Chapter 770: It’s A Small World (2)

This was because the vitality energy that filled this world could awaken intelligence and nurture spirits.

Thinking of this, Shen Ping did not stay in the cliff cave. He went down Yunjiang and turned to the Yunze River. He planned to go to Shuzhou. Among the provinces in the world, the mountains of Shuzhou were rugged and filled with stars. It was the place where demons and spiritual monsters gathered the most. Although the Imperial Court had sent soldiers to suppress and eliminate them time and time again, they only treated the symptoms but not the root cause. After all, as long as they could not eliminate the vitality and kill all animals and wild beasts, it would be difficult to eliminate the demons.

Therefore, as time passed, the Imperial Court stopped sending troops. Instead, they sent the River God and the Dragon God to oversee the suppression. Therefore, there were many River Gods and the Dragon Gods in Shuzhou.

“The difficulty of the Shu Road is not as difficult as ascending to the sky.”

As soon as he left the Yunze River, the road became winding. Some places were even narrower. When he reached the depths, the cliffs on both sides were even steeper. If he was not careful, he would fall.

Shen Ping followed a caravan and slowly walked to the warehouse road in Sichuan. From time to time, the cries of apes and tigers could be heard from the distant mountains, making people tremble in fear. Fortunately, every caravan had hired Daoists to protect them, so everyone did not lose their courage.

“It’s already dark. Let’s rest here. We should be able to reach the courier station at noon tomorrow. When we get there, I’ll treat everyone to a few drinks.” The leader of the caravan said.

The subordinates echoed, and smiles were plastered on their faces. Walking on the Shu Road was indeed a test. Even though they had been through the storm for a long time, they were mostly exhausted. When they heard that there was wine to drink, they naturally felt anticipation.

After a while, a few bonfires lit up. The suppliers were chatting and laughing, and there were accompanying singers dancing with the fire.

“Daoist priest, I’ll rely on you tonight. If any demons or ghosts approach us, I hope you can resolve them in time and protect us.” The leader of the caravan bowed.

Shen Ping waved his hand. “This is my responsibility. Don’t worry. Along the way, have I let any demons get close?”

Only then did the leader of the caravan relax and admire the dancer’s fair and alluring belly, waist, and buttocks. The other people also pointed boldly, looking like they wanted to pounce on her and dote on her.

Shen Ping opened the Great Yin Talisman Scripture and continued to read. During this period of time, he had relied on the books and cultivation techniques he had read in the Changling Temple to improve the Dao Wheel Formula. He could already absorb the vitality of the five elements. As long as there were demons, he could rely on his talent to devour and quickly increase the cultivation of the five elements.

“If I can kill a Dragon God, I think I can absorb a large amount of the vitality of the five elements!”

The Dragon God belonged to the Flood Dragon, and most of them had water- elemental Dao bones. Naturally, they cultivated the Five Elemental Laws. However, killing the Dragon God would alarm the Imperial Court, and it would also violate the Heavenly Dao. After all, such a divine position was conferred by the Imperial Court.

He only thought about it occasionally. Of course, if he really encountered an evil flood dragon, he might have to take out his sword and kill it.

Late at night, the suppliers and dancers all fell asleep. Only Shen Ping sat cross-legged and added some dry materials from time to time to maintain the bonfire.

Suddenly, a faint voice sounded in his ear. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of magic power condensed into an energy sword and killed the python hundreds of feet away. This python already had some demonic aura, but it had yet to condense ten years of cultivation.

With Shen Ping holding down the fort, The night was as peaceful as usual. The next morning, thin fog rose from the mountains of Shu Road and lingered halfway up the mountain. From afar, it looked like an immortal. After breakfast, everyone felt energetic and hurried on their way. Some of them carried goods and sang mountain songs that echoed in the mountains.

At noon, the sunlight finally surpassed the peak and shone on the caravan. The scenery in the distance was even clearer. However, the mountain road of Shudao became more and more muddy and difficult to walk on. They had to be extremely alert and carefully step on the road.

The accompanying dancer twisted her waist and accidentally slid down, causing exclamations. At the critical moment, Shen Ping flicked his sleeve and pulled her up.

“Thank you, Daoist Priest. Thank you, Daoist Priest.” The dancer patted her chest in shock.

Shen Ping said casually, “Walk in front of me. Be careful.”

“Yes, Daoist.”

In the evening, everyone arrived at the courier station, but the entire courier station was silent. After shouting a few times, a courier from the courier station walked out and glanced at Shen Ping and the others. He said impatiently, “Go to the house and wait.”

The leader of the caravan led everyone into the house with a smile. After a while, the courier walked in and asked what he wanted to eat and drink. The leader of the caravan reported a few things and took out silver taels to hand over. Only then did the courier’s expression become a little enthusiastic.

As the wine was served, the others were gluttonously watching.

“Ha, drink to your heart’s content. There’s enough.”

“Sure.”

The group drank until night time. The courier was about to close the door when a few Daoist priests walked over. The leader took out a Daoist token. The courier was shocked and hurriedly bowed. “Greetings, Perfected Person.”

The leader asked, “Is there another room?”

Yes, yes. They’re still in the upper room.”

“Clean up. We’re moving in tonight.”

“Yes, Perfected One.”

Shen Ping, who was sitting cross-legged in the lower room, suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of surprise appeared in his pupils. He did not expect there to be a familiar aura among these Daoists.

The five Daoists first sat in the hall. When they saw the drunk people beside them, they immediately revealed looks of disgust. When the leader of the caravan saw these Daoists, he hurriedly called for his subordinates to leave.

‘Senior Sister, why did the Ancestral Master bring us to Shuzhou this time?”

The female Daoist in the lead had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. She sat upright on the bench and said calmly, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask. The Ancestral Master must have a reason for bringing us here. What we have to do is to listen to his instructions.”

Another young Daoist with more than 300 years of cultivation could not help but say, “But Senior Sister, the temple needs us now, but they came to Shuzhou without a clear purpose. I really can’t figure out why.”

A familiar voice sounded, “The ancestor should be asking us to train well in Shuzhou. I heard that recently, the demon flood dragon from Yunjiang has fled to Shuzhou and continues to cause trouble. If we can kill it, it can be considered a contribution to the people of Shuzhou.”

The young Daoist frowned. “Many Daoist sects in Shuzhou prioritize Emei. Why would our Ling Yin Temple need to manage them? I think there must be other secrets.”

Another Daoist said, “Our Ling Yin Temple is on good terms with Emei to begin with. This time, the Ancestral Master brought the five of us here perhaps to cultivate and interact with Emei.”

Just as the Eldest Senior Sister was about to speak, she suddenly turned her eyes to the right. “There’s demonic energy. Get ready. The demonic energy is cold as frost. Its cultivation is not shallow.”

The other four Daoists took out their Daoist Swords and looked around warily. In just a few breaths, the demonic aura had already enveloped the entire relay station. The leader of the caravan, his subordinates and the dancer, instantly fainted on the ground.

“Who are you? Show yourself quickly!”

A shout exploded. The sword qi shot into the sky, its sharp edge unstoppable. A few miserable cries immediately sounded from the demonic qi that was as dense as fog. Soon after, slender tentacles stretched out at lightning speed and attacked the other four Daoists.

However, they reacted very quickly. One by one, they held jade swords and quickly cut off the tentacles. Among them, Yin Shu, who was on the right, made hand seals. Spells rushed out and landed at every corner of the relay station at an extremely fast speed.

Boom.

A simple spell formation was formed. Soon, the demonic qi was blown away. A squirming demon beast with a ferocious head spat out a large number of tentacles and attacked Yin Shu and the others again. The ground collapsed, and dozens of pangolin demons the size of calves jumped out and attacked them.

“Hmph. You monsters are really courting death!” The eldest senior sister snorted coldly and leaped out with a light tap of her toes. The Daoist Sword in her hand spun and turned into hundreds of swords, killing in all directions at high speed.

The sword was activated, and a spirit appeared. Hundreds of swords were as dazzling as a peacock spreading its tail. In the middle, a huge spell was vaguely condensed.
