Using a borrowed knife to kill a demon?

Little Red Temple, Lake God Temple.

This small white lake is indeed the spirit-filled lake required by the "True Secrets of Washing Branches and Collecting Water".

Perfect timing! Taking a wisp of water vapor from here will make his trip down the mountain worthwhile.

at the same time.

The temple to the lake god is small in scale and does not contain any statues of gods.

Behind the incense table, a bull demon was squatting.

The pair of short, thick, and curved horns resembled dark blue jade, with faint water ripples appearing at the tips.

This bull demon was about the size of an ordinary calf, and its entire body was covered in short, wet, bluish-black hair.

At this moment, the bull demon awoke from his half-asleep state, a hint of unease appearing in his eerie green eyes.

The bull demon swayed its thin, fin-like tail restlessly, its intuition telling it that something bad was about to happen.

This lake god temple was built voluntarily by the villagers at the foot of the mountain after he persuaded them with kind words.

The bull demon forcibly suppressed his unease, jumped off the altar, and opened the temple door.

Looking across the vast lake, a figure suddenly appeared on the shore.

Judging from that person's build, he's hardly a virgin.

With a kick of its hooves, the bull demon crossed the vast lake and stood in front of Pei Si.

Pei Si's pupils changed.

Pei Si glanced at the bull demon; he was just a nobody.

"Who are you? This lake god doesn't kill nameless nobodies." The bull demon was arrogant, snorting loudly through its nose.

Pei Si struck out with his palm, then withdrew his force.

Snapped!

A deep pit shaped like an ox was formed in the depression on the bank.

The bull demon saw stars; its horns had been snapped off, and disbelief filled its eyes.

The Taoist priest squatted by the pit, removed his mask, and tilted his head with a smile, asking, "Tell me, why do you insist on occupying this Little White Lake? What mysteries does this lake hold?"

Pei Si had just examined the land using the method of land surveying, and the feng shui of this lake was indeed good. According to the classification of land by the shepherd, it could be rated as a "pure" land.

There should be some rare and precious treasures appearing, but Bai Xiao just checked and couldn't even find a single hair of them. Could it be that they have already been swallowed by the little bull demon in front of us?

The bull demon felt a chill run down his spine, and trembled with fear.

Although the Taoist priest in front of him spoke with a smile, he still felt uneasy.

The bull demon said weakly, "Immortal Master, this mountain is called Little Pearl Mountain. Can you guess what the character 'Pearl' means?"

Pei Si narrowed his eyes.

The bull demon dared not keep them in suspense and hurriedly said, "This pearl is named after the dragon pearl. Legend has it that this mountain is the place where a little white dragon with some cultivation finally perished."

"Legend has it that the little white dragon has raised a dragon pearl, hence the name of the place: Xiaozhushan Xiaobaihu (Little Pearl Mountain and Little White Lake)."

"A dragon?" Pei Si thought to himself.

"Where are the Dragon Balls?" Pei Si asked.

The bull demon chuckled and whispered, "Immortal Master, rumors are just rumors. Where did this dragon pearl come from? The place where it finally fell is just a rumor. It's just that the real dragon stayed on this mountain for a while and urinated in this Little White Lake, which caused some changes to the lake. Cultivating here would be very beneficial to us demons."

Pei Si remained silent.

Does this mean that a mountain is not sacred because of its height, but because of the immortals dwelling there; or that water is not sacred because of its depth, but because of the dragons living within?

A splash of dragon urine has such a miraculous effect.

Mr. Wu was right.

The white dragon horse once said, "If I urinate in the water, the fish in the water will eat it and turn into dragons; if I urinate in the mountains, the grass in the mountains will absorb the flavor and turn into lingzhi mushrooms, which will be picked by celestial children to grant them longevity."

Pei Si looked at the lake bull demon. This little demon was quite well-informed; perhaps he had connections to someone higher up, which was why he was able to occupy this precious land.

Just like Huang Sanlang, who could guard the stalactite cave based on his bloodline.

"I'll ask you again, do you know the escape method that the Great Ancestor of Langdang Mountain possesses?"

"An escape method?" The bull demon's eyes darted around.

He may not know about other things, but he definitely knows about this!

After getting drunk, an elder of the Bull Clan, perhaps speaking the truth in his intoxication, told the demons present about this matter.

Should this information be told to the Taoist priest in front of me?

The bull demon's brain raced, its eerie green eyes narrowing slightly as it saw the Taoist's hand already on the hilt of his knife, and it shuddered.

If I don't say it now, I'm afraid my head will roll on the ground in the next second.

The Great Ancestor of Langdang Mountain is not an ox, he's just a weasel.

Those who are not of our kind deserve to be condemned!

The bull demon struggled to his feet from the pit, a sheepish grin on his face, and whispered, "Immortal Master, please don't use your knife. Let me explain."

Pei Si gave a half-smile, but his hand did not move away from the hilt of the sword.

"Rumors circulate that the Great Ancestor possessed a method for escaping, but this is not true."

The bull demon changed the subject and continued, "The Great Ancestor has a treasure called the Talisman-Nourishing Gourd. Every month, that gourd can produce an escape talisman on its own, and it is of a very high grade."

"There is a female Taoist priest on Mount Qingcheng with extraordinary swordsmanship. She personally drew her sword, but only because the Great Ancestor possessed an escape talisman did she escape unscathed!"

Upon hearing this...

Pei Si's gaze was deep and unfathomable.

The female Taoist priest of Qingcheng Mountain is undoubtedly the master.

It turned out that the demon was holding a superior treasure in his hand, and he also happened to have an escape talisman, which allowed him to escape his master's killing.

It is a treasure.

If his Taoist skill "Stealing" is unlocked, wouldn't there be a chance that he could steal it directly?

Pei Si thought to himself.

However, the conditions for unlocking the "Stealing" feature are quite demanding.

[Promotion Requirements: The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl held by the Wind-Thunder Centipede, the Toad Skin shed by the Moon Toad, and the Fire Cloud Pill held by the Fire Cloud Spirit Fox!]

You need these three treasures to advance in rank.

Wind and Thunder Centipede, Moon Toad, Fiery Cloud Spirit Fox.

Just hearing its name tells you that it is not to be trifled with.

If Langdang Mountain can be leveled, a large sum of merit will surely be earned.

But this little bull demon is far too well-informed.

For a moment, Pei Si had doubts.

Pei Si drew his sword instantly, giving the bull demon no time to react. Seeing the sword against its neck, the bull demon staggered and fell back into the pit, immediately kneeling down: "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, spare my life! I've told you everything, not a single lie!"

Pei Si's face was as cold as frost.

"Tell me, how could you, a mere demon guarding a small mountain, have known such confidential information?!"

The bull demon hurriedly replied, "Immortal Master, you may not know, but I am the illegitimate son of the second-in-command of the Blood Bull Clan, and I have some connections! Therefore, I am invited to the clan's banquets, and some of the clan's elders are also well-informed!"

"I see."

The tip of the knife moved from the bull demon's throat.

The bull demon was drenched in sweat, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon.

Pei Si's mind raced with clues, and he sneered inwardly: "The three major demon clans of Langdang Mountain jointly rule the mountain, but the Yellow Demon has taken the lead and become the master of Langdang Mountain."

"The Three-Eyed Fox Clan and the Blood Ox Clan may harbor rebellious intentions upon seeing this weasel occupying the position of mountain lord."

Pei Si gazed intently at the bull demon, secretly speculating:

"Among the demon race, there should be those skilled in divination and prediction. Could it be that they intentionally sent this lake ox to me so that it would reveal the truth?"

Using someone else to do the dirty work?

No, use someone else to kill the demon.

"Immortal Master, look at me..."

The bull demon's voice abruptly stopped!

A flash of light appeared.

Pei Si flicked the blood off his knife.

The bull demon's head, like a ball, rolled back into the pit.

Having opened the door to cannibalism, this bull demon is now courting death.
