291 Return (2/2)
The white-bearded old daoist smiled. ”The uprising of the people dao is the trend. We daoists should follow the heaven's intention. Everyone in the Xu Family would be heavily involved in the upcoming tribulation. We must pay close attention!”
”This of course!”
The child behind chuckled. ”Our people have been instructed to establish good relations with him. Otherwise, as an official from a foreign land, without us secretly helping him to influence the Imperial Court, do you think he will be able to have such progress? Not to mention how smooth it was for his family to settle down?”
”It's a pity.... The Xu Family is close to many demons...”
The child at the side sighed. ”Who knew how the demons started?”
”From the Killer Tribulation, the fates of everyone would be messed up. This is only normal!”
The old daoist's beard drifted with the wind, but his tone was chilly. ”These demons want to support the Dragon Court and take our share of fate energy and karma! By killing Clear Wind, they have displayed their persistence! We shall allow that carp demon to live for another day. Hehe, when the time is right, we shall kill the demons in front of Xu Ren to display our might!”
The 3 of them spoke as they walked. Although there were passers-by, they did not leak any information. Soon, they arrived on the outskirts of the city.
”Grandmaster, are we here to kill the giant demon?”
A child asked. Seeing that there was no one around, he toyed around with a hint of sword essence in his hands.
The sword essence was a pure white and as extremely concentrated. However, in his hands, the sword essence became liquid-like and flowed around. The child's cultivation in swordplay was shocking!
Since he looked young, he had to be a reincarnation and was a powerful person in his past life.
”That's right, it's that giant demon!”
At the outskirts, the old daoist no longer tried to conceal himself. As energy surged around him, his robes flew with the wind. It was a majestic sight to behold; he was like a deity.
Behind him, the two children transformed into swordlight and combined. ”Have we located the Giant Venomous Snake?”
”Yes!”
The white-bearded daoist was infuriated. ”We had detected something the moment Venerable Clear Wind died. However, the killer was too cruel and did not even leave his spirit behind. Without and leads and after a few years, I have received a prediction from an elder fortune teller. Finally, I know that this is the doing of the two demons from Black Lake District!”
”That carp demon has the protection of the fate energy from Xu Ren, so let's forget about her for the moment. The Giant Venomous Snake is the culprit behind all and lives in seclusion. Therefore, we must kill it to appease our brother. Otherwise, everyone would think that Xuan Zhen Sect is weak!”
”Although this demon has weak karma, it is extremely cunning and would not leave traces behind. We have tracked it a few times but in the past few times, it has escaped successfully... Not this time!”
”Rumble!”
As the 3 of them spoke, they had entered a forest.
The skies changed and fish-scaled clouds appeared. The dark clouds brought with them an atmosphere of danger.
”Is this... Heavenly Tribulation?!”
The daoist was extremely familiar with such a vibe. The clouds were different from the usual dark clouds and therefore, he could immediately identify it.
”Haha... That's right! This is a Heavenly Tribulation!”
The old daoist laughed heartily. ”That Giant Venomous Snake is extremely powerful and has a few tricks up its sleeves. It will be hard to deal with it. However, I have asked the fortune teller to calculate the ripe time to strike. This is the tribulation period of the demon, and therefore, it will not be able to escape us!”
There was a murderous look on his face. ”With such a weak fate energy, do you think you can transform into a dragon? Hehe... We are involved in this demon's people tribulation! Striking together with the Heavenly Tribulation, it has no way of escaping!”
With the dark clouds, lightning and thunder, it was the best compass to guide them to the Giant Venomous Snake.
The 3 daoists made their way and soon after, they had arrived at the foot of a mountain.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a source of spring water. The spring water was chilly and gave off cold vibes.
Streaks of lightning began to rip across the skies, forming a net of lightning.
”Haha... This demon's Heavenly Tribulation is indeed powerful! We might not need to strike, and it will be dead!”
Seeing this, the old daoist was overjoyed. However, he became confused. ”This doesn't seem right... By helping Xu Ren and clearing the evil gods, it has accumulated good deeds. How can it have such a weak fate energy? How can its Heavenly Tribulation be so intense?”
”This must be because it had gone against the Xuan Zhen Sect! By doing so, it had put itself against the people dao!”
A child laughed. ”Regardless, this is good news to us!”
”That's right!”
The old daoist stroked his beard. The 3 of them were daoists and were afraid of approaching the tribulation. Therefore, they looked at everything from afar.
”Kacha!”
”Whoosh!”
Water splashed everywhere and a huge black silhouette appeared.
It had a snake's head ad 4 legs. The scales on its body were black but had a hint of golden glow. As it looked up into the sky, it roared like a ferocious beast.
”What a Giant Venomous Snake!”
The 3 daoists turned shocked. ”With such power, no wonder it can attempt to transform into a dragon!”
