld to report. If you have any free time in the future, you are welcome to visit us in the Underworld. We will certainly treat you well." Black Impermanence pulled on the chain, lifted the evil spirit up, and cupped his hands in greeting to the three demons.

"Please take your time, Your Excellencies," said Lu Qingxuan.

The Black and White Impermanence nodded and led the evil spirit into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing that the Black and White Impermanence had left, the two demons, Tiger Power and Sheep Power, finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was their first time seeing the underworld officials, so they couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

However, the two demons did not take the visit to the underworld seriously, regarding it as mere polite talk.

However, a thorny issue awaits them here.

Those spirits only recognized Xiao Bao; they had never seen the others before. How could they be brought back to life?

If these souls were intact, it might be possible to inquire about them, but given the current situation, the chances of obtaining any information are slim...
