Chapter 409

Fan Fan Tian Shi's arrival today was not a whim.

He had long known about the Wang Mu of the West's power—

He stayed in the capital; the people in the capital might not know the battle situation of the four counties of Mount Mo Du, but he had been paying attention to the information there, and even had communication with Ziyun County and Jiguang County; he knew that it was a yaoguai that the two True Lords couldn't capture after descending to the mortal realm for several months, and it was a yaoguai king that the True Lords also had to borrow the thunder power of heaven to deal with.

Staying in the capital, he already felt guilty.

That was his hometown.

The people in the capital were ignorant and often discussed it, and most of them were just purely curious, which was easy to deal with; even if some people had malicious speculation and questioning, why didn't Fan Fan Tian Shi go, it wouldn't reach his ears.

But the civil and military officials in the court would ask him, and the strange people and talented scholars in the Juxian Mansion who stayed in the capital and didn't dare to go out to eliminate yaoguai would also ask him; these were not so easy to deal with.

Why always stay in the capital?

Why is that the hometown of the Celestial Master, but the Celestial Master sits and watches it being ravaged by yaoguai, and lets others deal with it?

Why did Lin Zhenren go to the northeast, the Southern Celestial Master also went to the northeast, the Daoist of Zhenjian Palace went to the northeast, and even Daoist Yushan went to the northeast, but Fan Fan Tian Shi was born there, yet he had the nerve to stay in the capital?

The battle situation there is deadlocked, why doesn't Fan Fan Tian Shi go to help?

Why was Fan Fan Tian Shi, who was angry after drinking and went to the Wei River alone, now as immovable as a mountain?

Some were curious, some were questioning, and some were instigating.

Fan Fan Tian Shi often couldn't open his mouth and found it difficult to answer.

Even if he dealt with others, it was difficult to pass his own test.

That was his hometown.

By the end of summer, the weather had been stuffy for several days, accumulating this annual thunderstorm; with his intelligence, how could he not calculate it? Today, wind and rain came, and muffled thunder exploded; it was clearly the release of heaven's power, so how could he not know that this was the time for the True Lords' general attack?

There was a yaoguai in the capital that was good at divination.

Fan Fan Tian Shi had heard of it before and tried to deal with it, but it was upright by nature and seemed to know his background, so it had always been disdainful of him, neither exposing him nor ignoring him.

Today he was wavering in his heart and went to ask for advice.

The yaoguai, however, rarely changed its attitude, and was more respectful and friendly to him, treating him with courtesy.

Fan Fan Tian Shi then knew—

He was going to Jiguang County.

The yaoguai was good at divination and prediction, knew the situation in Jiguang County at this time, knew what he came to ask it, and also knew what decision he would make, so it was like this.

Then there was no need to open his mouth to ask anymore.

The yaoguai had already told him the answer in advance.

After drinking a cup of hot tea and standing up to salute it, Fan Fan Tian Shi came here.

Therefore, saying that it was like the last time with the Tuo Dragon King, being set up and instigated by others, was not entirely correct.

Arriving here at this time, seeing the towering ancient tree shatter the god general's body with one strike, sweep away thousands of celestial soldiers with one whip, and collapse the Jiguang city wall with one sweep of its branches, while demons and ghosts swarmed in, and the strange people and talented scholars and generals and soldiers on the city wall resisted with all their might but to no avail, he knew—

It was correct for him to come here.

This correctness did not mean that if he came here, he could save Jiguang County, but that if he didn't come here and watched the Southern Celestial Master and the strange people and talented scholars of the Juxian Mansion come to his hometown and die in battle here because of guarding his hometown, and all the fellow villagers in the city were swallowed by yaoguai, he would not be able to face himself for the rest of his life, and the so-called Fan Fan Tian Shi would become a joke.

How to choose between peace of mind and peace of body?

This was not the first time he had made this choice.

It wasn't even the second time.

Who doesn't have an immortal dream of eliminating demons?

"Yaoguai!!"

Fan Fan Tian Shi opened his eyes wide and shouted.

At this time, there was a simple altar in front of him, on which was placed a god statue that could not be seen clearly due to the years and frost, an incense burner, two pairs of red candles, three incense sticks, and some offerings; besides that, there were only a few yaoguai who followed him and couldn't be persuaded to leave, protecting him by his side.

Coming here today, although he had the ambition to die, he was also willing to fight.

Fan Fan Tian Shi knew that he had nothing to fight with, only one thing, and that was the god statue that could not be seen clearly that he met when he was traveling in the northwest of Qinzhou and staying in a broken temple in the mountains.

This god had once eliminated yaoguai for him.

It was also unclear whether it was for him or just a casual act.

But its power was unquestionable.

This god statue had been around for too long; even though Fan Fan Tian Shi had been worshiping it ever since, he still didn't know its name, only knowing that it should belong to some Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Martial Yili Shenjun in the sky.

The Wang Mu of the West in the distance was still destroying the city, and the yaoguai were still slaughtering people; Fan Fan Tian Shi didn't dare to delay, just lit the incense and began to shout:

"Husheng Husheng Zhenjun Yili Shenjun is above! Disciple Fan Yuchen, courtesy name Chuying, a person from Jiguang County, Qinzhou, is now outside Jiguang City; at this time, the yaoguai king Wang Mu of the West on Mount Mo Du is about to destroy the city and swallow people to increase her cultivation; please show yourself and descend to the mortal realm to eliminate the yaoguai! Please show yourself and descend to the mortal realm to eliminate the yaoguai!"

After the first sentence was shouted, the Wang Mu of the West seemed to notice him.

The ancient longevity tree that had taken root outside the city in the distance turned its head and looked at him kindly.

However, she was at a distance from this place; even though her body was incomparably huge, it was difficult for her to stretch her hand over; it seemed that she felt he was not worth worrying about, and also felt that this mortal was not worth her taking steps, so she just took a look and withdrew her gaze, held the tree branches high, and continued to beat the city wall.

"Boom!"

A thunder exploded, and lightning appeared.

That tree branch directly started from the tile roof of the arrow tower at the city gate, and directly smashed the entire arrow tower along with the four-zhang-high city wall into the ground.

And the god statue in front was still motionless.

Fan Fan Tian Shi was not surprised and continued to shout quickly:

"Jiguang is about to break the city, tens of thousands of people in the city, thousands of strong men and righteous men, are about to become blood food in the mouths of yaoguai, please show yourself and descend to the mortal realm to eliminate the yaoguai!"

"Fan, Fan Fan Tian Shi! Yaoguai are rushing over!"

"This yaoguai is incomparably arrogant, despising the gods, please show yourself and descend to the mortal realm to eliminate the yaoguai!" Fan Fan Tian Shi aimed at a group of yaoguai rushing from afar, not lacking great yaoguai, but he didn't move at all, and his mouth didn't stop, "If the Yili Shenjun is willing to descend to the mortal realm to eliminate the yaoguai this time, the disciple will definitely build a hundred temples for the Yili Shenjun! Definitely throw away everything in the capital, travel for the Yili Shenjun in person, preach and teach, and gather the incense of the world!"

The god statue remained unmoved, leaving only the green smoke drifting naturally.

Thunder exploded in the sky, and the yaoguai approached crazily.

"Since you were willing to eliminate yaoguai in the northwest of Qinzhou, why are you unwilling today? Could it be that the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun can watch the demons run rampant and the living people in dire straits?"

Fan Fan Tian Shi's eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were also bleeding.

"Fan Fan Tian Shi! Those yaoguai are close!"

Hundreds of yaoguai attacked from afar, the first being a giant bear, crouching and running wildly, like the momentum of a mountain collapse.

There were huge hawks and falcons in the sky, and many yaoguai, jackals, dogs, leopards, pigs, horses, oxen, sheep, snakes, insects, rats, cats, and at least rare pangolins and hedgehogs, everything, each one incomparably fierce.

"The disciple burns incense and worships sincerely every day, knowing that the god statue has spirit, and the Yili Shenjun will definitely be able to hear it! Please descend to the mortal realm to help!"

"Fan Fan Tian Shi..."

"Could it be that the Yili Shenjun is afraid of her? Since meeting in the northwest, in ten years, the disciple has burned incense and worshiped sincerely every day, cleaning the god statue, could it be that the Yili Shenjun cannot look at this fate and friendship and take action to help once again!?"

"Fan Tian Shi! We are going!"

A mountain monster suddenly became bigger and met the giant bear.

An old ghost turned into its original form and rushed into the sky.

Several yaoguai showed their magical powers and went up to fight the enemy.

But facing the aggressive yaoguai soldiers and generals on the opposite side, they were far apart in both number and cultivation.

"Fan begs the Yili Shenjun to descend to the mortal realm to help!"

The golden eagle in the sky shot golden light, almost scattering the old ghost.

"Yaoguai eat people; if the Yili Shenjun is unwilling to help, then the Yili Shenjun is not worthy of being a god! The disciple's sincere worship over the years will be in vain, and all respect will be in vain!"

The giant bear rushed and collided, directly knocking the mountain monster away.

"Then I will smash this god statue of yours!!"

Fan Fan Tian Shi, like the Southern Celestial Master, raised an iron hammer.

But the god statue remained unmoved.

Fan Fan Tian Shi raised the iron hammer high, but in the end, it was difficult to hammer down.

This Husheng Husheng Zhenjun had once saved his life and also created the human myth of "Fan Fan Tian Shi".

"Today I have brought the god statue here; if the Yili Shenjun does not take action, the god statue will be destroyed in the hands of these yaoguai! The Yili Shenjun has great magical powers, boundless magic power, and majesty that cannot be offended; can you endure your god statue being damaged in the hands of these yaoguai?"

Those yaoguai had already reached his side.

Wolf yaoguai holding big knives, leopards like wind, snake yaoguai with human upper bodies and snake tails, black oxen standing like humans holding iron hammers, giant deer two or three zhang tall, yakshas, mountain demons, corpse demons, and charming women, monkey yaoguai with arms longer than people...

Hundreds in number, each one with soaring evil energy.

Those yaoguai that rushed up to protect him had already been submerged.

The snake yaoguai held a fan in its hand, waved black smoke, and attacked from the left; the black ox directly threw the iron hammer in its hand and smashed it from the right.

Below, the wolf yaoguai and the leopard walked side by side; one rushed fiercely like the wind, its eyes locked tightly on Fan Fan Tian Shi's throat, and one held a big knife; before its figure was close, the momentum of the slash had already formed, and it slashed toward his head.

There were even more yaoguai following closely behind.

In front of Fan Fan Tian Shi, there was only this simple altar.

I don't know if the black smoke would knock over the altar first, or kill the Daoist first; I don't know if the iron hammer would smash the god statue first, or smash Fan Fan Tian Shi first; and I don't know if the wolf yaoguai's big knife would chop the god statue's head first, or chop this bold Daoist who was not afraid of death first; many pairs of eyes were staring at him.

There were yaoguai coming to take his life, and there were yaoguai who followed him from the capital when they heard he came to the northeast, but refused to leave and wanted to protect him.

There were also strange people and talented scholars on the distant city wall who noticed the movement here.

Just suddenly, everything was silent.

The black smoke dissipated into nothingness, and the iron hammer stopped in the air.

The leopard did not move forward, and the wolf yaoguai's big knife also stopped a few inches above the altar and Fan Fan Tian Shi's head.

Even the hawk and falcon were fixed in the air.

Everything was like a painting, frozen.

But Fan Fan Tian Shi clearly saw, and those yaoguai who came to protect him could also see clearly, that the yaoguai's eyes were condensing great terror at an extremely slow speed.

And the Wang Mu of the West in the distance was destroying the city with her branches, but suddenly stopped halfway and turned her head to look over.

The next moment, a burst of divine power stirred.

"Boom..."

Accompanied by thunder and lightning, these yaoguai, along with their weapons and magic tools, all turned into powder and vanished into smoke and clouds.

A figure holding a sword appeared in the sky.
