273 Giant Venomous Snake (1/2)
Canger Mountain.
It was a huge mountain within the Golden Lake Prefecture, and there were many dangers lurking within.
However, at the centre of the mountain, there was a scene of serenity.
Spiritual water flowed everywhere and flowers were blooming. A group of monkey demons were playing around and as they ran into the forest, they were catching fleas from each other.
In the middle, there was a black peak. It was barren and extended straight up towards the sky. There was a circle of dark clouds surrounding the peak, which struck fear in those who set eyes on the peak.
As a golden streak of light flew into the mountain, there was an exclamation from the peak of the mountain. ”What audacity, python demon! How dare you kill my grandson! I will peel your skin alive to let out my hatred for you!”
On the peak, within a cave, the monkey god's golden eyes were flaming. The other female monkeys in the cave could not avoid as they scrambled. ”How dare you! How dare you! I'll kill you!”
As he stood up, the entire mountain shook.
”Monkey King, wait up!”
Another streak of light entered the cave, which then transfigured into a tortoise guard. ”My god invites you to gather at the Golden Court Lake for a discussion about the demons!”
”The dragon god invited me?”
The monkey god froze and composed himself. 'I must be in my physical body to meet the dragon god. Otherwise, it would be extremely disrespectful! Indeed, a small monkey is nothing compared to the demons. However... I cannot contain my anger!'
As he struck his fist out, there was a golden glow and a secret path revealed itself within the cave. A golden-haired monkey walked out with a serious look.
”Although the python is powerful, I believe my incarnation will be able to kill it!”
The monkey god smashed towards his forehead. Immediately, a black fog appeared which entered the golden-haired monkey's body.
The golden-haired monkey became ferocious in an instant as it walked towards the opening of the cave.
”Tortoise guard, I'm sorry for the wait. Let's meet the Dragon God now!”
As the monkey god turned around, he cheerfully exclaimed.
”That's good!”
...
At the same time, within the government's office.
Due to the fact that his physical body was extremely obvious, Fang Yuan could only send his Yin Spirit to look for Xu Ren.
Otherwise, he would have destroyed the entire office if he were to come in person.
After attaining the 5th Transformation, this magical energy increased exponentially and the Yin Spirit which he formed would be able to walk under normal daylight, had flesh and was no different from a normal human.
”Greetings, god!”
In the small study, there was only Xu Ren and Li Luan.
Li Luan looked at Fang Yuan with an expression of shock. It was only a matter of days, but Fang Yuan's spiritual aura had strengthened by folds. To her, Fang Yuan was becoming increasingly mysterious and her sense of insecurity intensified.
”There was a powerful demon which intruded out district, but I have killed it!”
Fang Yuan ignored Li Luan's thoughts and spoke his mind.
”What? A powerful demon?”
Xu Ren shuddered. Although he had cultivated for many years, he still turned pale.
”Mmm. Our district has been actively clearing the evil gods and our movements are too obvious. This is only normal... After all, I've killed it... We can just take our leave anytime, but what can you do, district leader?”
Fang Yuan was determined but as he spoke, he remained expressionless.
”Since this is the case, I shall face whatever that comes!”
Xu Ren gritted his teeth and bowed towards both Li Luan and Fang Yuan. ”Please take good care of my wife and my child if anything happens to me!”
”Things have not escalated to such a stage yet!”
Fang Yuan shook his head. ”Do you know why the popular righteous gods like Goddess Xiang Fei and Golden Dragon General are alright with our doings?”
These were righteous gods. Although they were once demons, they had already lost the evil side in them and would no longer request for live sacrifices.
”Rumble!”
As soon as he spoke, dark clouds formed above and thunder roared.
”This is because the demons have split! Those clever ones would choose to be righteous gods! However, the majority of them would be tempted by the offerings from humans and had already taken the offerings for. This is especially so for those demons which only exist in spirit form. They cannot resist anything!”
Fang Yuan rattled out the trend of the realm without much consideration.
”Kacha!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, a streak of lightning struck across and Li Luan became pale. She fell to the ground as though she could not take it any longer.
'Indeed enraged, but useless!'
Fang Yuan smiled to himself as his spirit remained resolute and unafraid.
After all, he was in the government office, a creation of the people Dao. He was also standing next to Xu Ren, who was an official and therefore would have the protection from him. Additionally, there was another important factor in the government office: Xu Ting!
Lightning could never strike here!
”The demons have split? Some of the demons are helping the humans?”
After hearing this, Xu Ren shuddered. ”What do you mean?”
”You can directly request from the prefecture to get the authority to clear all the evil gods before obtaining approval to officially help the righteous gods....”
Fang Yuan smiled.
This was forcing the demons to take a side! Those who would support the humans would be protected given assistance to deal with the evil demons!
'Let me be the one to cause the chaos in this world!'
A thought appeared in his mind.
No risks, no rewards!
To gain the most out of this realm, he had to take risks!
”I understand now... No wonder the both of you are willing to help me! It seems that you two are the brave ones among the demons!”
There was a glitter in Xu Ren's eyes as his face became flushed with excitement. ”Could there really be an uprising among the humans?”
