Chapter 663 Why the Relentless Press? (Part 2)

Shang Shui had seen a similar sword aura before. It was in the capital of Anguo, outside the palace of the Great Sage Dingguang. There was a gap of nearly a hundred feet wide that opened directly between heaven and earth. The sword aura seemed to reach straight into the underworld. Walking next to that mark, one could faintly hear the wailing of ghosts and howling of gods.

The remaining sword intent on this iron weapon may soon dissipate, but the sword energy that seemed to come from the deepest hell was truly rare.

Whether it's a case of different approaches yielding similar results, or a continuation of tradition, it's truly intriguing.

"Are you sure this was caused by that cultivator's sword energy?"

Sheep Demon Shang Shui held the piece of iron in his hand and put it into his sleeve to hide it.

"I saw it with my own eyes. If the Governor doesn't believe me, he can ask Iron Pipa..."

Humph.

The sheep demon glanced disdainfully at the scorpion demon who was kneeling on one knee to the side, not daring to utter a word.

What's the point of asking about something like this?

"Is that cultivator powerful?"

"His supernatural abilities are extremely remarkable. He was able to predict the pipa's scorpion-tail flying needles in advance and was not afraid of my methods of attacking the soul. As for the power of his sword energy, the governor has already witnessed it."

The sheep demon nodded.

"Cultivation level of the Core Formation stage?"

"I don't know, but it should be a elixir of immortality."

When did such a figure emerge in the 72 countries?

"What's your background...?"

"It looks somewhat like the methods of a ghost cultivator. That kid absorbed blood energy to evolve into a ghost god, which is quite remarkable."

The goat demon stroked the beard on his chest.

It is indeed suspicious, but if you insist on saying that this cultivator has some connection with the ghost cultivator who attacked Anguo before...

There doesn't seem to be any direct evidence.

However, the monsters don't need to talk about the rule of law principle of presumption of innocence.

True character is to kill the innocent and never let the guilty go free.

"Send a message to Qingfu: we're going to find that group of cultivators. First it was the Qingxu Sect, and now this thing has appeared."

The sheep demon couldn't help but overthink things.

If it's the ghosts of Xiaoqingshan combined with those Taoists from the Qingxu Sect...

It's quite possible that the Qingxu Sect was too busy to help, so they called on the ghosts of Xiaoqingshan for assistance.

Doesn't that make perfect sense?
The Qingxu Sect was too busy to deal with the monsters of Anguo, so they brought in the ghosts of Xiaoqingshan.

You can't write two "青" characters in one stroke.

Then, on his way home, he encountered troublesome cultivators from the Qingxu Sect. He could have easily taken them down, but then people from Xiaoqingshan came to his aid.

Since he is a ghost cultivator, he must have come down from Little Green Mountain.

Completely clear, there can be no mistakes.

"Once Qingfu has figured out the enemy's location, we'll head straight there and see what kind of person this kid is."

Shangshui would naturally not want to exterminate Lijiao.

Although the Black Wind Great Sage's clan was lost, the Illusionary Heaven Great Sage was also behind Li Jiao.

As long as the ins and outs of this matter can be figured out, Shangshui believes it has done nothing wrong.

Even if the Black Wind Great Sage wanted revenge, he should have gone after the monkey in front of him.

Good.

The sheep demon grunted and waved his hand downwards, signaling both demons to retreat.

Accompanied by the mournful sound of horns, the demon army changed direction and, guided by a mysterious force, slowly moved toward Wushi City.

The city of Wushi was now completely quiet.

The merchants and residents of the city had basically made up their minds and begun to relocate to Flying Crow City. Yao Qin, who had gone to Flying Crow City, had also returned, accompanied by a Core Formation cultivator with a beard.

Along with Zhao Qian, who was originally in charge of the area, the three of them stood together on the city wall, looking westward, resembling three statues of men waiting for their husbands.

"After listening to your descriptions, I admire this Master Zuo even more."

The bearded man, whose name was Huan Dan, was a retainer under Zhao Tianlin, the city lord of Feiya City. He was responsible for Feiya City's interactions with various surrounding forces and had met the two men in front of him more than once.

Fang Huan never paid any attention to Wushi City to the north.

This city perfectly embodies the general truth that "a small temple has a lot of evil spirits, and a shallow pond has many turtles."

The land, which was originally devoid of any real power, was now occupied by four opposing forces, each unwilling to accept defeat and each believing themselves to be quite capable.

Later, the ghosts of Xiaoqingshan took action and swallowed up Wushi City, which relieved Fang Huan of a worry.

He really doesn't like going to this place.

It took a lot of effort.

The current situation is somewhat difficult for Fang Huan to predict.

Although Wushi City is now the most powerful city, it's still unclear what the attitude of the ghosts on Xiaoqingshan Mountain behind it is.

After all, Fang Huan was more well-informed and had heard that the Chaotic Soul Sect seemed to have some kind of relationship with someone in Little Green Mountain.

Now that the monsters of Anguo have been killed, there's no need to worry anymore. The most important thing is to move and run away as soon as possible.

The three demon kings of Anguo.

The Great Sage Who Fixes Light, the Great Sage Who Divides Water, and the Great Sage Who Crows at Dawn—don't be fooled by their true forms being nothing more than pigs, sheep, and chickens—three things that end up on the dinner table. They have all genuinely cultivated immortal demon bodies.

If any of them really makes a move, those ghosts on Little Green Mountain won't be able to withstand it.

Even the most vengeful spirits cannot attain sainthood.

How many ghost cultivators in this world have attained immortality?
Not to mention that there are other powerful demons below them who have mastered the Void Step technique.

Little Green Mountain could easily devour Wushi City; compared to the monsters of Anguo, they were no match for them.

Fang Huan came to Wushi City on the orders of the city lord Zhao Tianlin to see if any of the merchants and people in Wushi City were willing to move to Feiya City and provide them with assistance.

In this land of seventy-two kingdoms, no one would complain about having too many people under their jurisdiction.

As a result, he ran into Yao Qin, whom Su Che had sent out, on the way. Once they made contact, things became much easier.

After the handover, Fang Huan immediately arranged for the people of Flying Crow City to start building rest stops along the way.

They were just waiting for the people of Wushi City to set off one after another before they could discuss terms with this Master Zuo.

Although cultivators from the seventy-two countries of the Central Plains are rare, they are not entirely absent. Fang Huan believes he can still offer a suitable price to bring the entire Tiger Roar Hall under the banner of Flying Crow City.

Fang Huan couldn't help but chuckle at this thought. Zhao Qian and Yao Qin were clearly terrified by Zuo Lengchan, but he wouldn't be. The magnanimity of City Lord Zhao was far beyond what these rogue cultivators could match.

Just then, a flash of light appeared ahead. Fang Huan looked closely and saw a group of cultivators descending from the sky and landing on the city wall.

Leading the group was a young cultivator dressed in black, quite handsome, but his cold and ruthless eyes made Fang Huan swallow hard.

"Oh my, isn't this Fellow Daoist Fang?"

Lei Xun bowed to Fang Huan: "Why did City Lord Zhao release you?"

This guy is really good at the art of welcoming and seeing off people; he went straight over and started trying to get information out of them.

Fang Huan ignored him, but instead bowed respectfully to Su Che.

"Master Zuo is so righteous. The city lord specifically instructed me to thank you for the sake of all the people in this city. Master Zuo does not limit himself to any particular sect, but has saved the lives of the entire city."

Upon meeting, Fang Huan immediately showered him with compliments.

"Ok?"

Su Che simply responded with a sound of agreement.

"Below is the guest master of City Lord Zhao. He has come here on the orders of City Lord Zhao Tianlin."
