Chapter 20

After the black tiger was killed, Lin Zixuan descended from the sky.

"Why did Junior Martial Brother come to Huang Lin Mountain?"

"Martial Uncle was afraid that something might happen to Senior Martial Brother, so he asked Junior Martial Brother to come and help." Jiang Yuanchen said, then he and Lin Zixuan came to the place where the black tiger demon was lying.

"What a pity for a mountain god mount. If it cultivated properly in the mountain and didn't use evil methods to devour living beings, the position of Huang Lin Mountain's Mountain God might have belonged to it in the future." The black tiger demon's body was shattered by Lin Zixuan's yellow seal and turned into a pile of meat paste in the deep pit. How could one tell its original body?

"Yes, the tiger demon's bloodline has always been close to the mountain spirits. If it concentrated on cultivating for a hundred years, it would receive the sect's edict." Lin Zixuan waved his Daoist robe, and two things flew out from the pile of meat paste. One was the tiger demon's inner core, and the other was a metal wristguard.

The tiger demon's inner core was the token that Lin Zixuan handed over to the sect as proof of a mission. This item was also the tiger demon's essence. It survived the attack of Lin Zixuan's magic tool. As for the wristguard, Lin Zixuan looked at it for a long time before handing it over to Jiang Yuanchen.

"Junior Martial Brother, do you need it? According to the sect's rules, you can take away the side items obtained from the mission. "

Jiang Yuanchen took the wristguard and felt the Mountain God's power on it. He said, "This item should be the former Mountain God's protective armor. I don't know why it was taken by the black tiger demon to be used as the Mountain God's proof. This item is useless to Junior Martial Brother. But if you want to become the Mountain God of this place, this item will be very useful. "

Jiang Yuanchen's tone was a little regretful. Since the black tiger demon had the Mountain God's wristguard, it was almost certain that it would become the next Mountain God. Why did it deliberately harm living beings to use the method of blood and flesh to cultivate? After all, it was the Mountain God's mount, it should know about the Divine Path. A light flashed in Jiang Yuanchen's mind. He seemed to have noticed something, but then he threw it to the back of his mind and couldn't remember.

The two walked into the Mountain God Temple, ready to explain to Li Tianhao and the others in the temple.

Gao He was refined by Jiang Yuanchen as a henchman, and Zhang Dabao died not long after his stomach was pierced by the wild boar demon. Now, only the injured Li Tianhao, Liu Wei, and Wang Fang were left hiding in the temple.

Now, the wounded Li Tianhao, Liu, and the others were hiding in the temple. Lin Zixuan looked at the three of them and couldn't help saying, "This poor Daoist fought with the tiger demon in the mountains and encountered several Nightmare Ghosts and Evil Spirits. I presume that the brothers you've been looking for are long gone." Jiang Yuanchen had already told Lin Zixuan about Li Tianhao and the others when they entered the Mountain God Temple.

"Mountain spirits and ghosts are mostly stories of the human world. After all, this world is not something mortals like you can easily set foot in. "Mountain spirits and ghosts are the stuff of legends. This world is not for mortals like you.

Hearing Lin Zixuan's words, Li Tianhao and the other two looked at each other speechlessly. For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward. No one noticed that the Mountain God statue behind them had unconsciously revealed a strange smile.

Li Tianhao perked up. "Immortal Master, may I ask where the tiger demon's lair is? We have to bring back the corpses of our brothers. "

Returning the corpses to their homes was necessary. It was the only thing the living could do.

Lin Zixuan nodded and replied, "No problem. Tomorrow, I'll take you to the Black Wind Cave and kill the remaining Demonic Beasts."

While Lin Zixuan and Li Tianhao were talking, Jiang Yuanchen used the Drought Rain Spell to heal Liu Wei and Wang Fang's wounds. Hearing Lin Zixuan's words, Jiang Yuanchen said, "Tomorrow, I will also go with Senior Brother. It can also be considered as me taking a look at this demon subduing method."

It was Jiang Yuanchen's first time encountering beasts. He didn't have enough experience. Otherwise, that Nightmare Ghost Gao He would have seen through it at first glance, and that wild boar demon wouldn't have killed Zhang Dabao for no reason.

"But —" Before Lin Zixuan could finish, Jiang Yuanchen's Mountain God Gauntlet suddenly shone with a red light. It resonated with the Mountain God statue on the ground.

Soon, a bloody mist flew out of the Mountain God statue and entered the gauntlet. Then, the gauntlet was put on Li Tianhao's wrist.

"…" What is this?! Jiang Yuanchen was completely helpless against the frequent occurrences of this place. He placed the Mass Dust Banner in front of him and carefully observed Li Tianhao's situation.

Li Tianhao was shrouded in the red mist. After a while, he opened his eyes. His black pupils had turned into a pair of blood red eyes.

I'm finally out! "Li Tianhao said. Liu Wei wanted to say something but was pulled to a corner by Wang Fang. When immortals fight, mortals suffer. Li Tianhao's situation was obviously not right.

"Is it the previous Mountain God? Are you trying to borrow a body to be reborn? " Jiang Yuanchen reprimanded. "You are the Mountain God. If you have a soul, you can use your faith to reconstruct your body. But if you take over a mortal's body, your soul will be destroyed when the Dao Sect blames you in the future. "

While reprimanding the Mountain God's remnant soul, Jiang Yuanchen hurriedly activated the black jade necklace on his neck with his inner Yuan, using the water elemental energy to help him recover his inner Yuan Qi. He had just joined hands with Lin Zixuan to kill the tiger demon. In addition, he had helped Liu Wei and Wang Fang recover their injuries. Now, he only had twenty percent of his power left. If he encountered another Mountain God, how could he win?

"Devil path?" Lin Zixuan was different from Jiang Yuanchen. He had cultivated for twenty years more than Jiang Yuanchen. After experiencing the outside world for a long time, he obviously felt that something was wrong. He stepped forward and protected Jiang Yuanchen behind him. A jade bottle flew out of his sleeve and landed in Jiang Yuanchen's hand.

Without saying anything, Jiang Yuanchen poured out a red pill and swallowed it. Pure Yang Qi escaped from the pill and turned into abundant inner Yuan Qi that merged with Jiang Yuanchen's energy whirlpool. Waves of purple mist inner Yuan once again flowed through his body.

"White Yang Pill?" The Mountain God's remnant soul was controlling Li Tianhao's body and did not care about Lin Zixuan's little tricks. It was only when Jiang Yuanchen took the pill that it sniffed with its nose. It immediately saw through what Lin Zixuan had given to Jiang Yuanchen.

The Taixu Taoism's unique Three Yang Pill. White Yang, Green Yang, and Purple Yang were corresponding to the Taixu Taoism's White Yang Mountain, Green Yang Lake, and Purple Yang Peak. It could be said that this was the Taixu Taoism's signature pill. Every pill was a Qi Ling pill that was formed by combining the Purple Dawn Qi and the Great Sun Essence with all kinds of Light Spirit Qi.

There were many types of pills. The Qi Ling Pill had fewer impurities than the Wood Spirit Pill and the Metal Spirit Pill. It was also easier for cultivators to absorb and refine it, making it very convenient during battles. This was especially true if consumed by the Taixu Dao Sect's inner circle. Its effects were much greater than if consumed by outsiders.

"You can recognize the White Yang Pill at a glance. You shouldn't be a mere Mountain God, right? Also, the demonic Qi around you is dense. No matter how I look at you, you look like someone from the demonic path. "Lin Zixuan looked at Li Tianhao and said coldly. "What kind of monster are you?! Not only did you devour the Mountain God's spirit, but you also hid in the Mountain God's statue until now! "

An evil ghost's phantom head appeared behind Li Tianhao. The head revealed two rows of sharp teeth. "Junior, you dare to question your Demon King Dong Yang with your Foundation Establishment cultivation?"

The wailing of the evil ghost suddenly rang in Lin Zixuan's ears. Lin Zixuan's Niwan Palace shook, as if he had fallen into a ghost's maze. He quickly lit up an ancient bronze lamp and used the pure Yang light of the magic treasure to dispel Demon King Dong Yang's demonic art.

"Is this the soul-controlling art of the Hall of Life?" Lin Zixuan was bewildered. He couldn't care less about Wang Fang and the others. He directly pulled Jiang Yuanchen away from this place.

There was no need to say anything. Everything was definitely controlled by this Demon King. After killing the Mountain God, he devoured the remnant soul of the Mountain God and hid in the statue. Then, he used a Mountain God's wristguard to trick the black tiger demon, secretly luring it to devour the blood essence of living beings.

The black tiger demon had been living under the Mountain God's throne all year round. He could be considered a spirit beast that cultivated properly. How could he have learned all kinds of demonic arts? Moreover, he didn't use the method to refine the Mountain Spirit's essence soul. Instead, he used an evil method to devour living beings. This Demon Lord must have used the Demonic Dao to secretly lure him!

A golden talisman was activated by Lin Zixuan. The golden light enveloped the two of them and they used the earth escape art to escape this place. However, they did not expect that a dark cloud would move faster than them, directly enveloping the entire Mountain God Temple in dark clouds.

"Men of Taixu Taoism? Old enemies indeed! That Yuwei caused me to be sealed in the Mountain God statue for decades. I'll use you two disciples and grand-disciples as a sumptuous feast! " Demon King Dong Yang didn't hesitate and directly used the dark cloud to seal off Lin Zixuan and Jiang Yuanchen's escape route.

The golden talisman was frozen by the dark cloud magic, and Lin Zixuan and Jiang Yuanchen fell into darkness at the same time. As for the two mortals that Liu Weiwang released, they fainted as soon as the demonic qi appeared.

"Let's fight with all our strength." Lin Zixuan took a deep breath and raised the ancient bronze lamp in his hand to cut through the darkness. The light shone on his face, revealing a solemn expression.

Jiang Yuanchen grunted and looked at the current Demon King Dong Yang with full vigilance. After consuming a white sun pill, he recovered part of his magic power. He used the Mass Dust Banner to protect himself and tightly gripped the peach wood sword in his right hand.
