#280 - Next step, Jiangjiaji, start by killing the pheasant spirit!
“Traitorous scum!”
“Don't even think about escaping!”
Seeing this, Zhang Wan reined in her horse, raised her broadsword, and swung it down, chasing after them with a loud shout.
“Awoo!”
“Run!”
“King! Save us!”

The bandits, who had long been ready, had no discipline whatsoever. As soon as they saw their leader running away, they howled and scattered in all directions.
“Everyone, follow me and give chase!”
Song Fangwu and the others followed with their weapons.
They couldn't let these bandits scatter and escape.
“Immortal Master, we're going too!”
A clear, girlish voice rang out, and two figures flew out of the shrine.
Whoosh—
…
“Die!”
The Little Black King's horse ran very fast.
Especially when he saw two golden-glowing divine generals chasing after them, he desperately whipped the horse. As a result, Zhang Wan was actually left behind for a moment.
She gritted her silver teeth and raised the broadsword in her hand.
Then, she threw it out fiercely.
“Big Brother!” A bandit behind the Little Black King was about to say something when he suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind him. He turned his head and saw a silver blade flying towards him at high speed.
“Ah—!” As he turned his head, the blade struck him right in the neck.
Pfft!
His head fell to the ground.
Blood spurted out, splattering everywhere.
Whoosh—
The broadsword bounced up and flew into the air.
“Ouch? Who! Dares to plot against this venerable one!” A black goat happened to be flying towards it. Seeing that it was about to collide, it jumped up and stomped down with its hoof.
Just by chance.
The broadsword was kicked downwards and backwards by it, and it just so happened to fall towards the top of the Little Black King's head.
“Hmm?”
The Little Black King heard the noise and looked up.
The blade's edge had arrived.
Pfft!
The broadsword, weighing more than ten pounds, fell from above.
It struck him right in the face.
It penetrated deep into his skull, and he couldn't survive.
However, the horse was still dragging him forward until the corpse tumbled from its back.
Thump!
“……”
“……”
“Why did you run back?” he asked.
After seeing the Little Black King and the others, he, Da Hei, and Xu Xiaobai, along with Great Sage and Little Sage Ma Chengfeng, had gone to the bandits' lair to loot it.
That place was dozens of miles away from here. Xu Chengxian's clone had limited cultivation and couldn't withstand a huge divine sense, so there was no way to sense the progress there.
Now that only Da Hei had returned, of course he had to ask.
“We caught the Black Flood Dragon, bah!” Da Hei said, spitting first, “Damn it, a black snake spirit with a seventh-order cultivation dared to call itself a Black Flood Dragon!”
In this Eastern Land human realm, whether it's humans or demons, their tone is so big that it seems like one mouth can suffocate people!
“It's best to get used to the devaluation of honorifics. What happened to the snake spirit?” Xu Chengxian asked.
“We caught it,” Da Hei continued, “Xiaobai asked you if she could eat it. She wants to try the barbecue you mentioned.”
“Eat it, remember to bring some back for me to taste,” Xu Chengxian waved his hand and said, “By the way, see if there are any snake sloughs in the nest.”
“With that little snake's cultivation, what's the use of its snake slough? I'd despise it even if I used it to pad my feet!”
“Take it back and sell it to the mortals.”
No matter what, it was still a demon's snake slough.
Selling it to mortals would definitely be worth some money.
“Remember to have Great Sage take a good look, not just at the spiritual plants, but also at the ordinary medicinal herbs. Anyway, bring back everything that's useful.”
Exchange ordinary gold and silver for grain, and then 'buy' the people's incense power.
It was very cost-effective.
What's more, it was all plundered.
Getting something for nothing, awesome!
“Got it, got it,” Da Hei jumped impatiently and confirmed, “You mean, you don't need to bring it back for interrogation, right?”
“Yes, no need to bring it back,” Xu Chengxian said.
If he brought it back for questioning and it exploded again, making the ground full of fishy smell, he would have to clean the floor.
Troublesome.
“Don't you need to ask who's behind the scenes?”
“I'm too lazy to ask.” Anyway, he had already guessed the general idea. Just seeing how quickly the Little Black King had come, he knew that the mastermind would come to his door sooner or later.
And if the plan went smoothly, by then, they would already be existences that the other party wouldn't dare to easily provoke.
So there was no need to waste his brain on this.
“Alright,” Da Hei nodded and turned to run to the Zhang family.
“What are you doing?”
“This venerable one is going to check the Zhang family's kitchen to see if there are any spices!”
When Xu Chengxian heard this, good heavens, it really wanted to make kebabs.
He hadn't eaten barbecue with cumin and chili powder for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little greedy.
“I hope Xiaobai can be a filial daughter and bring some back for her father.”
“Immortal Master.”
At this time, Zhang Wan and Song Fangwu came over.
One was handing over the command token, and the other was reporting that the bandits had scattered, and some hadn't been captured.
Should they continue to chase?
“Chase, capture them all,” Xu Chengxian said, “Don't let a single one slip through.”
These guys were all villains.
After they ran away, they would either gather again or join other bandits. Anyway, they would continue to become bandits and robbers.
These people followed the Little Black King out of the lair, and each of them could run and kill, so it could be seen that they were all backbone members of the mountain stronghold who lived well by robbing.
It was difficult for bandits who were used to doing evil to return to a good life.
Especially a poor and ordinary life.
There were always some people who wanted to enjoy wealth and honor by doing evil.
This was something that Xu Chengxian, who was a law-abiding citizen in his previous life, didn't like very much.
“I don't care about those who have killed people, you can handle it as you see fit,” he said, “Those who haven't killed people and have fewer sins on their bodies, capture them and send them to labor camps. Let them cultivate land, build roads, and build granaries. Anyway, don't let them be idle. As for food, just make sure they don't starve to death.”
Then he told Da Hei, who was scavenging spices in the kitchen, not to forget to set fire to the Black Flood Dragon's stronghold when he came back.
It was best to burn it clean, without leaving any traces of bandits.
Otherwise, there would still be bandits gathering there.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Wan and Song Fangwu understood.
…
“Big Cub.”
“The incense power is growing very fast!”
The next day, Bai Xiaocui said to Xu Chengxian.
After the Black Flood Dragon's stronghold was destroyed, the number of people burning incense in the White Maiden Temple increased a lot.
The divine power brought by the incense power naturally increased quickly.
“Yeah, but it's not enough yet,” Xu Chengxian said.
“Not enough?” Bai Xiaocui asked in confusion.
“Not enough,” Xu Chengxian shook his head.
“We can't stay here forever,” Xu Chengxian said, “It won't work without anyone to handle things.”
At the very least, there must be divine generals guarding the Maiden Temple to prevent people from coming to their door and demolishing the statues and shrines.
“Aren't there Great Sage and the others?”
“They still have to follow us. What's more, they can't attack the human race.”
Although the demons like Great Sage called Xiaocui Mistress, they couldn't be considered the White Maiden's subordinates.
Directly interfering in the affairs of the human race was very easy to fall into karma retribution.
In comparison, Xu Chengxian was much freer to walk in the human realm with a clone.
He could kill people when bandits offended the White Maiden, but Great Sage and the others couldn't.
Because he was a 'human' race cultivator and cultivated Xuanmen techniques, whether it was to request a title for the 'Snake Immortal' or to stand up for the White Maiden, it could barely be considered allowed by the rules.
“In the human realm, the human race is the darling of the Heavenly Dao,” Xu Chengxian said with a smile.
If it were a Xuanmen cultivator, they would be even more domineering. They really had people above them.
Unfortunately, he was a fake.
“Is that so?” Bai Xiaocui didn't think so. “I don't think any darling family has had such a miserable life?”
Wearing tattered clothes, living in a cramped place, and not even being able to eat.
At least the little demons in the demon realm could still manage to get a full meal.
Xu Chengxian: “…” Unable to refute.
“And they are bullied by their own people and tortured by demons, but no one cares.”
Xu Chengxian: “…” One's own people might be even more ruthless when exploiting their own people.
“Look, someone else is here to ask for help.”
At this time, several old men were kneeling in front of the White Maiden Temple.
They came with muddy feet.
They washed their feet at the door first, put on their shoes, and then dared to go inside.
They knelt down with a thud, and two lines of hot tears flowed from their eyes.
It made people feel sad.
“But fortunately, we're here,” Bai Xiaocui transmitted the things they asked for to Xu Chengxian with her divine sense and said with a giggle, “My big cub has a good heart and is willing to save people from suffering!”
“…Xiaocui, don't tell the truth indiscriminately in the future,” Xu Chengxian touched his nose.
It made people feel embarrassed.
The old men in the temple were from Jiangjia Village.
And Jiangjia Village was closest to Songjia Village.
So he decided: “The next step is to go to Jiangjia Village and start by killing this pheasant spirit!”
