The Legend of the Demon Hunter

One year later, Tideland.

As a long and narrow country located on the coastline, most residents of Tideland make a living by fishing.

Baifan Town is located in the north of Tidal Country. Influenced by the warm current in the sea water, Baifan Fishing Port in Baifan Town is one of the three major ice-free ports in the north. This also makes Baifan Town a well-known fishing town. On weekdays, there are more than 10,000 permanent residents, and there is an endless stream of merchants traveling to and from Baifan Fishing Port.

In a place like Baifan Town, there are many dignitaries. When they travel, they ride on tall horses and are accompanied by servants. The scene is very grand. In the unknown corners of the town, there is also a group of people. Most of them are beggars, prostitutes, and prisoners who have escaped from their crimes. These people live in a dark environment all day long, wearing dirty clothes and emitting unpleasant odors, like rats in the gutter.

On this day, the fishermen returned to the port in their fully loaded fishing boats. They sorted the exquisite fish and shrimps one by one and sent them to the shore, where they were transported to various places by merchants. The dead and rotten fish and shrimps were thrown onto the shore.

After the fishermen and merchants left, it was already dark. A group of beggars came slowly over with crutches. They began to pick up the rotten fish and shrimp on the ground. This was their dinner.

Even a beggar who had been hungry for several days knew that these rotten fish and shrimps could not be eaten directly. Most of them were deeply rotten on the boat and had to be cooked with fire before they could be eaten.

Among them was a beggar whose clothes were even more tattered than those of the other beggars. His face and body were all black, and his original skin color could not be seen. His hair was very long, but it was as messy as a bird's nest, and there were straw and mud hanging on his long hair. He exuded a strong stench, which could be clearly smelled even from more than ten meters away.

The beggar picked up a rotten and smelly fish on the ground, bit open the fish's belly, swallowed the bloody internal organs into his mouth, and then started to eat it with relish.

The beggars all avoided him and no one reminded him that such fish could not be eaten.

Some people even sneered, "Idiot!"

In Baifan Town, the lower the level of people, the less likely they are to unite.

The beggar didn't care about the eyes of the people around him at all and quickly swallowed the fish. He got on all fours and crawled towards the second dead fish not far away. Just as he was about to pick up the fish, suddenly a person's foot appeared in front of him and crushed the fish.

The beggar didn't take this insulting action seriously. People like him had long forgotten what dignity was. He changed his target and was about to crawl to another fish. At this moment, a sentence rang in his ears: "I haven't seen you for a year. How did you become like this?"

The beggar ignored the other person's words and just picked up another fish on the ground. This was a fish that was not yet dead. It was probably discarded by the fisherman because he had made a mistake.

The fish, which was not yet dead, felt that it was being controlled by a human hand, and its tail struggled and swung a few times. The beggar ignored it and bit the fish's belly, biting off a large piece of flesh.

"This shouldn't be your home. I'm here to persuade you to go back." said the man.

The beggar seemed not to hear what the other party said, and continued to eat the live fish in big mouthfuls. In a short while, he had eaten half of the fish's body.

"The person who expelled you from the Red Lotus Sect is dead." The man squatted down.

Hearing this, the beggar finally stopped. He raised his head, and there was a pair of blood-red eyes on his dirty face. He looked at the man in front of him blankly.

He was wearing a black cloak. The wide cloak covered his entire body and half of his face. The other half of his face looked old and thin, with a white beard.

The beggar just stared at him blankly without saying anything.

“But that operation was not completely fruitless. She successfully killed Zhulong before she died, and we still obtained Zhulong’s crystal core.” said the old man in the cloak.

"The Shura bloodline is gone, so what good does it do to have the Zhulong Crystal Core?" The beggar finally spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.

“Who said we must have Shura blood?” The old man in the cloak was intimidating without even getting angry. He said coldly, “The Red Lotus Cult’s mission will not end, and it will be accomplished by us…”

"Huh! How can this be achieved?" The beggar didn't seem to be very interested.

When the old man in the cloak saw the beggar's attitude, he knew that he needed to produce convincing evidence, so he took off the hood of his cloak, revealing the other half of his face.

When the beggar saw the other half of the cloaked old man's face, his blood-red eyes widened, and the half-eaten fish in his hand fell to the ground with a "pop".

At this time, several beggars around also noticed the old man in the cloak, but when they saw his face clearly, they were frightened as if they had seen a ghost. They turned pale and dropped the food in their hands and ran away aimlessly.

The old man in the cloak glanced at the beggars. Fierce flames suddenly burned on the bodies of those who were fleeing. Amid the beggars' screams, all of them were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

There were only two people left on the field, the old man in the cloak and the beggar. The beggar looked at the old man in the cloak in amazement.

"Is this the power of the Candle Dragon..."

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

The old man in the cloak put on his cloak again and replied in a deep voice: "The Holy Church's Staff of Time and Blood Glaze are lost. They are in the hands of a man named Xiao Zhu. I need you to take back these two magic weapons and kill this man by the way."

"can."

The old man in the cloak nodded: "What I admire most is your character of doing things without asking for reasons. But I still need to tell you about Xiao Zhu's situation. He was born in the Novan Academy of Tide Country. He has psychic blood, and the Xiyin Sword is also in his hands... If this person is not eliminated, there will be endless troubles. You should take action now before he grows up!"

"it is good!"

"But there is no rush for this matter. Right now there is something more important for you to do."

"what's up?"

"A mirage appeared."

The beggar was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I will leave for the East China Sea immediately."

The old man in the cloak nodded and said, "I'll leave all this to you."

The beggar didn't say anything. He stood up from the ground, looked up towards the East China Sea, and the next moment he suddenly disappeared, leaving a pool of black water on the ground where he disappeared.

The old man in the cloak was silent for a moment, then he turned his gaze to the west. After looking for a while, he murmured: "Nuowan College... Yuanwu..."

After saying this, he snorted coldly and disappeared.

There was no one left on the dock of Baifan Fishing Port. Only dozens of piles of ashes were left, which disappeared without a trace after being blown away by the sea breeze.
