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

There was a moment of silence in the cave.

King Black Cloud picked up his wine bowl, downed it in one gulp, and slammed the bowl heavily on the table with a loud thud. "Fine! With such a powerful backer, what do I have to fear? If Lu Qingxuan comes, I'll smash his head in with a hammer!"

The snake spirit nodded, a smile appearing on her cold face: "As for Tiger Power and Sheep Power, although their strength is not as great as Deer Qingxuan's, they should not be underestimated. Let's split up and each guard a place, waiting for them to come to us!"

The Fox King waved his hand, "No need to split up. In my opinion, those three demons will definitely come separately. Tiger is reckless, Sheep is cautious, and Deer Qingxuan is steady. This is our opportunity!"

He drew three lines on the table with his finger. "The three of us will take care of one of them first. Even if the remaining two are incredibly powerful, they won't be a threat with one of them as a hostage."

King Black Cloud's eyes lit up: "Excellent!"

"Where shall we go first?" the snake spirit asked.

The Fox King pondered for a moment, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips: "Then let's choose the banks of the Clear Water River..."

...

After Lu Qingxuan flew on the clouds for about an hour, the Qingshui River came into view.

He paused above the riverbank, descended from the clouds, and landed in front of the destroyed Three Immortals Shrine.

Broken walls and ruins, the ground littered with debris.

The statue was smashed to pieces, and the incense ash from the incense burner was scattered all over the ground, blown about by the wind.

Deep scratches remained on the wall, and there were burn marks on the door frame.

Fortunately, no civilians were injured, but a few people were violently driven away by the demons and sustained minor injuries.

Lu Qingxuan stood in the center of the ruins, his eyes closed, carefully examining the traces left behind.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and looked towards the southeast.

"King of Black Clouds..."

Lu Qingxuan muttered to himself, his fingers gently calculating.

Black Cloud Ridge is over a hundred miles away, and with the Black Cloud King's speed, he can make a round trip in half a day.

But the Three Immortals Shrine was destroyed yesterday, and the Black Cloud King should have already returned to his lair by now.

Just as he was about to take off, a chill ran through him.

wrong!

This place not only has the aura of the Black Cloud King, but judging from the remaining demonic energy, there are at least three demon king-level beings.

Lu Qingxuan frowned slightly and expanded his divine sense to its limit, covering an area of ​​about a hundred miles in radius.

After a while,

His divine sense detected three demonic energies converging in one place. Although the three demonic energies had mostly subsided, he still keenly perceived them.

Judging from its demonic appearance, it seems to be heading this way.

Lu Qingxuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.

"You expect me to come to you?"

He immediately moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of green light, and headed towards the three demons.

Meanwhile, inside the valley, the Black Cloud King, the Snake Spirit, and the Fox King were sitting cross-legged on a boulder, meditating with their eyes closed.

The auras of the three demons intertwined, forming a faint barrier that enveloped the valley.

Suddenly, the Fox King opened his eyes, a smile playing on his lips: "They've arrived!"

The Black Cloud King and the Snake Demon opened their eyes at the same time and looked towards the northern horizon.

There, a streak of azure light was flying toward them at an extremely fast speed. Although the light was not dazzling, it carried a chilling aura.

King Black Cloud gripped his iron hammer tightly, grinning, "You came quickly!"

The snake spirit licked her lips, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her vertical pupils.

The Fox King stood up, closed his folding fan, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the approaching blue light. There was no tension in his eyes, but rather a hint of amusement.

"Lu Qingxuan, let me see just how capable you really are!" he said softly.

Above the valley, the blue light disc circled once and slowly descended.

Lu Qingxuan stood atop a cloud, looking down at the three demon kings below with eyes like lightning and a calm voice: "The three of you, I've arrived. Why don't you come out and greet me?"

The three demons flashed and appeared in mid-air.

King Black Cloud looked at Lu Qingxuan and grinned, "Fellow Daoist Lu, we meet again."

"I'm afraid I can't accept the title of 'fellow Daoist' from the Black Cloud King. You've destroyed my ancestral hall and cut off my incense offerings. This matter is unlikely to end well," Lu Qingxuan sneered.

"Hmph! Lu Qingxuan, you're just a hairy demon, how dare you put on airs in front of me? When I was in the demon realm, you were still suckling at your mother's breast!" The snake demon's face darkened.

"So it's a snake spirit. I may be wondering who it is, but I do have some methods for dealing with snake spirits. Would you like to give them a try?" Lu Qingxuan said with a faint smile.

"you!"

Just as the snake spirit was about to unleash her attack, the Fox King stopped her, turning his gaze to Lu Qingxuan and bowing slightly: "Fellow Daoist Lu, it's an honor to meet you. Today, I'm truly impressed by your extraordinary bearing. However, having traveled so far, I'm afraid you may not know that you've destroyed more than one of your Three Immortals Shrines?"

Lu Qingxuan remained expressionless and said calmly, "I know."

The Fox King was slightly taken aback, then laughed and said, "It's good that you know. However, Fellow Daoist Lu came alone, but sent your two elder brothers elsewhere. Tsk tsk tsk..."

"I'm afraid that by now, your two elder brothers are likely dead..."

Lu Qingxuan frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure. He flipped his hand and took out the purple alchemy furnace from his sleeve, holding it in his palm.

The furnace body gleamed with a purple light under the sunlight.

"There's no need for the Fox King to worry about that. I've come here today solely for you all," Lu Qingxuan said calmly.

King Black Cloud laughed loudly, raised his iron hammer, and leaped into the air, pouncing towards Lu Qingxuan: "Then I'll test Fellow Daoist Lu's skills!"

The iron hammer was the size of a millstone, jet black, forged from black iron, and weighed over a thousand jin. One blow could smash a small mountain into a hole.

Lu Qingxuan neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but instead threw out the alchemy furnace in his hand.

"clang!"

A loud bang sent rocks tumbling down the valley floor.

The hammer slammed into the alchemy furnace, sparks flying everywhere. King Black Cloud felt a powerful force rebound back, making his hands go numb and the hammer almost slip from his grasp.

He swayed and landed back on the ground, stumbling back several steps. Looking at Lu Qingxuan again, he was completely still, not even his robes fluttered.

King Black Cloud's expression changed slightly. He had poured seventy percent of his strength into this hammer blow, and even a demon king of the same realm would not dare to directly counter it. Yet Lu Qingxuan had blocked it so easily.

"My darling!"

King Black Cloud stared at the purple alchemy furnace, a greedy glint in his eyes: "This furnace is quite good; I'll gladly accept it!"

Lu Qingxuan said calmly, "That depends on whether you have the ability."

Seeing that Black Cloud King's attack had failed, the snake demon snorted coldly, twisted her body, and transformed into a wisp of green smoke, silently attacking Lu Qingxuan's side.

His speed was astonishing; he arrived beside Lu Qingxuan in the blink of an eye, his five fingers forming claws as he thrust them straight into Lu Qingxuan's ribs.

Without turning his head, Lu Qingxuan waved his sleeve, and a gentle breeze arose from his sleeve, deflecting the snake demon's attack.

The snake demon felt an overwhelming force crashing down on her, sending her flying several meters away, rolling several times on the ground before coming to a stop...
