Chapter 22 – A spark could set off a massive fire


Listening to the eerie voice that echoed through the night sky.

 

The Li Shui King smacked his dry lips and murmured, "Demons, they really are demons…"

 

The officials' faces turned pale, and they urgently exclaimed, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"

 

"With so many citizens gathered, isn't this exactly what the demons want…"

 

"Look at the rolling black fog, there must be a lot of demons. Forget the citizens, even our own lives are in danger…"

 

"……"

 

Suddenly, the Li Shui King grabbed Andrew Chen and urgently said, "Andrew! Quickly, summon the Immortal! Didn't you say the demons were all slaughtered by the Immortal before? Hurry!"

 

The Li Shui King's hand, clutching Andrew Chen's sleeve, was deathly pale, showing his desperation!

 

Andrew Chen looked troubled and said, "Your Majesty, it's true that the demons were previously slaughtered by the Master, but… whether the Master will act this time, I have no authority to interfere!"

 

During this period, he had come to understand Ambrose Lu's temperament quite well.

 

He was someone who acted entirely on his own whims!

 

He wasn't the kind of Immortal who saw it as his duty to rid the world of demons…

 

Moreover, he had already asked once before. Asking again… and the Master was living in his mansion because he had begged him to stay…

 

Upon hearing this, the Li Shui King's expression changed unpredictably, but seeing the chaos outside the town, he could no longer hold back and was about to leave the town wall, angrily saying, "Fine! If you won't ask, then I will!"

 

Seeing this, Andrew Chen felt a pang of discomfort in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and followed, "Your Majesty, I will accompany you!"

 

But just then!

 

A sword light shot up into the sky, illuminating the night!

 

"You demons are really something! Invading the empire under the jurisdiction of the Cyan Cloud Sect, have you forgotten the pact of the Three Realms?!"

 

The resounding words echoed far and wide!

 

The town fell silent, and the citizens stared dumbfounded at the figure suspended in the air on a sword.

 

An Immortal? There really is an Immortal!!

 

"An Immortal, this is definitely an Immortal! Damn it, I told you my ancestors had seen an Immortal and you didn't believe me! Have you ever seen a mortal who could fly?!"

 

The citizens were in an uproar, looking up in awe at the figure on the sword!

 

Could it be that they were saved today?

 

A living Immortal had appeared before their eyes!

 

………

 

On the town wall.

 

The Li Shui King and the others were shocked as they looked up. At this critical moment, an Immortal from the Cyan Cloud Sect had finally arrived!

 

"This is my Master, the Immortal Gu of the Cyan Cloud Sect."

 

At this moment, Christopher Tong approached the Li Shui King and the others, looking up at the figure on the sword and speaking calmly.

 

He had somehow arrived at the town wall as well.

 

"Greetings, Immortal!"

 

The Li Shui King and the officials, after a moment of astonishment, hurriedly bowed!

 

Andrew Chen also bowed deeply.

 

"Don't worry, with my Master here, these demons won't cause much trouble."

 

Christopher Tong crossed his arms and said solemnly.

 

Hearing this, the Li Shui King and the others breathed a sigh of relief and bowed in thanks, "We are in your debt."

 

Christopher Tong said no more, watching the figure on the sword with anticipation.

 

It had been a long time since he had seen his Master take action.

 

………

 

In the sky, the dense black fog suddenly revealed dozens of Black Tongue Demons, confronting Mark Gu from a distance.

 

Leading them were five Black Tongue Demons, much larger in size.

 

"Heh, I wondered which Golden Elixir cultivator it was, turns out it's the famous Immortal Gu of the Cyan Cloud Sect. I've heard a lot about you…"

 

The Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader in the middle floated forward slowly, staring at Mark Gu with a cold smile.

 

But deep in his eyes, there was a hint of seriousness. Decades ago, Mark Gu was already at the late Golden Elixir stage. Could he now be at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage?

 

"You've heard of me, but I don't know you," Mark Gu said expressionlessly, "Enough talk. Tell me, is the Demon Realm planning to go to war with our Spirit Dust Cultivation Realm?"

 

The Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader's smile was cold and insincere, "Immortal Gu, you're overthinking it. The Demon Realm would never go to war with the Cultivation Realm. This is purely the Black Tongue Demon Clan acting on its own."

 

Mark Gu glanced at the four figures beside the Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader, and his heart trembled slightly!

 

Level Five Demons! Four Level Five Demons equivalent to early Golden Elixir stage!

 

Plus the Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader, a Level Seven Demon comparable to the late Golden Elixir stage…

 

Mark Gu's heart was filled with gravity!

 

Even facing these five alone, his chances of victory were uncertain, not to mention the dozens of Level Two Black Tongue Demons.

 

"Acting on your own? Your actions seem quite targeted…"

 

Mark Gu steadied his mind and mocked.

 

The Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader's face changed slightly, then he licked his lips with his long black tongue and laughed sinisterly, "Tonight, I want to see if the renowned Immortal Gu can stop us… Kill!"

 

Immediately, the Black Tongue Demons behind him became agitated, their long tongues lashing as they descended, thirsty for blood!

 

As for Mark Gu, they knew he would be dealt with by their Clan Leader.

 

Seeing this, Mark Gu's eyes narrowed, and he flipped his palm, revealing a formation disk!

 

In the next moment, he decisively threw it towards the descending Black Tongue Demons!

 

The formation disk turned into a faint stream of light, flying incredibly fast, quickly approaching the dozens of Black Tongue Demons.

 

With a "bang," the formation disk exploded, and countless glowing threads instantly wove into a large spherical barrier, easily trapping the dozens of Black Tongue Demons inside!

 

At this moment, the Black Tongue Demons trapped in the formation saw their surroundings change drastically, as if they were in a complex maze!

 

No matter how they moved, they couldn't escape the "maze."

 

They became agitated!

 

Meanwhile, everyone below looked up in shock at the floating light sphere!

 

They had seen with their own eyes how the dozens of demons were easily trapped by the light sphere!

 

The methods of an Immortal were truly mysterious and awe-inspiring.

 

……….

 

"Impressive, Immortal Gu. Even a Level Four trapping formation that early Golden Elixir cultivators struggle to break, you use it so casually against mere Level Two demons. Quite extravagant…"

 

The Black Tongue Demon Clan Leader glanced at the large light sphere below, squinting his eyes and laughing coldly.

 

Mark Gu glanced at the light sphere, feeling the urgency. This Level Four trapping formation also had a time limit. If he couldn't kill the five Black Tongue Demons before the time limit…

 

"No more words, tonight I will take your lives!"

 

Mark Gu finished speaking, quickly forming hand seals, his fingers weaving strands of soft light, quite mystical. At the same time, his Golden Elixir trembled within, and a surge of spiritual energy rose!

 

Boom!

 

The pressure of a peak Golden Elixir stage cultivator poured down from the sky!

 

Everyone on the ground turned pale, not knowing what was happening, only feeling the air grow thin and suffocating.

 

Christopher Tong saw this and shook his head with a smile.

 

If not for being in the sky, if not for his Master deliberately suppressing the Golden Elixir pressure, these citizens would be in even more pain.

 

Soon, he looked up again with a serious expression, a hint of worry in his eyes.

 

His Master was indeed strong, but those Black Tongue Demons were not easy opponents either!
