We said we would experience life, fairy, how did you become real?

Guo Xiudan made this judgment.

He just couldn't understand what this Qi official meant.

Why did they suddenly target our group?

Xiao Mo bowed to them and said, "That snake who travels the river is an important person to me. I wonder if you gentlemen could be so kind as to help him?"

A cultivator named Chen Ji smiled and said, "Old sir, as a high-ranking official of the Qi Kingdom, it is against the rules of your Qi Kingdom to plead for a snake clansman."

Another cultivator said, "When it causes floods, won't the people of Qi suffer terribly? We are helping your Qi."

“She is a kind-hearted person and will surely control herself when she travels across the river. Moreover, there are various water conservancy facilities along her route, which are sufficient to cope with the situation. Furthermore, I have already notified all counties and prefectures to make preparations in advance.”

Xiao Mo explained patiently.

"Therefore, there is no need for you all to take action this time."

Guo Xiudan frowned and decided not to be polite with the old man anymore:

"Old sir, you know that we rogue cultivators are different from those cultivators of major sects. Everything we have is earned with our lives. This python crossing the river is a great opportunity for us. How can we let it go?"

We're afraid we can't agree to your request, sir. Please make way for us.

"I'm afraid I won't give in." Xiao Mo shook his head.

Guo Xiudan frowned: "Does the old man think he can stop us?"

Xiao Mo sighed softly, "Let's give it a try."

The moment Xiao Mo finished speaking, Guo Xiudan drew her longbow, and golden arrow feathers gathered on the bowstring.

Guo Xiudan loosened her grip, the bowstring twanged, and a cold light shot straight for Xiao Mo's heart!

The entire movement was incredibly fast, taking less than half a breath.

However, just as the arrow tip was only an inch away from Xiao Mo's chest, it suddenly froze, as if it had hit an invisible barrier and stopped in mid-air.

With a flick of his sleeve, Xiao Mo swept the arrow away like a flickering candle in the wind, instantly turning it into specks of spiritual energy that vanished without a trace.

"Please leave, everyone," Xiao Mo said slowly.

"Mere mortals!" Guo Xiudan completely revealed her contempt for mortals.

So what if the other party has the blessing of mountains and rivers?

In the end, he was just an ordinary mortal whose lifespan was no more than a hundred years!

Guo Xiudan drew her bow again, and layers of light suddenly bloomed in the void behind her!

Countless golden arrows emerged from the halo, poised to strike.

The moment the bowstring twanged, hundreds of dazzling golden rays tore through the air and rained down on Xiao Mo like a meteor shower.

At the same time, the surrounding rogue cultivators also suddenly launched an attack.

In an instant, raging flames, icy blades, poisonous miasma, and sinister lightning erupted...

Various colored lights, carrying an aura of destruction, rained down from the sky.

There was no probing, no room for maneuver.

This is how it is when rogue cultivators make their moves.

Even if you despise the other person, you still use all your strength, like a lion hunting a rabbit.

Why bother?

Xiao Mo sighed softly and stepped forward.

In an instant, the dark aura of mountains and rivers emanated from the soles of his shoes, spreading like ripples, and then, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, it converged wildly!

In the blink of an eye, a dark dragon formed from the pure essence of mountains and rivers coiled around its body, its scales and claws sharp and lifelike.

As soon as the black dragon took shape, it raised its head and glared angrily at the oncoming crowd, letting out a sky-shaking dragon roar!

After half a cup of tea.

Of the more than twenty independent cultivators, only Guo Xiudan remained.

He was severely injured all over his body, and his tattered clothes were covered in blood.

At this moment, Guo Xiudan was pierced through the chest by the claw of the dark dragon and was suspended in the air.

"How can it be"

Guo Xiudan lowered her head, looking at her pierced chest, her eyes filled with disbelief.

He never expected that this old man would have such a strong aura of fortune, and even be blessed by the incense offerings of the human race.

But it was too late for him to regret it.

Xiao Mo reached out and touched his forehead.

A Nascent Soul cultivator instantly exploded into a blood mist.

"cough cough"

After dealing with the twenty rogue cultivators, Xiao Mo coughed a few times, a few drops of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his face looked even older.

The spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers that he had just used to cast the spell has returned to the heavens and earth and cannot be replenished in a short time.

That's how officialdom works.

Officials can exhaust the accumulated fortune of the land and its people within a single day.

However, a full recovery can take months or even years.

"The remaining fortune of the land should be enough, right?"

Xiao Mo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and took a deep breath.

"Boom!"

"Clatter!"

The thunder intensified, and the rain grew heavier, as if it were pouring down.

Xiao Mo looked in the direction of Gan Yuebo.

Ru Xue has already swum out of Gan Yue Bo and is now going downstream along a stream towards Siming Lake.

When Bai Ruxue left Gan Yuebo, she felt as if she had grown thicker and longer, and even her spiritual power had become more abundant. She also felt that the scales on her body were undergoing a transformation.

But Bai Ruxue didn't care about any of that.

She just wanted to swim forward with all her might, quickly reach the North Sea, and transcend the tribulation to obtain the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

As long as he gets the Dragon Thunder Liquid, Xiao Mo will not leave him.

When Bai Ruxue swam to the latter half of the stream, she saw an arched bridge.

Beneath the arched bridge hangs a bronze-colored longsword.

Bai Ruxue focused her mind.

Xiao Mo said this is the Dragon Slayer Sword!

As Bai Ruxue drew closer, the Dragon-Slaying Sword trembled more violently, as if it were about to break free of its ropes and stab towards Bai Ruxue at any moment.

Bai Ruxue felt the blood of her kin in this Dragon-Slaying Sword.

It was as if the remnants of his own kind were constantly warning him not to get close.

That innate sense of restraint made Bai Ruxue want to back down, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

In the past, this woman, who was even afraid of thunder, might have backed down.

But in her mind, the image of a man appeared.

"Xiao Mo."

Bai Ruxue steadied herself and rushed towards the arched bridge.

"Zheng!"

As if awakened, the Dragon-Slaying Sword broke free of the ropes and slashed at the white python.

Chapter 74 Why not?

Changqingshan, Chengping County.

At the mountaintop, an old man opened his eyes.

In the mortal dynasties, some officials possessed innate talent and were capable of cultivating themselves.

These officials who were capable of cultivating themselves, if they had done many good deeds during their lives and were admired by the people, and if the people built temples to worship them after their deaths, could be appointed by the emperor as gods of mountains, rivers and streams.

Unless the dynasty collapses and the land changes hands, these mountain and river gods can exist forever.

Of course, under normal circumstances, most officials would not make this choice.

Because no matter what, reincarnation symbolizes new hope. If you reincarnate several times, you might one day ascend to the Great Way.

But if you become the god of mountains, rivers, and lakes, then you are bound to the dynasty.

Moreover, after the dynasty collapses, you will perish, with no possibility of reincarnation.

Looking at the world as a whole, no sect can last forever, let alone the ever-changing dynasties of the mortal realm.

However, some officials are willing to become gods of mountains, rivers, and lakes.

Who can say for sure what will happen to you in your future life?

Who knows, he might perish in his second life.

Moreover, some officials are truly devoted to the people and cannot let go of their concerns.

This old man named Wei Yuan was the mountain god of Changqing Mountain in the State of Qi.

Wei Yuan looked at a stream not far away.

In the stream, a giant white python is charging toward the Dragon-Slaying Sword hanging under the arched bridge.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword flew out and slashed at the body of the white giant python.

"hiss!"

The white giant python's body was slashed several times by the longsword, leaving several bloody marks.

"Zheng!"

As if enraged, the Dragon-Slaying Sword thrust towards the giant python's brow.

However, with a flick of her long tail, she knocked the dragon-slaying sword away, which then stuck into a rock on the shore.

Seizing the opportunity, Bai Ruxue quickly crossed the arched bridge and swam towards Siming Lake.

"This giant boa constrictor has quite a bit of talent."

Wei Yuan stroked his beard and nodded.

But this is only the first hurdle.

There is more than just this one Dragon Slayer Sword.

Bai Ruxue swam across the arched bridge and glanced back; the Dragon-Slaying Sword had indeed not followed.

Xiao Mo is right. Just keep swimming forward, passing each level one by one.

After swimming across Sixian Creek, Bai Ruxue successfully entered Siming Lake.

As Bai Ruxue immersed herself in the waters of Siming Lake, she felt the scales on her body gradually heating up, and the blood in her body churning.

Moreover, my body seems to be gradually getting bigger, and it feels like something is growing out of four places on my abdomen.

Bai Ruxue recalled the lesson Xiao Mo had given her and realized that she was regressing to her ancestral nature.

At each stage, one's body will evolve into a part of a dragon.

Once you enter the sea, you will transform into a dragon, also known as a hidden dragon. At this point, you only need to undergo the Nine Dragons Profound Thunder Tribulation to obtain the Dragon Thunder Liquid.

Taking a deep breath of water, Bai Ruxue crossed Siming Lake and swam into the Chunsong River.

"Why is this snake in such a hurry to undergo its tribulation?" Wei Yuan asked in surprise.

He had encountered snake-clan members undergoing tribulation before.
