Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Yao Lie's prediction was correct; Gao Li did indeed intend to incite conflict between the human and demon realms. Currently, demons who had followed him were causing chaos in the human realm, while human cultivators were receiving numerous pleas for help from ordinary people and were rushing to various places to suppress the unrest.

"The human and demon races have lived in peace for thousands of years. What is the demon race's intention in acting like this now!"

On the main peak of the Miqing Sect of the human race, Sect Master Bai Chengzhou and the peak masters of each peak sat in front of the water mirror, reviewing the images sent back by the disciples who had gone to deal with the demons.

In a small village, before the arrival of the disciples of the Miqing Sect, the village had already been attacked by water demons. This story dates back to half a month ago.

About two weeks ago, a strange illness suddenly appeared in the village. The first group of villagers to fall ill developed patches of silvery-gray, walnut-sized blisters on their skin, with bulging bumps underneath, as if something was about to burst out. The illness seemed contagious, and one after another, people in the village fell ill, leaving the village's old doctor helpless.

One night, someone got up to check on a sick family member and noticed a trail of water on his face. The person thought he was just seeing things and didn't pay much attention. He raised his sleeve to wipe it away, but the next moment, the water trickled up his hand and rushed down his throat.

"Uh-huh!"

A suffocating sense of fear swept over him. The man desperately clutched his neck and knocked things over in the house, waking his sleeping family members. Only then did the villagers notice the strange occurrence.

Unfortunately, there was nothing that could be done to save the man; they could only watch helplessly as he suffocated to death.

After that, the troublemakers became even more audacious. People drawing water from the well or washing clothes by the river were suddenly dragged into the water, and by the time they were pulled out, they were already dead.

"We must have angered the water god!"

The village dwindled in number. Some elderly people knelt shakily by the river, kowtowing and begging the water god to calm his anger. Some alert people sensed something was wrong and insisted it was a monster. They ignored all attempts to stop them and ran out of the village to seek help, which is how Mi Qingzong found out.

However, by the time the disciples of the Miqing Sect arrived, there were no survivors in the village, except for the person who went out to deliver the message.

When Lin Xu and Wei Cheng'an arrived, they saw that the village was shrouded in demonic energy. Although it had dissipated considerably, it was still incredibly dense.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"That demon has probably already left."

Lin Xu took out the recording stone and explored and recorded along the direction of the demonic aura, finally stopping at the riverbank.

A talisman was thrown out and activated with spiritual power onto the river surface. The talisman spontaneously combusted as soon as it touched the water.

"That demon comes from here."

"Based on the villager's description, it's probably a water demon..."

"But what is their purpose? Is it simply to massacre the entire village?"

If that's the case, then things are serious...

After that, similar incidents continued to occur in various places. These monsters were clearly just committing massacres, which aroused the anger of the human race. Human cultivators sent people to capture the monsters while trying to contact the monster leaders, but received no response.

Inside the restaurant room, Jiang Heng was lying on a chair, tilting her head to look at He Wanglan, who had a serious expression on his face. She saw him raise his finger and make a hand seal.

"Shi Lang".

At the foot of the Forget-Worry Cliff, Shi Lang felt a warmth on his forehead and suddenly woke up.

"Your Majesty! Are you alright?"

Upon hearing Shi Lang's sudden voice, Ye He scrambled to his feet and moved closer to him, his eyes shining brightly. The Venerable One had finally contacted them!

Hearing his voice, He Wanglan frowned. "Injured?"

"Yes, it is because I am incompetent and no match for Gao Li."

"Where are the pills I gave you before?"

"I used it, but it wasn't very effective. The wound is strange, but it can hold up."

He Wanglan frowned even more deeply. He had infused a drop of flower dew into the pills he gave Shi Lang and the others, enough to heal even fatal wounds, which was one of the reasons he wasn't worried about them. But now he was being told they were useless?

"Where are Ye He and Lin Xiao?"

"Ye He is with me, and I can't contact Lin Xiao." Shi Lang relayed the information Ye He had gathered to him, awaiting further instructions.

"I still have matters to attend to and cannot return to Forget-Worry Mountain for the time being. You all take care of yourselves and do not confront Gao Li head-on."

After cutting off contact with Shi Lang, He Wanglan contacted Lin Xiao, and to her surprise, Lin Xiao responded immediately. He Wanglan's fingers, which were resting on the table, curled slightly, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes, so fast that no one noticed it.

"where?"

"Your Majesty, I am currently in the Demon City. Gao Li has arrested all the demons who spoke on your behalf, and I am investigating their whereabouts."

"Put this aside for now, Yehe is also handling it. Come find me now."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing that He Wanglan wanted to use him, Lin Xiao immediately left the Demon City and headed towards He Wanglan's location.

"Your Majesty...is Shi Lang injured?"

Yao Lie carefully observed He Wanglan's expression before speaking cautiously.

"Ah."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk more, Yao Lie scratched his head and sat quietly to the side to keep watch.

"Tongtong, is there something wrong with that Shi Lang guy? He seems a bit down ever since He Wanglan cut off contact with him..."

"You seem to be in a bad mood... Do you want to comfort you?"

Jiang Heng looked up at the person next to her, only to meet his gaze. She raised her tail and wrapped it around his wrist, then patted the back of his hand with the tip of her tail.

"Trying to coax me?"

"???" Is it that obvious?

He Wanglan smiled, turned her hand over and flicked the tip of Jiang Heng's tail, seemingly in a better mood.

After Yao Lie returned to his room, He Wanglan picked up Jiang Heng, raised his hand and waved it, and a thick, soft white felt was spread on the bed.

He Wanglan placed the little fox on it. The white fox blended into the felt, making its pink ear tips, nose, and bright black eyes stand out even more.

"Little fox, you stay here and cultivate well. I'll be right back."

Before Jiang Heng could speak, He Wanglan tapped his brow, sent a wisp of his divine consciousness into his body, and then disappeared from the spot.

Jiang Heng raised her paw and pressed the spot that had been touched, feeling a warm sensation for a moment.

After confirming that He Wanglan was not in the room, 886 immediately ran out of the consciousness space, rolled around on the felt a few times, and then rolled over to snuggle up next to Jiang Heng.

"I want to stick close to the host!"

Jiang Heng flicked her tail and circled 886 in front of her, then patted it with her paw. The two furballs, one big and one small, played together.

He Wanglan, who witnessed this scene through the wisp of divine consciousness he left behind, shook his head helplessly, "He's still a child at heart."

Withdrawing his attention, He Wanglan continued heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.
