Chapter 14

Even if crippling the green snake man with one move was just luck, then this time, blasting the Huangdaxian to death with fire was definitely no longer luck—it was strength. The white-bearded spirit glanced stealthily into the distance, thinking, this City God Lord seems to have really returned; otherwise, he wouldn't be so troublesome!

But so what? The Demon King is holding the line, so he has to bite the bullet and go up.

I don't believe that you, a single City God, can withstand our wheel war!

The white-bearded spirit gave a wink to a wolf demon. That guy, with a ferocious face, was just about to step forward to provoke when he heard a deafening tiger roar, shaking the mountains.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and sand and stones flew, making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Following a voice: "Presumptuous! Is the City God Lord someone you can provoke? Why don't you retreat with me!"

While speaking, a strong wind arrived, blowing to the temple gate and turning into a fierce middle-aged man in white robes, with round eyes, curly whiskers, and a white spot on his forehead, like a crescent moon with a missing corner.

He was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, tall and sturdy, his eyes opening and closing like lightning, but overall he gave people a feeling of ferocity and danger.

Upon appearing, the middle-aged man in white robes feigned to shout at the wolf demon to retreat. The other demons seemed extremely afraid when they saw him, and no one dared to step forward.

Seeing this person, Su Yuanshan's gaze froze, and his heart jumped!

A Great Demon in the Transformation Stage...?

It seems correct! Because this demon could not only transform into a human form but also gave him a great sense of oppression,

and seemed very dangerous!

After seeing the other party clearly, his heart sank a few more inches. He could see that the surrounding mountain spirits and wild monsters were all very afraid of him. From this point, it could be seen that this person should be the newly ascended Demon King, Baie Hou!

But for some reason, this Demon King gave him a very strange feeling.

Baie Hou was carrying a few gorgeously feathered pheasants in his hand; they seemed to have just been bitten to death, and blood was still dripping from their necks.

Arriving at the temple gate, he didn't break in directly, but hypocritically bowed to the temple before saying.

"Baie pays respects to the Weiling Lord. Hearing that the Lord has returned, Baie should have come to congratulate you earlier, but I was truly delayed by some matters, so I came late.

Today, I bring a small gift to apologize, and I hope the Lord will appear to meet me!"

One called him Lord, and the other called him Lord. Originally, Liu Yiyi was a bit confused, thinking it was a respectful term used by the locals, but later the more she thought about it, the more wrong it felt, and her gaze toward Su Yuanshan became increasingly strange.

She looked from time to time at the empty statue on the offering table, and from time to time at Su Yuanshan, her heart frightened by the thought that suddenly popped up.

He... is he the City God...?

This... impossible... impossible?

No matter how she looked at him, he was a person, and he had a shadow; how could he be a deity?

But... why did those "strange... people" outside the temple call him Lord?

What kind of joke is this? I actually encountered a living god?

Has the City God manifested? How is he so young? This is impossible, impossible!

At that moment, Liu Yiyi's heart was very chaotic, very chaotic, and her expression was very strange.

It seemed very difficult to connect the legendary City God with the young man in front of her.

Su Yuanshan clearly had no intention of guessing Liu Yiyi's thoughts; his focus at this moment was entirely on this dangerous person who had appeared.

Baie Hou, although he deliberately hid it, Su Yuanshan still saw a clue.

He had once seen the gazetteer of Nanzhou Town through the memories of some plant spirits. There was a record about the white tiger slaughtering a village. It was said that at that time, a white tiger ate no less than a hundred people, and it was called "Baie Hou" by the locals, saying it was the incarnation of an evil ghost and spirit.

It must be this person in front of him; that is to say, his true form is a white tiger that has become a spirit!

From the rolling blood-evil Qi around his body, it could be seen that the number of living beings who died at his hands was definitely not small; otherwise, there couldn't be such thick blood-evil Qi.

He thought to himself, this demon is worthy of being a Demon King; his cultivation seems not shallow!

Facing him, I really don't have the certainty of victory; let's see what his intentions are first.

Thinking of this, Su Yuanshan's voice was sent far away, carrying full majesty.

"You tiger demon, you actually know some human etiquette!

However, you use blood food as a tribute to offer to me; do you also regard me as one of you beasts who drink blood and eat raw meat?"

Baie Hou laughed out loud.

"That is indeed Baie's negligence; I hope the Weiling Lord will forgive me!"

Su Yuanshan said indifferently.

"To know one's mistakes and correct them is a great virtue. You take the flesh and blood of others as food, regarding it as a matter of course, and you don't think it's wrong to harm the countryside. As a local official, I cannot agree. You should take this tribute back; I have no fortune to enjoy it.

In addition, I advise you, it is best to restrain your demonic crowd and not do evil in my territory; otherwise, you will only bring trouble upon yourself!"

Baie Hou laughed loudly.

"Absurd! Is the Weiling Lord warning me?"

"I was born to eat humans and beasts; what is the fault in that?"

"Those mortals were born to be our food, aren't they?"

"The Lord actually protects them? Don't you think it's not worth it?"

"Who abandoned you? It was those greedy, profit-seeking, ignorant human race!"

"Over the years, have they ever offered you even a bit of incense?"

"Have they ever offered you even a bit of tribute?"

Saying this, he threw the wild pheasant on the ground and sneered.

"Those ungrateful humans are not even as good as me, a mere beast!"

"Don't you feel humiliated?"

Su Yuanshan was silent for a moment and said slowly.

"Although they are ignorant and forgetful, they built this temple for me after all, giving me a place to stay, and they set up this clay statue for me, allowing me to stand in the human world. The so-called 'a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring.' As a local official, my duty is to protect the territory and the people. In my view, your so-called many reasons are just excuses."

"I advise you, it is best to go back and reflect on your own actions, change from evil to good, and cultivate with a focused heart; this is the right path. Otherwise, disaster is right before your eyes!"

Baie Hou laughed and revealed a fierce look.

"Disaster? Who gives the disaster, is it you? You snatched that white ape's demon core from my hand; don't think I don't know. Such conduct is simply shameless to the extreme. I haven't settled this account with you yet!"

"Don't think that just because you are a deity, I, Baie, am afraid of you. You really don't know what's good for you!"

While speaking, Baie Hou rolled on the ground and instantly turned into a huge white tiger. This white tiger was completely different from ordinary tigers; it had a crescent moon mark with a missing corner on its forehead. It raised its head and roared at the temple, the sound shaking the wilderness and the tiger roar spreading in all directions. For a time, demonic Qi soared to the sky outside the entire City God Temple.

The demons also followed to assist, their intimidating roars rising one after another, as if declaring war on Su Yuanshan!

It's over! It's over!

Young Master Su has angered the monsters outside; what should be done?

At this moment, Liu Yiyi's face turned pale, her face full of bitter smiles, and she felt her head a bit dizzy.

The little white fox was also scared enough, its body curled up even tighter, almost shrinking into a ball.

However, Su Yuanshan, who was at the center of the storm, was as steady as Mount Tai. Not only was there no panic, but he narrowed his eyes and scolded in a deep, majestic voice.

"Evil creature!"

"Are you... insulting me?"

Baie Hou seemed to have decided to break with Su Yuanshan, so he sneered.

"So what if I am? You are just a Town City God, what can you do to me? Return my demon core!"
