Chapter 15 The Devil's Way
The early morning light shines on the hillside, and the light mist gradually turns from dark to white. The whole mountain forest is suddenly filled with clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
Crystal clear dewdrops dripped from the leaves and landed right on Chen Jiu's forehead.
When Chen Jiu opened his eyes and saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
The soup stewed by the tiger demon king was indeed very nourishing. In just one night, his energy and blood surged a lot, almost catching up with the amount of ten days or half a month of practice before.
If he continues at this speed, he will probably be able to reach the level of Demon King in less than half a month.
He scanned his Dantian with his consciousness and asked in surprise: "Old Ding, you don't need to sleep?"
This guy was actually still spinning there, slowly absorbing the mist in his dantian.
Honghuang Shending sighed slightly and said, "I used to sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years. I slept too much and don't want to sleep anymore."
You are so awesome, you can kill an immortal with just one sleep!
Chen Jiu jumped down the hillside and laughed, "It's good that you don't want to sleep. Let's go heat up the soup and continue eating."
After saying that, he took out his machete and chopped some firewood. He came to the outer hall where the wolf demon was resting, summoned the Honghuang Divine Cauldron, filled it with firewood, and started burning it fiercely.
This night's practice has cleared away the haze in his heart.
After all, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and now he has already started to impact the realm of demon king. The speed is fast enough.
As for whether he could cultivate to become a god, being impatient was not the solution, he still had plenty of time to figure out a solution.
After a while, the soup was heated up.
I don’t know if the wolf demon was too tired or too full, the strong smell of meat did not wake him up.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu walked over and grabbed his ear and said, "Do you want to eat it or not? If you don't, I will eat it alone."
ah?
The wolf demon immediately jumped up from his den and shouted happily: "Eat it! Why wouldn't I eat something so delicious?"
After saying that, he rushed over, grabbed a bone with meat on it and started chewing it.
This guy is really a foodie. Even when a strong enemy is approaching, he won't wake up so quickly. But when he hears about food, he will jump up like a starving ghost.
Chen Jiu smiled and shook his head, then walked over and started eating and drinking with this guy.
The man and the wolf ate until their stomachs were full and then stopped with satisfaction.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, how is it, when can you break through to the fifth level?"
The wolf demon lay there comfortably and said, "This soup stewed by the tiger demon king is really full of energy and blood. I just slept for one night, and my energy and blood have increased dramatically. I estimate that in four or five days, I will be able to try to break through to the fifth level.
It’s so cool to practice like this, eat, play, sleep, sleep, eat, and you can break through a level in a few days. This speed is something I couldn’t even imagine before.”
Yes, the speed of practicing like this is indeed astonishingly fast.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiu was stunned.
Yes, nothing is faster than robbing. The same goes for cultivation. Devouring and plundering the essence and spirit of others is the fastest way to cultivate. There is no faster way than this!
Unfortunately, this is the devil’s way.
People who follow the evil path are hated by everyone and are hunted down everywhere.
In fact, it’s not that people who practice the devil’s way cannot become gods, but that they won’t live to see the day when they become gods.
There is no way. Devouring and plundering the spirit of others will incur public wrath. Other cultivators will definitely try their best to kill those who practice the evil way.
However, he is different from others.
Because he had offended the Wang family of Langya and the underworld of Jimo, and the fact that he possessed divine-level skills had obviously been discovered by others.
In other words, even if he did not practice the magic way, the Wang family of Langya and the underworld of Jimo would not let him go.
Behind the Wang family of Langya is the Imperial Court, and behind the Jimo Yinsi is the Northern Yinsi. As long as he does not hand over his god-level skills, he will definitely face endless pursuit.
Even if he handed over his god-level skills, he would still die. No one would let him live in this world. He would even lose the chance to be reincarnated!
So what is there to hesitate about?
If you don't give me a way to live, I will swallow you up and practice martial arts!
The devil's path is the devil's path, you forced me to take this path!
Thinking of this, Chen Jiu kicked the wolf demon on the butt and urged him, "Get up and practice the Tiger Demon Fist with me. This will help digestion and allow you to advance soon."
There is no way. The Wang family of Langya probably has masters at the earth immortal level, and the Beiyinsi has more than one masters at the ghost immortal level. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that they have more than 40,000 hands.
He needs to find more helpers, or train more helpers.
The second wolf demon king is the first one.
This guy is a little stupid and lazy, but he is very loyal. He is worth training because he is willing to risk his life.
The wolf demon Wang Er was really used to being lazy. He would only practice "Xiaotian Jue" after he had eaten, drunk and slept enough. He could hardly practice it a few times a month. He could hardly practice "Tiger Demon Divine Fist" even a few times a year.
Now he fell into the hands of the extremely diligent Chen Jiu, and he was really in trouble.
There is no way. If he doesn’t follow others to practice, they won’t let him eat meat or drink soup!
He could tolerate everything else. Even if Chen Jiu caught him and beat him up, it probably wouldn't be of much use. But he couldn't tolerate this.
The tiger demon king is stewing soup. If you don’t allow people to eat this, it’s better for him to die!
The pressure from Chen Jiu actually brought out his potential. He broke through the fifth level in three days. After drinking a pot of tiger demon king stew, he estimated that he could break through to the sixth level!
Chen Jiu and the wolf demon are both practicing diligently, so what are the Langya Wang family and Jimo Yinsi doing?
Early in the morning of that day, the county magistrate Wang Xiangchun, along with Gongsun Xia and Xu Ning, rode out of the county and headed straight for Shili Pavilion in the north of the city.
Chen Jiu really screwed him over that time. Almost all of his spiritual officials and clerks were wiped out. Only Gongsun Xia and Xu Ning, who were recuperating at home, were still alive!
He had no choice but to ask Yidu for help. Otherwise, he wouldn't even dare to go to the new area, let alone search for Chen Jiu.
This time he cannot enjoy all the credit for this great achievement, and he doesn't know what kind of people Yidu will send to help him.
At the Ten-Li Pavilion, Wang Xiangchun was stunned by the huge team riding towards him.
There are probably hundreds of people here?
And everyone was wearing khaki robes.
These were all direct descendants of the Wang family of Langya who had trained many experts. Some of them were even better than him!
He took another closer look at the middle-aged man in the fiery red official robe leading the group, and hurriedly led Gongsun Xia and Xu Ning out of the pavilion. Standing by the road, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Tongzhi."
Wang Xiangkun, the co-magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture, did not even dismount. He sat on his horse and said seriously, "Xiao Chunzi, what happened to you? Why did you get beaten so badly by a mountain hunter?"
Can you please not call me Xiao Chunzi in front of so many people?
There's no way. He's the eldest son in the family, and ranked second, second only to the prefect Wang Xianggan. The children he raised in the third room are nothing in his eyes!
Wang Xiangchun bowed helplessly and said, "Sir, it's not that boy who is powerful, it's that the tree demon in the Yin-Yang world is too powerful. That tree demon is much more powerful than ordinary demon kings and ghost kings. It has thousands of invulnerable giant bats under its command. We can't defeat it at all."
It’s just a tree demon, what’s so great about it?
Wang Xiangqian said disdainfully: "Where is the tree demon? Take me there to see it later."
You are looking for death!
Wang Xiangchun said carefully: "Sir, I dare to say that we should not provoke the tree monster. City God Xu Gongfu has several magic weapons specially used to deal with ghosts and monsters, but in the end, he was no match for the siege of more than ten giant bats.
We didn't even get close to the tree demon's body, and those giant bats almost killed me and Xu Chenghuang."
Is it that awesome?
Then just pretend I didn’t say anything!
Wang Xiangkun frowned and asked, "Are you sure that the technique that Chen Jiu is practicing is what we are looking for?"
The four words "divine-level skills" were never mentioned by the county magistrate Wang Xiangchun or the city god Xu Gongfu in front of outsiders.
If this news gets out, it won't just be the Wang family of Langya and the Xu family of the underworld fighting over it. Who knows how many aristocratic families and forces from the underworld will come rushing in to snatch it.
Wang Xiangchun thought about it and said cautiously, "Sir, I dare not ask you to go to the county government office and discuss it carefully."
Hearing this, Wang Xiangkun said impatiently, "Then hurry up and lead the way."
At this time, outside the Jimo Yinsi Yamen in the underworld, the City God Xu Gongfu also welcomed a group of Yinsi soldiers under the command of the Xu family. Leading them was the Xu family's Ghost King Xu Weizhong, who also had hundreds of ghost generals under his command.
Although Xu Gongfu's golden statue was fifty or six feet tall and looked quite majestic, he stepped forward like a child and said respectfully, "Uncle, I am an unfilial grandson. I am sorry to trouble you."
Xu Weizhong shook his head slightly and said, "It's not that troublesome. His Majesty just summoned people to investigate the situation, and I took this task. This time I am here on official business.
But I have to say a few words to you about this matter. Gong Fu, you are already an adult, why are you still acting so recklessly?
You didn't tell your family about such an important matter, and now you have suffered heavy casualties, and the gods in the City God's Mansion are almost all killed."
Well, I am indeed not young anymore. I am over 500 years old, and you really treat me like a child and teach me a lesson!
Xu Gongfu was quite embarrassed and said: "Uncle, this matter is a long story, let's go in and discuss it."
