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

For the next few days, Lu Qingxuan did not leave the quiet room. With the help of the immortal fruit and pills, his cultivation level was completely stabilized at the mid-stage of the Profound Immortal realm.

During this time, he also took the opportunity to refine the purple alchemy furnace, making it compatible with his own mind, so that it could be used in future battles.

It's just unknown what the outcome will be if he faces the Great King of Inspiration with his current strength.

I imagine they won't be as helpless as they were last time.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingxuan couldn't help but look at the alchemy furnace in his hand. It was a great magic weapon, combining offense and defense and could also be used to refine pills.

Just as Lu Qingxuan was immersed in the improvement of his own strength, a strange sense of irritation surged up.

This is...

Lu Qingxuan did some quick calculations with his fingers, and his expression changed drastically.

Someone was actually destroying their Three Immortals Shrine!

He had just used the power of incense offerings to overcome the heavenly tribulation when someone attacked the Three Immortals Temple.

This is clearly someone targeting him.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Qingxuan summoned the two demons, Huli and Yangli. Upon learning that the Three Immortals Shrine had been destroyed, the two demons' eyes were filled with anger.

"How dare you!"

Tiger Power Immortal's face darkened, and he clenched his fists: "Third Brother, do you know who did this?"

Lu Qingxuan closed his eyes and spread his divine sense outwards, carefully sensing the scene before the incense and vows were severed.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze as cold as ice.

"They are demons, and there's more than one. We've both seen some of their auras at the Hundred Demon Banquet."

Upon hearing this, Yangli Daxian's expression turned somewhat grim: "The Hundred Demon Banquet? You mean, the Demon Kings?"

Lu Qingxuan nodded.

Those figures appeared in his senses, their demonic aura soaring to the sky. They led a group of lesser demons into the Three Immortals Shrine, smashed the statues, overturned the incense table, and drove away the people who came to offer incense.

Leading the group were the three demon kings who had appeared at the Hundred Demon Banquet!

"I'm afraid there's something fishy about this..." said the Great Immortal Yangli calmly.

If it were about incense offerings, these demon kings would have acted long ago; why wait until now?

Furthermore, although smashing a statue of a deity will not incur karma, it will still incur immense karmic consequences. These demon kings dared to do this even knowing the strength of the three demons, which makes one think deeply.

Did they break through to a higher level, or is there someone else behind them?

"No matter what, it's true that they bullied the people and smashed our statues, so we can't just let it go like this," Tiger Power Immortal sneered.

Lu Qingxuan nodded, his gaze fixed on the distance as he carefully sensed the locations of the Three Immortals Shrines. Without exception, they were all places where he had once saved people.

Those demon kings chose to smash these shrines to the Three Immortals, clearly intending to destroy his foundation and extinguish his incense offerings.

If they go separately, they will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position, but if they go together, the efficiency will be much slower.

By the time they arrived, the demon kings had already vanished without a trace.

Such methods could not possibly have been performed without guidance.

But who is behind this?

They have been practicing in Zhongnan Mountain for many years, and the number of people they have offended is very small.

After a long while, Lu Qingxuan looked at the two demons and said, "Brothers, take these pills. If things don't work out, retreat immediately."

After saying that, Lu Qingxuan took out several bottles of pills and handed them to the two demons, Hu Li and Yang Li.

Regardless of who is behind it, those demon kings must have come prepared since they dared to make a move. Tiger Power and Sheep Power have not yet broken through in cultivation. They can deal with one or two demon kings, but if they are surrounded, their lives may be in danger.

Hu Li and Yang Li exchanged a glance, understanding what Lu Qingxuan meant: "Alright, Third Brother, be careful too. If anything goes wrong, inform us immediately."

Lu Qingxuan nodded, chose a location to go to, and the three demons rode on clouds, transforming into three streaks of light that streaked across the sky and sped away.

...

at the same time,

A hundred miles away, at Black Cloud Ridge, three figures were gathered around a stone table.

The head of the table was none other than the Black Cloud King, a burly man with thick black fur standing upright in the wind. At this moment, he was holding a wine bowl in his hand, taking big gulps of wine, which flowed down the corners of his mouth and wet the black fur on his chest.

Sitting next to him was a snake spirit with vertical pupils that were as cold as ice, and a chilling aura emanating from her body.

On the right is the Fox King of Qingfeng Mountain, with a face like jade and the appearance of a scholar. He is holding a folding fan and looks like a scholar going to the capital for the imperial examination.

However, the painting on the fan did not depict landscapes, flowers, or birds, but rather a lifelike white fox with crimson eyes, exuding a somewhat eerie aura.

Several plates of wild game were placed in front of the three demons, but no one touched them.

"Gentlemen,"

King Black Cloud put down his wine bowl, wiped his mouth, and his small eyes swept over the faces of the Snake Demon and the Fox King. He said in a deep voice, "The Three Immortals Shrine has been smashed, and the incense offerings have been cut off. Those three hairy demons should be making a move soon. Tell me, what should we do next?"

The snake demon sneered, her voice sharp and hissing like a snake's: "How to deal with it? We'll meet force with force, and water with water. Of those three hairy demons, only Lu Qingxuan has some ability; the other two have only been in human form for a few hundred years. What's there to worry about?"

The fox demon shook her folding fan, a faint smile playing on her lips.

Seeing his expression, King Black Cloud frowned: "Old fox, give me a straight answer. You came up with the idea, and now that things are urgent, you're playing dumb?"

The Fox King then closed his folding fan and said slowly, "What's the rush? Just as Brother Snake said, of the three demons, only Lu Qingxuan is worthy of consideration. Even if he comes, so what? Besides, don't we have someone backing us?"

The snake spirit sneered, "Who exactly is that person? You've been hiding it and refusing to say it outright. If we smash up the Three Immortals Shrine and offend someone we can't afford to offend, how will we settle this score?"

The Fox King laughed and said, "Don't worry, that person has a very powerful background. Not to mention a little Lu Qingxuan, even if there were some old immortals on Zhongnan Mountain, they wouldn't dare to offend him easily."

"Oh? Who is that person? Why would he make you react like this?"

The Fox King lowered his voice and tapped his folding fan lightly on the table: "That person is a disciple of the Bodhisattva."

King Black Cloud and the Snake Demon were both taken aback, exchanged a glance, and their eyes were full of surprise.

"Under the Bodhisattva's command?" King Black Cloud frowned. "Why would the Bodhisattva's people need to deal with a few hairy demons?"

The Fox King waved his fan and said unhurriedly, "I don't know the specific reasons. I only know that the person said that as long as we smash the Three Immortals Shrine and cut off Lu Qingxuan's incense offerings, we will be richly rewarded in the future, and..."

"That person also promised that after the matter was completed, he would give each of us a special opportunity to help us advance further!"

The snake demon's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, clearly moved by the offer.

The opportunities mentioned by those under the Bodhisattva's guidance are naturally significant; they might even be able to break through to the Xuanxian realm!

Unlike the snake demon, King Black Cloud was not easily bewitched. He said in a deep voice, "Since that person is a disciple of a Bodhisattva, his strength is naturally extraordinary. Why doesn't he do it himself, but instead uses us as his agents?"

The Fox King shook his head: "I don't know. Maybe it's inconvenient, or maybe he thinks it's overkill to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Anyway, that person said that as long as we accomplish this, he will recommend us to the Bodhisattva, leading us away from the demonic path and helping us achieve enlightenment!"
