Chapter 771: There Are More Powerful Means (1)

Boom.

The incantation pressed down. Dozens of pangolin demons immediately exploded, their flesh and blood flying everywhere. The largest white worm was only slightly injured. Seeing that the situation was not good, it immediately burrowed into the mountain path beside it and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The eldest senior sister of the Ling Yin Temple shouted, “There’s no need to chase. That’s a bone worm demon. It’s even better at burrowing into mountains and the ground than the pangolin. Check the surroundings of the relay station to see if there are any remaining demons.”

“Yes, Senior Sister!”

The other disciples immediately checked. The entire courier station was ravaged by the demons. The unconscious merchant and the dancer were fine.

Shen Ping concealed his aura and did not show his face. He was very curious why the disciples of the Ling Yin Temple would suddenly come to Shuzhou. It had to be known that Shanyang County was not close to Shuzhou.

After a while, the disciples of the Ling Yin Temple, who had simply built some remains and wood, gathered.

Yin Shu said, “Senior Sister, these demons are not weak. They are all above a hundred years old. If they were just attacking the relay station, they would not have used such demons. I’m afraid their goal is us.”

The other Daoists nodded.

Eldest Senior Sister with sharp eyebrows seemed to be in deep thought. “We didn’t reveal too many traces along the way, nor did we interact much with others. We only revealed our ident.i.ties at the courier station. Could it be that the Imperial Court has leaked our traces?”

Yin Shu and the others immediately fell silent. They did not dare to answer.

Now, the conflict between the Imperial Court and more than half of the Daoist temples in the world was becoming more and more intense. They secretly used the Imperial Preceptor to weaken the strength of the Dao lineage. The relay station was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court. It was not impossible for them to leak their whereabouts to the demon forces.

They were just unwilling to believe it. After all, demons and ghosts were the common enemy of the Imperial Court and the Dao Sect.

“Alright, have a good rest tonight. The road to Emei is not easy.”

After midnight, the Daoists fell asleep. Only the Eldest Senior Sister was sitting cross-legged and keeping watch. When Shen Ping saw this, he could not disturb her. He could only pretend to be a traveling daoist hired by the caravan and continue to faint.

The next day, the five disciples of the Ling Yin Temple left the courier station early in the morning. The leaders of the caravan only woke up at noon. They looked at the messy relay station and were in a daze. Shen Ping explained briefly before they hurried on.

After the difficult mountain travel for four to five days, everyone finally arrived at a county.

Shen Ping separated from the caravan and caught up to the disciples of the Ling Yin Temple. Then, he followed behind. He had originally gone to the Shuzhou to kill demons and quickly increase the vitality of the five elements to break through to the Earth Immortal realm. Therefore, following these five sources of disaster was the best way.

Indeed, as he had expected, they were frequently attacked by demons along the way, and their cultivation was not shallow. Clearly, the powerful demon factions of the Shuzhou were chasing after them.

However, with the help of that Eldest Senior Sister with sharp eyebrows, Yin Shu and the others were fine.

Shen Ping followed behind and used his talent to devour and absorb the remaining five-elemental vitality of the corpses of these demons. Moreover, he also killed the demons that had escaped. In just half a month, the five-elemental Dao bone condensed by the Five-elemental Nomological Stone in his body had 300 more patterns.

On the steep and rugged mountain path, the five people of Ling Yin Temple rested exhaustedly. After continuously exterminating demons, even their eldest senior sister felt that she could not hold on. The main reason was that those demons did not give them a chance to breathe at all as they attacked almost every day.

In fact, by now, they had basically figured out that the demon’s target was them, or rather, the demon wanted to stop them from going to Emei.

“Senior Sister, I suggest that we take a long detour from Jian Province to Emei. Otherwise, if we go straight to Shu City and follow the Shu River, we might die halfway. Further ahead is the territory occupied by demons, especially the Shu River, where there are flood dragons doing evil there. Although it’s easy to encounter seniors from Emei, the chances are not high.”

A Daoist suggested.

Yin Shu and the others did not say anything. They had the same thought. After all, they had encountered too many demons along the way.

The Eldest Senior Sister of the Ling Yin Temple frowned and did not say anything. How could she not know this? But once they took a detour, they would be delayed for an additional month. Who knew what accidents would happen during this period?

She thought for a while, she then said slowly, “For now, we can only travel separately. I’ll walk from the direction of Shu City to attract the attention of the demons. You guys take a detour and rush to Emei as soon as possible.”

Yin Shu was the first to disagree. “No, absolutely not. Senior Sister, you’re the strongest among us. Without you, it’s impossible for the four of us to survive. If the demon’s goal is to kill us, it’s useless to take a detour.”

“That’s right. Senior Sister, nothing can happen to you.”

“It doesn’t matter if we die, but you are the future of our Ling Yin Temple. If you die, how will we explain it to the Ancestral Master?”

The other Daoists spoke one after another.

Eldest Senior Sister, who had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, hesitated again. The main reason why the Ancestral Master brought them to Shuzhou this time was to deliver an important thing. The reason why they separated was that he knew that the demons and ghosts in Shuzhou would definitely send experts to block the way. Therefore, he uses an illusion to confuse others, but with other intentions. He asked her to bring the things and lead her junior brothers and sisters to Emei.

Unexpectedly, the demon was chasing so closely. After some thought, she finally told them about it.

“This thing is extremely important. It concerns the safety of our Ling Yin Temple. Right now, only by bringing it can I attract the demons. Only then can you be safe.”

Yin Shu and the others immediately fell silent.

A voice suddenly sounded in Yin Shu’s ear, “Senior Sister, why don’t you agree? However, it’s best if you lead the demon away with the thing and let the Eldest Senior Sister of the Ling Yin Temple bring the rest of the people to Emei quickly. There’s no need to worry about your safety with me around..”
