A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

The demons had decided to demolish Fuqing Palace.

The bison demon felt he had an advantage in this matter and wanted to show off, so he patted his chest and said, "Everyone step back, I'll go first!"

Upon hearing this, the demons realized that the wild ox demon was right.

So everyone made way for them.

The bison demon rolled on the ground, revealing its true form. The bison in its true form was enormous, more than four or five times larger than an ordinary bison, and looked to weigh tens of thousands of pounds.

"Men, make way, I'm coming!"

The bison demon mustered all its strength and charged towards the main pillar of the main hall.

All the fairies cheered. With such force and such a massive body, the collapse of the main hall was to be expected.

It seemed they could all hear the crashing sound of the building collapsing.

"Oh!"

The sound was very loud, like a real collision.

However, the main hall did not collapse, nor did it even shake.

The main hall didn't shake, but the bison demon did.

The bison demon felt as if it had run headfirst into a steel plate.

The bull's head was struck as if by a heavy blow. With a thud, it bounced back and fell to the ground, its limbs straight and trembling.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

The white deer spirit cried out repeatedly, startled, and involuntarily took several steps back. It was timid, afraid of being stuck, and kept retreating.

The black tiger spirit was astonished!

That shouldn't be the case. Given the wild bull demon's momentum, even I couldn't withstand it head-on; I would have to dodge it. Besides, this pillar isn't exactly sturdy.

Then the hawk spirit shouted, "Don't move, let me examine it."

It rushed to the pillar, transformed into a bird's head, and fiercely pecked at the solid wood pillar with its beak.

"Dah!"

Just one sound.

It pecked into the wood of the pillar with its beak, and it pecked in very easily. The bison demon that wasn't dead was knocked unconscious by just this one pillar?

None of the demons cared whether the wild bull demon had fainted or died.

Anyway, the bison demon's limbs were stiff and straight, but they stopped trembling.

"It's very easy!"

Just as the hawk spirit was about to pull its beak out and turn around to say something to the fairies, it suddenly jerked, and its head felt like it had been violently pulled.

"bang"

Another muffled sound.

This time the noise was much quieter than that of the bison demon.

But this was the sound of the hawk spirit's beak being pulled out, its head being pulled back, and then hitting the pillar.

I feel a little dizzy, but not that dizzy, because the force was much less.

It's just that its beak has penetrated even deeper.

But I just can't pull it out.

"Come, come, everyone, lend a hand. We're all demons, we'll run into each other all the time." The black tiger demon beckoned to the demons.

A group of demons held the body of the hawk demon and lined up in a row.

Black Tiger Spirit: "Listen to my command, let's pull back together!"

"Brother Tiger, I'll do whatever you say!" the wild boar demon flattered.

Black Tiger Spirit: "One, two, three, pull—"

With all their might, the black tiger spirit, carrying the hawk spirit, stumbled backward and fell to the ground.

The hawk spirit was finally pulled down.

"puff--"

Something's not right, the hawk demon is spitting blood.

He sprayed blood all over the Black Tiger Demon's face, and he couldn't even speak clearly.

The demons were surprised, then looked at the pillar and saw that its beak was still stuck in the top of the pillar. The hawk demon had broken free, but its beak was useless.

The black tiger spirit was dumbfounded.

The fairies were dumbfounded.

They were all stunned for a while, watching as the hawk spirit, spitting blood, collapsed to the ground and convulsed. After only a short while, it became still. They didn't know whether it was dead or alive.

"What...what do we do?" the wild boar spirit said in a muffled voice to the black tiger spirit, "Brother Tiger...should we retreat?"

The black tiger spirit waved his hand: "Wait a minute!"

The fairies immediately gathered around.

The black tiger spirit said, "Doesn't everyone find this strange?"

All the fairies: ...

Is there even a need to say it? Everyone here isn't blind; you're just spouting nonsense.

The black tiger spirit continued, "We've been making a scene here for so long, is that Taoist priest still in the main hall? Is he or isn't he?"

A little wild boar spirit huffed and puffed as it ran up to the main hall. It looked at Zhang Zhengdao, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, and asked, "Taoist, my Tiger King is asking if you are still here. Are you here or not?"

Zhang Zhengdao: ? ? ?

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed a little wild boar spirit, so it wasn't surprising. It said, "I'm here!"

So the little wild boar spirit ran back with a "huff" and a "huff" and said to the Tiger King, "Your Majesty, the Taoist priest said that he is in the main hall."

The black tiger demon suddenly slapped his thigh.

The demons were so frightened that they took a step back.

The Black Tiger Spirit said repeatedly, "I knew it! What's strange is that we've caused such a ruckus at the Taoist temple, yet the Taoist isn't afraid and doesn't even run away. Isn't that illogical?"

All the fairies replied in unison, "That doesn't make sense!"

The black tiger spirit said, "Let's go find a Taoist priest and have a word with him!"

All the fairies: "Speak! Speak!"

So the Black Tiger Demon waved his hand, and all the demons swarmed towards the main hall, forming a huge, dark mass as they headed towards the hall to demand an explanation from the Taoist priest.

The Black Tiger Spirit lagged behind, walking slower and slower.

It planned to run out through the side door when all the fairies rushed in.

Turning around, they saw the fox spirit and the spider spirit also preparing to run towards the side door. Suddenly, all six eyes stared at each other, and the three demons were stunned.

"Um... I need to use the restroom!"

As the black tiger spirit spoke, he began to undo his belt.

The spider demon chuckled dryly, "I'll go spin some silk over there—"

The fox spirit chuckled awkwardly twice, "Um... I'm going to fart, I don't want to bother everyone, I'm going now!" With that, she lifted her leg to run away.

The black tiger spirit had just unzipped its pants when it suddenly heard that the air in the dark sky seemed different. It was about to stop tying its pants and run away as fast as it could.

Suddenly, a voice entered the air.

It seemed to be an ancient voice coming from the primordial universe, distant yet clear.

"Certainly!"

Everything was quiet.

The commotion and shouts of battle in the main hall were instantly silenced.

The black tiger spirit froze instantly as he was about to pull up his pants.

Even the fox spirit, who was about to take off running, was frozen in place. Not to mention the spider spirit, whose eight legs, just as they were about to exert force, had four legs raised while the other four remained on the ground, crossed and stiff.

When the Black Tiger Spirit was preparing to flee, he had some vague suspicions.

This Taoist priest might be a powerful being.

From the strange events that just happened, and the girl's attitude towards the Taoist priest.

Putting aside the fact that the girl was shining with golden light that could blind people, her attitude towards Zhang Zhengdao was very abnormal. Unfortunately, everyone was fooled by the Taoist priest.

It's too late to realize this now.

That single word, "Freeze," froze all the demons.

Black Tiger was filled with regret. How could that old Taoist friend be so easy to get along with?

This "immobilization technique" is something even an old Taoist priest probably wouldn't know.

A spell to freeze someone in place? Isn't that something only powerful celestial beings with such profound magical abilities can use? Could this Taoist priest be connected to celestial beings?

The thought of this made me break out in a cold sweat.

Heaven generally cannot tolerate demons like themselves!

What a short-lived idea! Who came up with the idea to demolish this Taoist temple?

The Black Tiger Spirit was on the verge of tears.

Then, through its teary eyes, it saw a Taoist priest slowly walking towards it. With a flick of his whisk, his Taoist robe fluttered—what a divine Taoist priest!

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the Black Tiger Spirit and asked, "Are you the leader?"

The black tiger spirit couldn't move its eyes; it could only shed tears.

Zhang Zhengdao said "Oh," and asked again, "You're the leader, right?"

The Black Tiger Spirit could speak, but it couldn't move.

"Immortal...I...I am!"

One demon does the deed, and one demon bears the consequences; since death is inevitable anyway, it's better to just end it cleanly.

"Yes, you've knocked down the library; you have to pay for it!" Zhang Zhengdao said sternly. "Do you have the money?"

Black Tiger Spirit: ? ? ?

He immediately thought of a good possibility and was overjoyed, but then said with a mournful face, "I have no money."

He thought he had escaped a disaster, that all he had to do was pay compensation. But then he thought about his cave, where he still had half a roe deer meat left over, but no money at all.

Zhang Zhengdao said, "No money? That won't do. Here's what we'll do: you bunch of demons have to work for me to pay back the money. We'll talk about when it's paid off after I settle the accounts, you see..."

"I agreed!"

The Black Tiger Spirit was adept at seizing opportunities and agreed without hesitation, even before Zhang Zhengdao had finished speaking.
