The White Demon

“Ahem.” The old man coughed twice and said slowly, “There is a withered willow tree in front of the Dragon King Temple in the village. It was about to be chopped down for firewood, but suddenly one day people found that the withered willow tree suddenly came back to life. The originally dry branches began to gradually sprout tender green buds, as if it had been reborn.

This greatly surprised the villagers and they started talking about it.

Some people say this is an auspicious sign, indicating that the gods are protecting our village.

Therefore, whenever people encounter difficulties or pray for good luck, they will go to the Dragon King Temple to worship.

The magical thing is that after some villagers offered sacrifices, their wishes actually came true!

For example, some people pray for health, and their physical condition improves significantly;

Others hope for a successful career and get good opportunities soon after.

Such miracles kept happening, causing more and more people to be filled with awe for the Dragon King Temple, and the number of people coming to worship increased day by day.

However, just when everything seemed fine, a strange phenomenon quietly appeared in the village - zombies.

These zombies were slow in movement and had hideous faces. They attacked the villagers irrationally, causing great panic in the entire village.

I knew the dangers very well, so I specifically told my wife to stay at home and not go out, but I never expected that my wife and son would eventually meet with misfortune..."

At this point, the old man suddenly burst into tears and cried like a child. Dabai keenly caught this change, and after looking at Ye Qingwan, he asked softly: "Where is the willow tree? If it is convenient, can you tell us the exact location?"

The old man pointed ahead with a shaking finger and said in a choked voice, "It's right in the center of the village. Just walk a little further along this path, and the two immortals will know it at a glance..."

Ye Qingwan gently put her father-in-law down, and then set foot on the narrow and rugged path with Dabai. As expected, they saw the legendary strange willow tree.

At this moment, the willow tree seemed to have been reborn, and its green branches swayed in the wind, but in the eyes of Ye Qingwan and Dabai, there was a faint ominous black aura.

"There's something strange indeed!" Ye Qingwan frowned slightly, narrowed her eyes slightly, and at the same time raised her right hand, a light blue fireball instantly appeared in her hand.

"Evil beast! No matter you are a monster or a ghost, show your true form now!" There was a hint of majesty in Ye Qingwan's tone, and her eyes were firm and sharp, as if they could penetrate all illusions.

She held the fireball tightly in her hand, and the fireball emitted a dazzling light, like a burning sun, flying towards the willow tree with endless heat.

"Ah!..." A shrill howl came from the willow tree. The sound echoed in the air, making people shudder.

As the howl rang out, the entire tree seemed to be injected with vitality. Countless branches sprouted out of the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain and swept towards them at an alarming speed.

Seeing this, Dabai did not dare to delay and immediately used his magical power - the freezing technique.

However, what was unexpected was that these seemingly fragile branches only paused for a moment, and then wrapped the two people tightly like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, making them unable to move, hanging in the air like two dumplings.

"Open it for me!"

Dabai was, after all, a powerful Jindan demon, and his demon beast physique was extraordinary. He roared, his muscles tensed, and he exerted force suddenly. The branches on his body broke with a crisp sound and fell apart.

However, when Dabai broke free from the restraints, he saw Ye Qingwan was now tightly wrapped by branches, her face was pale, her breathing was rapid, and she was obviously in an extremely dangerous situation.

He was shocked and rushed forward to rescue Ye Qingwan.

At this moment, Ye Qingwan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff" sound. The blood splattered on the branches, and a miracle happened.

The entire willow tree seemed to have been drained of its vitality and was withering rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The originally lush green leaves turned yellow and dry in the blink of an eye, and the trunk also shriveled up, until only a dry stump was left, standing alone in the place.

It turns out that her blood really has an inhibitory effect on evil spirits!

It seems that the evil in the water may be more powerful and more difficult to deal with than imagined.

We must deal with it with caution!

Ye Qingwan looked at the changes that had taken place in the willow tree that was infected by the evil spirit, and she felt more and more that the evil spirit under the water might not be so easy to resolve.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar voice ringing in her ears: "Master, that's great! We finally caught up!"

She turned her head suddenly and saw the old ancestor leading a group of his direct disciples and many monks of Wanxiang Sect, rushing to her and the other person like a whirlwind.

Each of their faces was filled with anxiety and concern, and it was obvious that they had come all the way here.

"Junior sister, don't be afraid, we are here to help you!" the eldest brother shouted loudly.
