Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City-Chapter 783 - 792: Exorcising Demons and Defending the Dao

Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Wuwa's complexion immediately turned even uglier, and she recounted the events that had transpired.

It turned out that not long ago, in a village named Qingfeng Village among the eighteen, a rare severe drought had occurred. What puzzled everyone was that the neighboring villages enjoyed favorable weather, with timely wind and rain.

As such, confusion arose. The areas in question were located in the same region, separated only by a dozen miles of mountain roads. How could such bizarre events occur?

If it happened just once, it would be normal, since mountains commonly disrupt weather patterns. But as time passed, the continuous anomaly became the talk of all the people.

Some said that Qingfeng Village had been beset by monsters that came out at night to harm people, and even attacked the living. Within just a few days, the entire Qingfeng Village was thrown into exceptional terror.

A few days later, the villagers could no longer sit idly by and approached Qingfeng Village's Grand Sorcerer, requesting his help to eliminate the demon.

The Grand Sorcerer of Qingfeng Village, named Ge'er Ri, boasted impressive cultivation, being a mighty Transcendence Tribulation Stage early stage practitioner. Normally, ghosts and monsters should pose no threat to him.

So Ge'er Ri left seclusion, and at night, he started patrolling Qingfeng Village. However, during his patrol, a terrifying monster appeared.

Unusually tall, the monster had a sullen face and not a trace of life could be detected on its body, which instead was filled with a suffocating aura of death.

Beneath its feet, fierce flames erupted. With each step it took, not a blade of grass would grow in its surroundings, and Ge'er Ri didn't even get the chance to engage in battle before he chose to flee.

According to Ge'er Ri, the mere presence of the monster made him feel terrified to the core, too afraid to make a move.

After fleeing, Ge'er Ri reported to Wuwa, for she was the Saintess of the eighteen villages, holding immense authority.

Upon hearing Ge'er Ri's report, the Saintess led six mages into battle. Even though they were six strong Transcendence Tribulation Stage practitioners, they were instantly blown away by the terrifying monster, and didn't have the slightest ability to fight back.

Strangely though, the monster did not pursue them after defeating them, rather, it started to wander slowly across the land, seemingly without any intention to harm people.

A monster not harming people was definitely good news, but it was merely a tiny bit of good in an extremely bad situation. If the monster were not dealt with, and should it go berserk one day, all eighteen villages would be at risk.

So, the Saintess invited Ye Ling over—this was the course of events, and Ye Ling nodded, his eyes sparkling with a different light as he shook his head with a bitter smile.

If he wasn't mistaken, this monster was born at the time of his ascension, a part of his Immortal Tribulation karma.

When becoming an immortal, one must sever all karma to aid future cultivation. Therefore, normally, powerhouses on the verge of immortality would resolve all their past karmas.

Like with Ye Ling, Wuwa's current predicament was born from his karma. It could be said that if not for Ye Ling, such an event would not have occurred.

Of course, this was merely speculation. The specifics would only be revealed upon finding that creature.

"I think I know what this monster is," Ye Ling said slowly. Wuwa gave him a sidelong glance and pouted, "Nonsense, I know what it is, too. I found out after consulting ancient texts."

"A drought demon. A corpse transforming into a drought demon leaves nothing but barrenness in its wake."

Ye Ling stood up and turned around, looking at each of the nodding Grand Sorcerers and couldn't help but smile, "It's just as well it's still only a drought demon. If it were to transform further, it would become a Bao."

A Bao, a fearsome beast, and the one under the Buddha in Buddha's Kingdom, the Golden-Furred Arhat, was such a creature—terrifying to no end, each one an Earth Immortal of formidable might.

"If it turned into a Bao, I'm afraid even you wouldn't suffice," Wuwa said as she brushed her hair aside, shaking her head. In her view, a Bao was an invincible entity. Of course, she did not know that Ye Ling had already become a Hongchen Immortal.

Knowing what it was, Ye Ling naturally didn't delay any further and headed straight for Qingfeng Village.

The other Grand Sorcerers didn't follow, and the only one accompanying Ye Ling was Uwa, the proud Saintess of the Eighteen Fortresses, with her fiery figure and appealing bronze skin.

"Tell me, you playboy, do you pick flowers wherever you wander?"

"In Bai Village, you can still cause trouble because of a woman. Should I be happy or should I be disappointed?"

Uwa glanced at Ye Ling from mid-air. Ye Ling was startled, not understanding what she meant. Uwa, on the other hand, smiled slightly, "Happy because the man Uwa has chosen is indeed extraordinary."

"Disappointed because, even in Bai Village, you still harbored lustful thoughts towards others. Am I not attractive enough?"

As she spoke, Uwa thrust out her chest, causing tumultuous waves. Ye Ling's eyes went wide, and he quickly coughed. In truth, Uwa and Liu Zitong were completely different types.

One was filled with wildness; the other was brimming with urban charm. Both of them had exquisitely beautiful faces and impeccable figures. Nevertheless, they were from two completely different worlds and incomparable. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Feeling awkward, Ye Ling did not continue the conversation. Speechless, the two of them made their way to Qingfeng Village.

In the early morning, the doors of every household in Qingfeng Village were tightly shut, even the inns had closed their doors and weren't doing business.

When compared to money, life was of greater importance. These people were still clear about what was more important.

There was a small pavilion in Qingfeng Village where the two of them sat, waiting for the appearance of the Drought Demon. The night in the mountains was chilly and damp.

The pair sat close together, their bodies touching, feeling each other's skin temperature and even sensing each other's heartbeat.

"Are you about to leave?"

Uwa turned and spoke slowly. Ye Ling, stunned, was puzzled, while Uwa gave a wry smile, "I sensed it, though I don't know why my Hongwan inside your body suddenly lost control for no reason."

"But since my Hongwan is still inside you, will you come back?"

Hearing Uwa's words, Ye Ling looked up at the sky and took a deep breath, "Maybe, who knows."

In the vast Immortal Realm, Ye Ling now only had the cultivation of an Earth Immortal; how could he know what the future held?

Uwa smiled bitterly, a resolute expression appearing in her eyes, and suddenly stood up, staring intently at Ye Ling.

"May I have you one more time?"

After speaking, Uwa, under Ye Ling's shocked gaze, undid her top, revealing her alluring figure.

"This... this isn't right."

Ye Ling swallowed hard. We're here on serious business, aren't we? This is so inappropriate.

"Perhaps once you leave, we will never meet again. This is my last request, and I want it!"

With that, Uwa pounced on Ye Ling. Ye Ling's blood also boiled instantly, responding passionately.

Yet, Ye Ling really wanted to shout out, we came to exorcise demons and defend the path of righteousness. Now, with the way things are, why does he feel like some kind of demon himself?
