The sword light flashed and disappeared in an instant, sweeping away the golden-winged phoenix and vanishing before Baiyue's eyes.
Gazing in the direction the two had left, Bai Yue remained silent for a long time before finally turning and leaving.
Chapter 144 The Demon Lord Descends
144.
To do something knowing it's impossible is not in Baiyue's character.
In that situation, he clearly couldn't defeat Chu Yang, and forcing himself to chase after him might only create more problems.
Leaving now is the best course of action.
However, given Chu Yang's demonstrated strength, he must prioritize the deal proposed by the Evil Sword Immortal.
The cooperation between the two sides may be even closer than before.
After Bai Yue left, Chu Yang's figure appeared from the Divine Tree Forest. What happened earlier was just an illusion. He concealed his aura and waited for Bai Yue to leave.
The Wind Spirit Orb might still be in this forest. What if Bai Yue decides to wander around in the forest for a moment? Wouldn't that lead to something terrible?
Because of her severe injuries, the Golden-Winged Phoenix was in a coma, so Chu Yang had no choice but to feed her a few Blood Bodhi seeds.
Since it was a divine beast bloodline, the healing effect of the Blood Bodhi was greatly reduced, and Chu Yang had to transfer some more life force to her.
Half a day later, the golden-winged phoenix woke up after tossing and turning.
"Thank you for saving me, young hero."
The Golden-Winged Phoenix made a complete 180-degree turn, no longer regarding Chu Yang as an enemy, and spoke with respect and courtesy.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I'm here to seek the Wind Spirit Pearl from the descendants of Nuwa and stop Baiyue from destroying the world..."
The Golden-Winged Phoenix was taken aback. "I wonder where you got this information, young hero? The Wind Spirit Orb isn't with me."
Chu Yang frowned slightly and asked again, "Is the Fire Spirit Orb in the hands of the Qilin Elder?"
The Golden-Winged Phoenix shook its head and said, "They're not here either. The Wind Spirit Orb and the Fire Spirit Orb have been lost for many years, and several generations of Nuwa's descendants have not been able to find them. I think these two spirit orbs may not be in the human realm."
Chu Yang, who had prepared himself mentally, was not too disappointed, as he had at least eliminated two incorrect options.
"Why are all my choices wrong?"
Chu Yang smiled bitterly. When did he become so unlucky?
"Young hero, although I do not have the Wind Spirit Orb, I can offer other treasures to repay your life-saving grace."
A flash of golden light appeared in the Golden-Winged Phoenix's hand, instantly producing a broken eggshell and a golden Gu worm.
"This Golden Silkworm Gu is a sacred object of the Miao region, capable of greatly enhancing one's martial arts skills."
"I possess the bloodline of the phoenix, which is incompatible with Gu worms and poisons. Forcibly consuming the Golden Silkworm Gu would damage my cultivation. It would be better to give it to you, young hero, hoping that you can rid the human world of such a demon as Baiyue."
"The other one is the eggshell left over from when I gave birth. It contains the essence of heaven and earth and can be used in medicine. I see that you are wearing a Taoist robe, so you should be a disciple of some immortal mountain. Perhaps there is a master alchemist among the elders of your sect..."
Unexpectedly, the boss Baiyue dropped a golden phoenix instead of gold coins. Chu Yang accepted the golden silkworm gu and phoenix egg with a pleasant expression.
Good deeds are rewarded! I never expected to get the Golden Silkworm Gu I've been longing for here. I'll bring it into the Soul Palace later and see if I can replicate it.
but.
Since so many good things have already been revealed, why not add one more? With that thought, Chu Yang clasped his hands and said, "I will have to trouble you, senior, to give me some essence blood. Nuwa's descendant is pregnant and needs some extremely yang spiritual items."
Without hesitation, the Golden-Winged Phoenix nodded in agreement. Her injuries were almost healed, and giving her some essence blood wouldn't harm her vital energy.
Having obtained the Phoenix's essence blood, Chu Yang took his leave.
Since the Golden-Winged Phoenix said that the Qilin Elder did not have the Fire Spirit Orb, there was no need for him to make another wasted trip. He could simply fly to Leizhou on his sword.
After flying on his sword for a night, Chu Yang arrived in Leizhou and saw a strange sight.
The sky over Leizhou seems to be shrouded in dark clouds all year round, a dark and oppressive expanse where the sun never shines. Even though it is daytime, every household has its lights on.
Outside the city, more demons were gathering. Chu Yang glanced at them coldly, and with a sweep of his sword, a large number of those demons died instantly.
A monster with too little power is too weak for even the Demon-Eating Gu to parasitize; it's better to just kill it.
Chu Yang landed in the city and searched everywhere for Xu Changqing and the others. Finally, he heard their voices in front of a spacious mansion.
Yun Mansion.
"Young Master Yun, rest assured, removing the Thunder Spirit Pearl will not cause you any harm."
"How can I be convinced by your side of the story alone?"
"Young Master Yun, I am a disciple of Mount Shu, and I will never break my promise to you."
"Shushan? If it weren't for the fact that your Shushan Tower is about to collapse, so many demons wouldn't have suddenly appeared near Leizhou. If I hadn't used my lightning power to kill the demons, Leizhou would have long since become a paradise for demons."
"Young Master Yun, this is indeed the fault of our Shu Mountain. We have already sent all our disciples down the mountain to exorcise the demon, and we will soon be able to restore peace to the world!"
"Hmph! That's easy for you to say!"
Xu Changqing and Yun Ting argued incessantly, each holding their own position. Yun Ting was not greedy for the power of the Thunder Spirit Pearl, but rather worried about the safety of his hometown folks.
Ultimately, as long as the Demon-Sealing Tower remains in its original state, the tragedy will continue to unfold, and perhaps even Yun Ting, who possesses the Thunder Spirit Orb, will be unable to withstand the next attack of the demonic beasts.
Tang Xuejian couldn't stand their pointless argument any longer and stomped her feet in anger. "Ugh, you two are so annoying! Daoist Changqing, why don't we go kill all the monsters outside the city and then come back to ask him for the Thunder Spirit Orb!"
Yun Ting laughed heartily, "If you can really wipe out all the monsters, I, Yun Ting, will offer you the Thunder Spirit Orb with both hands!"
"I hope Young Master Yun will keep his word." Chu Yang walked in from outside, a faint smile on his face.
"Junior brother!" Xu Changqing exclaimed in surprise. Although it had only been a few days since they last met, it felt like years.
Especially the period when he was caught between Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru, and Tang Xuejian and Jingtian, felt like an eternity.
"Senior brother, you look so haggard after just a few days!" Chu Yang looked at Xu Changqing in surprise, who seemed to have his energy drained by a succubus, with dark circles under his eyes like a panda's.
"It's a long story, junior brother..." Xu Changqing glanced indignantly at Li Xiaoyao and the others, his eyes brimming with tears. "Anyway, it's good that you're here."
Li Xiaoyao greeted him with a grin, "Brother Chu, what do you think about Young Master Yun asking us to get rid of the monsters outside the city?"
"Of course." Chu Yang nodded with a smile. "But there's no need to trouble everyone. On the way here, I already took care of those monsters who wanted to attack the city."
Everyone was shocked.
Yun Ting sneered, "How arrogant! Even I have to rely on the sturdiness of the city walls to eliminate some every day. What makes you think you can?"
"Of course, it's the sharp sword in my hand that matters. Do you think I rely on my sharp tongue like you do?"
Instead of wasting time arguing with me, why don't you go to the city wall and see for yourself?
Chu Yang found a chair, sat down, picked up the teapot on the table, and began to pour himself a drink.
Seeing his confidence, Yun Ting said no more and left with some doubt.
After Yun Ting left, everyone immediately surrounded Chu Yang and asked him where he had been these past few days.
Jing Tian silently watched Chu Yang from the crowd, his heart filled with curiosity. Why did this Taoist priest want to drag him into this group?
A moment later, Yun Ting returned, his face still showing shock.
Is it really possible that someone could eliminate so many monsters all by themselves?
Yun Ting walked up to Chu Yang, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "I hope you will forgive me for offending you earlier, Daoist Master."
Chu Yang reached out and helped him up, saying with a light laugh, "Young Master Yun has a benevolent heart and is concerned about the safety of the people of Leizhou, so how can you blame him?"
"I am doing this simply to prove to you, young master, that Mount Shu still possesses the strength to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and that there is no need to worry about the future of the people of Leizhou after losing the Thunder Spirit Pearl."
"Moreover, Leizhou has been shrouded in darkness for more than ten years because of the Thunder Spirit Pearl. It's time for a change."
Yun Ting finally revealed a relieved smile. He was carrying the power of the Thunder Spirit Orb, but wasn't he also carrying a heavy curse?
After all, the woman he deeply loved died because of this power.
Listening to their conversation, Tang Xuejian looked at Chu Yang in shock. She thought the Taoist priest was fooling Yun Ting and was extremely worried.
The group came to Leizhou by waterway. They had been blocked outside the city and could not enter until Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao lured away the demons, which gave them the opportunity to enter the city.
With so many monsters, even Xu Changqing, the eldest disciple of Mount Shu, couldn't handle them. How could this "junior brother" that Xu Changqing mentioned have killed them all?
Tang Xuejian was both shocked and curious.
Jing Tian, standing to the side, had a similar expression.
Only Xu Changqing was worried, fearing that Chu Yang might go astray in his attempt to save the common people.
Li Xiaoyao secretly compared the gap between himself and Chu Yang in his mind, and immediately exclaimed, "Brother Chu's cultivation has become stronger again. He truly deserves to be called a genius of the Shu Mountain Sect."
Lin Yueru scoffed, "Isn't that obvious? Do you think everyone is like you, always so carefree and irresponsible? He's a rising star among the younger generation of the Shu Mountain Sect."
Li Xiaoyao said urgently, "Who are you calling a slacker? I'm going to join the Shu Mountain Sect and become a great hero someday!"
Lin Yueru said disdainfully, "Tsk tsk, with your looks, you'll never be able to join the Shu Mountain Sect in your next life!"
The two had a heated argument.
Xu Changqing was like Sun Wukong with a tight headband, clutching his head in great pain, and could only look at Chu Yang with hopeful eyes.
Junior brother! They've been like this the whole way! Please save your brother!
Chu Yang's lips curled up slightly, and he coughed lightly, saying, "Between men and women of similar age, the more they argue, the deeper their entanglement becomes, and the greater the chance they will become lovers in the future."
