The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

Ma Hu felt even more ashamed. Shan Ji and Gan An wanted to step forward to plead for him, but Gong Baiwan stopped them.

Gong Baiwan also looked at Li Xiaobai with curiosity. This guy clearly didn't mean to blame anyone, so what was he doing?

"It's my fault for being incompetent; I couldn't even protect your elixir." Ma Hu lowered his head. He was, after all, a local leader! Now he had no choice but to acknowledge another demon as his leader and even sign this ridiculous master-servant contract…

Not long after, things went awry! How are we going to survive the next thousand years...?

"fart!!"

Li Xiaobai went straight up and grabbed the donkey's hair.

"Damn it, you knew you couldn't win, so why didn't you run? Is a little bit of cheap chicken cutlet medicine worth your life? At least you're injured. If you died, would I be the one to collect your corpse?"

Li Xiaobai's voice and expression were both stern.

Many demons showed expressions of surprise.

Demons including Ma Hu said, "No matter how much stuff you lose, you can get it back; no matter how big the grudge, you can get revenge. But if you damage your foundation, where am I supposed to repair it for you?"

With that, Li Xiaobai glared fiercely at the demons, especially at the pheasant and the others: "You all better remember this: worldly possessions are nothing but material things, don't risk your lives!"

"Damn it, this donkey-like bastard, with so many demons around, he dares to go up and fight with just a few henchmen? If this weren't in the Demon Forest, he'd have been beaten to death and made into donkey meat sandwiches by now!"

Gong Baiwan and the other two demons turned their heads to the side, while Ma Hu was moved but still said seriously, "I understand, Boss Snake. There's a saying that goes, 'As long as you're young, there's always firewood to burn.'"

*Smack!*

Li Xiaobai slapped his forehead and gritted his teeth, saying, "That's called 'Where there's life, there's hope!'"

"hey-hey."

Seeing that Ma Hu was alright, Gan An dismissed the thugs to repair some of the trampled but still usable rice seedlings.

The five demons sat casually on the ridge of the field, while Li Xiaobai cracked open the tender rice stalks and cracked them open like melon seeds.

"Tell me, what's the deal with that pack of dogs? Didn't they say that fourth-tier demons in this territory generally don't get involved in disputes? Why are they keeping thugs?"

A fourth-tier demon is considered a big shot in a third-tier territory, but it's a big shot who's here to retire.

Unable to survive in fourth-tier territories, and with their lifespans nearing their end, the clan granted these demons some special privileges. This led to the phenomenon of these demons moving towards lower-tier territories, a situation quite common in the demon forest.

But these kinds of demons are basically just waiting to die and won't disrupt the balance of their current territory.

So this is something Li Xiaobai doesn't understand.

Hearing Li Xiaobai say this, Gan An spoke up.

"Little White, that fourth-tier demon used to be a member of the Hanlong Guard, which is the private army of the demon king Jiao Han."

Gan An thought for a moment and then said, "Although we maintain a peaceful relationship with the human race as a whole, there are still small frictions. That guy was injured while fighting with human cultivators, and since his lifespan was running out, he was arranged to retire in the demon forest."

"He's someone with war merits."

Li Xiaobai stroked his chin: "So?"

"So he has a lot of resources, given to him by the Hanlong Guard! He can't use them all himself, so some demons want to support him in his old age and benefit from it." Gan An shrugged.

"Don't blame the old donkey, this demon is indeed not to be offended. Offending him is the same as offending the Hanlong Guard."

Li Xiaobai rubbed his face, and then... Shanji's heart skipped a beat!

That's the laugh! So hot!!

"What a bunch of bastards."

Li Xiaobai stood up again: "The merits of my demon race have actually been kidnapped by them? And they're even using the name of merits to bully us ordinary demons."

"How can we allow such a heinous incident that undermines the unity of the demon race? As the disciple of the High Priest, I, Li Xiaobai, cannot stand for it!"

The four demons: "..."

It seems...maru is spicy...

"By the way, Old Donkey, how many dogs do you have, and how strong are they?" Li Xiaobai asked the stableman excitedly.

An old man, a fourth-tier demon who received compensation! An old man, Li Xiaobai didn't believe he was that strong! Isn't this just handing me money?

As for bullying meritorious officials? The meritorious officials of the demon race beat up humans! Aren't I, Li Xiaobai, a human?

As for bullying the old man... Li Xiaobai didn't think so. He just wanted to take the old man in and take good care of him. He could open a nursing home himself and take better care of him than those bastards.

And another thing! You're a fourth-tier demon, after all. Just because you're about to die doesn't mean you can live a life of luxury every day! Take a stroll now and then, do some gardening, it's good for your health!

Seeing the sly glint in Li Xiaobai's eyes, Ma Hu's heart pounded, but he still answered, "There was that old dog who was half a step into the fourth level, named Gou Lanzi, that old bitch! She's the one who injured me."

"They're quite strong, and with that fourth-tier opponent, we can't beat them."

"Ma Chang!" Li Xiaobai waved, and the thug who had notified him earlier immediately rushed over, bowing and scraping: "Boss Snake, what are your orders?"

"Make a trip to the east, go to Wolf Village and find the wolf leader named Lang Yuezheng, and ask him to bring all the wolves under his command and the ripe rice seeds over."

Li Xiaobai handed a tuft of wolf hair to Ma Chang: "Tell those homeowners that if they encounter any problems, they can come to Kuaihuolin to seek justice at any time. Also, tell them to inform each and every household about this matter."

"I'm only giving him three days; I won't wait any longer."

"Alright! Don't worry, Boss Snake, we're known for our speed!"

After saying that, Ma Chang, clutching the wolf fur, ran away...

Gong Baiwan and his men were dumbfounded. No, were they really going to call in reinforcements to start a fight?

That's a fourth-tier rank plus a half-step fourth-tier rank, and several peak third-tier rank players!

"How many of these fourth-tier units are there on our territory?"

Ma Hu, Shan Ji, Gan An: "..."

Gan An forced a smile and said, "There are more than a dozen people who are retired, but only this one has made a great contribution."

"It's no fun to just hide away and retire."

Li Xiaobai searched the map in his mind and found a cave dwelling with a wide range of earth energy and a good location.

This place was originally the cave of a peak third-tier demon. Li Xiaobai had previously ignored him, but after the peak third-tier demon heard that Li Xiaobai could grow a large number of fourth-grade spiritual herbs…

That guy came over on his own initiative and signed the master-servant contract that Li Xiaobai left for the pheasant. He is now working in the Happy Forest and occasionally comes to use his spiritual power to nurture the rice seeds of the God of Agriculture. He is strong and ambitious.

In less than two months, he's already become a senior executive under Ma Hu! If Ma Hu hadn't been in seclusion, he might not be in such a bad situation.

"Let's leave it here, Gan An. After Old Xiong finishes his seclusion, you and he can demolish the cave and build some detached houses. This place will become a retirement home."

The four demons: "!!!!!!!"

Li Xiaobai… actually plans to devour all those fourth-tier demons?! He's only at the peak of the third tier! Where did he get the audacity?! Even if you're the High Priest's apprentice, you can't do this…

"What are you doing? Say something!" Li Xiaobai rolled his eyes.

Gan An hesitated, then said, "Doesn't that female dog like to take care of old men? How about we beat her into submission and let her manage the nursing home?"

Li Xiaobai paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Gan An's shoulder.

"Damn it!!"
