Chapter 288: Enlighten the Dog Demon and Bet on the Treasure Seal
After the fierce battle, there was a dead silence all around. The land within a radius of hundreds of feet was reduced to scorched earth, with potholes everywhere. If ordinary people saw it, they would probably think that a meteorite had fallen here.
Li Daoxuan put away his armor and weapons and changed back into the green Taoist robe. Under the moonlight, he looked particularly handsome and elegant, without any trace of the murderous aura he had before.
He walked to Zhang Tiande and took off the talisman.
Zhang Tiande had recovered from the illusion by now. He looked at Li Daoxuan with gritted teeth and said, "Li Daoxuan, your death is coming soon!"
Li Daoxuan shook his head and laughed, "You are about to die, and you are still being stubborn?"
Zhang Tiande snorted coldly. He was not actually scared. Instead, he seemed very confident, as if he was sure that Li Daoxuan would not dare to kill him.
"Li Daoxuan, just before, I secretly crushed the token my father gave me. He must have realized that I was in danger. With his magical powers, he should be here soon!"
This is Zhang Tiande’s greatest confidence. Zhang Jiuxiao’s true body is about to arrive. If Li Daoxuan wants to survive, he can only take him as a hostage and absolutely dare not kill him.
At this moment, a figure seemed to flash in the woods in the distance.
Zhang Tiande was overjoyed and shouted, "Dad, I'm here!"
The ghost baby suddenly became nervous, and its black eyes kept looking around.
But after a moment, what appeared in front of everyone was not Zhang Jiuxiao's real body, but a dirty wild dog with a small bell in its mouth, walking towards Li Daoxuan.
The ghost baby looked at the bell with a hint of fear in his eyes.
That bell was the soul-catching bell that could control him.
The wild dog walked towards Li Daoxuan, put the bell in his hand, and then barked twice at Zhang Tiande in a very smart manner.
Li Daoxuan laughed loudly and said, "If Master Uncle knew that you called a stray dog dad, I wonder what he would think?"
He had fought with Zhang Tiande before and cut off his right arm with the White Dragon Sword, and the Soul-Catching Bell fell to the ground.
Later, Li Daoxuan was busy chasing and forgot to pick it up. He used the Bai Ze Mantra to call a wild dog on the road and ordered it to help find it.
The wild dog stuck out its tongue at Li Daoxuan and wagged its tail happily.
It seemed to have been wandering for a long time, with wounds all over its body, some of which were oozing pus. It was very painful for it to walk, but it still did its job conscientiously in response to Li Daoxuan's instructions.
Li Daoxuan touched its head and threw it a elixir.
This was the reward he had received from the "Book of Exorcising Demons" before, called the Demon-Pointing Pill. Not only was it of no benefit to people after eating it, but it would also make them go crazy and become like wild beasts, as if they had lost their wisdom.
But if an animal eats it, it will be able to awaken its spiritual intelligence, inhale and exhale the moonlight, and embark on the path of spiritual practice from then on.
The Demon-Calling Pill, as the name suggests, is a pill that is specifically designed to transform demons.
Li Daoxuan still has several of these pills in his hand, but he never uses them on a daily basis. He has also thought about whether he can enlighten the monster and then kill it to get the reward.
But firstly, the monsters practiced too slowly, and secondly, this move was a little unfair.
Seeing that the wild dog was so docile today, Li Daoxuan fed it one grain.
After the wild dog swallowed some magic pills, its eyes lit up slightly, the wounds on its body healed quickly, and its hair became shiny again. Most importantly, its eyes became full of spirituality and gratitude towards Li Daoxuan.
Its two front legs were bent, and it knelt down and kowtowed to Li Daoxuan like a human.
Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "I hate to owe favors to others. If you help me pick up the bells, I will give you the elixir, and we are even now."
The wild dog barked, saluted with its hands, and had a pleading look in its eyes.
It wants to follow Li Daoxuan.
But Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "I have something important to do and I don't have time to take you with me. If you really want to stay with me, then do more good deeds, punish evildoers and eliminate evil. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will meet again."
After a pause, he stared at the wild dog. There seemed to be a storm of thunder in his eyes, which frightened the wild dog so much that its hair stood on end and it whimpered for mercy.
"If I ever hear that you eat humans and commit evil, I will peel off your skin and tear your tendons apart, and grind your bones to dust!"
Li Daoxuan's voice was like thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.
The wild dog was trembling with fear. It nodded repeatedly at Li Daoxuan, and then left, looking back every few steps.
Li Daoxuan retracted his gaze. His words just now were meant to deter the wild dog. After all, it was the monster he had enlightened. If it did evil in the future, he would also be contaminated by the cause and effect.
Of course, the enlightenment of the dog demon was just an unexpected episode. In fact, Li Daoxuan did not think it would amount to anything.
After all, it only has spiritual intelligence, and can at most absorb and exhale moonlight to cultivate slowly. It will take hundreds of years of hardship before it can barely transform. It has not yet learned any magical powers or magic. If it encounters a Taoist priest who exorcises demons, it will most likely be doomed.
Li Daoxuan continued to look at Zhang Tiande and found that the other party's face had become very bad.
"Why, you don't want to call me dad anymore?"
"It's been so long, why hasn't Master Uncle come to save you?"
Li Daoxuan sighed: "Do you really think that Master Uncle will come tonight?"
…
Half an hour ago.
Longhu Mountain, Yunxiao Palace.
Zhang Jiuxiao sat cross-legged on a cushion, breathing in and out lightning and practicing the "Five Thunders Nourishing Essence Technique".
Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, his long hair fluttered, lightning flashed, and with a roar, he appeared in front of the door in an instant.
The son crushed the token, which meant he was in danger.
Zhang Jiuxiao opened the door and prepared to fly away using his Thunder Escape ability, but as soon as he opened the door, he was stunned and frowned.
In the courtyard outside the Yunxiao Palace, Zhang Qianyang was holding a chessboard and looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Big Brother, we haven't played a game of chess for a long time. The night is perfect tonight, come and play a round with me!"
Zhang Qianyang said excitedly.
Zhang Jiuxiao said coldly: "Why, you are willing to leave Master's residence tonight, aren't you afraid that I will take the opportunity to harm Master?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice. These days, Zhang Qianyang had been almost always staying by the old Taoist priest's side and rarely came out. Suddenly asking him to play chess must be a trick.
Zhang Qianyang laughed loudly and said, "Big Brother, I would never suspect you, but I have been bored in the room for too long, so I want to play a game of chess. Come on, come on!"
Zhang Jiuxiao said calmly: "I have other things to do, you can go find someone else to go down."
After saying this, lightning flashed around him and he was about to break through the air and fly away.
However, Zhang Qianyang's words made him stop.
"Big Brother, if the bet is this, are you interested in playing a round with me?"
A jade seal appeared on the chessboard, as white as ice and snow, emitting fairy light.
There was a hint of heat in Zhang Jiuxiao's eyes. It turned out to be the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin!
This was the seal he had always dreamed of. Getting it would mean that he would be the legitimate successor to the Heavenly Master. Once his master died, no one in the entire Longhu Mountain would be able to raise any objections.
Many people opposed him before, and the most common reason they said was that he did not have the Yangping Zhidu seal.
If he could obtain this seal, coupled with his status as the eldest son, the position of Heavenly Master would be within his grasp!
"Are you really willing to gamble with it?"
Zhang Qianyang smiled and said, "If I lose, you can take this thing."
Zhang Jiuxiao's eyes flickered, and he was stuck in a decision.
Is it more important to save his son or to become the Heavenly Master?
