Chapter 1088: Sage’s Technique (1)

Editor: Henyee Translations

The elders of Huai Family, Huai Shan, Huai Ling, Huai Mang, as well as the White Cloud Temple’s Daoist Baiyun, rode their black-haired horses to the most dangerous part of the official road. From time to time, rolling stones would fall from the cliffs on both sides.

Originally, there was no road here. Later on, the Imperial Court sent experts from the military and magic lineages to forcefully carve out the mountain path. It could only accommodate a carriage, but this was a path that had to be pa.s.sed through to the Jinzhou Prefecture next to Huaishan Prefecture. With this mountain path, the originally barren Huaishan Prefecture quickly became prosperous.

For example, Huaiyang Prefecture had the water vein of the Swamp Dragon River, so there was no obstruction to traveling merchants. Huaiyang Prefecture happened to be in between. In the past, the items needed could only be transported through Huaiyang Prefecture, but now, they could be transported from Jinzhou Prefecture.

Because of this, the preservation of this official road has always been the top priority of the Huai family. Otherwise, they would not have spent so much money to invite Daoist Baiyun.

The horses came to a halt. Daoist Baiyun looked up. There were lush green trees between the cliffs on both sides, covering the surroundings like a sea of trees. No demons could be seen at all. They could only see a river flowing under the cliff. This river was only a branch of the Ze River that circled the Zejiang Mountain. The water volume was not high, and it was difficult for even a raft to move when it was drought.

He looked at the cliff again. It was smooth and steep all the way up. The peak could not be seen, but one could see clouds rising. He said leisurely, “This place is full of treasures and craftsmans.h.i.+p. It’s a rare place for cultivation. Unfortunately, the terrain is not good. There’s neither wind nor water. There will be demons after a long time. Your Huai family should ask a Daoist Perfected Lord to cast another spell and set up a large array. Only then can we live in peace.”

Mountain Lord Huai nodded repeatedly. However, his eyes met with his third brother, Huai Ling, and his fifth brother, Huai Mang, and saw the bitter smile in each other’s eyes. How could their Huai family not want to do this? However, the price of hiring a Daoist Perfected Lord was extremely expensive. Although Huai Shan was conferred the t.i.tle of Perfected Lord, it was because he received incense and power of faith. He walked the first-rate divine path and could not compare to the Daoist magic lineage at all.

Even a Daoist Perfected Lord, such as the Lord Baiyun in front of them, could look down on them. Perfected Lord Baiyun also knew that with the Huai Family’s foundation, there was no way they could invite him. He was just casually saying this. Immediately, he swung the Buddhist dust in his hand and soared into the sky. He floated in midair and carefully examined it again.

The three Huai brothers were envious. The elder beside him had seen it before, but he did not show any abnormality.

A moment later, Daoist Baiyun shook his head and said, “That evil spirit is hiding very deeply. It must have sensed my aura and doesn’t dare to show its head. We can only wait for an opportunity.”

Shen Ping, who was listening from afar, could not help but be speechless. Daoist Baiyun really lied without thinking. Previously, he had made up a story that the patriarch of the Baiyun Daoist Temple had fought with a powerful demon. Now, he said that the demons here were afraid of him and did not dare to show their faces.

What a spontaneous speech. He had already investigated just now. The location of the demons here happened to be in a Three Yin Earth Vein, so it was nourished and strengthened. Moreover, it could block detection.

However, after carefully sensing it, he discovered that the Three Yin Earth Vein was vaguely related to the Yin Demonic Energy Spring of Huaishui. Hence, he did not act rashly. Instead, he wanted to take a look.

The moon was bright and the stars were spa.r.s.e that night. Huaishan Road was an empty valley, but it was very scary at night. All kinds of animals appeared at night, and there was a cold wind. Wandering souls and ghosts wandered back and forth. They did not dare to approach, but it was not a problem to attack pa.s.sing merchants.

As long as it was a large-scale caravan, they basically had a way to deal with lonely souls and wild ghosts. Some even had talismans specially used by magic-type experts to suppress them. If it was a large caravan, they would even hire escorts from the escort agency to escort them.

They waited for three days. A traveling merchant from Jinzhou was attacked in the middle of the night. The demonic aura was very strong. The Huai Family members, who had been waiting for a long time, cooperated with Daoist Baiyun and rushed forward. Although Daoist Baiyun liked to brag, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. He used talismans and Dharma artifacts to trap him. In the end, he killed this demon in a night.

The strength of a demon was nothing. It’s mainly because it’s slippery. Now that it was trapped, even without Daoist Baiyun, the Huai family could easily deal with it with their strength.

“Haha, we’ve finally annihilated this demon.”

“It’s all thanks to Lord Baiyun this time.”

“When we get back, you must give me face and have a good meal.”

Everyone was very excited. Shen Ping, on the other hand, came to the place where the Three Yin Earth Vein gathered. He did not investigate, instead, he consumed his energy to activate the simulation.

[At eight years old, you discovered the Three Yin Earth Vein on Huaishan Road.]

[In the same year, you wiped out all the demons and ghosts nourished by the Three Yin Earth Vein and followed the Earth Vein to find a node of the Yin Demonic Spring.]

[At ten years old, you’ve cultivated to become a Perfected Lord.]

[At twenty, the Yin Demonic Energy Node erupted. The entire Huaishan Prefecture collapsed. Not a single living being survived. You died.]

He was startled. This Yin Demon Spring was too terrifying. Just the eruption of the node had directly destroyed Huaishan Prefecture. Could it be that his investigation caused the Yin Demonic Qi to erupt in advance?!

Thinking of this, he continued to simulate.

[At eight years old, you discovered…]

[At ten years old, you’ve cultivated to become a Perfected Lord.]

[At 20 years old, Huai Lian awakened the crocodile ancestor bloodline.]

[At the age of 21, Huai Lian challenged you to avenge for whipping him. He failed.]

[At the age of 25, Huai Lian challenged you for the thirtieth time. He failed again.]

[At the age of 30, the power of the crocodile ancestor descended and tried to corrode your true soul power. It failed.]
